Fly-By Post

A super-quickie. I'm good. Super-duper busy and such, but good. My toe's healed (yay) and all that good stuff.

Saturday I went out with my SIL. Got about 6 inches or so of hair cut off and my stylist thinned it out too. Only took her an hour and a half, which is a record for fastest hair cut EVER!!!! After we did that, we did some shopping. Shame on me. But, I needed to buy some shorts for work 'cuz the hot weather's coming upon us (whimper) and my brother advised me I could. So, I did. And y'all? I bought a size I haven't worn since my early 20's!!!!! Whoot! Color me thrilled. :D

Sunday was good. I spent most of the afternoon playing with my nephews. Well, Dylan played "Angry Birds" on my I-Pod while Coopy & I played. lol. All in all it was a great day.

I hope to write a decent post soon. I'm just so braindead by the time I get home, I'm lucky I can remember my own name. Not only that, but I'm inspired and have been writing. Yay!


PS...I bought "21" by Adele. One of the best albums I've heard in a LONG time. Just amazing. :)

Ouchies!

I hurt myself at work yesterday. *headdesk* And sadly? It was completely & totally my fault. *sigh*

I was moving a pallet (wooden slat thing) and it ricocheted off my foot. Ripping up a piece of my big toenail. So, now I've got a very big ouchie on my right toe. Makes wearing shoes and such a pain, let me tell ya. *sigh*

Other than that, things are good. I'm tired (surprise) and such, but that's pretty typical. Pigging out on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (minis) cuz they're good and I'm seriously PMSing y'all. Not that you needed to know that. Ha!

So, I'm wallowing in misery. Cranky. Tired. Bloated. The usual. Heh

*Yawn*

Boy, oh, boy. I am so tired! One thing I can say about this job is that it is physical and the days are long. But, I'm getting buff!! I have biceps for the first time in eons. lol

Things are going well though. Work's great. My relationship with my family is the best it's been in a long time. I really like it here. We're finally settling into our groove...I think. lol

Still don't have any gumption to read. I can't seem to get my brain to focus. My writing's nonexistent as well, which sucks. It'll all come back though. I've got a lot going on in my brain right now, which is making it hard to think. *sigh*

Nalini Singh is coming to Chicago in JUNE!!! *happy dance* I'm hoping I'll be able to go to the signing. I'd so love to finally meet her in person. :)

I've had this sinus thing since I got here. It's getting old. Thankfully, Alka-Seltzer makes this amazing sinus remedy, which is actually helping me. I'm feeling much better, but am getting tired of blowing my nose every five minutes. :P

Cooper fell down the basement steps last weekend and busted his collarbone. He jumped the steps and hit hard. He has to wear a brace for the next few weeks. For a 3 year old, he's doing really good. He refers to his arm as his friend Ouchie. lol

And that's about all. I'm going to go play some brainless entertainment and then it'll be off to bed. Ciao!!

*sigh*

It's a dreary day here in Livonia. The weather's been pretty consistent for being kind of bleh, but the sun usually comes out sometime during the day. Not so much these last couple of days.

Work's been crazy busy. We're way ahead of schedule though, so the "big" boss is very happy with us. I've been making boxes like they're going out of style. My hands just plain ache. :(

I've got a ton of books to read, but no gumption to read them. By the time I get home at night, I'm pooped. The last thing I want to do is focus. Heh. So, reading hasn't been much of a necessity recently. I'm hoping it'll change soon, because I miss books!

Sometime soon I'd like to go exploring. I haven't done so yet.

Saturday was Cooper's 3rd birthday. We went bowling & then had tacos for dinner. Cooper may only be 3, but he's extremely precocious and very verbal. He's a chatterbox. lol. He's also a little stinker, but he's so cute you can't stay mad at him for long. :)

There's so much I could talk about on here, but honestly it's like my brain's blank. I can't seem to keep a thought in my head for very long. Right now my biggest concern is getting out on my own. I need to contact my mom's real estate guru and have him get the ball rolling. I don't even know where to begin. I hope to be out within the next few months. Thankfully the income tax here is less than a third of what Portland's was, so I get bigger paychecks. Yay!

I'm off. Going to go chill out for a bit before it's time to go to bed. Have a great day, y'all!

I'm Alive!

And finally got access to the interwebs. Guess how? Thru my 'droid phone of all things. Yay!

It's been a long, drawn out process, but we're finally all moved in to the house. Work's been insanely busy and I'm tired. Right now I'm just trying to keep my brain functioning. So far...not so good. Heh.
