Truly a Rainy Day Story

At least for those of us here in NWA.

But even though it is rainy, I managed to sleep good again and wake up in a really good mood. I've written myself a small todo list and even made a small change to the 101. I'll now be doing 10sit ups every morning! I am behind two days so I'll make that up today. It's something I'm actually excited to do.

Its almost a hot coco-good book-warm blanket kind of day, expecially with it raining as hard as it is. But I'm in the mood to go buy some rain boots(which I need to do anyways) and go play in it!

Yesterday was also a pretty good day. Minus the fact that my right hand middle finger nail was almost ripped off and I broke a bottle of hot sauce then cut my knee on a small peice. ER(my housemate) and I went furniture shopping! I didn't buy anything, but she bought a cute chef picture. I was greatly inspired by the last store we went to. I really love interior decor. Really love it. So I will be applying for a job at a furniture store and getting my foot in on the interior design. Not to mention I'm hoping to get a discount or two :)

on the furniture note though, my room is coming along well. I'm still going through a few ideas in my head, looking for furniture and drawing some pieces up(a friend is going to custom make me some). I will definitely make sure to post some pictures with the finished product.


Im really excited about today, so i'm going to go get started!! Anything really exciting happens I'll make sure to tell you!

The Walking Dead

Just sittin' here, watching the above show. With BFTAG. My usual buddy had to work. BFTAG is a pain n the butt more often than not, but he has a big screen to watch zombies on...and is reading over my shoulder....

You may have noticed, I updated my 101 in 1001!!! yay! August 3, 2014 is my end date. Be proud, I started working on number24. I made my bed this morning at looked beautiful. :)

You will not have to worry about pitty party posts, they will be few and far between.(as BFTAG laughs at me, jerk). I'm going to turning a new leaf and embracing a much more positive attitude that I've obviously lost. And I do apologize. This list is going to be much more helpful at keepin me positive and will also make your reading much more enjoyable. I am also excited to do a much needed picture post. I just need a laptop and my cord for the phone to be together at the same time.

I shot some hoops today! And actually made it in the..goal? a few times! It was fun. The past two days have had beautiful weather. I'm just really hoping tomorrow will be nice also. Having days go from nice to hot to cold gets annoying, especially when you don't listen to the weather. Not to mention the gorgeous colors that have enveloped the trees. I'll try to post pictures of that also.

It's hard to blog with someone reading over your shouder.


I know I've said this, but, I am really excited about this positive attitude and this new sence of freedom. I'm excited to be out with the old and in with the new. Very excited.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and that ya'll have an amazing week!

(Bythe way did any Arkansans or you OKs feel that earthwake? It scared me to death!)

Is it over yet???

Question how long can a person pretend everything is going okay before they break down into a ball of tears??

Just wondering.

Well today was pretty good over all! I can cross off #98! Woo hoo I am gettin' it done! lol That is right ladies and gentle men! I have been enrolled, and registered for my classes! So excited!

Okay all, I'm sorry there is so much on my mind right now that I can not concentrate to save my life. So I will write the funness of today down and blog it later. Ugh I am so sorry!

A Wednesday Short Story

So I've decided that Wednesdays will be my short post days, but story sounds so much more intriguing!

Well I can very happily knock #93 off! I did it! I got my library card!! Woot Woot! I'm pretty darn happy! I also FINALLY filed my fafsa! Ugh what a wait off my shoulders! Now to check out :) some math books! The Rogers library is pretty cool, I'm sitting here by a window at a desk, so much nicer than getting uncomfortable by a window or stuck in one of the study rooms at Sdale library. Although that is also a nice one.

Swimming did happen yesterday but not with my Dear Amazing Friend! She had a family situation pop up so we'll get together later(please pray!). But I did go last night with Josh and the dogs. Had tons of fun getting Goblyn to swim, he loved it. Then a rouge dog came along and started making the night not so much fun. He seemed nice and all but I didn't want my dogs starting a fight. Josh ended up getting hooked(funny story). He caught his first fish off the bank in months and the lure had three hooks, the fish had two and then josh was posing for a picture. Well the fish got ticked and decided he was going to hook josh so he flailed until one of the hooks caught Josh in the tummy. Don't worry it barely got him.

PS

Look the Rogers Library even has study lights!! LOVE IT!!!

The NEW 101

Is pretty much going to be exactly like the old one. with a few tweeks.

And I have a few secret devices up my sleeves(mwah-hahahaha). I have the countdown app and the water drinking app. Woohoo!

I'm really excited about re-doing the whole thing because I started to feel like a horrible slacker, which may sound funny to you but I am a horrible list person. Mix that with procrastination traits and your in for a little depression. But that is ALL going to change, I am quitting cold turkey on this procrastination stuff! As cliche as it sounds I am about to be a full time college student, full time wife and part time business woman, so I don't have time for procrastination. I made a list today and got most of it done which makes me really happy!

Well yesterday was my moms birthday party and it was nice to see her and the rest of everyone living in the house. I had a great time spending time with my uncle(longish story for another post I'm sure.) Today is my step-sisters birthday, have I mentioned that August is really busy for us?!

I've got to go make PIZZA DOUGH!! Don't worry a more personalized post will be here soon!

Captian Crunch knock off

This stuff has totally stolen my heart!!

It's the kind with the little colored pieces...mmm-mmm-good....

I am happy to report that I almost have my voice back!! I felt absolutely horrible this morning but now I feel so much better. Expect now...I seem to be developing a sinus head ache. UGH I want to never have allergies again. I wish they would go far far away!!

This weekend was pretty lame because I was sick.

Okay about the whole 101 thing. I have failed pretty well(at least in my eyes, which are very critical of myself), so I am going to go ahead and RESTART! woot woot, because you can do this with these things! Don't worry I won't be doing a restart again. But there are a lot of things that I really do want to do and don't like that I've already missed a a week or two on. Not to mention a few things I want to change.

I am happy to report that my ginormous squash plant is doing great and I have a zucchini/cucumber growing along with a TON of shallots that have popped up out of no where!! But on the flip side I'm sad to report that my Ox heart tomato plant has passed away and something ate/cut my strawberry plant. Yeah way not happy about that one, but hey you win some you lose some.

Oh! I am pretty excited and a wee bit(super) nervous! I set up my college email! (fist pump) and am setting up going to orientation and getting my classes scheduled. I also and working on student loans( I missed FAFSA... I think). Shopping is going to be so much fun this weekend!

By the way is anyone else excited to see the Bachelor Pad2??

One Week Mark!

One week...one whole week

And I am not as far as I want to be but oh well.

So to The Real Housewives(of New Jersey). As mush as Joshua can't stand it, I like it almost as much every other woman loves it. But I love it because I try to keep drama out of my life. The only place i want drama is on my tv! I'm going to go ahead and Amen myself on that one lol! Oh and it (both house wive shows I watch ie New York and New Jersey) reminds me of who I don't want to be.

I plan to one day have a good chunk of change in my/our account. I will not be blwoing it on frivolous things or throwing it away on stupid expensive clothes. I will be doing a lot for people in need. I am NO saint nor am I trying to be "look at me and what I do/can do" kind of thing. See this is how I see it, when I die that money is all staying here on Earth, ain't none of going to heaven and what would I rather be remembered for?? For being really rich? Or for helping others and showing the love of Christ?

P.S. If any housewives do read this please tone the cussing down and if you're going to keep referencing Christ take his teachings into consideration with your actions, your words and your clothes. Please.

Anyways I have failed on my watering drinking today. Not to mention my bible reading, and post card sending. I may need to tone that down to one post card a month or every two weeks. BUT I did write some of one of my stories!! woohoo I'm getting closer to the end!

hmm..I don't have any pictures to throw in so I'm going to go to bed! Night!

Day Four

And the UBER excitement is on!

I heard back from NWACC yesterday, the financial adviser. She gave me the info I needed and a few attachments to help me with pay for college. So taking care of #98 is in the process. Not going to lie I am a little nervous, but I can't wait to get it over with.

I found some Bob and Toms that I love.

So many shoes so little money!! I really do love both the Bobs and the Toms because I have heard great reviews about both brands and both donate a pair of shoes when you buy a pair. I'm hoping to buy a pair or two when I go up to Minneapolis! So #99 you better watch your back!

Today has been fun! I went to a puppy play date with a high school friend of mine, the best part is I don't think we ever spoke to each other as much as we did today when we were in high school. Kind of sad kind of funny. I was totally going to get a picture of him picking up his dogs poop, but Fonzi kind of played a joke. He acted like he was going potty for like 3minutes and when my friend went over there he couldn't find it. So I though I would try to help...I couldn't find it either. So we had a conversation about doggy poo, it was great.

This is how pathetic Goby was afterwards. It was fun though! We were pretty much the ONLY people/dogs there and even though it was horribly hot it was fun. Goby was much more well behaved then I thought he would be(that my be because of the heat though... :/ ) But in all seriousness it's amazing how much the heat can drain you, we are both just lazing around!

Well, I've got to get some dishes done! Hope your day was exciting!

Day Three

So far so good.

I am working on getting the list of recipes that I will be trying, this also helps me with #88(Redo my recipe notebook). There are a ton of recipes in there that I have yet to try, which is pretty sad. It's pretty sad that most of my recipes I have yet to try. There are also a few that I'm going to be trying from other sites and other books that I have. I'm really hoping this will rejuvenate my love of cooking, but then again maybe one of these mats might help. I am actually day dreaming about having one by the sink for doing dishes, it would be so much nicer.

On a quick side note! I just got a call from a friend of mine who is starting her massage business up! I won't mention any names yet, but I am so excited for her and her husband! Can't wait for the grand opening parties! Yes parties, one for just friends I believe and the other for the public!

Well last night I had a great time catching up with my friend Nicole. We have a great friendship and are almost exactly alike we just go months before we catch up again. Hopefully we can work on getting better at that. :) See our problem is that we talk about everything for hours. We got to Olive Garden at about 730, seated about 745 and didn't leave until after 1010. Well we exited the restaurant at like 10:03. They close at 10.

Mainly on my agenda for the day is getting things planned and researched for the 101. Other than that I've got house cleaning. Not so fun but it's better than a stinky dirty icky house. Besides a wife and/or husband should be proud of their home. One thing I am not proud of is my garden. As calming as it is for me, it's also really ugly right now. We truly didn't do it right, so next year we are going to be pot planting until we get moved. But then again, we may just live in this house until #5 is completed(buy land and build a house).

Does anyone know the best place to get a camera developed?

Day TWO: I am failing!

Woohoo.. That is actually a pretty sarcastic woohoo if you couldn't tell.

Okay so I am working on getting a tab or something up of my 101, but I really have no idea how to do it! Talking to my brother right now though and hopefully he can help me!

But I am doing great with #30(keep the car clean for two months) but so far not so good with #84(drink three green bottles of water a day, picture to come!). The night is not over though so 84 still has some hope.

Well I am sort of totally stressing out, just found out that Josh can't make it convention in august!! Really not happy about that so I'm trying to find someone or someones to come with me! I am really praying I find some people! Because a nine hour road trip one way by yourself really sucks. I've got some cheap(nice) hotels picked out gas is pretty much planned for and food wouldn't be to big of a deal since the hotels come with breakfast!! I'm pretty excited about GOING, just not going alone! That is the sucky part, as mentioned.

Here are some photos of my 101!:

My camera has been blury lately! Sorry! But there they are. I like having it written down because I can keep it with me and see it more often to keep me motivated and going!

Day one!

So excited that it has officially started!

Well tomorrow you can expect to see the tab I was talking about and much more about the 101! Today has bee prettty good! I lazed around for a while went out side to soak up some sun and write! It was so hot that I was only outside for about 15minutes before I started sweating buckets! I did get some writing done so I'm getting even closer to finishing one of my goals!

I even started helping Josh write his own 101! yippee. By the way if your husband or SO tries to tell you that spraying bellpepper juice on plants will help keep the bugs away...he is RIGHT. BUT it also tries to kill your plants so use your judgement here. Trust me mine will probably get a bit of an ear full when he gets home!

I hope everyone has a great rest of the day! I've got some more cleaning to do..

Sunday Blues

Ugh.
Thats really all I have to say. I didnt go to church this morning, in fact I am siting here in my clothes on the couch watching Leverage. I love that show. But it is not why I didnt go to church this morning. I was really emotional this morning and I cant get my back to stop hurting.well it did stop but not for long.i feel pretty bad for not going, I really cant stand missing church, but I didnt want to be a distraction to those around me. Thats just not fair. So in just a few I am going to the office and finish Genesis.I'll probably read a but into Exodus. (personal goal I set for my self before the 101 was to read the bible before the end of the year).

So I finally finished my 101 in 1001 list.it took a few days but I got it! i even checked out a few other blogs to get some good ideas. I am really excited about this. And am going to work getting a tab up top
A great funny little thing is as hard as it was to make the list at first, now that its over I'm coming up with a few more ideas. But they are things that I can put on my next list! Have any of you made a101 in1001? Did you enjoy it?

Ya know the movie The Change-Up? With Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman? I would LOVE to see it... If it want rated R. But it is. I mean if it didnt have the F word all over it it would probably be a great movie.the previews look hilarious! It bagless me sad that they cant make as true good movie. Everything has to have sex and cussing in it. I really don't see the point.

Well all that house work pretty didnt get done yesterday, except for the mowing. Josh did mowthe front yard. I'm staying home monday to finish up a few things!

Seems I have run out of things to say! So off to the bible I go! Have a great sunday!

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has some fun plans for this weekend! I'm sure they will be a bit more fun than mine! The hubby and i are going to be doing some much needed house work. Well, he'll be doing the much needed work I'll be doing the house work. The yard is craving some attention while the inside is just whispering a few hellos.

So I am going to be starting a 101 in 1001! Excitement?YES! I'll be starting monday, well hopefully Monday. It'll be as soon I finish the list. I think I'm somewhere around 42 or 50. Ugh, I am having some of the worst time selling some wedding dresses! There is one I'm thinking I may use in the future(it's part of my 101) and the other I just really want gone. I mean it's gorgeous See!

I loved the corset back! Still do, I almost wish I would have worn it, but I am really happy with how my moms dress turned out...

Have a great safe weekend!!
