Back From the Edge

Well we made the trip to Colorado over the weekend and I can tell you it really kicked my butt. I should have stayed home but I am just too damn stubborn and wanted to see Alecia. We went and stayed with Cliff's cousin Greg and his wife Rhonda and they are sooooooooooo nice and we love them but did not know that they had 4 cats and a dog in the house. I am not really allergic to cats but sensitive and get itchy and kind of a congested. So does Cliff. It was kind of funny, somehow one of the cats got in our bedroom and jumped up on the bed in the middle of the night right in Cliff's face and woke him up. It about scared him silly and I can tell you that cat went flying. Cliff got it out of the room for the rest of the night. It was an experience.

Cliff and Greg worked both days plumbing a bathroom on Greg and Rhonda's rental house and I felt bad cause it was cold and miserable. I am so thankful that I don't have to live anywhere near Co. The energy there reminds me of Idaho and I just HATE it more than I can ever express and if I can ask the Lord for one thing it is that I never have to live in either place or anywhere even remotely like it. I was there two days and was so depressed by the weather and the gray energy of the place I swear I just wanted to cry. It is amazing how much it effects me. Cliff is the same way, he just could not wait to get away from there. I really wish I could understand the aversion. I mean it is so pronounced as to be actually physical. If I had to live in Alaska or somewhere I would probably die. Anyway, we enjoyed the visit but were glad to head home Sunday morning.

It was the Daytona 500 and we listened to it all the way home. and I mean all the way. They stopped it so many times that we were hoping we would make it home to see the last few laps but it ended just as we took the exit for Mesquite. As we pulled into town, it was about 75 degrees and everyone was out jogging in their shorts and I thought Cliff would cry he was so happy to be home.

So today they delivered our new flat screen TV for the bedroom. Happy Valentines Day to us. Cliff mounted it on the wall and it is sooooooo nice and just the perfect size (40inch) for the bedroom. Now I am waiting on my new blinds and doors!!!!! Yeah.

Teddi and Olivia were up over the weekend and so I got to see them both today. Teddi is so skinny the little heifer. I think she said she weights about 120. Wish it was me. Anyway I got lots of kisses from my sweet brilliant Olivia and was so happy to see her face. I wish they could have stayed the afternoon, but Ted had to get home. Hopefully I will get to see Olivia more if Teddi actually does move out here. (She is talking about it). Olivia told me she had to go home and do her homework. AS smart as she is I think she does.
