2010 - WHAT KIND OF A YEAR?

Lets see. Since the last post the Wii is successfully set up and now I'm trying to decide what I enjoy the most. I have to agree with Cole, the little Wii Lady can get quite nasty when you are trying your hardest to do the exercises the way she asked. Really reminds me of a real person.

Well we are still experiencing snow and more snow and snow, I don't think that it is ever going to end. I have been getting cabin fever so bad that it has really played heck with my attitude. But then you have the problem of trying to get to and from. Here again 3 weeks ago the only way you could get into southwest Colorado was from the highway down through Kayenta & Flagstaff. Then the City of Cortez is only concerned about Main Street and the 2 routes to the hospital. They stated in the newspaper that they will do the other streets if and when they get to them. I have used 4wheel high more this winter than I really anticipated when I purchased this vehicle, but am so happy that I had the intelligence to get a 4 wheel drive.

Then the ice storm we had played heck with my roof repair job, just one spot, but that is enough. The man that fixed came down, got up on the roof and chipped bricks of ice out of that particular area. He will patch come spring and I had decided about a week ago the next fall I will have him put some sort of heat tape system up there for next winter.

Then last, but not least, little Trixie's age has caught up with her. We finally have her thyroid problem under control and now we are working on her liver condition. So very strange how they can develop the same problems as their human owners. Anyway in around doing the Wii there have been numerous trips to the Vet. I'm now using Dr. Angela Porter and she certainly does not have dollar signs in her eyes. She is more concerned about the health of your animal.

The first of the month after the heating system is not used so much I plan on getting my blinds all cleaned, everything washed that is washable because when good weather gets here I'm going to be outside as much as I possibly can, that is if the 3 feet of snow north of my house ever goes away. Cortez and the lower valley have broken snow totals created in the past for all of the consecutive snow accumulations which there has been very little sunshine.

Well I have griped myself out so guess I will quit for now.

At least there won't be a drought this summer :) Lots of pretty flowers too!

Here---still not a flake of snow. Barely any rain...still no Wii. I just don't have the cash.

At least you have plenty to keep you busy. you mentioned watching HP and The Half Blood Prince recently. Do you own it yet?? May be a good birthday present to find in your post box, no??
