My mind letting it all out...

We had a bunch of visitors this month, and so happy them came to spend a bit of time with us. We went to Death Valley (I took rock out of the park)...... I played at the park with my niece and gave my mother in law instructions to collect all the information she could about my husbands side of the family.

I need family history and I need it now. Who would have ever thought I would marry into a Phillipeno Family.

So we are in the process STILL of buying a home. The last two bids went up 7 days ago that means we only have 8 more before we should know if the banks accept our offers. I really really want to call up the banks and say in a rather loud voice " I HAVE THE MONEY DO YOU WANT IT OR NOT, TELL ME NOW NOW NOW", but being the adult that I am I did not.

I was driving to work on Tuesday in our new car, I had Rainier take my car in for an oil change, I was flipping through his music selection, who really has Van Haen to Al Hurricanes greatest hits(Spanish music) only Rainier. I finally selected a Van Halen song to sing along with and pump of the volume to get me to work. I was singing like no body's business and a very nice gentleman pulled up next to me at the red light waving frantically at me, I rolled down the window turned down the volume and asked what was wrong. He politely told me I looked ridiculous and thought I should know. Now the instant thought in my head was what can I do to his car to make his life inconvenienced, instead I peeled out (our Nissan Maxima you can do this really cool) of the light (when it turned green) and adjusted the volume and began again. What did I really care what he thought.

Why do boy's insits on wearing their pants down below their bum. I was waiting the other day at a light, I do this a lot in my commute. And here is a boy who has orange underwear, red sweats and tan pants on, the tank pants were down under his bum. I just have to say truly this can not be comfortable, and for crying out loud it is 90 degrees here, why are you wearing sweatpants and long pants at the same time. To all the boys out there really the pants down around the bum is not cute, pull them up.

Why does the hours of 8-5 drag like no other while at work during the week, but on Saturday it is gone before you know it was there. My conclusion is I am much happier on Saturday's than Monday - Friday. I am trying to change this to be happier Monday-Friday so I get to listen to books on tape while working, you know it works. I am on volume 3 of The Work and the Glory.

They are just moving to Hauns Mill, and I know what is coming it brings tears to my eyes.

How come getting to the post office is so difficult? And really why when you go into buy a book of stamps do they not tell you wait one week because the price is going AGAIN?

Did you know if you clean your face with Hydrogen Peroxide to get it to dry up and happen to wipe it on your outer end eyebrows pretty soon you will have a different color on the ends than those by your nose. Yes, personal experience here. I was all upset as to why the ends of my eyebrows were turning red-orange. while those near my nose stayed the same color. I really thought some thing really serious was happening to me. So if you use Hydrogen Peroxide to dry up your skin keep it away from your eyebrows. On the other hand if you happen to grow a mustache on you upper lip if you use the Hydrogen Peroxide will bleach it out. Making those painful trips to get it waxed further between.

Monday Monday

So I had to speak in church yesterday about following the words of the Prophet. My Bishop finally nabbed me in the hall 3 weeks ago. Luckily for me General Conference was just right around the corner. Score for me. I was the first speaker and the third speaker leaned over to me and asked me to take all the time I wanted, he only had a testimony to bear. I think this was one of the most prepared talks I have ever had. I practiced and practiced told my self no tears and not to talk fast. What do I do tear up at a part and have to slow down. I hope someone in the congregation got something out of my talk. I guess for being in the ward 18 months now it is about my turn. I am just glad it is over and done.

I have to shout out to Ireland happy 3rd Birthday this last weekend love you much watch for a package in the mail.

Wahoo...............

I had the best Friday on record. I awoke feeling the cold but had gotten a good nights sleep. I hit EVERY light green on the way to work, there are 14 of them. I was able to turn on my computer and have it work the first time. I had a bit of work to do today and that made the time fly. Our departments was missing both bosses today, so there was a bit of a more relaxed feeling in our area. Yes, we were a bit more chatty, I say a bit because we are not allowed to speak to each other unless it is about work. The only saying when the cat is away the mice shall play. Well we really did not play, because we were so busy but it was just nice to have a few minutes here and there to speak and laugh a bit with each other. You know enjoy each others company.

Tonight I met up with some ladies from the old travel department. I convinced them to try Cafe Rio one of my favorite places. We sat outside and enjoyed our salads, pasta dishes, and enchiladas while comparing notes on our lives. I have to admit when you get us together there is a bunch of laughter. We really had a good group of women and we truly care about each other. The time always goes quickly when you are having fun, and as we looked down it was 8pm time to get home to our respective others.

I got home to a one-less toothed husband. Yes he had a tooth pulled today. About 2 months ago he cracked it apart eating dinner, so now I have a toothless husband, it is in the back where you will never see, but now you all know much to his chagrin.

Thursday!!!!!

Do you ever feel that Thursday gets ripped off. Sometimes I feel like this day of the week gets unnoticed. So big shout out to Thursday, I love you Thursday, now bring me back my Grey's Anatomy and I will be so Happy!

What a week for work. I went to work on Monday sad knowing that my Brother and his family were headed home. We had a fun weekend full of golf, shark reef and parks, and the hospital. Hospital you say, yes my little niece just could not keep her tummy still and became really dehydrated. I felt so bad for the little kid. But I had a wonderful time visiting and just having them in my home. I love family to visit!!!!! Work kept me so busy learning new insight to my job, finally more work to keep me occupied. This new job has not been easy, but finally I am beginning to understand and appreciated my job. Tuesday I spent the day a bit hostile knowing I had to mail my taxes and that included giving more money. I have issues with having pay when I set up my deductions in the beginning as to what the government says I have to pay more and I will be darned if I am going to pay any sooner than the 15 of April. So I left work early to get over to the post office. As I walked up to the door those Postal People locked the door. AUGH....................... This means I have to drive clear across the city to the main post office, I would rather eat lint!!!! After I calmed down, I heard that just 1 mile away a Postal Location is open until 7pm. HOORAY!!!!!! I have never never seen a parking lot empty so quickly. End of the story our taxes are in and I am still bitter.

Catch - Up

First I must say this blogging fore me has gone on the back burner for a while. But I just read my sisters blog and I have a tag. Now if I do this wrong(the whole tagging thing) please forgive me, I am new at it.

I am reading Fields of Home by Rachel Ann Nunes

Page 123 5th sentence: "Worse than a child."

Short sweet and to the point. I would tell you more but I just started the book. I really like Rachel Ann Nunes she is an LDS author and I always get an emotional journey from her books.

It is not unexpected to find me with tissues while reading, I am a sucker for a good romance with bunch of dram built in.

Thanks for the tag!
