I Could Go For A Snooze

Right now I feel like I could go to bed as though it's 10 o'clock at night. It is actually about to be 4 so this won't do. Especially since I am at work. I have to get through today then I get the next 2 days off. I am so ready for my mini vacay. Sleeping in sounds wonderful at the moment. But I will make it just watch.

This morning I had thangs to do, specifically clean the house. I make a point to clean on days that I work because I don't wanna be doin that stuff on my days off ya know what I mean. So I got to it in our bathroom (where does all the hair come from o.O) and kitchen mainly. I even woke up early enough to make breakfast :)

Jer was at the store asking me on the phone if we needed anything. He wanted to get fancy this time and get 'special' eggs. I have no qualms with how different eggs taste. They are all the same to me. But he got these:

Pretty brown eggs :). I can't remember the last time I cracked open a brown egg. I guess they are better for you....or worse I don't know. Either way I was a bit too excited about them. So Jer made those up and I fixed a LOT of bacon. Even with our plates piled high from the first round of food there was not a slice of bacon left lol. I'd say breakfast well done :)

Charlie was being extremely lazy this morning, following me in every room only to find a patch of sun shining on the floor and curling up in it every time. I hated to keep leaving to do things because his ears pick up every freaking noise, and where ever I go he goes. I am just glad he wasn't freaking out over the broom when I swept. He absolutely hates the broom, and the vacuum of course. 

Guess I will catch up on this later. I am watching the olympics at work right now kind of but I really wanna just see the gymnastic part of it. I keep getting things like water polo and volleyball. Maybe it will come on today...

That really took me back, and I realize after about 15 questions I was over it lol. Why did I do those all the time back then? The younger me musta been booored!

Did I mention I had a diaper cake mishap? It actually fell apart (insert tears here). I was so freaking sad and definitely determined to get a stapler because it was obvious my ghetto-fied scotch tape wasn't gonna do it with that ribbon. The front of the cake is cute so who would guess that the back was a mass of tape and rubber bands lol. I tried sliding it across the table so we could have dinner and boom, disaster. Lucky me it was an easy fix. I stapled the ribbon together nice and tight and wala! I am a happy chick.

That's all for now. I am pooped from working at the nursing home all day. Those elderly people have needs like no other. I don't want to get old but it is inevitable I hear lol. I am gonna go watch a lil youtube...oh and work my actual job cuz that's where I am now ha! 

Holy Crap It's Friday!!

So Charlie is getting pretty good with the housebreaking I guess. I brag about him not going in the house for more than a few days hoping I don't jinx it. Now he sleeps with us at night. At least for the past 3 nights he has. I put him in his cage halfway through though just in case because I don't fully trust him yet. Jer has 100% confidence in him though so he let him run wild and free in our bedroom while he went to Dallas and I went to get my locks done this morning. Of course I was back first and after 3 and a half hours I was sure the room was going to look horrible. I opened our room door to find charlie buried in Jers covers on the bed looking straight up from what looked like a nap lol. He is so freaking lazy. This chick was very happy there was no mess to clean up! I guess he can be trusted after all.

I mentioned my baby fever being back in full swing on facebook and so I have been on the internet looking at all the things I wish I could get the bestie and sis, and dreaming of the future for me and Jer (of course). I am super interested in the trimesters and the changes you go through so I looked up pregnancy vlogs and found this one chick that is due in septemeber:

Anna Saccone (thestylediet) is my new addiction at the moment. She is going week by week starting with week 8 and I have been working my way down the list for about a day. Lucky me she also does tons of makeup videos which is right up my alley lol. So this has been what I have been indulging in besides studying for my CNA test which is looming ever closer.

I will forever be stuck on wanting a baby until I have one I guess. Somebody told me that. The only way to cure baby fever is to have one lol. I am hoping after the showers and births going on in the next couple of months I will settle down with it a little. It's fun to think about though. 

The betty crocker in me is coming out again. I am hell bent of some cheesecake with strawberries on top. I am usually against anything that isn't plain old cheesecake but for some reason I really want some with strawberries! Monday is the day. We will see how it goes.

Speaking of Being A Child

The other day when I took my lil peeps to the park Andrew said something that made me feel old.

Alyssa: Come on Buddy, come with us.
(I'm just sittin on a bench looking like 'what?')
Andrew: Alyssa she is a grown up, she isn't going to play with us

This is coming from the kid that won't call me Aunt cuz I was like 15 when he was born. I am officially an adult to him and it feels so strange. 22 got here way too fast. I actually think about being an adult waay too hard but I am here now and there is no going back to the 90's to relive the good ol days lol.

Speaking of, I found this pic of books that I would love to give to my kids, whenever I get some that is lol:

I read all this when I was little, the scary one freaked me out though (I was in jr high then but who knows, it might freak me out now too ha!) but I will get my kids Scary Stories anyways. They will probably be more fearless like their father (hopefully lol) There are actually a ton of books I'd like to get eventually. For now me and Jer only have adult-ish books. Not the sexy kind lol but I am sure little ones won't be that into the Ellen Hopkins series. (Crank, Glass, and all of those books)

Anywho, today was a good one. Me and Charlie were lazy all morning until I finally pulled myself out of bed for a plate of bacon, which we shared a itty bitty bit. Cuz that's all you need for breakfast honestly. Sis came over for an hour and when Jer got home we watched a movie until it was time for me to come to work. Guess who hasn't peed in the house for 3 days!!? Yep we hit a set back not to long ago but I am celebrating anyways because me not having to clean up doggie doo in the house is amazingly refreshing lol.

There he is with me lazying in the bed lol. One of his ears is always floppy when he wakes up in the morning. Oh how I wish they would stay that way. But I love him anyways, antennae and all lol.

When I Was Your Age

I remember being a little naive kid that just wanted to play play play. Who had time for boys when all of your homies were playing red rover or hide and seek. I didn't have a care in the world for boys when I was 7, so I thought it was super cute and funny when my little nephew called Alyssa his girlfriend. Does he even know what that really means? lol I am going to guess he knows a smidgen but being a bf/gf is way different when you are that young, lemme tell ya lol.

They met each other during my wedding since she was my flower girl and he was the ring bearer. I didn't see much of them except for when they danced together a little. Who knew that would be all it took for them to like each other. Andrew ended up asking for her phone number the next time I had seen him and they wrote letters back and forth to each other (omg who knew people still wrote through the postal service lol)

The other day I got a call from one of my nieces that lives here and she told me he was down for a visit and the first thing he asked was to see Alyssa O.O. Of course I would let them see each other, I thought it was the sweetest thing lol.

There are the love birds, just haangin out. We agreed no smooching or funny business, or rather her dad told her no smooching or funny biz. No skirts or dresses either according to Pops lol. They were good little ones though, playing ds and taking pics of each other ha!

Then since and hour just wasn't long enough, you should have seen the eyes on those two when I had to seperate em, I picked them both up the next morning for a trip to the park. They were ecstatic.

I could not keep up with either of them they ran so freaking much.

 But its cool, I just sat at a table with Charlie, his first time at the park yay. So while Charlie dug his head in dirt (eew) Alyssa and Drew played multiple games for an hour. To be honest it was tough to just sit there while they played. I am super thankful for cellphones and the app market, I was bored! This is what adults go through for their little ones to have a good time at the park. Who knew.

I wonder if these kids have any idea what cooties are lol. I did when I was little but it seems that has gone completely out the window for these two. It's cool though, Alyssa actually made a face when I told her she better not be kissing on him. It is obviously gross and I should've known better.

That was my fun couple of days, now its back to real life (work mainly). Oh Jer and I took a trip to Dallas last night and made it back before midnight. Jerman was our driver and Nicole sat with me in the back, what did we do up there in the middle of the night? Absolutely nothing! We stopped at a 7-eleven and I got a thick hotdog....that was it. I was out on our way back too. Shortest visit I have ever made to DTown by far.

So I'm Not An Electrician

Who knew that there were intricate type things to think about when using a window unit. I am super glad we got one to cool off our hot-box of a house but someone could have warned me.

What went down was me deciding to wash my hair before work, and since air drying was not an option in my hour and a half window of time, I grabbed my hair dryer ready to get things done. Didn't think the power would go out but 30 seconds of me using my hair tool caused the half of the house I was on to go completely dark...oops.

I stood there like an idiot not knowing what to do. Usually when the lights go out it is from a storm and they come back on themselves. I didn't even know where the breaker box was, so Jer came to the rescue. Lucky him, the power didn't shut down in the living room because he was in the middle of some new 360 game and I know I would've never heard the end of it o.O. All is well and fixed though, and thankfully I got to finish my nappy head before going to work.

I know I said I was back on the daily. And I am, but the day I said that I lost my power cord to my computer! I was pretty upset about that until I reached into my purse for my wallet the next day and felt the power cord at the bottom. Thats when I felt kind of ridiculous for not checking there lol.

It is in the middle of the night right now and I am only awake because of work. Yep I am stuck here until 7 in the morning. Night shift really throws off my comprehension of what day of the week it is. When I talk to peeps I have to think before I say the wrong day. I bees throwed off yo lol. Today is the last one for a week I hope. Back to afternoons I go.

Just to update you, my CNA class is almost over (as is the summer for school term peeps) so my test is just around the corner. Wish me luck that I pass but I am pretty confident on this one. I just have to focus and not be so nervous. I got it fo sho. Charlie is done with the vet for a whole year so I won't know his weight for a while. I think he has hit the 4-5 lb mark :) but I will post it as soon as I find out. I get so excited when our baby gets bigger and bigger. All my prego peeps are getting showy and nearing their due dates fast. There are gonna be quite a few new little faces to smile at soon and I am ready for all of that too. Hmmmm did I forget anything.

Well since my noggin is on snail mode I will just go for now. Tomorrow for sure :)

Put A Little Excitement In your Life

Last night I was up past 3 in the morning playing rock band. I haven't done anything like that in ever! Usually I am out by 1 like a little wimp but this had me wide awake. I believe I told you I can only tolerate playing 360 for an hour maybe more before losing any or all interest. But I was the vocals last night and I could sing my little heart out for hours if I must, though I fail to stay on key. Those song be hard, true story lol, but I was in it to win it with Jer on the drums and Chris on the guitar.

In that game you can make ur band member and everytime I have the opportunity to make myself in any game I always have lighter skin and the smallest clothing on em. Jer and Chris claimed whore status on my avatar but hey its whatev, I thought it was cute lol. It also takes me forever and a day to make somebody, gotta get it just right lol! It was fun though. I can't wait to play again.

Other than gaming with the boys, I have been doing the usual grown up stuff like working and planning shower type things. Only a month to go and tha partys will be started. I got Nicoles present the other day and going halfsies with Kass on Kourts. I can't wait to get it of course lol. It is taking all I have to not blab about both ha.

Oh yea our a/c decided to give up on us in the last couple of days so we had been scrambling for a window unit! Omg is our house a hot box btw. I actually couldn't wait to go to work because it was cooler there. Charlie of course came with me and was the main attraction in the lobby for a couple of days. Everyone thought he was so cute and small. Taking care of him at work wasn't easy though. And guess who won't be doing that again for a WHILE? This chick lol. Thankfully we got all of that takin care of. Hopefully we don't have another problem like that again. Sweeaty was I!

I know it has been awhile but I am back on the daily again so I will see you guys tomorrow :). I am wasting time at work and duty is a callin lol.

Is This The Start Of Hoarding?

Me and Jer are movie crazy peeps. Actually I know alot of people who love movies just as much as I do, but me and Jer spend entirely too much on movies. He buys more than me of course but because of our small addiction we have collected quite a few dvds. This used to be the only thing holding our movies:

Then we decided to save space and do this:











That case if freaking full and it holds over 100 discs. So today I was cleaning a little and decided to find all of the new dvds (and old) and finally put them all in one place. We had them in cabinets and drawers and laying all over the counter from lack of space. So I got very un-creative and did this:

Who hasn't stacked movies like that in their lifetime. I haven't with movies so there they sit in a corner of the house nice and organized into 2 stacks. These aren't even all of them. It kind of stinks too because I am sure we haven't watched at least a third of what we have. Jer bought a ton of new movies the other week and didn't open anything but the big bang theory....now we have 10 more new movies bought yesterday. Our watch list is getting pretty long lol.

Other than stacking and organizing, I have been getting ready for my CNA test. That and blogspot failing me for the past couple of days have kept me from blogging on the daily. But hopefully after school and these baby showers I will have a wee bit more free time. So I will see you guys when I see ya :)

Just To Let You Know

I am sitting here chillin on the couch with our over-sized tv blaring at me, and I am hoping this post won't end up like the last 3 I have attempted to write. When I sit em aside to be a draft I can never get back to them to finish em (dern you blogspot!) so I wont pause-for-a-cause with this one.

Guess who is post-"surgery" and doin fiiine!? Charlie bear, and you wouldn't know he had stitches from the way he runs around and acts a fool all the time. Unfortunately he is no more mellow than he was before the extraction. I was so sure he was gonna be lazy (I was just hoping not too lazy) but losing his balls doesn't seem to be phasing him.

There he is hanging with daddy the day he came home. Yea he stayed over night at the vet just in case he chewed on the stitches and needed a lil cone. So far no chew. We are waiting until the end of the week when he gets to lose the stitches. I can't wait because he thinks its cool to lay across my bare legs and let his stitches scratch me which totally creeps me out bleh.

Other than Charlie losing his manhood, I have been trying new things to cook. I didn't do too bad both times :) the first time was pretty simple with turkey and mashed potatoes. But Sunday I attempted beef tips and gravy and semi-succeeded. I found out that I am not that great at making rice lol. It was soft with tiny crunchy surprises mixed in. Other than that it came out great. Next time I might try a lil seasoning on the meat too. I am plotting our next meal as I type this but I've got to wait until my next afternoon off...not today lol.

I am loving my newest stuffed animal from Jer. One more giraffe to add to the collection. I have a small thing for giraffes. They have been my favorite animal since I was itty bitty and Jer has been getting me stuffed giraffes since the day I told him 'bout em. When we have a kid I know exactly the theme we can use, I have so many giraffes it won't be too hard to get it started lol. This is Alfred, and he is the most colorful one I have. All the others are normal colored, so I was super excited to get this one.

Jer is the sweetest and I love him to death. Which is why I trust him with alot of things, including our rodent problem:

I don't remember if I mention the sudden disappearance of my blazin buffalo and ranch doritos or Jer's cheetos (both family sized and very full o.O) but we found the culprit last night.

This not-so-little guy is the reason there is a hole chewed threw the lid of the peanut butter. I thought it was just a beasty little mouse. This thing looks like it could have been somebodies pet. Jer set out traps with the vandilized peanut butter and we heard them snap last night. When we checked it out the traps were empty and this gigantor mouse was shuddering in a corner with a bloody mouth! Unfortunately he escaped so the hunt continues. I just hope we get him soon, I keep imagining going for my cereal and this guy jumping out at me from the open box! EEW! Let's hope that doesn't happen.

I Just Had To Show You Something

So as I told you before I am horrible at keeping secrets....The cat is officially out of the bag. The very next day aftering saying Kourt would have no eye contact with her diaper creation gifts I made....I showed em to her. I was so freaking excited and she was with me when we went to find different things for the diaper bike I just couldn't resist. She hasn't seen them in real life though. This is the glimpse she got from my phone:

I am sooo proud of them and think they could use improvement at the same time lol. I always think what I make is less than okay but I am going to leave them alone before I mess something up. Mr tiger and the monkey rattle/blanket combo came from toys R us:

He is the kind of stuffed animal with the velcro hands. looved my monkey one when I was little. kinda wish I knew what happened to him....

And she saw me go nuts over these shoes:

Baby shoes are so freakin little, and watch little A not fit those for more than a week or so ha! I still couldn't resist.

I definitely stuck to the theme with the safari brown and blue-ness the best I could. Now to get down to the nitty gritty and get all the essential party stuff together :)

If I Had A Baby

This weekend has been baby this and baby that the whole time, setting me back into my baby feverish ways. I had told Kourt in full confidence that this wouldn't happen! Guess who is laughing in my face now lol. Not really but she did give me a good ol' told ya so.

Here are a few of the things sis registered for at Toys R Us in the baby registry. She scanned so many things and I learned that there are alot of things I didn't know about when it comes to infants. Like the Diaper Genie for instance. Had no idea what that was, only heard the name once or twice.

There it is. The mystery that is the Diaper Genie. Found out it is just a diaper pail that keeps the smell to a minimum with the dirty diapies. That made it on to the registry too lol. They had pacifiers with thermometers on em, and diapers that looked like they were made of jeans (cute!). I was in baby heaven! I bet they have practically the same stuff at wally world but if Babies R Us was closer to us I would shop there for me and Jer's bundle of joy. When that time came around of course. 

Dern this baby fever though. It makes me not want to get involved with the baby stuff. Seperate myself from the crazy so I don't drive Jer nuts with talk about starting a fam and names and how many  we could have and blah blah blah. I could talk about babys all day. They fascinate me when it comes to the growth and development. I think it is amazing all of the complex things that come from one egg and one sperm. How they learn things at such a fast rate and that they look like a mix of mommy and daddy (I dream of how cute our kid could be lol). Look at me now, chit chatting away at how awesome baby's are. 

I am actually taking a break right now from filling out Kourts invites for her baby shower. Got alot left so I will pause for the cause and get back to work on those lol. chao for now. More on my baby madness later.

   

Shhh It's a Secret

Here I am on my day off working on this diaper cake that I keep mentioning in my past posts. I am ecstatic about how it is coming out:

Ha I can't show you what it looks like. Kourt is the lucky one getting my so-called masterpiece and I am trying my hardest to keep what it looks like a secret. Only a couple of peeps have seen it so far and hopefully it stays that way teehee.

One thing about me is I am hoorrible at keeping secrets, especially when they are exciting like this cake for example. When Kourt found out she was preggo my fingers were itching to post on FB I was so excited. She kept me in check on that one. I know it's sad that I can barely keep a secret but I am a pretty open person. I will tell you just about anything if we are close. Everyone that checks in at the hotel usually knows alot about me by the time they leave. It is because I can get waay too chatty. The only thing I don't talk about is where my house is and things like that because I don't need these peeps to get crazy and come find me lol.

So on my days off I have the plan to visit with Kass and plan Kourts safari shower and I can't wait because I haven't seen my bestie in more than a month. Lunch at 11 :). I feel like an adult when I meet my ladies for lunch lol.
