I love this song!

All day I have been thinking about adding this song to my blog. Tonight I come home and my sister has it on her MySpace! I hate what the song is about, just b/c it's every woman's worst nightmare. He sings it so well though, that you almost feel bad for him! Now that's a talented man.

When I'm away from the puter I can think of a billion things I want to blog about. I sit my bottom here in this chair and it all escapes me. Gone, out of my mind. I know there was stuff to share, but I can't for the life of me think of it! AGH!

First Day of School!

Finally school has begun! Everyone was ready. I'm not sure who was more excited, us or the kids. It's adds extra stuff to our day, but it is oh so worth it!

I can't believe I have a 2nd grader!

Notice Anything Different?

I have been playing with my template. I'm LOVING the changes. The bright colors are totally my personality. I still have to figure out how to get rid of that white stripe. I like the change of moving all the info to the left. It's something different. I feel like a true blogger now!

Do you know what this is????

It's the courthouse where Jason and I got married! I was looking up some info online and this just happened to be on one of the websites that came up. How cool is that? I haven't thought about that place in years.

So, guess what else? Jason got his first placement today! YIPEE! I'm so stinkin' proud of him. Industry standard is 1 in 8 in 90 days. Jason got 1 in 5 in 43 days:) He rocks! Not to mention the 1,100 commission that comes with it. Keep'em coming baby.

Hair

Okay, looks like Blogger is working again!
Tonight Elize and I went and had our girls night
and got our hair done! We are SO hot now!

Here is Elize before......

















Elize After! Isn't she so Pretty!
















My hair! I love it! It has light and dark
blonde hi-lites. At first I was freaked out,
but I love it now. She even gave me thsi cute
choppy cut to go with it!
















Who's a Hottie? I AM!!

Blog Issues

Not going to do a huge post b/c I don't know if anyone can see this. I got my hair done and it looks AWESOME! I'm so pleased!

Today is the Day!

Tonight I am getting my hair done! I can't wait!

Another Late Night Post!

I have a good reason tonight:

After work I went to hang with lou. Darius got hurt at football practice. At first we didn't know exactly what happened, Welton just went to meet the ambulance on it's way to the hospital. All we knew was he broke his leg, and they thought maybe he might have hurt his knee too.

After a few hours we found out that he broke his femur(sp?) on the growth plate. Thank God he was so tall already! Last I knew, there was no damage to his knee. Wheew! I brought Lil Wel home with me while Lou and Wel went back up to the hospital. Darius was going into surgery about 9:30.

Please keep Darius, Welton, and Katina in you thoughts and prayers. It's a scary time for all of them. Darius has been looking forward to football season for months, he is going to be devastated that he can't play.

I'm sure Lou will update everyone over the next couple of days.

Now, just because my sister made of me......

ANGEL......OUT!!!

Tuesday Tidbits

I know, it's late! It's still Tuesday though. I'm still good for my post a day goal.

***** To ensure I received VM Season 2 from netflix I deleted my whole Q, but those discs! I'll put it all back later, but I wanted to make sure I didn't get something else.

*****I made a hair appt. for Thursday. I will be getting a cut and highlights, I so need this pick me up.

*****I went and got my eyebrows waxed today while on break at work. While I was gone another store manager called for me. My assistant told him, " She went to get her bush waxed". He about died laughing! Poor Kim, she had NO idea why. Yes, I did go get my BUSHY eyebrows waxed! Note to self.....Teach Kim More American Lingo........

*****I'm working on making some blog changes. Let me know if you like!

Angel..........Out!

Post a Day

My goal is this week is to post once a day. Will it work? I don't know? I'm going to try.

Do you know what tomorrow is?

THE DAY VERONICA MARS SEASON 2 COMES OUT ON DVD

I LOVE this show! I enjoy watching it with every ounce of my being. Veronica is the coolest outcast ever. She doesn't care what people say, or think. This season she gets back in with the "in crowd", but she's so not one of them. Could Logan Eckles be any cuter? I mean really, he's wearing an orange shirt...a man after my own heart. I have this on my Q with netflix, but it says "short wait". If they do not mail it to me tomorrow I'm afraid I might have to go buy it myself. How dare they make me wait one moment longer? I've been waiting since May as it is!

This mag ROCKS. It is full of quizzes and questions to ask your friends and loved ones. The quiz I gave the kids last week came from here. Lou brought it out on Saturday and we had SO much fun answering the questions. There are some really thought provoking ones in there too. BTW, I will be making a circle journal for all my friends with some of the questions for my friends. You do not have to do a circle journal, but I do want you to do a page in mine. If you live far away, I will mail it to you, and you can mail it back. If you do not scrapbook(you know who you are!), you can just use a pen to write in your answers. I really want a comprehensive book of my friends. All of them!

That's all Folks!

Beautiful

I am so incredibly blessed with wonderful, thoughtful, insightful, wise, and beautiful friends. God was truly looking over me when he brought these women into my life. Last night was our Girl's Night Out(GNO). I have to admit GNO of yesteryear are gone. No longer is it bars, dancing, drinking and behaving badly. We are grown ups now, we can be young, have fun, and drink margaritas and still still be ladies! Last night we spent about 5 hours sitting at On the Border. It was great. Lou brought her new quizzes and questions book(which btw I had to run out and buy today!) and we sat around, ate, drank, and just asked each other the questions from this book. I have known all of these ladies quite awhile and I still learned some new and interesting stuff. It was great just BEING TOGETHER. We didn't do anything special, but be with each other and that was enough. We totally busted on our server who was AWFUL. By awful I mean, I had to go to the bar 4 times to get lou's coke refills b/c the woman never came to our table. After OTB we went to Friday's to see Sister, and get a little dessert. I got home at 1:30 and crashed hard.

So, here's the to beautiful women in my life. You are so SO special to me. I cannot even put into words the effect your presence has on me. Although, I know that coming from me it may not be the same as coming from others in your life: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, INSIDE AND OUT.

This is all of us at Fridays at the end of the night. Don't ask me why we didn't take this pic at OTB when the lip gloss was fresh b/c I have NO clue!

This is my girl Lou. I know! She's gorgeous! I love her so much. Never have 2 people spent so much time on the phone during company time as her and I. She is almost always my first call when something happens, good or bad. Mwah!

Nuna...I'm so lucky to be be related to this girl! She is my tree hugging, garden growing, organic friend. I am constantly amazed by her desire for all things natural(except light!) She is so freakin' cute it's not funny. This girl is incapable of taking bad photo, she looks fab in every photo I have of her. HUGS!

Melibelle~This girl is one of my many gifts that came to me directly from God. When we met we just {clicked}. We were both at crappy points in our lives, and God put us together to help get each other through it, and we did! Last night was the first time that I had actually *seen* her in almost a year. We had many a phone, text, and IM conversions in the past year though. I'm going to be a copy-cat and get my hair done JUST like hers. I love it. Smooches!

Last, but not least, my Baby Sister! She is my best friend, my 2nd biggest pain in the butt, and she is beautiful. I am feircely protective of her. Probably too much, but hey that's what big sisters do! I am so thankful for the 2 neices she gave me. I love those little girls with every ounce of my being. Misty and I can just sit, and talk, and sit and talk, and sit and talk. Even better we can sit and not talk, and still know what the other is saying. XOXOXOXO

Frustrated

I'm moving to England!

A recent study conducted in the UK found that men who were hungry (as in craving food) found heavier women more attractive than thin ones.

As we grow up......

We learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken,probably more than once, and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because,
Every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

I love this pic of Ashyra and her Uncle Daddy

This weekend is going to be busy! 3 of the 4 kiddos start school on Monday and we have to finish up school shopping, clothing shopping, and grooming issues. Thankfully Jonathan and Elize are going to wear uniforms so all I have to do is buy the polos from the school and make sure they have khaki bottoms. Anthony is going to need some new clothes, and we still have to get his supplies. Elize is going to get her hair straightened, and both the boys will get hair cuts. I also have to break out the jumbo desk calendar again. Between 3 school schedules, therapy appts for Carolyn, cheerleading practices, football practices, 3 full time jobs, we are going to have a heck of a busy fall. I guess it's good thing I thrive on chaos, let's hope Jason and Misty do too!

#1, #1, #1, #1, #1, #1, #1

Guess who's store is #1 in the Region????

That's right....MINE!

Store numbers came out on Monday, and we did great. Kim and I both could not wait until the district and regional managers did their numbers to see which store was going to be on top. I'm so excited! We totally kicked hiney last month. As a reward the RM and AM will take Kim and I to lunch while the DM works the store. I'm going to eat so slow!

Soooooooo....

2 fish had to go to the fish "doctor" today. Uncle Daddy will bring them home after work.......

Floating.....

Tonight after C.E.C. Jason brought home 4 gold fish for the kids. Sweet thought, but not well planned. The man does not read any directions, and knows a whole lotta nothing about fish. Yea, you see where this is going......

About 1 1/2 hours later we have 3 floating fish and 1 who looks like it's spazing out.

Crap! So I call Wal-mart at 10:30 to see if they sell gold fish. Praise God they do!

We get there and are chit-chatting with the fish guy, turns out you have to buy special stuff to make tap water OK for fish. We had no such stuff. Also, Jason did not rinse the rocks, nor did he let the water get room temperature.

So 4 more fish later we are home, let's pray they make it through the night.....and that the kids don't notice the size and color change.
