Award and Questions

Forever ago, I was tagged by the Annoyed Army Wife to answer some questions.

So here we go:

1. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
I always sleep on the side farthest away from the door.

2. Do you have an alarm clock that you can dock your iPod in? If so, which one and do you like it?
No I have a $10 alarm clock that I only use to look at the time. I use my cell phone's alarm for my alarm clock.

3. Should I get an iPhone when my contract expires on my current phone (in less than a week)?
I wouldn't because I'm at a computer all day. I'm not really into all those fancy gadgets either. But if you think it would make your life more enjoyable or add some convenience, then go for it.

4. What's your favorite cookie to bake, if you bake?
I haven't made cookies in forever. But I love no-bake cookies but I guess that probably doesn't count as baking.

5. What's the most annoying noise in the world to you?
Slurping, hands down.

6. Who was the first person to break your heart?
Oh, some asshat.

7. What time do you wake up in the morning usually?
6:20 a.m. and then snooze until around 6:35.

8. What time do you normally go to bed?
I go to bed around 9 p.m. and usually fall asleep around 10 p.m. Lame I know.


Then, I received this award from Erin at Every Branch. Thanks for the award!

Rules

1. Thank and link back to who gave you the award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass it along to blogs you've recently discovered and enjoyed.

4. Leave the recipients a note telling them about the award.

So let's see.... 7 things about myself....

1. This semester is boring the crap out of me. I have a 98% in one class and a 96% in the other.

2. I'm not looking forward to Christmas this year. It's mostly the financial aspect of it that I hate. It's just a lot of money to spend on stuff that people don't really appreciate that much anyway.

3. In the last 12 years, every job I've had I've worked for at least 5 years or I'm still working at.

4. I like to look up the most random stuff online. Yesterday, I was looking at personalized ornaments for the pups.

5. Eyebrows are the first thing I notice on a person.

6. Sometimes I call Matt "shug" like Nancy Gribble says on King of the Hill. The pups are "lil shugs".

7. Last night I made stuffed green peppers for supper. They are Matt's favorite.

I'd like to pass this along to:

Facebook Statuses

The following are facebook status's I've been collecting for your viewing pleasure. I rarely update my status on there because I don't want people to know my business and I don't want to sound like an idiot. The bold entries are the statuses I found. (Well some are bold. I don't have time to mess around with the formatting all day.) The rest is my commentary. If you all like this I might start doing it regularly. Enjoy!

-- does not know how to make pancakes without an oven

That's odd because I don't know how to make pancakes in the oven.

Two whole days without my baby, this sucks

Cry me an f'ing river. 2 days? She's talking about her boyfriend here. This is also the same girl that posted a status once about not being able to breathe without him. That sounds unhealthy to me.

-- some peep just except any1 on here to b there friend. if i dont know ya, im not exsepting a freind request from u!

Some people can't spell worth a crap either.

-- probably should have used deoderant today. In other news, he probably should have remembered to wear underwear as well. In addition, pants wouldn't have been a bad idea

This one made me laugh.

-- Ok ok my new favorite activity is goin 2 walmart dressed as a lion and hiding n a cupboard and jumpin out when people walk by yelln welcome to narnia

That's just odd.

-- is sleeping until 10 am. please don't try to contact me before then =]

To me, this sounds like she's getting woke up before 10 for sure. Ever heard of turning your phone off or turn it to alarm only.

-- got to work only to discover chicken that had been sitting out all night under the pizza prep table wtf

I wish I knew where she worked so I could never go there again.

-- That's my boys!! 89 yd punt return by Hester!!!

Fooseball.... grrr.

-- Damn...a tough loss at home 23-20... We'll get em next time boys!!

Don't care.

-- Well the cowboys failed to win again ... I'm starting to feel like a cubs fan! :-(

That sounds pretty bad but I still don't care about fooseball.

is sick of hearing about Brett Favre... who cares anyway?

Exactly


This is all in the same week......

IT'S HUSBANDS WEEK ~If you have a husband who is your best friend, who works

-- A Son will hold your hand for only a little while, but will hold your

-- This is I LOVE MY SISTER week. If you have a sister who has made you laugh, wiped your tears, hugged you tight, watched you succeed, saw you fail, cheered you on and kept you strong, copy and paste this into your status. Sisters are a promise that we will have a friend forever!

-- BROTHER'SWEEK...if
you have a brother who has made you laugh, punched you, stuckup for
you, drove you crazy, hugged you, watched you succeed, saw youfail,
picked you back up, cheered you on, made you strong. Someone you can't

So it can be husband, brother, sister, son's week all in the same week? I do kind of like the Vayda Monkey one.

Hope you are all having a great week!

Random Pictures

This one is from last weekend when we went camping. The pups were lounging while I was making soup. Please excuse the mess on the bed, the camper is not that big.

Princess's birthday present came via UPS yesterday. I always love coming home to a package on the porch, even if it is for one of the dogs. We got her her own camping chair. She likes it.

I also found this in the mail box yesterday. I almost crapped my pants.

Thankfully, it's just junk mail for some kind of phone activation, not Army activation. I had flashbacks for a second of sleeping with my phone next to me and the instant messenger on. I'd prefer not to have any "activation notices" sent to our address.

Hope you all have a great weekend and a Happy Halloween!

Happy Hump Day!

I once read somewhere to never apologize for a lack of blogging. So, I won't. I've been busy. And my life has been pretty boring, which could be a good thing.

We had a great time camping this weekend. The weather was beautiful except that it was really windy. Friday night we remained pretty calm. Matt had to work for a couple hours Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon him and his buddy went four-wheeler riding. I stayed at the camper made some soup, roadtripped with my parents and the dogs for a while, and took a nap.

However, Saturday night it might have been on. I may have drank way to much. I may have fallen. I may have went to the chiropractor Monday and found out that I sprained my elbow. It may hurt like a bitch. I may have a few mysterious bruises. Or I may not.

Sunday morning we loaded up and went home. And then slept all day. It felt great to be a bum.

Yesterday was Miss Princess's birthday. I ordered her a camping chair online. It's like a bag chair but with out the back or beer can holder. My mom has one for her dog and Princess pretty much took it over while we were camping.

Besides that things have been pretty mellow. I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to take next semester. I think I have it figured out now though. If I take the right elective for my Associates in Accounting, I will also have a Certificate in Office Technology. And then if I take one more class I'll also have a Certificate in Management. I believe I have 13 classes left and then I'll have all this done. But at this point, I'm 28 29 years old and still considered a freshman. Which is a little depressing in itself.

Anywho, next semester I'm going to try to take three classes, be a wife, work, and sling beers on the side. I'm going to take Managerial Accounting, Legal Environments of Business (blah), and Advanced Formatting. Should be interesting. The good thing is one is online and the other two are at the extension building of the college which is very close to where I work. So no driving 30 minutes to class.

Oh and something else, someone keeps emailing me telling me that they think I'm a talented writer and they want me to write for some blog something or other. I don't buy it. I purposely make grammatical errors and use, commas in the wrong place because it's my blog and I can. And I'm a shitty proofreader. So don't lie to me. :)

Happy Hump Day! Hope you all are having a great week!

Just because....

I've been down in the dumps the last two days.

He's sweet sometimes. When no one else understands, he does. And when he doesn't, he does things to make me happy. I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Have a good weekend!
