Confirmation

I have gotten more compliments on this.

A guy that used to work here just came in.
I hugged him.
He said, "Damn! You smell great! What do you have on!?!"

I just love being a woman!

He is young, cute and used to be an exotic dancer.
I wonder if I could get him to dance for me? ;-)

6 Random Things

I considered myself "tagged" after reading Manslut's post where I am to list 6 random facts about myself. Sitting here thinking, I am not sure I can list six, but here goes...

1. I was born premature. I almost died. They told my mom and dad I would not live through the night, but if did, I would be blind and crippled. I am none of those.

2. Someone anonymously paid half of my hospital bill from when I was born. My parents believe it was the doctors. Because I was so premature for that time, they wrote about me in a medical journal. I dont know the name or where to find it.

3. I have an indention on the top of right thigh, it is a muscle attached to the bone. They gave me a shot when I was born and the needle pushed the muscle down. Growing up, coaches and gym instructors would often ask my mom if I had broken that leg. They said I treated that leg like it had been broken.

4. I have never broken a bone in my body. I have broken my brother's finger and my mom's finger.

5. I didnt know I had an older sister until I was 24 years old. She is 4 years than me.

6. I went to college to be a high school English teacher.

Cant Believe It

Wow. Can you believe that I have actually been too busy at work to post? I know, me either. But I have been! Been busy emailing. lol

But despite that, I have been a pretty good mood, contrary to my last post. This week has been a good one so far. In fact I was in such a good mood this morning at work , someone asked me if I had 'drank' my breakfast! lol noooooo...not yet at least, but I may try it soon.

Actually, I used to add Irish Cream to my coffee every day. Then someone told me it was alcohol. I never really thought about it or the fact that I had to go to the liquor store to buy it. I mean "duh Kris!", but there surely isnt that much alcohol in it, is there? But come to think of it, my days were much happier when I drank it in the mornings. lol

Note to self: go to liquor store after work and purchase Irish Cream

Guys and Sports

Ok, so I am not an “ordinary” girl. I like football!

I remember being in Junior High PE class. My teacher was one of the boys’ football coaches. One day he said, “Okay, today I am going to teach you girls how to play football.” We learned the positions, offense, defense, 1st and ten, 2nd, 3rd and whatever. I know what a punt is and why they do it. Anyway, I know I enough to enjoy the game. I love it! So put me outside in the football stands and I am a happy camper.

My second eye opening experience with men and sports was in college. I decided for one of my PE electives to take golf. Once again, I learned all the terminology, par, birdie, eagle, mulligan, hole in one. (noooo, its not what you are thinking either! dirty minds!) For class we had to drive out to the driving range, sign in, hit a bucket of balls and we were free to go. Amazing what kind of college education your parents' money can buy! I never actually got to ever play a round of golf and I still haven’t. But I love to watch a golf tournament tv. My daughter took golf lessons a few summers ago. She came in second in the tournament they had for her age group. There were four girls. Did you know that more girls’ golf scholarships go unclaimed than any other???

Anyway, this is a great way to meet guys too! ;-)

Happy Sunday

Am I the only one that makes comments on other blogs and then I cant remember who's blog it was???

And by the way, I hate blogger. I had a good, indepth post written yesterday and blogger ate the damn thing.

Oh and can anyone tell me where all the freakin socks go in the washing machine??? I have a pile of one socks without a match.

I gotta go work out...

Dang I am tired and not feeling. But I keep repeating to myself,

"I gotta go work out, I gotta go work out, I gotta go work out, I gotta go work out,I gotta go work out,I gotta go work out..."

Hey JW, look...that was all copy and pasted. lol :-p

I didn’t go work out last night. Now wait a minute before you all start harassing me and listen to why. I packed my gym bag yesterday morning. I didn’t have any yoga pants clean, they were in the dryer, and so I was supposed to 'remind' myself to grab a pair out of the dryer. I get to work and halfway through the day I remembered I forgot to get a pair. I didn’t think it was in my best interest to go work out in dress pants or with out pants at all!

I instead stayed and worked a little late. Then I went home and did my normal little wife/mother duties. I picked up things that had been left lying around and distributed them to their proper location or rightful owner within the house. That is the one thing I am having the hardest time with when it comes to my daughter, getting her to return things to where she found them. Not on the general area, but putting things back exactly where she got it. You know every thing has a place and there is a place for every thing. lol I also fed the pets. They are not going to let me forget to feed them. I love how they can tell time. Like even on the weekends, they know when 5:30 rolls around. It is funny when there is daylight savings though, they get really thrown off schedule then. lol

After they ate, then I started making the family dinner. We had spaghetti and garlic bread. The best part was the salad!!! I love salad! I could eat only a salad every day for at least one meal. In fact, I think that is what I will make me for dinner tonight.

Daughter is going with a friend to a football game, our high school made it to the district playoffs. Hubs is going to the deer woods tonight (thank God!) and wont be home until Monday! I think we need this time away from each other. I hope he gets a deer. I like cooking and eating deer meat. There is no fat. I love having a freezer stocked. My daughter's favorite meal is deer meat fajitas. lol I am making myself hungry!

At this time it looks like I might not be going out tomorrow night. I can’t find someone for my daughter to spend the night with. I hate calling someone out of the blue and asking to pawn my child off on them. The couple that usually asks us to watch their daughter when they go out is out of town this weekend, so there went that idea. Maybe that is just a sign I need to stay home with my kid and fulfill my obligation to get up Sunday and go to church and keep the nursery like I agreed to do when I signed up for it.

Ok, time to go and change so I can go to the gym! :-)

Bitchy Girls & Great Guys

This is something I have noticed that all my life, but why does it seem like the "bitchier" the girl, the more devoted her boyfriend or husband is? Seriously! Seems like all the 'good' guys are all following around these women that treat and talk to them like they are crap. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Hello?

Where is everyone?
Hardly any new posts.
Hardly any new comments.
I can tell this is going to be a long weekend, if I make it through Friday first.

Hey, I have a question. Last night I was getting in to bed and I looked at what I had on and I wanted to know, what do you girls wear to bed? Guys, what do your wives/girlfriends wear to bed? What do you wish they wore to bed?

Separation

Now this is a separation.

Ouch!

Hide and seek.

Need to pee?

Guys? Would you use this?

Hello Bill

I thought this was funny!

Being Good

You really dont realize what wonderful parents you have until you become one yourself. You mother never seemed so smart until the day you turn to her for parenting advice. I must say that my mom did a good job of raising me. Or at least I think she did. Granted my parents were married through all of my high school years, but it was my mom that did a majority of my raising.

As I face the teenage years with a daughter of my own I try to look back and remember how my mom was with me. What did she do that made me want to be so good? I hope I can do as good a job as my mom did.

I still email with my "first love". He is married and has two kids. We have been in touch for many, many years. This is part of an email he sent me the other day: "You better behave going out with the girls with no hubby at home. How long have I known you now? 26 years or so? I know that you are too much of a goodie-goodie to get in trouble. :) "

And its not 26 years, it is only 23. I met him the summer before I turned 14. He was a lifeguard at the local pool. I went to the pool every day. I had a purple bikini. He worn orange swimming trunks that velcroed in the front. Oh yeah, velcro, gotta love the 80's! lol We dated until I was in the 11th grade and he was a freshman in college.

Suggestion Box

"It's time to get a babysitter and enjoy a nice evening with your friends. Tell us what you're gonna wear please and thank you."

Tobi I loved this, the "please and thank you" is so cute! I just love a man with manners! But, my question is to you, the other men and the women who are reading this and who go out far more than me, what SHOULD I wear?

I have always been under the impression that is it best to display 'everything' you have, but to always just give a hint. True or not? Jeans? Skirt? Boots? Heels?

Bitch, bitch, bitch

One of my pet peeves is when your spouse takes your car somewhere, uses about 98% of the tank and then decides to bring it home and leave is for you to drive. Excuse me? Do you know where the gas station is?

And whats the deal with gas going up again? Dont tell me it has to do with the freakin elections too! A few days ago is was down to $1.99, now this morning it is $2.06.

My lower back hurts. I must have done something wrong when I was working out last night. Crap.

And I have a headache. No, its not a hangover. I didnt drink anything. I just went to bed.

Ya know, used to my husband would lock all the doors and make sure we were all 'secure' for the night. Now he just crawls in bed leaving me to turn off all the lights and lock the doors. He used to stay up til midnight - 1am watching tv, now he is in bed by 8/8:30. Its like he and I have switched roles.

Oh and my mouth hurts where I tried to run my toothbrush thru my gums yesterday morning. lol damn...I am being whiney this morning.

It IS a beautiful day though. But it is not cool enough. It is supposed to be almost 80 degrees here today! We have the windows open at the house. The leaves were falling so hard and fast in the wind this morning, it sounded like it was raining.

Sleep?

Ya know, about a year ago I wouldnt have had a problem at all with going to bed at 8:30/9PM and sleeping all night. Now I am lucky if I can go to bed at 10 or 11PM and stay asleep all night.

Working out doesnt seem to have helped. Ok, ok, so what this is only my third day back in the gym, but still I already feel better. Tonight I walked in and the girl at the front said, "Wow, this is three days in a row!" I used to go every day about a year ago and in to the spring. I loved it. Then we (the family) all started riding bicycles.

The town we live in has a beautiful bike trail along a river. We all liked biking because we could do it as family. We would often ride 16 - 18 miles a night after work. I loved it.

Not only was it good exercise, but riding along the river and through the wilderness, I got to see the wildlife. I am such an an animal lover. We saw a lot of animals.

Plus the trail leads right in to downtown. So we would often park our bikes and sit along the river, watching the people. One night there was a concert going on. We stopped a watched from the bridge that went over the river as the concert went on below us on the banks of the river.

When hubby got a new job, his hours became longer and therefore, our bike riding got cut. I miss it. A lot. So that is how I got off track of going to the gym and now I must get in the habit of going again and not giving myself an option not to go.

Plus I want to stay in shape and look my best, you never know when you might meet someone for the first time and you only get once to make a first impression.

Just not a good day today. Went from great to shitty in 0.2 seconds. Hasnt come back up since, so its time to hunt down some liquor to kill the tears and put me to sleep! Good night everyone.

Lost?

Hey. I am kinda lost here. Do you know what kind of blogs I used to read before I actually started my own?

Cat blogs and Infertility blogs.

Of course I read the cat ones because I have cats and I love cats. I got caught up in the infertility ones somehow. Dont know how.

But my point here is, we all seem to congregate around the blogs that we share a common interest with. So I ask myself, what am I doing here? I dont have interesting stories to tell. Past or present. I wish I did.

Sometimes I just feel I dont belong in this "group" of blogs I read.

And then in my November 1st post "Working Late", Joe responded with this comment: "So you dont ever feel like just saying wtf and being really really bad?Bad in a wicked wicked way?"

Of course I do! And I am. Or at least I thought I was. Is there something I have to do to prove myself? I am still trying to figure out why he made that comment. Just because I dont blog about it, doesnt mean I dont feel it.

Still curious as to why you asked that Joe. Can you elaborate please.

Don't

Dont ya hate it when you are brushing your teeth and you jab your toothbrush into your gums? My dentist tells me I brush my teeth too hard anyway. I really like my dentist. He is so damn cute and so is his brother. Either way its a win-win situation when I go to the dentist. Now, if one of them was just an Obgyn, Id be happy! :-)

Dont ya hate it when your hair looks great? I only say this because that means tomorrow it will look like shit. I am prepared for it. I might as well go ahead and make the appointment to get it trimmed now.

Dont ya hate it when you are driving and your foot starts itching? Mind did that this morning. I had on boots that zipped, plus I drive a 5 speed, thus needing both of my feet. Finally, I managed to get the boot off. I scratched my foot and kept driving, with one shoe on and one shoe off!

This past weekend was my daughter's bd. It is so weird how fast time flies. I can still remember almost every detail surrounding her birth. I worked until the day she born. I remember where I went the night before she was born. I can remember what I made for dinner. I remember what the weather was like. I can remember the drive on the way to the hospital.

Hey Woodrow you'll appreciate this... I had my daughter around 3:30pm. Right after the delivery, my doc told me he was sorry that he had to hurry up and leave. His vacation had started at noon and he had agroup of guys waiting at his house to leave to go on a pheasant hunting trip! He stayed just so he could deliver my baby.

Shock!

Say it aint so! Britney files for divorce! Now if there was ever a couple that I thought would be married forever, it would be them! haha Whatever! What was she thinking?

Here is a list I found of 10 Things Guys Find Romantic. So guys, read it, tell us if you agree or disagree or make a list of your own. Wow. I am really curious to hear this. Personally I love #4.

EDITED: 11/8 12:25PM

Truth Hurts

Location: Company breakroom

Me: I'll be glad when all these damn cookies are gone.
He: They will be if you keep eating them.
