Friday =)

This week has been a fun filled week. Many events here and there. I learned a lot this week.


Lets do a fun facts, shall we?




1.) This week, I totally stooped down to a 5 year olds level. I just couldn't help myself. He announced he didn't have to listen to me, so two minutes later when he needed to talk to me, I told him the exact same thing. It didn't accomplish much. Really, it just prompted him to talk to me more about why I wouldn't talk to him. I love my job =)


2.) I wandered into Victoria's Secret earlier this week with a friend of mine and when the saleswoman caught me looking at bra's, asked if I needed to be fitted. I said no thanks, but she insisted, just to make sure I knew my 'proper' size. I reluctantly let her but stood my ground. Come on! I know my size! I've been dealing with my girls a long time now.


"You said you were in a 38C?" saleswoman asked.
"Yeah! I knew I was," I responded, a little proud a proved her wrong.
"Oh, honey you've been wearing the wrong size."


Turns out, I was wrong. And trying on the bra she recommended only made me realize what I was missing in my life. But when recommended bra was $49.95, I bailed. I hear Target calling my name this morning.


3.) I mentioned before Zach started a new job. Awesome! What's not awesome is he has become a chatty-kathy in the middle of the night. Every so often (which give or take is 20 minutes) he stirs, and just starts talking! Half the time I can't understand him. What he's saying is mumbled or jumbled around. Other times, he laughs. And twice he's grabbed me and told me to watch out for stuff. Mostly he chats about boats. It's weird.


Today is Friday, and I'm exhausted. I got no sleep last night. I mean, I've been up almost twenty-four hours. Lately, me sleeping is a miracle. It's just not happening for me. Today I'm sure will be uneventful. I have no plans. Just a ton of laundry. Hope you all have a good weekend!!

My current state of chaos

-I have NO carpet in my room anymore. Some one, I don't know who,(DAD) came and cut it out of my room. Did I mention he just cut around my furniture? There are four blocks of carpet left where my dresser, desk, bed and shelf unit sit. I have the glorious task of choosing a day to move this stuff and take the rest out. Sigh.


-Last night, I didn't sleep. I tried sitting in the dark, watching whatever was on TV, (which is nothing, but we'll soon hit that note), movie.. nothing worked. I got back online around 4am to watch YouTube videos and did that till 7. I had a three hour nap this afternoon, but I'm running on brain farts right now.


-Cable TV means nothing to me anymore. We have always had basic cable. Now, if that's what you have, you have NOTHING! We have channels 2-34. It used to be 2-82. There are no more than 5 watchable channels now, and my dad has no intention of getting the boxes to bring them back. Cry for me.


-Zach and I have fallen into a funk. You know, the ones that hit every relationship every now and then? Nothing dramatic, no real fighting. We've been picking at each other. He works a million hours a week, and we haven't seen each other lately. It's just one of those times. Yuck.


-I hate California this week.The weather was cooling off and then, BAM. Today it was hazy, muggy, scorching hot and overall, unpleasant. I had a hard time keeping my eyes open outside. It was awful. Bring on Fall!!!!!


-As hot as it was outside, double the temperature inside. My mom ran the air all day, but it magically kicked off when my Dad got home. The house immediately heated right back up. My room sits right below the attic and above the garage. You might as well plunk my bedroom in the middle of Palm Springs in the dead of summer. My room cannot stay cool on its own like the rest of the house. Even now at 11pm, there is no trace of a breeze outside.


-The worst part of all these complaints? It's only Monday. I wonder how much worse this week could get?

August already?

July was so filled with events, it kind of flew by. I've been away from my computer too much to even put in a significant blog about anything. Work, tons of family events.. I barely found time to sleep.


So far, August is looking bleak. I really am looking forward to it. Besides working, I have nothing to fill my calender with. That's a relief in itself.


Right now I'm sitting and waiting for laundry to dry. Exciting right? We just got home Sunday night from Santa Barbra. My cousin got married and it was a fun weekend. I'm going to leave you with some fun pictures we took there. They had a photo booth! The whole idea was you got in, took a couple strips of pictures and then made a page for the married couple make into a scrap book. The station was filled with black & white paper, sharpies and a bunch of stickers. Fabulous idea, no?


We decided to do two family pages for her. One with Aunts & uncles, the other with all the cousins. So I only had to give up one picture =)

Everything looks beautiful in black and white.

Eh, you know.

It's the end of a rough week, and I'm glad to see it go.


Zach got a new job! He's started Wednesday and has been working 12 hour days. I haven't seen him much, but I'm just thankful he's working. God knows we need the money.


I caught up with my lifelong friend Jessica yesterday, and that was a blast. We went out shopping and had a yummy dinner filled with gossip and catching up. We have been friends since kindergarten and have never lost touch. It's wonderful to have friends like that.


Today is Sunday, and I'm totally still wearing my PJ's. =] Since Zach is working all day today, I'm just going to kick it old school at home. Pick up some stuff, clean some stuff and then sit on the Internet all day. lol. Sounds like a plan.

In memory

It's not the best picture, but it's one of the only ones I have. That's my uncle. That was taken maybe two years ago. You couldn't tell he was sick. Thats how I love to think of him =]

Being there when he died wasn't easy, but it definitly brought some closure. We all knew it was for the best, it was what he wanted and everything would be okay. So far, so good. Nothing but sweet memories and good times with the family.

I'm definitley a changed person.

My uncle was one of the most loving people I knew. I miss him, but I treasure all the time we had with him. We're really lucky.

His memorial service is on Tuesday, and after that we're going swimming, having some drinks and BBQing. It's a celebration of his life. His curagious battle with ALS. We knew how hard he faught, how hard it was for him.

I know he's kicken' it up there. Drinking a Bud Light and playing 18 holes =]

I love you Uncle Jerry. I miss you.

Honest to blog

I'm scared.


The family dynamic is about to change, and I'm not sure if I'm ready. I'm not sure if anyone is ready.


This week is going to be a roller coaster with no brakes. Days pass slow, but after Tuesday, it will have seemed too fast. How do you pre-pair to say goodbye to someone? I don't know.


The ride begins..

What. A. Day.

Sometimes I truly wonder if I really do have 'Maid" tattooed on my forehead. Perhaps it's invisible ink and only the male species can see it.


I have a mountain of laundry to do today. Literally. I could put on my boots and hike up this thing. It's atrocious. So I did what every woman has done. Asked a guy to help.


I could probably convince Zac to pull his own teeth un-medicated before helping me with laundry.


There's a bunch of stuff that needs to be done around here today. Vacuuming, dusting, moping.. you name it, it needs to get done.


I'm in mood. Can you tell?

iGoogle

is AMAZING.


Is it sad that I am just figuring it out? Am I behind? I don't know. I decided to mess around on the computer a few minutes before I take off to work, and I discovered....iGoogle.


Now my 1 week off is over. Gotta get my work grove back on.
