another week gone by...

yes, another week, really busy one at that, has come and gone.  this past week at work was crazy for me, lots to do and take care of with lots of hours worked.  but I'm definitely catching up on my sleep this weekend!  I slept until 1 pm today, got up and dressed and went grocery shopping.  then came back home and took a nap!  now, I'm just sitting around watching NCIS Season 1. 

and doing some reading!  I'm a few pages away from being done with one book and excited to start the new Chelsea Lately book! 

ok, back to my TV and book!  have a good rest of the weekend :)

it's been a great week but...

I'm so glad it's over!!

the best part of the whole week was yesterday when Taryn called! it was so great to chat with her for a bit - I definitely miss her! now I'm ready for the weekend and some relaxing :)

what a weekend!

this last weekend I got some horrible, crazy news. my older sister, Lisa, needed surgery. major surgery. and they were not sure she was going to make it. so, Thursday evening I went home to Spring so I could be there Friday for her surgery. everything went fine. a robot performed the surgery, which makes the chances of bleeding out much less, and she got to go home this morning. obviously she's in a lot of pain, but thank God she's alive!

I took this picture not too long after she got to her room and she's obv. on a lot of drugs!!

this weekend, Sunday, was also my little brother's birthday and he got a new car!

he loves it and I drove it around a little Thursday night. love it!

then we went to eat at Kobe's for Brandon's birthday and we ate some great sushi and I even tried escargots for the first time! not bad...


and last but certainly not least, today I helped Sydney, my niece, make mums for her homecoming!


the mum on the bottom was one we made for her friend. I hope they'll love them! and now I'm back in Waco, sitting around, catching up on House. ready to go to bed and back to work tomorrow :)

it's just another Manic Monday!!!

ok, so I had a pretty crazy, event-filled weekend this past weekend! as you know, Saturday I went and looked a bike, bought it and picked it up Sunday! I love it! Here it is...

I definitely plan on riding it around Waco soon. as soon as it cools off...and I get the carrier in the mail I ordered for my boys! it's pink too and fits on the handlebars somehow, but both my boys get to ride around Waco with me! they are so excited :)

Kari also bought a bike on Sunday so we're planning lots of rides together soon.

in other news, I have a friend staying with me until she gets her own place (which will be Wednesday now because she found a house!) and Rex is such a bully! he usually likes everyone and every dog he has met (maybe not at first, but he always warms up). and my friend, Raquel, has two puppys staying with her at my place and Rex does not like them! the two girls are so precious and have been trying so hard to be nice to Rex, but everytime they come near him, he runs off towards them barking, with a horrible mean look on his face! he even went up to their kennel while they were hanging out in it (to be away from my dogs for a bit) and started barking at the door of it for no reason! he has been so bad lately. but he is still sooooo cute, gotta love him :) now Bo on the other hand, could really just care less. he's just glad he has more playmates around!

hope you have a good week :)

i don't have a title for this

I know it's been a little bit since I've posted. And honestly, I don't have too much to say at this point. But this past weekend my MOM was here! I was so glad that she came to hang out with me. We had so much fun.

On a side note, I'm sick, or something. My sinuses are really bad right now and I can't get any relief. I've taken all sorts of meds but nothing has helped. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get better soon.

And that's it for now...boring, I know, but I've gotta get some sleep :)

real quick...

my MOM is in town for the weekend! she's been here since Thursday night and is staying until Sunday! I'm so happy she is here. I'll write more later. Happy Saturday :)

wow, it's been a while

and sooooo much has happened! I've been really trying to be a little more crafty lately too and I've gotten a lot done! I also picked up the pieces I did last weekend at Practically Pikasso...check it out!

It turned out a lot cuter than I thought it would :)

This most recent weekend I went home Saturday-Sunday and had a great time. Friday was my mom's b-day, Saturday was my 8-year anniversary of being sober, and Sunday was my little sister's b-day. We had a great dinner out together and got some shopping done! While shopping I bought some more stuff to paint with and as soon as I got home Sunday night I did this...

The two above are the finished products! One side says IN and one side says OUT. I made them for myself and a co-worker to put on out office doors at work!

have a good day!

great weekend...

i had a great weekend...

i was off (sorta) Friday, Saturday and Sunday! my niece, Sydney came to town to visit and we had lots of fun! Friday we watched THREE movies (He's Just Not That Into You, What Happens in Vegas, and Bride Wars) and crafted.

we woke up early Saturday to go to Glen Rose, TX to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. it was awesome...we had a zebra follow my car for more food, a bill goat gruff looking thing get upset because we quit feeding him and he decided to gnaw at my car door handle and lots of other animals. i would totally recommend this place to anyone!

then i had to go to work at 7 pm...just until 10 pm though!

and Sunday morning i got a phone call from work (i was on-call all weekend) and someone didn't show up for their shift so at 7 am i headed to work...only until 9:15 am, thank goodness!

then we headed to Practically Pikasso. again, i have never been to this place before either, but it was so cool. we both painted two pieces and i can pick them up Thursday. so fun!

i had a long, great weekend with my niece and i look forward to doing it again :)

crazy loves crazy

so i had a very crazy, random weekend. i only had Saturday off from work and was really looking forward to relaxing. i woke up early Saturday morning and went and got my hair colored. i was hoping i wasn't going to have to drive to Teague (for my family's company) and when i found out i for sure wasn't going to have to i was thrilled.

i went home and finished a scrapbook i had started a really really long time ago. as i was cleaning up after myself, i accidentally knocked over a tall vase i have on the floor next to my couch in the living room. i cleaned it up and put it in a Walmart plastic bag. the bag started breaking so i decided to put that in a trash bag. i put the trash bag down on the kitchen floor and when i went to pick it up, my hand went right down onto a piece of glass that was sticking up. in between my thumb and pointer finger! it started gushing blood and my hand started tingling. i put my hand under running water then went and got the peroxide but i couldn't tell how bad the cut was. since my hand was tingling i thought the worst. i grabbed a dish towel, held it in my hand to control the bleeding and went to the ER. i was really dreading this but after two stitches and a tetanus shot, i was ready to go home - in only 1 hour!

then, when i got home my AC wasn't working - AGAIN! maintenance had already been by earlier Saturday to fix it. i called again and they said they would send someone to check it out. eventually i just went to bed and when i woke up this morning it was still horribly hot! i called maintenance again, got ready for work, and headed out. a few minutes later i get a call saying the AC is out and they might have to order parts but until then there is nothing they can do. do you know how hot it is in my apartment?!?!?! i didn't wanna keep my poor doggies in that heat so they are at a friend's house for the night and i may have to go somewhere else to stay too. wtf!!!

otherwise, my day off was good. had a good dinner with a friend and caught up on laundry.

hopefully the week ahead will be better though :)

end of a great weekend...

i had a great weekend this weekend and actually a great whole week. i got a lot done at work and i was off Friday, Saturday AND Sunday! Friday, i went to Corsicana and visit with a friend who's moved away. she has an adorable almost one year old son, Samuel, and i'm so in love with him! if allll kids were just like him, i would have 10!!

then, Saturday i spent some time shopping with a friend from work then hanging out Saturday night with a friend from Temple. nothing too exciting happened this weekend but it was so great to hang out with good friends and relax!

this next Tuesday is Wet-N-Wild day at Dogtopia! i got my boys bathing suits and they are soooo ready for the fun!

have a good week :)
