Edition #6

Thirteen things that I loved as a child! 1. GI JOE.... Oh yes I was the ultimate tom boy. I would have rather had GI Joe over Barbie anyday of the week! When my older sister would annoy me, her barbies got hair cuts! 2. Sesame Steet! I especially loved Snufalufagus! I know I probably spelled it wrong, but oh well. I just loved me some Sesame Street! 3. Troll dolls, I bet I had 100 of those ugly little, wild haired dolls. I had them in many sizes, shapes and colors! They were just the coolest to me. 4. Beating up any one at school who dared to upset my older sister, at least until the 5th grade. I figured if anyone had the right to piss her off or hurt her feelings, it was me, no one else. I was dead serious about it too! Then I realized that she thought it was funny and let her suffer. 5. The Smurfs! How they heck was there only one girl anyways? 6. I was much like Dennis the Menice as a child. Mom never knew what I was going to get into. To say it worried her is to say the very least! Did I mention that we lived in the woods??? I would bring home frogs, turtles and various insects in my pockets, then usually chase said older sister with them. She still hates frogs.... 7. Afternoon an Saturday morning cartoons, I mean come one it was things like She-Ra, He-Man and X-Men. Why bother with the cartoons the kids watch today! 8. Writing on chalboards. For a while we lived in this really old house, and I figured out I could write with the chalk on the walls and it would wash right off! God did that ever get me into trouble with my mom!!! 9. Bath Time! Lets face it, I was a very adventurous kid. Bath time represented room for so much of that! Only I was limited cause mom learned early what a mess I could and would make in the bath tub if she let me have a toy or two in there. So All I got was a bar of soap and the wash cloth, but I wouldnt come out till the water was cold! 10. Puppies! We had a beautiful Australian Shephard, named Gracie. Every time she had puppies, my mom would catch me outside with her and the babies at all hours of the night. I mean they were so cute and little and the dog let me in her area from day one! 11. Care Bears! I loved them! They were so fun, they werent a threat to my tom boyish ways. Or at least not the way I saw it! They were just teddy bears and that was good to me! 12. Hot wheels/ Micro machines! yeah I had a little brother, so there was a cache of wealth that I could have access to at all times! Who needed barbies dream car, i could play with dozens of cars at once! 13. Climbing trees! I would climb them as high as I could, many a time, only to come down when mom acted as if she may faint from how high I was. She always thought I was gonna break something! I never did, but I can recall a few times that I thought I might! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

Now Im just depressed...

Well even though we made an offer on this house, full asking price offer, we still didnt get it. NOO. Some other person made an offer that weekend, the same freaking offer. Ours was in first, and they took that persons offer. At this point, I am scared to even try again. I want a house! I want to get out of that way too small apartment. Every time I look at a house, I want to cry. Poor Adam feels like theres a conspiracy against us. I cant lie, I kind of feel that way too. Every time we have liked a house, some one else gets it right from under us. This time we offer the full asking price, and some one else still got it! What the fuck??? Excuse my language please. Im really that frustrated. Sigh......

Waiting again....

So we are, again, waiting. We went to see a house on Saturday morning. We really werent expecting it to be one that would impress us. But it did. It needs minor cosmetic repair, and some love, but it is in great shape. So we made an offer right there. Now we are just waiting to see what the freaking seller has to say about our offer. They cant counter with much because we actually offered all the asking. So heres to crossing our fingers! Hopefully tomarrow night I will have a victorious amount of news!

Edition #5

Thirteen Things on my mind this week.... 1. Houses, why are all these sellers being totally impossible!!??!! 2. How can we go from a really good day to shit in 2 minutes flat?? 3. I love holidays, I hate holidays.... seems Adam is always some where other than with me. Yeah Im just being over sensitive. But in all honesty I understand why he wants to go to his family things alone. We get hassled about getting married so badly if we are both there. I dont really want to deal with that shit this week! 4. Hmmmm.... Texas A&M vs University of Texas game on Friday! KILL THE BEEF! BEVO ITS WHATS FOR DINNER! Go AGGIES! 5. Why in the world am I really getting up with my mother on Friday morning to go to all these stores? There really isnt anything in specific that I want to buy for anyone anyways. 6. Have I mentioned, damn house sellers are getting on my nerves? Oh well have another showing on Saturday! 7. I started a new book yesterday! Not really a new book, Ive read it before and its really old. Its Elvis and Me by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley. I love books about him. 8. I still have no clue what I am supposed to be making for our family dinner at my moms tomarrow! Geeze! 9. Kelly Pickler! That girl gets on my nerves. She sounds like a cat got a claw in her tongue when she sings. I think my version of hell would be me stuck in an elevator with her music playing! I really wonder why anyone gave that twit a recording contract. 10. I LOVE MY JOB, I LOVE MY JOB, I LOVE MY JOB!!!! 11. I miss my sisters, Lisa and Hope the munchkin. 12. Katherine and Kristy. They had a really rough week and I have had no time to call them. I feel like the worst friend in the world. 13. Schools out!!!! For a few weeks anyways!!! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1.

Houston, Its a no go!

Ok so we got the sellers counter again today. They still havent budged, so I told them where to kiss it. So we are still on the house market. Looks like we wont be out of this apartment for a while. But thats how it goes I suppose. That just means that I get to put up my Christmas Tree tomarrow!!! Yehaw! Yay for Christmas! I love decorating, had we gotten that house, I would have closed on December 21st so we wouldnt have put up the tree. Now Im excited about that even though I am disappointed with the idea of losing that house. But hey it happens, and we will find a house when the house is right.

Still Waiting!

So the seller made a counter offer. Get this, they only dropped their asking price by $995. What! My mom has the same house, in a different neighbor hood! She paid alot less for the house. So..... I told my agent that, who passed this info along to the seller. Now we are getting ready to counter their counter offer. Yeah I play hard ball! I want this house but not at the crazy amount these whack jobs are asking!!!
So we make our counter tomarrow! I am totally excited!! I shouldnt be but I am! I want to be in my own house before Christmas!!!!!

Waiting....

So this weekend we have done a whole lot of hurry up and wait. Incase you are wondering why, we offered on a different house. This time a much nicer house near both of our families. It is a house we like a lot more than the one we originially offered on. I am trying very hard not to be excited, you know just incase they say no. Adam is ready to negotiate though, and this time he is really wanting to get this house. So we will see what happens! The sellers have until Monday at 6pm central time to respond to our offer! So lets all keep those fingers crossed!

Just for laughs I will tell you about our adventures at Kohls today. Taking Adam shopping for clothing for him is always challenging. He hates spending money that much. Well today there was just no getting around it. From day to day he wears dress clothing for work, so he doesnt wear blue jeans often. So the other night he was running around in his one and only good pair of blue jeans. Which shouldnt have been a problem, right? Well it was. When he decided to be silly and try to remove me from the chair I was sitting in, we heard it. RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!! Oh and it was not a small rip, no it was a big one. It went from one seem to the other right above his knee. So since the weather has been teasing us, trying to get cold, I convinced him to go buy new jeans today. Yeah what a trip. He took jeans in and stared at his butt for several minutes before he would show us what they looked like. Finally after around an hour he had a pair of jeans in hand, ready to be purchased! I swear he is soo picky! It was quite laughable though.

This is a meme from Kris!!! What I have to do is reveal 5 things about myself that my readers and friends may not know! So here goes!!!

1. I love ducks! Little yellow ducks! They are the coolest! I have close to 100 of them and my family encourages it for some reason! I think Adam wishes that they wouldnt!

2. I have ugly feet! I hate my feet. But for some reason I keep them pretty well manicured. If there is even a spec of polish missing, I will remove it to put on fresh polish!

3. I have a scar on my left knee that is like a white line. I got it when I was having xrays and when they couldnt see the bones in my knee, they drained the fluid off. Well when they stuck the needle in place, my leg twitched. Well yeah that ripped back the skin, yuck I know, but still it happend. The good news is they could see the xrays that time! I still have problems with that knee though!

4. Every one knows I have 2 sisters, but what I dont talk about often is that I have 4 brothers. William who is in Texas, Christopher and Matthew who are here in Omaha, and Alan who is stationed in Hawaii and whose wife has a baby due any day now. So I am gonna be an aunt for the frist time some time soon! Its a boy!!!

5. My grandfather was in the Navy in WWII and stationed in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked! If he had not lived through that, I would not be here! Thank God for survival!

Now I am supposed to tag 5 people to do this but I will leave it up to you! Join in if you would like to do this meme! Let me know if you do though, that way I can see yours!!!

Edition #4

Thirteen resons that Wednesday sucked! 1. It all started Tuesday evening! We all know I work late late nights. I got a Jury Duty summons, and had call in after 5:00 pm on Tuesday to see if my name had been long listed. Sure enough it had been! Jury duty here I come! 2. I didnt get off work until 230 Wednesday morning. Oh joy! 3. 7:00 am came very early on Wednesday morning! Had to be in the car and on the way by 7:45 am. 4. We had to sit in a room for assembly for about an hour waiting for the judge and such to be ready for us, and I didnt bring a book or anything to stay occupied. 5. There was a rude woman in who also got pulled who was talking on her cell phone very loudly, every other word out of her mouth was FUCK. Ok so I dont mind the swearing, but there is a time and place. 6. It decided to get really cold and all I wore was a leather blazer. 7. The questioning for selection lasted forever, and I got short listed. 8. All day long I felt as if my head was gonna explode! 9. Have I mentioned that I thought I would fall asleep in the cold court room while the state attorney explained, reexplained and over explained his questions??? 10. I had to be back at work from 630-230am! Woohoo stay awake! 11. Get to work, every guest who called had a stick in their ass or wanted impossible things! I think not! 12. Have I mentioned I ate a bowl of soup and thats all during the day? 13. Well now its all over and I slept til noon! No more Jury Duty for me! yoohoo no more! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1.

Stuff

So I am a total idiot. My schedule at work changed recently. On Sundays I work from 630pm to 0230 am. Well my previous schedule had me arriving at 530pm. So for some reason I kicked into stupid gear this afternoon. I was here and working a whole stinking hour early. This is totally a no no in my workplace. So I really dont look forward to the slap on the hand Im gonna get tomarrow. I feel so stupid. Every one else has told me to relax, its not like I mess up on a regular basis. But damn that was just uncalled for.

On the positive front. Adam and I had another house showing this last week. We are seeing that house again this after noon. We may even make an offer on it. So lets all cross our fingers again! With any luck we will get this one. I mean I like the house, its cute, its rather large. But it doesnt have a basement. Which if you live in the midwest, you know this is just standard to have. Im excited all the same. Its even got a fireplace! Yoohooo!!!

Christmas is around the corner. While I hate the commerciality that it has become about. I do love the holiday season. I love decorating the tree, I love the smells, the music. I love it all. I dont, however, love the crazy ranting of what to get for every one. Though I do love to see the joy on their faces when they all open their presents. That alone makes it all worth it to me. I have yet to decide what to get for Adam. But my sisters and his sisters are taken care of. Although I know what I am getting from Adam already, that is if we get this house. Im getting furniture. Shopping for him is totally hard for me. He wants something, he just buys it. So Im thinking, practicle. This is how he likes his gifts anyways. I will probably get him some new blue jeans, socks and shirts. But for his big present, I am sooo stumped!!! I had been contemplating power tools, but I cannot keep up with what he does and doesnt have! Jeeze! Any ideas???

Edition #3

Thirteen Things I love about my boyfriend!!! 1. Even when I am less than cordial, he is always there for me and supportive! 2. When I have had a bad day he tries to do something nice for me. One time I had been super sick and when I got home from an especially crummy day, he had left the lights off then put a teddy bear, chicken noodle soup and a homemade card on the table for me to find when I got home. He was hiding in the closet video taping my reaction. I still love that teddy bear! 3. When I am sick, he takes care of me. He will make sure I have every thing I need, take my temperature, and just about anything else I may need. 4. At the beginning of every week, he sits down and sorts all my vitamins for me! Yep thats a good thing! If it wasnt for him, I would never get my vitamins taken! 5. Sometimes for no reason at all, he will bring me flowers! He is the only person to ever do that for me! 6. This past summer, he dared to take me to Chicago to watch baseball! This was mighty daring because is was the White Sox vs. Astros. Which at the time was a world series repeat!!! I am an Astros fan, so I was totally hated in that crowd, and every person who said something about it, he was ready to step in for me! It so could have gotten his ass kicked, but he stood up for me anyways!!! 7. He took me to my first opera this year. That was one of the coolest experiences ever! 8. I have these horrindous nightmares that I would not wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy. He will wake me up every time and let me know that it was just a dream which makes me feel so much better. 9. Thunderstorms... I was traumatized as a child when we were unable to leave our home and we rode out Hurricane Andrew. From that point forward (I was 10), I have never dealt with thunderstorms the same. He doesn't make fun of me or anything, he just tries to help me to get through them all. 10. He understands. I have a situation with my father that is rather uncomfortable that I generally choose not to share with the world. He just isnt accepted in the general public. He doesnt make me feel like my family should be shamed. Instead he tells me that it is my choice to deal with him the best way I can. He never ever has ridiculed my father, though I have told him enough to make him seriously hate the man. 11. He has dealt with my picky nature for a year with house hunting. Every time he has liked a house, I have hated it. We have totally loved just two houses. But chose not to take either. Now I am trying to be less picky on what I want. What about what he wants?? 12. He lets me drive his car when I dont want to drive my truck! I know thats silly, but I sometimes miss my little car. Thats when I swipe his keys! He never gives me a hard time or acts like Im gonna put a dent or a scratch on it. 13. He loves me!!!! Thats the most important one! He makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! He also knows my every fault, yet he never fails to point out where he thinks I am perfect! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

Update

Well the crazy seller lady, counter offered. She wants full asking price or nothing. Shes like queen of never never land at this freaking point. The stuff we would have to do to this house would cost us a good 10000-15000 dollars. Shes on crack. But we have yet again asked for a counter offer to what she wanted. Im ready to throw something. Why does it have to be sooo stressful.......

Now!

Sorry guys, Ive not posted in a few days. Its hectic around my home right now. Its final time at school! My school has quarters instead of semesters, so its more accelerated. Also I had two papers due for my Government class for Monday, and 4 for my Civ class for Friday. I decided to take my weekend to do all of those. Done except one paper! Wooohoo go me! Oh yeah and not to mention mounds of homework on the side of those spur of the moment papers.

Then on Friday, we made an offer on a house we have seen 3 times. So now its the hurry up and wait phase. We should have an answer from the seller by 1800 today! Im a bag of nerves, I think Adam is too! So we have been picking out things we need to get, things we would need to update, and such. Getting too far ahead of ourselves. But hey if they turn it down, theres always other houses. We just really like this one.

Work has been totally interesting. Some lady is pissed that she cant get the hours she wants, so she wants the temps to be gotten rid of! Hello thats me. So Im trying my best to do the best at my job! I need to be seen as an asset! I mean I would just go back to sales but I love my department, so I dont really want that to happen. So is life though, when it gives me lemons, I try to make lemonade.

Life has been totally hectic! Hopefully this will all stop soon! I just need a good nap! Hope you all are doing well!

Thursday Thirteen Edition #2

Thirteen Random things about me... 1. When I get really angry I will cry instead of yell. I really am not confrontational. It gets even worse if it is someone I love that I am angry with! 2. I cant stand to see some one bite their nails. It just grosses me out! I mean come one use a set of nail clippers or a file! 3. Instead of getting addicted to TV shows, now days I get addicted to commercials... You know the ones where there are actors with real people talking about their insurance? I sing along with Little Richard every time, and Adam just wants to throw something at me every time that one comes one... 4. I'm addicted to V8 with pickle juice, and its got to be spicy. I know it sounds gross but I love it! Yes this started as an accident. I got up one night, went to get a pickle and my juice. Well I was watching TV and pored the pickle juice instead of the V8. Well then I thought that there was no going back then. So now 8 years later or so, I still do it, worse my sisters do too.... 5. Probably the most girly thing that I do is my high heels. If Adam had one thing he would change about my habits, it would be my need to give shoes a home. I am in love with High heels! Next on my list of shoes to adopt, black or brown super pointy toed boots, and they need to be knee high!!! I sound like I am looking to adopt a pet don't I???? 6. I recently was introduced to mineral makeup by Adam's sister Sue. Now I am in love with it. Yes it can get pretty expensive, but its wonderful. I used to be so weird, compulsive about makeup removal, now if I fall asleep I don't have to worry about weather or not I will have a whole slew of acne in the morning. I never could do that before. I swear I have had maybe 3 pimples in the 8 months that I have used this makeup! 7. I probably tell Adam that I love him more often than I should, then I get frustrated when he laughs at me. Usually its more like a giggle, yep a giggle, but I get pretty frustrated. I some how became a silly girl all the sudden! 8. I don't really find myself attractive. In fact I really only like maybe two of my attributes, my eyes and my hands. I think I have pretty eyes, even though they are brown and that's generally boring. I love my hands, they remind me of my grandmother, long and slender hands that my mom calls piano hands. I am constantly cutting my finger nails, they just grow so fast that I cant keep up with them! 9. Ive always wanted to sky dive. I hate taking rides in airplanes, but I would love to jump out of one! Now how sick is that. 10. I am the only one of my mother's daughters that doesn't have a tattoo or a belly button piercing. The other two have both, not to mention two tattoos a piece. I just am not a fan of pain, nor am I a fan of needles. Sorry but unless its absolutely necessary, I don't want no needle in me... Who knows maybe one day I will change my mind... 11. If I could go any where in the world, I would travel to Australia. I have a great friend over there, Janelle. I would love to meet her and see various things like the Sydney Opera House. I would also, yet another way I am a big dork, love to go to the Australia Zoo. I loved the Crocodile Hunter, OK! 12. I am a freak over little yellow duckies! Hell who am I kidding, I am a freak over any little duckie! I have about 100 of them, not including my rug in my bathroom, shower curtain and soap dispenser! I know I'm a freak. 13. If I won the lottery, I would still drive my old truck, go to work on a regular basis and shop at walmart. Money would just make my life a little more comfortable and support my home for homeless shoes.... Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)

Happy Halloween!

I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone who reads this, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Of coarse I was at work, so no fun for me, but hey thats ok. After tonight I am off three days anyway! Yippee!
So I made Adam a card, while I was totally bored at work tonight! I found the funniest turkey on a website, cut it out, colored it and made him a card. Then on the back colored and pasted a turtle in stead of say a halmark sign.... Now since you are all thinking I am silly, let me explain the turkey and turtle. I have this habit of hiding under the blankets, and having a hole where my little nose and such pokes out for air at night. (making it hard to share blankets) So he calls me his little turtle. He on the other hand is really good at bowling! If you get three strikes, its called a turkey. Well he got them so often, that I started calling him my turkey soon after we started dating seriously. Its stuck. So the card has said funky, funny looking turkey on it. On the front it has little red hearts all around it and says "here's a turkey.... (inside) for my turkey." Then on the back my turtle with "made by turtle industries."
Yep I was being silly. But it was good for taking up some time. Plus I know he will keep it and laugh at it. Which really was the goal. To get a good laugh that is.
Anyways if you want to see funny turkey..... Here he is!

Dang thing looks like he swallowed a golf ball!!
