For Brad’s vacation, me, Brad and my Mom are loading up and heading out to Georgia to visit my Aunt and Cousin! While It’ll be nice to see them… Mom is moving out there. *sigh* I don’t know how to feel about that. It’ll be hard not being able to see her every now and then. More like once or twice a year.. :/ Can’t afford to make too many trips back and forth to Georgia with gas the way it is.

This trip should be fun! The pool is right across the street from my Aunts apartment so hopefully I’ll get to swim quite a bit! Brads cousin is gonna house sit (and steal our DSL) so lol. Man, today is gonna be CRAZY. After I take my nap, gotta get up and clean the animal cages, tidy up the bathroom + bedroom, put various things away. Wash the remaining dishes that are left in the sink, put away dry dishes. Start to gather things that I’m gonna take with me + clothes, shoes, accessories. Once Brad comes home, we will be BUSY BUSY. Brads cousin should be coming over then so I’ll show him what to do with the animals and such. Need to go pay bills, pick up my medicine refill, go pick up a few things from the store. Come back and pack pack pack. Gonna call Mom at some point and tell her we are wanting to spend the night and leave Saturday morning. Brad needs to go have the oil changed in the truck plus a few other things. Eventually we’ll make our way to my Moms! LOL.

This will be our first road trip where Brad is driving! :grinny: I’m excited for that!!! It’ll be good to go back to Georgia! Haven’t been there since…? Summer after 10th grade? I used to go there every summer! :happy: Should take us anywhere from 4-6 hours, just depends on traffic, etc. Just FYI, I grew up in Georgia so that’s always nice to go back to! I grew up in Marietta, which is where we’re going!!! Hehe.

Last night was interesting! We came home from Brads Moms and Brads friend Alex calls and says that he has some friends of his that he wants us to meet so me and Brad were thinking.. oh boy! I play on Lord of the Rings Online a bit while we wait for them to arrive. Knock knock! Hehe, they were really nice people, really talkative – which I like! They stayed until like 9:40ish, I believe then they had to go.

OOOO do you guys remember Elliot Yamin from American Idol??? OMG I LOVE HIS SONG! “Wait For You” I think it’s great!!!! Elliot has a great voice, I think! If you haven’t seen his video, go to Google Video and type in Elliot Yamin and his video comes up! I’m gonna get Brad to save the video (along with Chris Daughtry videos) to his laptop so I can show Mom when we go over tonight! Heh, I know she’ll enjoy those!!!

Anyhow, I hope everyone has a great weekend and a fabulous 4th of July week!!! We probably won’t be back till a week from today (next Friday) so enjoy and take care!!!!!!!

This weekend turned out to be a great one! Brad has been in such a good mood lately and I hope that continues!

Saturday, Brads friend Alex called and wanted to get together and do something so we decided to GO BOWLING! Hehehe. So me, Brad, Alex, James and Alexs g/f Amanda all loaded up and headed almost an hour out to the bowling alley! Heh, finally got my first time bowling! First, we went into the pool room and everyone played a game of pool but I didn’t coz I’m not really a big fan of pool. I just sat and watched then once everyone was done, we went to go pay for 2 games of bowling! James (Brads cousin) doesn’t like to bowl so he stayed and played pool.

We payed for our games then got our bowling shoes! So fashionable, LOL. Alex and his g/f kicked mine and Brads butts! Brad lost the first game, I lost the 2nd lol. And every time I’d roll the ball, I’d catch my right thumb nail, OUCH! I don’t have much of a nail left! I was really nervous about throwing the ball at first haha. Towards the end all I kept getting was gutterballs. Still had a blast though!!! After we were done with our 2 games, we all loaded back up and headed to TACO BELL. Man, was it delicious. We were all stuffed! I even had some to bring home with me and Brad had 1 burrito to bring home, too. Gah, I love Taco Bell. ESPICALLY the burritos. After that, came back to our apartment where we all just hung out and talked for a bit then Alex and his g/f left. James spent the weekend with us, like he has been for the last few weeks. But DAMMIT, I FORGOT about my shows (The Dead Zone + The 4400) last night so I MISSED THEM! Thank goodness for the online 2 minute replays!!! UGH that pisses me off that I just forgot!

Welp, this is Brads last week of work before his week long vacation! I’m so excited! We’re trying to see If we can make a trip to GULF SHORES beach!!! OMG OMG OMG I would love it but we don’t know If we can afford it! But I’ve been trying to research and see what I can find out. I HOPE we can go.. gah that would be SO WONDERFUL! I was reading about condo info and the condos look LOVELY. That would be such a dream to just go relax and swim swim swim. If we can’t afford it I would atleast like to go spend a lot of time somewhere swimming so I dunno. I’ve never been to a REAL beach before or to the ocean so I would love to go!

Anyhow, It’s about time for my late lunch YUM! Have a great Monday! =)

It’s such a lovely day outside – hot but lovely none the less. I SO want to go swimming again!!! I really wish Brads family had a big swimming pool coz that’s what I would spent most of my time!

Well, good news! Brad finally did get a work partner so things in the work department for him have eased up a bit. I can definetly tell! He’s not as tired when he gets home now and he’s more himself. Which is so so wonderful! He’s been worrying about money now but I told him people always have money problems, just not to worry about it so much coz It’ll only hurt his health!

Not sure what we’re gonna do this weekend but UGH I want to swiiiiiim! I cleaned up the apartment real good today and that made me feel way good too. I feel like I need to do more but I may at some point. Brad only has ONE more week of work and then he’ll have a whole week of vacation! Can’t wait wait wait! I can tell Brad is in a better mood – I go with him after he gets off work on Fridays (today) to pay a few bills and on the way back home we stopped by a food place and both got a jumbo drink and ice cream!! Heheh. Was a nice little treat! :grinny: I’m so glad his work has eased up a bit on him. I was really praying for it!

I am just itching to go do SOMETHING outside! I don’t wanna just sit out there.. wanna go for a walk or play badminton or go swim or some activity! Anyhow, hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!!!

:happy: :grinny:

I’m eating apples and fruit dip at the moment :grinny:

Well, well. A week since I last updated, lol. I actually have a few things to update about!!!
Friday, I went with Brads Mom, youngest sister and Stepdad. Got to go and get my social security name changed FINALLY! Now I just need to get an ID and permit so I can legally practice driving.
I was gone Friday from 8AM till after 2PM without a nap so I was SO tired. I usually take a nap because I go to bed so late. Had a nice time out though! We ate at Pizza Hut for lunch!

Brads cousin stayed over this weekend and Saturday I wanted to go SWIMMING! Got everything ready and packed in the car. Got almost there and It started to rain haha but the sun was still shining. Rain stopped and we got out of the car and went to get our “tickets” It’s $3 for each person. Man… the water is LOW LOW LOW. It was pitiful! They have a yellow tube marker that’s usually used for a sign of water deepness, HA! You could stand at it this time! So we went out past the marker since the main part was so DIRTY. Saw some turtles pop their head up out of the water! Had a pretty good time EXCEPT there was NO SUN. BOOOO!!!!!! I wanted to try to get a tan. UGH.

Well, when we were getting ready to leave I was trying to decide on something to eat for dinner and people around us were making GRILLED food so I wanted that! Well, Brads cousin has a grill but he didn’t want to have to bring it in his car coz It would get his car dirty soooo. We left the swimming hole to come back home to decide what we were gonna do. Brad went and changed his clothes then we went to Piggly Wiggly and Brad called his Mom and she said that Brads Grandparents have an grill but it’s not moveable. We said that’s fine and they said we could use it! We bought some hamburger meat, hotdogs and drinks. Loaded up and went over there – It was okay. Food was yummmmmy! We didn’t come home until 11pm. Rest of the weekend was just spent playing Lord of the Rings Online! Can’t believe It’s almost July! Brad’s last day of work is the 29th then he’ll have a whole week vacation! We’re either going to a beach or might be going to Georgia, I dunno yet. I just want to swim and get a tan! A whole week of swimming would be lovely! Alright, well, I’m gonna finish my apples and go feed/water my animals then see about working ChaCha a bit!

Have a great Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend didn’t turn out the way I really wanted it to but that’s okay.

Friday night me, Brad and his cousin went to the mall since his cousin wanted to look for something. I went and got my eyebrows done – finally!!! :grinny: Then we walked around a little more before heading out. Decided to go eat out at the CHINESE BUFFET! Heck yes! I hadn’t had chinese since our little chinese restaurant here in town went to HELL. I ate so much shrimp, lol. It was so delicious though. They had COCONUT shrimp.. oh man. I ate until I couldn’t anymore then I still wanted to eat the rest!!! OH and they had sweet mushrooms that were SO AWESOMELY GOOD. After we were done eating, they wanted to go to Wal-Mart right quick so they went in and I just stayed in the car since I didn’t feel like walking anymore plus I was too full haha. After they were done in Wally World we headed home. It was 11pm when we got home and they wanted to go to Brad’s Moms house to use Brads Stepdads drill coz they were trying to get some batteries to fit in a flashlight. Went over there and I think it was almost 1AM when we finally came home for good.

Saturday was the day we had all planned to go bowling and such. Well, PMS decided to show up for me leaving me NOT in the chipper mood. I knew everyone was gonna be all happy and I knew I just wouldn’t be. And Brad would probably stand there and ask me every 5 minutes “Are you okay?” So I thought It would be best If I didn’t go BUT I WANTED TO GO so badly! Ugh. STUPID PMS. Brads friend came over about 5 and Brad, Kenny and Brad’s cousin James left. I didn’t really do much… talked to Mom on the phone for a few hours. They didn’t get home until after 1AM!!! Brad did buy me a book – thought It was sweet of him. He got me “The Unofficial Guide To Getting Pregnant” Heh. Even though I don’t EVEN wanna look at it right now. Sometimes I just feel hopeless but I’m trying to hold on. I know It will happen, It’s just.. ugh. So of course Brad was talking about how GOOD of a time they had and smiling.. which only made me feel more upset. I’ve been mostly laying around the remainder of the weekend.

Yesterday me, Brad and his cousin all went grocery shopping. Got everything we wanted to get and I was trying to pick out something to eat for dinner for me for last night. Could NOT find ANYTHING I wanted. We looked and looked. It was pissing me off… nothing sounded good. Not to mention I’d felt sick at my stomach yesterday (and a little today too) so I finally decided to try some little steaks. Came home and I was so tired so I went and took a nap. I was OUT. I finally woke up and Brad was cooking my steaks! :love: He said, “Hey, I was gonna surprise you!” Hehehe. They were yummy little steaks and I also cooked some whole corn with it. And the rest of Sunday drifted away now here we are, Monday!

We were supposed to go hang out with some friends yesterday but the husband had to work so maybe we can get together sometime real soon. Ugh.. I had better go eat my late lunch, I’m starting to feel sick. ALSO, I’m starting to drop a slight pound or 2 since I picked back up on my exercising! I’m gonna exercise Tuesday – Friday of this week! :loopy: Man I can’t wait to lose 10 more pounds then I’ll be getting closer to the 50 pounds lost mark, WOO! Have a great rest of the day!!!!!!

Why is it whenever I take my nap in the morning I always wind up having bad dreams? I wake up thinking what the heck?? I don’t think it helps that EVERY. MORNING we have stupid sales people call at like 10AM. Annoying.

I’m really trying to blog more. I really would like to start doing some of the paid-for-blogging sites but I need to get money stuff situated first. Need to change my name on my social security card plus get an ID card. Then all I’ll need to do is get a bank account and let the money begin to pile in! I have an online banking account for ChaCha but it’s pretty much for ChaCha only. I wouldn’t mind being a crazy blogger with posting lots of sponsered posts and such!

As far as Brad’s work situation.. he’s been looking into other jobs. He also talked to his boss at work and his Boss said he’ll see what he can do so maybe.. just maybe. Ugh. I really really do hope so for Brad’s sake.

I know I’ve had this layout up for a while and I’m finally started to brainstorm for a summer layout. I think I’m gonna use the same people in the header image hehe. But different colors and different patterns and such. I love this little wordpress theme. I’d like to use a LITTLE bit bigger font but I don’t know which.

Oh! We have a FULL weekend this weekend! Going BOWLING with some of Brad’s friends – we both have never been bowling so It should be interesting, lol. :happy: Umm then Sunday we’re supposed to meet up with some friends who we haven’t seen in months and months. I think we’re gonna meet up in the town where Mom lives and If so, we’ll get to see her too!! Which I know would make her extra happy!!!

One last thing.. did anyone watch America’s Got Talent Tuesday night? I have to say.. UM. It just wasn’t that great? None of the acts were really. Maybe 1 or 2 acts kindof got my attention. ESPICALLY the last guy with the saxaphone LOL!! He was hilarious!! And I’m glad that Sharon is here this season! Not sure how I feel about Jerry Springer being the new host though.

Well, hubby should be home soon soooo *waves*

I’m slacking on the blogging again. Haha.

Well, Brad’s job is just ruining him – his back, arms, knees, wrists, hands. Plus he is never happy anymore, always down even though he tries to be in high spirits around me. His job always has him angry, upset, stressed, frustrated and he comes home EVERY DAY exhausted. His way of dealing with his anger from work @ home is to act a little immature and crazy. I can definetly tell when he’s trying to handle the anger from his job by the way he acts. I was trying to be positive yesterday to him about another job but he just snapped on me. Last night we talked it out and I dunno, I just want him to be happy again. It’s really affecting us both because when he’s not happy, I’m not happy either. He said he’d talk to his boss about cutting down some on his workload, he says they are just giving him way way way too much work. I really pray his boss listens to him and gets someone to help him!! Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me so angry that they can’t atleast give him a partner to help him out! His boss has been “PROMISING” him a partner for a while now but did he ever? Did he ever got through with that? NOPE! Of course that just really upsets Brad…

Speaking of slacking, I have really been slacking on my exercise. I don’t think I’ve exercised in about a month.. which is bad but I’ve stayed the same weight. Yesterday I did exercise though and I plan to today as well. I’d like to get back into doing it maybe 6/7 days a week and keep going with it and I know I’ll lose lots more weight but gosh stuff always comes up – I get sick, PMS sometimes has me eating more + feeling lazy and not wanting to exercise so I’m gonna try my best. I really want to lose more weight!

Brad also has been stressing about our bills and such. We only have a few bills but my gosh, they add up to a lot! I don’t know what we could eliminate besides our cellphone bill but then I couldn’t call my Mom since we don’t have long distance on our home phone but I guess If we got rid of our cellphones we’d have to turn on long distance coz I have to talk to my Mommy!!!! I suppose we could buy a little less and cheaper groceries but we only get what we need! Ugh, I hate money and bills but don’t we all. UGH.

I just want us to be happy.

Hello June! :grinny: Sure does FEEL like it outside as far as the weather goes! Hot hot!!! Just about 90 out there right now and cloudy – we might get a SLIGHT shower. Slight.

Thank you all for the comments on my last entry! Well, since Brad was off Monday this week seemed to go by a bit faster and now here it is Friday!! WOO! I’ve finished the cleaning for Friday so now I can play lots of Lord of the Rings Online!!!!! I’m almost level 35 and when I reach that I can get a horsie!!!! Can’t wait then I can travel a LOT faster all around! Hehehe. I love that game, lol. It’s so much fun and you get to interact with so many different people! Each map I go to I meet a whole new set of people and then some I already know and get to hang out with more It’s awesome!

Don’t really have much news from this week.. can’t say much happened lol. Brad’s cousin James has been staying with us off and on these last few days because his girlfriend broke up with him and he’s having a hard time right now so It’s nice to have some company over!!!!! Hehehe.

What are you guys doing this weekend? We need to go see my Mom again sometime soon – haven’t been to her house in a while. Man I want to go swimming!!!! Speaking of swimming and my ear.. I’m all done with my antibiotic so now I just have to keep my ear as dry as possible so It doesn’t happen again so maybe in like 2 weeks or so we can see about going swimming coz I really want to!!!

Umm well this post was pretty boring lol. I’m gonna go log into Lord of the Rings Online now! Have a great Friday night!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
