Whew.  Busy day at work today.  Made the time fly though.  Just looked up and it’s already almost time to get outta here.  Come on 4 !!!

I’m surprised I’m even functioning at work today.  I’m still in shock over Grey’s last night.  I mean, OMG right ?!?  Wow.  Wha?  Really?  OMG.  Whoa.

&& You’d think I wouldn’t be so surprised because I’ve definitely heard the rumors, etc., but still … STILL … Whoa.  I sat there and boo hoo’d like a big ole baby.

Seriously.  Best show ever.  Hands down.  I heart it even more than LOST .. and that’s saying a LOT.

Today’s my 10th Anniversary.  YAY us.  In some ways, the number “10″ seems unreal because HELLO?  wasn’t our wedding just like 2 years ago ???  Yes?  I thought so too.  And in other ways … OMG Dude, ONLY ten years ???  Are you serious ???  I demand a recount because I know I’ve been bitching about sorting laundry properly and putting the toilet seat DOWN wayyyyyy longer than 10 years. lol

We’ve definitely had our ups and downs.   And I mean that in a BIG way.  We have a bipolar relationship.  Either way UP or OMG crazy down.  But through it all, I’m pretty proud of us.  Most couples would’ve definitely folded by now.  Thrown in the towel.  Said the hell with this bs.  && there are times when we probably should’ve done the same thing.  Okay, not probably, DEFINITELY done the same thing. But I’m SO glad we didn’t.  Ten years later, I can honestly say that I love him more now than I did standing on that stage in front of our friends and family && that feels really good.

Spending of “ten” … can I ask you a question ??  How do you say that number ??  Like … say it outloud right now without thinking about it.

Do you say TEN ??  or TIN ??

I say TEN and get teased about it something awful.  I mean, come on.  I have such a hicky southern accent (that I don’t hear anymore until I’m around people who don’t talk the same) most people are caught off guard when I say TEN because it does sound odd.

But I’m a big fan of “proper” and TIN is just not TEN.  Sorry.  It’s one of my pet peeves.  It’s the same with all three letter words that have the E in the middle.

Example:

JC says, “Can I borrow your PIN?”   I say, “Nope, but you can borrow my PEN.”

JC says, “I’m gonna call BIN.”  I say, “Your Brother-in-Law’s name is BEN.”

JC says, “Can I borrow TIN dollars.”  I say, “I’m gonna stick this TEN dollar bill up your ass if you don’t learn how to speak properly.” lol

Be honest.  How do you say it ???

If I said that the last six 7 or 8 months have been “hard” it would be like referring to a train wreck are a small fender bender.  Hard doesn’t cut it.

It’s days like today that brighten my world and make me smile.

Roses and lilies were delivered to my office the day before my Anniversary.   Since we’re going out of town this weekend to celebrate (it’s our 10 year!  so BIG deal.)  JC was thoughtful enough to have them delivered early so I could enjoy them for an extra day.

Some days … he gets it right!

Ugh.  I can definitely tell I haven’t written anything in a long while.  The words.  They don’t come as easy as before.  I stare at the screen, knowing what I want to say, and get frustrated when the words don’t instantly bounce from my head to the screen.  Blah.  It’ll get easier I hope.

I woke up today … pissed off.  No reason.  No clue.  Nothing is wrong.  I’m just in a bad mood.  One of those days where everything is getting on my nerves and I just want to scream at everyone to Leave. Me. Alone.  I mean, come on … can’t they SEE I’m not in the mood to socialize?  Please.

On top of that I have anxiety.  Our local television station has been holding an on-air Auction for the past two weeks … and the Husband … has been bidding.  I was fine when he bid on a welding helmet thing that he totally doesn’t need.  He didn’t win it though, and that was okay with me too.  I was still fine when he bid on (and won) an oil change, tire alignment, wheel balance package from the local mechanic shop.  Schweet.  BUT … Then came last night.

He bid on (AND WON) a “family” membership to the Gym.  Family membership meaning that it’s for ALL of us.  To workout.  At the Gym.  Together.

This stresses me out even though I know it shouldn’t.  It SHOULD be a good thing.

Ugh.  Thing is, he’s been working out at another gym for the past 2 years.  In fact, almost every day for the past 2 years.

I, have NEVER worked out at a Gym.  Ever.  I wasn’t even required to take PE in High School because I had a back problem and my Doctor wouldn’t let me.  So basically.  I’m an exercise virgin.

Sure I go for walks around my neighborhood and at the park.  And yes, I’ve done workout videos in the comfort of my own living room.  And okay, I did join Curves for about a year after my son was born … but I just don’t feel like it’s the same.  At all.

The Gym in question is THE Gym to join in this town.  Everyone goes.  All of the uppity “I’m better than you” people all go there to socialize and hang out and take stupid classes together.

I am just not … that social I guess.  I have enough friends.  I don’t want to talk to new people and make new friends.  I’m stuck up like that.

Plus the fact that they have trainers who are all boys.  I don’t want some 21 year old boy watching me sweat while my flab bounces around and I pass out after 4 whole minutes of cardio.  Seriously.  The Gym + Me = The Most Embarrassing Situation Imaginable.

BUT.  I’m going to go.  I can’t believe I’m agreeing to it … but it’s too good of a deal to pass up.  He got this family membership for an entire year for $120.  YEAH.  He alone pays thirty-something a month at the other Gym for just him.  So basically he’s paying for 4 months of the year and we all get to go for free otherwise.  Yay.

So yeah.  The plan is to head there next Monday after work and get signed up, weighed and measured.  I’m thinking it’ll either be the worst experience of my life … or I’ll love it so much I’ll end up being a Gym rat and have my own show on Lifetime just like Denise Austin.  Heh?

Yeah.  Believe it or not I’m hoping for the later.

Now that life is settling back down to normal (big picture update post coming as soon as I have 5 hours to sit down and write it) … I’m enjoying my weekends more and more.

Friday night the whole family stayed home, which is very rare these days.  Now that my babies are fa-reaking teenagers, they think they have to constantly be going somewhere or doing something.  I’m now begging for their time, and I don’t like it.  So home … was a good thing.  We did boring domesticated stuff and still managed to have a lot of fun. lol.   We cleaned out the fridge & freezer.   Down to taking out all the shelves and drawers and giving them a bleach bath in the tub !!  I heart cleaning with bleach.  I really do.  One of my favorite smells.  && I promise I’m not crazy … I just HATE germs.  So the smell of bleach makes me believe that there are NO GERMS on whatever I just cleaned.

Anyways.  After I started the cleaning project, I turned it over to JC and me and the kids started working on Mother’s Day presents for all the women in my life.  We made these cupcake pops which are so freaking yummy it’s not even funny.  Seriously.  Only thing is, these are a LOT of work.  Worth it .. but still.   So only about half of ours ended up being cupcakes … with the rest just being balls with white chocolate and sprinkles etc.  Still tho … YUM !!!  Check out that website.  Girl is crazy talented with her baking skills.  I’m mad jealous.

Saturday my son had a Band competition.  He plays drums and while he HATES being in the School Band, especially because next year he’ll have to wear a dorky uniform and march in parades etc., he feels that he WILL be the next Travis Barker so he’s trying to get all the experience possible.   Goofy boy.  I must say, I was VERY proud of him though.  He got a “one” rating … which is “Superior” and the best score possible.  GO TJ !!  Good job buddy.

Saturday night both of the kids had “plans.”  Yanno.  PLANS.  So we had an evening among adults.  Yippeeee.  We ate Mexican.  Drank Margaritas.  Then went to a bonfire that a friend was having for his Birthday.   Music + Friends + Fire + Food + Bud Lights + Hubby = SUPER FUN NIGHT !!!!

Mother’s Day was nice.  Picked the kiddos up and made our rounds to see family and visit with everyone.  Just a quiet relaxing day.  Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Registration fixed.  Check.

About page written.  Check.

Getting outta here early on a Friday afternoon (even tho it is raining cats and dogs).  Check.

Well Hellllloooooo there.  Long time no blog huh ?!?  Feels like 100 years.  I needed a break.

Ummmm, so yeah.  I’m back.  With basically nothing to say, but hoping that will change.

I pretty much deleted everything && have waited long enough that I think I feel okay to start over, even if I am using my old URL.  I considered getting a new one, but felt that Peace, Love & Pink is just WHO I am yanno.  But there are a few changes I’ll be making.

I hate to ask ya’ll, but I do need you to register again if you want to read the private stuff.  I’m not about spilling my guts to the entire Internet world anymore.  NOT gonna happen.  So when I feel the need to vent, or share personal stuff, or post pictures of myself or my family, it’ll be private.  I don’t know if there will be a universal password or if I’ll go back to using a plugin that blocks imformation if you’re not logged in.  I know it’s a pain in the ass.  I really do.  && I completely understand if you don’t feel like going through the hassle again.

The only other thing is just a reminder.   The people I know in REAL life still do not know that I have a blog  (cause basically, I haven’t had one in a while huh), and I would like to keep it that way.  With this whole Twitter surge it seems that I have a LOT of new followers that are family and friends or just people I’m gonna run into in the grocery store … not to mention that my entire world is on Facebook and MySpace.  Sooooo alls I’m asking is that you don’t login to Facebook and write a post on my wall saying something like … OMG YOUR BLOG IS BACK, I’M SO EXCITED. POST POST POST … because that MIGHT blow my cover.  Just sayin ;)  lol

The place is bare for the time being.  I need to redo my ‘About’ page && get some links up and a Contact page, etc.  I’ll get around to it.  I promise.  Ohh && I let my Flickr account expire, since I wasn’t using it, and haven’t decided whether to open up a new one or just renew the one I have.  I went through today and I’m pretty sure I have everyone I know marked as Friends & Family … but if for some reason I overlooked you, please let me know.  That’ll be the only way you can see pictures with faces from now on (unless, of course, you’re my friend on MyS && FB .. then you get to see a LOT of me ..lol)  !!

Anyway.  I guess that’s it for now. Later my Internet Gators.
