Among the Living!

Well Hello my B_E_A_U_T_I_F_U_L blogging buddies!

I am happy to announce that I am among the living again! I'm sure you are all relieved! ;)

My flu/bronchitis/pnemonia....or just plain "crap" that I had is moving on out of here! It has been 2 weeks of nasty cough, fever, body aches...and you name it!

Just for the record.....Any colds, flu, coughing, aching, fever...whatever cometh... may not reside in this body any longer! Even though I am temporarily in this body, we will not reside in it together! Just so you know! So hit the road sickness!

Whew! I have been jumping around from blog to blog trying to catch up on everyone and everyone's business! Hahaha!

I was talking with a friend last night at church about how when we were both sick, we both seemed to hear from the Lord more loudly. Or maybe it was because we were wanting to. Or maybe because we didn't have any outside stuff going on (because we were sick) that we had time to listen, or maybe just the plain fact that He made me listen!!

I hope to share some of the intimate moments that God and I had these last few weeks whenever I have enough energy. It's taken me all afternoon just to get this typed out! ;)

Glad everyone is well, and we will talk soon! ~

Monday already?

Wow, this past week flew by.

Well, let me start by saying that I finally confessed my guilt about my fishing ticket. ;) Hubby wasn't really mad. I haven't called to see how much it is going to cost. I should probably do that.

Weekend went fast. Had a date with Hubby on Friday that was fabulous! We don't get to do it often, so it was very nice. Saturday night church was awesome. Love spending time with my church/people.

Yesterday...felt yucky all day. I think I have an upper respiratory infection. I coughed, coughed, and coughed some more! Have sore throat, couldn't sleep from wheezing. Not how I want to spend a Sunday. So of course today, I'm totally dragging. And it's still early! Eeeek! Somebody gave me their cooties! ;)

We had snow yesterday! It was beautiful! Huge flakes too. Maybe 3-4 inches, but it was still nice to not have to get out in it. Hubby made some stew and cornbread that we ate on all day. By last night, there was none left!

I'm going to try to get some work done! I hope everyone has a blessed week! :)

Fishing again...

Well hello my bloggin' buddies!

I hope your weekend was blessed. Whether it was productivity you wanted or sleep, or just plain "whatever," I hope you received it.

I had the joy of going fishing yesterday with my son. Of course I had a gazillion other things that needed to get done too, but chose fishing. One, I love to fish, two...quality time with Joshua! I won't always have that, but will have laundry and other stuff to do. Three?? Well there isn't a three!

It was still a little chilly yesterday afternoon. Ok........a lot chilly. As in only 44 degrees chilly! Burrr...! Enough to freeze my chi' chi's off! It was however gorgeous! There weren't many people fishing so the lake was kind of quiet... or so we thought. I've included a video for you to watch so turn your volume up! It's amazing! Well it was to me. Maybe I just don't get out much! Bahahaha!




This happened on four different occasions. I was in awe! Josh on the other hand was worried about ....well to put it into his words..."getting crapped on!" I must say I'm surprised we didn't, because the ducks were....hum...what do I say..."letting loose"...haha...ok just forget it, they were "crapping, pooping..." (whatever you want to call it) all around us! Even with nature calling, I enjoyed our time together! Hopefully he did too!

We didn't manage to catch any fish, but I did manage to catch a big fat ticket! Yes, you read right. A BIG FAT TICKET! My fishing license expired just two months ago! A ticket! Are you kidding me!!! Now I've been fishing with my son on and off for about 3 years now. Two years with no license (I know, I know...I should have had one) and never got caught. Then I finally go get a license and manage to hang on to it for over a year and still never ever saw a game/park warden. But two months after my license expires...you guessed it...the Park Ranger shows up! Not just any park ranger...but a good-looking park ranger! :) He was very nice, so I can't say anything bad. I did ask why he wasn't at home watching the Superbowl! He said all of his co-workers were at home already watching the game, and stated that "Someone had to work!" :) Anywhoo...I haven't broke the news to my husband yet, so to everyone that reads this....Shhhhhhhhhhh!

Nothing new...

Well I'm excited to say, there is nothing new to report at the Ortega household. Eddie is doing good, kids are good, I'm good! Woot Woot! Ready for the weekend. Not that I have much planned, but need the rest and catch up on laundry.

Church is cancelled tonight. That will give Eddie and I some time to catch up on running around that we need to do. :)

Catch you later!~
