Yay for Fridays! Friday is definitely my favorite day of the week, even though I work on Fridays. It's just such a great day, knowing that you'll have two whole days off and so many possibilities and plans for what to do with the weekend! Saturdays are great, but I'm always thinking, great, tomorrow is Sunday and Sundays are the worst because you're dreading Monday! haha, maybe it's just me, but I seriously love Fridays!
Today is a very special day, Lee's birthday!!! He made me laugh the other day because I was getting all excited and asking him if he was excited and he said he wasn't. What? I didn't get it, and then he said he was not excited because he's getting old!! LOL, and I seriously did laugh out loud. He's 28 today for crying out loud!! That is certainly not old! I told him that when he turns 60, then he can say he's getting old. And in my opinion, you should be happy to grow old, because that means you're living a long time! Anyway, sorry for the tangent. We aren't doing a whole lot this year, for any holidays really. Mostly because we just had the wedding and we're both tired of feeling like we have to plan so much and basically hemorrhage money! So we're just going out to dinner tonight with my parents and hanging out. Then tomorrow he's going to Norman for the OU game, his first of this season. And he's staying there to celebrate with his friends. Part of me was secretly happy that he didn't even invite me, and part of me was like, uh, you don't want me to go?! Haha. But, I think it's because he's only going because someone has an extra ticket, and when he made the plans, he didn't even think about it being his birthday weekend! I know, right?! Boys are SO weird.
For his birthday, he didn't want anything! What?! Uh, it's your birthday. I think I already said that my parents and I are getting him a spray-in bed liner for his truck. He has really been wanting one ever since he bought the truck, so he will be really excited, and he has no idea. He seriously thinks we're not getting him anything! A bed liner sounds really boring and blah to me, but that's what he really wants, and I guess that maybe he thought the same thing about me wanting a purse for my birthday! Oh, and the girls are getting him that poster that I talked about before. (yes, the dogs give gifts) I finally went to a local framing store and said I wanted to spend less than $100 so she worked with me and it ended up being a little over, but at that point, I just wanted to get the thing framed! Bust sadly it won't be ready until next Friday :( I'm just going to keep it a surprise until then. And, how perfect is this. We are making his man room/office and he has had this huge hideous framed picture of a golf bag since before we met. I have had it hiding in a closet since we moved into our house and he pulled it out a month ago and said that he wanted to hang it in there. I said nothing except for "okay". It's his room and he can have what he wants. (this is a large step for me!) So the other day he started talking about how he didn't know if he wanted it in there anymore because it doesn't really mean anything to him and blah blah. And he started talking about how he maybe wanted to find something else to hang in there! Perfect! I almost squealed about the OU pic but I said nothing! I am really bad about keeping secrets.
AND today is his day off from work and it's totally gross and rainy and cold outside and he offered to take me to work this morning!! Isn't he the sweetest? I totally don't deserve him! I would never have offered to get out in the cold and rain at 7am to drive him to work! And now he's here so that we can go to lunch!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Catching Up
Do you ever feel like you're in a rush to catch up with all of your bloggie buddies? That's how I feel today, and I only missed one day!! Most days, when I'm sitting at work, bored out of my mind, checking any and every blog I can, I am screaming inside my head "someone update!!" Lol, I promise I'm not a crazy stalker.
Yesterday I was out of commission. I feel like I should be today too, but really the world does not stop because my mouth is hurting. I know, weird huh? :)
I went to the dentist on Tuesday to get my (temporary for now) crown. I was SUPER nervous for some reason! All my life I've dealt with getting fillings. And I've been okay. I was blessed with teeth that get cavities very easily (there's a name I've been told but I don't remember...dense? something like that) plus I'm pretty much a sugar-aholic, so that doesn't help. The point is that I'm no stranger to the little drill or novocaine needle.
So why, oh why, was I sitting in the dentist's chair on Tuesday, 27 years old, with the hard part already over with (the needle) and I started crying?! Seriously, a couple of tears fell before I could snap myself out of it. Luckily no one was around to see. They did all the drilling and although my hands were clenched together as tight as possible and I was sweating like nobody's business expecting the worst, I did not feel ANY pain at all, I was completely numb (yes, as one should be and I always am, but I still can't get over the fear). I was told it would take 30 minutes. No, that was a LIE, I was there for over an hour. Anyway, the point of all this is that they had me biting down a lot and doing all of this grinding my teeth crap which is fine. But, they had me bite down one time for, literally, 13 minutes. I stared at the clock because whatever it was tasted disgusting, and he said it would only be 10 minutes, and it was 13!!! During those 13 minutes, I'm 99.9% positive that my numb tongue was stuck in my bite because it looks like I bit a chunk out of my tongue. I've never bitten on my tongue when it was numb, and I can't believe how excruciating the pain is! It's terrible. Never do it. I was hysterically crying yesterday after I brushed my teeth. I was a mess. All I wanted to do was take some of Lee's pain pills from when he hurt his finger and sleep, because that's the only time it doesn't hurt. And I talk, well, like Corky from Life Goes On. I'm trying to be a little PC here, but you get the idea. Lee called me Corky yesterday and I cried. Even though I know it's totally true and I totally would have made even more fun of him had the situation been reversed. The good news is that I can't eat. The bad news is that I can't NOT eat, so I do it anyway and then it hurts like a bitch.
The OTHER good news is that I have no pain in the tooth they they were fixing!! Yay!! It's amazing to drink ice water without screaming out in pain! Yay again! The last bit of good news is that I really really like the dentist. So really, way more good news than bad, but still. (oh and you know, I got to stay home from work :) )I kind of want to take a picture of my tongue and post it, but that's gross to me so I won't.
I hope no one at work talks to me because I'm embarrassed to say anything. The S's are the worst. Ugh!!
Today is Thursday, I really like Thursdays and I have stuff to do at work today! LOL, what a great day :)

I like to see the glass as half full!
Do you know anyone with the Swine Flu? I know several, and while I don't come into close contact with any of them on a daily basis, the other night I was wondering if I would get it this year. I haven't had the regular flu since 8th grade. I had to miss the Valentine's day dance! Heartbreaking. But, my parents did move a tv into my room so score for that!
So while I was talking with Lee about it, I actually began to think it would be a good thing if I got the swine flu! Here are my arguments:
1. I would miss work. Lots and lots of work. That, my friends, is never a bad thing!
2. I would get to lay in bed and cuddle with my puppies all day long, which is wonderful this time of year!
3. I would get to watch tons of tv, and maybe watch seasons of shows I've never seen but always wanted to (like One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl)
4. I'd probably lose weight. SCORE!
5. I wouldn't have the energy to go shopping for anything, so we would save money!
6. I would have an excuse to make people wait on me and for my dad to make me triple chocolate chip cupcakes and come clean my house! Wait! Would the triple chocolate chip cupcakes ruin my weight loss? hmmm...must think on that one.
7. I'm really good at being sick and pathetic :)
8. This might be the last flu season that I don't have kids, so I should really just get it over with and out of the way for the next 14 years.
I mean, come on, those are all great reasons to wish an illness upon myself, right?! Okay, i'm going to talk to the girl whose twins have the swine flu and breath very deeply and hope she coughs on me!

Weekend Recap!
In list form because well, I like lists!!
Friday
- I left work and sat in terrible traffic. Stupid Tulsa State Fair, I live right by it and it's horrible every year
- Made cookies and headed over to Jenny's for dinner with a couple people
- Had lotsa fun over there visiting and holding babies
- uhhh, drank too much. let's just say that I owe Lee :)
Saturday
- got up around 8ish thinking that i might feel well enough to paint the man room
- although I could have painted, I chose to lay in bed or on the couch all day long and watched movies and E! reality shows
- have you ever seen Maneater on Lifetime, it's like a 4 hour movie, and really good :)
- we had Chili's for dinner and mourned the performance of OU :(
Sunday
- got up around 8ish thinking i had lots of energy and i should paint the man room
- sat on the couch for a long time thinking about how i should be painting
- finally got around to painting and i was so lazy that i tried to do just one thick coat instead of 2 coats, if you paint as much as i do, you know 2 costs is far superior
- whatever, it looks pretty good for 2 hours of lazy painting :)
- i started getting everything organized, and we decided to pull my old desk out of the shed and use it in there since we really do need some desk space somewhere in the house.
- we aren't finished yet, but i'll post pictures when we are, i'm hoping it looks as good as i am envisioning, which really isn't all that spectacular, but still!! haha
- folded lots of laundry
- made stuffed shells for dinner which were really good AND from the weight watchers cookbook!
Today I woke up before the alarm, weird! I cuddled with Zoe for a while, she is the best morning-time cuddle puppy ever. You can bet that I tell her that every morning, because she is! Here's a random funny story about her in the morning. Several, several months back, both Isabelle and Zoe were on medicine that they each had to take in the morning. Whenever we give them meds we put it in a piece of cheese. Well, they LOVE cheese now. They know when you're opening a piece, they know what the word means, and they even know when we spell it because we had to start spelling it out since they got so excited about it! We now have to call it "you know what" haha. Anywho, Lee feeds them every single morning, I never do it anymore. Mostly because Isabelle gets up really early for breakfast and Lee will get up with her and I refuse to. And also because Lee can go back to sleep and I can't. Well, they still get a piece of cheese in the morning! No, they don't take their meds anymore, but Lee still gives it to them because he's a sucker. haha :) Zoe is more like me and doesn't like to get up in the mornings as much as Lee and Isabelle do. She usually curls up with me under the covers :) So, now when Lee gets up to fix the girls' breakfast, Zoe will lay or sit on the edge of the bed waiting for her cheese because she knows that Lee will bring it to her! haha, she used to at least get up and go in the kitchen, but now she doesn't even do that! Uh, yeah, they are spoiled beyond words.
I was up so early this morning that I did the dishes and folded a basket of towels! I really wanted to stay home and do some housework since apparently I was in the mood, but sadly I am at work.
Tomorrow I am getting my crown put on :( I think they put on a temporary one first, then you have to go back for the real one. I am not excited about the appointment, except that I get to leave work early and then I will have an excuse to go home and do nothing.
AND, Lee's birthday is on FRIDAY!!! Yay!!!
October 2, 2009
Happy FRIDAY!!!!!!
It's 1:45pm here and so far today, I've watched the following:
2 episodes of Drop Dead Diva
1 episode of Project Runway
Last night's Flash Forward
I'm now preparing to watch as many episodes of Models of the Runway necessary to get me to the end of my work day. Yes, I have been at work all day. I just discovered the online world of television yesterday and it helps with my boredom at work! Although people walking by HAVE to be suspicious of me staring straight ahead with earphones in for 5 straight hours. Yes, one would think. One would also think that someone at work would have noticed that I cut 5 inches of hair off too. I mean, not that I care or anything :)
I'm sooooo ready for the weekend!! Who isn't really? Tonight I will be drinking heavily which I might regret tomorrow, as I plan to paint and organize the "man room." With the way my body has reacted to drinking lately, I seriously doubt that my current Saturday plans will hold up! Saturday night, we are watching the OU game (well Lee will be watching, I'll probably sneak into the bedroom and watch a Lifetime movie) and we are getting Chili's to go, yes, we have already discussed and planned this. Yesterday, Lee emailed me to say how excited he is for Chili's to go! Haha, we are lame and I don't really care :)
Okay, Models of the Runway is calling my name! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

My iPod
has been resurrected!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have NO idea what happened, but today I thought I'd just try one more time and it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!
AND tonight I'm making 2 desserts AND corn dip!! Could this day get any better? I think not! Well, perhaps if I was not slightly hungover from having 2 martinis last night. I guess I'm old or something......although one of my bosses did tell me today that he though I was 24! hahahaha, that was a really fun laugh!
omg, did i just get excited because someone mistakenly though i was 24? i AM old :(

Crazy dreams
Last night I had 2 very strange dreams.
In the first one, I was very pregnant, like 38 weeks. And I skipped my doctors appointment so that I could go shopping or something. And then I was freaking out because I thought that I would go into labor and I wouldn't realize what it was. I kept asking Jenny and Kat if I would know what labor was when it happened. Then I realized that I needed to reschedule my dr appt so that she could tell me my progress. It was soooo real, as most dreams are. When I woke up I was freaking out and then realized that it was a dream.
And in the second dream, I was hanging out with a friend that I used to work with. For some reason, we went over to her mom's house. In the dream she had more than 10 brothers and sisters (she has one sister in real life) and they were all physically and/or mentally challenged. All of the kids were running around in the front yard, but some were in wheelchairs. Then her mom came out of the house with a rolling pin and shoved it into one of the boys' mouth because it was supposed to "help with his bite". And all of these kids were biologically hers, not adopted, she gave birth to every single one, and there was no dad.
I think maybe I'm going crazy.
