I wanna take a ride on your disco stick…

Your challenge for today my lovelies is to find a way to help ME explain to my two (lady) ga-ga daugters what "riding on a disco stick" is all about. I can’t seem to get them to stop singing the infernal song and there have been more than a few eyebrows raised as they jump and hop merrily through one store or another giggling and singing…
I tried the "shhhhhh, some people might think its rude…" and got the "BUT WHHHYYYYYYYYY?" in return.

*gives up*

If they play it on the radio it must be ok… hahahahahahaha.

So this past couple of days we took a roadtrip to gorgeous Colorado to see where we’ll be living and I gotta say it ain’t too shabby. Colorado Springs is just lovely and I’m sure I’ll be very happy there. We found a cute little house in a new neighbourhood, brand new build so it’s really nice and it’s right near pikes peak so we have the view of the mountains. The master bedroom has a balcony so we can sit out on the nice mornings and marvel at the gorgeousness of it all. Being only 20 minutes from Cheyenne mountains and various other natural wonders it really is magnificent. It’s also some 6000 ft above sea level so it should work wonders for my asthma.

We’re back in kansas now though – giggles. It’s not bad here but it’s clear that there are a lot of families that are rather envious of our new post. As far as Army stations go, you kinda luck-in when you get to go to Fort Carson.

Yesterday and today we’re helping another family move. Given that I’m already partially packing up this house, I’m sorta in the moving groove. Holly and Oliver (Jimmy’s kids) get here tomorrow for 6 weeks which will be lovely, My gym membership has expired now which makes me kinda sad but there is no point extending it because we leave for Oklahoma and Texas next week and we’ll be gone for about 3 weeks. By the time we get home there’ll be 10 days before we move… So I’ll wait till I get to Colorado to re-join somewhere else. In the meantime immy and I are giving the Kettlebell workout a go. He needs to tone up and lose another 20 pounds or so and, well, I still have a ways to go but the weight is moving slowly.

Oh oh oh bitch face is about to be served with the divorce summons. The lawyers sent us an email asking for a description of her and the car she drives. Apparently they have to physically serve her and from that point she has 20 days to respond, if she doesn’t then the judgement of divorce gets lodged! Now I don’t know how long it takes for the decree to get back to us after that point but I’m just hoping it’s before my damn visa expires. Still some reasons to stress but we’re trying to stay optimistic.

Oooops, the kids are fighting so tis time to make some breakfast and get moving!!!!

I am glad they’re getting the ball rolling with the divorce. I hope it all comes through in time. She’ll hate it! Sucked in to her! Stupid mole. Love you Vee. Will send you an email this week šŸ™‚

Oh no…disco stick…bad times. I don’t know, maybe tell them it’s like riding the white horse or something to do with drugs. Who knows. Good to hear the news about nasty-lady. It’s about time!

June 19, 2009

hehehe oh Lady GaGa has a lot to answer for! I remember hearing kids singing that lady lumps song in the shops once, very amusing! There is a remix of that disco song featuring Marilyn Manson. Maybe that would scare them off the song? xxx

Eek! How do you explain that it is not appropriate? I would go with the “It’s an adult term” or something along those lines. Just like with cuss words or alcohol. That is something for adults. Not sure if it would work but it’s worth a try! I’m so excited that you guys found a place. It sounds lovely. yes, Colorado definitely has it’s perks and I can’t wait to have you but an hour-ish away!Oh the fun weekends we will have!!

June 20, 2009

yeah I would go with the “it’s an adult thing” and it is just as bad as saying swear words. Good luck with the divorce stuff!!!

did you get out of the car in colarado and say ‘we aren’t in Kansas anymore’ hahaha i would of

Your asthma should be better here than anywhere else. Thats bc the air is thinner here. Ft Carson is like 6500-6800 ft above sea level, depending on where you are on post. Just be careful of elevation sickness. I got it when we got here in December. I stayed in the bathroom for hours bc I was that sick.

sounds like it’s going smoothly though-at least for the most part. So excited for you getting out of the house and the move. THat’s awesome.

i’m a bit behind with recipes. Argh. I’ve been so busy. It’s halfway through my uni break and I haven’t even picked up a book Vee. But I’ll get to them. xx

July 13, 2009

went to email you some recipes last night and realised I only had your genetically modified address which I know you don’t really use anymore. Which one is best please?

July 20, 2009

I hope you found someplace lovely. I told my children a disc stick was like a stripper pole and they said “grossss” ha ha. I guess having boys who think girls have cooty’s is good for now!

You should maybe be moved in/moving in shortly, right? Squee! I’m sure it’s definitely beautiful out that way. Let’s hope Jimmy’s ex gets the papers and learns taht she has to move on as you are here to stay! Ashley
