Hmmmm....Decisions Decisions!

There is an ice cream truck outside my door right now but I don't have any change, so I will continue to salivate as I write my blog...Oh good, he guy finally pulled away...

This weekend has been busy but good. I truly got to relax. Friday night I was busy as always. I began claning the house, do laundry, iron and grocery shop...Which I completed all my tasks...

Saturday morning I worked but came home to eat lunch with Dave and send him off to work...I then continued to do a bit more cleaning....Then I went to bed...

Sunday has pretty much been lazy...I got a bit more cleaning to do but that can wait as I do not work on Monday...Today I took the time to be with David and my pets...I really miss laying under the covers with Beans and Elvis (Yes I know I do that at nigth too but it's different when you are actually awake and can actually enjoy that)

Dave is off at work catching the drunks...so watch out! Super Trooper is out and about it and they got their mean faces on as it is a holiday weekend!

Other than that not much is on! Dave finished registering us today with Carnival (all the legal mambo-jambo-passport-stuff) and we are good to go! for our anniversary we decided to give each other regular wedding bands which is highly needed!

That's it!
Hope everyone has a safe weekend and holiday. Please don't drink & drive!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

A lesson learned! I often get mad at people who make fun of other people for no reason, but today I drew a conclusion.....People who make fun of others are weak and are insecure about themselves or their lifestyles....so I will no longer be mad at them, just feel sorry for them that they haven't outgrown that yet and haven't matured enough to act as an adult!

Anyway, just a thought for the day! Many times events like this seem simple, but do teach us all a lesson, a valuable life lesson with which you grow as a person and mature, as we all become seasoned adults...

It broke again!

It has been a rather productive day! I got a lot accomplished at work and put to rest a couple of problem files...that always makes me feel good!

Our freezer broke again...well...not the freezer...our plug tripped again...so NO MO'!
It is time for a new plug.. Good thing all there was in there this time but a pound of chicken!

Tonight my mom and I are going to Rooms to Go to look for a new mattress...after that...we are off to Town East mall in search of a new comforter...Speaking of comforters, we still have not bought one for our bedroom...Maybe I can look for something tonight. I am not rushing into it, I want it to be perfect and to match our curtains in the bedroom.

My allergies are back, the last few days have not been good to me..I am taking 24 hour Alavert but it looks like I need to try an alternative!

Yesterday we had pouring down rain in Rockwall...It was so heavy and the winds were so strong that we lost power probably around 5 to 10 times within the hour..I was excited because I thought that there would be a good chance that Forney got some rain also...but, I was wrong, Very Wrong! No rain, not a drop!

Well, enough rambling...I shall go back and be productive,

Check out the Moon Tonight!



Taken at 9:00pm

Cartoons I grew up with! You don't need to know Russian!

Work Work Work!

Yep, so yesterday was David's last day off from his long weekend so we decided to actually do something productive....clean! We ate dinner which by the way was fabulous, David made home-made chicken tortilla soup and it was the BEST! Then we got to work! This list is quiete extensive for one night
~De-weeded the flower beds
~Killed/sprayed all ants outside
~Carpet washed 3 rugs in the house
~Cleaned all bathrooms
~Ironed Dave's uniforms
~Power washed outside windows and screen door
~And many little things got done, not worth mentioning...

Needless to say, by the time 10pm rolled around, we were both pooped and neither one of us hesitated to go to bed!

So, that is it....I got my passport last week so I am good to go...Sometime next week I will find time to get my social security card changed over....Apparantely there is no time frame for getting this done as there are no rules!

Ha! Lucky Me!

A Busy Weekend!

Wow! What a busy weekend! Friday at 5pm I dashed to Sulphur Springs to a rehearsal dinner (John & Sharla) Got done about 10pm or so and I drove back to Forney because Beans can't live without me and we were also dog-sitting so I needed to take the pooches outside for a pee brake...Also I had to work on Saturday morning so I drove...By the time I got into Forney, I was so tired, I don't even know how I ended up in bed with my pajamas on....it was surreal!

Saturday I worked and came home for what I thought might be to a 1/2 hr nap...NOT!
I remembered that my wedding ring was STILL at Zales and I needed to pick it up since I felt naked without a ring...So I went to Town East to get it, in the process I decided to buy a dress to go to the wedding....came home...took shower....got in the car and drove back to Sulphur Springs.

The wedding was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, decorations were awesome & elegant and Dave looked good in his tux. Dave's mom & dad helped with the wedding..Renee Armstrong (the lady who planned my wedding) planned Sharla's & John's...!

Sunday was just a blur! I went to work (Yes people, I do work 7 days a week) We were going to go to the pool to play volleyball but time was short...we haven't grocery shopped or cleaned house...or even got a chance to relax so we passed on the volleyball game!

We made home made "subway" subs for dinner and peach cobble for desert, watched some TV and went to bed! Yep, that's the whole weekend! Not much.....

Today I am ironing out my trip details. Tickets will be here this week, plane tickets are ready to go...Hotel room will be reserved by the end of the day and the suitcase check off list was made last week! So, we are in super good shape!

Not Much!

Well, not much is happening right now! David and I had a quiet evening at home. We watched TV, played UNO, piddled on the Internet and went to bed!

The dog and the cat got their manicures and pedicures done last night couresy of the Olga Foster Beauty Boutique... :)
Beans was good when I trimmed her nails and Elvis put up a fight so Dave held him down and I trimmed...All escaped un-injured! Elvis even got a 'brushing'....

Right now Dave and I are planning a mini-vacation to the Grand Canyon..Either in November or December. I would like to go there and see it in an unusual way...covered in snow!
In fact, we are thinking about going to the South Rim and take a mule ride down to the Colorado River (it's an all day thing) then you stay in this awesome lodge where they feed you steak and wine and then in the morning you make your journey back up to the top of the Rim...Yes it is cold but you've got to remember that when you are in the bottom of the canyon, there is no wind so even 30F does not feel like 30F.

So, that's the plan anyway for now...Things may change between now and then...Right now we are focusing on our trip to the Carribean which is 28 days away. Very exciting.

My sister in law is going to Hawaii in a week or so and I think she is just going to love it...Such an experience...Such beauty!

Well, I need to go and visit a couple of clients....I am outie!
