hsy ya'all... I have not been on here for ever. I will have the husband spank me fopr it later.. lol...
Things are going great. Things at my job are going well. I am finally doing things that I have been working really hard to do. I get to help plan weddings and events. I am really happy with it all. My hubby has been unemployed and so he was the one to stay home with the lids this summer so it has been fun. He is so great with them. Between the two of us we have 4 kids and they had a great summer. He is looking into going back to school and getting his certs so he can get a better job. Most places he has been applying for really are looking for people who already have all their certs so this is a step in the right direction for him.
We have been talking about moving in the next 6 months (which I am so excited about) we just have to save up and find a place we are both happy with. I love apartments and he wants to rent a house. I do have to admit it would be nice to get a place where each of the kids can have their own rooms, close to my job, and close to friends and family. RIght now we live about an hour from most family and friends. I love wine of course why I work at a winery....:) But it would be nice to be close to civilization and be able to catch a movie or a band and then go and enjoy a nice dinner and wine. I also have been looking into different classes around town for food and wine pairing and would love to be able to make a couple of them.
Man I miss not being able to unload my thoughts and feelings on here...man it feels good. :)
I want to thank all of those who have been patient with me on here and my lack of self discipline and wiritng more often. Also sorry about grammer errors and misspleeing but hey that me. I am a little off kilter with rules and guidelines...but really full of emotion and good meaning.....

Just a quick update. I am about to jump into the shower so I can go to work. Normal day at work tomorrow we have a wedding on saturday. The boys are going to their dads today so we get the twins tonight. Summer is always an interesting time.
Looks like it is a bit overcast today and even though living in texas I always think thunder is about to lead to a tornado of some kind. HA! Growing up in Oregon I never had to worry about tornados so it scares me sometimes but I will live. :)
Sadisticembrace I promise I will call you tonight when I get home. I should be home about 8 or 8:30.
Well I am off I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Man how time flies when you are off of work. Well this week I have the boys and my nephew. I go back to work on thursday and we are gonna be doing some bottling and then this weekend we have a large wedding..
I think for the 4th of July we will be going to Oklahoma to visit a friend of my hubby's. It will be nice since in the 2 years we have been together normally he goes to Oklahoma alone to visit while I work. So this will be my first time to go with him. :)
I have the boys for a month and then after that we will have dean's 2 little ones for a month. It is nice to have them during the summer so we can spend some one on one time with them. Through out the year we normally get them every other weekend so we have one set or the other every weekend. But I am looking forward to doing some fun family activities this year.
I really want to go to Oregon soon I am about to go insane. I was born and raised in oregon and I think the summer here in texas is the hardest for me since I miss the trees and cooler winds of Oregon. Maybe this fall or winter we will be able to afford airplane tickets.
Well I am off to play some yahtzee with my youngest one.

Today was pretty decent. I got home about 7pm chatted with hubby for a while and had dinner. Which was a chicken pot pie and some yellow Squash. I love yellow squash with a little butter and salt boiled altogether..YUMMMIKINS!
I am about to go read the second book of sleeping beauty. It's a pretty cool read. Sometings in it are pretty new to me but defintly interesting.
Then I will be off to bed to get some beauty sleep for work tomorrow. We are training a new cook in the kitchen so things might be a little chaotic. :)

I love my job I work now about 4 days a week. I had mon-wednesday off and I am a little slow getting ready to go today. It shouldn't bee to bad today since we are doing labeling today. Which means and a co-worker just sit and label about 70 cases of wine by hand. It is kinda of fun really since we get sit and talk while we do it. AND i get paid. W00T!
I really wanted eto go swimming yesterday but when hubby and I drove past our pool here there was about a billion people and even more kids jumping about. Maybe we will try again tonight.
Well I am off to jump in the shower since I have some errands to run this am before work.

Had a wonderful day my friend Sadisticembrace came over and I colored her hair. Which turned out awesome. Considering last time we tried it it came out with an orange streak.OOOOPPPSSS!
Things are going great for me. I have been working at the winery alot and looks as thought starting the end of July I will be there full time.. Woohoo.
I have been reading a ton of books lately. I just finished Jane Eyre which I thought I hadn't read but then towards the end of the book I realize I had. Just finished Blackwood Manor by Anne Rice and I started on the sleeping Beauty trilogy be her as well. I cant seem to put it down. With out tv or an internet connect for about a month or so I have hd a lot of time to read again. I love it! Me and hubby will sit down with some nice cheese and bread and a wonderful bottle of white wine and read for hours on end.
Had an awesome fondue at a friends house last night. We made it together but I think I snitched to many little pieces of ham and mushrooms before dinner to really enjoy the fondue. We then played a couple of gmaes of clue ( which my hubby had never played before)and I lost both games. I did how ever save face when we played a game of yahtzee. :) YAY ME! Sometimes I think that board games dont get the respect they are due. I mean it seems lately most games are played on consoles or pc's. Oh well we had a wonderful time and I love spending time with friends.
WEll I hope that all my friends on here are doing well and please do leave a comment so I know you still here after the long period and my neglegence with my lj account...

Hey everyone I am so sorry I have been gone for so long. Things have been so crazy turned upside down the last couple of mnoths but it is good to be back.
I have been working two jobs with about 1 day off a month and even though it has been pretty rough some days for the most part I am enjoying life. I am stil loving the Winery of course. :) I work mon-friday at an ad company and while it is not my favorite I know it pays the bills.
The kids are getting big like they normally do. Dealing with getting a bad color at school or trying to keep them from wanting to wrestle and annoy each other almost constintly I love seeing them grow up. SOmetimes I miss when they were little and smoochable. :)
I am starting to get back to normal with the married life. Just like being single or just dating someone it seems to have its good days and bad. But I have to say that I would rather fight with him then with anyone else. I would rather laugh with him then anyone else and would rather make love to him then anyone else so I guess that with our first anniversary this sunday I still think I made the right choice ;)
I hope this finds all of you well and I am sorry that I have been on more but I am sure that I am going to be more on often.
Oh and sadisticembrace thanks for the nudge. :)

| It is all so different |
[15 Jan 2006|09:19pm] |
Well things are going well for me at my two jobs. I am loving it! This last week at my new job I was one of the top sellers and made more money at this job in one week then I did at my tech support job in two weeks.
Things have changed my hubby is no longer having to work for the horrible place of TECH HELL! He is loving not having to work there and put up with all their MICRO-managing. I feel bad for our co-workers that are still there. The good thing is that my hubby is starting his own pc repair and service business. He has already gotten a few jobs and things are looking good for us.
I had the boys over this weekend and it was really Awesome my oldest son just turned 10. We took him to go ride go karts. I have to say I was like a granny puttering around the course. Dean(my hubby) and Brandon(my oldest) started to really get into it. After that we headed over to play laser tag. I so loved it. I cant wait to go back. It was only 12 minutes but it was a total adrenaline rush. I cant wat to go back and play again and again and again and again. Well you get tyhe point.
Things have been great in my marriage. Hubby and I have been getting along great. We make sure to give each other space. I realizede that I was being way to over protective thinking that every woman he talked to was a potential home wrecker. I feel very secure with him and I and I know that I need to allow him to be him. The reason I fell for him was because was so sweet and caring.
All the kids are doing well in school. The last report cards were great. I cant complain with b's. My youngest needs to stop the talking in class. I dont know where he gets it. HA HA HA
Well I am gonna run I need some beauty rest before my weeks starts all over again.
Hope things are going well for all of you. :)

I have to admit I love the holiday season and I absolutly love the christmas feeling I get when I see people open their gifts and being around family and friends. I love cuddling the boys and telling them merry christmas and kissing their little freckled faces. BUT I have to say I am glad things are getting back to half way normal. I have been so busy with two jobs this holiday season it is the first weekend I didnt have to work straight thru since the begining of december.
The hubby and I are doing well I think we are growing closer as a couple. But you all know I can be a freak and over analyze so many things.
The kids are getting bigger and I am happy to see them happy and safe.
Family and Friends are well so I cant complain.
Cryssie :)

| baby its cold outside. |
[08 Dec 2005|04:26pm] |
Well we got hit with the ice and cold here yesterday. It was actually pretty nice since today we have no work. It is so icy out we cant even make it up the big hill by our house. Our poor little car wants to go up the hill but it just sits there and the tires spin. :)
I have been so busy the last couple of weeks working my new job monday -friday and then the winery on the weekend but I love it. Tomorrow I work 8-4:30 and then head to work the winery for a dinner from 5-11pm. I have to say I like working the dinners at the winery it is so new to me and the tips are soooooooo nice. :)
I am getting excitied about the holidays. I love giving gifts and seeing peoples faces when they open them. I think we will have al of the kids for christmas eve this year and then christmas day they will be at their other houses.
Well my man is taking a nap so I think I might join him. Hopefully I can wake him up to play with out him getting grumpy. :)

| and the test went well. |
[11 Nov 2005|06:14pm] |
Okay I first off want to thank everyone that wished me luck and gave me the congrats on getting the job. It is so wonderful to be able to sahre something like this with friends and see all the positive feed back. I really really apperciate it.
The test went wel after the nurse scared me to death about not filling the cup and that I would have to start over if I didnt. Also the whole dont flush the toliet or wash your hands until you give them the specimen. I was a bit shy. It took me about an hour and seriously about 20 shots size glasses of water to finally get it done. I then spent the rest of the day running errands having to go tinkle about every 30 mins.
Thanks again for all the support..
:)

YAY! i got the job. I have to go in for the pee test in the morning and then I start monday. Plus my best friend got the job as well so we will be training and selling together. Thank you to all of you who wished me luck.. :)
I luva you all for the good lucks...

Yeah Payday. Okay payday came a day early for us which I am so glad. I sent in my resume and cover letter for a job. I am hoping I hear back from them today. The hubby was really excitied. He has been so sweet about me not working and never pressures me or makes me feel bad about not working but I have to admit it will be nice to have extra cash during the holiday season. :)
I still work at the winery on the weekends and hopefully this new job during the week. AS soon as the winery as a full time position available I am all over it though.
Not much going on today. I need to do the daily clean up chores and wait for the phone to ring with good news about a job.
I have been working really hard on some personal things. I have been trying to have faith in my relationships and friendships but little things seem to happen that make me a little apprehensive. I am sure it is only me and everything is fine, but because of my past I always think the worst first and then hope for the best. Ha Ha Ha
I have been thinking about writing a biography again. I did it once when I first moved to Texas and wrote down everything that had happened to me as a child up to the point I moved to texas. Good and Bad. Then after finishing it and sharing it with my best friend and my hubby I deleted it and burned the hard copy it was kind of a way for me to move on. I am excitied now though to perhaps write again all that has happened and occured since I moved here and maybe it would give me a better outlook on my life with out Oregon. I miss home alot but I do have my hubby and our kids here and I want to concentrate on the good things so I wont be so homesick during the holidays.
I hope you all have a wonderful day :)

| Well its Wednesday... |
[09 Nov 2005|07:36am] |
Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I dont really have much to do today so maybe I will just hang out most of the day.
I really wish I was in a car heading back to Oregon right about now. I miss the fall there. I miss the light rains and the leaves falling. I miss the winter blowing in and freezing everything it touchs. I miss my home. I miss being around family. I miss being able to pop over and see my dad when ever I want. I miss having family and friends around me for the holidays.
I cant wait to go home.

| a lovely tuesday morning.. |
[08 Nov 2005|08:46am] |
well since we got back from camping I had been a bit under the weather. I head ache and upset tummy but I woke up this morning feeling so so so much better. Hubby is at work and I am about to get started on washing up the bedding from camping and getting the house back in order. I need to sit down and crochet some today if I am going to finish this 4 afghans up by christmas.
hope you all have a great day :)

|
| ugh I am so mad I could scream!! |
[25 Oct 2005|09:21am] |
I woke up this morning, all of my yarn that I just bought yesterday to start on afghans for my kids for christmas had been taken outside by our lovely dog to be played with.
I want to scream and throw a fit but I know he is still a puppy.
ugh!
Back to the store I go this weekend to get more.

[21 Oct 2005|10:38am] |
I didnt have to work at the winery this week but it seems I have been just as busy.
Let see I had lunch with the boys at school. Went by the local hobby lobby and picked up a book on crocheting. a hook and some yarn. I spent the whole day yesterday trying to figure it out and once I got the hang of it I was addicted. I love having something productive to do with my hands. I made a scarf and a cute little purse for me.It is kinda hippy looking but I love it and I already had someone see it and ask If I would make one for their 17 year old daughter.( maybe somethign I coudl from home to make extra cash). Went with one of my new co-workers to see Corpse Bride. I have to say that I liked it alot but it wasnt as funny as I had hoped. I still had the whole night mare before christmas in my head when I saw it and was disaapointed that they didnt have a song that made me laugh like NBC did.
Today I got some bad news that my old roomate and close friends mom past away yesterday.She flew out to cali last night and I wish I was there with her so I could giver he a big hug and tell her how sorry I am for her loss.
Tonight Dean is picking the boys up for the weekend. I cant wait. I am actually happy that they will be here to help drink all this root beer we have made. We put it in really cool one liter pop top glass containers. It scares me though because when I "pop the top" it sounds like champagne opening. It is really good though.
This sunday I work at the winery. It is jazz sunday and I am so excited. I know I have mentioned Jazz sunday before but what itis basically is that the winery has a Jazz group come and before out on the crush pad. They set up a really nice buffet that has 4 kinds of cheese and bread and crackers as well as different fruits and little brownie nibblets to enojy with your wine and music. We normally have a great crowd. I love it becase we have a variety of people show up. Since I am working the bar I get to see familiar faces that come for every Jazz day as well as I get to greet new comers. I love meeting people and talking with them about where their from and how they heard about us. This is so the perfect job for me.
Well I am gonna run. I neede to do laundry today and pick up some stuff our beagal Zeke has tracked aroud the house.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. :)

[19 Oct 2005|08:18am] |
Well it is wednesday. I am so glad I have this week off. I work this Sunday for jazz sunday. But it is so nice to have a week off since I think I have come down with either allergies or a cold. My little eyes are watery and my nose is stuffy and I can only sleep for about 2 hours at a time. This isnt a poor me I am sick post it is actually I am so apperciative I have the week off during this.
Things have been going really well. The hubby has made more rootbeer and a batch of mead. So needless to say we have no room in the fridge. :) But it is kinda cool to have 5 gallons of wine in the process and a 6 gallon carboy of mead going. :) We are a creative couple. ha ha ha ah
I went and had lunch with my boys at lunch yesterday. I had a lot of fun. I love seeing how they interact with their friends. I think of them as my little boys but then I see them acting so grown up with their friends. :)
Well I am gonna climb back into bed and try to get some rest.
I hope everything is going well for everyone out there. I am glad to see alot of my friends back on here.
:)

Hey I am so sorry that I havent been on much lately. I have been really busy at the Winery and when I get home I just want to shower eat dinner and crash. Things are going really good right now. I love my job. Things with the hubby and I are going really well. I had the boys this past weekend and we made homemade rootbeer. The boys thought it was the coolest thing ever. :)
I love being able to do things with the kids that they will look back on when they are older and remember it as a fond memory.
I am going to start reading and hopefully catch up on some journals.
