~K~

Guess which girl just purchased an IPOD shuffle care of BofA? This girl... There are some really good thing about working here and that was one of them. I say purchased loosly since I didn't pay on red cent for it.. YEA!

So I'm leaving Houston tomorrow night at 7:30pm and will arrive at Dulles airport at 11:45pm.. What's kinda strange is that there's only one other person booked for the flight. I wonder if it's the same plane that took a nose dive the other day.

One word: AWESOME!


That is all!

Not much here... I'm finally getting a little caught up at work. I've still been exercising with the girls. Running and Biking. The most I've done on the bike so far is 8 miles.. Pretty good if you ask me. The running this is coming along slower than I anticipated. I think we're up to 12 minutes on running/walking. I need to get more committed to the running thing since I registered for the 5k yesterday. My Grandpa is not doing so good. The put him in a nursing home yesterday. It got to the point at home where he was stressing my grandma out way too much. He was constantly falling because he's on so much pain medicine. My Grandma pulled her back out picking him up off the ground. Not to mention that my Grandma fell and might have broken her hip and also fell in the drug store yesterday and bruised her tail bone. My Uncle is causing drama in the family. Threatening to sue my aunt for putting my Grandpa in the nursing home. Stirring up trouble between my Grandpa, my Mom, my Aunt and Grandma. Telling my Grandpa they just want him dead so they can take all of his money and stuff. Sometimes I'm glad I don't live closer then I kinda wish I did so I can help my aunt and sister during this difficult time. I'm thinking about what I'm going to do for next semester in regards to school.... I need to go to meet with a counselor. Not doing much with Amtgard although I wish I was. Thinking about starting to stamp again.. That's about it!

I'm exploring some new options in regards to my career/college. I hope to here something soon.

Happy Anniversary to me and my hubby!!

Last night we went to Sakura. Shawn got Hibachi Steak and Chicken and I got Sushi. He liked the Shaggy roll but he said he couldn't just eat that for a meal.

Then we headed to Dave and Busters to waist some time. It took us two hours to spend $20 in tokens. I got a Dave and Buster's coffee mug, a nerd rope and two sparkly bracelets with my tickets.

Then we headed over to Improv. Ian Bagg was headlining. We thought we'd try something different. It seemed like it took forever to get seated. Man I have never laughed so much in my life I think. My throat was sore after leaving there.

It was a fun anniversary evening. We're definitely going to the Improv again. Christopher Titus will be there in July and we want to go see him.

Tavi, Eskana Elaine and I have a new work out routine. Mon, Wed and Saturday we run. Tues and Thurs we bike. Our route is 5.5 miles which I was surprised at. It's getting easier so we may have to step it up soon.

Tonight Shawn and I are going out for our 12th wedding anniversary which is tomorrow. But it is more convenient to go out on Saturday night than Sunday night. I can't believe I've been married for that long. It hardly seems like that long.

I decided not to go running this morning because my shins have been hurting. I plan on getting some things done today. Maybe some cleaning and sewing. Tomorrow the boys are gaming and I need to go to the store. I probably should clean my bathroom and the little bathroom downstairs.

I'm helping Mary with the Amtgard Demo at Apollocon. I am a Con virgin. I've never been to a con. I'm going to be staying in a room with Mary Friday and Saturday night. It should be interesting.

Not much else. I'm exploring some ideas for a part time job. I'm looking into a part-time job at north cypress medical center...If that doesn't pan out I may go to Barnes and Noble, Petsmart or Bestbuy.. I think Petsmart would be fun. I just want to accelerate my paying off bills. I need to get out of the banking industry although my job is not that bad. It's going to take me longer to be able to apply for the Nursing program. I'm looking for alternate ideas to be able to work in a hospital. Surgical technology looks cool..We'll see.

I need to try and finish my dress and my new bodice before Apollocon. Apparently there is a costume contest. It would be cool if I could enter my dress.

Anyways. That's all for now.

Yep that's what I have

But thanks to some really mentholy lotion and Aleve last night my shins feel better today!

So I'm sending my Laptop to be fixed...I was having some problems with hardware and different applications which they could fix by having remote access to my computer. But they can't fix the number pad by doing that. They are sending me a postage paid box and they are going to replace the broken hardware and send it back to me all with in a week and for free... I haven't even had it for a month yet. I'm starting to regret getting a refurbished laptop.

I should've stayed home today. I'm just not feeling it. It kinda suck when you have a lot to do and don't want to do it..

Today we've been in our house 2 years... WOOT!

28 years to go before the house is paid for..I'll be 58..Now that's scary!!

Shawn will be 61........

-5 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

I have my laptop... It is more awesome than I expected!!!!

Now I can be more lazy than I was before...

We've been very productive the last few days at home. On Monday night J put up my curtain rod for the curtain over the Laundry room door. He put together my cabinet for the down stairs bathroom. I hemmed the curtain for the Laundry room and with the left over made a table runner for the breakfast nook table. Then J put together the shelves I bought for the garage and I helped him organize that. I found some things that had gone missing since the move to the house.. Woot for organizing.. The Garage looks 100 times better. I think we need 2 more shelves in there though.

Last night J put up my cabinet and I hung to pics in the Bathroom. I'm going to print some ocean pics from when we were in CA and put them in the frames. They only thing left for that bathroom is to find something to go on top of the shelf. Yea for finishing the first fully decorated room in my house..LOL

I'm leaving early today from work cuz I have an appt to go to..Better get to work I guess.

"Life is not about being happy and whole because things work out the way we wanted. Life is about being whole regardless of what happens:" Anne Rudloe

I have been stimulated by George Bush today..WOOT!

New laptop here I come!!

What type of Fae are you?

Friday: got to the event... Not much was going on. I hung out at gate. When Kane and Kim they put their tent up. Then Kim and I went on a food run for the guys. Got back and drank a few beers. Forest tried to get me to sit on his shoulders and chicken fight with another girl... I ended up on the ground with Forest and Sly on top of me. Had interesting conversations with Ivar regarding Bot (sp?)flies and one about Bananna's with Oznog and Mara... Some how Ivar got away like a smart man and didn't get stuck there talking about bananna's for 30 mins. After that I noticed everyone was in a circle watching two girls in the middle making out. That's when I decided to go to bed. I wasn't nearly drunk enough for that..

Saturday: I help judge Dragonmaster which was interesting. That's all I'm going to say about that. I hung out watching the battle and lack of battles. Around 3ish Mary showed up. We walked around with her and chatted..I got ready for court. Feast was great!! I didn't know what to expect when they said Tacos and Tortilla soup but it was really delicious! CK's court went first which was long and it didn't help that I couldn't hear anything Arthon was saying. Our court started..Many awards were given, I'm not surprised I didn't agree with most of them. Dughan's knighting was nice. I told him again my advise about not wearing plum smuggling pants anymore. Kim and I drank a lot. I think she was drunk by 10pm. Jenny Adam's girlfriend brought Jello shots which were very strong. I had a little of this a little of that like I normally do. Kim and I had talked a lot with JuJu which involved Salsa dancing and me and JuJu switching sleeping places for the night. But I won't go into that. I think I went to bed around 2:30am.

WOOT! No hangover the next day. I don't know how I managed that.

I learned a few things about sleeping in your car at events...It's very uncomfortable but I like not having a tent to put away in the morning. Also you should'nt crack your window in mosquito season. And if so sleep with your feet under the covers. I had mosquito bites all over my feet and ankles...

I had a fun weekend.
