Randomness.....

So when I woke up this morning,

this is what I found "pitched"in the front room....

a freaking tent!

Never a dull moment with Chad....

Thursday is the Big Three 0!!!

Thirty years ago this week my wonderful parents welcomed me into the world.

I've been blessed far beyond anything I deserve.

I have always loved my Birthday. It is my special day....

But this one coming up has been especially hard for me....

God I am turning 30!

Last week I had a major melt down,

sorta like a mid-life or as one of my friends put it a quarter-life crisis!!

I am a failure!!!

I am trying my hardest to pull myself out of this rut and face the inevitable.

THURSDAY

Two days away... and I will be 30 like it or not.

So as I say good-bye to my 20's and hello to my 30's

I'm looking for the silver linings.

Here's what I could come up with.

There is no real rhyme or reason to the list,

just ramblings of a soon to be 30-year-old

SCATTERBRAIN!!!

1. God is still good... and still God!

2. Hopefully all of my stupid young mistakes are out of the way.

3. I have a wonderful boyfriend that I love very much... he would do anything for me!

4. I'm finally at an age where I realize its important to take care of me.

5. I can officially be annoyed at teenagers.

6. I am one year closer to Menopause and the end of periods!

7. I can stop dreading turning 30... It's done!!!

8.I'm a freaking awesome crafter and I will only get better.

9. That nagging self image problem gets a little better every year.

10. I hope that the added years will make it easier to forgive and forget.

11. I am blessed with family and friends who love me even though I am a 30-year-old.

12. I get to share my Birthday with my Grandma (I was born on her Birthday) and my little sister EmiLee was born 9 years later on the 25th of June.

13. I am one year closer to senior citizen's discounts.

14. I can begin to appreciate the saying "age ain't nothing but a number!"

15. I can still pass for 25!!!

16. I am learning to live in the moment and take on one day at a time.

17. I have 10 more years to prepare for 40.

18. I can eat whatever I want for the week... or the month.... or the year.... of my Birthday and use the excuse, "I'm 30! I need comfort food!

19. I have incredible stories and memories from each decade of my life.

20.I can indulge in retail therapy. More so then I did in my 20's!

21. Toys I played with as a kid are retro and back in style. (Care Bears and Transformers to name a few) And yes I did play with Transformers!

22. I am not giving up my juvenile viewing or music listening habits.

23. The maximum heart rate during exercise is now lower.

24. I can go to bed before 10:00pm and blame it on being "old."

25. Another milestone.... I think it is time for tattoo number 4!

26. I understand and accept that nothing is given to you in life, everything is earned.

27. I have master the "f*ck off face" but I am trying to use it less and less!

28. I'm conquering my fear of Trigaphobia... (I actually think this word is made up) It's the fear of turning thirty.

29. I am confident that if I had to, I could change a tire.

30. I have 5 years to plan my Presidential campaign! =)

It is GREAT to be turning 30.... Now if I could just believe it!!!

Basketball is Over! =(

The Dallas Mavs are the NBA Final Champions!!!

They beat the Heat... So happy about that!

King James & D Wade were put in their place.

Not as good as they thought they were!

hahaha

Chad & I are upset though that Basketball is over now.

We have to wait til the fall!

Week From Hell...........

Monday: I was washing the dishes... (with my no traction flip flops on I will never wear the pink ones again) One little tiny drop of water... I slip lays me flat on my as.... butt! I messed up my knee really bad! It has been messed up for years so I just reinjured an old injury.

Tuesday: Wake up with my ears swollen no big deal.... A few hours later hives on my legs and arms.... No big deal it will clear up tomorrow.... Right??? Take a couple Benadryl go to bed!

Wednesday: I wake up looking like this.....

Ok so I still have my teeth and hair but this is pretty much what Chad got to look at all day Wednesday!

Thursday: I get my period enough said about that day.... Knee still hurts and I still look like the picture above!!!

Friday: Looking much better.... Knee feeling much better.... CRAMPS!!!

Saturday: Everything is fine!!!

I have a job interview at 11 today so I am so glad that I don't look like Sloth anymore! I do have pictures of my allergic reaction or whatever the hell happened to me.... But I don't want to end up on Tosh.o or something like that.... So they will remain private!!!

Water for Elephants

Cindy gave me this book for Easter.

I haven't had much time to read.

What with my sisters wedding, and working, and well just... life!

I love reading...

So when I received this book I was so excited to crack the cover a start it.

Let me just say I loved it...

420 pages in one day... yeah I am a little crazy!

But I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

I so want to see the movie now.

Has anyone that reads my Blog seen it

I have heard that the movie isn't as good as the book!

Thank you Cindy you always pick out books that I end up loving!!!

Easter....

What did Chad & I do for Easter???
Absolutely nothing...
Just the way we like it!!!

Happy Late Easter!!!
