Lord V and I are joining our friends and going on a Cruise! I have never been on one and I am beyond excited :D
I love adventure, new places, new sights, sounds, food...*sigh* I can't wait.
Whats especially cool about this cruise is two of the ports we are going to I had been to when I was on my Internship year in College.
One is San Juan, Puerto Rico. I plan on dragging Lord V and our friends to El Morro--the famous fort that over looks the ocean and other places in Old San Juan that I can (vaguely) remember from my stay there in 1984.
Another stop is St Thomas. I have never been there--but we are taking a sailboat from St Thomas over to Buck Island where we will dive off the boat and snorkel around the protected reef/garden. This was my favorite place to snorkel when I spent part of my Internship in St Croix.
I am so excited to be able to see my old haunts again. I didn't think I'd ever be back to these places. Funny how life has circled back for me...but in a fun way :)
Did I mention I'm excited?! :)
Chanda is too ;)

Coffee Dilemma!
I love Hazelnut creamer in my coffee.
I despise the taste of black coffee.
What does one do when faced with enough creamer for two bland cups of coffee or one really rich and deliciously hazelnut flavored coffee?
*pout*

Beach Trip
Thursday this past week--my weekend--began with a brilliant blue sky filled with the magical light of a surprise pre-Spring Sun.
"MiniWarrior" I called over my shoulder to the lanky 12 year old stretched out on the sofa in the family room, "Come here I want to talk to you about something."
"What I'd do?" He said, body taught, paused in full alert for an impending Mom lecture.
"Nothing. I just want to talk to you for a moment."
He climbed off the sofa and shuffled slowly towards me, trying to read the expression on my face. "Yeah, Mom?"
"How'd you like to skip school tomorrow and head to the beach." I said, holding back a smile at the wary look on his face.
Shadows disappeared as his grin scattered joy from his mouth and lit up his eyes. "For real? Really?"
"For real. Really."
"You're the best Mom, ever!" He exclaimed as he pumped a victorious fist.
Indeed. I am. ;)
As always, pictures of said event can be found here: akatseyeview

MiniWarrior~ism
Mom, I broke up with my girlfriend today.
MiniWarriors sat cross legged in the passenger seat of my truck, looking down at his tennis shoes struggling to shift his sad face into a stoic manly one.
You did? What happened?
Well, there is this boy in school who is my friend but my girlfriend doesn't like him and her friend doesn't like him so they are rude to him.
He glanced at me, frowning and shaking his head in disapproval.
That's just not nice. So today I said, "Why can't we just all get along. Why can't you be nice to Nicholas?"
My girlfriend got mad and got up and walked away from me.
I went after her but she kept running away from me. She told me that she wishes that I would just leave the school and not come back.
He stared down at his shoes again.
I told her that I didn't want to be her boyfriend anymore because she was being so rude.
He shot me a look to see if I was mad about his decision.
I lay a gentle hand on his knee.
I'm so proud of you. You stood up for your friend even though you knew your girlfriend wouldn't like it. That takes character, Son.
Character? He was puzzled by that word.
Yes. Character. It's what makes you a good person and what will make you into a great man. You stood by what you believed to be right and stood up for your friend.
Yes. He smiled and straightened his shoulders. Yes, I did, didn't I?
Yes you did and I couldn't be more proud.
I'm still feeling a little emotional, Mom about not being (girlfriends name) boyfriend anymore. He added quietly.
I know son. You made a hard choice. I'm so proud of you.
He smiled at me but his eyes were sad. We drove for awhile in silence.
Little boy freckles still dance across his nose but his shoulders are broadening molding his frame into a man.
My MiniWarrior is moving from Mini to Warrior.
My heart aches at the loss of the little boy but is soothed and filled with the sight of the wonderful man he is becoming.

This article is so...SO awesome. It's like being granted a peek inside my MiniWarriors mind.

Christmas Decorations Packed...
I am slowly entering into this new year, 2010.
I just packed up all the rest of our Christmas decorations for the year--including our tree!!
Take heart, my Peeps.
My disappearance from my Blog is par for the 2010 course.
Oh and big news??
MiniWarrior turned 12.
You heard me...
12.
I'm crawling back into my cave now until he turns back into the chubby legged toddler I remember.

I am...Slack-her!
Hi, my name is Haphazard Kat and I am...a slack-her.
My laundry is piling up.
My blog remains unposted.
I'm still in my PJ's and its 4pm.
My Christmas stuff is still up.
and for dinner tonight?
I threw chips on a pizza tray, baked them and set out fixings for Nachos.
Hey! I fried up hamburger for it!!
But served it all on paper plates so I didn't have to do dishes.
Yeah. I'm embracing this "do nothing unless it has to be done" New Years resolution with passion.
Well ok. Passion requires effort and that means work. So um yeah, I'm embracing it with a half hearted flick my nacho stained hand.
Good times.
Good times. ;)

Santa
I bought this inflatable Santa display for our Christmas party.
He is awesome!
The only thing?
He's supposed to be motion activated meaning when you walk by him he is supposed to start waving and spew out Santa phrases at you.
I set him up and walked by him...
nothing.
I waved my hand in front of his face...
nothing.
I jumped up and down waving my arms, wildly...
still nothing.
So out of frustration I socked him right in his fat Santa belly...
He immediately said, "I've checked my naughty list this year, and everyone was good!"
I about keeled over laughing then proceeded to punch him again and again...
and again...
He was a smash hit at our party. (pun intended)
Every time I walked by the living room I saw someone standing in front of him giving him a hearty belly punch while laughing manically.
Best year end therapy...ever.

Holiday Grandness and Exhaustion
How was every ones Christmas?
Lord V, MiniWarrior and I had a very nice, very sweet, very busy Christmas!
We finished off our Christmas holiday last night at a friends house which was filled with all of our family of friends.
We stayed up way too late eating Christmas leftovers and playing games--It was a great way to end the month long festivities!
We played a game called Apples? Then our group split where one group played Mexican Train (a domino game) while I and my friend and her daughter played the new board game "New Moon" that they had gotten as a Christmas present.
It was a bit confusing with the multiple strange rules and the fact that on half of the challenges you had to have seen the movie (which I haven't--yet--due to my stupid bout of Swine flu and Pneumonia--*shakes a fist at Murphy*)...but it was fun.
My girlfriend and I were total Cougars as we ooh'd and aw'd over the pictures on the playing cards of Jake and Edward--wrongness--I know...!!!! hehehehe
Best part of the night was when I miss read a challenge card to my friend while she was taking a sip of her Gin drink--causing her to choke and project the drink out of both nostrils like a flame shooting dragon!
Middle aged women with weak bladders should not be allowed to witness such things...
I'm just sayin'...
So yeah. Good times, as always.
I love our friends so very much and always have such a great time whenever we can get together.
Christmas Hello Kitty Loot this year?
Hello Kitty Panini maker
Hello Kitty Makeup mirror
Hello Kitty towel set
Hello Kitty Toothbrush holder
Hello Kitty dancing dolls
Hello Kitty tablecloth and (paper) dishes
Hello Kitty stickers
Hello Kitty notebook
I was spoiled with many beautiful gifts this year (XOXOXO to Lord V, MiniWarrior, family and friends).
Favorite present this year?
A new lens for Chanda!!!
It has a 15-85 lens with standard,wide angle AND Macro functions.
The first picture I took with it was in a half lit room with sunlight piercing through a window behind the people in the shot.
When I viewed the shot on the camera screen lets just say I needed a private room and a post privacy cigarette...
*wink*
The lens illuminated the people I was focusing on and muted the harsher spears of light behind them. No shadows, no false yellow from poor light...nothing but crisp clarity.
Unbelievable.
I cannot wait to take it out and see what it can all do!!
Thank you, my Lord V and--so you don't mock me for mooning over every gift other then the jewelry you bought me...
I love them. Very very much and cannot wait to wear them.
Especially while out taking fabulous pics with Chanda's new lens!!
Hehehehe :D

Christmas Ships on Columbia River
At our Christmas party on Tuesday, we were very excited when the Christmas ships paused, on their way to their scheduled tour at Steamboat Landing, to circle in front of our house, showing off their decorated ships.
We yelled and cheered and flashed our house lights at them in exuberant appreciation for their kindness. It totally made our night!
This evening MiniWarrior, Lord V and I watched Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer slurping on gigantic candy canes.
After the show we looked up to see the Christmas Ships were on the river circling in front of our house again!
We yelled "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and flashed the house lights at them, so excited that they have been so sweet to put our house on their list of places to show off their decorated boats!
Totally cool. Totally awesome!
To those kind souls who circled our house, THANK YOU!!! We LOVE your decorated boats and plan our Christmas party around you, filling our home with excited friends who love and appreciate your efforts very, very much!

Facebook Cult has kidnapped me!
I realized this week that I hadn't been to my blogger home in a couple of weeks!
Why you ask?
One word.
FACEBOOK!
Yes. *hangs head* I have joined the cult that is Facebook.
I resisted because really--why would I join all the lemmings that have flung themselves off the blog cliff into Facebook land?
I was snobby. I turned my nose at Facebook lemmings heartily refusing to even think about joining.
Then. It happened.
My brother was notified by gradeschool classmates of mine who were seeking me out.
Then, college friends hounded me with their offers of "join facebook and see how we all look like now!" requests.
And? Really. The allure to see what everyone looks like after 30 years was too tempting to resist.
So. I joined.
"Just to see the pictures and then I'd delete my account" I assured myself.
Then I got game requests from friends whom I had added so I could see their pictures.
I clicked on one game. An amusing little game called FARMVILLE.
You can plant and grow your crops...buy or receive animals from other farming friends, buy houses...
Suddenly I found myself logging in compulsively to see how my crops were growing. Or if someone had found a stray animal on their farm that I could adopt for my farm.
Then...the fish tank game invites came and I thought...well...I'll join that game and feed my fish while waiting for my crops to grow...
Yeah.
3 fish tanks, a Kats Chow Cafe, a farm, a Zoo a pet at petville that is like a virtual Hello kitty who's house you can decorate...and another pet app where I feed and care for 4 cats...oh and Vampire wars and some sort of Harry Potter Wizard war game later and....
Facebook now owns my soul.
*sigh*
What little time I do have left is spent working and planning mega Christmas parties.
One which is tonight at our home. It's Christmas Ship party time!!
And tomorrow is our work Christmas party which I've been working along side my boss in helping arrange and organize as well as zooming out and gathering swell door prizes. YAY!
I've been trying to take it easy as I'm still getting over the pneumonia plague but really people, I ain't got time to lay around!
Speaking of...*peers at my watch* I gotta run. My fish on Fishville need feeding or they'll go belly up.
Oh sure. Mock me! But I'm tellin' you, I've invested time and click energy feeding those bastards so I can harvest them for experience points and gold...so I can buy more fish which I can feed and clean up after so I can harvest them for experience points and gold which then I can buy more fish so I can...
Oh god.
Someone. Help me!
and by help? I mean join Facebook so you can be my neighbor so I can expand my farm so I can grow more crops and get more experience points and...
Seriously.
Help.
Me...

ACK!!!
So, yesterday Lord V and I stopped at a Sonic Drive In (fast food joint for those who do not know what Sonic is).
It's new to our area and we had yet to try it even though we'd been bombarded with Sonic commercials for the past 3 years!
I was driving my truck which required a bit of tricky maneuvering to pull into the tiny drive in slot. (Remember those? A&W used to have them)
mmmm A&W
*blink*
Anyways...as I was sayin'...
I pulled into the drive in slot right next to the little menu. We perused it for a bit waiting for someone to come out and take our order when I spied the red button by a speaker on the board.
DOH!
I reached out to push it but alas, I was too short so I had to open my door and lean one leg out of my truck to be able to reach the button to place our order.
"Get me a Recess Pieces shake" Lord V called to me.
I stretched, pushed the button and leaning as close to the little speaker as possible I yelled...
"I'd like a large Recess Penis Shake!"
Then froze in horror as my brain rewound what I had just yelled, then promptly fell in to a fit of giggles that would have done a 12 year old girl proud.
Yeah.
I'm back, my Peeps.
I'm. Back.

And....I'm Back!
After much sleep and much lazing on the sofa--I have recooperated enough to rejoin society :)
I went for a checkup on Wednesday, was given more pain pills (woo!) for the headaches that still plague me and an inhaler for when I grow winded from my ailing lungs having to work overtime.
I have been pounding the internet stores getting my Christmas shopping done. I've gotten quite far and found some really cool stuff!
Today Lord V and I ventured out and did some more shopping.
We came home after picking MiniWarrior up from school and I became consumed with the need to get my Christmas village up.
It is done--except for the fake snow that I must still buy to drizzle over everything--and then it will be complete!!
Wait...I'll take a quick pic of it with my iPhone.
Hang on..brb...
Ok I'm back. Miss me? ...
Here ya go.
Ooooooo!
Ohhhhhhhhh!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Ok one more...
Gabby Abby attacking the Christmas Cat :)
So. There ya go.
Aren't you glad I'm feelin' better?
*grin*

I Think I shall (yet) Live...
Two days of confinement have passed and I do not yet strain at my tethers.
A true sign of being very ill, to be sure.
Thank you all for your well wishes.
I do, indeed, feel much better although still very fragile.
I've learned I cannot walk and talk at the same time.
Well I say "walk" when I really mean the thing I do when shuffling my slipper clad feet across the floor from my bedroom to the bathroom and on to the sofa.
I do believe the week I spent with EWO took something vital out of me and this is my minds way of making myself lay quietly and repair the marks she lay open inside of me.
I cannot continue to do this.
I made a vow that I will not ever attend to her again for that amount of time without having a safe haven to retreat to.
In my home I can turn my face into Lord V's and my friends embraces to hide, and revitalize and re-engergize.
I am no longer the "tough" person I had to be to survive growing up.
Being surrounded by loving friends both in blogland, my clan of friends close by me and my Lord V and our sweet little family--I have gentled and can no longer fling up the iron barriers against the ugliness that was my past.
Tis a good thing. A wonderous thing.
And something that I must teach myself to keep around me at all times instead of trying to face things alone.
And I thank you. All. For this amazing gift.
A true sign of being very ill, to be sure.
Thank you all for your well wishes.
I do, indeed, feel much better although still very fragile.
I've learned I cannot walk and talk at the same time.
Well I say "walk" when I really mean the thing I do when shuffling my slipper clad feet across the floor from my bedroom to the bathroom and on to the sofa.
I do believe the week I spent with EWO took something vital out of me and this is my minds way of making myself lay quietly and repair the marks she lay open inside of me.
I cannot continue to do this.
I made a vow that I will not ever attend to her again for that amount of time without having a safe haven to retreat to.
