The Move

I spent the whole weekend helping Brandy and Chris move from Crazy Nana's into their own house. Let me just say, in case any of you have forgotten, moving SUCKS!!!! I am so sore now and I think it's going to take me a month to recover. Leave it to me to fall while trying to move the loveseat, lol; however, I must point out that I didn't even drop my end of the loveseat when I fell. Now, you would think my brother-in-law would appreciate that fact, but no, all he wanted to do was laugh his ass off!

On the plus side, we got everything moved into the house and actually got some of it unpacked. Grayson spent the whole weekend exploring his new house and loving the fact that he didn't have Crazy Nana's dogs to deal with. I'm so glad they are actually back into a house of their own again. They are even more excited than I am, lol, especially Chris.

It's probably a very good thing they didn't have to live with Crazy Nana much longer, because I was starting to wonder if Chris was actually going to smother her in her sleep. Then again, if he had, I don't think there's a jury in the world that would have found him guilty.

Random Thoughts

I just watched this week's episode of CSI: Miami and it totally ticked me off!!!

New Moon will be here in like 31 days! I can't wait. The girlies are all going together, but we are totally making Angela sit across the theater from us because she is such a traitor. She is totally into Jacob; now, don't get me wrong, he's definitely got a hot body (even if he is still underage, lol), but there is just NO excuse for kicking Edward to the curb.

I'm taking off work Friday to help my sis and brother-in-law move. On the one hand, I'm saying "Yay, it's about flippin time they get out of Crazy Nana's house!" On the other hand, I'm saying "Ugh" because I have to help Chris with all the big, heavy things; my sis is such a weiner.

Work just sucks more and more nowadays. Too many lazy, crybaby ass people there.

If you ever meet my friend Ashleigh and she tells you how much she LOVES New Kids on the Block, you better believe it. We went out Saturday night, and she totally had to show Me and Angela her NKOTB "Full Service" panties she was wearing. It was hilarious!! Of course, we were pretty well drunk by the time she showed us, LMAO.

Tyler has Band Regionals tomorrow in McAlester; I hope they do well.

Everyone has had so many fundraisers going on, including us, that I'm definitely fundraiser poor now, lol.

I so don't want to go to work tomorrow. Did I mention that it sucks?!

I don't know how many of you have seen the trailer for the movie "Precious" that is coming out next month, but it is based on a book called "Push" and you must read it. It's a little hard to read at first because it's written from the perspective of an illiterate 16 year old, but it is such an awesome book.

Weekend Fun

As I mentioned in a previous post, Melany's hubby decided he wanted to start boxing again, so Saturday, October 3 (yes, I realize I am way behind w/my posting) there was a boxing event that included approximately 18 amateur fights and one pro fight (her hubby and a fellow about 12 years younger than him). The weight divisions ranged anywhere from 75 pounds to super heavy weight. It was a lot of fun watching all the different matches. But the real excitement started when B.J. "Creek Warrior" Waggnor walked into the ring. During his prime, he fought in over 600 matches and only lost 19 of them. I was especially excited as this was my first time getting to see him fight; he had already retired by the time I met him and Mel. Unfortunately, it might be the last time I get to see it as well; he broke his hand in the 2nd round, but you wouldn't have known it, because it never slowed him down. The fight lasts 4 rounds; he finished it with two injuries (his left elbow was already hurt because he hyperextended it the week before) and was awesome. Since the pro fight was an exhibition fight, there wasn't an actual winner announced, but it was obvious that B.J. won. It was awesome!

After the fights, we went to the bar; B.J., Mel, me, Ang, Ashleigh, Sandy, and Paula. We had a blast! Keep in mind that Mel and I don't drink very often at all, so we were all quite a sight, lol. During the night, we had a scary looking Mexican cholo try to pick up Ashleigh and Angela. Thank goodness, they weren't drunk enough for that. I also asked Sandy if she was ever a stripper because she definitely had some moves going on out on the dance floor; but, no, apparently her sister is the only stripper in that family. By the end of the night, all of us girls were pretty much drunk. Angela was basically just tipsy, because she drinks more often than we do, so she can hold her liquor better, lol. I do have to say B.J. is the man; he alone, stone cold sober, had to deal with six drunk women. I'm not sure just any man could've handled all of us, lol.

Sunday, of course, I felt like crap since I'm not used to that and I only got about four hours of sleep, but I had to suck it up because Tyler and I had to get up and go to Tulsa. We met my sis, Chris, and Grayson and went to the Disney on Ice show. It was so cute and G liked the lights and parts of the show really well. After that, we ate lunch and then Tyler and I took G around and looked at some of the fair exhibits, while Brandy went back to work and Chris went to a group meeting. When Chris got back, Tyler and I headed home so that I could get some sleep, which I badly needed.

What A Day!

I know I'm a little behind, but I just had to post about the day Melany and I had Saturday. Her hubby used to box and for some reason he thinks he needs to make a comeback, so he has his first match this Saturday. However, if you ask me, I don't think a 37 year old man should willingly get in the ring and let someone punch on him. But since he is, we decided last weekend that we needed to go get our nails and toes did and go shopping.

We started our day off by doing our nails and getting pedicures and let me tell you, that was THE BEST pedicure I have ever had. AWESOME! After that, we met my sister and her family for lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. First time there for me and Mel and it was pretty good.

So far, we have been having a good day, right? Well, nothing good ever lasts . . . when we left the restaurant, we realized we had a flat tire. So, my brother-in-law says "let's go get some fix a flat." Okay, sounds like a plan. While going to get the fix a flat, we decided to go by and look at the house they'll be moving into in a few weeks as well, which is pretty awesome. Any house is better than living with the Crazy Nana. When we got back to the car, Chris was trying to put the fix a flat in the tire and after a couple of tries, he realized the valve stem was broke. REALLY?! It's not enough to have a flat tire, but the flippin' valve stem has to be broke too. So, poor Chris had to put the donut tire on for us. I don't know about ya'll, but I hate those things. First of all, you look goofy driving down the road with one of them on AND you have to drive like a turtle.

After that was all done, we decided to go ahead and do our shopping. We ended up in Maurice's, where they have some of the CUTEST stuff. After Mel trying on three different shirts and SEVERAL pairs of jeans, we decided on an outfit. Then we had to decide on jewelry. The girly working the counter is talking to us as we are picking out jewelry. She said things like "do you guys have a punch card?" and "you guys will get two 20% off coupons." Everything was "you guys" and at first I didn't really think anything, but the more she said it, the lightbulb finally went on above my head, like in the cartoons. As we turned from the register to walk away, I looked at Melany and said "she totally thinks we're lesbians!" and we cracked up. We laughed all the way home about that. Of course, it didn't have anything at all to do with the fact that I was picking out her clothes and telling her what she could and couldn't wear, right?

So, our day went from good to bad and ended up being HILARIOUS!!!!!

Another Random Tuesday

So, it's Random Tuesday and this is my first post in quite a while . . . I'm a slacker, I suppose.

This has been quite a week and it's only Tuesday. It started off with the headache from HELL, which I have had since Sunday and STILL have. Ugh, headaches suck!

We got to work yesterday and found out that our manager was in the hospital because they thought he might have had a heart attack . . . not cool. He is 76 years old, but still . . . not what you want or expect to hear. He seems to be in really good health and very fit, but something is wrong. He is at home now, but apparently the tests didn't show anything, so we are just kind of waiting and wondering. Again, not cool.

Today is the 2nd anniversary of my significant other's death. I thought I would be really sad, but surprisingly enough I am feeling okay right now. I do miss him every day, but more than that I am sad for my son. He won't have his Dad there when he gets his driver's license, when he graduates, when he gets married, when he has his first child . . . all of the things he should have him there for. Hopefully, I can continue to be the best mom I can be and help to make up for some of that.

I think maybe this post should be called Depressing Tuesday Thoughts.

On to happier thoughts . . .

Saturday, Tyler and I hung out together. We went to see Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian and it was funny; we liked it just as much as the first one. After that, I let him decide where we would eat dinner and he picked Taco Bueno of all things. Don't get me wrong, I love Taco Bueno, but the choices included IHOP, Chili's, and several others, but as I said, we ended up at Taco Bueno. After that, we decided to go by the Crazy Nana's and visit Brandy and the family. Oh my, was Grayson ever cranky. In his defense, we did wake him up from his nap. On the plus side, Nana went to the casino, so we didn't have to deal with her.

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Well, I'm already pissed off this morning and it's only 8:25. I was trying to make a measly 15 copies of something and the damn copier kept giving me problems. On top of that, I'm tired as hell. I can't wait for Friday to get here - no work, woo hoo!!!!

Yesterday, I learned that my friend's 14 year old son has already had sex . . . twice. Tyler is 14 and I don't even want to think about the first time he has sex. I'm not even sure how a parent is supposed to deal with that. Hopefully, it will be a LONG time before I have to.

People just kill me. Our new employees have to take a physical and when it's time, they get a letter with their appointment date. Included w/this letter is the physical form that they and the doctor have to fill out. You would not believe how many come to my office saying they've lost the damn form. REALLY?! Do they think I mail it out for the hell of it?

I'm pretty sure today is going to be a very long day for me.

The air conditioning in my office isn't working very well at all, so to keep me from calling and complaining about how hot I am everyday, our HVAC guy brought this huge ass fan to me. So, everyday around noon, I roll it into the hall and turn it on so that it will blow some of the cool air from the hallway into my office. It sounds like airplanes are zooming around in our hallway, lol. It's huge and it's EXTREMELY loud, but it gets the job done, thank goodness. However, I will be glad when they figure out what's going on with the AC.

My nephew Grayson was cranky over the weekend; more so than usual, according to my sister. She took him to the doctor yesterday and poor baby has the beginnings of an ear infection, so they gave him some antibiotics. Hopefully, he feels better pretty soon.

I'm going to try to get in a better mood for the rest of the day, so wish me luck.

Random Tuesday

This is the first thing I've posted in quite a while.

This weekend was our Muscogee (Creek) Nation Festival and I volunteered, so it was a very LONG weekend. I'm still tired from it.

Yesterday was Meme's (Melany's Grandma) funeral, so it was a sad day and it took a lot out of me. It's the first funeral I've attended since Roy's (my significant other), which was almost 2 years ago. It was not an easy thing.

It's super HOT in my office . . . they keep saying the air conditioner is on and it's working, but I don't believe them. On the plus side, if I sweat enough, maybe I'll lose a few pounds.

I cannot believe how big my awesome nephew Grayson is getting. He's growing so fast. And he's SOOOOOOOOOOO cute.

I'm ready for lunch. When I leave for lunch, I'd like to just keep driving and go back home. Unfortunately, I can't because I have work to do . . . mine and Melany's. Ugh.

Work pretty much sucks.

Did I mention that I'm TIRED?

I love Random Tuesday's because I can be as coherent or incoherent as I want.
