Big Success

So the party was a success - everyone stayed late, in fact a couple of my sisters stayed until 3:00 a.m.!! Wonderboy was there and cute and sweet as ever. Too bad he's back in Indy now. He'll be home Easter weekend though, so I suspect we'll see eachother then. This weekend I have no plans which is gooood! I need to start getting things ready for Easter as I'll be the one hosting Easter Brunch. I am making homade Mac-n-Cheese and meatballs and buying assorted bread and rolls and my sisters have been assigned various other food items so it should be a big feast, I am looking forward to it! My latest project is rescuing/adopting a boxer. I filled out an application and now they are doing a home check tomorrow and then they try to find a boxer that is best suited for our family. I am really excited about it. I've always wanted a boxer, I just think they are the cutest dogs! Although they are known to be very hyper, I am going to be sure to request one that is on the more calm side. I like the idea of having a bigger dog around though, I feel safer, and especially for playing outside in the summer, I won't have to drag Kennedy in the house everytime I want to run in for a second to get something. I never let her outside for a second if I'm not there. But I'll feel more at ease with a big dog in the yard with her. I will be sure to get the ole "Beware of Dog" sign for the yard! The cost is 250.00 which is kinda steep but at least it's for a dog I really want. So that's all for now I guess. We'll see how the home visit goes, they are bringing a boxer over to "visit" so I am excited about that!

I'm back and it's Party Time!

So, I am throwing a little shin-dig for my family and close friends. Just an end of winter, hellloooo spring par-tay! I bought some cute tropical looking things to throw in the basement, enough liquor for a football team and some snacks to have on hand...sounds like the perfect party to me! I am actually really looking forward to it. I don't know if "wonderboy" will be there or not, he was supposed to be but I haven't really talked to him much this week. That is neither here nor there, I love to entertain so I will be having fun no matter what. And I told everyone to wear their summer-y clothes so we could get in the mood! Should be a fun weekend. And I MUST make it to the gym one day this weekend. I am still going... not as much as I should be but probably 2-4 times a week depending on the week....well, actually probably not 4 in a while, so, we'll agree on a happy medium of 3 ALRIGHT 2!!!!!!!!!!! SHEESH! I am looking forward to getting out of here today and getting the weekend started. Hope all is well with everyone....if anyone is even reading this thing anymore!!!

Crabby Patty

Yeah....so I think it is worse to LEAVE this God awful state and realize what you're missing by going to Florida! It was b-e-a-u-tiful in Florida and now we're here back in this mess. I honestly have to ask myself what I am thinking...."what are you thinking?!??!" So we had a great time in Florida, I need to spend all my winters there...what kind of job can you get that allows that? I also realize that I need to travel much more, it's just so fun packing up and going to a completely different place surrounded by different people, having a different routine....it's just good for ya!

Besides being crabby about the weather, I have been having some car issues that started out sounding very bad but have dwindled down to just being the radiator. The bad part is, the guy who sold me the car assured me it was under warranty till 70,000 and it only has 34,000 miles now....well, to make a long, annoying, painful story very short, it's not under warranty and so basically I am screwed. But the car is fixed and I am going to pick it up today...on the other side of the world....somewhere near Nelly Land.

In addition to the weather and the car....there is the "boy"....."boy wonder" would be a good name for him because I am always WONDERING what the hell he's thinking! He was so sweet while I was in Florida calling everyday, so comforting and helpful about my car and telling me "oh, we'll take care of it, I'll help you" etc. Then I get home and it's like he barely has 5 minutes to talk to me. I dont' think i have the patience to try to figure it out. Either you want to date someone or not. I may be a bit bitter, or just old but I am not in the mood for the guessing game! I will be making plans this weekend and if he wants to see me, he'll have to catch up with me!

There are other things I am crabby about as well but I think I've done enough complaining for one post. The good thing is that I'm getting a haircut tonight so that's always fun, I love going to the salon! I'm going to change it up, just a bit, I can't stand wearing it the same for too long!

Thanks to all who kept reading while I was MIA!

So, I think I need to get off the roller coaster with the boy. He is sweet and perfect but he has some unresolved issues with a past relationship that he needs to resolve and I think he's going to end up back in Indiana so I need to just back off, I am already far too attached to him. What a bummer that the first guy I meet after the break up is in a situation like this. Too bad, I really liked him. Then there is the ex who thinks we should run off and get married. Maybe I need to stay away from all men for a while. SHEESH! Anyway the working out is going great, as I mentioned, i work out with the ex which is weird sometimes but really it's good b/c he pushes me and he makes me go when I don't want to and he really is helping me.

I was thinking it would be a good time to go sledding! We haven't gone all year and I think with the snow coming, now would be a perfect time.

And So it Goes

So I guess it's been a bit since I've blogged. Nothing that exciting to talk about I guess. Well, there is always the cute boy. He was out of town last week from Wed-Sun and he called me everyday, he even said he missed me -awwwww! So, I saw him on Monday, we just went out to get some carry out to about 5 different places before we ended up getting pizza b/c nothing we wanted was open and picked up a cake for the b-day girl over here! I'm not sure if we'll be seeing eachother tonight or not, I hope so b/c he is going out of town again this weekend but only Fri-sun so it's not so bad. I actually got some rest last night so that was good. This weekend is my nephews going away party...he is joining the service - Army - infantry. My sister is pretty shook up about it, I can't blame her but hopefully by the time he goes through basic training and whatever else, things will change a bit. I went to the gym last night and I am going again tonight. I'm working out with my ex - which is good and bad. It's good b/c he pushes me and drags me there when I don't want to go and it's bad well for obvious reasons! Until tomorrow......(or sometime soon!)

Ain't Life Grand?!

Why is that having a new romance in your life makes everything so much better?! Well, except sleeping....sleep what's that? I've pulled more all nighters this week then I did in Colllege!!! So, things are going great with the cute boy. He is just always saying (and doing) the right thing! There must be something dreadfully wrong with him. Normally a guy is getting on my nerves by now but not him. I can't seem to spend enough time with him. It's very odd that I've only known him for a week and a half, it seems much longer, we just hit it off so well. We went to dinner and a movie Mon, went to see the Departed which was really good and we laughed so much through dinner. He is leaving to go out of town today until Sun night, whaaaa!!! That is good though, I have been neglecting all of my chores and things. I need to write out bills and straighten up my room, clean my house etc. Not to mention having a new man in your life is very expensive....I realized that I have nothing cute to wear to go out on dates and I hate all my clothes! So, I went out shopping Sat and spent waaaaaay to much money on clothes and "stuff"! I am looking forward to a low key weekend. AND I need to go to the gym, I haven't gone since last week!! Tomorrow is WW...yikes!

Everything Sucks

Well not really, not even close but this is what it's come to for Nelly and I. I have decided I hate all my clothes, work is totally boring, I am dying for white casltes but no doubt if I eat them I will gain the 1.8 lbs it took me a week and 3 work outs to get off, it's too cold to go outside for any reason whatsoever. As you can see my life is falling apart ;-)

Tonight is pizza night in my household, usually I hang out with my sissy and my babygirl and we order pizzie! I love pizzie, this is the highlight of my Friday night...how lame is that?! BUT tomorrow...Sat night, I will be livin' large. Meeting a couple girls for dinner and then we're goin' dancin and as if that's not enough of a good time...the cute boy is planning to meet up with me on Sat while we're out....my life has taken a turn for the better!!
