I’m having a crappy day.

Failure

I got ticked off at work today, and I’m analyzing it to death. Right to death.

Knowledge

I had a crap-tacular day at work today, and then I had to go “fight fires” at work tonight after I’d been home for 2 hours. Plus! A super cute pic of my doggy and me!

Warmth

-Next-door neighbors we haven’t seen in months brought over home made jam and biscuits, and chatted about everything from our potential foster kids, to God’s divine providence in our lives.
-Iced mocha. I can’t help that it makes me so happy.
-Sunshine. Having a nice day to go to Michigan State to hang with my cousin, Tegan.
-Shopping [...]

Turning Point

Our favorite friends are by far The Brain Family: Trina and The Brain, Lexie and Lauren.
Tonight they took Rob and me out for my birthday (not until the 29th!) to Red Robin. We all stuffed our faces with great burgers and fries, and chatted and had a great time. Then we went to Borders and [...]

Under 24

Rob’s been gone under 24 hours still, and I haven’t even tried to go to bed. It’s 12:45 AM as I begin to write.
*sigh*
I went to a baby shower for Shelly, my coworker and her little girl Kayra on Sunday. It was a lot of fun and I was glad to hold the baby for [...]

Psychotic Break

I only wish that the ramp-up to Holidays with my family was a Psychotic Break.
The facts are quite simple:

My brother is a class-A Jerk.
My sister isn’t willing to help with making plans because she’s “in school and has a final coming up.”
I, on the other hand, need to “buck up! You  just have a job. You should quit [...]

Autumn Wasteland

I began thinking today… I know, could you smell the smoke?
I was wondering what, if the evil one didn’t have The Thing he has to torment me with, he use to torment me?
It’s true that there would probably be some lesser offense that I’d be tormented with… and if I ever did something worse than [...]

Shelly’s Belly (Part 3)

Rob and I went to see Shelly at the Hospital this evening. Her tummy is getting so big. She will be at 32 weeks on Thursday, and so they will induce her in the morning. Hopefully I can go to Lansing before work on Friday and take 8 million pics of the new baby Kayra, [...]

Bizarre Bazaar

I’m so here… and I’m so busy. Today is my first “free” Saturday in FOREVER. So I’m packing it to the gills with stuff like sewing, cleaning, cooking, more cleaning, crocheting, more cooking, and also visiting friends later. Oh, and I’m listening to Podcasts.
On Wednesday this week, my mom and I made three bouquets like [...]

Going Through Pictures

What started out as rebooting laundry, turned into a 2 and a half hour job this afternoon. I’d gotten up from a short nap and went to sort a little laundry, when I spied a box of photos and scrapbooking stuff  on the floor of the guest room. (The guest room which apparently we’re supposed [...]

Wackadoodle

Word Games
I love to morph words. One of my favorites is a combo of Wacky and Cockamamie, and it’s this:
Wackamamie. [wack a MAY me]
I say it all the time. “Look at my hair today. It’s wackamamie,” or, “Oh my goodness. My sister just got this wackamamie huge raise,” or, “Rob, what kind of sandwich is that? [...]

Thunderstorms and Parties

The forecast for this entire day is thunderstorms.
OK so we had some hail a week ago. Other than that, we’ve had ZERO rainy days this entire summer.
And so, the day of our 60-person party? T-storms the live-long day. Well darnitall.

No Gnus

No Gnus is Good Gnus, says Gary Gnu.
Not pregnant. But that doesn’t mean anything… yet.
I’m soooo tired. Got the HP book but am only in chapter 2 because I was sewing all day. Rob was painting all day. And we ALWAYS read HP together. We’re our own book club.
**hugs**
