Better things to do...

There are so many things I should be doing right now instead of blogging and playing Pioneer Trail.

Oh yes I am trying desperately to catch up with the missions that I have in there and it kills me when I finish one only for it to be replaced by one more and it is even worse when you get two or three more. I just want to get them finished. Right now I am trying to plant a whole mess of crops since I can sit here and watch them grow, harvest, and then plant more. I've got the day off and then all day tomorrow. It is wonderful. Of course I still have a deco mesh wreath that I haven't even thought about that I should be handing over tomorrow as a present. There are clothes to be folded. More presents to be wrapped. I haven't even done anything with my hair that I washed this morning. There are mountains of dishes to be washed and well I just don't want to stick my hands in the sink. I wish that the dishwasher could unload the dishes more than anything.

I have paid the bills so that is a plus at this point. I have to decided if I have enough of the presents ready for tomorrow but I am probably wrong. I am also trying to empty the DVR while there is time to watch instead of indiscriminately deleting things. There are 20+ episodes of Doctor Who and some of them are episodes that I haven't seen before. I wish that the DVR would reorder the episodes by air date instead of just when they were recorded. A few weeks ago I was watching Star Trek and watched a whole episode that made no sense only to find out that for some reason it had recorded the first part at a later time than the second part. It was a little frustrating because I didn't know that I should watch the other one first. BBC America also has a tendency to show the first part of a to be continued episode and then a week later show the second half. There is one episode with David Tennant that it took me almost a month to see the second half of because of when they were airing the episodes.

The real problem that I have with Pioneer Trail on Facebook is that some times it will all of a sudden tell you that there is an error and need to reload and then it will reset what you were doing. There are times when this may work to your advantage but for the most part it does not work to mine. I have harvested crops, had the error pop up and then I can't get it to load. The next day I log on and see all the crops were not harvested and are now dead and brown. And hell if I can ever get my 'neighbors'  to come and help me unwither my crops.

I also am so excited to see the new episode of the Doctor tomorrow night. To meet yet another new doctor. I'm a little sadden that this is Matt Smith's final episode but I know that it means new adventures.

I have to get up now and do some work or I will be in trouble later.

love ya!

BIt of December...

The artic gates have opened and it is colder than sin around here. It was 28 degrees when I got in the car this morning to go to work and was standing at the time clock before six a.m., yes that is early for us. We work normal 8-5, 6 day a week retail. We have no fancy weekly sales or deals, we have one large sale the first Saturday in December during regular store hours and  that is it.

I am probably in need of going back to bed fairly soon but I have to finish watching last night's Grimm. I didn't get a chance to watch it because I was baking for my co-workers. There are a lot of things going on right now and I just need to relax with what is left of my glass of wine and the tv. Must empty out the DVR we are getting close to half full and there are just so few hours in the day.

love ya!

Happy Thanksgiving...

I haven't been on here in the last few weeks because I've been trying to unsuccessfully participate in NaNoWriMo and well that isn't going very well. With less than three days to go I'm 15,000 words behind the ultimate goal of 50,000 words.

Just wanted to get on here and say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

love ya!

Stink...

I hate coming up with something to blog about when I don't have a chance to write it down because I sit down at my computer and everything goes completely blank.

Of course I mainly have a chance to think at night before I fall asleep. My biggest goal right at this point is to try and figure out what to get everyone for Christmas. I keep getting my list together but it falls apart before I can finish making it.

I would also like to get my living room clean but that is going slow because I don't have any kind of storage. I really would like a nice piece for storage in my living room but that isn't going to happen any time soon. From what my husband says there isn't a lot of space in the attic and I don't know what I would be able to put up there. Storage is just kinda sparse in the house and I am not going to get a storage unit for anything that I have, it will just have to fit in the house that I have or well I don't need it.

I keep thinking that I'm going to start exercising but I'm just lazy. I hate getting hot and sweaty and I don't like how uncomfortable it feels when my heart rate starts to rise. I always feel terrible after exercising and that just sets everything off on a bad course. I don't understand how people can get up at the crack of dawn and go for a run or go exercise it just makes me feel icky and want to go to sleep.

love ya!

Incoherent...

There are so many things going on right now and I'm just not sure where I should start.

I'm really in the midst of a set of opening and closing doors and out of fear and stuck in almost an antichamber to these doors. I'm surrounded by all of these doors that are opening and closing and I don't know which ones I should be going to or if I should just stay where I am. I know that there are options in life for a reason but as of lately I've become a little gun shy of trying to change what I'm about and it scares me. There are so many things out there that are possibilities that I'm not ready for and it hurts so much.

I know that my thoughts aren't totally coherent right now but that just is how I feel. And the most frustrating thing I keep running into right now is the whole "I can't tell you what to do." That isn't a helpful statement. Please keep that in mind as you move forward with your decsion making.

love ya!

Love...

Love is one of those words that means so much to so many people.

It has really come up lately more in the some times you just do it because it is what is right. That love that you show your family. The getting up at the crack of dawn on your day off to go do something. Or going day after day to the hospital to sit with a loved one just so that they aren't there by themself.

1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."

The basis of this is on a shirt that my brother gave me that says "Love is the action."

That has been speaking to me a lot this week that that is how we should love those around us not by what we say but what we do for those around us. That really starts to hit home as we start the downhill trek towards Christmas and we see so much that we don't want to.

We will watch on the day after Thanksgiving as people push and shove and fight over cheap laptops and big screen tvs and it makes me sad. I can't even say less than 24 hours after the day where we are supposed to talk about all the things that we are thankful for are people so angry and hostile.

My goal for the remainder of this year is to show love more than I have in the last few months. To start to renew some hope in the human race. To remind people that there are still a few souls out there that are willing to do something not because of what they will get in the end but because they know at heart that they should love all no matter what.

And I promise that I am trying to work on my 30 before 30 list. I may have to pull it up and see what I should start trying to read.

love ya!

Wednesday

So far this week, I've gotten my dogs hooked on Ritz Crackers and mini marshmallows.

Yep Ritz Crackers. To the point where baby girl grabbed the open stick of crackers off the back of the couch and ran off with them.  Of course my dogs aren't the brightest. I watched baby boy run around with a ravioli stuck to his back.

There are a whole mess of things that I need to get done. Like washing the dishes. My kitchen is starting to look like one of those Febreze commercials minus the garbage which I need to put out since they pick up tomorrow. Luckily we are late enough on the route to be able to put it out as we head out the door.

I just have to make it to Saturday to work on my house for two whole days off!

love ya!
