Too long...
I have been meaning to post and that be more regular with my postings. However, life has been crazy busy for me. It is weird.
Happenings since I last posted…
Had some stress over getting my license renewed, but that has worked out finally.
Had my 34th birthday. I typically don’t feel *older* as people always ask on your birthday, but this year I really did feel older I have to say. I think it is because of all the stress and tired of being broke so much. That is getting better though, it just takes time to get out of a hole once you are buried in it. My sister surprised me by coming out here, making me cupcakes, and arranging with a high school friend of mine to be there and I had not seen Heather in 5 years, and gave me a gift certificate for a massage!!! Then Heatehr told us she was moving in 2 weeks to Florida. It was a bittersweet visit that night, but I was glad to have the time with all. My friend Greg joined us for dinner too. Kassy from B&BW came to have a drink with me after she closed the store, and then Shante stopped by to have a couple beers and give me my card. It was a nice time that night.
Went camping with The Goings’, & Nate, Michelle & kids. The adults were out numbered by kids. I couldn’t afford to go but they told me to come and they could cover it. I am grateful for that. Thank you again guys! We had a little bit of bad luck finding a camping spot, but we did and had fun doing it. We witnessed a wedding from the comfort of our camping chairs, kicked Jim’s butt at Yahtzee (or however it is spelled), made some BBQ sauce that might have to have a taste test up against the Sigler’s, and found a kajillion little “rockfish” things in the Trask River. I don’t know that we ever found out what they were called, but they sure were weird looking. The weekend ended with an ice cream cone at the cheese factory. I had lemon blueberry pie and I think that was the best tasting ice cream EVER! I will be getting that again and it is probably a good thing that they don’t sell it in a store close to me.
Heather, Joleine, & I had a nice visit a few nights before she left for Florida to move there. Mike joined us later in the evening, we played some Xbox and I spent the night at their place.
Went to Shante’s daughter’s birthday party at Blue Lake park and after that went to my massge appointment. OH MY GOODNESS! I didn’t think I was going to be able to drive after I was done for a minute. I really had to get my bearings before I got back in the car. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice though. I didn’t hurt at all afterwards and plan to join up for the membership as soon as I can. I told myself you know what if I am working 2 jobs for a couple months short of a year now, I should be able to afford the $50/month membership for myself! Even more so that I worked 62 hours between both jobs last week!
Joleine came over last saturday and we got crafty! I enjoyed shopping getting the stuff we needed and creating our masterpiece together. I can’t wait for more times like that.
My grandpa is in town so I spent a couple evenings over at my mom’s visiting with him. He is a riot. It is like non stop laughter with him and Larry bantering back and forth. I enjoy the time that he is here with me. He asked when I was going to come visit him for a weekend in Kennewick and I told him I didn’t know because I was recently told I need 4 new tires for my car. He told me if I come to visit he will put new tires on my car for me because he has a Les Scwab account. I am on the fence about that. I don’t want him to do that for me because it doesn’t feel right to me and I think it is from my previous post about being able to accept things like that. I would pay him back obviously and I would be very grateful since I cannot even begin to wonder where I will get the money to myself all at once to take care of the tires. <sigh>
This weekend we are going to pick blueberries! I am very excited! Last year was my first time ever and I didn’t get enough to last me very long. I am also supposed to go see Mamma Mia with Natalie from work. I think I have a free movie built up on my Regal Cinemas awards card, so even better. =)
It is going to be a very exciting fall and winter with all the babies coming! =) A girl at work is due in October, my old neighbor is due in November, Val is having her’s in December, and Becka is due in January! I cannot wait! Very fun!!!!! =)
Well, I think that is all for now. Gonna go eat my tacos I made! No work at the store for me until next wednesday, it feels weird only having worked one night this week. Oh yea, that reminds me they are getting rid of a bunch of old props and stuff and I bought a bench for $1! I am super excited because it is white so it matches my room and I am thinking of getting a cushion and covering it with the left over fabric that I did my headboard with. I put it at the end of my bed so that will deter my dang dog from rubbing his ugly butt up against my covers all the time. LOL! I am going to try to post some pictures, so bear with me if it doesn’t work since I am new to this. Hope all is well in your worlds!
