Spring? Is that you?

Let me just say how happy I am that it was nice out this weekend. I mean seriously, I am so fed up with the cold. I spent the entire weekend outside, and it was fantastic! I pulled weeds out of my flower beds and turned the dirt so they are ready to go when I buy some plants. I also made a new flower bed around a tree in my back yard. The tree is really the remains of a tree, but is too high (in my opinion) to be considered a stump. I will have to take a pic and you can decide.

Sunday after church I went to visit my grandfather. He was feeling pretty spunky and was sitting outside enjoying the sun. After leaving pappy, I went home and sat out on my porch and watched the birds and squirrels. So, it was a pretty lazy day.

When Tony came home on Sunday he was digging in front of our shed, basically just messing around and found an underground "space" beside our garage. It looks as though it was supposed to be a housing for a propane tank and an access to the water line. I will be sure to get a picture of that as well.

So, how was everyone else's weekends? Relaxing I hope!

***side note: I just wanted to let everyone know that sometimes I am slow at reading the comments, but I will do my best to respond because you guys are the best!! So, please don't think I'm being snobby...just pokey ;0)

What a way to start the day!

When my alarm clock went off this morning I was pissed as usual...how dare it want to wake me out of a good sound sleep...bastard. So, I get my lazy butt out of bed, which means I had to pull my legs out from underneath Buddy to do so. I stumbled to the coffee pot and fixed myself a cup of joe. OK, so none of this is really exciting and is par for the course most mornings. BUT, when I went to get a shower this morning I took Buddy into the bathroom with me. This is not abnormal as he doesn't like to eat by himself, so I kill two birds with one stone and bring his bowl in while I am getting ready. He eats and is done by the time I am so it all works out. So, I got in the shower and Buddy was on the rug in front of the tub as usual. I begin washing my hair and I feel a draft. I rinse my face and open my eyes and there is a furry brown head poking in through the curtain trying to drink the shower water. I laugh at him and ignore it (he likes to drink from the spigot). By the time I get to conditioner, he's still watching me. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't particularly like being watched in the shower, even if it is just the dog.

I continue to try to ignore him when all of a sudden, he decides it would be a fabulous idea to join me in the shower. That's right, he just hopped in the shower like that was exactly what he was supposed to do. I am standing there laughing, wet, and soapy, wondering what the hell I am going to do with a soaked dog who, as soon as he gets out and shakes off is going to cover my bathroom in wet dog fur...GAH! He is so lucky I like him ;0)

So, needless to say I had to clean my bathroom, dry my dog, wash the shower out, and then I was able to get dressed and ready for work. Amazingly I was only two minutes late. I'd say that's an interesting way to start out, don't you? How do you start your day out...cool and calm, or calamity and chaos (feeling dramatic today, can you tell? ;0))

I hope everyone has a good Thursday! How do you like the pink? Too much?

If not for bad luck I would have none at all

You know I really hate being such a drag, but I don't have a good thing to write. Not one thing. I have been having nothing but shitty luck. I've been fighting mild depression. I totally suck guys, I'm sorry.

I mentioned before that I had been cut back to part time at work. Well, I am finally at a point where I HAVE to look for something else. I have been at my job for 6 years and I have a great boss (most of the time) who treats me like a daughter. I am sickened at the fact that he will have no idea what to do if I go elsewhere. He has no computer knowledge at all and barely gets his own work done. The way the economy is right now there is just no business.

I had a job interview yesterday for a part time position and was involved in a minor car accident. Everyone is fine...I have no damage to my car, but the other driver has some scratches, so that means I have to pull my $500 deductible out of my ass, as I have no money right now.

The one nice thing that I can think of is that I took my grandfather a fresh salad, apple caramel crumb cake, and apple cider for dinner tonight and he smiled at me like I was the best person in the world, that was nice. ;0)

It is never fun to start over in anything, weather it be work, relationships, or home. Don't get me wrong I am discouraged, disappointed, and frustrated, but in light of the Virginia Tech shootings I should hold my tongue and be thankful that none of my family or friends were killed in the tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who were touched by this horrible event.

Here is to hoping for better days!!

28 and holding

Well, 28 years ago today, my poor mother was in the hospital having an impatient child removed from her tummy! That's right today is my birthday ;0) I was born 6 or 7 weeks early, I am not sure exactly. Mom teases me that I was in a big hurry to be on with it. I weighed in at a whopping 2lbs 7oz...I know what big baby huh.

My mom called me this morning at 8:10 (time I was born apparently) and sang to me, so that was a funny way to start off. I have no idea what we will be doing tonight, but hopefully I won't have to cook ;0)

One more day till Friday...yay for that. I hope everyone has a great day! I am going to try to.

Bunnies and Candy and Eggs and Ham and...oh yeah Jesus

I am so freakin glad that it is Friday! This was a week that I just could not wait to be over with. It is of course Good Friday, which means that...duh Sunday is Easter. I know, I am so bright sometimes. Anyway, speaking of the Easter Bunny...I wanna know why that bastard doesn't bring me a basket...I deserve chocolate and jelly beans just as much as the kids do ;0). Just kidding...kinda.

My Easter weekend will be busy, but not as bad as usual, so that is good. Either tonight or tomorrow I will be making peanut butter eggs for Easter favors for the adults...yummy. I will be making a small basket for Tony, just because if I were to make one for all the nieces and nephews, I would be broke. Sunday, I will be going to the sunrise service at church where we get to light candles...should be very nice. We will be having lunch at my parents' house and we will be taking my grandfather (as long as he feels up to it) and then dinner at Tony's parents' house. So, I should be a fat cow by Sunday evening.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a Happy Easter. May the Easter Bunny bring you lots of goodies, but no rabbit poop ;0)...Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way...

Something good needs to happen

Things just have not been too peachy in Missyland lately. My grandfather's trip to the hospital was the start of two crappy weeks. I don't remember if I mentioned it (and I'm too lazy to look) but the doctors finally let Pap come home. He is doing well and is happy to be out of the hospital. Here is a list of the other shit that has been going on recently:

• My hours at work got cut back, which means I am part-time now.
• I have been unsuccessful in finding a part-time job to make up what I lost at my current job.
• My niece turned five (not bad...just made me feel old)
• One of my very close friend's brother committed suicide...he was only 30
• Work has been bad due to some people's attitudes.
• The newbie left and we hired another newbie, so I have to train him.
• I have so much housework to do I could scream.

As you can see, things have been less than great, so I would really like for something nice to happen. I don't think I can take much more negativity. So, I hope everyone's week is going well so far! Happy Wednesday ;0)
