Happy New Year

My hope is for all of my friends out there to have a happy and healthy New Year! 

I'll be back next week with a more positive outlook and hopefully some more interesting content!!!

Randoms and Stuff

Been thinking of moving over to WordPress... feedback is welcome!

My mailman hates me.  I didn't get my mail for a little over a week.  So he put a 10-day hold on my mail.  I went to the post office yesterday to get it and the guy couldn't find it.  WTF?!  So annoyed!

Milli peed on  my bed.  Again.  For the 4th time in the last two months.  Which means I've had to wash ALL of my bedding four times in the last two months.  Duvet, comforter and all!  I'm so done with the puppy-stage!  That's her on the kitchen table, coming to say hello.

The "non-girlfriend" is back at my house.  I'm less than thrilled about this.

I have a severe case of eczema on both of my hands, and I suspect, my left foot.  It's really ugly.  And annoying.  I've tried almost everything.  Any suggestions?

I've been a crafting fiend this week.  I'm making lots of fun goodies for gifts this year and I hope everyone likes them!

I'm so over the dogs barking, I could scream!  They bark at E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!!!

I think I'll start spraying them with the squirt bottle. 

I need a vacation in the worst way.  And I have no money.  So there goes that idea.  Good thing I started back at yoga, huh?

Have I mentioned my TV is on the fritz?  Well, word on the street is that Santa is bringing me one.  I can't wait to have a TV that actually turns on without having to hold down the power button indefinitely.

I lurve my new iPhone.  And now I want an iPad.  I'll be taking donations...

I miss my man so incredibly much.  Have I mentioned I hate that he lives in TX now?  Seriously.  It's effing lame.  We're having a webcam date on Sunday.  I'm sooo excited to see him!

BigMamaCass is having a Boy!  I was really hoping for a girl, but ya know, it's not my baby... it's just so much more fun to shop for girl clothes!

Sometimes I think I want kids.  Sometimes I don't.  Hmmm.... what to do, what to do?

Over- Under- And All-Around Whelmed

I'm overwhelmed with work.  Have been for about 3 weeks now. 

I'm underwhelmed at home.  I've got so much that needs to be done and no motivation to do any of it.

I'm cranky.

I'm sick of the dogs barking at EVERYTHING on TV.  From the "We Bought A Zoo" trailer, to the "TinTin" commercial, to Nelson Mandela.  It's getting old.

My house is a wreck.

My room looks like a tornado ripped through it. 

There are piles of laundry sitting on the floor that need to get done.

Let's not even talk about what else is all over the floor.  Damn dogs!

I need to get my life organized. 

I need to get my house organized. 

I need to start/finish Christmas shopping.

I need to finish making the Christmas gifts I have sitting in the corner of the kitchen.

I need to redecorate my house.

I need more money. 

I want to bake and make some nummy recipes... but I suck in the kitchen.

Pretty sure I need to go to yoga.

Oh well.  This has been a great post after being gone for two weeks, huh? 

Can anyone cheer me up???



Happy Birthday... To ME!

Today is my birthday... well, at least for another 30 minutes.  Or, 54 minutes, if you want to count an entire 24-hour period from the minute I was born.  In either case, it's almost over.  And it was pretty anticlimactic.  But that's ok.  I think that's what happens when you turn 32.  Holy shit, that looks weird to type.  Anyhoodle, I'm so unbelievably happy that I didn't have to spend my birthday alone in a hotel room this year.  I'd rather be home and bored, than on the road and alone! 

I started my day by sleeping in a bit, working for a while, and then listening in on a conference call.  I'll stop so you can contain your jealousy.  I met my mom, my aunt Carrie and Janice at Salt City Burger and had a very yummy birthday lunch, then went in search of a case for my new phone.  Finding one I like is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated!  Suggestions???  Anyone???

After I got home, I worked for a while and then went over to my mom and dad's house for dinner.  We had steak and the leftover pasta that I made the other night.  I helped my dad figure out some apps on his iPad and hung around for a bit.  Kind of a nice, low-key night chillin' with the fam. 

The highlight of my day though, was the gift I got from my parents... A spankin' new Kindle!!!  I've been wanting an e-reader for a while now and am sooo super excited to have one!  I realized how difficult reading on the plane is for me (motion sickness, cramped space, heavy hardbacks, etc.) and decided a Kindle would be a good investment.  I'm actually looking forward to my trip next week so I can really put it to use!

In anticipation of the arrival of my pressie, I ordered myself a cover for it last week and it should be arriving tomorrow.  It was on sale, so I don't need a lecture!  But you can tell me how cute it is...

And can I just tell y'all how much I love my iPhone!?  It's fabulous!  I'm sure it'll take me 3 months to figure out all its functionality, but for now, it's great.  If anyone has any suggestions for apps you absolutely can't live without, lemme know!

Hope y'all are having a great week!!!
