U Gotta Be Kiddin Me

I am totally not used to this Sunny weather day after day, after day. But today we are doing housework, getting everything all spruced up again because I want it to look and stay nice in here. We have so much more space in here, meaning more space to clutter up. I don't want that. So now we are just chilling, as I just baked a cake for Jonathan and Mike. We went to a German restaurant last night, my Son wanted their cake. So while at the store I bought the cake mix and frosting and that's what we are having later on for dessert. I think we are making baked chicken and fried potatoes for dinner. I am wanting some corn, but not sure if we have any left.

After what went on with my Grandma's funeral. Some of us were left in the dark on how much things actually cost. It seems my Mom was not informed of some of the funeral costs and was shocked on some of the things that popped up out of nowhere or that she wasn't told. It seems my Uncle, kept a lot of things from her. It also seems that we are no longer the family we once were. Before my Grandma died, we would celebrate every Christmas together and now it was all a show for our Grandma. He truly showed his true colors after Grandma passed away. And its really sad he turned out to be such a jerk and cold hearted person. And yes, my heart is broken because we all missed Grandma dearly. In fact last night, I was laying down and an image of her popped into my head. And I just started crying.

Well hoping anyway. I know we really need to buy groceries. I hate not knowing what's for dinner. I am trying to make sure we get our meat and vegetables, you know healthy foods that is. We started are diet and exercise routine, and I want to keep it healthy. I want to be healthy.

Earlier this week, we had our insurance switched over to out here. But I have a feeling I am switching companies, as the amount they quoted is ridiculous. But we did get some home insurance information and did get renter's insurance. I figured its better to be safe than sorry. After finding out how crime is around here and I don't want to take a chance at all with our stuff here. Which reminds me, I need to take some pictures off my computers and my laptop. I feel better knowing its on my portable hard drive if you know what I mean.

Out here the electric is completely different from back home. Here there is a option to your billing. They have a thing called M-Power. Its a Pay As You Go. You put money on a card, slide the card into this machine that is plugged into one of your outlets and it monitors your usage. So now we know exactly what we are using here for electricity. Right now we are using about $2.00 a day. Not too bad, but it will change when the hot weather kicks in. We have another couple of months before that happens. I am again, so grateful that we made this choice to move. Its been so nice being here, as I do miss my family but I know we will be seeing them and soon. Until then we are taking everything in and learning the roads. Unless your on the highway its pretty easy. The interstates are very confusing and if your not paying attention, you can either end up in California, Mexico, New Mexico or Utah....

Each day now when I wake up, I don't want to sleep in. I want to enjoy every second of the Sun and the beautiful weather as it is given to me each day. We didn't have this back in Illinois, granted it will always be home. I have no regrets moving here whatsoever. As soon as I see the sun rising, I can't wait to get up. Funny huh? Well yesterday we went hiking in the Tonto National Forest to see the Natural Bridge. Sad though that its closing, but at least I can say we got to see it. Had a scary encounter coming down the steep 14% hill. Some idiot passed us on the scary part of the hill, so I flipped him off and turned him in to the park ranger. That man put my life in danger and his own families life. Its not how I should of encountered my first visit there. Well its a new week, time for me to get some much needed rest. I am beat, sore as all get out and ready for bed.

We have started exercising by hiking and walking. There are so many places around to go hiking. We found the perfect place that is a couple miles away and in a good area too. We may have to go read some diet supplements review to see if there is anything out there to help us in this new adventure into losing this unwanted weight!! I am loving my life, only wish now that my family was here with me.

I feel relaxed now, my Boyfriend went and got some pizza from the place across the street and also brought back hot wings...so much for the exercise we did today! I know we are doing it tomorrow too!!!

I posted some pictures of some ducks and mallards on my Facebook, well some mean person decided to hit one of the mallards a street over. I feel so bad right now as I am animal lover and it breaks my heart to see that. Now there is only one mallard left, I thought after seeing that poor thing in the road that my blood pressure was going to shoot up. I know I may need some cholesterol treatment to prevent my blood pressure from going up. My heart is broken though for that poor mallard.

After walking today, I really need to take a hot bath and relax!! I will feel better knowing I am feeling fresh and clean. Things are starting to look up here. I am excited, finally getting my mail. Its been over 20 days, and I know I have important paperwork just floating around out there. I did however get my Son's Social Security card in the mail today. Yay!
