I Hate Socks

I hate socks. I've come to that conclusion after just doing the laundry. Socks just suck. Number one, I'm one of those kind of people who take them off at the drop of the hat and then somehow just one of them gets lost. I think there's a black hole somewhere in this house that sees them and wants to taunt me by just taking one, leaving just one and making me wonder and ponder what's become of it's pair. I have a whole little section on top of the shelf by the washer and dryer comprised of lonely socks, hoping that I'm going to find it's sole mate but somehow, they never seem to turn up.

If that wasn't bad enough, I just hate dealing with socks at laundry time. It's annoying to have this huge pile of socks that I have to dig through to match up and then fold nicely together in those little balls. I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you for listening. I feel much better now.

Just waiting for Friday

Boy did this past week go by fast! So far I got everything that I need to get done before I leave to go see my kiddies up in Wisconsin. I paid all my bills, bought new bundies, (I got this from mom, she used to always make sure I had new undies before we went on vacation anywhere!)cleaned the house, made out my packing list and took care of all those little odds and ends that needed to be done. Now I am READY! I wanted to get my hair cut and highlighted but I don't think I will. I still haven't decided what style I want so I think I'll just wait for now. It's just that it's so darn hot and I think I may be getting too old for having long hair. I need something new. After all I wore my hair the same way since I was about 14 years old! Any hoot, all I have to do now is wait until Friday comes so I can head on out to the airport and get on that plane. I really really really am in dire need of a vacation right now! They are killing us at work and the stress is just building up right now. I can't wait to get away from that place, even if it is for just 11 days. I am going to miss Honey and Willie. I always have a hard time leaving Honey for any length of time. Especially now since she hasn't been feeling well. Her nose is still plugged and everyday I have to clean out her one nostril because she gets dried up boogies in it. I'm going to try and get her into the vet on Thursday or maybe even early Friday before I leave. I'm starting to get a bit worried about her. I don't want to go on vacation and not be able to relax because I'm worrying about my little Honey Bunny back home, you know what I mean? We'll see how that goes.
I'm going to try to keep this blog updated even while I am in Wisc. That way Scott will be able to read and see what I am up to daily. I sure wish he was coming with me! They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder so maybe it will be good to spend a little time apart. I miss him already just thinking about it. Don't worry babe.....I won't be gone too long. Just when you go to bed at night, call Honey up on my side of the bed and it will feel like I am right there with you. You'll rub your feet against her and you will think it's my legs. Yeah, so I haven't shaved in a while, SO WHAT?
Well that's all for today. I want to get some scrapping done before I go to bed. I have a nice clean, organized room that's calling out to me right now. I think I am going to work on some beach pictures. I have a lot of ideas in my head right now and I want to get to work while I'm inspired. Gotta go!

No Time

So I was all ready to write about something today when I got carried away with talking to my dear sister online who has been gone away to Wisconsin for the last...oh....6 months or so. OK so that's exhagerating a little bit but it sure does seem like that long! We ended up chatting for awhile and now it is time for me to go and get ready for work. I told Holly that I would send her some reading material, so she'll just have to read what's up here for now. Hi Holly! (jumping up and down waving my hand to Holly!) Hopefully I will have time to write tomorrow along with some pictures. I just learned how to add photos to this blog so I'll have some fun with that! Y'all have a great day and try and keep cool! Leave me a message if you will. It's good to see a comment or two left behind!

Absolutely Fabulous

Has anyone ever seen this British Comedy show "Absolutely Fabulous? It is so friggin funny! You have two very eccentric women who are best friends who smoke cigarettes, do cocaine, smoke an occasional doobie and drink Champagne all day long. Neither one of them know how to do anything for themselves. Edina, is one of them who has a very normal daughter (the ONLY normal person in the bunch!)named Saffy. Edina doesn't like Saffy at all and neither does her best friend Patsy. Actually Patsy despises her. Saffy totally disgusts Patsy and Patsy isn't afraid to let anyone know it either. This is just a brief description of the characters in the show. If you have never seen it before you should watch it. It takes a little bit to get used to. You really have to watch an episode or two before you get to understand who and what the characters are all about. My brother Craig turned me on to this show a few years back. I went by his house one day and he called me in the living room and told me that I have to watch this show. I watched it and thought that it was kind of stupid all the while he was just laughing his ass off. Well this went on for a few days and the next thing you knew I was hooked! A couple times of watching it, Scott and the kids were hooked too! Well, to make a long story short, we cancelled our cable and no longer was able watch it. I had thought about the show a few times in the past and even got lucky and caught a couple episodes when I went by Lorries house one night. Well, I went to Best Buy this past weekend and seen that they had a 2 disc DVD of "Absolutely Fabulous", the Complete Series 5 and so I splurged and bought it. Again, it took a little bit to get used to but love it! It's like meeting up with old friends again that I haven't seen in ages! I missed this show so much and so now I am on the hunt to get the other 4 completes series. They also have new ones coming out on September 13th. I can't wait! I would like to one day own all of them. Just like all the "friends" series. These are two shows that have been my favorites for so long. So if anyone comes across these anywhere for a good price, think of me and pick them up. It'll make me a happy camper.

Retail Therapy

As you can see I am back up and running. (Bet nobody even noticed I was gone at all. Sniff sniff)
Any hoot... I was feeling a little down and out last week and so I took myself on a "little" shopping spree. After all, I needed to pick up some things for my trip in a couple of weeks and pick up a birthday present for Nichole. So while Scott was at work I took a trip to the mall. Now everyone knows how I hate the mall, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I was walking around Dillards and picked up the pair of Rainbow sandals that Nicki had been wanting. While there, I found a pair of cute black shoes that I had seen a couple months ago and regretted not buying and so I bought those too. Well, the purse department was right next to the shoes department and so I mosied on over there and found they had a good sale going on. Well, I can't pass up a good sale! So I found me a leather pocketbook I liked. Bought that too. What good is new shoes and a new pocketbook without something new to wear it with right? So upstairs I go to the womans clothing department. I head right to the clearance and low and behold I find a pair of Capri's and 3 tops that were priced just right for me and so I bought those too. I thought I'd better get ouit of this store because I am spending waaaay to much money in here and so I head on down to another department store. What is that I see? A sale? I better go and check it out. It's safe to look because I never find nothing I like in this store anyway. Wrong. Found a couple more tops that were just to good a price to pass up. And plus they went well with the Capri's, shoes and purse I just bought so what the hell, I bought those too. I thought I'd better head on home because I didn't want to get stuck in the rush hour traffic so I start heading back and naturally I had to stop at Lane Bryant while passing it on my way out. There I buy 3 more tops, well one was for work so I NEEDED that one, so that doesn't count. OK here I go. If I don't leave now I'm going to get stuck in traffic. Wait.....theres INK bookstore. Let me just see if they have the new issue of scrapbook magazines in yet. Yes they do! Yippee! Which to choose from......I hate making decisions! Can't think... Can't think.....screw it......take them all. NOW I am finally headed for the car to get home and what happens? There's traffic up the ass. That's ok though because my feet are tired from all the walking I done. Once home I show hubby all my purchases! He just smiles and see's how happy I am and doesn't say a word. Bless his heart. He's the best! Well, I'm still not done spending money and so I ask Scott, "Honey do you want to take a ride to Best Buy with me? I want to look at computers." Sure. He'll come with me. So off we go. Well, needless to say we didn't just "look". We ended up buying a whole new computer, some software, batteries and battery charger, more memory for my camera and a couple other things we needed. Buy the time we got home I was completely exhausted! My feet hurt so bad, I was tired, thirsty, hungry and had a headache from hell! But you know what? I FELT GOOD! That is just what I needed!
