Developments...

• So I have been going through a lot of crazy moods lately. Last week I went through a creative mood and I am still in that mood kind of. This week I entered a cleaning mood. I spent this morning loading the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen. I was going to bake cookies but see there are no clean mixing bowls because well Ann and her friend Heather made a cake on Monday and used both mixers. I had no desire to wash all the pots and pans though so they are still sitting up there. It is kind of weird. I think I am going to start my next blanket...lol.
• There are a few other developments in life however. I am looking into selling Mary Kay soon. I am waiting to hear from a friend with more details about what is going on and if it is possible to sell from Germany. That is the big kicker...she isn't sure if I can sell in Germany if I'm not a Germany citizen.
• I am also looking into colleges again. I am leaning towards University of Maryland University College...which is on the base Tim is located on. I am waiting to get some financial stuff up to date but then I will decide what school I want to go to for sure. I am really excited about that little detail.
• Lastly, I am about to start the Dave Ramsey program again. I have spent a couple days listening to the Dave Ramsey podcast and we are almost caught up on bills (yes they are my bills). I believe there is only one we need to catch up...and then I will be moving over to Germany. But as soon as this last bill is caught up we will be starting the Dave Ramsey program called the Total Money Make-Over. If you want to get out of debt sooner than you would normally this program is for you. No more credit cards for us EVER!!!! I am sticking to that. I am sick of any money we have going mainly towards debts. I can't wait to be debt free. I have actually been working out budgets for the next couple months...so that we can get this final bill caught up.
• So tomorrow I have to make a few calls and see if I can work out some sort of settlement with First Financial. I also have to make a few other calls. I am really excited to start working on this program and starting baby step 1. I also can't wait to to start classes again and possibly start selling Mary Kay. Well I think that is about all I have for today. Later all...

Excitement...

• So the past couple days have been way crazy. I made my first ever tie fleece blankets yesterday. One for Angel and Josh and their new baby girl and the other for Ava Jayne's b-day/christmas present. I would normal sew a blanket for Angel and Josh but I had the extra fleece and honestly it is faster to do those and they will get it before she's born. I am already what three blankets behind and I don't even have the fabric for Simon's blanket. But once I finish the one for Aubrey I am only two behind. I should finish it today or tomorrow and then I will start Lucas/Matthew's blanket. I need a trip to JoAnn Fabrics though because I need fabric for Simon's blanket and fleece for a blanket for Ben...well at least I think that is what I am doing for Ben's birthday present. At least I am in a really crafty mood lately. It will be easier to finish all of these projects that way.
• I also just pre-ordered Ann and my 3 disc editions of Twilight: New Moon. Target rocks...it is the only store you can find any of the 3 disc editions for Twilight. I didn't go and get the overnight shipping but I think we can wait 3 to 5 days. It usually doesn't take that long unless they run out of copies. So maybe I should have done overnight shipping but we'll deal.
• Also, the latest book in the private series rocked. I read it all last night and finished it a little bit ago. I couldn't put it down just like all of the other books in the series. I am going to maybe start another book if I can get into it called The Season. I got lucky and got into Private book let's see if it last.
• Well I am off to start working on the next blanket. That way I can get to the post office next week and ship everything off that needs to go out. At least that's the goal. Which means I also need to finish copying some movies to get that box sent off to Tim...which means I also need to get his birthday present to send that too. Wow...lots to do this next week too. It's nice to have stuff that needs to be done...lol. And I have no idea what to get Tim for his birthday...should be fun.

Feel your eyes cross as you read this...

This week seems so busy but it hasn't been all that busy. It flew by faster than I could have ever imagined. Monday and Tuesday I spent cleaning and organizing my room. Getting two bookshelves added a lot of space to my room and it's amazing. Wednesday Tam, Ann and I went to Orion Jr. High's book fair where I got some good books. Then we went to Wal-Mart where I got the cutest fleece for a blanket for Ava Jayne for a birthday/christmas present. I didn't see her near either of them so I didn't really think about it till now. I still have to find something for Simon for his first birthday next month. Wow, it has already been almost a year. That's crazy!!! Yesterday was laundry day...with my bedding I had like five loads of laundry...it was crazy. Today I am working on finishing the blanket I have been working on for Aubrey Miller (my cousins daughter) and starting Ava Jayne's fleece. I have never made one of the fleece tie ones but it can't be hard can it? Then if I get those out of the way I am going to start on Matthew/Lucas's blanket. It is actually supposed to be for Lucas but since Lucas took Matthew's it will be for Matthew. Then I have two more too make...one for Simon and one for my cousins Angel and Josh's little girl. Wow...I never realized just how much time I spend doing crafts and stuff. I guess I don't usually spend this much time on crafts and sewing but there are an abnormal amount of people I know having kids this past year. There isn't much else to say besides Gossip Girl and Gilmore Girls are awesome. I just realized I totally went off on a tangent and I don't even know why. I really want to make some cookies but we don't have any chocolate chips worth making them with. I am very picky about stuff like that. Maybe I will look up some recipes online. Who knows what tomorrow brings. Update again soon.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it kind of sucked. I had the worst migraine ever and then Tammy made it worse. I got locked out of my room...Tammy's doing. I spend the rest of the day watching movies...no not horror movies but love stories. Saturday was a pretty good day. The entire family came over and we had a V-Day party. It was fun but loud...hence the migraine yesterday. Oh Tammy and I also went and took the test for a census job at the library. Today everybody went to the environmental center...I still have my migraine...and I have the house mainly to myself. Nick is home but that is about it I think. The last couple days I spent watching movies...well yesterday and today.

• Flicka
• Hannah Montana the Movie
• Julie and Julia
• and I'm currently watching Marley and Me.

I have loved them all. They all have a love theme for Valentine's Day obviously. Flicka and Marley and Me are about love of animals and family. Hannah Montana about the love of family and a place and a passion. Julie and Julia is about the love of cooking which I really enjoyed. I am going to work on reorganizing my room some more today. Babysitting Friday and maybe hanging out with Deb and the kiddo's this weekend.

Crazy...

So I am going to work hard to update this blog at least once a week. So far this week has been kind of crazy. Nothing much happened on Monday (well nothing that I can remember). Tuesday, was slow starting but we had a blast Tuesday night. Maxine, Chelsea and Nick were at an overnight at the environmental center. So the rest of us went out to see The Spy Next Door. It was a good movie...some of the acting was aweful but I would still go see it again. After that we went to Wendy's (Tam and I also went to Taco Bell) for dinner. We made a few other stops before and after that. Tam and I ran into the library before and I picked up my current book Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce. I was going to wait till I got to Germany to read it since I have it there and forgot to grab it before I came back at christmas time. But I couldn't wait anymore so I put it on hold and got it on Tuesday. Yesterday I spent the day watching my two cute little nephews. It was so fun to hang out with them alone. I do prefer being with little kids when there is nobody else around. It is more enjoyable for me. Anyways...most of the time I was there they slept so I got a bit of Bloodhound read. We got home last night and I was tired yet I was up till almost 4 am. I don't know why but I just couldn't fall asleep so I gave up. Today I kind of relaxed. The rest of the week still lays ahead and who knows what will happen. Tonight I will be watching Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural and Vampire Diaries. Eventually I will catch up on House. I only saw like the first six or so episodes of the last season so I haven't even considered watching this season yet. I will also be doing some sewing, writing, reading and cleaning off my hard drive. There is also cleaning and maybe some shopping. Who knows what else? More to come...but for now I'm out.

So I haven't updated my blogs in a while because there hasn't been too much to say. So the last thing I posted about was the wedding back in September. The rest of September was pretty boring...I was sick the last week or so and like two weeks into October. I also did some babysitting for Debbie's munchkins. October...well let's see there was Matthew's baby blessing (oh wait I missed that because I was still sick). So that makes the most interesting thing about October Halloween. This year I went as a zombie cowgirl. The story was that my horse threw me and I smashed my head on a rock. Tammy did some amazing make-up work on me and Andrea. Ann, Manda and I took Lucas and Chelsea around our area so Ann and I got to show off our costumes. It was so much fun. November...well the only major thing I remember about November is Thanksgiving and that wasn't all that major. Just a day of relaxation and fun. I actually fell asleep on Tammy's floor before everybody was gone. Is it sad that, that is the only thing of interest to talk about for November. December...well let's see December is Christmas which I spent in Germany. The flight there was aweful...almost missed my second flight in JFK but it turned out ok because we were delayed by 3 hours because something was wrong with our plane and we had to wait for everything to be switched to a new plane. So I got to Germany at about 1 and didn't get to the base till almost 6. I wanted to crash but had to stay up and eat. Almost the entire first week I was there (Christmas week) I was sick. That includes Christmas day. It wouldn't be the first time. It took some getting used to the Pennsylvania like weather again but it all turned out ok. We went into town a couple times and I got to go to his ward and meet some of the members. January...let's see. I started January still in Germany. Out of the three weeks I was there, there was only one where I did much of anything and that was the middle week because I wasn't sick then. Anyways, I left the 7th to come home and the flight home was no trouble at all. I was so happy to land and come sleep in my own bed. The day after I got back I spent the day with Amanda and Tammy getting ready for Lucas's b-day party. Amanda was nice enough to have it when I got back so that I could be there (his b-day is actually the 7th). What else happened in January...oh right I was diagnosed with asthma. After months of doctor's appointments they finally concluded that I do have asthma. Now we are in February and not much has happened yet. It's only the 6th though so who knows what will come.
