As some of you regulars should know, I am a personal fitness trainer by day. I put in many hours a week, EVERY day, yes 7 days a week, with my clients working on getting them to change their lifestyle. I only have the control of an hour to do this in.
When I found the link to Stonehawk I was beyond impressed. A rehab center that is geared around getting the toxins out of the body naturally and that wanted to use fitness and diet in that process? WOW, sign me up to teach classes.
I come from a long line of people that have killed themselves with drugs and alcohol. I also have quite a line of those that are killing themselves with food. I put them in a similiar catagory, though not as easily tragic as the drugs and alcohol of course.
If you are in need of drug detox please call and check out this natural approach. Yes, I am from Washington state, but I don't hug trees. Neither do I expect others to hug trees. lol But a natural approach to change will be much better on your system. Mix the mental with the physical. If you are in need of clicking the link, you understand how much you need both.
I encourage you to check out Stone Hawkdrug detox center. Please call 1-888-227-9193, download an info pack, or just start by reading some of the articles on the site. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
If you are in a transition period, please do email me to chat. littlescrapbookshop@gmail.com. Put "I'm a blogger" in the subject line so I don't delete it. ;) I'm not certified to help you with these hard issues, but I am here to listen while you make your major decision towards help.
Did I mention how beautiful this place is? It looks straight out of 28 days. Anyone else in love with Viggo Mortensen? Well if he can break it, so can you.
Honestly though, if you feel that this is something that you may need, then please do contact them. They have many ways to get ahold of them with the toll-free 1-888-227-9193, the contact form on the site or the downloadable info. Please do give them a chat if you think you "may" have a problem. It's much better safe than sorry baby!

Fireman Graduation
Well 10 weeks is done for hubby. The first 3 weeks went by so slowly. But the last 7 have gone by much quicker. Absence did make the heart grow fonder in my case. I love him dearly already, but man did I treasure the time we had together on the weekends. Which wasn't that much since he spent a lot of it studying.
Which I'm glad he did. He bumped up to graduating #6 out of 34 as of the last test. There is still one test not graded (no worries he about him passing it) and I'm not sure if it counts towards their placement in the class or not. This was the man that told everyone he would need a ton of help on the book work. He lacks confidence and sometimes it pisses me off.
I know this is why we are soul-mates for lack of an uncheesy term. We honestly do complete each other. I'm a bitch and he's mellow. He is underconfident and I have an abundance of it. lol I tend to get fired up immediately about things and he can sit back and analyze it with less emotion. That last one may be a female/male thing, not sure. :) All I know is it made me laugh thinking about it today after I knew he had completed the last of the tests. I realized that I had done this same talk while he was away at college. I was still in high school and talking him through it all over the phone.
But I'm incredibly proud of him. I can't wait to get up to the academy with the kids in the morning and meet all of these people I've heard about for the last 10 weeks. Especially all of the Capt.'s that have really inspired him to work even harder.
We were going to go to vegas and that would be our anniversary trip and also his graduation present. But then we decided better of it. Of course by this time it is way too late to be getting anything that has actual meaning for his gift. ARGH! Dawned on my Monday that I had nothing to give him at all and that didn't sit well. So I decided to hit the store I bought his Vanmark Fire Dept. figurines this morning in hope that that was where I actually bought them last time. It sure was the place, but they haven't carried them in 2 years at least and had no idea where else might. She didn't think they were even made anymore. AHHHH, not cool. So I went to hallmark and racked my brain for where I'd seen them before. I really hate to have to leave our hill. The other hill is so damn busy.
Hallmark had the name of another store to give a call and that would have been my next hit. But for somereason it dawned on me that I had seen them at a little jewelry store when I took my neighbor there a couple of times. Sure enough, not only did they have 1 of the figurines. But it is the one I REALLY wanted. Unseen Guardian has been out for quite some time now. At least 3 or 4 years. That is about how long ago it was I bought the other figures. lol So I was happy to see it was the one that I knew hubby liked. Now the price on that site is only half of what I paid for. Let me remind you that these are collectibles and are numbered. So the numbers are quite high now over the years. I bought 1/0001. Yep, close to tears. It's 1/0001. How is that for significance for his graduation? Solidifies my ideal that if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. How else could 1/0001 be here in the small jewelers in Bonney Lake? Oh, while I was there, I did put my wish list in for rings. bahahaha Read above, I told you I was a bitch.
K, this post got super long, sorry about that. I'll post more tomorrow night after meeting everyone. He was supposed to call me tonight after they got back, but no surprise he didn't. Only 14 more hours until I get to see him again and then another 24 until he's home for good. YIPPEEE, let life begin anew!
Please remind me to go to this post when his work schedule is driving me crazy and he's in my space.

Zune revisited
K, I'm gonna revisit Zune . I have one client that her husband has the zune. So she took borrowed it, so we could visit the "community" on the damn thing! I thought if we went to see if each of us were online, then we could freely pass whatever songs between each other. Well not quite. You can pass it all. But one person has to decide what songs they want to "send". Hard to do on treadmill. lmao]
Then I read, and yes hubby already told me this. SO WHAT!!? That not only can you only share for 3 days, but it's only 3 listens as well. WTF? That's really not worth the work unless it's some new band that no one has heard. lmao So now it will be the battle of the new bands. :) Joy and I are up for it. We are competive that way. It's her hubby's zune and she has said his music is closer to mine. Yeah, yada yada. I'm used to mostly guys listeneing to my music. Whateva!
And it sounds like I hate the Zune but I love it! I'm so glad that I have the zune and not the lame ass Ipod Nano that hubby has. I'm just ticked that I spent $20 on music choices right before he bought me it for our anniversary.
But I do know that he can buy. This is the best thing on the market. I can listen to my favorite morning and evening radio teams. WWW.KISW.COM, yes check them out online cause they are worth it. I promise, you will laugh your ass off. But I can also listen to my music the other times that I don't like the dj's as much. lol Which is not easy, as all the dj's are awesome. Believe me, we have partied with them. lmao JOLENE is hot! Check her out.
So check out the Zune. I am going to join the monthly subscription, just because I listen so long to the stuff. I figure I can keep a good update going on new music.
Listen often to get new music. I'll be all over it. Combine myspace with Zune and I'll have the latest incredible music.

I love her to death and she even went to school out here on the west coast. She needs to move back here, but we just need to move hubby's job here too. Then it will be all good. lmao

Single
I've never been single. I don't do well single for very long. Yes, I hit the huge anniversary of being with my hubby 1/2 of my life, but it is so much more than that.
Just a disclaimer: I am not wishing things were different, they are what they happily are. But sometimes it is difficult that I haven't experienced things.
I have never lived alone. I went from living with my parents to living with hubby. I go back and forth now that I can have all of them away at the same time. Mostly guilt comes in and I don't get any sleep.
Loneliness sucks. I've never had the physical loneliness. I have had many a lonely night, but not from being alone too long. Just from shutting myself off emotionally.
Well I was ready to type more. But I am up alone at 3am and this is exactly what I'm talking about. I miss my HUBBY!!! 1 1/2 more weeks and we can get into a more normal groove. It's spring break and the kids went to their friends house. I am up to get my hair done early tomorrow. So off to bed for me!

Hmm, what city?
I'm proud to have gotten this rating on the first time through. I figured I'd get Seattle right off the bat. But maybe that wasn't one of the options. lol
| You Are Las Vegas |
 Wild and uninhibited, you enjoy all of life's vices. You're a total hedonist, especially with sex, gambling, and drinking. You shine brightly every night, but you do the ultimate walk of shame each morning. Famous Las Vegas residents: Wayne Newton, Howard Hughes, Penn & Teller, Siegfried & Roy |
Rock girl gala
Well I am going to miss this years gala. I'm super, uper bummed about it. But alas, it can't be helped. Hubby and I haven't gotten away together in over 2 years now because of our schooling and we have to do it. Of course, once we plan our weekend, www.kisw.com plans the rock girl gala. FUCKERS!
Then, to make matters worse, they bring in Puddle of Mud as the headliner. Hmm, is it worth the argument? Hmm, is it worth me replanning and fighting? May be. That was one of the first cd's the kids bought me for a gift and they aren't very old. lmao They were really young when they told Daddy that I wanted that cd. lol They are such good kids!
So I will miss the gala. Yes, I will. It will be ok. I will pout on here and I will seriously bitch after I have to hear about it from the dj's. But alas. I am running away for a naked weekend with my hubby. Nothing but shopping and wine tasting. I just want the best of both worlds. But I'll pick him anyday. ;)

Fell of the blog universe
Yet again! It's amazing how that happens. I can go for weeks on end of posts every day or every other, then there comes a time I'm barely able to get on here. I hate that! I'd be happy posting every day. But life is good busy. The only downfall is that I need a laptop in a super bad way. SO if you have recommendations, please let me know. I applied for a biz load through dell and that was a joke. Umm, no thanks on the 29% interest rate. I know my biz has no credit, but come on! It's been in biz for 4 years now, that should count for something.
But anyway on to the topic of laptops. I have to have one immediately. I am getting busier at work and that is awesome. Unfortunately that doesn't leave me much time to get on here when I get home. Especially since my herbalist has told me I need to sleep. WHAT? 5 hours a night isn't enough? What is she thinking? So I feel better because I'm getting sleep, but I'm not getting enough done. Laptop will let me get it done in between clients at work. ;)
So what else is happening in my life? Hubby has only 2 weeks left of school. Man, that never seemed like it would end. I'm super excited for him. But now he will be home so much more. AHHHHH, worse than the kids! See, I must have a laptop so I can hide at work.
This week is spring break, but I still have a lot to catch up on. SO hopefully I can get it all done. I really need to spend more time at the gym to get a few more clients. But I also hate to take advantage of my Mom for the week. Stupid guilt!
