I'm baaaaack!

Ok, ok. I have been a bad girl. 

I haven't blogged in like a month. 

So I decided I'd better post something before Nicole beats me with a wet noodle ;)

So where to begin? It's been a BUSY summer. Here are some highlights thus far:

I finally got my 5-year-old (ahem, almost six-year-old) baptized. Yup. You can call me a slacker but atleast I went through it, right?? Plus, he looked super cute in the sash they gave him!

Let the CCD classes begin!!

Speaking of little Billy...he broke his wrist and got a green-stick fracture in his radius. How, may you ask? Well, I will tell you. My little tazmanian devil was running over a patch of mulch at the playground of his summer camp and tripped over his own two feet. He landed on his wrist, and the rest is history. We've gone through two casts already, moving on to a third tomorrow.

So I have read all the Sookie Stackhouse Books that I can read. Now that I have read them all, I have to wait until May for a new Sookie Book! WTF!!

 

To top things off, there are only 3 or 4 more episodes of True Blood left for the season. They don't even start filming season 3 until after Christmas. This will not be a fun wait! :) Atleast I will see my precious Edward Cullen in November! I think New Moon will tie me over. 

But speaking of Sookie Stackhouse. I think she is just so cool. So cool in fact that I am dressing up as her for Halloween!! It will be amazing! And I can't wait!

Well there are more things that have obviously have happened to me this summer. I have read alot, spent countless weekends at the beach, discovered YoVille, danced, drank and did Yoga! 

Maybe I should work on my Summer To Do List?? Let's see what I have accomplished, shall we?

1. Finish peeling down the ugly wallpaper in my living room/stairway. Afterwards, it will be painted a nice beige / sand color.

(Hmmmm...well kinda. I need to scrape a little more off in my stairway, but I am afraid of the scary ladder. So I will say I am 60% done.)

2. Pay my credit cards down!! I mean it this time. This is essential because I will not buy my beloved Coach purse until they are all at least 50% paid off. (Sigh) Also, I would like to purchase a new car too (an SUV that’s good in the snow).

This is a much harder task. I got my hours cut down by 10%, until September (crossing fingers) so I hope to accomplish this through the fall, early winter. As Scarlett O'Hara says, "Tomorrow is another day!" I feel like I am up to my eye-balls in bills. Everyone wants my money :) Maybe I will come into a cash windfall? I did play the $170 million lottery tonight...

3. Watch Bill build our deck in the back yard as I enjoy a nice, cool drink. (BIG Check!!)

4. Redo little Billy’s bedroom. It is just kind of blah…It needs color! (And a new bed.) (Not yet! Need to finish #1, First.)

5. Go to the Children’s/Science Museum with little Billy and others. (REALLY big check!!)

6. Clean out all my clothes that I do not wear anymore (not making excuses saying that I REALLY will wear it again, because I know won’t.) Then I will distribute amongst my friends and whatever they don’t want goes to charity. (Yup. Got rid of alot of it. I still have a basket to have my girls go through. I was told I should sell some on eBay. Hmmmm..that may help # 2!)

7. Try to have more of a social life!! This is my LAST summer in my 20’s!!! (Working on it! I have gone to some fun bars and parties thus far. Keep 'em coming!)

Faareeeky Friday

Hello. Okay...I know it is not Friday, I am a busy girl. Sorry I slacked last week! Here are the freaktastic things I have encountered this week:

Morgan Freeman to marry

his step-granddaughter!

Ewww! I think that I just may have thrown up in my mouth a little!

According to the National Enquirer, Morgan Freeman (72) intends to marry his 27-year-old step granddaughter. They have apparently been carrying on a decade-long affair. (Gag...)

The bride, E'Dena Hines, is the grandaughter of Morgan's first wife. Apparently, he and his 2nd wife raised E'Dena since she was a young child. That is sooooooo wrong!!

Harry Potter and the Half Blooded Prince!!!

The wait is finally almost over!

Yippeeeee!!

Clocked in at 2 hours and 41 mins, I think it is going to be good!

Did you know that Rupert Grint, the actor that plays Ron, is recovering from Swine Flu?

Poor guy!

Happy B-Day Nicole!

In honor of my cousin Nicole's B-day, she is having ANOTHER giveaway!

Check it out here! (And tell her I sent you!)

I am a Slacker!

Hey peeps!

It's been a few days since I have "blogged." It's been a busy past few days. Shall I recap?

3rd of July: I had the day off from work! Woot, woot! I baked cupcakes in the a.m. and shopped with Nicole and my wild child son, Billy, in the afternoon. Shopping is a wonderful drug. It makes me happy, just don't tell Bill. I then set off to meet Heather (with Nicole in tow) and we cruised on down to Sandy's house, she lives near White Horse Beach in Plymouth. We drank and laughed and watched fireworks and had a grand old time. My child was at his Nana's and the BF was a work. Thanks Nicole for driving my sorry ass! :)

4th of July: I spent a pleasant day at Stetson's Pond in Pembroke. We were at my friend Tommy's Aunt's house. It was a nice waterfront property where the children could play in the water and ride the boats. They even had a hot tub that me and Miriam snuck away to use. The views were nice and it was a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day! 

5th of July: A VERY lazy day for me. I watched my son play with his Slip 'n Slide, as I worked on my tan, which I succeeded in, well kinda. I read a good portion of my book, "Living Dead in Dallas." The book is part of the series the True Blood is based on. So far, I am on book #2 and I am liking it, although, I like Twilight more. :)

Today: Back to reality. Work, work, work. My son got to go to the beach with my mom while I had to work. Boooo.... After work, I met up with my friend Matt who is visiting from Las Vegas at the Cheesecake Factory. Tiffany came along, as well as, our respectful kids - Billy and Zack. It was nice to see Matty boy again! We go back to my working at McDonald's days. Ha! 

Yoga Class #5

Well, I am on my 5th straight week of Yoga classes. I am finding that I am getting more flexible and lean. Such a great work out! I would recommend Yoga to anyone looking to change up their workout routine. 

I have been having hip problems lately. Luckily, with the help of my Yoga instructor, I am working to fix it through stretching.

Here are some poses I did last night:

The Cow Pose:

 

The Locust Pose:

(I like to call in the Superman Pose)

Well that sums up my torture, umm..I mean Yoga workout, for the week. Next week I have the harder lady. We'll see how I do!

On a side note: my cousin Nicole is having a giveaway for tons of free stuff! She is celebrating her 100th post! Woo-hoo. Visit the link below for more info on how to enter! Tell her I sent ya!
