Saturday afternoon...

I still have yet to decide what I am going to do tonight so I thought that I might go ahead and see if I can get a post hammered out. 

I've been suffering from 'I don't wanna do it' on so many things that right now there are dishes on my couch, pieces of sock on the floor, and half rotten strawberries in my fridge. Yeah I'm suffering from the ultimate of lazy but the dishes in the dishwasher are supposedly clean we will see if the dishwasher has a job later and the trash has gone to the dumpster. And that was only because I sacked it up and set it by the front door for my husband to take last night when we got home from work. Trying to get an update on whether they need more volunteer help which will provide me with a to do list for tonight. The donation site is open until eight just in case people were to come in. I figured though with today being Saturday that they would be in need of more help just to clean up the stacks and boxes and tables. Organization doesn't happen to be a strong point on what we have.  

There have been a few accommodations that have been made as the game has been going on and that has caused a few problems. Today has been a seemingly decent Saturday for work things haven't been crazy for statements to be closing out on Wednesday. Next Saturday will be a game changer though because it will be the first Saturday after statements go out which can be a little hectic because after a month people tend to forget what they have charged or how much they have charged and some didn't pay the month before so that always makes it not work out so well. 

I wish that when I had started today that I had a point to what I was going to write but I didn't. I have the need to write and I spent over and hour sitting in the tub after I couldn't sleep writing because I think well in there. There are no distractions in our bathroom. It is directly in the middle of the apartment building along with the bathrooms for the other three units. There are no windows and nothing distracting and it felt good to just sit and write and not think about what else was going on but that is my problem that I write really well for an hour or two and then I lose focus on what I am working on and don't want to do it after that. Then I always have an idea of where I want it to go but I get in a rush trying to get to that point. Or I have tried to write sections and then try to tie them together but I always forget about trying to tie them together and end up with a stack of disjointed pieces. 

love ya!

Holy jalepenos...

Yeah that's how I feel about this week. I wish that I could say that I have a...wait I do have a good excuse for why I've been busy. It is important to know that right now in Texas everywhere in Texas the grass is crispy and as Robin Williams said in Good Morning Vietnam, 'it's hot, it's damn hot.'

That being said there are currently 16 active fires in the state right now and that changes from day to day. I think that this week that is the smallest number one day there were 22 and most of them were new. It is bad enough that even fires as small as one acre are on the website check it out if you're wondering.

I was glad to see that after a month the one up near Amarillo is finally out. The updates aren't coming as fast for the local one after we had a good little shower come through for a few hours it gave them plenty of time to get it under control. There were firefighters from 48 different agencies and from as far away as Alaska. That is crazy.

I have seen something amazing and I will try and get some pictures tomorrow. But we have been set up as a donation drop-off for the Red Cross. There are more clothes than I have ever seen and more to come. They actually had to turn away a truck full because we have no more room for them. Blankets and sheets and all kinds of things. I know that I am leaving in the middle of the story but I really can't stay any longer tonight.

love ya!

Taking time to relax...

Just trying to take time to relax and get things done instead of frantically watching the days fly by in this year. It happens every year there is something that I'm watching fly off the calendar. Well more that from point A to point B seem to go fast and there is always another point A that comes around.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get a few pictures up.

love ya!

Noodles and thoughts...

My allergies have finally kicked in and they are hitting me with a power that even Nyquil has not been able to kick because an hour after I took it I was still sitting in bed waiting for sleep.

I am in a total world of hurt right now and I hope that the scale is broken because if I really gained 12 pounds in the last week by the end of the year I will be qualifying for the Biggest Loser and I can't do that. I have a wedding to go to at the end of July and a brother-in-law getting married in September or October. I have got to look good. The last dress that I wore to a wedding is kinda snug and it is getting a little bit depressing to wear black to weddings.

I have cut back on the carbs as a whole since I got married because well my husband is not quite a big fan of noodles, so any time I have a chance I get noodles at a restaurant and I really am not a big meat fan so I really have no idea where the weight comes from.

What is really killing me is that in the last week I have really been trying to cut back on the things that I don't need to eat and having been drinking ounces and ounces of water. Of course that could be the problem is all the water. Kidney problems run in my family and it always worries me when I drink a whole lot of water and not a whole lot comes out it makes me worry that my kidneys are starting to lose function which is not what a 25 year old should be worrying about.

love ya!

Just a girl....

I don't think that I ever wrote that first post to talk about myself and what I like and just give an idea of who I am.

I'm Just a girl who finally found her one and only in the last place she thought. I never expected Just a boy to be the guy who rang the doorbell to fix the TV.

I like to bake. I love reading and pretty much all my first loves and best friends are in between the pages of the books that line my shelves. I love art and I mean the real deal. Not so much into that newer stuff, I prefer to see the masters.

I love music and movies. I think that they go hand in hand. Most days you can find me chained to my desk with Pandora playing in the background. And if you're really lucky you may catch me singing along with the radio.

I will always love a good love story no matter how sad it may be but I will watch it over and over again.

love ya!

Just a boy's little white puppy...

This is Just a Boy's little white puppy...okay well he's full grown dog a Westie and well we love him. I wish I could say that he liked the camera but he doesn't and that was the best I could do. I figured that I should probably be putting a few more pictures up and I should have been doing some more blogging this week since it is vacation time for me but that didn't happen.

I didn't get anything done this week. I didn't even get a chance to see the little white puppy dog. He doesn't live with us while we're in the apartment and we are working on getting a place where we can have him with us but that is going to be a little while before he can stay with us. It's okay we see him on most weekends and we try the best to make the time worth it. Right now though he is suffering from fleas and the heat. I really thought about getting one of those cones to put on him to keep him from chewing the fur off his backside that is until I saw Sassy my father-in-law's dog helping him by chewing on fleas for him. She hasn't really been the same since the puppy's have gone onto other homes and has adopted Apollo as her own and she has become protective of him, even following us along the shoreline of the lake panicking that he is going to fall in the water. If she isn't freaking out on the shore she is swimming along beside us sounding like a freight train.

I kinda miss having a pet at the house because well as much as I love Dollie and the gang they just don't cut it for companionship.

love ya!
