Who Knows Land

BLAH!! FREAKING MONDAY!!

2012-02-13T14:38:00.001-06:00

I worked muscles in my body I didn't know I had yesterday. We had to dig up our pool lines to make sure we knew where they were so we could get a ditch witch in and put in some french drains. Ugh.... THAT my friend was not fun. We were shoveling dirt till dark in the cold. We successfully found the lines and did not bust any pipes in the process, so that's a plus.

We went and ate with some friends Saturday night. After we got home, we were flipping through the channels and watched Boogie Nights. WOW!! How have I never seen that movie before??

Mark Wahlberg plops out his dick and it's completely obvious it's a 13" rubber fake. Quite entertaining.

Itunes has a special $6.99 for some albums. I just downloaded the Coldplay album. I would have just bought the Paradise song, but for $5 more, I'll take all 14 songs.

All my husband wants for Vday is chocolate covered strawberries. I wet to the bakery to buy some and they were out. I'll just make them myself. Melt chocolate and dip. Can't be too hard.

He keeps asking me what I want but I have no idea. We usually just get each other a card and write 10 things we love about each other. Sounds sappy, but hell it's cheap so shut it.

I could not watch the news this morning for more than 5 minutes at a time with out them mentioning or celebrating the life of Whitney Houston. The horse is dead, quit beating it.

This will go on for a couple weeks, die down, and then will flair back up when the autopsy results come in.

While I'm on the subject, why the hell do people rush to itunes to download music that has been there all along and will stay there. Just cause the person dies people all the sudden want to listen to the music?? I don't get it.

I bet strawberries have doubled in price since last week when I bough them, all because of Vday.

I need some new running shoes. Has anybody bought any Reebok Zigs?

Glad that is over.

2012-02-03T13:15:00.000-06:00

Finally found out what killed one of my best friends last October.
Does the autopsy results give anybody closure? No.
I thought that it would, but it doesn't really make me feel any different about the situation.
Landscaping is going to be a bitch.
We got two estimates for sprinkler systems for the front and back yard. $5,500.00.
We are going to ~~attempt~~ do it ourselves.
Hopefully the costs of supplies will be less than $2,500.00.
Work. Work. Work.
I tried Google+. I wasn't impressed.
We just found out one of our neighbors has colon cancer I think he might be 40. It is pretty bad. No insurance. He can't work, the wife has no job.
She is trying to apply for food stamps.
They have three kids.
Sad situation, but I think we can all band together to keep their bellies full, or at least try.
I'm going to check out a tanning bed today. It's a 1997 bed, but the seller says it's in good condition and works well. She wants $500 for it. I'm skeptical, but I'm going in half's with my sister so I would be making a $250.00 mistake if all else fails. I'm going to go look at it first.
I'm turning 30 in a few weeks and we are selling our stripper pole/stage.
The pole was fun while it lasted. In all the time we had it we only had one incident in which someone went to the ER.
Drunk + Pole + 2 1/2 ft. drop = Broken collar bone.
No it was not me.
Both of my nephews can text me and facetime me from their own Itouch, and I love it.
I'm off and out.
peace.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

- Yeh I know it's late, but who cares.
- So, it's Friday and I'm super excited cause that means at 5:00 p.m. the WEEKEND is here.
- I prefer the weather to be warmer, but the last few days has been SO much better than the last few weeks.
- Today would be a good day to go golfing.
- We are going to have to buy grass for the back yard. I'm on the fence on what to get, but we will probably end up buying Bermuda grass. This spring will be busy and costly with landscaping around our brand new pool. BUT, it will look nice when it's done.
- I wanted to go back to Mexico this summer but Jessie informed me Mexico is in our own backyard this year and we need to spend the money we would spend on vacation on landscaping. It's hard to argue with that.
- So, I was just thinking about taking a week off in the summer, hiring a servant/house keeper and being a bump on a log on my back patio by the pool as if it were Mexico.
- BUT in reality I will probably take a week off to work my ass off in our yard.
- I just joined Google +
- It reminds me of facebook, kind of.
- I turn 30 next month. I'm kind of freaking. I will be leaving my 20's....
- We sure have enjoyed our hot tub the past few months. We will probably crank it up tonight and enjoy some drinks.
- I don't understand Pininterest.
- I had a dream last night my sister shaved her head. The family freaked out like the media freaked out when Britney shaved hers. It was weird.
- People who act like their life is perfect probably live in their own personal hell hole.
- My life is far from perfect, but that's what I like about it.
- I really like Pandora Radio.
- I went out of my normal zone and bought 2 apps, and 1 song in a week. Holy shit!
- I'm a tight ass, there I said it.
- My one wish for my birthday?? CRAWFISH!! I'm talking 100 pounds flown in from New Orleans. (Make it happen... make it happen... fingers crossed.)
- Jessie's Dad is from New Orleans and promises to fly me 100 pounds of crawfish for my party. We shall see. I know he can get them. Hell he will probably be the one that catches them. BUT, sometimes he falls short of following through.
- We haven't got crawfish in over 4 years because the price is ridiculous for Live crawfish, and we always cook them ourselves because my husband has Ragin' Cajun blood running through his veins and that man knows how to cook some crawfish.
- We always spend Easter at his grandparent house in New Orleans and we always buy about 100 pounds of crawfish and 25 pounds of shrimp and just pig out all day.
- Hey, at least it's straight protein ad no carbs!
- Here is a pic from last Easter: That's from one of many pots.

- I'm making myself hungry.

- That's all I got today. Gotta get back to work.
- peace

Just some thoughts...

2011-12-27T11:20:00.000-06:00

I think this is my favorite gift of all my gifts this year. One of my dear friends made this for me. Every letter represents someone I have lost in my life. This was therapeutic for her, because the A, represents her own daughter we lost in October. Thank you Wendy.

S - Sharon Leewright - Aunt
Sharon was a beautiful person inside and out. She was taken way too soon from a very rare disease, scaladerma.

E - Evelyn Edwards - Aunt
There are no words to explain to you what a kind hearted, loving person my Aunt Eve was. Cancer took her from us and now she is in heaven. She was definitely one of a kind.
G - Grant Edwards - Cousin
If you read my blog you will know the story of how we lost Grant, but if you are new, he died on HWY 380 between Decatur and Denton on his way home. They think he fell asleep at the wheel. Hit a truck head on. He died instantly. He left behind a baby boy, that was only a few months old. He was always a dare devil, and is greatly missed. He died the day before my birthday.

A - Ashlie Wright - Best Friend
We lost Ashlie on October 16th. She died from a aneurysm. She is proof that when God wants you, he will take you. She was fine one minute, gone the next. She was truly a one of a kind best friend. I miss her so much, and I suppose I always will. she left behind a five month old baby.

All four were gone way too soon.
RIP

On a lighter note, my wonderful father made this for Jessie and I:

I was sick almost the whole Christmas vacation. I suspect food poisoning. I wanted to crawl in a hole and die Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, but luckily I felt better by Christmas night. Nothing worse than needing to shit and puke at the same time. Not afraid to tell ya, it was BAD!

Other than that, my vacation was great. Jessie and I took the pool cover off the pool yesterday to clean out the leafs that had fallen in between the water fall and pool. We are going to have to n-rigg something up tonight to try and keep the leafs from flying in.

OH!! Funny story:

Jessie and I bought the boys Guini Pigs for Christmas without asking their parents first. I know it's cruel and mean, but the look on their faces when we showed the boys their last Christmas present was PRICELESS!!

Isn't JJ cute??

The boys should have fun with them, I hope. They were both suppose to be males, (so the pet store guy says), come to find out they have different parts. Cazen chose the "bigger guini pig", which we later found out is in fact a girl. She's probably pregnant!! HA HA HA!! I think my sister might just kill me. Let's just say I won't be surprised if a box shows up on my door and their is a bunch of baby guini pigs.

I want to buy a gas/charcoal grill for the backyard. I guess I need to do some research and see if they is even possible. I can't wait till this spring/summer to use our pool and enjoy all the hard work we put into our backyard.

I only have to work 3 days this week, so hello 4 day weekend all over again. I'm pumped!

I had a crazy idea about jumping a plane to Cancun for the 4 day weekend, but I'm sure that would be WAY over our price range, but man that would be fun.

Happy Friday

2011-12-16T12:22:00.003-06:00

- So, I haven't blogged in a while. I didn't want to even put my Christmas tree up this year, but finally did.
- I am not one to get depressed but losing Ashlie unexpectedly has put a gloom over the holiday season for everyone.
- The weather doesn't help either. I hate cold weather.
- I am ready for Christmas. We have decided not to buy Christmas for each other this year so we can buy a new grill for the back porch. Our grill is almost burnt out of the bottom.
- I have to go to the House of Blades today to finish up my Christmas shopping.
- The presents under my tree look a little lonely. Everyone got gift cards this year except the boys.
- My sisters took them to get their pictures done this week.

- Don't let their precious faces fool you. They are a handful, but I love them so much.
- I draw legal documents all day and have done Will after Will, but there is something creepy about drafting your own will.
- Everybody should have a Will. If you own a home, have kids, married or not. It is more important than anybody realizes. If you have the money, get one drawn up.
- I didn't realize it but if hubby and I died at the same time, 1/2 our shit would go to my parents and 1/2 to his parents.
- Trust me, that does not need to happen.
- OK didn't mean to go off about Wills but I think people only think about older people needing one. Think about this... What would happen to your kids, your house, your car, etc.

Anyways, Happy Holiday, everyone and have a safe and Happy New Year!

Reality Check

2011-10-27T12:15:00.002-05:00

Please, please, please, if you do anything today call and tell the people you love, that you love them.

We had the golf benefit Saturday, October 15th for my brother in laws nephew. Oh how our world would change that day. I was texting Ashlie, one of my best friends and my neighbor of 15 years. Her and her husband were going to come over and hang out that night. They had went to Ranch Bash in Fort Worth and were on their way home. Ashlie said she wasn't feeling well. She laid her head down in the truck, and fell asleep. Ronnie got her home and tried to wake her up with no response from her, he called an ambulance and they care flighted her to Harris Hospital. By the time we got to see her, she was gone.
No brain activity... She is gone ... They pronounced her deceased an October 16th at 7:27 p.m.
I was fortunate enough to see her and to say goodbye to her, but it wasn't the same. I was saying goodbye to a best friend, and I could tell she was no longer there.
How could this happen? I was texting her hours before this and she was perfectly fine???
They tell us it was a intracerrebral brain hemorrhage. It can happen to anybody, out of the blue, for no reason at all. Ashlie had just had a baby girl named Brenlie. Brenlie is only 5 months old. My heart breaks for her family, Ronnie and their baby.
All I know to do is let Brenlie know everyday how special, kind hearted, generous and loving her mother was. My heart still aches because I want to ask God why, but my faith tells me there is a reason for everything. Ashlie was a organ donor and saved 12 peoples lives. 12 people!! One of which was a child at Cooks Children, right next store who had been in the hospital for months waiting on a kidney transplant. I guess Ash was his parents angel. While they received an angel, we lost one. I urge you to become an organ donor, if you are not already. The donor organization allows the patient to recover for a year before Ashlie's family can meet the recipient. I believe this will be a great help in the healing process. In the mean time, we have Brenlie. And she is a piece of Ashlie.
So, please, please, please hug the ones you love and let them know you love them. We never know when our time on earth is through.

Rest in Peace Sweet Ashlie... I will see you again one day.

There will be a benefit for Ashlie on Saturday, November 5, 2011 from 2:00 p.m. - 11 p.m. at the Decatur Women's Building, in Decatur, Texas. After the Ranch radio station found out about what happen, almost all the bands that played that day signed a brand new guitar that will be auctioned off. There are also several bands that played at Ranch Bash that will be playing at the Benefit for Ash. I hope you can make it out and support a good cause.

- pool is done

I'm SO glad it's Friday

2011-08-19T10:19:00.002-05:00

- The backyard is coming along. I will post some more pics this weekend. The porch is completely stained and the post have been rocked.

- Well house has been rocked.

- Pool will be done hopefully "fingers crossed" on Tuesday.

- Decking is to be this weekend. I hope they pour it tomorrow.

- Work is work. I have about 10 foreclosures to do this week. major power down.

- My parents and sisters family are going to Port Aransas this weekend. I wish we could go but oh well.

- We have a deadline and we got to make it.

- Getting the back yard fence up will be bitter sweet. Sadie will not be aloud to be in the back yard. Ever.

- She cannot be in a confined fence. She will go crazy and I don't want her digging to try and stay cool. She's getting the boot to the front yard :(

- I hate it when you have two friends that have a petty argument and then can't work it out. It puts me in the middle automatically. Especially when the only time they see each other is at my house.

- That sux.

- If one more contractor tells me "I'm sorry but I didn't account for "blah blah blah", it's gonna be $900 more dollars" I'm going to scream.

- 3 people have done that too us. We can only "pad" a loan for so much people. That $700 here and $800 there are starting to add up.

-I'm hoping we can get locked in at a really rocking interests rate. Not bragging but we have excellent credit and I'm hoping to get in the 2 or 3%. We shall see.

- I can't decide if I want to stick to my guns about not planting grass until spring, but I'm sure my husband will do it anyways so I don't know why I even bother.

- He ask my opinion, but I'm not sure why.

- Shopping for new patio furniture is becoming a beating. It's expensive and it sucks!

I could buy a whole new living room set for what they want to sale that patio crap for.

- We found one we liked on Sams Club website, but it was over $1,000.00.

- We have a bunch of left over wood, probably $700.00 worth, in which our contractor said we went over. Anyways, the husband claims he is going to build a nice cedar table to match everything so all we need to buy is chairs. The chairs he wants are $364 each. YES, I said EACH!!

- ready to be done with this crap, but Lord am I grateful to be able to do it. Some people aren't. So as much of a pain as it is, it kind of makes you feel good to know how hard you are working for something that will be so beautiful when it's done.

- I'm try to help with a benefit golf tournament for my sisters brother in laws son. He dove into the lake off of a boat dock. It was dark. There was no water. The lake is drying up. He is paralyzed. He is 19, has one child and another on the way. This happened about a month ago and I was hesitant to write about it until I knew all the details. He survived, but he is paralyzed, on a ventilator and is only able to speak when they "release his bubble" not really sure what that means but it has something to do with the ventilator. He did not sustain any brain injury, but he broke his back and neck and severely injured his spinal cord. The doctors say with determination and hard work he might walk again. He has gained some feeling in his hand and can move them a little, but nothing on his legs. He is now in a advanced therapy hospital in Dallas. I think Baylor maybe? Anyways, we are going to put together a benefit golf tournament for him in October. If anybody knows anybody who would like to sponsor a hole or donate a prize, please let me know and I will forward the appropriate documents to you.

Yep we got a hole !

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

I almost cried when my favorite tree hit the ground ;(

2011-07-29T09:12:00.002-05:00

* Literally.... this was my favorite tree. We built our home around this tree. This tree was the biggest tree on our property. Unfortunately, it was standing where our pool will be ;( I hated to do it. But, there was no way around it. If we would have left it standing, it would have been a nuisance on the pool. I guess we could have built a lazy river around it, but I didn't see that being very practical.

* The guys doing our porch have managed to put a hole in our living room ceiling. Apparently the jack slipped while they were in the attic. Fortunately, Kip and his crew seem to be very honest down to earth people and will fix it before they finish the job.

* Day 2 of them there... I hear glass crashing to the floor in my dining area. One guy accidentally lifted a bored to far above his head, the results of which sent one of our globes from our chandelier above our table to the floor. No biggie, except we bought that chandelier because we loved it so much, but they have now been discontinued. Trey aren't normal clear globes. They are tan globes with white something-or-others in it.... Not sure how to explain it but I think I might have a hard time finding a new one.

* It could have been worse.

* I'm ready for shade in the back yard. This summer heat and no covered porch is wearing me out.

* I'm excited about our new additions to our house. I know pools are expensive and are a pain, but we have always wanted to be able to do what we are doing.

* We are very fortunate to be able to have what we have today. God has blessed us so much with great jobs, great neighbors and great family.

* Oh yeh, and I'm glad it is Friday. Now I gotta get to work on some documents for a closing this afternoon.

peace

FRIDAY!!

2011-07-22T09:19:00.001-05:00

* New Trailer for Dexter Season 6. I LOVE this show. I've been watching since Season 1.
* I also like Shameless It's a must see. I can't wait for Season 2.
* I will have to wait till October for those two shows.
* If anybody forgot I am a HUGE fan of Big Brother! I have the app, I watch Big Brother After Dark while I work out, it's ridiculous. This year they brought back Jeff and Jordan, my favorite duo. Unfortunately they also brought back Brendon and Rachel, who make me want to vomit in my mouth and scratch my eyes out. Rachel's voice makes me cringe. I. cant. stand. her.
* She won HOH last night. Kill me now. This week is going to suck with her prancing around the house. BARF!
* So... I smashed my middle finger in our shop door and I'm pretty sure there is no hope for my nail. It's black, it hurts and it's probably going to fall off.
* I have decided designing and deciding on a in ground pool is almost as complicated as building a house. You would think it would be a piece of cake. It's not.
* Oh, and take a Xanex before asking the cost to build one. Your going to need it.
* Sometimes it's just easier to go with my husbands opinion because if I don't he will use the next few hours analyzing as to why we need to do it his way. I'm not bitching, it's just an observation.
* I'm glad it is Friday, but man oh man, we's gots a lot of work to do around the house.
* I'll try and post pics of the backyard as they develop.
peace.

2011-07-06T15:31:00.003-05:00

So... I know everyone under the sun is talking about Casey Anthony trial and how she was found NOT guilty. I have to say, I was shocked! Now she will walk free and clear of any wrong doing for that poor child. I understand the jurors point of view in regards to the state evidence. There was no cause of death ruled and mostly the prosecutions case was that Casey Anthony is a lying no good shitty mother. You can't convict people of first degree murder because they are a scum bag. I want to know why she wasn't charged with dumping the body, but then again there was no really proof of that either. Point blank we have another OJ on our hands. Whether that child's death was intentional or an accident she tried to cover up, Casey Anthony still did wrong in handling it and should be punished for more than lying to a cop.

... Anyways, I gotta quit talking about that case, it's irritating.

* I hate getting up and working out in the morning, but really once I actually get up and get dressed, it's not so bad at all.
* I'm ready for another vacation.
* Patio furniture is ridiculously expensive. I could probably by a new kitchen table and chairs for what it's going to costs to get a nice set for outside!
* I always find myself longing for the weekend, but I love my job.
* My favorite apps on my Iphone is Words With Friends, Hanging With Friends and Zombie Farm. I like the news apps too, but that's just cause I'm a news freak.
* I wish I knew how to speak Spanish.
* I'm kind of getting sick of facebook, but I catch myself checking it several times a day.
* Something weird: The last month I keep getting blisters on my feet from running. First it was the back of my heels on both feet, then that healed and a few weeks later I got blister on the inside of the side of my foot. I got them on both feet exact same spot. (pic below)
* I could barely walk Saturday because of the pain. It was dried up by Sunday and I was good to go when I worked out this morning, although it's still red.
I just bought brand new Nikes, so that can't be the problem. WHAT TO DO??

2011-06-30T11:06:00.002-05:00

* SO... we have been trying to decide how are new back yard is going to look. I have been trying to dig up pics off the Internet to get a feel for it. The one above is just an idea. We are building onto our porch and adding a pool in the near future. The porch is suppose to be cedar with vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans, flood lights, speakers, the works. I can't wait. Our backyard is going to be so cool next spring.
* Anybody recommend a pool builder. There is only one in Decatur and I have not heard any first hand count of how they are. I am going to be picky on the pool builder because I have heard plenty of horror stories and I don't want us to go down that road.
* I love my job, I just got my 4th of July bonus. That will be a nice addition to our savings.
* I think we will be boating this weekend, but try and be out of there before the crazy people line up to watch the fireworks in Runaway Bay.
* While walking out of the house this morning to work out I saw a jack rabbit and two deer in our front yard. It was still dark outside, so I got a flash light to make sure I knew what I was looking at. I figures they would run off, but they just sat there and stared back at me.
* Rumor has it we have a cougar with cubs on the loose. Our neighbors has tracks in his yard around his pond.
* I think it's cool and scary all at the same time.
* When other people perform major PDA it grosses me out and makes me uncomfortable. I'm not talking holding hand and the occasional peck, I'm talking people that come hang out or you see at the store and they can't keep their tongues in their mouth. Am I weird?
* We go through a ton of paper plates.
* If someone calls my house or work and ask for the manager, I immediately hang up. That's the first sniff of a salesman.
* I still haven't got to see me new nephew and he is over a month old now. Hopefully we can work out a time, because I want to be as close to him as my other nephews.
* I gotta get back to work.
peace ;)

*Last week was amazing in Mexico. Good friends. Good drinks. Good times.
*This week, not so much... sucks...
*My husband is in a hearing (as I type) with the WCAD. Tax people stress me out. If we could sale our home for what they say it is worth, we would have sold it. It would be stupid to keep it.
urgghhhhh . . . .so stressful.
* Next year will be worse when we put a pool in.
* Even though we do well for ourselves, money stresses me out.
* I like the new Bad Meets Evil CD. No, I'm not black. I just LOVE EMINEM. I can't help it. I always have, always will.
* I am ghetto like that I guess.
* I really don't use twitter. I don't really like it. Why can't everyone use facebook. It's the same thing, kind of.
* I am the only lady in the office this week, which means I am SO busy. BUT, rather busy than bored so, I'll take it.
* We had a nice Fathers Day dinner steak and baked potato Sunday. I love it when all 10 of us can get together.
* My nephews are getting so big and smart. Makes me feel old.
* I want them to know they can talk to me about anything they want and not get in trouble. I have really been thinking about the drugs and alcohol in school and how I was afraid to talk to my parents about things like that. I definitely never would have approached my Aunts or Uncles about it. I want to be the adult they can confide in and feel safe in doing so.
* I worry about them. I know they are so young now, but you learn things quick in school.
* Do you know how much I learned when Cazen went through Kindergarten last year. And now he is about to start 1st grade?? Scary, let's just say that.
* I'm going to have to break down and mow this weekend.
* My grandparents 50th wedding anniversary is this weekend. I'm excited for them but they are not a typical couple. They have lived virtually in separate houses since I was a kid. They may live with each other 1/2 of the week. Not now... they just built a multi-million dollar home in Runaway Bay on the golf course and my Papa's making my Nana sale their house in Grapevine. They will now be co-habitating 24/7.... SCARY THOUGHT!! I hope they don't kill each other. Sounds crazy, I know. But it works for them. I think because they are getting older they have given in and decided one house for both will be enough.
* Don't you kind of wish you had a spare house to run to when things got stressful or you wanted to get away?? Yeh, not a bad problem to have.
* I am ready to go fishing.
* Did I mention Mexico was amazing??

I cannot even begin to imagine how scary this was for everyone who experianced it.

Friday Fun Day!

2011-05-20T11:02:00.004-05:00

Sadie lady aka only child after a hard night of partying with us ;)

I have a pretty fun filled weekend. We are going to Ft. Worth tomorrow for a 8 year old birthday party. They are going to have laser tag at the park outside. I am not sure how that is going to work since I have only played it at an actually laser tag place, but we will see.

Afterword me and the hubby are going shopping for vacation clothes. This my friends, is either going to go really good or really bad for me. My husband would rather spend $100.00 on a pair of pants, jeans, shorts, shirts whatever than to scope for sales. I am the complete opposite. I mean for goodness sakes my favorite store is ROSS because although you have to dig through a bunch of clothes you are rewarded in the end with all the bargains you found!! So, to be honest the only reason I have conned him into going is because my sister and brother in law are going to. I guess he figures him and the BIL can escape and let me and my sister shop the way we want then all meet up later in the day. We will see how that goes.

I think we are going to Grapevine Mills. I went there a couple weeks ago, but was only in there to go to the OAKLEY store, and I was back out the door.

Which by the way, I bought me my first pair of Oakley's for only $39.00!!!! I have never spent that much money on a pair of glasses. I haven't lost them yet "knock on wood".

Less than a month till vacation... eek!

Last year we went to Mexico and my phone bill went up $90.00 because I had to call home a couple times and texts messages. . . I called AT&T to put the phones on international text and cell phone for a week. It is going to costs around $65.00 to put the service on and they still charge you by the minute to make calls. WTF! The 65.00 would be prorated for only the time we used it, that is if I can remember to call the day we get back and cancel the add-ons.
Prorated will probably be around $21.00 for 10 days. I think I'm going to go ahead and get it. Anything is better than the bill I paid last year. I almost had a heart attack.

I graduated from Paralegal school! OK, I know it's not college, but I was proud of myself! I'm thinking about taking the exam to be listed with the State Bar.

As much as I enjoyed scuba diving I cannot partake in it anymore. Last year I went with hubby and my ear drum busted. I was miserable after that, but still had a good time. I have always had ear problems, and I am accident prone, so I better stay away from that this year.

I want to go parasailing but this scares the shit out of me.

I want to go to the market but this scares the shit out of me.

All in all it should be a good time. This will be our 5th trip to Cancun, 2nd the same resort.

I have a closing to get to, gotta go !
peace

SO GLAD IT'S $%&^@$ FRIDAY!!

2011-04-29T13:32:00.004-05:00

Mississippi Bridge

Royal Wedding overkill. So glad it is over.

I couldn't even watch the REAL news this morning, which really bugged me.

I have come to find that the news is like my coffee. It's the first thing I turn on in the monring and the last thing I turn off before going to work.

That makes me sound old.

The tornado that hit Alabama is horrific. I cannot imagine what those people went through. I was speechless at all of the videos and pictures.

What if it really is becoming the end of the world??

Our house taxes went up by $20,000.00!! I was SO PISSED!! Really??? $20,000.00!! If I could sale my house for what Wise Freaking County Appraisal District says it's worth I would be RICH! We are still fighting it, we will see what happens.

I have a bad headache, I just took something for it. Maybe it will go away soon.

I am hoping this time next year I can post a pic of our new inground pool!! I know they are a pain in the ass to keep up with but how cool is it going to be to lay in my OWN pool, in my OWN yard, however I want.

Playing the stock market is a little scary/exciting.

Enough for now, I have to get outta here.

2011-03-11T09:38:00.003-06:00

* So I just started parralegal school. I figured since I never successfully completed college and I have been in the legal profession for 11 years, I need to do something. It's only an 8 week program, the boss man paid for it, and although it's not law school, I will at least be able to legally title myself as a paralgel.

* I'm hoping the first week is the hardest because I have not been that stressed out in a long time. It's ALOT of reading, which I have absolutly no problem with. There is 2 graded quizzes each week. They are 20 questions, 30 minutes timed. Any amount over deduct point for your grade. Quizzes make up 60% of your grade, and so on and so on. My problem?? The book is sporatic (is that a word?) It's chopped up, I can't follow it. It is not written in terms people use to learn new terms! URGGGHHH!!!!!!!!! So frustrating. I have managed to make an 80 on both quizzez last week .

* On to other things before I work myself up into a tizzy again.

* I am beginning to think Charlie Sheen is off the drugs and that is his normal self off the drugs. I think it's sad but as I have always said, everybody loves to see a good train wreck.

* The tsubnami in Japan is the most heart breaking/facinating/raw video I think I have ever seen. It's almost too much to wrap your head around.

* I have been to the new Brookshires and I have to say I LOVE IT!! They are a little more expensive, but to have a variety of things, in my opinion, it is totally worth it. The produce section looked like a picture out of a magazine. I was impressed. It's so nice to be able to cook different things because you have a grocery store that sales a variety of food.

* The husband bought some tuna steaks from Brookshires, seasoned them with garlic, lemon pepper, and regular pepper, crizzled them with olive oil and baked at 350 for 20 minutes. It was SO good!

* Trying to get the internet hooked up at my house is SO stressful. I'm so frustrated with Century Link I thought about cancelling my home phone and everything. Unfortunetly they are the only house phone provider out my way. WTH????? Can you say monopoly? So frustrating!!

* We are leaving in June to go to Mexico and all I can think about now is a tsnami. I guess I would be dying happy.

* I am not at all worried about the violance in Mexico (knock on wood). We have decide dwe have been enough that we can pass up the gift shops for everyone suveniers and be comepletely guilt free about it. So, we go from airport to hotel and hotel to airport. Thats it. There is no need to go anywhere else.

* If we were to die I would hope they would save it for the ride to the airport when we go back home so we can at least enjoy the week. J/k!!

* My sister bought a $200 cow hide for their living room and her new german sheppard chewed a hole in it this morning. She hasn't had it a week. I had my concerens...

I gotta get back to work.

Happy Birthday Grant, we love you and miss you !!

Allow me to bitch...

2011-02-17T16:12:00.005-06:00

* What the shit is she wearing?
* What the hell is on her face?

* I don't know why this woman gets under my skin so bad.

* I'm beginning to think I am too old to "get her".

* I don't even like her music, and I love all types of music.

* She goes down the red carpet in an egg?

* I was watching this this morning on GMA. I was ready to kick in my tv.

* What the hell is up with all her little monsters???

* Geesh!! They have a I HATE LADY GAGA facebook, that I am seriously contemplating LIKEING!!

* and I HATE the word HATE.

* P.S. I really like Britney Spears. With that being said I think her new release sucks. It's mediocre. I had my expectation too high I guess.

* Let's hope her album offers more.

peace!

2011-02-11T10:41:00.002-06:00

* The sunset yesterday evening was gorgeous from my back yard. I should have snapped a pic with my phone but I was just too lazy. I regret it now cause I could have posted it here.
* Cleaning up a house that was previously lived in by hoarders is not fun. This place is TV worthy.
* I felt SO happy to work out yesterday in shorts and a tank top. It made my day.
* I never realized it but the weather affects my moods. I have been dragging butt for the past month feeling tired all the time and just being lazy. I think it had to do with the weather.
* I'm still dragging a tad, but the lazy is wearing off. I got up this morning and worked out, and I'll do it again when I get home this evening.
* I still do not have Internet at home. There was a slight glimmer of hope about three weeks ago when they said it was available. By the time I got home from work they called and said they were working out the kinks, to call back next week.
*I have called every week like clock work - still no Internet.
* Me and my husband hate valentines day because it's just another reason to spend money, so we both agreed to not exchanges gifts, stay home and watch a movie.
* I cooked us some steamed broccoli and a Rib eye on the George Foreman and we watched SAW The Final Chapter. I thought it was funny eating a vday dinner with my man, all the while watching a gruesome movie. I laughed about it...
* Steaks just don't taste the same unless you cook them on a charcoal grill. The steaks I cooked last night were ok, just not as good as the grill.
* Ive got a super busy day tomorrow.
* I need a good healthy pork chop recipe. All I usually do is grill pork chops, and that gets boring. Any ideas??
* Gotta go, busy day!

SICK OF WINTER ! ! ! !

ENOUGH SAID ! !

The Past Week

2011-02-08T14:58:00.003-06:00

* Wow. . . last week was some craziness!!

* I have never been stranded at home for that long.

* At first we had only cold water until Wednesday morning when we had NO WATER.

* Do you know how long it takes to melt snow into water? A LONG FREAKING TIME !! And then you are majorly disappointed when it's hardly any water?? Sheesh . . . we melted probably 50 gallons on snow. It took about 2 hours and it only filled the toilets up once to flush and once to refill again.

* After all that snow melting my nephew needed to use the bathroom. Both me and my husband said that's fine but DON'T FLUSH THE TOILET!!!!!!! About 30 seconds later we hear a flush.... Errggg!!!! Oh well, by Thursday night my neighbor had come to our rescue and fixed the water.

* We thought it was froze the whole time underground somewhere, it turns out we had an electrical short and it took all of about 20 minutes to fix!!!! WTH?? Seriously, we could have had water two days ago.....

* Oh well.... live and learn I guess.

* We decided we needed to make a sled and try and have some fun in the snow so my husband got the four wheeler out and found a huge piece of carpet and made a sled for us. Who wants a magic carpet ride??? hee hee, it made for some good jokes.

* Some friends of ours brought over a boogie board. I thought that was funner than the carpet.

* I really felt sorry for my Sadie dog cause she was so cold. I tried to leave her in the house, she just really didn't want any part of it. So, she mainly slept in the shop on the couches.

* I would have been IRATE if I spent all that money and time getting their and then turned away. Jerry better watch his ass for the next few weeks. Theres a lot of people pissed off.

* I have to admit, I guess I wasn't really paying attention when Christina messed the lyrics up. I thought something seemed off, but I never really paid attention.

*We are suppose to get another batch of this crap?? Ugh!! I hate to say it but I am not looking forward to it. I have too much to do at work.

* Hurry Up Summer, I miss you !

I have been reluctant to do this . . .

2011-01-07T15:41:00.003-06:00

... because it's hard to talk about...

Last year was one of many years I wish I could rewind, lock up and throw away the key. I want the whole year to erase. Or maybe I would just take a handful of months away because really the whole year wasn't horrible just the first few months.

William Grant Edwards

My dear friend, The LIFE of the party, my loving cousin, died in a horrible car accident the day after my birthday February 26th last year. I woke up that morning, like every morning and watched the news. I saw the wreck on the news and vividly remember saying a prayer for the family of the victim of that accident on 380. I went on about my morning, got ready for work and left the house. Got to work and received a phone call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in a while. I thought at the time it was weird but it was a Friday so I figured they may want to come out that weekend or something so I proceeded to answer the phone. The following is what transpired:

Caller: Hey you busy?
Me: I just got to work whats up?
Caller: Hey, have you heard anything about Grant I heard he was in a bad car accident.
Me: No!! I haven't is he ok? Do you know what happen? Oh my gosh! I'm sure if Dad knew he would have called. Hang on let me call him real quick.
Caller: Umm . . . I . . . I . . . I don't really know much about it thats why I called you.

At this point Caller figures out that he knows my cousin has passed away and he doesn't want to be the one to tell me :(

Dad: No Billy has tried to call me several times but now I can't get ahold of him.
Me: Well I heard Grant was in a wreck and I don't know how bad or if he's ok or what.
Dad: Well I guess I'll run out to the house and see whats going on because Billy won't answer.
Me: Ok call me back when you know something.

Five minutes later my dad met the Sheriff coming out of Billy and Grant's driveway. It's confirmed... Grant's gone..... Billy locked himself in his truck for hours. Just over two years ago, weeks from the date, we lost my Aunt Evelyn of cancer. Grant's mother, Billy's wife . . .
I struggle with wandering how one person can lose so much and still be sane. A family of four, is now a family of 2?? 1/2 gone . . . Just gone . . .
I guess Jesus gets you through it. I know he got me through this year...

That is an empty feeling. Why?? Grant had just had a baby boy in December. He will never get to experience marrying the love of his life, raising his beautiful son . . . cause he's gone.

The day we buried Grant, Murphy went missing. Haven't seen him sense. I still miss that little guy...

Maybe all of these loss and life experiences prepares you to have more faith, give more love and cherish the moments you have with the people you love. That right there really makes me realize how much God has blessed me with. I may not have children but I have alot of Joy in my life and I am content with that.

I have high hopes for this year. We are going to be welcoming a new baby nephew into the family this year, we already have vacation booked and unlike this time last year I only have about 10 pounds (not 60) to lose to rock my bikini bod :)

That is one positive thing I did for myself. I actually stuck with a New Years resolution and kept the weight off.

I don't know if I have many readers but who ever is reading this may God bless your life in 2011. Keep your family close to your heart. You never know when God will call them home...

2011-01-05T16:53:00.001-06:00

I should be excited it's Friday

2010-11-05T11:54:00.003-05:00

I worry too much.
I know I have said it before but I tend to be compulsive about it.
I think I may venture away to Bowie trade days tomorrow. Hopefully the weather is nice and I can find some good deals.
Without the company of my husband I get bored. I mean really bored. I found myself laying in bed at 7 last night watching Oprah off the DVR.
I am super excited because I am booking our vacation today for June of next year. We are going back to Cancun to the same hotel. It was a blast. Now I can't wait till June.
I know it's brief but I got lots of stuff to do today.
peace

Caveman Xtreme

2010-10-28T16:23:00.004-05:00

I have never ran a 5K race, nor competed in any type of race since high school. That was 10 years ago. Oh my gosh . . . . can't believe how old I am. Anyways, I was amazed about how nervous I became closer to our time to start. I was biting my lip, I had butterflies, I was scared. I had decided early on that I wasn't going to just blow it off. I was going to actually bust my butt and try my hardest. About an hour before the race the wind picked up, the tents were blowing over and papers were flying everywhere. My mom called and said there was a storm coming. My worst fear, besides braking a bone was to be cold and wet. I am cool with hot and wet, just not freezing cold and wet. Well, after the wind picked up it started to rain. Great.... now I haven't even started in my heat and I am cold and wet.

12:30 rolls around and I am ready to go. Runners ready GO!!!!!!!!!! I was off. I remember from my cross country days in high school it was better not to sprint to get in the lead because you will use all your energy to quickly. So, I got a pretty steady pace going and got behind two guys and decided I am not loosing them. If I stick with them I will be ok. I stuck with them the whole time. The obstacle were fun and actually gave you a minute to catch your breath from running. There were about 40 obstacles throughout the whole thing and they were all in a good place. Meaning by the time you needed to catch your breath from running, you would come about an obstacle and although the obstacles were challenging it gave you a chance to take a breather.

The Slip in Slide was the biggest baddest I have ever seen. They were suppose to try and break a World Record that day but I'm sure it got cancelled because of the lightning. Well, I thought the slip in slide was optional, and although I wanted to do it either way about half way through the race I realize it is part of the race. Everyone is going down it. Not only that but they encourage you to slide down on your stomach.... WHAT!! Not the new girls, they are going to be smashed or beat to death going down!!! So I did what they told me to and went belly down. It was a rough ride, I'm not going to lie. It was the longest fastest slip n slide I have ever experienced. When I reached the bottom and it through me into a pond there was a guy there to help you up/make sure your still alive. I stood up and my knee was bleeding and I said I think I just popped a boob. The guy just started laughing and said that's not good.

So, after that I just kept on trucking along. I don't want to bore you with anymore the obstacle talk. Just know that I recommend doing it at least once! And here are my results:

I placed 147 out of 534 runners and had a time of 00:49.35. I could not have been any more proud of myself. After I crossed the finish line I stood around for a little bit to see where my sister was. I knew she was behind me I just didn't know how far. Well she came trucking in about 15 minutes later. I got cold again and made my way to the truck. Katie got back and we waited on another friend that did it with us. After we all got done we were not leaving without our two free bears so we made our way to the beer stand and drank our two beers on the way home. (We weren't driving of course.) Anyways, I am looking forward to the next one. It should be fun and hopefully the weather will be nicer.

Hide Yo Wife, Hide Yo kids and Hide Yo Husband Cause They Raping Everybody Up in Here!!

2010-10-22T09:06:00.004-05:00

OK...... Raping is NO JOKE to me at all but this news story is PURE GOLD!!!!!!

AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

EXTRA BONUS: Now you too can be Antoine for Halloween!!

just chit chatting

2010-10-19T14:16:00.003-05:00

- I am ready for vacation again. I know it's a long ways off but I'm ready for it now.
- Hunting season is here and I am hoping we can fill up the extra freezer in the shop with some Jap and Cheese this year (aka dear meat).
- I love going to the deer lease. Its a 4 hour drive, just far enough to make yourself think it's a mini-vaca.
- Hubby and I went a few weeks ago and worked our butts off getting stuff ready for opening week.
- We have had a Halloween party every year for the the last three years. Well, we aren't having one this year. I can't get into the Halloween spirit and quite frankly I'm sick of being the one responsible for it. Everyone expects us to do it. So, we aren't having one. I just don't want to mess with it this year. Plus, I don't have a costume and I hate paying a ridiculous amount for one.
- OH MY!! I almost forgot!! I run 6 miles a day on my treadmill but I have never ran a 5K event. Well, my sister had free entries into the Caveman Extreme and she signed me up. The doctor she works for is sponsoring the event. I'm probably crazy for doing it but it looks like it would be SO much fun. I'm really hoping for decent weather Saturday. I hate being cold and wet. So, I'm hoping the sun will be out all day. I'm not going just for fun, I really wanna do good in it.
- I'll try and post more, seriously I just get rapped up in work and forget.
peace

What a Dumb A$$ !!!!

2010-09-27T14:25:00.004-05:00

* I wanted to blog about this last week but I got busy and didn't get a chance. This girl is an idiot. What more can you say??

* I don't think it was "hollywood" that screwed her up. I think it was poor parenting and irresponsibility on herself.

* A part of me wants to sympathize with her cause you know she is an addict, a slave to the drug, but she obviously can afford help, it just doesn't seem like she wants help.

* Unfortunetly I see little help for her in the future. She believes she is above the law.

Tuesday Morning Gripe

2010-09-14T09:17:00.004-05:00

Yesterday was a rough day in my neighborhood. Let me tell you how my day went.

* I woke up unusually refreshed and in a great mood for a Monday. On my way to work I even thought to myself "Why am I so chipper this morning, it's Monday?"
* 8:30 a.m. turn my computer on get ready for the day. By 9:00 a.m. the phone is ringing off the hook. I'm the only lady in the office today, because the other is on vacation.
* Our 9:00 appointment shows up about the same time as another client calls.
* I grabbed his file before the boss man could talk to him. Opened it up and see a confirmation letter confirming his 9:00 a.m. hearing...for that morning.
* So we have a client in the office for an appointment and another pissed off at the court house cause his attorney's not over there.
* Called court, ended up being no big deal.
*9:30 rolls around and a suspicious box pops up on my computer telling me I have a Trojan virus. I try to X out of it, it won't let me. Long story short my computer went from perfectly fine, to completely worthless. Call to Century Link to pay someone to fix. It took him all day. Guess what people if this happens to you, do not try and do anything other than immediately yank the plug on your computer. Do not log off, cause the longer it's on your screen and you try and X out the more it embeds into your computer.
* 2:00 rolls around and I have realized I haven't received some paperwork that has to be filed today. Quick trip to mail box and it's there... surprisingly something went right.
*3:30 Lock up office, head to Decatur. Get boss man to give me additional paperwork. Walk to clerk to file. I realize boss man didn't sign necessary paperwork. Leave keys at clerks on counter. Walk back to office where he is, get him to sign. Walk back to clerk and file paperwork.
4:00 While standing at clerks I notice my keys on the counter and a single key with remote lock/start sitting by themselves. I asked clerk if someone left keys. She doesn't know, she didn't notice them laying there till right then. No more thought, I grabbed my keys and left.
4:30 I go to Walmart. I hate Walmart. Walk back to car with groceries, an old lady almost backs over me. At this point, I kind of want her to but she slams on her brakes.
5:00 On my way home. There is something in the road appearing to be small brush that has fallen off someones truck on 2123. Looks pretty safe so I straddle said brush. Not much choice to swerve because it's in the bottoms and for me to go around it could have resulted in my death by head on collision. So... I straddle said "brush". Guess what?? It's not just brush there is a f'ing log on said brush. EEEEESSSHHHHHHHH !!! Are you kidding me?
Needless to say, the rest of the night was fun.
This Morning:
8:15 a.m. I go to get my keys out of my purse to move the truck into the shop. My keys are in there but my truck key and remote lock/starter are missing. Called clerk they have them. Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord. Car seemed to run fine this morning so I guess the sound of my engine being ripped from under my car after hitting said "brush", was not as bad as the sound. My computer has worked great today. I'm praying for a better day. We will see what happens. All in all I had a unusually weird/crappy Monday, but out of everything that happened, there seemed to have been a resolution to the problem.

** KNOCKING ON WOOD AS I TYPE**

It was just an odd day. I'm going to stay positive today in hopes for a better week.

Thirsty Thursday

2010-09-02T14:37:00.005-05:00

* So... I am ready to get home, workout, cook dinner and make me a drink. It's been a long week. I deserve one.
* I took the truck to James Woods this morning. Good news!! An ax murder didn't bring me to work. I made hubby take me up there to pick it up.
* I am SO ready for the Brookshires to be built. IGA and Diamonds drive me insane. No variety except for Spanish people. Sorry but it's true. That shit gets old.
* I can't even find decent produce around this mother!!!!! UGH!!!! I bought strawberries yesterday instead of grapes because the grapes aren't on sale this week. By this morning they had fuzz on them. I want my $1.68 back. I should have spent the extra on the grapes and had some for 4 days.
* And yes, I am a cheap ass, and proud of it. You have to be smart about purchasing food. Geez....
* I woke up this morning at 4 a.m. to the biggest flash of light, followed by a HUGE thunder 5 seconds later.
* I think this is the very first morning since starting to workout in February that it has rained in the morning. That's a long time.
* Big Brother comes on tonight. YEH!! I hope Lane wins, I think there is only like 14 more days. He rocks the Grant shirt all the time!! I know people that know him, but I have never met him. Or maybe I met him at Grant's memorial ride. Too many people during that time. I can't remember. Anyways, he seems like a cool cat to hang out with.
* I forgot to mention this the other day but Paris Hilton getting busted for cocaine and her claiming "I was holding it for a friend" is about the funniest shit I have heard since Lindsey Lohan went to jail. What a dumb ass. Throw that ho back in the clunker.
* I eat eggs ALOT!!
* Store bought Ham Steak isn't that great. It's too salty.
* The steam bags made by Ziploc are the best. I usually get fresh broccoli and cut it up put it in the bag sprinkle some Cajun seasoning and put in microwave for 3 minutes. That's it. Steamed to perfection and SO good. Steamed squash is good too.
* We are probably going to have to mow this weekend.
gotta go peace out

2010-09-01T09:39:00.004-05:00

* I always see this on facebook or myspace and I ALWAYS wanna fill it out the way I really feel, but I never would make it public. I can find a name for each one of those characters in my life, including me. Some people may not embrace theirs, which is why I don't tag and post. lol

* I woke up late this morning.... ok, well not super late. I typically get up at 5:00 a.m. and go work out. This morning I turned my alarm off and I woke up at 5:45 a.m. I still worked out. Go me!

* I have to take our truck into the dealership tomorrow for a recall, oil change, inspection and car wash. It's gonna feel like a new ride. Hopefully James Woods won't catch on fire.

* They said they had someone that could bring me to work. That kind of makes me nervous. Someone I don't know driving back to Bridgeport to go to work and then pick me up when my truck is ready.... I hope they run background checks on their employees.

* I was really pumped for this weekend, now not so much. We cancelled our trip to New Braunfels. Sheesh.... I guess getting more garage sale stuff ready and yard work is in my future. I'm not going to bitch too much though cause it's a 3 day weekend and I get off early Friday. Yippee!!

* So, I golfed for the first time since the girls came into my life over the weekend. Verdict: They aren't in the way and it didn't hurt a bit. Success.

* As stressful as golfing is and as mad and frustrated my husband gets when he plays, I still love having a hobby to do together we both enjoy.

* Deer season is right around the corner. I'm excited, I guess but a couple that is usually on our lease, won't be this year. Kind of sucks, cause me and her talk all the time and they live the closest out of all the couples on the lease.

* I'm not ready for summer to be over. Even though 100 degree weather is a beating, I will take it before winter. I cannot stand winter months.

* As for the electric bill being so high, I could do without.

* I can't believe I posted a mid week post.

* I gotta get back at it though.

peace

Weekend, here we go...

2010-08-27T13:20:00.004-05:00

* So this week started out a little rough.

* I had to get up at the crack ass of dawn on Monday and drive myself 3 1/2 hours to Oklahoma City, go into the doctor for 20 minutes and jump back on the interstate for another 3 1/2 hour drive home. ughh... and I was all by myself.

* I barely escaped a ticket. I was running about 80 over a bridge. The copper was at the bottom. He immediately got in behind me. I suddenly got the "Awe shit!!! Great now I'm getting a ticket. Damn it!!!!!!" He followed me long enough to probably run my plates and then he passed me. "Are you kidding???" "Thank you Jesus!!". I drove the speed limit the rest of the way because I feel like God was giving me a clue to slow down. If I would have kept speeding Karma would've been back at me and I would've gotten a ticket on down the road.

* I DVR 20/20 on Friday nights and the last one that was on was about a man who was a truck driver/murderer. I can't remember how many people he had killed on his travels but I can guarantee you when I had to stop at a LOVE'S truck stop in Ardmore, Oklahoma by myself... Oh man.... that creepy guy and every truck driver at LOVE'S was making me a little paranoid.

* I started to feel my throat hurting on Monday. By Tuesday, I had the full blown snots and stuffy head. I'm pretty much over it now. I think it was the cold front that blew something in.

* We had a guy stop by the house yesterday around 6:00 p.m. trying to sell water softeners. He wasn't in a company labeled truck and he had a slobby looking guy sitting in the passenger seat. Hubby talked to him at the front door and just said we already had one, but something doesn't seem right about it. My first thought is they are posing as water softener salesman to maybe get a look see into your house or shop. Check the goodies and BAM!!!!!! Your shop and house just got broke into while you were working. He left a flyer. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

* Back to working out and it feels so good. I have been able to do my regular workout, just like normal. It feels a tad weird, ya know with them bouncing and all, but who cares.

* I am really liking the weather but I have a confession to make: I went into the closet yesterday morning after breakfast and grabbed my sweater jacket when I went outside to feed the dogs. It was chilly. I felt like a puss bag, but I didn't care.

* I LOVE ME SOME BIG BROTHER!! The episode last night couldn't have gone any better than it did.

* This weekend I have to gather EVERYTHING for the upcoming garage sale at my sisters in Bridgeport. Everyone should come buy all our crap. No, really I have some really nice clothes I'm selling. Most I can't fit into anymore, but hubby (whether he likes it or not), is parting with a bunch of his clothes, and some of his stuff still has tags on it because he decided after he bought it he didn't like the color.

* This day is zooming by which is rare for a Friday. They usually drag by.

* I love me some green grapes. Been eating the hound out them since they have been on sale lately.

* My oldest nephew started school Monday. He ran over to my house that afternoon to tell me all about it. He was most excited that he got to choose what he ate for lunch. He apparently never had an option in day care.

* There are 17 kids in his class at Paradise. My sister told me that each week a kids parent has to provide a snack for the entire class the whole week. That's 17 kids X 50 cents a snack X 5 days a week. That comes to about $45.00, give or take after tax. So, what if the kids parents don''t have that kind of money. I am guessing if your child is in the free lunch program, your child's name is not on the snack lists. Oh and the snack cannot be chips, chocolate, cookies, or anything with sugar in it. Basically no junk food. I still can't think of a snack that she could bring, other than maybe fruit snacks of sugar free jello?

* I gotta bounce and get back to work. I'm feeling great today. Hopefully a good sign for the weekend.

peace. be safe.

Something tells me if these men knew they were gonna be trapped together for 4 months, this newly released raw video wouldn't be near as entertaining

2010-08-27T11:46:00.002-05:00

AHHHH . . . . alas it's Friday

2010-08-20T14:56:00.004-05:00

* I couldn't resist the picture...
* So I got me a new pair of girls and I get my stiches out Monday. I can't wait. This wrap I have had on them for 2 weeks is killing my back.
* I want to see my before and after. It's hard to tell when you look at them every day.
* A lady came by the office today and I swear, she had to be the most miserable person I have been around in a while. Her attitude, demeanor, antics, everything sucked. It's like she hated me because I typed up a paper for her to sign. I try and lay the niceness on SUPER thick when people act like that.
* I reconnected with an two old best friends in one month. Can you say a little awkward. Both relationships had gone south for, well lets just say reasons I didn't understand.
* One is seperated from her husband and the other didn't tell her husband she was going to see us because apparently that would ignite a shit storm.
* Too much drama for me.
* I cannot stand the freaking drama lama.
* I have been SO busy this week at work, but I'm glad. Rather be busy than not.
* We are trying to plan a trip to the Schlitterbahn cause my brother in law got free tickets. I haven't been since I was young and my parents took us. I am getting pretty pumped up about it.
* We met a couple in Cancun this past July. It just so happens they are coming up this weekend to visit. That seems crazy, but they live in Round Rock and will be in Fort Worth for something this weekend so they are just going to come chill and spend the night.
* I'll write more later. I gotta get back to work.

Hump Day . . .

2010-07-06T14:51:00.003-05:00

* I got that tattoo in Mexico but it's fake. I'm seriously contemplating down sizing it by about 1/2 and putting it on permanently. Is three tats too trashy if you can hide them??

* Vacation was a blast. Alot of drink, alot of partying, and alot of food.

* I actually lost weight on vacation.

* I am down to 126. That is 44 pounds since February. I am very proud of myself and all the hard work I have done. I wish I could slack off a little, but the weight would come back. Plus I feel better after working out every day.

* My husband told me to not get passed 120... I don't think he has ever said you are starting to look too skinny.

* Now he wants to buy me a rack. Those poor bastards just went completely away. Sheesh, I think he wants them more than I do. I have never ever felt like I needed fake boobs, till now.

* The new Eminem CD is the bomb... just saying ;)

* I always liked his music cause it's not just rap. His words tell a story.

* I wander how many people got a DWI in Wise County over the 4th of July weekend?

* Me and hubby are talking about putting a pool in soon. Any recommendations, do and dont's, or advice?

* I had a horrible charley-horse in my leg Sunday night. It still hurts.

* My sister is having a colonoscopy this morning. Keep your fingers crossed. My gyno recommends I have one when I turn 30. Better safe than sorry I guess.

* I had some weird dreams last night.
* The funniest thing I saw on TV last night, Lindsey Lohan sentenced to 90 days in jail, plus 90 days of rehab. That's either gonna be the best thing for her or this will have put her over the edge and she will go A-wall in the next two weeks, resulting in her death. Just saying... that girl ain't stable. She is PISSED and she is an ADDICT. But, I doubt she serves a full 90 days. I give it less than a few weeks.
* I finally got an iphone. I've never had one, and I love it. The battery drains easily. Any advice would be great. I turned the auto brightness down. Also, if anybody knows any apps that are cool, let me know.
* I gotta get to work. Peace!

Meet Meemo...

2010-06-03T11:40:00.002-05:00

Meet Meemo. We named her Meemo cause she showed up on my neighbors back porch on Memorial Day morning. There was no sign of her mom and she was scared to death. I bet she isn't a week old. They went to the feed store and got her some milk. I guess they have a new pet now. She is the most adorable little deer. You can hold her like a baby and bottle feed her. She makes these crazy noises when you walk away from her like she's saying "mommy come back". I'm suppose to deer sit tomorrow for the night. We will see how that goes.

FRIDAY! Hellzzzz YEH!

2010-05-28T09:59:00.002-05:00

* I like the B.O.B. song Airplanes. It's really catchy.

* I cannot begin to tell you people how happy I am that it is Friday. This week seemed to drag on forever.

* Shopping and getting my hair did is on my to do list this weekend. I get to see one of my really great friends today.

* and it's a 3 day weekend . . .WOOHOO!!

* The guy on the you tube video on Barry's blog creeps me the hell out. Their are some crazy ass people out there. What if it was a gun in his hand and he just decided right before the door opened he was going to spare your life? You just never know...

* Which leads to me to the next question... Would you wanna know when and how you were gonna die? I can see positives and negatives on both sides of it. I caught a glimpse of previews for a new t.v. show that flashed into the future and people see their future demise, break up of marriages, deaths of family... on second thought... No I just want to go when the good Lord wants me and I don't want to know anything. If we knew every little detail of what our lives hold, what would you live for?

* OK... I didn't mean to get so deep in thought ...

* Accomplice is lucky she has a boat to spend the weekend on. I wish we still had our boat, but building a house was way worth loosing a few toys.

* I'M JUST HAPPY IT IS FRIDAY AND IT'S A LONG WEEKEND.

* EVERYONE STAY SAFE, DRINK RESPONSIBLY, I KNOW I WILL BE!!

From my email...

2010-05-21T13:48:00.003-05:00

* I am seriously contemplating an iphone. I have been going back and forth on it for quite some time now. I can't decide if I want a blackberry or iphone. Any suggestions peeps?? I have ever had either one. I have a Blackjack right now. I'm just a little worried about the no insurance i phone thing cause I drop my phone alot.
* I get off work early today!! Yippee! Here I come more yard work.
* I think I have said it before, but I love me some Modern Family!! That is the best show on TV in my opinion. The show that comes on before it is called The Middle, I really like that one too.
* Almost every channel, excluding the news is Paid Programming at 5:30 in the morning. That gets really annoying when you are trying to keep yourself interested while working out. Oh, by the way the Jerry Springer show comes on at 5:30 in the afternoon on the GSN channel. Yesterday this black guy had two kids in one year by 2 baby mamas...WOW
* My nephew finally got his body cast off. He is free!! Now my sister is gonna have to put him on a leash. lol
* I'm SO GLAD it is Friday. I know we are going to be busting ass on the retaining wall this weekend but I don't care, cause it's the weekend!!! :) :)
I'm out. peace.

My Guilty Pleasure

2010-05-20T09:13:00.002-05:00

Yes, Jerry Springer is trashy, but ya gotta love him!!
I watch his new show Baggage on GSN while I work out now. It's a dating show, which I normally wouldn't watch but some of the people on here reveal some MAJOR baggage. Hey, at least it keeps me entertained for my 30 minute work out.

2010-05-19T14:03:00.005-05:00

* HA HA! We use to own a Notro boat. lol.

* We have a slight risk of storms tonight, but I have had two different people say it was suppose to get really bad tonight. I hope they are wrong.

* We still have my brother in laws dog. He got kicked out of his apartmenet in Ft. Worth and asked us to watch it over a weekend (going on 4 months ago) while he found another apartment It doesn't take me long to feel sorry for animals, but this dog has got to go. He is about to become bow practice for my husband if he chews up one more thing!! I can't take it. He has jumped on my car and scratched all down the side, chewed up $50 water hoses and eats like a pig. He gets under my feet while I'm trying to walk and has absolutely no discipline what so ever. It's his time. I don't care where he goes he just needs to go.

* Last night we got the whole first layer of retaining wall layed. Sheesh... thank God for my Dad and our neighbor. Me and hubby would have been out there (probably killing each other) by the time we got that done. If you don't get it level all the way around your wall will ultimatly fall and all the hard work you busted your ass doing will be for nothing. We have way to much money in that wall to do it half ass. (which for me makes it even more stressful that we do it right) I will try and take some pics and post of the progress.

* ANY BRIDGEPORT READERS BEWARE: My sister lives on Harwood Street in Bridgeport. Just to let you know there is a peeping tom in your neighborhood. My sister saw him looking into their bathroom window a couple weeks ago about 1:00 in the morning. She called the cops but he was never found. That creeps me the hell out.

* My 10 year high school reunion is coming up. I think I should be way more excited than I am. We are suppose to go, just not really looking forward to it, and I really don't know why.

* My mom and dad had baby ducks this week. They have never had a set of ducks that actually produced baby ducks. Usually we would either eat the eggs or they would rott. Apparently we have a good mama this time that likes to sit on her nest.

Aren't they cute?

This is just wrong . . . BUT FUNNY!!

2010-05-13T13:53:00.003-05:00

Rocky premiered on the show Intervention about a month ago. He use to be a famous boxer and he turned into a crack head and homeless. Anyways... on with my point.

Let me just tell you first off (or I guess 2nd) that I love the show Intervention. Not only because it is entertaining but it's pretty hard core reality. Anyways, hubby and I actually watched this episode about a month ago and about the time I start tearing up during the actual intervention the following happened . . .

. . . We both looked at each other and started CRACKING UP LAUGHING!!!! I didn't know other people thought it was as funny as we did until I ran across it on youtube. I realize it's a little sick and wrong but you know your probably laughing your ass off right now and watching it again.

Move over stanky leg...

2010-05-11T15:23:00.004-05:00

* I have got to get back in the habit of blogging. I enjoy it. I think it's therapudic for me.
* We have started building a 4 foot retaining wall at our home. That is HARD WORK!! My shoulder blades feel like a bull stomped on them.
* We dug a 6'X4' hole looking for our electric line... then we found out my brother in law has a line locator. He came right over and found it in about 1 minute. It was 2 foot underground, about 6 inches over.
* That was a major power down after a days worth of diggin through hard clay.
* I have now lost 33 1/2 pounds in 3 months. Diet and excersise do work.
* I need to buy some new clothes. I like shopping but I hate spending alot of money.
* I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some resale shops. I bought a pair of heels for $3.25 yesterday. It didn't even look like they had ever been worn.
* I'll try and get in the habit of writing more often. Just been so busy.

Already begging for Friday!!!

2010-04-12T14:50:00.007-05:00

* As you can see in the above picture, Sadie had her fair share of Easter eggs last weekend.

* I was not really looking forward to Easter this year, but it turned out really nice and the kids seemed to really enjoy hunting eggs.

* We worked in our yard all day long yesterday.

* My everything is sore, I guess from the riding lawn mower?

* We trashed all of our solar lights. After two years the paint on them had faded and ultimatly they are expensive to keep up with. Batteries for them were around $8 or $9 for 4 batteries and each one took two.

* That adds up real quick when you have about 20 lights to replace.

* We are thinking of getting electric ones. Not sure yet.

* I renewed my license over almost a month ago and I still don't have it back yet.

* I'm so ready for summer.

* Our yard looks so nice after we mow. But now that we have mowed it's gonna need to be mowed every week or every other week.

* Kellogg Protein Bars are ridiculously expensive. $7.19 for 6 freaking bars!! Are you kidding me?

* Hubby is on a high protein diet.

* I was really hoping to win the lottery Saturday but it didn't happen.

* Me and hubby went to play golf Saturday and shot a 75. (playing best ball) That's an all time low for us.

Been a while. . .

2010-03-23T15:34:00.004-05:00

* Things haven't exactly gone as planned in my world the last couple months. Here are a few things to catch you up.
* I lost one of my cousins in a bad car accident the day after my birthday. His son is only a few months old. Hard. To. Except.

* Murphy went missing... again, except for he has been gone since March 4th, the day after we buried my cousin. He is still M.I.A. I'm not sure if a coyote got him or someone stole him. It's very sad for me. I had him since he was 6 months old and he was almost 8. At least we got spend alot of time with him the past few months because he had to be in the house because of his leg. I will forever cherish those moments.

* I just had $500 worth of work done on my POS car, but I guess I can't gripe too much I haven't had a car payment in 6 years.

* We now have a scheduled vacation in our future. Cancun Mexico here I come!

* I have lost 21 pounds in 6 weeks due to excercises and counting my calories. I feel great and I only have about 20 more to reach my goal.

* We have been watching LIFE, the Discovery Channel documentary.

* We rented Law Abiding Citizen, which to be honest with you, I had never heard about. I have to say, it was the best movie I have seen in a long time.

* Last night we watched The Blind Side. It was ok, but man did they play down Michael Ohr to be extremely unintelligent. At some point in the movie I thought it was too much dumbness from the poor black kid from the streets.

* The news of the kid dying at Rocky Ridge this past weekend makes me sad. But, it is a very dangerous place to go if you are not careful of yourself and other drivers. We have been there numerous times and had a blast, but I did roll my four wheeler on top of my head back in 2006, and made a mad dash to the ER. I don't think the parents will sue. You sign a waiver when you go in to "ride at your own risk". And trust me there are plenty of risky situations to get yourself into there.

* I'm never been so ready for summer. We have been playing alot of golf and I got my first birdie a few weeks ago. 2 strokes is all it took.

* I need to work on our flower beds and start mowing soon.

* Oh, by the way... We are trying to sale our 100 gallon fish tank with the filters, rock, lights, stand and canopy, if anyone is interested.

* I gotta get back to work. Hope everyone has a great week.

Thirsty Thursday

DUMBO

2010-01-15T09:40:00.003-06:00

Dumbo was my absolute favorite movie when I was growing up. I went over to visit my nephew the other day and he was watching it. I think they were dropping acid when they made the pink elephant song. It is crazy me how many things my pure mind didnt pick up on when I was little. Now rewatching it Dumbo gets drunk, the only men working are black, the crows are well black and talk black. It's fun to rewatch it now at my age. I picked up on alot of stuff they were throwing down.

Crazy Music Video

2010-01-11T15:04:00.003-06:00

* I was off all week last week to do some much needed spring cleaning. I enjoyed being off but I was ready to come back.
* Damn the baseboards of my home were dusty. Seriously! Go home and get eye level with your baseboards. You will be surprised how dusty they can get.
* We made the trip to New Orleans last week. We left Saturday after New Years and were back by last Tuesday afternoon. Quick trip. I wish we could have stayed longer.
* I have never been to a Rosary before. It was very interesting/confusing.
* I found out this weekend some of our good friends are going to be going through a divorce. Sad to say the least.
* After reading Barrys blog, I wanna go to Costa Rica.
* I have way too many other things that need paying for first, unfortunately.
* We are having Chicken stuffed with crawfish tonight for dinner. My mouth is already watering.
* I am starting the couch to 5K tonight. I need to lose some weight. I need motivation to start and to keep it going. My husband says he is going to work-out with me. sure for maybe the first day.... I have to stick with it this year. I'm determined. I don't even own a scale at home. Oh well. I'll know when I start losing weight.
* Instead of Buying a Wii I asked both of my sister where our old Super Nintendo was and my oldest sister had it, OMG . . . it still works!!
* I played Super Mario World all weekend! My husband thought I was crazy until he started playing too. I think I got him hooked.

Murphy WHY?????

2009-12-31T11:08:00.004-06:00

So Murphy's check up didn't go so good yesterday. As you can see, below. His metal plate is broke. How does this happen? Aren't those metal plates? He doesn't run, I won't let him play for fear he will mess it up some more. I just don't understand... The bone calis it starting to grow over the plate so I am hoping we won't have to do anything further. He still only uses it occasionally. I have to take him back in another month. Geesh...

Edit: I don't know why but I can't get the Xray pic to blow up... trust me it's bee-roke.

That is a hard headed deer - arrow right through his head

2009-12-29T15:05:00.003-06:00

* Oh how I wish Tuesday was always a 1/2 way mark, oh well. I'm just lucky I have a job.

* I have been having bizarre dreams that are so real I wake myself up jerking around. I have laways had bizarre dreams but not enough physically move around in my sleep.

* The precipitation in coming down pretty quick like outside.

* I played Super Mario Brothers on the Wii at my sister yesterday. Holy smokes! I want to go and buy a Wii now so I can keep playing. It brought me back at least 15 years ago. I thought I would just buy it for the Playstation but you can't get Mario Playstation games. What a downer...

* It has been almost 3 years since we built our home and I have never cleaned the carpets other than vaccuming. Is that bad? I think next week I'm gonna take off and do a bunch of spring cleaning, including cleaning the carpets.

* Murphy goes back to the doctor tomorrow. Wish us luck. A month ago the doctor said his leg wasn't healing as well as expected. I figured by now there is no going back whatever the outcome. All I know is I did the best I could keeping him in the house and in his cage at night. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed.

Sadie says "How you doin'?"

2009-12-28T11:13:00.002-06:00

* Driving in the ice Chrsitmas Eve was in a word STRESSFUL. We left North Richland Hills at 4:00 and didn't make it home till 6:30. 287 was horrible. We saw truck go out of control hit the median and land on the opposite side of 287 facing oncoming traffic. Thank God nobody hit them, they had kids in the back seat.
* We had three foot snow drifts in our backyard Christmas Eve.
* I broke down and got my husband a SkyCaddy for Christmas and I even surprised him, which never happens.
* My husband grandfather died which means a trip to New Orleans for a funeral is in our future.
* I'm glad the year is getting over with.
* It hasn't been the worse year but I'm ready for a recharge.
* I'm about to start a workout couch to 5k in three months. wish. me. luck.
* I am the worst about wanting to get into shape and actually getting my lazy butt off the couch and doing it.
* I always feel 100% better after working out knowing I did it.
* I will have to keep you updated on that.

Funny . . .

Tear Jerker Poem from my email

2009-12-22T12:39:00.001-06:00

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near, But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.. Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night, A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old, Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold. Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled, Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

"What are you doing?" I asked without fear, "Come in this moment, it's freezing out here! Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve, You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!" For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..

To the window that danced with a warm fire's light Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right, I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line, That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me, I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me. My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December," Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers." My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ', And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while, But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile. Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag, The red, white, and blue... an American flag. I can live through the cold and the being alone, Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet, I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. I can carry the weight of killing another, Or lay down my life with my sister and brother.. Who stand at the front against any and all, To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.."
" So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright, Your family is waiting and I'll be all right." "But isn't there something I can do, at the least, "Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast? It seems all too little for all that you've done, For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret, "Just tell us you love us, and never forget. To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone, To stand your own watch, no matter how long. For when we come home, either standing or dead, To know you remember we fought and we bled. Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

I love Chris Farley

Ready for the weekend

2009-12-18T12:41:00.002-06:00

My washing machine took a dump and it was only three years old. I ordered me another one and I'm suppose to pick it up today. That is one of those emergency money things you wish you had money in savings to pay for.

I have four more things of salsa left to can. I'm ready to be done with canning. It's not hard once you get the hang of it, it's just a pain getting everything ready for it.

The dead deer in the yard has disappeared, I am guessing the dogs drug it somewhere else. Good for me cause I didn't want to haul it off.

We have recieved a ton of Christmas cards this year.

Shambo got the boot last night on Survivor. She lasted way longer than I thought she would.

I don't have alot today.

Merry Christmas !!

2009-12-17T12:49:00.004-06:00

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord!

Thirsty Thursday

2009-12-16T10:56:00.009-06:00

One of my favorite shows is Dexter, a series on Showtime. The Season Finale aired Sunday and I watched it last night. I can't believe they killed of Rita!! I am very upset. I think that is a sign of a really good series when you are so consumed with the characters it emotionally distresses you when someone dies.

I have been watching Nip/Tuck this season. . . WOW. That show is crazy good. I don't think it will be on next year, that's ashame.

Survivor Finale is this weekend. I hope Russell wins but he's been cocky the whole game, so it's bound to come and bite him in the butt.

Two more weeks and Murphy gets the boot back outside.

I came home yesterday and found another dead deer head and carcus in our yard. That is the 3rd deer the dogs have drug up this season.

I'm am doing all of my Christmas shopping this weekend. I am such a procrastinator.

We have been canning homeade BBQ sauce and Salsa for Christmas baskets this year. It is SO good.

I'm really getting sick of hearing about Tiger Woods.

I really wanna go somewhere tropical this year.

I ate a piece of Turkey and cheese for lunch with mustard.

The music at the courthouse in Decatur is a wee-bit loud. Do they do that ever year?

Nothing like being in a courtroom while the sound of lovely Christmas music plays in the background. At least you have something to look forward to when you walk back to your car.

I kind of like stuff that grosses people out

2009-12-11T15:53:00.002-06:00

Oh by the way . . .

2009-12-04T11:46:00.002-06:00

I forgot to mention we killed a bobcat at the deer lease over Thanksgiving.

Some people . . .

Don't Be Hatin'

2009-12-04T09:52:00.002-06:00

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE FAN OF EMINEM!! I HAVE BOUGHT EVERY ALBUM AND EVEN READ HIS BOOK. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FASCINATION IS BUT HE JUST RELEASED TWO NEW SONGS . . . CHECK EM' OUT!!

BOOB - A- LICIOUS. . .

2009-12-02T13:48:00.006-06:00

* Thanksgiving at the deer lease was wonderful. We always eat so much when we go there.

* I have to attend a funeral Friday for one of my neighbors. He was a good man. There will never be another Bud Tanner.

* The Tiger Woods cheating scandal cracks me up. People are all over the radio saying he was a role model, he has ruined his career, ect . . . Who cares people !!! Just because he is a celebrity just goes to show you how far we put people like him on a pedestal. It's ridiculous to me, and if everyone would take a step back from the situation you would realized it's NOBODY'S business where he putts his ball, except for him and his family. He has to live with that.

* On the other hand it makes me want to smack men or women for doing something so irresponsible and embarrassing to their families. Eventually, celebrity or not, you WILL get caught.

* I have said it before, but I am really not a big fan of cold weather. Me no likey.

* Murphy has a doctor's appointment today. We are past the 1/2 way point. Hopefully his leg is healing nicely.

* I'm trying to figure Christmas gifts in my head and it's not working. I always have brain block when it comes to getting gifts for others.

* My nephews 5th birthday party is this weekend. I can't believe he will be 5!

* That makes me feel old.

Happy Thanksgiving

2009-11-23T16:07:00.003-06:00

* I think I am about to delete my myspace account. It's just not fun anymore and I hardly ever long into it.

* I cannot freaking believe it is Thanksgiving time.

* I love buying gifts for people, but I cannot stand trying to figure out what people want.

* My hubby bought me a new gun. 22-250 decked out with Nikon scope. It's sweet!!

* I need to take ear plugs to the deer lease for when I shoot it. My ears are flipping sensitive.

* I have to make 3 cheese cakes tonight... 3!!!!!

* I also have a bunch of laundry to do and stuff to get ready for the weekend.

* I'm out, I'll try and post tomorrow but I have been really busy with work so I don't know.

By the way, Murphy looks pretty comfy huh? He comes to work with me now that he can't be on his leg for 4 more weeks.

After Murphy's Surgery

2009-11-12T11:18:00.003-06:00

* See those two loose pieces? The doctor is hoping they will grow back to the bone in 6 weeks. If not, they may have to amputate his leg. But, I have to think positive, do what the doctor tells me to do and go from there. It is what it is.

* For the most part Murphy has been good about staying off of it.

* I have had a problem with him not wanting to use the bathroom outside or he cant figure it out how to. He peed on himself last night after I tried to get him to pee up to 8 times that day and about 5 minutes before he decided to go.

* It is very frustrating for me, I'm sure it's really frustrating for him.

* Oh and his csat can't get wet so I have been trying to keep a baggie over it when I take him out. Now I'm afraid he is going to pee on his cast in his cage so I wrapped it before I left for work.

* I don't have kids and now I know why. Murphy barks when I leave his sight. I'm sure kids are 110% worse to take care of. But at least eventually they can communicate with you besides barking and wagging a tail.
* I gotta go, alot of work to do.

This is an amazing story ...

2009-11-12T11:09:00.004-06:00

"The monkey had ripped off her entire upper jaw, had ripped off her nose, which as hanging by a thread. We found extensive dirt, chimp fur, and chimp teeth implanted in her bone." - EMS First Responder on the scene.

If you do not watch The Oprah Winfrey show you should at least youtube this story. Her face looks pretty bad but this woman's spirit is AMAZING. After I watched Oprah on my DVR last night I was almost in tears. This woman is so brave and positive. It's just a horrible tradgedy and she i making the best of it.

He is feeling better . . .

Murphy Saga Continues . . .

2009-11-09T09:53:00.004-06:00

That is Murphy's leg ...

So I get off at three on Friday afternoon and decided to walk a mile or so with my mom and neighbor. Murphy and Sadie followed us down the road. The neighbor dog went up to Murphy and with no warning attacked him. She shook him back and forth and then threw him in the air. I thought when he hit the ground he was going to be dead because I figured his neck was broke. He amazingly got up and hauled ass. I saw the whole thing happen. He was running but only on three legs. His back leg was twisted in the opposite direction and dangeling down. It was gross. I scooped him up, he was yelping, I was 1/2 a mile from home and all I could do was walk really quick. Anyways, we got him to the vet by 4:30 and he spent the night Friday night. I got to bring him home Saturday and Sunday and I had to return him for surgery this morning. Pins and plates in his legs. The doctor seemed to think he cold fix him. Please say a prayer for me. I am blessed to have neighbors like I do, they offered to pay for everything and even went with me to see the vet Saturday morning.

FRIDAY!!!!!

2009-11-06T11:16:00.003-06:00

* One of your peeps at the office brought this in a couple weeks ago. This feeder is between the Jack/Wise County line.

* I made my Pepaw a cheese cake last night. He fell in his cellar Wednesday night and hurt his arm really bad. No broken bones, just missing flesh. I figured the cheesecake would make him feel a little better.
* I also gave a pair of steel toe boots to a man that really needs them.

* I talked my mom into bringing me chinese food for lunch. YUMMY!!

* I started working out again. I am so proud of myself after I'm done. It's just getting motivated to get off my ass that's the hard part. I have a really good support system now so I feel confident, at least today.

* I spoke to the hubby this morning, he doesn't care about anything but deer, hogs, BEER and big horns, he is in deer lease mode.

* Is Bowie trade days this weekend?? I haven't been in years but it looks like it is gonna be a nice weekend and it sounds like alot of fun.

1/2 way to Friday !!

2009-11-04T10:47:00.005-06:00

* This week has been unusually busy.
* I'm so glad the Cowboys won. I hope we can keep it going.
* I really am getting sick of people talking about Michael Jackson. I never was a huge Michael Jackson fan and I understood all the hype when he died, but GEEZ people!! Get over it. I think if they handed that new movie out for free, I'd never watch it. It doesn't peak my interests at all.
* I am still debating an iPhone I just don't want to pay the extra service charge that goes with it ever month. It's ridiculous.
* I want to see the Hangover and My Sisters Keeper. Two opposite movies, but both look really good.
* Murphy has still been really good about staying home but when I left this morning he wasn't on the back porch. I'm sure he is safe but I almost turned around to search for him. If I did that every time I would go crazy.
* This weekend is opening day of deer season!! I think its gonna be a good year.
* I'm not ready for winter. In fact I would rather pass it all together and go from fall to spring.
* I broke a 100,000 miles on my car this week. I drive a 10 year old car because I don't have a car payment and it gets excellent gas mileage. We have a brand new truck at home we drive on the weekends and when we go out of town. Some people thinks that's crazy, but the way I look at it we are saving on gas and keeping the wear and tear and mileage down on our nice truck.
* I try to blog everyday if I have time, but sometimes I just don't know what the hell to say.
* We cooked a brisket this weekend. Hubby made his own rub and then put it on the smoker about 5:00 Friday afternoon. I took it off at 1:00 a.m. and then cooked it in the oven on low till about 5:00 Saturday afternoon. It was SO good. Fell apart while we were slicing it.
* The story of the three girls that ran their jeep in a lake and drowned. Something sounds strange about that story. The police say no alcohol was involved and there was no evidence the girls tried to escape. It just sounds bizarre that all three died from drowning and none of them struggled to get out??
* The guy with all the dead bodies stacked up in his house. GEESH!!!! I told you there are Crazy ass people out there. It really makes you wander about everyone. Everyone has skeletons in the closet, but not literally!!!
* I'm done for now, I gotta get some work done.

Down hill from here...

2009-10-28T16:34:00.003-05:00

* I would shit myself if my husband did the above to me! But it is funny!

* OK, I made pork chops last night and put turkey gravy on them. It was SO good!

* I went to Walmart today. I really dislike Walmart but I didn't have a choice. I had to go. I got me some really cute Ugg boots though and some major stuff to touch up my Halloween costume.

* I ate Taco Bell with one of my sisters today. It was ok, I guess.

* I love the new Kelly Clarkson song Already Gone. It's a really pretty ballad.

* I need to go and buy dog food. I forgot to add it to my list before I went to wally world.

* My prayers are with the family from Forestburg. Such a tragic accident.

* I try and pray every single night before I go to sleep, but sometimes I dose off into sleep on the night prayer. I think Jesus understands.

* We need to buy a new lawn mower. We used my neighbors all year and it's time to quit borrowing and buy one of our own. I just don't want to spend the money!

* I'm getting really pumped for deer season this year!

* I still need to buy me a new camera.

I have GREAT NEWS!!

2009-10-27T13:21:00.004-05:00

* I can't believe it myself, but I got Murphy back last Friday!! I was SO excited. Someone had picked him up and saw the flyers I had made. I cannot tell you how happy I was. He is like a child to us. I'm very grateful the lady that had him took very good care of him and called us.

* I am making my costume out of colored duct tape this year, wish me luck. It should be interesting.

* I dont ever think you are too old to dress up. Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. You can be whoever you want to be.

* I think I'm gonna make grilled porch chops for dinner tonight.

I am really bummed out...

2009-10-20T09:17:00.004-05:00

I'm so bummed. We lost our first born over the weekend. I have called the shelter, I have been door to door, and I don't know what else to do. It's devastating. We don't have children, we have dogs. We had Murphy for seven years. I hope he is alive and we get him back soon, but it don't look promising. He went missing during the day and nobody knows what happen to him. He just disappeared. We can't find even a sign that he may have been hit by a car or attacked. My last resort is to post an add in the paper under lost dogs. Any other suggestions, please let me know.

I keep telling myself someone has him and he is ok, but people can be crazy and cruel. All I can think is everything happens for a reason.

:(

Ready to rock and roll...

2009-10-16T10:11:00.003-05:00

* OK, it is bad enough that the kid puked on national tv. But you have to watch the Dads face when his son vomits. He looks like he was about to lose it himself. SO FUNNY! This story is golden in so many ways. It just keeps getting better and better. Thanks BG for the link.

* I have been trying to find a really unique Halloween costume. No luck. Why can't I find one that I like?? I go through this every year.

* I really wanna pimp the party out this year so I'm trying to think of some cheap ways to do that.

* It was SO cold in the office this morning. I got my freeze on.

* My first born almost got hit this morning. I think he is getting Alzheimer's.

* I cannot believe Christmas is around the corner. I love buying gifts for people, but I hate trying to figure out what to buy them.

* No plans this weekend which is cool, because after this weekend we have plans almost every weekend till after New Years.

* Any suggestions for a homemade Halloween costume. I came up with a white shirt painted P and a black eye (black eyed P) and I got the "your a dumb ass look" from everyone. hmm... I thought it was a cute idea.

2009-10-13T10:51:00.005-05:00

* I watched the DJ AM Gone Too Far Series last night on MTV. I had mixed feelings about it, but for the most part it was very, very sad. Just to know that he was trying to make a difference and save other people while struggling to fight his own demons was a little tuff to watch, but for the most part I'm glad MTV is airing the series and hopefully it helps addicts get the help they need.

* I have a twitter account, but rarely use it.

* I have two nephews birthdays coming up - 1 will be 5 the other will be 2, both boys. Any birthday gift suggestions for a two and five year old?

* 12 funny roller coaster pictures.

2009-10-09T10:06:00.004-05:00

* Ok, so I get a call from someone last night saying that the "planets are all aligned tonight, get your broom sweep from north to south and it will stand up straight by itself." My first thought was - "lay off the crack pipe". But, I tried it anyways... and it WORKED!!!!!!!! Craziest ass thing I have seen in a long time. Even after the storms last night it was still standing this morning. I didn't touch it cause I wanted to see how long it would stay up by itself. You could actually feel the gravity pull when you let it go. Try it and see if it still works. Here is the picture to prove it.

* I'm glad it is Friday, but I really don't have any major plans this weekend.

* I think I want a new set of golf clubs for Christmas. I never thought I would enjoy golf, but in the past year in a half I have really been into it. It's something fun to do with my other half.

* I hope everyone has a great weekend!
