oops!

Wow! way too long since i have posted on here. lol. just goes to show how long its been since i have been to grandma's with a computer! well I have started violin lessons and those are going well. The man that is teaching me is from grandparents church so naturally the only songs i know so far are church songs besides twinkle twinkle little star. amazing grace and a spotty and squeaky ill fly away. I'm really liking it though. i just got a nice full size violin. This will be my fist week taking it. Its really fun. well i think it is. Kirk doesn't wanna sit through a lesson with me though. lol. guess he doesn't like to listen to me squeak. Paul is teaching me to play by ear. He plays something and kinda tells me how to do it..."first finger, third finger...second string...no no i said second string" and then i play it and then we go onto the next thing. Its fun and challenging. Every monday at 5pm. He is very patient wich is good bc im not very patient with myself. I get frustrated when my brain knows what to do but somehow it doesnt quite get down to my fingers.

Aunt Stephie has her surgery thursday and 10am. a wicked hour to be doing anything let alone letting people cut on you. this is one of those surgeries that i dont know how to spell. One of the ones that make peole lose weight bc they pretty much dont have a stomach anymore. Hopefully this will help her with the other problem that i cant spell with her knees and her ankles and the really bad pain. I'm thinking about how im going to get up there. kirk works thursday. so he cant take me. grandparents are leaving at 7am but if i go with them i would have to pressure them to be back in time for me to get kirk up for work. that would be bad. i dont wanna have to make them come back before they are ready. Kirk and i may just have to go up on the weekend. I hope she understands. i dont want to over whelm her with people on a day when she is probably going to be stressed anyways. 

Anyways so i have taken up yet another hobby. Flowers! it all started with this $1 little green shrub looking thing at wal mart that didnt look like it could be easily killed. I'm always looking for ways to make the house look better since i dont want to put anything into the lot that we would have to leave when we left. So i bring it home water it and stick it in my kitchen window....and forget about it. About a week later i remember and check on it and it's this pretty pink flower thing! Lo and behold i had picked up a hyacinth. It is still doing well and now has three other window mates. All of them hyacinths. I now have 1 pink, 2 blue and 1 white. They are all doing well. Only the pink one has bloomed to date but i am looking forward to the other ones. Especially the blue.

Saturday March 21, 2009 i fell in love. Kirk and i were at wal mart and for once the had a wii fit. Kirk and i debated for a while as i was wanting "Twilight" since it had just come out on dvd that day. He said i could have one or the other. Where's the fun in that? I decided to go with the wii fit hoping that maybe at the least it would be something new to do and at the most that it will help me lose some weight that lovely birth control and an addiction to pizza rolls has put on. Well im over at my friend sam's and her husband and i start playing with this thing and i just cant quit! its so much fun! Who would have thought that a 280 lb person would be saying that exercise is fun?! well currently i am regretting the hours of hula hooping and running in place and balancing board activities as my calves are mutinying my every movement. lol. i will get it all worked out soon though. 

Anyways. Kirk and i are thinking of going to Richmond so im gonna go now. Bye!
