Afternoon Randomness: Pictures

I'm going to try to be a woman of very few words (which is hard for me!).  Mostly just pictures, maybe a quick explanation.  Enjoy!
------
I *heart* Rocky Mountain sunsets...





My Emmie :o)


As usual, Kiera needs to brush her hair :o)  But don't you just LOVE the color?!


Abigael undressing a Barbie... her mission is to leave no Barbie DRESSED!  LOL


Pink Gerbera daisies, my second favorite flower.  First are RED Gerbera daisies! :o)





Morning randomness

It will only be morning for another 37 (or so) minutes, but still enough time for morning randomness before afternoon randomness, right? :o)

First.  I had a bad dream the other night.  Really creepy.  Will NOT even talk about it, so don't ask.  I will tell you two things about it though.  

1.) Paris was in it.  Right, Paris, from Gilmore Girls.  LOL  That information would totally be funny if she wasn't part of the creepy stuff. :o)  (rabbit trail: Was watching GG season 1 the other day and Rory said something was "Hearst Castle-y"... I lived 10 minutes from Hearst Castle!)
B.) I was watching a video for Depeche Mode's song 'Wrong' and it gave me the sick to my stomach feeling I got after waking up from this creepy dream.  Not EXACTLY like my dream, but it was close enough to part of it.  I'm glad I only watched it once, the vomity feeling hasn't diminished my liking of the song!  Phew!

Yesterday, the girls and I were coming back from Wal-Mart (needed diapers.  Totally need to get Abigael potty trained!!).  In fact, we were home, and I was just putting the car in park in our driveway.

Abigael:  Mama?
Me:  Yes.
Abigael:  I have to go home, mama.
Me:  O-kay.?  Well, we are home sweetie.
Abigael:  Okay.

Seriously, Abi is a strange bird.  Maybe that conversation doesn't sound strange, but it is, believe me.  It is strange because, randomly, Abigael will come up to Rick or I and say "I want to go home."... when we are sitting IN our home.  Sometimes when she has a bad, meltdowny day, she'll start crying and saying she wants to go home.  Rick says maybe its because I'M weird.  :o)  Weird in a way that I can remember things from when I was 2 (a little while back, of course)... like maybe Abi remembers California and she wants to go back to her home in Morro Bay.  Who knows.  Either way, she's a strange bird. :o)

26 minutes left to the morning!

Heading out to Golden, Colorado tomorrow.  For those of you who don't know, Golden is home to the Coors Brewery!  And they really do use "Rocky Mountain water"... from Clear Creek, it runs right past/through the brewery!  Personally, I always wondered if they were making that up, but they aren't!  :o)  Golden is quite beautiful, and tomorrow I am finally going to get the chance to GET OUT OF THE CAR to take pictures!! (normally, I get to sit in the passenger seat and take pictures as we drive by places.  Sometimes I get good pictures, other times, not so much!)

Golden is a 'western' town.  Founded in 1859, during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush... interesting, right?  Golden is also home to the '2 hour vacation'.  And while THAT sounds like a quickie, it is really just all the fun stuff you can do in and around Golden.  Seeing how the city is only about 20 minutes from our home, but closer to the foothills, I'm hoping we'll be able to do quite a few of these '2 hour vacations'!  :o)

------

Morning randomness has been over for 10 minutes... finding those Golden links turned into a whole lot of rabbit trails! :o)  Distracting, but informative! :o)

Afternoon randomness will ensue after lunch and some vegging out with the girls :o)

Sick and tired...

Not me, but everyone else!  I'm hoping it will stay away from me!!!

Rick fell asleep with X2 blaring, glad its over LOL  I had to go pick him up from work this morning, he was just feeling that bad.  I'm such a 'mom', I didn't even want him to GO to work... but they don't do 'sick days'.  He went in and they said go home, they thought he had pinkeye because one of his eyes was bloodshot... kind of funny to me. :o)  No pinkeye.  No swine flu.  No flu at all.  Just sick.  Sleeping it off, contaminating the room... maybe I'll sleep on the couch tonight :o)

The girls are all a little sick, mostly runny noses and sneezing.  Incessant sneezing.  Because we've classified them as sick, they're playing it up a bit.  Hot tea.  Chocolate doughnuts (bought by dad when we stopped to pick up Nyquil).  A Gooby-Goo marathon.  Aren't they lucky that I bought all three original seasons?  AND the Gooby-Goo Movies.  Abigael loves Gooby-Goo.  :o)

Guess I'm going to church alone tomorrow.  Wouldn't want to get anyone else sick.  Should be interesting... we're on week 3 of BaseCamp.  Basically a 'get to know you' at our church.  I'm hoping to make a friend or two out of it, seeing as we've lived here for 10 months... and attended our church for just as long.  **Crossing fingers**

Off to watch Gooby-Goo & Shaggy catch the bad guys.  Maybe I'll talk them into watching the live-action one...
