I know some of my f-list is on the west coast experiencing some freak heat wave but over here on the eastern side of the country it is starting to feel like fall! WOOHOO! The past couple nights and into the morning it has been chilly. I actually considered turning the heat on. I didn't though. I just put on some sweats and cozy socks. I haven't ( Read more... )

Oy. I haven't been on here in a while. I was still logging in almost daily to read but I haven't even done that in a couple weeks. I did just catch up though!

Let's see...after the fridge went out. That's where I'll start. Well, we got a new one and it's still working fabulously. Really did not notice any difference at all in the electric bill ( Read more... )

The Grease Rack was so good! Way out of the way (an hour to get there) and definitely not a resturant you would just stumble on. It's definitely a throw back to the days when alcohol was not allowed to be served. It's a gray cinder block building with no windows. The first door you go in is solid metal and that takes you into a "foyer" and then ( Read more... )

*sigh* After having Wednesday and Thursday off for almost a year, my boss went and changed my schedule this week. Now my days off are Monday and Tuesday. Of course, this week I had plans for Thursday night-dinner for my anniversary (5 years OMG). Got it worked out though. I'm not 100% thrilled with my new schedule. Last week I worked Fri8-4, Sat-2- ( Read more... )

Last night I went to pick Riley up from MIL after I got off work and she didn't want to come home. So she spent the night. And what did I do with my morning/early afternoon to myself (Nathan was at work, I had to go in at 2)? Slept. Until 1. So freaking lame. I could have done so much! And I slept. And now it is 1:40 in the morning and I am not ( Read more... )

Also, I find it highly ausing that the advertising on LJ keeps encouraging me to take a vacation to Gatlinburg.

Yesterday Riley attempted to burn my house down. Not really. But kind of. I was in the shower and smelled something burning so I came running out to find smoke pouring out of the microwave. I stopped it, threw all the windows open, grabbed the bowl (with unidentifiable black charred stuff in it) out of there and threw it in the sink and started ( Read more... )

Dear LJ ( Read more... )

A couple nights ago me and Riley were just chillin out, I was reading a book and she was playing, and the next thing I know she is crying. Like, real tears and everything. She does that fake cry a lot but this was real. I asked her what was wrong and she held out an orange. ??? She said the orange hit her and it made her cry. So I took it from her ( Read more... )

I have a friend that has made a lifestyle change* to lose weight and be healthier. She has made lots of dietary changes and has lost 28lbs since the beginning of the year. I know she would love to exercise but she is one of those types of people that always puts herself last. So, I decided that I could really stand to make some changes myself. ( Read more... )
