The 12th was a Friday… a very hectic Friday at work, plus I overslept. Ugh. That is why you will see a clump of shots in the morning before work and the rest are clumped in the evening. So basically these are all shots around the house, which explains all the animal and kid shots. I hope you enjoy.

7:08 AM Treats for daycare.

7:11 AM Nice boots, eh?

7:11 AM I don’t really know when he became a little boy.

7:49 AM The purple door to the “good” daycare.

Fast forward 12 hours… insert crappy day at work here. lol

7:59 PM My boys having some quality time… sorta.

8:00 pm The rough life of an old dog.

8:00 PM The jake-o-rama striking a pose.

8:12 PM Playing one of his games… up close.

8:33 PM This face cracks me up everytime!

9:11 PM The Tyler-Y

9:12 PM All those toys and he plays in a quilt.

9:13 PM - Hunter playing peek-a-boo… he loves hiding in a blanket.

Chad has announced that this year is his last. That makes me sad, but I totally understand. I am grateful for Chad’s contribution.

Without further ado… my 12 of 12.

6:00 am - Wet hair - just from the shower.

6:11 am - dry hair - apparently it takes me 11 minutes to dry my hair… it sure seems longer than that.

6:23 am - Letting the puppies out.

7:00 am - Hunter eating a banana, just before we leave for the morning.

7:03 am - Coffee for the road, trying to break the Starbucks habit.

5:17 pm - the view from my office window.

5:18 pm - the view from the other side of the office… hey… I’m know… I’m stretching the 12 out here, and the sunset DID look cool.

5:22 pm - News truck outside work… never a good sign.

5:43 pm - It’s bowling night for me and school night for Kev, so Grandma is on Hunter duty. Grandma and Hunter like to go to McD’s.

5:48 pm - New Motorola Droid phone *random* p.s. LOVE this phone!!

6:25 pm - Bowling alley

8:49 pm - What really happens at bowling. (that’s my buddy Dar)

Thanks for checking it out. Tuesday’s are rough days to do the 12 of 12, but I guess you got a real look into my day. Don’t forget to check out Chad’s site.

Seriously, 2009 sucked big sweaty donkey balls.  Not an all inclusive list, but some of the shittier things:

Kev lost his job in January and stayed unemployed until October when he finally found a part-time job… working weekends.

I didn’t get a promotion to a job I was already doing.  The man they hired over me worked for 4 months until they let him go… then I had to do the job AGAIN… until they hired someone else.  WTF.  I can be the Pretend Finance Director, but not real one. Whateva…

Do I even need to mention the 10% pay cut….?

The tragic and unbelievable death of my friend, Brian … still makes me cry. This one thing in and of itself made 2009 suck the absolute most!

Not to be completely negative, there were some great and amazing things that happened in 2009. I got to meet my long-time Internet buddy, Meghan and her amazing family.

I got to travel to the ocean with my family and I got to show Hunter the ocean, how awesome is that?

As a whole? I’m glad it’s over. I’m very hopeful and positive for the future. Welcome 2010… come on in, kick off your shoes, have a seat… relax and make yourself at home.

Happy New Year my friends. I hope 2010 is a wonderful new year for everyone.

Here we go:

10:00 AM Relatively early start for us on a Saturday. Here is the frozen car we are waiting to thaw before getting into.

10:00 AM (be patient… there are 3 at 10… I take pic fast! lol) Hunter playing in the snow… I mean ice. Now is a good time to teach him (and his toes) the difference between snow and ice.

10:00 AM The sun coming thru the frozen trees is so pretty. This is the side of the front yard.

11:31 AM Sally’s Beauty supply… where I get my “fix” hehehe get it fix… Before Sally’s we went to breakfast with Grandma.

11:31 AM Hunter acting up with a sucker…this is an over the sholder shot from the front seat.

1:33 PM Have you ever seen a lazier dog? Of coure he does have a bad knee… but really….

2:14 PM Our local fire department had a little Christmas party for the kids. Free Cookies!

2:14 PM Hunter and a fire truck.

4:07 PM Hunter helping me make cookies. He is a very good helper, he unwrapped most of the hersey kisses and didn’t eat one.

4:07 PM First he sorted all the red ones….

5:22 PM Cookies!!

8:35 PM Some adult fun, Kev and I went to a Texas Hold’em party.

Well there it is… thanks for checking it out. I maybe doing a year recap, I don’t know how many 12 of 12 I missed…

Sorry Meghan, but I have to admit my love and adoration for your man. He helped me… oh hell… no help about it… he fixed my computer for me tonight and I am eternally grateful.

It’s beyond cool to have such smart friends. I love you guys!!!

Until tomorrow…

nABLOpOmO - day 25

Oh how I miss the days of just being able to turn it on and not have an error message or having to reinstall something. At least is did motivate me to make sure all my photos and videos were backed up again.

Until tomorrow…

nAbLOpOmO - day 23

I know for sure my Pinnacle 14 software isn’t working…. and I just bought that too!! Damn.

I’ll let you know how it goes and what I think…. if I can ever get back online. lol

Until tomorrow (or post upgrade)…

nAbLOpOmO - day 22 (yea, I know… I didn’t post yesterday)

Pear-eee

Yes Mom, I am passing on my love of cartoons to my son (my Hubby already had it).

Until tomorrow…

nAbLOpOmO - day 20

Well I’m really so far behind I may have to go in anyway, but they still won’t pay me. But that won’t really stop me; I hate being so far behind.

The other funny thing is I have been said this last week, but didn’t go in. Well I did go in for a minute, but I didn’t stay.

I wish I knew why the brain I go to bed with isn’t the same brain I wake up with. For example, I will go to bed thinking “yep, it’s best if I go into work tomorrow and I will get this, this and this done.” Then in the morning once I get up and get moving my internal speech switches to “I don’t want to go”… and I usually end up not going or planning on going another day (I don’t go then either). LOL

I’ll let you know how this works out… in the mean time, TGIT.

Until tomorrow…
