Another day...

That's how I feel at work.

I come and do my job and go home.

I don't get paid enough to care.

Things will never change around here.

I didn't work out last night. I got home and lost all motivation.

It was raining which probably didn't help.

I'm going to tonight. I need to do something.

If I started seeing results, then I would try a little harder, but it's not that easy.

Travis is still looking for a job. There's not alot out there.

We'll just have to deal with it as it comes.

Is it 5 yet?

Mondays Suck...

I hate Mondays.

It's always sucks having to come back to work.

We had a wonderful weekend.

Friday night, it was storming when it was time to leave work. So we had to wait out the rain in order to be able to go home. It was lightning and thundering as I was riding home. Not alot of fun on the motorcycle. They also said that a tornado touched down. Crazy weather...

We went to Dairy Queen and Brownie Battered Blizzards. Yummy!
Saturday, we went shopping and didn't have much luck. We couldn't find pillows or curtains we wanted and Travis couldn't find a new wheel for the trailer. So we're still looking to finish up the bedroom.

Yesterday we just stayed home. It was nice to have a lazy Sunday at home. Another bad thunderstorm came through around dinner time and knocked out the power. Good thing dinner was being cooked on the grill.

I'm starting the Body by Glamour Challenge today.

I need something to help get me motivated again.

I'm counting calories this week too.

I can't wait for the 3-day weekend with my hubby!
We've been together for 4 years!

Is is Thursday yet?

Woo Hoo for Friday!

I'm so happy it's Friday!

And I got to ride my motorcycle to work again.

We finally got our new bed set. It looks great in our room. Now we have to buy some more pillows and add a few new decorations. It was so comfy last night. I'll take some new pictures.

The house is slowly coming together.

I didn't work out again, but I did go grocery shopping and vacuumed.

Not too many plans for this weekend.

I hope it's quiet and relaxing.

Have a good weekend!

Blah

I'm ready for the weekend.

It's been a long week, with today and tomorrow to go.

I haven't been working out as much this week. Travis being home all the time messes me up. I've also been tired too.

Just can't seem to get the motivation when I get home.

I also haven't been keeping track of my calories as good as I need to. But I have been watching out that I don't eat so much. Just a snack in the morning and/or afternoon. And to try to drink more water.

Hopefully today we'll get our new bedspread. We ordered it last Monday, and they just shipped it out this Monday. What took them a damn week to finally send it out? Stupid people.

I told Travis next weekend, I want to do the dining room. We're going to paint the base of the table, the chair legs, and get slip covers. I'm also going to get a new center piece and a picture for the wall. It'll be my project for the 3-day weekend! It'll look so good!

I can't believe that Travis and I have been together for 4 years next weekend. It doesn't seem that long. We realized last night that we've been in our house for 3 months.
Where does the time go?

Is it 5 on Friday yet?

Hump Day

I'm tired.

I love Travis being home at night again with me, but it messes up my schedule.

And I was finishing my book until midnight.

But we're at least on the downward slide for the week.

Is it 5 yet?

Another day

I'm ready for the weekend already.

And it's only Tuesday.

Well, Travis did get fired last night. The service manager, Billy, didn't want to, but upper management did. I feel so bad for him. He's a good mechanic but in his line of work a simple mistake like that can easily cost $20,000. He's mad at himself for it. Jessie's friend Heather's husband David, is also a mechanic and the only one working in his shop right now. He knows Travis, so keep your fingers crossed that something will come of that. I'm thankful that now he won't working 3rd shift and Friday nights all by himself on the Northside.

We're not too worried about money. We still have some in savings to help until he can start working again.

Travis finally got all the trees cut down in the yard. It's looking so much better out there. Our new comforter set should be here Thursday. I'm excited about it!

My little sister Holly's boyfriend is in jail. He's a bad influence and walks around like he's invincible. It's about time it all caught up with him. He's going to put away for a very long time. So we're hoping this will be a turn around point for Holly to finally get her life back on track. It'll be hard, but she's got 3 older sisters to help her.

Is it 5 yet?

Boo for Mondays...

How I wish weekends were longer.

A 3 day weekend would make all the difference.

It was a good weekend for the most part.

Friday after work, Toni and I rode our motorcycles to Dick's and had a beer.

While Travis was at work Friday night, he messed up on a truck. He's the ONLY ONE on Fridays in his shop on the 11:30 pm to 8 am shift. And they no longer have the guy to come in and work on Saturdays. He was doing a maintenance on a truck and forgot to put oil in it. He did it on the lift and it messed up his whole routine. The truck seized up. So he's worried about getting fired now. So we'll have to wait and see what happens. Say a prayer for him.

Saturday, Jessie and I cleaned her spare bedrooms. She also started on the closets. She found some purses that she'd been looking for since they moved in, on the bottom of the closet in a suit case. They've been there since January and they've never bothered to clean them until now. We are very different people when it comes to keeping our houses clean.

Yesterday we went over to Grandma's and picked up the swing. Travis has to cut the grass today before we can set it up. It'll be nice to have.

I'm praying that everything goes good with Travis' job and he keeps it by some miracle.

I have a feeling it'll be a long week...

Finally Friday

I'm so happy it's Friday!

It's supposed to be so hot this weekend.

100 tomorrow. Holy cow.

I rode my motorcycle to work today for the first time and without Travis.

I'm very proud of myself!

Not too many plans this weekend.

Tomorrow morning I'm helping Jessie with her room so she can have a guest bedroom. Then I want to paint our dining room table. It's gold now and I want to paint it black to update it.

Sunday we're supposed to go get the swing from Grandma's. I can't wait. I just wish the damn mosquitoes weren't so bad and I could be outside when it's cool and enjoy it.

I feel so bad for Jessie.

She still doesn't have a job. It's very hard right now to find one and she's been looking. And Bobby is being an ass. He pretty much hates everything right now. He thinks she can't do anything right and can't hold a job. Hello, we're only 24, we're not supposed to find a job and keep it for years. She cut the grass yesterday and cooks dinner and tries to find a job. They have money in the bank from Mom, so it's not like they are dirt poor right now. He knew how she was before they got married. Him being grumpy all the damn time makes them both very unhappy. Jessie is pretty much depressed.

I think I'm the only one out of my sisters right now that is truly happy with their spouse. I feel bad that Travis and I are happy, and no one else is. I wish I could tell everyone how to fix their problems or what I think would make them happy. But, I can't, so I can only be there to listen and try to help as I can.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hump Day

It's Hump Day!

I have realized that...

New stuff for the house!

I have a feeling this is going to be a long week...

We bought our new bedroom set off of EBay last night. We both love it. It's traditional and looks so comfy. All the pillows came with it and we're getting 600 TC Egyptian Cotton sheets.

I also think I'm going to so painting around the house. I want to paint the front door red. It has never been painted and is white. I'm also going to paint the dining room table. It's a gold bottom with a glass top. I don't like the gold, so it's going to be black.

Travis is doing his work in the yard. He got the other tree cut down yesterday, but it landed on the neighbor's chain length fence. Oops, but she didn't mind because now he can cut down more trees he wanted too. Then he wants to get his shed and our new fence. Then it'll be up to me to make it look pretty.

I'm ready to go home.

Is it 5 yet?

Mondays suck...

It's Monday.

I wish weekends were longer...

We had a good weekend.

Friday night we grilled out for dinner.

Saturday, Jessie and I went to the bookstore. I love bookstores. I got 6 new books. 3 by Julie Garwood and 3 by Dorothy Garlock. Her books are usually set in the 1920's or 1930's. I've read about 4 now and loved all of them.

Travis got one tree cut down while I was gone. He was going to cut the other one down today. Then I read one of my new books and Travis watched the races.

Yesterday he cut the grass and I cleaned and did laundry.
Then we rode the motorcycles to Dick's Wings for dinner.

As we were sitting there, we were both talking about how we need to loose weight. We're both in the worst shape we have been in years. So I'm going to try and ride my bicycle for at least 30 minutes 4 times this week. The only day I won't will be Thursday. I'll get my exercise walking around at Wal-Mart grocery shopping.

I'm going to keep track of my calories. I'm also not going to eat anything after 8:00 pm and only drink water. The scale at the doctor's office said 150 on Thursday. Granted that was when I was fully dressed and had my shoes on. So I go back on July 9, so I have little less than a month to lose some weight for our vacation.

Is it 5 yet?

Friday

Yesterday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I only had to pay $593 because of our new insurance. I was thinking it would be more like $745, so that was a blessing to save $150. I was only there for an hour. I got there at 10, didn't go back till 10:30 and was out the door by 11. It did hurt. I had a pain where I could feel it was inserted. But I do believe I could have driven home. I took 2 Tylenol and went to bed about 2. I woke up at 8, and felt fine. We had dinner and I took 2 Tylenol before bed. I'm not bleeding as much either for still being on my period. We have to use back up protection for 2 weeks. And I go back on July 9 for a one month checkup.

I have a slight pain, but nothing too serious.

We don't have a lot of plans this weekend.

I want to go to the book store with Jessie. Then she wants me to clean out her spare room to help fit a spare bed from Grandma's. Travis wants to cut down some more trees. And go get the swing from Grandma's. So hopefully we'll be able to get some stuff done.

We are going on vacation on July 18 to July 27. We're going to New York! I can't wait!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hump Day

It's Hump Day.

Half way through the week...

I'm glad today is a new day.

Yesterday was a crazy day at work.

It's supposed to get to 95 today with the heat index over 100. It makes me happy to know that at least Travis works at night now and he's not out in it all day. I still wish he was home with me to snuggle with at bedtime.

But what can you do...

I worked out last night and did part of my cleaning. I'll finish up tonight, then I won't have anything left to do but grocery shopping and laundry this weekend.

I talked to my aunt and grandma yesterday and Travis and I are going to get Mom's swing. That thing is so comfy and it'll be good to go read a book on outside.

I'll be glad when tomorrow is over with and done.

But at least I don't have to work.
Is it 5 yet?

Tuesday

It's Tuesday.

The phones are busy and everyone seems to have an attitude problem today.

Did everyone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

I would think so...

Well, I'm off of work on Thursday to go to the doctor for my Mirena.

Travis is going to drop me off.

He wasn't too keen on having to stick around and wait.

Jessie has an interview at 10 am (Keep your fingers crossed for her) and she's going to pick me up afterward and take me home. She also gave me some of her Vicodin to take when I get home for the bad cramps.

I wanted to have something on hand.

I'm getting nervous now...

Bella and Lilly are finally getting along for the most part. Bella mainly hides in the 2 back bedrooms, and you'll hear playing or running across the floor. I think she knows she's black and can hide. It's so cute to see her out and about. She was following Lilly around in the living room last night. Lilly will still hiss at Bella, but Bella don't care. Their doing very good together.

Is it 5 yet?

Ugh...

Weekends need to be a whole lot longer.

Whoever came up with work 5, off 2 days needs to be shot...

We had a pretty good weekend.

Friday I made Spaghetti for dinner. It was yummy. Then Travis and I looked at new bed sets. I showed him what I found online at work. Then we went onto EBay, and decided we're going to be buying it off of there. They had quite a few one we loved and you can get the whole set, decorative pillows included for about $100. One set had 600-thread Egyptian Cotton sheets included.

Saturday, Jessie, Holly and I were going to go swimming. But the rain decided to ruin that plan. So we picked up Holly, and had Wendy's for lunch. Then we went back to Jessie's and watched Sex in the City Movie. It's good a second time around. I don't like how half of it is a damn pity party. Then we went to my house so they could meet Bella. She's so cute.

Sunday, we were lazy at home. Travis built another shelf on his work bench in the garage and got it all cleaned up. I did laundry, swept, vacuumed, organized the linen closet and our bathroom.

We wanted to go to Box Seats for dinner and have wings and beer. So we get there, and their all out of Bud Light, Budweiser and Bud Select. So we said a pitcher of Mich Ultra. We were waiting at least 10 minutes for the damn slut to bring us our beer. She was too busy flirting at the cash register. So we got up and left and went to Times Grill. That place is awesome. We had burgers and beer. Great service too!

I'm going start keep track of what I eat, everyday and work out. Thursday will be messed up with the doctor appointment. But I do think Travis will be taking me. Or at least Jessie.

So not looking forward to it...

New Blog!

I've started a new weight loss blog.

I'll start Monday for serious.

I really want to do it for good this time.

Friday!

I'm so happy it's Friday!
This has been a long week...

Next Thursday is my appointment for the Mirena. I'm kinda nervous. I have to call them today. Travis doesn't want to come now that I told him they won't knock me out. So he wants me to find out what they'll give me when I go in. The doctor told me I would have to have someone drive me, but the nurse said that I would be fine. So I don't really know...

They also called in something at the pharmacy to help open me up for it.
So not looking forward to it at all...

We let Bella out all night long. Lilly is getting more used to her now. Bella still hides all the time, but at least she's out and about. Lilly has been so annoying in the mornings. She woke me 2 times yesterday, and 2 times today. At least an hour before I have to get up. She's more annoying than Bella.

Hopefully Jessie can find a job soon. She found out yesterday that it'll take a month to 2 months for them to process her letter, and that she should look else where. There isn't alot of jobs out there right now. But they at least have the money from Mom to help cover things. It would be alot worse if they didn't.

Not too many plans this weekend.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hump Day...

It's Hump Day.

That means we're on the downward spiral of the week.

I've been looking for ideas to do our master bedroom in. We're going to be in the house for at least 5 years, and I want a bedroom that looks like it came out of a magazine. I've found a few that I really liked yesterday. I can't wait!

I also have lots of other ideas to do around the house. But it takes time, and one day when it's all said and done, we will have a house that we can be proud of.

I worked out again last night. 2 days in a row.

I've also had a salad everyday so far for lunch.

I wish you could see a difference right away when you begin to work out. I think it would give people a bigger motivation. I know it would me.

I also took care of the pets too. Gave Buddy & Baby-girl a bath, and cleaned out their tank. It's so cute when their out of the tank. Bella doesn't even mind them. They'll sit side by side. I also soaked Mesozoic and his eyes are finally open! They haven't been open in at least 2 weeks. So now we can at least get the medicine in them.

I have a project on my desk that I started yesterday, and the bids were due last Monday. It's not my fault, it's Yancey's. It's been in here for at least 2 weeks before he even looked at it. It's not my problem.

Hope today goes by quick...

Blah

It's Tuesday.

Another day of work.

I'm just not in the mood today.

On the bright side, it's another beautiful day!

Is it 5 yet?

Mondays suck...

We had a good weekend.

We watched the MTV Movie awards last night. Travis actually watched the New Moon Preview with me. I don't think he'll ever watch the movies, not his thing.

I was impressed with it. They only showed the beginning of the movie. The birthday scene was excellent. The part I didn't like was the part of Bella and Laurent together. First they were in the forest at the point, and Victoria sent him after her. Second, Jacob was in his wolf form. Bella didn't know about the wolves or anything about Jacob at that point. And the wolf pack chased Laurent away and killed him.

Other than that, it's really good. I like the movies, but I love the books so much more. It's great to see them come to life!

I planted my grape tomato plants on Saturday night. I have 3 of them. I can't wait till they start blooming. I need to take some more pictures of things around the house. Maybe I'll do that this week.

I'm going to work out everyday this week. The total gym supra has a beginners program, that I'm doing to work up to the more advanced exercises. I'm going to have to really push myself.

I'm also going to be keeping track of my calorie intake.

Hope every one's Monday isn't too bad.
