Where has my life gone?

The complete ramblings of a small town girl.

Whew. I made it.

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated ya'll. But I have been busy.

I made it through the fundraiser. See below for pictures. The theme was "The Queen of Hearts". Notice I am missing from all of the pictures. 2 reasons for this. 1) I hate having my picture taken. 2) I was too damn busy to stay still long enough to have my picture taken!













And away I go!

Right after the fundraiser Mark and I went on vacation to Gatlinburg with the dogs for Thanksgiving. It was nice. It was cold. The dogs had a good time, they got to play in the snow. I got to get drunk in the Ski Lodge while watching the Gators kick the Noles ass. It was a very satisfying vacation. Pictures to come soon.

It's all so new

This was a busy home project weekend.

Our new French Doors are mostly installed. It took help form Mark's Dad, some cursing and a few trips to Lowes. They are in ad functioning but now our walls are in need of some dry wall touch up and some trim. Pictures to come soon.*

Our Iron Filter was installed on Saturday. For those who do not have well water, an Iron Filter stops everything in your house from becoming rust colored. I am so happy that the filter is in! No more orange toilet bowls!

Our new Couch was delivered this morning. This is a milestone as it is the first piece of new furniture we have ever purchased. For the past 6 years we have been swapping out our used furniture for newer used furniture. It is so nice to actually have something brand new. I can't wait to get home and try it. Pictures to come soon.*

*I say soon, but let's be honest here - don't hold your breath ya'll. The fund-raiser that is making my life busier than need be is this Saturday. So I am guessing that you will not be seeing pictures until after that.

Today's Date is What??

How in the heck is it 11/10/05 already? I am not ready for it to be almost Mid-November! Crap.

I haven't posted in so long because I have been busy. So busy that I have been starting my work day at 7am-ish and not ending until way later than I care to be still working. Ya'll I normally don't even get out of bed until 7am-ish. This sucks.

It's so soft
I finally finished my first knitting project. My scarf is pink, soft and perfect.(Just don't look to close). I promise I will have pictures soon.

All in a days work
Ok, my work days have been longer than they have been in the past due to the fact that my customers won't stop calling and asking for things.

Work bought me a Blackberry and at first I was excited that it would make my life easier. Basically though - all it does is allow work to follow me everywhere I go 24/7. I may accidentally drop it in the toilet or something. Whooooosh. All my problems slowly drain away! With my luck though it would just back everything up and I would have to call the plumber.

Weekend = Work
Last weekend I spent my days preparing for the upcoming fund-raiser that I chair. This weekend I have to work at my house all weekend. We are ripping out the sliding glass doors and installing the new French Doors that we bought. Then we have to move our old couch out and clean the carpets in the living room because our new couch is coming on Monday. And this weekend our new Iron Filter is being delivered and installed.

Oh yeah, Mark also has his end of term project due and I said I would help with it. And his Bday is Wed. Night and his parents want to celebrate it on Saturday...........

You know what - typing all of the crap out that I have to do between Today and the Fund-Raiser next Saturday is just making me have a small panic attack. So let's talk about something else.

Mathew McConaughey. I think that is a good thought to leave on.
