....

I really wanted to post something today, but I just can't come up with anything fun. I guess I can come up with a few randoms?

~It's raining.
*when it rains like this, it reminds me of a time when I was working downtown and my PB went and got his car out of his lot(that was free) and pulled up to the front doors of our building..bought a newspaper for me to use as an umbrella, opened my door so I could run right into his SUV and then brought me to my parking lot, which was about a block and a half away, paid $3.00 to get in that lot and pulled up right next to my car, opened the door on my car, started my car, and then opened my door on his car.

~ I hate when people feel entitled or deserving.

~ I will be leaving my house for work at 4:30am for the next 2 days, and won't be getting home until about 10pm. yikes.

~I'm looking forward to my pedicure on Friday

~I think I'm going to Washington D.C. in July.

~I am feeling needy lately, I don't like it.

~I ignored RD's attempt at manipulation last night, pretty proud. Mama?

~I miss Brylee.

~I hate when friendships feel one-sided.

~I think I burned myself at the tanner last night. oops

~I'm nervous about a big decision I have to make in the next 10 days.

~I'm done; have a good day :)

Rough.

Today....I am struggling. All of a sudden my eyelids weigh about a gazillion pounds and I yawn every 2 minutes.

I. am. tired.
not just tired. tired. BIG difference.

I have had a ton on my mind with the Arthritis Walk, I have even dreamed about it! So I haven't been sleeping as well as I could. Then yesterday, as I was parking my car in my garage and unloading my bags of things from my day, my phone rings. There were a few people I thought it could be, but it wasn't.

It was my PB . That's right! A phone call out of the blue. I love those. We got to talk for a little over an hour and a half and catch up on how our weekends were. He is doing a bunch of travelling for the next few days (lucky!), and we got to talk about our upcoming week too. Then we talked about my birthday dinner :) He promised that he'd take out to dinner, but there is a small situation because he lives almost an hour away. So we obviously need to plan a little bit. The place I work is awesome enough(most days..some days..every now and then?) to let us have a free room in our birthday month, as long as its not super busy. Which it's not next weekend. So we were talking about going out to dinner, he won't tell me where, and a drink and maybe a movie or something. Then he doesn't have to drive all the way home! Perfect! I am pretty darn excited about this non date birthday dinner. :)

Then in July, for his birthday, I'll head to where he lives and stay in a hotel room, and buy him dinner :) Only he'll be paying for my hotel room. I love having out of town friends :)


I can't think of anything else to write, Noodles.

ps-

I know I haven't updated my 101 things in 1001 days..I will..very soon..I promise!

*Wonderful

I had the best weekend! It was filled with my closest friends and family.

The Arthritis Walk was a huge hit, I had 38 people on my team walking for me! It was such a blessing to have everyone show their support for me.






To get mushy, for just a second, it meant the world to me to have my brother there. If you know him(or have ever heard me talk about him), he is not a people person like I am, we are complete opposites. He doesn't like big crowds, or doing things that he doesn't know exactly what is going to happen. He just doesn't (hardly ever) step out of his comfort zone. And he did. Twice. For his little sister. He drove 40 minutes to Rockford, was in a huge crowd (he even looked silly and did the stretches), he walked 3 miles (which completely wore him out because he smokes) and was surrounded by people the entire time, and he still had time to goof off with his wife and Baby B (who looked stinkin' cute in the bib her Auntie made her). I thought for sure he would want to get to their truck right away and head home. And instead, they stayed, took an enormous amount of pictures AND went to lunch with pretty much the whole dang team. God is at work in his heart, I can just feel it. okay okay..tearing up...switching subjects.








Speaking of Baby B..










It also meant so much to have one of my best friends there with me, even though she couldn't walk. Luckily JSC has a pretty amazing boyfriend(see below) that pushed her the whole 3 miles in a wheel chair. Thanks ducky, it made my day that much more special to have you there, even though you were freezing. I really really appreciate you and your friendship.








Okay! Seriously!

After the Walk we went to Perkins (not Bob Evans JSC) and had the rudest waitress. But it was still fun and the food was pretty good. I had my cheeseburger and then M's bacon and her pancakes..yum!




L, J, & C coloring at Lunch :)
The whole team :)





O & A being their super cute selves!




Then I got to go home and take a 2 hour nap, let me tell you, that felt good! After that I got dressed for the little gathering of family and friends at K.T. & J.T.'s house! That was so fun, and the cake was so dang good! Probably because it had pink frosting and pink filling. M and I headed downtown to Monte's after a while and had a fuzzy navel..can you say good? seriously. It was good time, plus we met some Random's in the parking lot who took our picture and gave me a dollar because we were celebrating my birthday! awesome.



My beautiful cake!


I heart Presents!
JSC, Me, O, & JV

me, M, & SM



me & M downtown :) love her!




Yesterday I stayed in my PJ's allllllll day. Did laundry and dishes and watched a lot of TV. Plus had all my windows open in my 3 season room, and my front door too! I heart spring, a lot.

jazzed.

Absolutely.



I had a pretty darn good weekend considering the weather. I wasn't all that sore (shout out to Jesus on that one..thank you!)



Friday was seriously nuts, both jobs were really busy. But I treated myself after work and went to bed pretty happy :) Saturday I only worked half a day and got to have a lunch date with one of my best friends. She is such an inspiration to me. She helped bring me to Christ when I showed her I was ready. I don't think she realizes how much she means to me. Enough sappiness. We 'lunched' for about 3 hours (which really..it wasn't enough time..but what is enough time when you get us together?) Then I headed home to spend a relaxing night alone with a movie and boy, was I looking forward to it! But then I got a call from my BFF M and we got to talking and she just has this way of energizing me! So I got dressed and picked her up and we headed to G.H. beach during a Thunder storm! SO beautiful since it wasn't yet dark, dark. We took some silly pictures and got Slurpee's and had so much fun in the rain. We stopped at my friend J.M.'s house on the way home to warm up and just hang out for alittle while. Then, of course we picked up TB and headed back to her house for a little while. When I got home I suddenly felt an urge to clean, and the next thing I knew..it was 3am! yikes! So I turned my movie that I was watching before I went out back on, and fell asleep on the couch.

I took Sunday morning for myself and went to work at 3 and went home..made some chips and cheese and relaxed and fell asleep around 1 this morning. Life was good :)



And that was my lovely little weekend.





I know I don't say this a lot but I am so happy that it's Monday and that the week has started. This week is going to be really busy for me as I am finishing up things for the Arthritis Walk in Rockford (http://www.arthritis.org/). I just got word that I will be able to pick my shirts up tomorrow! Really excited about that. I am still searching for plain brown onesies in 6-9 month sizes, but I have an idea if that doesn't work. And Iron-On's for the bigger kids. But I am pretty much all set and just trying to be organized for when I receive the donations for the shirts. I am feeling pretty good about it though! I am pretty happy that I only have 3 days at the Optical Office this week. That is awesome. Let's break it down:



Today(Monday)- I work at the Hampton until 5pm and then the Optical Office until 9:30

Tuesday- I only work at the Hampton, until 3 (insert happy noise here) and after that I plan on going over to my parents house to create a photo book for of Baby B. Then I am going *shopping* for brown onesies and iron-on's AND a new outfit for Saturday when we go out for my birthday! Hopefully my S-I-L will come with me. And I will hopefully have time in there to pick up my shirts for the Arthritis Walk too! I hope they turned out okay!

Wednesday-I work at the Hampton until 4pm and then at the Optical Office until 9:30. Not going to be doing much that day...try to fit in tanning :) Oh and I need to bake some cup cakes for a bake sale too :)

Thursday- I work from 7-5 at the Hampton, maybe do some ironing and cleaning! Or more *shopping*? if I haven't found that cute little birthday outfit that I have pictured in my head.

Friday- I work at the Optical Office until 1 in the afternoon and then I have a hair appointment at 2. Then I am going to hang out with Baby B for a while!

Saturday is of course The Arthritis Walk! I have to get there around 8:30am. I am so freaking jazzed. I am excited for pictures and the talking while we're walking and just being around my closest friends and family! We're all going out to lunch after that and then I'm going to go home to hopefully take a nap before we head out to dinner at Monelli's for drinks and Spinach and Artichoke dip and then to K.T.'s & J.T.'s for some cake! Then it's time to head downtown for some bar hopping. I haven't gone out downtown in months. This will be great. Unless, something else great happens. which I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket, but hey..a girl can hope right? right. Thanks.

Sunday could go either way, with relaxing, driving home, church, walking, rollerblading, or lunch on the patio. Either way..sounds good.

NEXT Monday I work 8am-9:30pm between both jobs
Tuesday- 7am-9:30pm between both jobs, hopefully the girls from the optical office will go out for a drink with me!
Wednesday..My Birthday!! I only work from 11am-3pm (awesome!) I already have breakfast plans, and dinner plans and a special few minute phone date and just an awesome relaxing, all about me kind of day. :)
Thursday I work from 7am-9:30pm between both jobs
Friday-Sunday(I think) leaving for Petoskey for the WHOLE weekend for my cousins Wedding! Usually I dread weddings because I hate going alone. But I am pretty excited about going and getting away for a few nights! Bring on the Chicken Dance! And the YMCA and Shout! I plan on doing them all! I even bought new shoes to go with my dress :) Check facebook for pictures :)

Whew! That is my life for the next few weeks. But it's all good stuff that I am excited for! Plus somewhere in there hopefully my friend J.M. promised to take me to dinner and some putt putt golf...yay!


Alright, thanks for reading my longest post ever. Have a good day!

O.M.G{osh}.

Ok, fair warning..this is NOT for the weak of stomach :)

AND I'm not saying these are true stories, because they were told to me by friends of friends of friends {twice removed haha}. But they were way too funny {& kinda gross} NOT to pass on to my lovelies {that's you!}.

I heard this from JSC last Saturday while we were shopping in a store for a plant to put in her Boo's living room of his new house. So we're walking past the Cactus, and she starts telling me about this woman who bought a Cactus from H.L. and when she got it home she noticed that it was pulsating a little bit. So she called the store and they hung up on her or got "disconnected" 3 times, and that made her a little nervous. So she called the fire dept, just to double check to make sure everything was okay. And they told her to immediately get her kids and get out of the house. When the fire department arrived they went in and got the cactus and brought it out front and doused it with lighter fluid and lit it. Almost immediately thousands of baby Tarantula spiders coming fleeing out of the cactus!! WTF! gross.



Then last night, when I worked with S.S. she was telling that this girl, for whatever STUPID reason decided to go downtown by herself {idiot} and have a few drinks and go dancing. Of course, she met this guy and they started talking and danced a little and even had alittle make out session. He asked if she wanted to come over to his place for dinner, and she declined, but thought he was cute and nice so they exchanged numbers. The next morning she got up and was going to get in the shower and noticed all of these bumps on her face around her mouth. She was alittle freaked out so she went to the emergency room and they ran some tests but couldn't figure out what had caused the bumps. They told her to go home and wait by her phone, and they would call her as soon as they got the rest of her test results back. So she went home and waited for about 2 hours and the hospital called her told her to come straight back to the hospital right away, do not call anyone, do not talk to anyone, just come straight back. When she arrived she noticed the police were there. They asked her who she had come into contact with in the last 24 hours. She went through the list of people, and told the officers that she had met this guy at the bar and they had made out a little..they asked for his name and phone number and left. The girl was definitely freaking out by now and the Dr's sat her down and said that the only way you get bumps like that is from consuming human carnage. So that guy she made out with was eating human flesh!!!!! I will give you a moment to go vomit in the bathroom! ick.

Anyway.

Enjoy you lunch :)
