I threw it on the ground..

Yay for wifi! Blogging from judah's iPad. It takes like triple the time to type on here! Oh wells..can I just say I'm beat. Past ready to go to sleep. Didn't get any sleep Friday night (but I had such a good time at the Radio Bar!) got here late last night..Was woken up at 7 am today by the nephew. The boy wakes up early and has an unending supply of energy.I swear. We are having a great time so far..got sun burnt on the beach..walked on the pier..laid by the pool..went with the girls for margaritas while the dudes cooked and Grammy watched the baby..we had a really full day and I'm so ready for bed! But I'm sooooooooo super excited for Hunger Games!!!! And to see Pernkie :) and I guesssss to see Charlie and Steph! Off to sleepy land I go for now. Nighty night!

Da beach..

So..I missed another day.oops! We made it to Navarre Beach! I'm gonna go spend time with the fam now :)

You know, it's not that bad..

Ah! Can't believe I forgot to blog yesterday :-/
Probably because I never took my computer out of my work bag last night! My husband and I went out to eat and kinda just fell asleep when we got home. Actually..I was trying to catch up on the TV show, Once Upon A Time. My co workers watch it and I watched it when it first came on..I like it okay. I think some of the acting is a little cheesy at times. But I guess that's okay, because the show is about fairy tales and myths and legends sooo.
There really aren't many TV shows that I like these days..we mostly just put the Food channel on and watch Chopped over and over and over and over..and over. I think I have seen every episode.
I am sooooo incredibly happy that it's Friday today..I feel so drained this week. I don't really know why, because we haven't been that busy at work. Tomorrow we are leaving to go to Navarre Beach with Judah's family. Maybe I have just been needing a vacation. It feels really early to be going to the beach, but hey, I'm not gonna complain about a vacay OR going to the beach! It will be really nice to spend time with Judah's brother and his wife and also Judah's sister. His aunt and uncle recently moved to Navarre so it will be nice to spend time with them, too. I do love my Vedros' family so much. Over the past few months I have felt really lonely..and I've just been praying for a good friend. Believe me, I have GREAT friends. Buttt you know how you just have those few that you really just connect with? I have a few of them here (and a few of them up north!!), it's just making the time to actually spend with them. The reality is, I am extremely blessed to have so many close friends/family and cousins that really love me. Sometimes I just need to tell myself to shut up when I start to feel sorry for myself. I want you gals that are reading this (and you know who you are) to know that I love you so much and I value our friendship/relationships. Anywho, I think what I was getting to is that I'm excited to spend time with Judah's fam at the beach!

Das all for today, y'all.

Saddle up your horses..

Ummm. Why did I just read on someone's facebook status that Steven Curtis Chapman was in Louisiana and I'm not there?? I am so mad! I saw him when I was like..um 12 or 13 years old. And then I went to get his autograph and I think he was in a bad mood because he wouldn't really talk to anyone. I have to give him a chance to redeem himself!!
Anywho, it's the first day of the Ides of March challenge! That means I gotta blog every day. I can do it. I just hope I don't bore you guys to tears.
So guess I'll just blog about my day....welllll...I was happy that I could work very close to home today (so I could sleep in an extra hour!) We had a steady flow of patients so it was pretty good day. I stayed after work to exercise..ran 2 miles..did some other stuff..came home and cooked some porkchops. and sauteed zuchinni and squash and cooked rice. annnd some kale chips..annnd something bad. I had an extra zuchinni so I got crazy and pan fried that sucker. (Does it make it-any-healthier that I used egg whites and spelt flour??ha!). It was really good! Thank God I only did one zuchinni because I couldn't stop eating it.
Ah! Something awesome happened today. I bought my ticket to see Thrice in New Orleans for their farewell tour in May!!!!!! The day after my birthday!!!!!! I don't think you people know how much this means to me. I know I have said like so many things about them..but honestly. If you wanna hear someone sing da truth..listen to dem! Seriously, they have helped me through so many situations in my life, they will really never know how much they mean to lil old me. I even got a tattoo from some of their album art :) (put a bird on it!!) <--for my fellow Portlandia watchers..if you haven't seen that episode..just youtube that phrase and watch the minute and a half sketch. It's so true! ha.
Alas, the dirty dishes are screaming my name.

(note: I was just informed by Ashleigh that The Ides of March doesn't start until March 15..sooo..oops!!)

There's no end in sight.

"And come what may, I won't abandon, or leave you behind because Love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment."

Thank God. (literally).

Walkin' side roads, cause that's the only way I know.

I had a most productive day. I went to work for 8. I came home at lunch to let dogs out, and folded laundry and washed dishes as well. I went back to work until 5. I logged 3 miles on the treadmill. I am on week 3, day 3 of couch to 5k! I usually run just a tad longer..well because I usually hate running for like the first minute or 2. Then I get into this rhythm and its just hard to stop and start and stop and start. My breathing gets all out of control..I also did lots of incline. Annnnyway. I came home and vacuumed up pine needles that were leftover from our sad dead Christmas tree and moved around the living room a bit. Then I dusted everrrry room and vacuumed the rest of the trailer and then cleaned counters. Then I made a salad! Now I'm beat! I'm also not feeling very well..I started feeling horrible yesterday (body aches, swollen and sore throat..ya know, all of the dumb flu s/s) but when I woke up this morning I felt 75% better! Still have the yucky throat stuff, though :-(

I am not going to say anything about the LSU vs. Alabama game because I have talked about it all day to each and every patient that came in, and I'm tired of it. And because I think the game spoke for itself. My husband and I both just sat there and watched. No yelling or stomping or cussing. Just sitting silently, watching.

On a happier note, my brother and sister in law are coming to visit this weekend. And I can't contain my excitement!!!!! I know I'm going to be so annoying and they are going to be ready to not see me again for a few more months, but I can't help myself and they better suck it up!!

I think that is all that is happening in my boring life right now.
I wish Hunger Games would come out this weekend.
I wish there was a good show that I could go to soon.
I wish I had lots of $ and could go to New Zealand or Italy or somewhere else far away for a vacation.
I need some excitement.

So this is the new year..

2012. Change. Not the biggest fan. (It's really hard for me to just think about taking down the Christmas tree today!) It's funny how even if I don't particularly like the place I'm in, change still scares me.

Who knows what this year will bring?? Visits to the Twin Cities, Raleigh..hopefully NYC at some point, Florida..who could forget Grand Isle??

2011 wasn't the best year for me..but I am thankful for [most of] the happenings of 2011.
I was very thankful to move back to the country! I think that was the best thing that happened.
I was bo(l)th sad and happy for my brother and sister in law moving to another state. I truly am extremely happy for and proud of you, Steph!
We gained a moo moo.
We spent time with my husband's siblings (which doesn't happen very often!). We spent a week with them in Florida, and a long weekend in Tulsa. Which was our first really long road trip together, and my first time to Tulsa.
My husband and I didn't kill each other! We made it through another year. We learned how to be more patient with each other (which is a life long process, of course)
I got to go to New York this summer to watch my cousin eat in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest!


Okay, so maybe a lot of great things did happen this past year. I am very thankful and blessed to have the people that I have in my life..you all make it worth living!
