It's Monday!

and I was off and running early this morning. I have a lot to get done today at work before I leave for VA tonight. I'm all checked in with the airline and I've printed my boarding passes. I'm getting uber excited to go see my family. It's been 2 months since I've seen Sister B, and 8 months since I've seen the rest of my family. Needless to say this week will be fabulously full of awesome-sauce. WOO HOO!!!

If I have time at work today I will set up a few posts for later this week to post while I'm gone so you wont' miss me too much....but I make no gaurantees. I'm not taking any sort of laptop with me, there will be plenty of computers to access while in VA, but I'm not really planning on staying on top of my Gmail,  Facebook, Twitter, or Google Reader. I'll try to deal with it all when I get back, but it will be slow going.

I think that's it. Basically I won't be on the internets for the next 5 days. Don't miss me too much okay? okay. :o)

Fridays free my soul

Sigh. I love Fridays. I really do. Today, even though I have to work, I am excited that it is Friday. Tonight I have several things planned. I have a HUGE to-do list before my vacation that I leave for Monday night. On Monday night I leave to fly to VA to see my family and hang out and enjoy SUMMER one last time before ballet classes start up again. I'm rather excited. It's semi-quick, but will be fun regardless. :o)

1. Life is a roller coaster and I love it. Somedays.

2.Sometimes you just have to keep going.

3. My last text message (or IM) ended in these three words: thanks love. bye.

4. Pasta with alfredo sauce is what I'm thinking about for dinner sometime soon.

5. On the 1st day of August I slept in and taught Sunday School at Church.

6. I have been described as lively and energetic.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting my nails done, tomorrow my plans include several different tasks to clean my apt. and Sunday, I want to take a walk!

Tuesday Ten

note from the editor: This was SUPPOSED to post on Tuesday. It really was. I had EVERY intention of it going through. I'm not sure what happened. Sorry y'all. So I guess it can be...Ten on Thursday! :o)

You guys. I fail at trying to sleep. I was in bed just afte 10:30p (with the lights off around 10:45) and then it took me AT LEAST an hour to fall asleep. It was the worst thing ever and I thought I was going to die when the alarm clock went off this morning. Never mind that I had odd dreams about the ballet studio I teach for and what not. Sigh. Today has been semi-long and I am definitely looking forward to the toddler birthday party that is tonight. Little kids are just SO MUCH FUN!

Anyways. It's time for Ten on Tuesday. you know the drill.

1. What is your current favorite television show?
Well. My favorite shows are not on right now because it is summertime. I LOVE the cake shows on TLC and the food network though. They are fun to watch. However, they always make me want cake. Mmm...Cake.

2. Apple juice or orange juice?
OJ. I love a tall glass of OJ in the mornings. Wakes me right up. I won't say no to Apple Juice though. It's yummy too.

3. It’s Shark Week on Discover Channel. Do you watch? Why or why not?
negatory. I do not need to scare myself silly with shark shows.

4. What are the non-blog websites that you visit regularly?
Facebook, Twitter, Woot, and...the comics.

5. What is your favorite way to prepare green beans? Asparagus? Potatoes? Carrots?
I love steamed green beans. Asparagus is amazing grilled. I have a killer mashed potoato recipe that I enjoy but I love potatoes regardless of how you cook them and carrots....carrots are good no matter what you do to them.

6. What is your favorite flower?
I love fresh flowers, but my absolute favorite is a Gerbera Daisy. SO PRETTY!

7. How do you feel about handkerchiefs?
Well. I don't use them. At all. I have one or two? maybe? but I really am "meh" on the whole issue

8. If you could only shop at 3 stores for the rest of your life, what would they be? (You probably should include a grocery store.)
hmmm.This is a toughie. I'm going to go with my favorite local grocery store: Macey's, DownEast for their super cute clothes and Target for everything else I need because they are nicer than Walmart.

9. If you could only use wine for one purpose for the rest of your life, which would you choose? To cook with or to drink?
hmm. I have never had a glass of wine. I guess cooking. I used it once in a recipe and it was good, but i have no other purpose for it in my life. so that's easy.

10. What’s your bedtime?
Well. I TRY to start getting ready for bed around 10p (change into pj's, read scriptures and whatever fiction novel i am reading and brush my teeth, etc.) and lights are out usually by 10:30p. This is pushing my ability to wake up at 6 am for work...but i can do it. Most days. My body has been rebelling as of late though and hates sleeping. Stupid body.

Stormy Wednesday

I woke up to awesome thunder early this morning. I then promptly snuggled deeper into the covers and fell asleep to the sound of rain and thunder above me. sigh. It was wonderful.

THEN at work this afternoon another storm seemed to be coming towards us from the North. Alas, it skipped us and went more westerly rather than southerly. sigh.

Anyways. Enjoy your Wednesday. I'm going to get my hair done. Best way to spend a hump day night in the whole wide world.

The following is how I feel about today:

Mondays are full of hangovers

I did get sleep this weekend. But I definitely feel the wake of being up late basically every night from Thursday to Saturday. Basically I feel hungover. Not that I know how it really feels, but I'm going to pretend.

Yesterday I went to bed early, but then I just couldn't fall asleep. It was so sad. So I'm feeling slightly tired. (why is it I never sleep well on Sunday nights? ugh.)

This week should be full of fun though. I have a birthday party, a hair appointment, a nail appointment, and one last weekend before I see my family! I leave one week from today to fly to Virginia for a little vacay with my family! I am so excited! We're going to go shopping, visit some sites in DC, see Inception, play at the water park, take family pictures and just have SO MUCH FUN!!!

So yeah. Definitely looking forward to the next week being OVER. I am so done with it. I am also done with August. August is a blechy month. Seriously, whoever invented August should be shot. September is just so much better. Can we have two Septembers this year? Please?
