Deep Thoughts

HAHA, just kidding.

I am not sure I have time for this stuff. I have much more fun on FB. It takes less effort. I enjoy reading your blogs but do not have time for it. I will not take this down but I doubt I will post very often. On the old blog when I started, I loved it and had a lot to say. Now I still have a lot to say but do not really feel like pouring it out anymore. Life is good, that's about all I got right now.

NEWS FLASH - we did get preapproved to buy a house and are going house hunting today!! SO EXCITED. :)

FAB TIME

I had a wonderful time in SD!! WOOHOOO!! got the pics to prove it too but not ready to go that route. If you know me well then you know where to find the pics! ;)

i have many big things coming my way. posting will be short and sweet I predict.

TOO BUSY TO POST

• less than 4 days I will be in Sunny San Diego


• I have a stuffy nose


• a friend is in the hospital with about a billion different issues - guess that is what happns when you are 80.


• it's cold here - barely 30


• my coffee is yumm yumm - add some ground cinnamon on top of your coffee grounds, right in the filter. So much better than plain coffee.


• work is BUSY BUSY.


• leaving you with this..................................

Wish I was on this swing instead of at my desk.

Weekend News

Above - my 5 year old taking random pics!

Friday night was a HOOT - celebrated my wonderful revenue at work (yes I am in sales/customer service for a HUGE court reporting agency). My revenue is the highest ever and that means CHA CHING for commission.



So on to the HOOT part - we went to our fave Mexican spot, where the margarita's are HUGE and very, very strong. I had very little to eat all day and started on one with some chips before dinner came. By the time dinner came I was feeling toasty. By the time I ate my dinner, I had sucked down the whole margarita and was totally smashed! I loved it, I never get smashed let alone off ONE drink!!



I love 'rita's and wine and occasionally a foreign beer but we are talking maybe a couple times a month and never enough to do anything.



However......the next morning my head was pounding!! YEOUCH!! But, by about 8 or 9 am after some water and some good headache stuff, I was right as rain.



We went too the mall and i got a sweet deal on some SPYDER ski pants. Original $150.00 - down to 99.99 with 40% off of that!! The clerk even said this is a HOT deal for SPYDER. Ok dude if you say so, I have never heard of the brand. We are taking a ski trip to crested butte in march with 2 other families.



Then - Saturday night more celebrating with some friends - Seafood, drinks and great conversation. Perfect night.



Sunday - lounging, laundry and golden globes.........OH and the best part 150 pages of Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. GOD I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!!

Sunrise in middle of no where Texas. Not feeling like much today. Have a great weekend.

Random thoughts........

My ticket to San Diego is booked, got a sweet deal on Southwest. Not my $$ but a great deal.

I am so excited to see all my friends and work friends, yet sad because there have been A lot of changes since I left. Some serious downsizing. IT SUCKS.

Just found out this AM that 3 of my favorite boys from the old office are GONE, laid off!

My big kid has a Trumpet competition coming up! He practices constantly...4 months ago he sounded like a sick moose or something. He is awesome now.

I realized recently that in a few weeks we have to get serious about house hunting...WOW

People in my corporate office are really stupid, don't get me started.

A girlfriend of mine illustrated a book and it ROCKS. Childrens book and it is about having 2 daddies. I hope her and her friend get it published. Controversial or just reality at this point?

I still miss my house in Indiana, it's been 4 years or will be on the 25th.

DAMN - that just brought on a whole new list of random thoughts.

But until next time........

I survived

The weekend turned out better than thought it would even with my friend flaking on our plans for Sunday........not even going there.

Saturday turned out great. We went to McDonalds for lunch (this is huge in the eyes of a 5 year old) and did grocery shopping and then spent the afternoon and evening at the neighbors. The boys and little girl of her friend played the night away while we sat in the kitchen drinking wine, munching on snacks and laughing our heads off about stupid stuff in our lives.

Sunday was cleaning, whining, laundry, whining and the park and more whining. Why is whining in there? BECAUSE EVERY THING OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS A WHINE. I have finally stated that I do not understand WHINE, talk normal. He does briefly.

The park was fun. It was only 40 something so we bundled up and walked. Played on the equipment and slides. Downside - getting shocked on those damn acrylic or plastic slides, down the slide and at the bottom when i landed through my shoes for crying out loud!! I have more static electricity in me than anyone else I know. DAMN THAT HURTS.

On the way home we took the long way and I gathered small sticks for the fireplace. Older son got home about 3ish and I noticed that little guys behavior was a bit worse with him home.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Today I am back to work and looking at freezing rain out my window, YUCK. Bright side......in about 2 weeks I go to San Diego for work!! WOOHOOOO!!!!!

Alone time

I truly enjoy my alone time. More than most people I think. I love getting out on my own for shopping or catching a movie alone. It is great sitting there watching a good flick with no one to bother you. Just you and the story and some great candy that you snuck in inside your big purse and maybe a bottle of water.

Then there is another kind of alone. An entire weekend alone with just one kid. The hubby and 12 year old are off on a hunting weekend and 5 yr old and I are ALLLLLLLL alone.

I love him dearly, BUT for the love of GOD he is a challenge.

I have already yelled at him today and they have only been gone for an hour and a half.

I will truly promise to try very very very very hard to not lose it this weekend. I hope to keep him busy and entertained but still have a little time to relax and enjoy some reading or a good lifetime movie.

If he would just listen, listen the 1st time and not the 2nd, 3rd, or 12th time of telling him to do or not to do something.

That is all I ask, is that really too much?
