Another Year Older

So tomorrow is my birthday.. can't wait! Although I can't believe I'm going to be 24.. time flies. I swear it feels like last year I just turned 21!

Tonight I'm going to watch Morgan's soccer game. They're playing St Henry (which if you don't know.. that's where I went to high school) so that should be fun. I think I'm going to be an ass and wear one of my old shdhs shirts in the middle of the ryle section hahaha. Maybe.. we'll see.

4 of our shows are on tonight (Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Terminator:Sarah Connor Chronicles and HEROES!) Heroes finally comes back tonight.. I think Derek can barely contain excitement. So we'll probably be up late tonight watching those.

I'm taking the day off work tomorrow.. its going to be nice. I'm going to sleep in! I have a massage appointment at 1:45 and then we're going to Olive Garden afterwards. It should be a nice relaxing bday :)

Manic Monday

Hello fellow bloggers. Hope your Monday is not sucking as bad as the NKY/Ohio/Indiana residents. Hurrican Ike gave us a flavor of his demise yesterday. Winds were 40-50 mph with gusts up to 81 mph. A lot of my neighbors lost siding or some shingles. We were extremely lucky. Our electric went out around 2:30 pm and was out until about 1:00 am. It sucked really bad. We went out for food around 7 and waited in Skyline's drive thru for about an hour. Anywhere that had power was absolutely packed. We had nothing to do all night so we just sat out on our deck drank some beer and smoked a shit ton of cigarettes lol. By about 10:30, we decided to call it a night. I woke up this morning and we had power (Thank you God) but many still don't. The grocery stores are crowded like its the apocalypse. Its crazy.

Besides that, my weekend was pretty chill. In a wonderful way. Friday, we went to Fuji with Jess and Danny and it was very yummy. Saturday, we went and played laser tag and putt-putt with Amanda and Zach, which was fun. Double dates almost always tend to turn out well.

That's been about it. I should've done some studying this weekend but my lazy ass decided not to. but that's life. Hope everyone has a good week! I'll post soon.

Hump Day

Happy Hump Day!

well it has been an exciting uneventful week in the life of me lol. Lets see..

Well Friday since it was raining we just went to Blockbuster and rented movies. I think that's the most money that place has ever seen in 1 purchase! haha jk. But we rented 5 movies and bought 6! (they had the whole 3 for 20 deal going on) and we got Donatos for dinner. I wish they would build one out by us! I couldn't really sleep that night.. the last time I looked at my phone it was 4:30 am.

so my grandpa calls me at 10:45 am Saturday morning wanting to reseed our lawn. I wanted to sleep but didn't want to pass up the offer so I dragged myself out of bed. He tilled the backyard and we went around picking up the loose rocks and helped reseed and lay straw down. My grandma came over to see the new furniture and brought us a housewarming present. She also told me that she was going to give me all of her old movies and books (including Gone with the Wind!) so I was touched that she thought of me. But I do have this weird love for old movies so it seemed fitting.

Saturday night we went and watched Morgan play soccer vs Simon Kenton. Ryle lost and my sister got hit in the nose really hard. It was bleeding.. Gross. But she played awesome so I guess thats what matters!

Sunday, my cousin Ashton came over for a couple of hours. I was doing laundry and noticed the washer wasn't really cleaning the clothes or the clothes would still be extremely wet or have soap foam on them. Not really thinking about it, I threw a load of towels in and took Ashton home. When I got back Derek had this sullen look on his face so I knew something had happened. Well our washer broke. It had leaked all over the laundry room. So we had to scoop out the water into a bucket and ring out all of the towels. It sucked! I went over to my grandparents to finish the rest of the laundry and we called it a night.

Thankfully, one of our clients owns an appliance store so I called the owner Monday morning and he got me a great deal on a Frigidaire front-loading set. They delivered the new washer and dryer yesterday. I love them!

But I had to pretty much cut our savings in half to cover for that, my car insurance and my estimated tax payments. It sucks. But they just passed a new tax law giving a credit for first time homebuyers so hopefully I'll break even or even get a refund! (that's the only downside of owning a business.. paying taxes :(

but that's been about it. I'm going to start my self-study for the exam tomorrow after work. Hopefully I can stay focused and pass the darn thing!

Friday we plan on going out to dinner at Fuji's with Jess and Danny to celebrate our bdays (hers was the 3rd and mine's the 23rd) and Saturday morning I have to wake up at 10 am to call Ticketmaster to get the tickets for the Metallica concert :)

ANTM

So I can't believe Ms Tyra had pulled off the show for this long.. I swear the first episode gets cornier and cornier each cycle!

Well there is a transgender this cycle named Isis and she is absolutely FABULOUS! She knows her shit and can take a helluva picture! I am so rooting for her. My other favorites (so far) are McKey, Elina and Sheena. I am so glad they sent that one girl home last night.. she was doggin Isis during her shoot.

Did anyone watch the new 90210 Tuesday night? I haven't made up my mind about it yet.. I like that some of the old characters are back but I feel that they could have picked a more attractive cast and the storylines are kinda well.. played out. So we'll see what happens.

I am so glad tomorrow is Friday! We don't have any major plans for this weekend except doing some yardwork and hanging up more pictures and hopefully curtains. I think my cousin Ashton may be coming over Sunday as well.

Home Sick

So it was a pretty good weekend.. Friday, me and Jess went to IKEA, which was extremely disappointing. When Derek got off we went to my Aunt Barb and Uncle Tom's house in Ft. Mitchell for a family party. 2 of my 2nd cousins have had babies this summer so they were there.. so cute!

Saturday, Derek had a dentist appointment. He has 7 cavities!!! I guess that's what happens when you don't go to the dentist in 7 years. I'm glad I badgered him enough this past year for him to go. We spent most of the day Saturday cleaning or hanging pictures up. My family came over and brought over our housewarming present: a cornhole set. We were so excited! Its orange with black bengal stripes. So naturally we all played some cornhole and once it get dark, took the party inside for some Snappy pizza and Euchre. Gweed showed up a little later and we called it a night close to 1.

Sunday, Derek wasn't feeling good so I went to the my brothers' football game by myself. It was fun! Although I got sunburnt.. I was so proud to see my brothers kick some Wolverine butt (no offense Amanda and Zach!)

Morgan wanted to hang out with her big sis after the game so we went to Kroger so I could get some food and then we went back to the house and watched the new episode of "I love Money". God that show cracks me up! so anyways, we had another small get-together Sunday night. My bridesmaid Nikki came (who I haven't seen in seems like FOREVER!) so it was nice to catch up with her. And Amanda and Zach came over and us girls had some good wedding planning talk. We watched the fireworks on TV and played some Rock Band and then Gweed showed up later.. I think by 2 everyone had left and Derek passed out. Me and Gweed just watched some Family Guy and I finally went to bed around 3.

Yesterday was a great day. We did absolutely nothing but nap and watch a few episodes of Heroes, gave the kitty a bath and watched the season premieres of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. Both of them were AMAZING!

Today I woke up feeling like absolute crap. I was getting ready to get in the shower for work when the nausea hit me. I threw up and quickly realized there was no way I was going to work today. So here I am. I'm feeling a little bit better but am thinking about taking a nap. So with that being said.. that's all for now. I'll post soon.

Ciao!
