That's just crazy talk!

Sleep… all I want right now is a little more zzz’s. I had a fabulous weekend but I’m exhausted and I wish I could have slept in today to make up for it. But I had to get up at 6:20 and get ready for work! I would give anything on this cold and rainy day to go back home and crawl in bed with Phil and the puppies… doesn’t that sound nice?

The house hunting went quite well on Friday. We had 7 homes scheduled to take a look at and we looked at 6 of them. We pulled up to one of them and decided it was too scary so we didn’t even get out of the car. Anyways, we started in Hammond and we looked at a new home that was built and it had a 2 acre lot. I liked the home but in a few years there would be a lot of neighbors. However, I did talk to our realtor about building one of these homes on part of my dad’s land. Phil wasn’t to keen on that idea though. He would want us to go find our own contractor and have them only build the guts and we would finish the rest. I like that idea, however, that would cost too much because if I were going to build starting from scratch, I would want to make it a home I will want to live in forever. Then we were off to Woodville. We looked at a really cute house a couple miles West of Woodville out in the country. I loved, loved, loved the land!! It was 5 acres of mowed lawn surrounded by trees so you couldn’t see the neighbors down the road. It was very private and very pretty. It was the most ideal type of land I want. The house was really cute too but it was one bedroom too small. It would be big enough for us now but once we had kids we would need to get a bigger house. Then we were off to the next house which was about a mile down the road. This one was my favorite! It had 5 beautiful acres, a huge house, a 2 car garage and a pole barn (Phil’s domain). The house was huge and it would need a lot of work but it is all small things that need to be done with the exception of the kitchen. If we bought the house, we could slowly do the work we want to it, starting with the kitchen. Everything is livable and doesn’t NEED to be redone but we would fix it here and there. So I am very excited to show Phil this house but I’m scared that he won’t like it. I guess we will see! After this house we headed towards the Ellsworth, River Falls area and looked at 3 more houses. I really liked one but I think it is too far out. All in all I had a very good experience with the house hunting this weekend and I’m starting to get excited about it again! Yay!

Saturday was a long, fun day. I started the day off with homework and then proceeded to clean my entire house. I would like to say that my house is now clean but I came home on Sunday and it was a mess again due to Phil… Anyways, after I got the house cleaned I headed over to Jewell’s house and we all left for the hotel in Minneapolis. Once we got there we got situated and then headed down to the pool. We did a little swimming, well, I went in up to my waist and then decided that I would rather sit in the hot sauna and then we went back up to our room and hung out, ate some pizza, and pre-drank. At around 10:30 we headed to Spin. When we got there it was dead but it started to pick up around 11:00 and then all of a sudden the place was packed! Drinks were a dollar until 11:30 so we got a couple of $1 pink panties and then danced the night away. The dance floor was so packed that you could barely move. There were way too many guys and they all wanted a piece of ass. It was disgusting… they were very “grabby”. All I wanted was to have fun dancing with my girls and we had to rub off all these guys all night. But it was a good night and I think we all had a lot of fun! I will put some pictures up later. Sunday we got up and got ready then headed to Perkins for some delicious breakfast. It was sooo good and I ate really, really fast. By the time we got home it was probably around 2:00 and I went straight for the shower. After I showered and started the laundry I took a tiny nap and then watched movies the rest of the night with Phil. We watched Yes Man with Jim Carey and it was just alright. I was expecting more because I like Jim Carey but I think his time is over… Then we watched the third Mummy movie. I forget what it’s called. I thought this movie would be great because the first two were good but I was wrong. It sucked. For one thing, they didn’t even have all of the original actors. Another thing, they didn’t seem to age at all from the last movie to this one and their son aged like 20 years. How is that possible? Anyways, take my advice and don’t see it.

Today I’m tired and I feel like crap because it is the first day of my period. I feel like I need to throw up and I kind of wish I could so I could go home. But I’m going to suck it up and get to work.

I just have to say that I am very excited for tomorrow! I only work half days on Fridays and after work I am meeting my friend Lynsie and she is going to come with me to look at houses!! I really wish Phil could go with me but he has to work so I asked Lynsie if she would like to come. I gave my realtor my top 5 houses out of 12 and we are for sure looking at those. I think he also added a few more in there. I am really hoping that I find one that I like. I have only looked at 4 houses so far and they have all sucked balls. Since I have not found anything to my liking yet I am not having too much fun with this. You would think that there would be a ton of houses to look at since the economy is so bad but there really isn’t. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of houses to look at in town but I don’t want to live in town. No, I take that back… I WILL NOT LIVE IN TOWN! I grew up in the country and I’m going to stay in the country. Anyways, so I’m looking forward to looking at these houses but I’m also scared that they will suck and I’ll be sad once again. I don’t want to be the girl that looks at 50+ houses before she finds the one. You may get the impression that I’m picky but I’m really not! I just want a decent size house in decent condition in the country within 30 miles of Hudson. Is that so much to ask for? Anyways, after my house hunt Phil and I are going on our date night. It is his turn so he gets to pick a restaurant for us to go to. After that we will go home and spend a little time together before I go rollerblading with Jewells. Rollerblading and eating healthier really makes quite a difference! I feel much, much better about my body and I feel healthier and more energetic. I haven’t really lost much weight but I can sure feel a difference.

I am also very excited for Saturday night. I know I already said that on my last post but I’m really, really excited!

I always told myself that I would start a journal so I could record what is going on in my life and I never have. I think I started one a couple times but ended up only writing in it once or twice. It didn’t dawn on me until now that my blog is my journal. Duh… all I talk about is what is going on in my life and that is exactly what a journal is. Except this is even better because I can add pictures too. It is nice to have something to look back on from time to time. I can look back a year from now and see what I was up to. When I was helping my friend clean and organize she found a whole bunch of stuff in her “memories” box and started reminiscing. I don’t think I even have a memory box. I threw out all of my old letters and cards people gave me. Now I regret that. I do however have all of my old photos. From time to time I like to go through my pictures and laugh at how stupid I used to look or who I used be friends with or who I used to date. I kind off got off track here… what I’m saying is that it is nice to have something to look back to. I’m sure a few years from now I will crack up with some of the dilemmas, complaints or stories about my weekends I have written. I guess I better try to stay on top of my blog more than I do then… Anybody have any good ideas for a blog? My life is pretty boring right now so I can't really talk about my day to day life everytime I blog because you would all be bored as hell.. I would have stuff to write about if I got engaged but that hasn't happend yet. I could also write about purchasing my first house but that hasn't happened yet. So, all I have to blog about as of right now is my weekends because that is the only time I seem to have a life. Give me ideas and I will write more!!

Why is that having a 3 and a half day weekend off from work with nothing to do so excellent?! My weekend was quite fabulous! I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. There was no time limit on anything and nothing planned. That doesn’t happen very often, especially in the summer and especially when I have a long weekend off from work. I now get off work at 12:00 on Fridays for the rest of the summer! After work on Friday I went home, did a little homework, did a little cleaning, took a nap and then headed back to Hudson to get Phil. Then I treated him to some Olive Garden. I love Olive Garden but damn it is getting more and more expensive! But I guess it is worth it every so often.

Saturday I slept in as late as I possibly could and I did some more homework, then did some more cleaning then spent the rest of the day with my friend Jewells. We went rollerblading on Saturday and Sunday. It was a good time, I love rollerblading. We sure put on some miles! My legs hate me but they will forgive me when they look more toned. I’m hoping to keep this up and go a couple times a week. It is good exercise!

Sunday I cut Phil’s hair and then cut the dogs hair. Phil was first and that didn’t take long. We decided to buzz it all down. I think he looks like a military man now. :) (Although he hates it when I say that) Then we did Precious and she is easy as pie. We waited to do Vader last…. probably not a good idea. I was already getting tired of cutting hair and he is the most difficult dog in the frickin’ world to cut! After much time and a few meltdowns we finally got him looking decent. He still needs more hair cut but he won’t allow that. So it is good enough for me.

Jewells and I also spent our weekend catching up on our TV shows. We had 12 shows in all to catch up on! 12 shows! That is like 10 hours of TV! We got it down to 2 shows…. the Lost 2 hour finale is the only one left. I was quite disappointed with the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. I won’t talk about it in case some of you haven’t watched it yet but it was good/frustrating/sad and all of the above. I guess only the good finales will leave you feeling frustrated and mad.

Monday Jewells and I went and did a little shopping and I bought 3 dresses, two shirts and a jacket. I basically doubled the amount of dresses I own. Yay for me! I am excited to wear them to work but it is too cold out today. Maybe later in the week. They keep it so damn cold in this joint!!! It only gets warm in here when it is 80+ degrees outside.

Anyways… I missed the rest of my friends this Monday and I hope to see them all this weekend! It is Good Neighbor Days in Roberts. Should be a good time!

So my lunch hour was fun today… I was out on the bluff in Hudson at the park reading my book and minding my own business like I normally do. I usually listen to the radio with the car off while I am eating lunch and then I turn my radio off after I’m done eating and then read my book. Today was just another ordinary day like always except when I went to start my car to head back to work. All I got was click, click, click, click… COOL! I was stranded up on the bluff with a dead battery. I could have knocked on a stranger’s car door and asked for help but I was too scared. So I called work and Joel came to my rescue and jumped my car. :) Thank god it started again!! So after work I have to bring my battery in to Wally World to get it checked and most likely get a new one.
