    I recently took a bunch of pictures, and was sent a few others, so I decided to share.
     

    This is the sunset at Huntington Beach last Friday night, where I cut my foot on some broken piece of ceramic some other considerate beach-goer left in the sand.
     

    These are the going away flowers I got from my pals at my old store on my last day of work.
     

    This is Tony's eye the day after Lacrosse Injury #342...
     

    This is a picture of Donavon and his family.
     

    This is something I saw that I like VERY much!
     

    And this is what's on my desktop, thanks to a certain beautiful bear
     
    That is all for now...

    PS. Oh yeah! So, I took my car to get serviced today, and since my son is on spring break he came along, and then shuttle guy, Willie, drove us over to the mall to hang out while they worked on my car, and then when he came to pick us up, we got in the can and had some bags and he says, "Did a little shopping?" and my son says, "Yeah! I got this hat and shirt, and my mom bought underwear!" and shuttle guy, Willie, is giggling while I say, "Thanks, secret teller..." not that it was that big of a leap since I was carrying a Victoria's Secret bag, but still... thanks, kid.

    "You know... their wives."
     
    "Umm, okay, but that's not very nice."
     
    "Yes, it is."
     
    "Well, it's not very respectful then."
     
    "It's nice."
     
    "Well, I'm your dad's wife, but you don't call me a hottie."

    My sweetie has to go back to work, his vacation is OVER!
     
    Hugs, Viv
     
    PS. My luvuh has a way with words, in case you didn't know, and Will sounds just like someone else I know...
  8. viv
    So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
     
    I should apologize for the coronary upset I caused a few of you yesterday, especially Davey... See a while back we had this... incident... where he thought if he didn't tell me something then I wouldn't have to worry unnecesarilly and I yelled at him So as you can imagine, when something rather scary and possibly dangerous occurs, you want to tell the people you love and let them know you are okay and even maybe... ask for a hug or two million...
     
    Anyway so yesterday morning I got up, and Rich and I showered, and got the kids up and ready for school and I ran in here to check my email and stuff and he was rushing me out the door. So he was gonna take the kids to school and then go to work, and I was headed for work too. So I was behind him driving, and then we both turned onto the main road from our house, and we were driving along and I needed to turn right while he needed to continue on straight... so everyone in the long line of cars I was in was moving forward and as I passed his car, I saw the kids waving at me and when I looked back over to my lane, and I swear it was only long enough to wave, everyone was stopped. So I slam on the brakes, but I couldn't stop in time and I ran into the back of someone else.
     
    Apparently Rich saw it happening cause my daughter said later that he was saying, "No! No! No! Oh shit!" So of course she turns around to see what he is looking at and sees me crash too... Anyway, I got out of my car to see if the other lady was okay... she was, but she didn't speak English... :wacko: So I ask her son, who is like sixteen if she is okay, and if he is, and then she doesn't have her purse... so she sends the kid to run back around the corner to get it for her from home while I let her use my cell phone to call some people, who I end up talking to since they do speak English.
     
    Anyway, so meanwhile, Rich takes the kids to school, which is just up the street and has to come back this way to go to work anyway, and he is trying to call me but I can't answer cause this other lady is on my phone. So when he did make it back to me, I finally was able to exchange information with this lady and talk to her husband and then Rich and I drove around the corner so he could take a look at my NEW CAR!! There is hardly any damage to either of our cars, I wasn't going that fast so... anyway, so after we leave to go to work, finally, I argue with myself the whole way there, for forty minutes.
     
    I want to call Dave, need to call, want to hear his voice and tell him I'm okay and I KNOW I'd be pissed if he didn't call me... but I knew he was in some crazy huge meeting for work all day and I didn't know when it was over and I didn't want to call him in the middle of it. Then I thought I could call his house, but if he's not there and I talk to Chris, Chris would probably tell hiim and he'd freak. Then I thought I could send him a text... but if he was stuck in his meeting still he'd freak... so I did nothing. Hypocrite huh?
     
    Anyway, so I was at work and he sent me a text saying he was on his way home from his meeting so I replied, saying I guess it was a good thing I didn't call you before then, and please don't worry, but I was in a teeny car accident this morning, but I'm fine, my shoulder is a little sore, but not to worry... So the next thing I know, I get this phone call from him at work saying, OMG! Are you okay? Where are you? What happened? and I felt really bad that I scared him, but SO good that he called, so I apologized for scaring him, and he said, "No, just be okay please!" Followed by CALL ME WHEN YOU GET HOME!
     
    So I did, and explained what happened, and apologized again for the heart attack I caused, which then seemed to filter throughout... although my angel seemed to keep a level head AND found a way to make me smile... so that's wicked awesome
     
    Anyway, so Rich feels horrible he left me there, but to be honest, I didn't really expect him to stop... and I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted my kids standing there freaking out or being late to school and missing breakfast, so I think he did just what I expected, I mean he saw me get out and talk to the lady so I was obviously okay... I told him accidents happen and not to worry but then he keeps saying, "Well, if I hadn't rushed you out of the house or if I hadn't told the kids to wave at you..." and I said STOP!!! It was my fault...
     
    Anyway, then I woke up at 2 am so I could spend the next hour vomiting, which I HATE doing... SO gross! And now my tummy hurts...
     
    So, besides that...
     
    Happy Valentine's Day babe, I love you today and always,
     
    Hugs, Viv

    .. a jacket! It is 81 degrees outside right now and it's not like I *NEED* one, but I think because I *ALWAYS* have at least one, and it's usually on me, I sorta panicked... Rich agreed I was being paranoid... whatever.
     
    So my friend from work 'S' got back from his trip to China that was a birthday present from a friend of his... WAY AWESOME GIFT!!!... and was telling me all these stories last night... I have concerns about visiting there now but since his stories are so... fulfilling I might just pretend like I've been there now. I actually gave him my site address so... aahhhhh! But, I love him, he's so sweet and funny and a great person so I'm sure it'll be fine.. so if you're reading 'S'... WELCOME!
     
    So I watched this movie the other night with Rich called 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'. If you can get past the ridiculousness of the idea that the premise of the whole movie is that there are these four, sixteen year old best friends who are going to be apart from each other for the summer and happen to find this pair of jeans in some store that miraculously fits them all perfectly, even though they are all different heights and weights... it was a pretty moving story and I think I cried at least three times during and once after the movie.
     
    My son is mostly better now and back to school and guess who is sick and has a fever now? Mmmhmm, ME! I'm off to squeeze in a nap before I have to go to work...
     
    Hugs,
    Viv

    Happy Birthday Angel!

    By viv,

    Okay so originally I was going to write this blog all in honor of my angel because today was, in fact, his birthday but, since I suck SO DAMN much, I didn't even know it was today till he mentioned it in some silly off the wall way. See I told him Rich was out picking up some chinese food for dinner and he said... Oh! Chinese, in celebration of my birthday!? To which you can imagine I was like Wait JUST one minute!
     
    I knew it was coming for a couple weeks now, I just didn't know the exact date and I was even reminding myself to ask after he dropped me of from our litlle trip to Lowe's but I totally blew it, and not in even a remotely good way. Anyway... officially I'm sorry, even though I know you probably don't want it to be a big deal... unofficially... it gives me 364 more days to think of something freaking amazing to do for next year to make it up to you!
     
    Anyway before I go on with what I am going to stray with later...
     
    Happy Birthday Angel!! I really am so happy that we met and that I am getting to know you a little more each day. I really think you are so special and one hell of a good man. Funny, smart, creative, way good looking, a great dancer and bartender, a good snuggler, always the giver... I think you are witty and amazing, and thanks for making me smile!
     
    Now on with the other stuff... I got a huge splinter in my ass tonight, don't even ask! And before you do anyway, I wasn't doing anything fun at all, just laundry.
     
    Rich was talking about reformatting my computer and, like as if I have any freaking idea how to do what he asked me to, I messed it up and lost a BUNCH of my files, including ALL of my pictures of you guys you ever sent me! We don't even have a suitable emoticon for this... OMFG! Anyway, if you have ever sent me one and would be so kind, I would LOVE it if you would send them again... email me, whatever!
     
    Hugs everyone!
    Viv
     
    PS. Happy Birthday Deb! Go get 'em girlie! And... Joey... I would NEVER break up with you... Sweetie.. get better already!

    the answers

    By viv,

    Okay... after much review... and extra points for creativity... and knowing who cheated I'm going to officially declare Joey the winner
     
    Here are the correct answers...
     
    1. What is my middle name?
    June... you know how very creative that was since I was born in the month after all.
     
    2. What is my favorite color?
    Green of course!
     
    3. Which of my kids is older, my son or my daughter?
    Prepubescent girl wins...
     
    4. Where was I born?
    LA
     
    5. What is my favorite candy?
    Jolly Ranchers!
     
    6. What are the names of Viv
  12. viv
    So let's see... the big news is I sent in chapter 18 to Myr and as soon as he is done partying and getting older it should be up for you to read... which means I have finished 19 and am on to writing 20. Can you even believe that?! Davey just reminded me of that fact and it is so shocking! I swear it feels like I barely started writing anything, but I really love it
     
    Alright so I have been labeled the emoticon girl... and I can deal with that since it's no secret that I am an overemotional and feeling person I'm taking it as a compliment!
     
    So Rich made me download this crazy song and I apologize in advance now in case any of you actually try and go find it... by Adam Sandler called At a Medium Pace.
     
    Without going into details here... I'm really glad the sun is shining again beautiful and that my cutie makes one hell of a paper airplane
     
    So Kev made some comment to me the other day that intruiged me in a weird sort of way... He said that he heard somewhere that in any online community you have 6 or 7 people that are really close to you... does this seem accurate to you guys? Cause I really have met so many great people here.
     
    Okay so I sort of got woman bashed in my own home the other day Rich and I were at the mall picking up my brother's wedding gift and outside that store was a guy selling stuff on a little cart thingy and he was selling these gloves that Rich really wanted for half price, like $95. So I tell him to get them like 4 times and in the end he says nah, he's gonna think about it and then pouts all the way to the car. So I tell him in the car that I'll wait for him if he really wants them to go get them and he still says no. When we get home he comes inside and starts telling Tony all about these awesome gloves he found... half price... etc... and Tony says, "Why didn't you let him get them?" I freaking told him like 5 times to get the beep beep gloves! So then Tony goes into this whole speech about how it's not that I said it was okay it's that he knew I really didn't want him to get them, and what they really want is for me to want them to get them. So i told them I couldn't condone that level of dorkdome and walked off
     
    So anyway, like I think that's like all for this blog. Dedicated of course to my east coast freaky pal... a.k.a. beautiful Like I love ya lots!
     
    Hugs, Viv
