Short Timers

I have that syndrome. You know, the one where your close to being done with something, or something is close to being over and you're just antsy as all get out? Yup, I have it. BAD! I have 4 days left at CWF and they are dragging and I'm so antsy. It'd be different if we were busy and my mind stayed occupied, but we're not and it doesn't.

I'm scared but also excited to start my new job. Scared b/c its something different. I'm sure I can do it, and that I'll do it well, but it's still new. New is different. New is scary. Yet exciting. I'm so ready for new.

Passionate Kisses

These are what every woman wants. Oh, and we don't want them to lead to sex or to get them only during sex. Jason and I were talking about this the other night. Let me re-phrase, I talked Jason listened. One thing that we've been very good about is keeping passion in our relationship. I have always said I don't want to be one of those couples that just exist together. I don't want to be old, gray and wrinkly living with with an old man who burps, farts, and has hair growing out of his ears. I want to still be in love. I want to be that gross old couple on the beach that can't keep their hands off each other and ruin all the young people's vacations. I expect, demand and have received that passionate love.

Until recently....

We've been in a funk. No real reason. Well, I guess life is a reason. Work, schedules, stress, kids, oh yea, did I mention life? We haven't made time to just be together. Just us. We used to, but we got out of the habit. Such is life. On Friday we went to dinner, it was nice. Not at first though. At first it was awkward, uncomfortable, and down right awful. Had we made a mistake? Was the 10 years of passion just luck? A fluke? I hoped not. He hoped not. Yet we were still silent........

Finally the dam broke. Words, emotions, hurt, happiness, thoughts, desires, memories spilled out. We talked, and talked, and talked, like we hadn't talked in years(okay, months!) We talked about some stuff that I had said that hurt him, and of course I had no clue. We talked things from my childhood that he never knew. We talked about my feelings of inadequacies, and how I deal with them, or don't deal with them.... Along with all these words came the passion. The passion that had been on hold for a few months, the passion that I prayed was still there but couldn't find. Jason and I are not normally the type of people that hang on to stuff. We say what we have to say, we get it out in the open, and we move on. We don't get mad at each other often, and when we do, we don't stay mad..because we talk about it. We hadn't been talking, that was our problem. We had put everything else before us, so there was a failure to communicate. One thing that cannot exist in a successful marriage is a failure to communicate. You have to make a plan, a schedule, a time to communicate. And we weren't, we were letting it slip to the side. We've learned our lesson.

SOOOO.........

I got new panties.

I bought a size too big.

Nothing is more annoying then walking and having your panties slide down your butt.

'Cept having to stick your hands down your pants to pull them up.

IT'S A BOY!

That's right! At 5:11 this morning Staci gave birth to beautiful baby boy. Morgan Eugene Thompson weighed in at 9 lbs and 7 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long! I am going to the hospital this evening to visit, so there will be pictures later:)

Today was good

I worked, but I was out of there by 2. YIPEE!! Misty and I took the girls to payless to BOGO and I got some super cool shoes. They have orange in them:) Then sister and I dropped the young off with friends and we hit the road. Sister time. We went and got pedicures and our eyebrows waxed. Then headed over to Arlington to go to Dirty Dillards for some shopping. Sadly, they were closed by the time we got there. So we went to recollections, target, and got some yummy dinner instead.

Tomorrow we will be heading back to D.D. They have an extra 50-75% off their already 75% off prices! Sweet!

I'll post pics of my goodies tomorrow. My shoes are super cool, and so are my new scrap supplies:)

She's not going to die!

We know this. All rational viewers know this. It's Grey's Anatomy for crying out loud, but that does not mean we are not on the edge of our seats. It does not mean our hearts don't ache. I know. It's a show, but it's my show! And right now, I hate Izzy. She was my fave, but what she said to George was just ugly and hurtful, and I don't believe it. I think Callie is awesome and good for George. A lot better than toxic Meridith was. Anyway....enough of fake life. Back to reality....


I GOT THE JOB!

Yup, I got it! They called me yesterday and offered it to me. Woo-Hoo! Tomorrow I have to give my 2 weeks. I'm pretty excited. Saturdays..you know those days where people rest and hang out with family's and friends...I'm gonna have those!!! YIPEE!!!

I got to watch Veronica Mars! WOO-HOO! It feels like I never get to watch this show anymore and I LOVE it so much. I've missed a few. Logan and Veronica are broke up AGAIN! GRRR! But another person was murdered, so more storyline.

All is well. I'm feeling better. Not 100%, but better.

Later Gator

I did it!

I blogged everyday this week.

I rock.

I'm still sick.

Going back to home on the sofa......

My new BFF

Still Sick
Feel Like Crap
Nose Hurts From Wiping
Throat Hurts From Coughing

Sleep, Sleeping, Slept

That's pretty much what I have done today. I woke up this morning feeling like you know what. Coughing, sore throat, body aches, and lil bit of a fever. So I called in sick. This is the first time I have called in sick in the over 11 months I have worked for CWF. I don't feel bad about it. I even turned off my cell phone b/c I didn't want calls. I just wanted to rest. Which I did. Jason gave me nighttime robotussin at 8 so that knocked me out for awhile. Woke up, hung out watching TV for a bit, then took a bubble bath, and went back to bed for a while. Now I'm up trying to decide if we should make dinner or pick up pizza. Gotta love Little Ceasers $5 hot and ready pizza!

Hangin' with the sis tonight

See ya'll tomorrow :)

I don't really want to post today.....

but I did this damn challenge! GRRRRRR.

Anyway, feeling pretty crappy. Me and the sister are fighting. Well, sort of. When we fight we don't talk. We Blog Fight. It's so stupid. I think we are the only people that do it. For some reason when she's mad at me she won't say it. She hurt my feelings, I hurt her feelings......blah, blah, blah. I wish we could talk about it, but she can't. I don't know why. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with her. If I ask to many questions, I'm nosey and judgemental. I back off and let her have her space and I'm ignoring her and sitting on the computer all the time. I can't mind read. I don't know what she wants. I don't know what to do. She loves me, at least I think she does. She once had these wonderfully kind words to say about me....

my hero is my big sister. that girl has it together and makes it look so easy. and i just struggle to be in her shadow. she's smart, funny, loving and tough. she always knows what questions to ask, who to ask and what to do. i wish i was more like her. sure would make my life alot easier.

We'll get through it. We always do. I wish we could talk and we wouldn't have to fight like this.

Well, the day STARTED out great.....

This was gonna be a good day. I felt it. Boy was I wrong!

I had an interview this morning. I really want the job. The company is great. The pay is a little less than what I make now, but I will not have to work Saturdays!!! Can I get a woo-woo! So looking forward to that. I'll keep you posted!

BUT.....

Then I went to work. One of my very good friends from one of the other stores got fired. No warning, no re-training opportunity. He came to work, put his key in the door, and it didn't work. His position had been terminated. I think it's b/c he's gay. One of the managers had made disparaging remarks about gays to another manager and mentioned his name. Totally sucks.

THEN.....

I read my sister's blog. It really hurt my feelings. We are so alike in some ways, and so different in others. It's weird. I guess all siblings are like that. I'll get over it. I'm pretty used to having my feelings hurt by now.

AND THE ICING ON THE MONDAY CAKE...........

I normally love mail. Not today though. We got a letter from DFAS. They finally got around to charging us for the car Jason wrecked. I had hoped they'd forgotten. They didn't. We now owe them $4,288.81 plus interest.

SO, HOW WAS YOUR MONDAY??????

Bad Blogger

I love blogging. I love reading blogs of others. It's great to know what's going on in the lives of my friends since I do not get to see them or talk to them every day. I love going to someones blog and seeing they have updated. What will they say? Is it going to be a big announcement? Will it be sad? Funny? Interesting? You learn a lot about people from their blogs. So why haven't I blogged? So that my friends can be happy when they see an update about my life. No reason. Just lazy and tired. I think about it, then I think about what I would say, then I don't do it. There are lots of people who read this blog that I don't know. Or I do know them, but they don't let me know they read the blog by leaving comments. Therefore I try to be politically correct. I don't want to hurt anyone, offend anyone, or blow a secret that another may not know. I also don't want to bore with frivolous info, or brag about my insanely smart and kids kids all the time. I don't want to complain or seem petty. So, what's a girl to do?

Just blog. If I offend someone. I'm sorry. If I hurt you feelings. I'm sorry. If you don't want to read info that will not not make you smarter, read another blog. Don't think my kids are insanely cute and smart? Seek life elsewhere. It's my blog. So I can do whatever I want. Yea, for me being a grown-up! I'll try to do better about blogging. I'm challenging myself to blog everyday this week. Even if it is just about my(boring) day. I also challenge the people who are regular readers of my blog to do the same. If you don't have a blog I challenge you to get one!!! It's such an awesome tool for staying connected(when properly updated.)
