November 2010

It's November!!!!

I will turn 32 in 13 days. I typo'd 32 and hit 21 at first. I liked that better.
I will leave for Louisiana in the morning, and will come back here after Christmas, then back to Louisiana for good in March.
Today was an excellent day. I met my mother and fam at The Wynfrey Hotel in the Riverchase Galleria, in Hoover, and went spent the entire day shopping and then ate dinner at Olive Garden.
Right now I should be packing and getting things organized, but I am doing this while my sister is telling me to get off here and do my nails....

Eating our "snack". My mom's Blackberry takes excellent pictures.


In the hallway. Not sure why, LOL



The mini frig and the insane price list

Today I endured the longest ride ever. My mom got to my house around noon, we loaded the UHaul, and got on the road. It's almost 2am. We haven't been here long. Between the rain, having to drive 60mph, the pee stops, and the shopping, it was not a 7.5 hour trip like I am used to. But it wasn't bad at all. I took some pics, but they're on my Blackberry, and I don't have cell signal, so I will have to wait until I go closer to "town".
I miss Scott already...

I had to hijack my mother's laptop. Her keyboard is hands down the best I've typed on. I am exhausted! I slept til almost 11am, but I am recovering from the last few days on just a couple of hours a night.
I remembered to upload the pics from my Blackberry today "in town" where I get a smidge of a signal...

Here are the travel pics from yday-

Someone PLEASE buy me these!


Chillin' in Target



Bored about 5 hours into the ride...



Welcome to Mississippi. Here's a hole..


Our convoy-





Dinner at Applebees-






All the junk that wouldn't fit in the Tahoe, or "Toe-ha" as I called it-



These I took today. Sent them while I had signal-
In the Walmart in Natchitoches, LA, I suppose it's common to have a trail of chicken bones leading you back to your destination-



And shopping with toe wedges...


And....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEVEN, MY FAVORITE BROTHER IN LAW!!!!





My mom's version of Weight Watchers

I am going to call it a night. I will go "train" tomorrow and Friday.
If Bailey will allow me to sleep that is...
And there is also a cow trying to get out of the pasture. #SwampLife

So today was my "training day" at Skippity~Doo~Da. It wasn't that busy at all, so I worked until 2. It was fun, I cleaned, I smiled, I talked baby names, fluffed tutu's...
Now I am home for the day, watching tv with my sisters :)

Had to stop by the tire place before work...
I've never seen an a/c protected this way...and waiting for the tire



My friend Jason came by :)

I spent almost the entire day outside. I can't remember how long it's been since I have done that.
I mostly just sat and read, and then my cousin Casey came by with her son Hunter. He doesn't cry when he sees me now! he is so beautiful!!

He was sneaking up on the sunglasses, thinking he would get in trouble..
It was a success!









My daddy sits in his truck all the time and reads the paper..



I am overloaded with estrogen..got my hair "did", nails and toes "did", and a lip wax. I know you wanted to know that.

Thursday, November 11, 2010

It's been a very boring week. It's too slow at Doo~Da for me to work, so I've just been hanging around with my sisters.
Tomorrow we will go "to town" and my birthday is Saturday!!!
I love and miss my hubby. Christmas can't get here quick enough.

I've been on a blog roll...
Things overheard at my mother's house

Veteran's Day

The Art of Racing in the Rain

And Bailey is driving me nutso with Harry Potter movies at bedtime. Sharing a room with a 12 year old IS about the same as my 35 year old husband though...

Friday, November 12, 2010

Went shopping today, ate a yummy lunch at Trail Boss with my sisters. Today is my last day of being 31 :( Hopefully tomorrow won't be an ass day.

Happy Birthday to me!!

It's cold and rainy outside. Lovely.

I took all 4 corners!!


I tried to get the rain dripping off of the house (not sure why part of the code shows up on the next couple of pics. Don't click on it :|



My beautiful sister Bailey

Me and Tracy in Olive Garden


Chicken Marsala. It was worth the hour drive to Shreveport


Horrid

We bought so much stuff, the Tahoe was packed and I had to ride with a light up pig in my lap

Sunday, November 14, 2010

Didn't leave the house much. Started reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again, so I can be ready for the movie in a week or so.
~

Monday, November 15, 2010

Got up early, went to buy groceries with my mom and sister. Ate yummy Chinese food at Lucky Village.
Helped my mom clean house, and it WASN'T MY FAULT the clock was wrong and I was late in picking up Bailey. I felt like poo anyway.
Now we're just hanging around in pj's. Cold, rainy day.

My life story will cost a penny

Once again, I hate everything. And everything hurts.

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

I have been walking every night on the track. Last night, I had to cut it short two laps because I had to pee and had a catch in my hip. FML. I hate aging. Today is Day 2 of the Lord of the Rings marathon Rebecca and I are having. PLUS, it's badge day.
Still not much going on here. I don't start work until Saturday. But I am getting a lot of reading done.
I miss my husband terribly, but he knows this (should be) the last time we'll be apart. I always had to either be in Alabama with him, or here in Louisiana with my family, (because everyone has to work), so that's when I made the decision last January I wasn't doing it anymore. It may be selfish to uproot mine and Scott's lives, but I never wanted to be faced with the decision "him or them".
I haven't been posting many pics, like I am supposed to, but I have no Blackberry signal, and the camera card is never in the camera.
*Hangs head* I will do better...

Today was a bad day for my possessions. *Unnamed sister* accidentally poured 44 oz of Dr Pepper on my laptop, camera card, journal, notebook, and my Bible. I hair dryed the Bible, but I am not sure about it's current state.

(okay I stopped typing and forgot about the rest of the day, my bad.)

Saturday, November 20, 2010

Today I worked 10 hours. So tired. But it was Open House on the Riverbank in Natchitoches. I got to see old friends, it was great!






This...is a meat pie. A Natchitoches, LA specialty:

Sunday & Monday

I don't recall doing anything of importance.
I got a new Blackberry though! And I walked 8 laps on the track. Epic.

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Today we went grocery shopping, and went to Longleaf Vista at Kisatchie National Park. I only have a few pics, my sister took most of them, but she is currently holding her camera hostage.

I will upload them tomorrow since I am running on 4 hours sleep and Dt Mtn Dew here..

November 30, 2010

I have missed several days, but it's been the same old thing. I work, I fluff tutu's, I make sure people don't thieve, I sleep, I read. I did take some cute pics, so here ya go. Happy November end!
