FloRida

So who else is disappointed in Bret Michaels' final pick!? I certainly am. He totally picked the WRONG girl. I think Mindy truely loves Bret, and it's obvious that Taya is just going to use him for her gain. The reunion show tonight was crazy and sad.
So where'd the weekend go....it was friday night, then next thing i know it's monday morning and my alarm is going off at 5:45AM, boo! I did have a good weekend though, dont get me wrong. Friday was an absolute brain fryer. I needed to leave work right at 5:00, and it always seems like when you need to leave on time, you never can. So i ran outta work right at 5:15 and flew home (45 seconds of a drive) because my mom was waiting for me to drop off my sister. We had a fun night and played LIFE, and watched lots of hannah montana and went and ate happy meals @ McDonalds. Haha, it was fun =)
I attempted to sleep in Saturday morning, but she decided to wake up at 4:41!?! Who does that on a Saturday morning, lol. So after tossing and turning and rolling around, I finally decided to get up around 7:30. We watched more Hannah Montanta, then i made breakfast for us. Cheesy eggs and bacon and V8 Splash, mmmM! I was gonna go tanning, but ran outta time because she is addicted to my TV. So, I took her back to my parents house against her will, and I headed to Mentor.
I love Plato's closet, to go shopping. BUT, dont ever try taking any clothes there.....they are so picky, and then they say, they have too many jeans to take anymore right now. Sure, whatever. I had brand new jeans, maybe worn once, that they wouldnt take. I'll take them to the Erie Plato's closet, bet they'll take them. Maybe this upcoming weekend I'll make an Erie roadtrip and swing by Thiel too! So, I literally shopped til i dropped, or more like my arm fell off. It was such a beautiful day and Mike was working, i decided to stop back at my parents house to spend the afternoon outside with my sister. We spend the whole afternoon outside! Took a long walk to our pond and got in a fight with a snapping turtle, haa. Played wiffle ball and badmitton(sp?)....and just spent time outside....which was so enjoyable. Especially compared to the rain and cold today!
Saturday night I spent with my love =) I ended up getting a headache and didnt feel like staying up that late.
Went to church on Sunday. Had Arby's for lunch...mmm! I am truly a fat kid at heart, i love junk food and fast food wayy too much! Spent some time over @ Mike's parents house then went back to his house and spent some good time together :) We took the doggies for a walk even though it was getting chilly, it was still a nice walk. I am excited for this Summer to start working out again with Mike and running again. I sure do need to get back into shape ;)
And then somehow, it's already Monday night. Time flies too fast lately. I guess that means I am having fun, right? True, all but work is fun, lol. Work isn't not fun, but you know what i mean.

American Idol is on tomorrow night, and I am looking forward to it for some reason.

Bills suck, I was paying some tonight and realized how much money I could have if I didnt live on my own and, say, lived with Mike instead. I'd have quite a few more digits in my accounts. But I am trying not to rush things and be patient......which is very difficult at times! What girl doesnt just want to get married to the guy she knows is the one for her and start their family already? But i know it is very important to be patient and make sure the feelings are mutual....which i am prettttty sure they are!

So my brother's wedding plans have changed yet again. Now, they are looking @ FloRida for their wedding. That'd be cool with me, a wedding and vacation, works for me! I'm excited for them and because i didnt think i was getting a vacation this year. So maybe I'll get one after all.

My neighbors are moving out soon. I wonder who my new neighbors will be. Hopefully they dont smoke. These old neighbors smoke like chimneys, and although you cant smoke in the apartments, its like the smoke resinates out of their beings. They are like walking cigarettes. The landlord offered me their apartment, because it's 2 bedroom and bigger, but honestly, I dont think repainting or shampooing the carpets or anything would deodorize that smoke smell from that place. It would need some seroius airing out, and even then, I dont want to deal with that. I am glad i got rid of that bad habit before it turned into anything too serious. Everyone at work smokes, and at times, when i am suuuuper stressed, it's tempting. But there's no way I could live with myself like that. I just look at everyone around me, and realize it's dumb and makes you unhealthier. There are plenty of things that make our lives unhealthly, why add to it knowingly? Ya know?

I need to go to Walmart. I was looking in my cupboards tonight, trying to decide on what to make for dinner, and I didnt have very many options left. I ended up getting some meatballs outta the freezer that i had made a couple weeks ago and froze the extras, and heated those and made some spaghetti. Mmm, I love pasta. I also ate some corn, I've been craving corn alot lately. I opened a can of cream corn the other night, and ate the whole can, haha. It tasted sooo good.

Red Bull or coffee. Both sound good for tomorrow morning. I have coconut creamer to use up though. Coffee it is. Depending on the day, it might be a Red Bull afternoon kind of day. But then again, I might seriously have a heart attack if I have that much caffeine. I better watch it.

already so tiiired and 6:30 will be here way too soon. at least i have sweet music on my alarm to wake up to....Star Trek Voyager, haha =) i am such a nerdd......

it's already wednesday! :)

Tomorrow is already thursday, how glorious! This week is flying by. Probably because it has been super busy at work this week. The other girl that works in my department has been out all week and just found out she has been assigned bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy --- and she is only 6 months so far! That's a heck of a lot of bed rest and means I get a lot more work and my orders will probably double. Mind you I am to be training the newest hire and assisting her all day with questions and things. Totally do-able, lol. I just have to keep focussed on organization and prioritizing ;) And, I need to be scheduling my trip to the akron pmc. I found out I am going down there for a couple days for some training and what not. I'm excited, cuz that means being outta the office for 2 days and travelling expenses on the company, woot. I was supposed to have a meeting with my boss on monday and it has been rescheduled every day now, hopefully we get this meeting outta the way tomorrow!

So after work today, I went to a few places and gathered some things for mike's "good luck" basket of "brain" food :)
He has a huge test tomorrow morning for his next Cisco certification. Good luck baby!!!

So while he has locked himself in his office studying like a mad man, I have been watching bret michaels rock of love bus tour episodes. Mindy is such a whining skank! I wonder if I had the offer for that type of show what I'd do, lol. Taya is a skank too, freakin stripper, haha.

Friday will be fun. My little sissy is coming over to my place to spend the night. It has been too long, and we need a girls night :) I miss living @ home with her!

I got a new pair of jeans and can't wait to wear them to work on friday! Yay!

I am getting hungry. Think its time to go get dinner started. Steaks and french fries, my heavenly dinner :) I am a fat kid at heart and loooove french fries sooo much.

Ta ta for now!

slap a skank

Too bad they didn't have National Slap a Skank day. Too bad it wasn't today, because I would have slapped two @ work,hah. They drive me caaaazy! Oh well, I can only control my reactions not how they act. Gotta keep reminding myself. I have this great quote on my desk about life being 10% something another and 90% reaction. So true...wish I could remember the 10% part, it'd make the quote sound so much better! But u get the point :)

I haven't been so great on blogging daily. Do you check this daily or have you already forgotten about it? Has anyone else found or read this too?

So this snow!?!! - let's just hope it's the last one for the month. It is spring now - no more snow! I would even take rain over snow right now. As long as it is warmer :)

So I got my federal refund :) The govt managed to mess up my name on the check. Imagine the govt messing up!? Anyways, the bank didn't give me a hard time tho because they all know me from when I worked there forevvver :). I miss working there sometimes. But then again glad I moved onto better things. So besides putting like 500 extra to principle on my car loan I just put the majority to my savings for now. Maybe when I find those random things that I want but can't justify spending money on, I will use some refund money on instead. Or it may just continue to sit in my savings, that can't and won't hurt! I think I still might check out walmarts glasses even though I ordered a pair from sears.

I have a bad habit of snacking on things when I get home from work. And I have the oddest cravings lately. I have been wanting chinese sooo bad lately, but I am waiting for sears to call and say my glases are in so I can get chinese from jefferson when I have to go to ashtabula. I cannot justify driving all the way to jefferson just for chinese. But back to my snacking problem. I freaking love wheat bread. It was one of my worst weaknesses. I know it sounds really strange, but give me wheat bread and some butter, and I will love you! The amount of mixed nuts and/or cashews that I consume weekly is insane. I think with the amount of nuts I buy I should own a small portion of Planters Peanuts, haha. And last but not least, my biggest oddity, I love to eat raw elbow macaroni. All of these bad snacking habits combined is like probably at least 5 to 10 pounds I could do without. But what can I replace these with or what can I replace that time with? Any suggestions? I have two workout plans sitting on my end table...collecting dust, lol. I lack motivation, simply put.

Tomorrow is wednesday...which means the afternoon shouldn't be too bad w/ dr's offices having half days. I think my to do list has crept back up towards 25, so I have a nice list of things first thing in the morning, oooofie. 90% reaction and must keep in mind perspective analysis :)

I miss my mike. He has worked late the last two nights and has work scheduled late tomorrow night too. Hopefully we are going to wing night thursday. And I think I heard there are two new offices on this week also. Or was that a dream I had? I have been having a lot of dreams lately that I think are real life. Odd.

So you ever see some people and wonder why they are single? Like you see them and think they are attractive, but yet they are always alone and have no ring on their hand. Well yeah, I wonder that sometimes about people I see.

I am like so restless tonight. Feels like I just chugged a redbull and could jump back out of bed and run around, lol. It is getting late tho, past ten now. And my body is addicted to sleep and lots of it per night, or I cannot function the next day.
I bough some coconut creamer tonight, but forgot to bring home my coffee travel mug from work, left it on my desk, booo. Will have to wait til thursday to try it out. Sounds delicious though :)

American Idol was good tonight. Sad to say, but I think it is the blind guys turn to get kicked off. He is good and all, but just isn't on the same level as the rest.

Man does my stomach hurt. I don't even know why I ate dinner. I feel sooo fat. And I am suuuper thirsty, I think I am going to have to get back out of bed to get more water. I did forget to turn on my humidifier too.

Well, let's hope for no snow in the A.M.!!! :)

catching up

So I have founf I am not so good at keeping up on this blog! Life is honestly way too busy lately - will it ever slow down? I have started goin into work between 6:30 and 7:00 to help get things caught up. And I don't honestly see in the near future getting caught up. And I usually stay until 5:30 or later. Oofie. At least it's a decent paychech with all the overtime. But close to 10 hours a day can get old fast. So then I get home and have to decide about dinner. And usually around that time mike is finishing up work for the day or getting back to the office. So that leaves like an hour maybe two for him to come over. Because then he has a 20 minute drive home after picking up the dogs. Nights lately just don't have enough time. He is going out of town for work tomorrow and won't be back until late thursday :( Time to dig out my teddybear to cuddle with, haha.

So I think my last blog left off around saturday night. Sunday was nice...I slept soo good and did not even wake up until 10ish, which never happens even when I try to sleep in. But I was one tired girl! I think I finally got outta bed about 11ish. I founf some beef jerky in the fridge and entirely wayy too much of it, lol. So I hadn't played Legos Indiana Jones in a long time. I put the game in the xbox and turned it on and everything---i seriously couldn't get it to work, I was so mad. So I restarted everything and my players still were not responding. I thought about waking mike up. But he was tired and wanted to sleep in. I finally just gave up and watched some TV. I watched that show on MTV where they beat up bullies - it was pretty hilarious and satisfying for some reason.

American Idol was awesome tonight. This Osbourne show looks kinda dumb though. I gotta get to bed soon anyway, so I can be somewhat with it when I wake up at that ungodly hour of the morning.

Monday was monday. And today was Tuesday, lol. Tomorrow is April Fools Day. I hope I don't get too many stupid calls at work! I just wanna get work overwith tomorrow already. Supposed to have a meeting with my boss in the afternoon to go over my progression and things. At least wednesdays afternoons are usually quiet because most doctors offices only work half days.

It was soo cold this morning, my equinox was completely covered in frost and had to scrape the windows. And then when I ran to the post office on my lunch break it was sooo beautiful and warm. I am ready for summmmmer!!!

I made some goood meatballs tonight and spaghetti, and I make extra for lunch tomorrow, mmm. Maybe I will call walmart tomorrow and have them get my prescription too so I can go check out their selection after work. Although I don't know their hours, suppose I should find that out first.

That's all for now -- goodnight :)

the weekend

So - weekends are just never long enough! This was a good weekend as usual though. Friday flew by at work which was nice. We had the windows open and it was such a tease because it was so beautiful outside. We had a mock firedrill in the morning which was quite a big joke, but at least an excuse to go outside and get away from my desk.
So friday night after mike came back from car shopping with his parents we went out to his house. We didn't stay up too late. Steve was over so we played some guitar hero and had a few beers. We both had to work saturday morning.
So saturday we couldn't get outta bed. I am always the first one out of bed, but it took a while for me to get up. I wanted to be to work like at eight thirty...but it was more like nine thirty, oh well because I got a crap load of work done and it felt great. Working on saturdays always is nice due to the fact that the phone isn't ringing non stop. Actually doenst ring at all on saturdays besides those random people who know my extension, but they get my voicemail on the weekends. My boss was pumped when I told her my progress @ noon when she left. I worked til like 2ish, so I can't wait to tell her how much more I got done after she left. I am a dork like that and for some reason find a lot or too much satisfaction out of working and getting a lot done, lol.
So then after I had enough at work I went home and took a shower. Mike came and picked me up and we headed to ashtabula to sears because I wanted to look at glasses. We got to sears and I was pumped for the 2 for 99 sale...until I founf out that the 2 for 99 sale only applied to a certain brand of glasses which had like 5 styles to choose from, none of which I liked. And I called sears like around 10 to ensure that they were going to call my optomotrist and obtain my prexcription. I found out that they "tried calling but no one answered", whatever. So I made the decision to screw the 2 for 99 sale and just pick out one pair that I really liked and looked good in. So with mikes assistance I finally decided on one. And the tag was 99. So I wasn't so disappointed that I couldn't get 2 for 99. But then the stupid lady at the counter was like, "oh these are 169.00 - for the lenses also". ok, so that's fine. I figured they could write down the glasses I want then call my eye doctor monday morning and get them ordered. The dumb beeyotch couldn't understand that simple request I had, so now I think I will just either look at the selection my eye doctor has or go check out walmart sometime and see what they have.

We just started a movie -- that zack and miri movie about making a porno or something. Sometimes I wish there was nother girl in this house! Two guys are too much at times, lol.

So back to saturday. We left sears, I found a new purse finally, at payless. I am so excited to finally find it, I loves it! We got some pretzel bites and lemonade :) It was pretty tastey! So we left ashtabula and headed back to andover to my apartment. I got my laundry and crap together and we headed to jamestown. We seriously drove all over the world on saturday. Carriage house is a scheduled stop like every two weeks unfortunately. I am thinking this isn't going to be such a ritual in a few years, at least I can hope? I'll see.

Omg. Oust tastes nasty, yuck.

So saturday night was a long one --- but a good one. Played a lot of rockband and drank a lot of lime diet coke with coconut rum. I love parrot bay coconut rum. It is like heaven in a bottle. Mmm! So like by one I was passed out on the couch, that's pretty late for me, haha. I am such an old lady when it comes to sleeping and driving!

It is really windy and rainy outside and it is really loud. This zach and miri movie is really dumb and of course mike loves it. Like he hasn't stopped laughing since it started. It is sooo gay!

So no more blogging for the night, I will have to catch up the rest of the weekend some other time, I am tired and hope this movie ends soon.

Goodnight :)

STONES

So this is going to be like two days into one blog. I was too tired last night and didnt type one, obviously. So the coffee/cappucino was a bad idea. I didnt get any in the morning because i mixed up some propel water before i left for work. But i went on my lunch to get some. So I went to McDonalds and I forgot that they have changed their whole coffee thing to that new cafe style. So i paid like $3.29 for a large vanilla cappucino, i was really craving it, so i figured might as well get a large. Got it thru the drive thru, went back to work, ate my lunch in the lunch room, drank a little of it. It wasnt as good as usual since they changed things around. But whatever, it still was drinkable. Let me just end this long rambling and say i proceded to spill the majority of it...I stood up to go back to work and had everything in my hands, and somehow, the cappucino went flying in the air, spilled all down the front of me, got all over my blackberry, then fell on the floor, the lid flew off and at least 2/3 of it dumped onto the floor. I was so bummed/pissed.

So, today, I thought coffee was a good idea. I was needing something to wake me up a little this afternoon and make the afternoon go by faster. But I made propel this morning and forgot about coffee. So I went on my lunch today and grabbed a large coffee. And wouldnt you know, I freaking spilled that one too @ lunch when I got back to work. I guess I'm just clumsy, gosh.

Two new people hired at work --- things might finally start getting better around there in a few months...after they get their training done, so we wont be so short staffed.

So I might go to this thing tomorrow night with Mike...I guess he is serving beer or something with Bill. But I'm only going if Mike's mom goes...because I dont know if I can be with Mike where he'll be and I don't wanna sit by myself or whatever. However, Mike might have to work down in southern ohio, so i might not be going at all.

I think I'm getting new glasses this weekend -- at least picking some out and getting them ordered. I got my state tax return and that'll be enough for a couple pair of glasses....i'm still waiting on my federal! That one will be niiice. Shopping spree...yes? haha

I am super slow at typing --- i get distracted by the TV. American Idol is over so i'm gonna get ready for bed. goodnight =)

Sticks

So today wasn't as bad as I was figuring it would be. I had a bad case of the monday morning blues that weren't easy to get rid of. I think I was miserable up until a tennish. I even had a red bull this morning. Coffee sounds sooo good for some reason; I am definitly stopping @ mcdonalds in the morning for some, even though work has all the free coffee I could ever want, lol. Maybe I'll get a vanilla cappucino instead, mmm. But back to today --- it really want too bad -- I got nearly 25% of my to do list knocked out all while getting my new things done. The only thing I need to get to is my personal improvement plan. I need to get that thing bammmed out, ha. I think tomorrow night will be best for that, mike is supposed to be working late.

Sometimes, why do people act like they have a stick up their butt, all day!? Actually I should rephrase that --- ehy do people act like they have a freaking huge log up their ass, which is eggsactly what they are acting like. Oofie, people.I have never talked to someone who is so picky over the color of their commode! Honestlt people - the govt is already paying for this thing for you - it is delivered to your door already assembled, and u have the nerve to say that the shade of gray doesn't match your carpet...deal with it! Hhaha, but that's all you can do is laugh at them when you're done talking to them.

Dinner was really good. Steaks on the grill seasoned with montreal steak seasoning & home made fries -- definitly fatttening, o well. Have to splurge now and then!

I am excited to get the pictures from sears - they turned out really nice! I need to borrow the cd from my mom and put them on my laptop. I have another excuse to go over there anyways---my state tax return came back already! I think I'll use that one to get some new glasses. Sears has two pairs for 99.00 sale---frames and lenses:::sounds like a good deal!!

I should check the weather this week - I hope its gonna be nice weather from here on out, afterall, it is spring now! :)
I could actually start walking to work soon-it was pretty nice this morning.

My feet are cold-i forgot to put a pair of socks on-and don't feel like getting back outta bed for them-altho I always sleep better with socks on-even on in the summer. I am wierd like that and sleep with like 5 blankets on my bed all year round. I like being comfy and warm! :)

All thid talk about my bed is making me even more tired-goodnight!
