The best parts of the last week (in no particular order) …
- County Fair Week!
- Parade
- Fried Oreos
- Corn Dogs
- Bloomin Onions! (Yum.)
- Grey’s Anatomy is FINALLY back on!
- Making a quick Friday run to the bank with my best friend to turn our change into dollars!
- Cracking up as 6 million pennies poured out of the machine and on to the floor.
- Putting $271 worth of change into my Hawaii fund account.
- New Desperate Housewives
- New Brothers and Sisters
- Netflix – True Blood Season 1 – Episodes 1-7 (Watched all 3 disks straight through on Saturday and cannot WAIT to get 3 more this week.)
- Finishing the 2nd True Blood book and starting on the 3rd.
- Opening the windows in my house and letting the cool Fall air come in.
- Getting all the laundry completely caught up
- Extra kids running around my house laughing like goofballs.
- My Son doing really well at the ATV races Friday night.
- A night alone with my Husband Friday night after the races.
- Officially turning over to my Husband the job of teaching the teenager to drive. He is so much better at it than I am, and it gives them a good excuse to have some one-on-one Father/Daughter time.
- Sleeping late and staying in bed (TrueBlood-a-thon) most of the day Saturday.
- Going to the fair one last time Saturday (last minute Onion craving) with our friends Blake and his brother Brant.
- J cleaning and organizing his shop, my garage and my breezeway AFTER he had already weed-eated and mowed the entire HUGE yard. He rocks you guys.
- Yoga pants, hoodies and woobie blankets are BACK!
- My cat finally deciding that he doesn’t hate me anymore for bringing home another dog. Much snuggle time was had and we both enjoyed it. I’ve missed the Satan spawned little devil.
- Getting to turn on my heated seat on the way to work this morning.
With the good, there is always a little bit of suck so here we go …
- Fair food makes me gain weight and retain water.
- The above fact is NOT GOOD when trying to pour yourself into jeans for the first time in a year.
- Tears were had when last years “loose” jeans became this years lay on the bed, suck it in, pray that the button doesn’t break jeans.
- On top of that my female system has decided to go crazy. No rhyme, reason, schedule or logic. Any time, any place, any (and every) day without warning. After 2 months of this, I’m ready to turn my ovaries back in.
- HORMONAL CRYING OUTBURSTS for no reason at all.
Plans for the week …
- I want this week to be all about ME
Other weeks are about the kids or the Husband … but this one … ME! - I will keep my tanning appointments today, tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.
- I will not bite my nails for a few days so they can grow out enough to get my nails done again. I’m sick of having boy looking hands.
- Getting a pedicure when I get my nails done.
- I’m going to the store (on my lunch hour possibly) to buy polish remover and several shades of new polish. My toes, are awful. After I get that pedicure, I want to be prepared for upkeep.
- I want to iron a ton of my clothes that I haven’t been wearing because I’m too lazy to iron in the mornings.
- Calling first thing in the morning to make myself a hair appointment. Cut and color – LONG overdue. Hopefully she can work me in Friday afternoon or Saturday sometime.
- It’s possible that I’m finally going to cave and go to the gym this week. Not only is my Husband begging, but I have a friend batting her eyes at me and working the peer pressure angle. She’s wanting to do Zumba class, but seeing that I haven’t exercised or done any kind of ”Class” in 13 years, I think I should start a little slower than that. Do the treadmill for a couple of weeks to build up a little stamina. Don’t want to pass out 4 minutes into class. Might be embarrassing.
- Can’t wait for my next 3 True Blood Disks to come in. Wednesday I hope. Thursday at the latest. Will be watching them, most likely all in one sitting. (TrueBlood-a-thon v2!)
- I want to finish Book 3 (Club Dead) and start on Book 4.

10. I wanna finish reading my book then start on those books if I can
Chels .. I love your comments
Sorry I returned the DVDs. I HAD to. I’m too inpatient to not know they’re on their way. We can either rent them or find someone who has them so you can borrow. Or I can re-Netflix them at a later date BUT I only get 3 at a time and Season 1 and 2 are 10 discs all together …. soooooo …. might be a couple of weeks before we can do that. You can start on the books any time of course.
Kristen wants to Zumba. I’ve never been (duh) … but I am the most uncoordinated girl on the planet earth … so I just don’t know. I dunno how much the classes are. I have a membership (that I’ve never used) with J so classes are included. I can check tho.
Ohhh and PS … we weren’t going to go to the fair on Saturday b/c both of our kids stayed gone until after 6 so I figured they didn’t want to go …. but then they came home and DID want to go (Duh! Mom!) and Blake called and said they were going … and I hadn’t had an onion yet …. so yeah. I had to get outta the bed and turn off the TrueBlood all in the name of fattening food! lol Didn’t ride anything tho. At all. All week. THAT’S a new first!
I LOVE to read your posts. And I LOVE to comment!!
I was obsessed with the Sookie Stackhouse series and book four is by FAR my favorite!
