what I should be doing

I need to be looking at plane tickets for Honduras but I just dont want too. I think the longer I wait the more expensive they are going to be.. but yet here I sit reading blogs and updating mine.

Maybe cleaning or helping in a room since I am at work, but alas still sitting here.

I need to really and seriously clean my house this weekend but its going to be a girls weekend and cleaning doesnt sound nearly as fun.

But I suppose I should at least look at plane tickets.
Here I go.....

So I know it is downright crazy, but I'm posting again within 2 hours of my last (very small) post.

I was just reading on Rants from Mommyland blog and thought the pool rules were quite funny, and since I'll be spending some time at the pool, here they are:-)

HOT

Its HOT!!!

Thats all.

I will be in or near the pool all day today:-)

SUMMER!

So its finally summer! :-) And I seem to be a bit of a fail at keeping up on my blog.

Nothing exciting has been happening, I am currently working an overnight shift and already feel tired 2 hours in. 10 more to go....

I love the warm weather, except that even lately in the mornings when I have been walking with my mom, its been crazy hot. But I shouldn't complain because its summer and the pool is open and said pool actually made it to 80 degrees instead of the frigid temp of 60 degrees this past Monday.

There was a baby horse born at my moms farm a week or so ago. Its a colt and hes pretty darn cute:-) If I had access to pictures I would put one on here. We were kind of hoping for a filly, but I guess a boy is ok. Maybe next year;-) I have been working out at the barn lately as well, and am realizing just how nice that is. The horses don't talk back to you, and I find it strangely calming brushing and braiding manes(as long the horse decides not to be a beast example whipping their head around, stomping feet. etc...). And when I want to get a tan and earn money there is always poop that needs scooped, and I just listen to Pandora, usually a little todays country music or Kenny Chesney, which is quite fabulous.

Yesterday I helped the twins make some chore charts for the month. They have even gotten all their chores done 2 whole days in a row. I guess its pretty liberating putting a sticker next to the chore once completed. I guess I know the feeling because I love to cross something off my list of to dos once complete:-) Maybe it'll last for the twins, I guess we shall see how it goes.

I have to attend 2 weddings this month, which I guess could be good. I suppose I'm not the biggest fan of weddings. I mean they are pretty and all, but I guess I'm boring and would rather spend my Saturday by the pool getting a tan in my swimsuit than driving sometimes quite a long distance and wearing a dress.

But all in all I'm quite thrilled that summer seems to be here to stay:-) And there are leaves on the tree and I've been able to see the sun! The past week or so have made me realize why I might enjoy Michigan if only in the summer.

May!

Well it seems as though I've taken a mini hiatus from blogging. I just sometimes forget I have a blog, well maybe thats not entirely true.

What I want to do:
Go see some movies, one of those being Bridemaids. I think I will probably see that this weekend. I would also like to see Something Borrowed, even tho it might be lame and a super chick flick.
Go to Chicago and see the Body Worlds exhibit at the science and industry muesum. And since I'll be in Chicago, eat some SUPER delightful chicago style pizza.
Go on a trip, where? I'm not really sure of that yet...I'll keep you updated.
Start working out again, and stop being a fattie!
Get another Jeep, because I desperately miss mine!!!!! :-(


What I am doing this weekend:
Going to a Whitecaps game on Saturday with the youth group at church. I just started volunteering this past Sunday, and I love it! I am kind of excited about the game and of course the fireworks afterward!
Friday night is Pizza night! So excited, as I have worked the past two. And I just love pizza.
Sunday of course will be Church, and then I dont know. Last Sunday we went to Starbucks and got half off frappacinos(spelled wrong, sorry for those of you that love Starbucks) but it was so delightful, to bad that promo ended last Sunday.
And maybe watch something fun. Like Jimmy Fallon's Thank you notes, that he does every Friday night. Bob will DVR them and they are just soo darn funny! I really look forward to them now. If you havent seen them, you should probably youtube them. I'll bet they are on there, and they are funny!!! :-)

Well I have one more day of work for the week and then maybe just maybe I'll blog again!

Seriously?

Seriously Michigan?

I woke up this morning to ugly, nasty and most definitely disgusting snow! UGH! I already despise Michigan but really its April 18th for crying out loud! So lame!! It was almost nice that I could not really see it at first because I had vaseline in my eyes from sleeping (side note, I got my eyeliner re-tattooed on Saturday and have to keep them moisturized with the vaseline). But even so, this girl is not pleased. GAG! Here is a picture of where I would much rather be...

On a happier note since quite a few of the people whose blogs I read, have been writing about our book club book, Water for Elephants. I will just say that I loved it! :-) It was a fabulous book, and I am excited to see the movie despite the fact that it will be slightly lame because Robert Pattinson is playing the lead, and he just doesn't fit the character at all in my mind. And because in the book, Jacobs hair is red, and in the movie Robs is definitely not. Fail!

On a sad note, I am trading in my Jeep today :-( I love my Jeep and am really going to miss it!

But the happy part of that, is that I will be getting a Honda Fit, although I will admit it looks kind of ugly, 35 miles a gallon will be quite nice:-) And its going to be red, at least that will make it a little bit better and it has lots of space. So I could drive a dog or dogs somewhere or even go to the beach on a whim and not feel the effects on my wallet as much. :-D I think that will be a win!

And this weekend is Easter, Can I just say that I am SOOOO incredibly grateful that Jesus died on the cross for me! And then he rose from the dead. God is absolutely incredible and this week I will be thinking of just how thankful I am for that blessing, Jesus dieing for me, and that he is concerned about all areas of my life! :-) Even getting a new car (even if I don't like cars) and there being nasty snow on the ground.

last 11-11

Tonight marks my last 11a-11p shift, and I am excited! :-)

And one more 12 hour shift and then its the weekend and Ihave Friday off! And on Friday that means one week until I get my permanent eyeliner redone. Its shaping up to be a pretty fabulous week/weekend. My naughty dog, Hagrid, got a lion cut and looks cute, so he now has a few days in which he gets to live. (He lately has been peeing in my house, and its super annoying!)

Well, its about time to change and punch out!
Good night friends!
