There Are Times I Like Winter

First things first, I have to say, "Thank You, for all the well wishes and that sucks." 

I was rolling out of a parking space slowly because the car to my right was huge and I couldn't see anything. Which explains why I rolled right into the car driving past.  No one was hurt the cars didn't even jerk. There was no damage to my car at all.  The other car's passenger door was bent in. There wasn't even a visible scratch.

Hopefully, it is an easy fix for them.  I am feeling bad that it is something that they have to deal with. Feeling like an idiot.  

It was great to read everyones idiot moments.  

Made me feel better. 

Sometimes I think there is something wrong with the fact that other's idiot moments make me feel better.

Second, thing second.

There are times I like the winter and the snow.

For example days like today.

The sky is a beautiful blue, the snow is melting, the high is 44.  Which may sound cold but it feels blissfully warm.

I could handle winter if it would stay this way.

It is even pretty outside.

So in true Krissi fashion I went outside for some shots.

What do you think?

This look is why people don't like cats.  This look is why I like cats.  It just says, "Really, really, you want to mess with me. Just walk a way." I want to master this look.

Here is my rose flower bed.  They are there somewhere. Promise.

welcome

I just liked this shot of the welcome sign by my front door.

Here is a shot of the beautiful sky I told you about.  Doesn't it look heavenly? I love clouds. Especially, when there is no snow in sight.

This is just a shot of a bush.  Very exciting. Right?

You just made me shiver a bit with that last photo.

Since I missed the "hey, I'm an idiot too" comments, I thought I should fess up. I am an idiot too! I have backed into a couple metal posts in carports, dividing parking lots, etc, and that was bad. However, far worse was when I backed into the little cart-thingy that helps grocery workers gather the shopping carts into those ridiculously long cart-trains. Banged the heck out of my bumper. Luckily, I drive a Saturn most of the time. So, that huge dent (huge-huge dent... stinkin' plastic car can't take any strain) popped right out. If only it hadn't crumpled the paint on the bumper.

You are not alone in your moment of D'OH!

LOVED the snow today too! It was so pretty outside! I just wanted to stay out to look at the huge mountains all around us! I even turned off the heater inside for a while and opened up windows ... until it was too chilly inside and had to close up again. the 40's do seem warm already to us too!

I'd love to have your camera! Your pictures look great! I took one to show my family at home what pretty views we have here but it did no justice to the real thing. Glad your accident was a little one!

I agree that it was nice also. I actually kept going outside to shovel, pretty much nothing, but it was nice to be outside. I just kept braking ice up from our drive way. WEEEEEE.

I love that cloud shot, it's great! It's so dramatic and perfect.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
