HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

she is turning 65. WOW officialy old enough for social security and medicare. also a reminder that my birthday is coming up fast. oh and my brother's (he just had to come the day before my birthday). my family likes to clump birthdays and anniversaries. between the begining of july and the end of august there are 14birthdays (including mine) and 4 anniversaries. the number keeps growing so i can hardly remember them all. i know i am getting old but my cousins keep having kids and getting married in the summer and i loose track.
since mine is coming up i have had a wish list for my birthday for years that the top 3 are finally be within my reach. what are they?? marriage kids and a house. i don't even care what order. since we are looking at houses and trying to get pregnant it looks i will be getting 2 out of 3 for sure before the end of the year or sooner (keep your fingers crossed). so let the count down begin 13 days until my birthday . yeah!!!

hurray for friday

now hurry up and be over. this has been the longest day ever. it is the middle of summer so my work is slow. i am enjoying the slower pace but not the boredom that comes with it. there isn't even any tv to catch up on. wah wah i know stop crying many people would love to be bored at work.
i am looking forward to this weekend we are going to look at a house and we are pre approved for a mortgage. so wish us luck i really want a house but i am going to hate packing up to move and all the hoops we need to jump through before settlement. still it is great that we can get out of the apartment we are in right now. it is not to small just not ideal for having a dog. i can't wait to be able to open the door and let winnie go out and not have to go with her every time. since my dog has to go every 1-1/2 to 2 hours that will be the best part of home ownership. also being able to do what ever i want to the walls and floors without worring about losing my security deposit.
the rest of the weekend we have nothing to do and i plan to keep it that way i want to lounge by the pool and read on sunday with nothing to do. it will be the first weekend in over a month with little or no plans. oh heaven!!!

wednesday again

now that yesterday is over i am feeling bad to normal again. i was so happy to see the end of the day and get some sleep. although nothing bad happened i really hate feeling so out of it.
we are still house and mortgage hunting so no real news on that front but hopefully this weekend we will work on making a baby since that is prime time. hehe
not much else is going on today i am hoping for a nice quiet day at work and then taking winnie to my parents while i go to my other job. see you tomorrow

i'm having a blonde day

yes i am blonde. naturally into my 20's and now by choice. usually i am not the typical blonde but today is going to be one of those days, i can tell. i am tired after getting to bed late last night so my blondness is coming out and it is not even 9 am yet. when i got up this morning i heard the low battery beeping on my cell phone so i plugged it into the charger. i need to make several calls today and would rather use my phone than the work phone. of course it is still in the charger at home and i am at work. i need to make several calls and i have written them all down so i don't forget who i have to call(that took 15 min of wracking my brain and i still think i am missing one i need to make). i know i will spend then rest of today feeling like i am forgetting something or making mistakes, i probably won't but once my day starts out like this i will feel behind and off center all day. oh well there is always tomorrow. wish me luck

look at me i'm a winner

well the weekend was great. i had ablast playing in the pool with my neice, nephew, cousin, and her daughter. it was 95 and humid the perfect day to spend in the pool. the penny party was a blast. i won lots of great prizes. gift certificates for food and jewelry and to museums. lots of fun for all. my niece won a game and the stuffed toy she really wanted and my nephew got a t-shirt and a gift cert for papa john's pizza.
sun we were looking at houses and helping my boyfriend's sister move. now that was an adventure. first we went to her storage bin to drop off things they will not need. then we helped them move their big things into their mom's house. she has a twin house and they will be moving into the 3rd floor 2 flights of stairs with a turn between 2nd and third floors. ac units, dresser and night stands no problem. then we took on the bed. frame was easy, box springs a bit more difficult but they got upstairs then the beast a king size mattress. it took four people to move, 2 pushing and 2 pulling. we inched this mattress up the steps. it went something like push go up a step , push move up a step, ect. after 20 minutes it finally made it all the way to the top and on the frame. then we all colasped. after that we went home to relax and enjoy the rest of our sunday. while we were busy moving things our puppy got to play with his mom and sister's dogs. she was exhauted too. that did make us very happy. a quiet evening at home watching movies.

TGIF

i am so happy it is friday!!!! this has been such a long week after the last 2 being short because of vacation and the 4th of july. to makes thing even more fun flo came and brought a friend with a jackhammer to pound in my head. nothing like a 3 day headache with a migarine start and finish. i am so happy flo only lasts 3 day most months.
i have been looking forward to sat for so long. my cousin and i planned this weekend back around easter so we have both been excited for months. for her going to the pool was a treat and i miss going since this is the first summer since i was in college that i no longer get to go anymore. my neice and nephew are excited as well they have been wanting to go with me all summer and every weekend i tried to plan going are the ones it rained or something else came up. they have been counting the days this week as excited as i am.
hopefully i will get some pictures of all the fun and maybe i will even get a chance to post vacation and pool pics to flicker.( no promises )
have a great weekend all

hump day

i am so happy it is wednesday. 2 more days til the weekend. i am excited for this weekend. my cousin and her daughter are coming over to go swimming in the pool i grew up going to every day all summer as a child. i love to swim and the pool is my favorite place to be on a hot summer day. not only is my cousin and her daughter going so is my mom , dad, neice and nephew and to make things even better it is the anual penny party at the pool. what could be better than a hot summer day at the pool that involves prizes. i save all year and usually come home with prizes totaling more than i spend and the profits go to support the swim team. since i was a member of the first team we ever had at that pool i can't resist supporting the team. now if i could only make the next 2 days fly by i would be a happy lady.
