ok...lets see if the problem is fixed

Icant beleive i havent blogged since January. The reason I have been away was my computer had a nasty little virus that kept messing up my entries everytime I tried to blog. What a mess. This will be short and sweet, just to make sure it actually is fixed and working...here goes

Dear Pomagrante Martini...

I know we haven't spoken since Monday, I was ill. I was hoping you would make an apperance this evening, again. I am going to the theater, The Drowsy Chaperone (just incase you cared), But I imagine I will return shortly after 11pm, I do hope we can get together. It has been one of those days, that only you...can make better.

xoxo...L

rambling...

First I will start by saying...Ugg I am having such a headache with this blog, technically speaking. I switched my back ground yet I still see Santa. I can't read any of my more current posts and everytime I read one of the bloggs i am following my compter doesn't respond and shuts down...ERRR!

NEXT...Yesterday was fantastically productive...we have unchristmased the house, cleaned it, best buy on boxing day was my tree storage bag @ 50% off...the whole sucker fitsin there neat and tidy ... best 12 bucks I spent the whole day! Value just wasnt realized until yesterday. rearranged Chloes room, cleaned it all up de clutterd the hallway, we had insulation blown into the attic and I was just to pooped from everything else going on to do anything about eh real clean up until yesterday! 5 loads of laundry, ran the kids to activites and bathed the, and got them to bead on time and still had enough in me too...watch Hoaders and enjoy a yummy pomagrante bevy...so good, knocked me right out...LOL

Staying asleep was the mission that was not successful...Me and two girls who are nearly as tall as me sharing, which is not a small bed it is a King, my bed. While Daddy is away the enjoy sleeping with mom. So tonight..back to their own beds...LOL

I love when the week starts off successful it sets the tone for the rest of the week, I hope! The weather, if stays like this is right on target to make this the best week to a great New Year...pretty snow is falling and the weather is only -12 with NO windchill as of yet! BEAUTY!!!

So to up date you on my 365...Hee well...I think I will start on Saturday, catch up and stay on track! Just had to home in order to be able to relax enough to be able to focus on the hobby.

Hope everyone has a great day and Week!!

Just to update you on what I am reading, The Vampire Diaries...Book one, I also have book number two ready to go...I will keep you posted as to what i think of it, As I love the show so i hope I will not be disapointed. With hubby in for school for the next two months I have alot more ME time so i plan on curling up with a good book ALOT! Bon Nuit, Mon Amis!!!!

be creative 365...

So with that being said, my girlfriend Deena has posted a challenge to gals we scrapbook with...inspired by Julie and Julia...She has challenged herself as well us friend to be creative and do a project idealy everyday BUT as long as the items equal out to 365, you will sucessfully complete the challenge. I have accepted this challenge amd will post every item, also part of the challenge to show off what you have done and inspire others. The catch is to use what you have and buy as little as you have too! that was an added perk her husband threw in...If you saw her scrappy room you would understand...LMAO!!!

To my other scrappy friend I extend this challenge to you as well... Good Luck!

Well the stocking need to be unhung without care and shoved into a box until next year!

Well it has come to that time of the year where everything doesnt seem so pretty and shiney anymore, but messy and cluttered and the need for normal has returned. I am hoping today will be the day I can get a bunch of things done. It seems to be my sole job to undue the festities every year...UGGG! I wish there was a service I could call and they would come and un christmas the house...I dread taking down the 100's of decorations we have, wrap each one up and put away for the next 11 months! But it will not get done by itself, I am hope my neck feels better today...short story went to the dentist on monday flinched so bad i re injured an old injury, alieve and a heating pad have been my best friend. Then I can complete this daunting task...

Christmas was good as always, the girls were Merry and Bright! I think I got almost everything right...I always hate the feeling after its over...uggg all that planning and preping for that one day...then its over in a few hours. I can't beleive how fast 2009 came and went...Here's to a bright and happy New Year ... bring on 2010!!!

Have a great New Year everyone!!!

Whatcha reading....

OMGOSH...definitly not a light read...I am more than half way through, I dont want to put it down but i also hate teh places it takes me too as a Mom of girls. This is a real ride of a book. It takes you to many levels of emotions. It will be intresting to see how the book plays out on the big screen. I would imagine I will be done this book today. I didnt want to put it down last night but I just had too! Thus far i would highly reccomend this book...It really grabs you in and stirrs up emotions. I love the way the author writes the book from the prespective of Susie Salmon...and she watchs life unfold and take it toles on those she has touched from heaven. I can easily say this might be my new favorite book...

books I read this month...

So the first I read was Sleeping Arrangements...Slightly predictable, although there was a twist but i was far off. I t was an easy read done in less than a day. about 300 pages only. It kept my mind occupied. I found it easier to get into than Her shopaholic series under her other pen name. I was hoping for more grit and rawness that was totally kept G rated but it was good enough and served it purpose.

Cocktails for Three...Was a bit slow starting also extremely predictable with a slight twist. I feel like I could really just copy and paste the review. No grit but not the story line for it. A very settling ending leaves you satisfied...like a pretty good cup of coffee! Also a quick read same amount of pages. I have had these books from a friend for over 2 years i think and finally I polished them of in a mere 2 days sitting.

Don't get me wrong they were not bad, they were a light read that kept you hanging on but there is really nothing to digest...which at Christmas is pretty perfect type of read! So there is my two cents!

Hello...

I can't believe I have not blogged in over three weeks...EEKK! Just no time this past while. But the clients have slowed down and 50% are on holidays so it makes it a bit easier to catch up!

The girls are down to 4 more days left of school, which is just wonderful as this means i have no reasons to think up sac lunch ideas for over 14 days! Lovely! The girls Christmas party and concerts have nearly wrapped up for the year, they have just 2 left!

They are very eagerly awaiting the the arrival of the big guy...although...Trina is a bit beside herself and she feels we just dont get way she NEEEEDDSSS am IPOD touch. Our problem with this is, she is sloppy and doesnt take care of things...we can picture already...the Ipod be smashed on her floor when someone steps on it...or being lost or left on the school bus...for the most part she is very responsible but my 11 year old just isn't ready for a $200 ipod. Chloe hopes Santa brings her a HotWheels dinosaur race track! :)

We had our Curling christmas party...a great time as always! This weekend we have our first Christmas exchange, and the girls will enjoy a sleepover and cookie baking with thier Auntie Karen while i make a quick trip to Grand Forks to pick up Kevin's Christmas present and since I am gonna be there anyways I miswell stop at Bath and body...Hee Hee and the few others perhaps! :)

Monday we will have a baking marathon here with the girls and 2 of their friends..I cant wait! The 23 we will attending the opening night of Chimpunks 2 the squeakel!! Chloe is Very Excited! then before you know it, it's Christmas eve...which means...Church then yummy chinesse food...read twas the night before Christmas put out cookies and milk then the kiddies head to bed.

Just thought I would give you an idea of what the next week and a half has in store for the Cayer's! Enjoy the holidays everyone...From our house to yours...Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

friday again already???

I can't believe how quick the week has gone by, It's seems like just yesterday, I was counting down to Vegas, been home almost 3 weeks. Then was the New Moon count down, it's been a week already???

I am a little afraid, I am really prepared for Christmas...I only have a few gifts left to buy, I am more than 50% wrapped up. The Christmas cards will be finished and put in the mail by the end of the weekend, YIKES...It always causes me concern when I am this prepared...LOL

I mean dont get me wrong, I try to be organized and such but WOWZERS...I am really prepared this year. I actually feel like I am in control for once and not just here for the ride. It is a powerful feeling! If only I could feel this passionate about get the laundry under control...LOL

I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy those around you and give thanks for the small things!

Thanksgiving...

Thankful Thursday falls on the best day...Thanksgiving! My house smells like yummy turkey and stuffing, yes I am aware I am canadian...but I am so thankful we celebrate it tiwce in our house.

I wasn't gonna do it this year, I didnt realize how much my family loves it. My hubby says to me so...are you makign turkey tomarrow for thanksgiving? I replied with I can if you guys want and it was an overwhelming response for me too...so I happily agreed!

In yrs past, I would take the girls out of school and I would call in sick. We would make cookies and watch the Macy's Day Parade. But this year I sent the girls to school and PVR'd the macy's day parade and choose to eat dinner and watch the parade while Kevin watchs football! Maybe next year we will return to the past tradition....Only time will tell.

Happy Thanksgiving To all and Enjoy your family and Friends and make sure they all know how much you really care and love them! Be blessed!

Chloe...aka..Jenette "Chipette" Miller

I have offically heard everything...I think.

So for those of you who are unaware, I am not the only Cayer who has obsessions. We all do. Chloe has been very in to Alvin and the Chipminks for a very long time, year and a half perhaps. Well today she made an offical announcement...

" My name is no longer Chloe, my name is...Mommy, what's the chipette's name that wears glasses just like me?" I respond with Jenette, she says... "Thats right Mommt!!!...I knew you would know my real name...."

I love that she has so much confidence in me!! Again...These are the things that make it all worth it!!! Go hug a kid, They'll love it!!!

Pure Joy....

Things that brought me joy this past weekend....

1. New Moon.

2. Watching it with Katrina and her 2 best buds, blushing like crazy when my nearly 11 year old screammed louder than any other when jacob was shirtless.

3. Putting up my Christmas Tree.

4. Scrapbooking and watching Vampire Diaries with Nik.

5. Nola's Peanut butter cup cakes.

6. Chloe's fever breaking.

7. My new Snowman holiday picture from my Mom.

8. Wearing only a hoodie in November!!

Things that did not give me pure joy...

1. Being squished and dragged by 100's of screaming girl all trying to get into New Moon.

2. The silly placed pole I slightly hit trying to get out of the banks parking lot.

3. The cost of Popcorn at the movies.

4. The laundry I still choose not to do, but complained yet again when I had nothing to wear.

5. The crabby sales lady @ my favorite scrapbooking store!

6. Tween Attitude

7. Jimmy Johnson winning the Sprint Cup yet again!

8. Falling asleep while watching tv and then waking up grumpy!

I finished a scrapbook

I did it! In 7 years a task i could never complete! I completed my ABC's of disney. I love it, it is a 8 x 8 album, made it super quick and easy. It was much easier to sort through thousands of pict with an agenda. I love it! Will add pics soon!

This is me and my very cute, now 30 year old hubby. This was our first night in Vegas, We checked in freshened up and went directly to Maragritaville, a Jimmy Buffett line of eatery's which are super fun. We ate good, drank 60 bucks worth of buckets o beer, and dance to Jesse's girl!! It was so fun!! It htink i would then just visit maragritaville 4 more times, handy it was in our hotel...LOL


This is a a photo of me infront of the hotel sign where we stayed. I loved our hotel. Donny and Marie were our headlining show, I wanted to see it so bad, but it was sold out the whole time we were there.

I hope this is formating correctly, I am trying to do picture then caption and so on...if not sorry..that what I was trying to do...scroll up and down...LOL

Next photo is a shot of Paris, I would love to stay there, I so wanted to go to the top and catch a veiw but we just ran out of time. Hard to budget everything in when you travel in a group. There was a resturant ant the bottom called mon ami gabby, it was situated right acrossed from the Billagio, which has the fountain show...that resturant id on the top of my to do list next time.

The next photo is of me and Jeff Gordon, we went to Madame Tuxsaudeswax museum, it was so much fun! some of the wax people are amazing!! there was onlt like 3 out of like 200 that look chessey!

just a little glimpse! I promise a few more...there are only 5000...LOL

New Moon

3 more sleeps everyone, it's only 3 more sleeps away! I remember when the count down was 150 sleeps and now we are a mere 3 sleeps away! Team Edward( me and a few other lucky gals) is present and accounted for and will be chauffering the team Jacob (Trina and her pack) to and from the Movie as well. Team Edward will win I have no fear...LOL I am their ride home...hee hee! Just saying! Just think...225 more sleeps until June 30, 2010 and Eclispe will be here! Happy counting down!

Funny how I am a 31 year woman and I count down to things more than any child I know...LOL I will never grow apparently :)

Well...I am back!!

That was the quickest 6 days of my life. It is amazing there, I love how nothing sleeps, encluding the the card flickers. For those of you who have not been to Vegas they are hoards of people giving out porn trading card, which are hooker bussiness cards, they slap them annoyingly then shove them in your face. LOL. The lights glow brightly and sounds never give up. I love it! The city itself is intoxicating, I am clearly counting down to the next trip, to complete my to do list. I LOVE VEGAS!!!

The pure cheesy meets classiness of Vegas it what gets me. I just love it. The best way I can describe it is... It's like a redneck women who dreams to own a Louis Vuiton bag. Speaking of LV, I visted the store, very impressed by the super sales women, whom nearly had me making a very wise investment for my first purchase, a mere 995.99USD would have made me the proud mother to a very cute LV hand bag, it was double stitched and a everything, did you know your LV hand bag has a life time satisfation claimer when you buy it, as long as the inside is in good shape you just bring it in and BANG hello new LV hand bag! Needless to say but I am not a new invester this time...But the cute Kate Spade bag for $295, seemed like a steal after that...LOL

I saw a few shows while there, not as many as i would have liked, but leaves something to do the next time I go back! We finally saw Leanne Rimes, the last two or three times we were to see her she was a no show but she did not disappoint, she showed up and put on a good show! I am glad Nik finally got to see her, she loves her! I was very pleased with the show. Unlike the Blueman group which I hated!! I fell alsleep shortly after they began spitting capt'n Crunch at the audiance. THat was more than enough for me only to be woke but hoards of massive rolls of toilet paper being dumped on my head, which you had to push forward. Had I been a man or young child the grossness of the show may have had some appeal but for this girl, I just want the show to be over and wished I had put that 70 bucks to better use, like investing in LV...lol

The hotel was nice, but to our dsimay they shut the heat off in the pool as off Nov 1 and close the area everday at 4 pm so we definitly didn't get much use of the area. I am sure in the summer it is beautiful! We had a Go room one night, very fun, the mirrors on the celing were a little wacky as the purpose of mirrors on a celing was lost by the gaudy 70's lights incased in the fixture...lol I love the TV in the mirror in the bathroom...Nice touch! We then were relocated to our regular room which was not as flashy but I quite enjoyed having a lounge area in our room so all in all the veiw not as nice as it was from the 25th floor but the space made up for it!

I loved the Treasure Island's free outdoor Call of the Siren's show! Fabulous!! Chessy and completely unapproperiate for kids, thank goodness they couldn't get the jokes and only really get the basic story line...My favorite line was "I love salty seamen"...LMAO Only in Vegas!!! :) One of the many reasons I will not be bringing the girls to Vegas, ever perhaps! The fountain show @ the Belaggio was amazing, The first complete show I saw was to Viva Las Vegas, which couldn't be more perfect for me...I love Elvis!! Beautiful!

Well there was so much to see so much to do and I didnt even clear half of the to do list but it's all the more reason to go back!! I dont know when, I think I know where, but the count down and the penny saving has begun!! I will post pic's very soon!

Viva Las Vegas Baby!!

Well the time has arrived! Tomarrow at this time, I will be on my way to the airport bound for Las Vegas! This is a picture of the hotel we will be staying at teh pool side I will be hanging out at. So i will be out of the blog world, but know I will be be having a blast and I will fill you al in when I ge back.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

There is my girls all dressed up ready for the candy fest, but first wee need to get a quick jump in!!! I love watching them play and just be kids, there is nothing more precious then being an innocent sweet child. I love them more every day! Have a Super Sunday everyone!

I am also thankful for....

Edward Cullen... Thank you for being so sparkley and georgous!
