Whats with the "happy days"?

All our "happy days" turn to shit ... my dad died on my grannys birthday a few years ago - and today (Thanksgiving) Matts grandpa died.

I had looked forward to today all week, it is my only day off and all I could think of was sleeping in this morning. I feel like a dumbass that the sound of the phone ringing at 6 AM sent me into a quiet rage of thinking "Who the hell is waking me up on Thanksgiving!" then before I could even fully open my eyes I thought "Oh no." I knew in the bottom of my heart that something bad was about to be told to me... I knew it wasn't a good thing for the phone to be ringing that early on a holiday. Sure enough, it was my father in law Mike calling to give us the bad news. Suddenly, I would give up sleeping in forever if we could just share a good laugh with Paul one last time.

His best days had past quite a while ago as he had slowly been getting worse. Recently he had suffered a few minor strokes, and I will echo everyone else in saying "He's in a better place, he's not suffering anymore" but that doesnt make it sting any less and we all know that we are never ready to get that phone call. All I can say is that he was an awesome grandpa- he lived a good long life and he will be missed greatly. The first time I met Paul he was chomping at the bit for Matt and Marisa to throw the frisbee with him in the yard. He was old fashioned and he liked to live his life that way. He loved little puzzles , you know , the ones that drive me crazy. He was tickled when Matt shot the big buck out in their garden... he liked watching the deer in the backyard and he would call to tell Matt about them. He reminded me a lot of my grandpa... and I will miss him a lot.

You know what bugs me?

Ok Everything. I am just grumpy. But something that really bugs me? Is music on blogs. I'm sorry, I dont think its a good place for a music player. I personally? Cant read and listen to music... so if you want people to read your blog, you should probably shut up with the music. This is not aimed at any one blog imparticular , and actually- I dont "frequent" any blogs that have this problem... but I just happened upon one and it pissed me off. Maybe it had to do with the fact that my speakers were up too high, and the music was stupid.


Seriously? imparticular is not a word? KATE! HELP ME.

Happy Pumpkin Day!

Here they are folks... Matts first pumpkin! His is the face one... and mine is the awesome skull one (That he eff'd up and knocked one of its teeth out ... but its ok - he was "helping")



They are kind of hard to see because of the flash, but trust me , they are great.

Just blabber

Well I figured I should post ... since I am going crazy here and Slug seems like he's tired of talking to me.

Why is it that people are so rude? I guess maybe I was raised different ... but within the past few days I have encountered more rude people than you could imagine! The one that really sticks out in my mind is a customer at walgreens... we were both there to pick up prescriptions and she was just snotty beyond all means. She was rude to the woman at the counter , she sat there huffing and making snide remarks the entire time. I apologized to the poor cashier it made me feel so bad! I said "I'm sorry that woman was so rude to you, I hope you have a nice afternoon" I just wanted her to know that other people noticed how she was being treated!

Ok enough with the bitching I guess.

I am a deer season widow this week... the original plan was for me to go hunting with Matt for a few days .. but I just wasnt feeling up to it. Granny isnt feeling good , she has gout in her toe, and I kind of hate to be over an hour away from her if she needed something. So instead I'm going to do some deep cleaning ... and mope around the house for a while. I think it will be good to have a few days to myself to just do whatever I want. Even though I already miss my hubby! Its so odd sleeping without him... and I woke up cold this morning! I guess I have been secretely depending on his body heat and didnt know it. LOL ...

So no sleeping in tomorrow! I have the biggest best job interview ever. I am so excited about it and I'm hoping it goes well. Everyone wish me luck and cross your fingers. I've been trying to "study" interview questions on google... but really ... how prepared can I be? I just need to be calm and honest. I have all the qualifications, not to mention a kick ass personality... How could they deny me?

Apparently I'm living in the wrong decade.

Ugh, lines!

I hate lines. Not that I'm impatient , the waiting isn't the bad part ... its the people!
The other day at work I was minding my own business waiting in the waffle line ... and some lady just stepped right in front of me to talk to another woman that was in front of me! I thought they would chat and she would leave , but no .. she ordered! GRRR! How freaking rude? Then she proceeded to follow me to the checkout where I got in line first , so she stood behind me singing and dancing around (I.am.not.kidding.) and she was flailing her arms so much that she hit me! I just stood there clenched my teeth , paid for my waffle and left.

So today , I am in line at the post office ... and the woman behind me just keeps getting closer and closer ... I hate that! The line is NOT moving , I am at the front of the line ... and when its my turn? I'm going to move ... but until then, keep your freaking distance! Maybe my personal space bubble is bigger than others , but when I can feel someone breathing on me .. thats too close!

Yay Easter!

Hello and happy Easter everyone!

I guess this is officially my first Easter as an adult ... even though I'm 23. When I was little ... many , many years ago ... we would gather around with family , eat a ton of delicious food and hunt easter eggs. Then when I got too old to hunt eggs , I would watch my little cousins and nephew hunt eggs .... well this year is a little different... We decided to stay home and cook our own dinner. It turned out really good , we had the usual , ham , cheesy taters, rolls, corn, and deviled eggs. Made me feel kind of old to not be involved in any of the usual festivities but we will have plenty of time for that when we decide to have children of our own. I guess we could have let Slug hunt Easter eggs , but seeing as how he eats anything he finds , that is not a good idea. Speaking of eating anything he finds , he had some packing peanuts this morning , so maybe he would have been too full for eggs anyway.

This weekend just flew by ... we saw a lot of friends that we havent seen in a long time ... and the growing trend with all of them is they are all pregnant , or just recently had babies! So of course we got bombarded with THE question "When are you going to have a baby?" ... Well to answer that for everyone, we dont know. So stop asking. :)
I was even asked "So you're not even trying right now?" which I thought was a little on the rude side... who says that we even have to have babies? We fully plan on it , but it seems like since I'm not "knocked up" or even trying ... then I must have the plague or something ... I'm ONLY 23 ...even though I feel like I'm 40 , I'm not ... I'm still relatively young... I don't think my "clock" is ticking just yet .... Geez people.

Anyway ... Happy Easter! I hope everyone has a marvelous day today and an even better week to come! As for me , I will be working my tail off ....

Oh yeah I almost forgot...

Why does the Easter Bunny hide all his eggs?


Because he doesn't want people to know he's been screwing a chicken!


HAHAHA (Thanks for that one Meg!)

What a rip off!

I dont know if anyone is familiar with Who-Cakes .... so if not ... you can learn all about them at Ihop.com ... They are Horton Hears a Who inspired pancakes from Ihop ... When I saw them I thought that it was such a cute idea , of course I wanted to try them. Well we went to Branson Monday night (our nearest Ihop) so I could get the mayors breakfast... The green eggs and ham were great but they brought out my Who Cakes ... and I was so disappointed! I guess they thought since I'm an adult I didn't need the full experience ... so they left off most of the syrup stuff and they didn't put the chocolate chips on them! It was sad ...but I figured I better spread the word that the who-cakes are not all they are cracked up to be ... We wished we had went to the Olive Garden instead ... like two normal adults.

Where is everyone?

I keep up with four blogs ... I check them almost daily ... and no one is posting! Is there a blogging strike? C'mon people!

Other than that it is cold and icy ... and I can not tell you how thankful I am to have a sweet caring hubby that drops me off at work everyday so I don't have to brave the parking lot.

The only thing making me want to sleep in lately is germs. I think I need medication or something ... I will watch people at work and I get so grossed out... they will wipe their nose and then walk right past the hand sanitizer and touch something that all the rest of us have to use! I walk around with alcohol all day disinfecting everything I can get my hands on. I thought grown ups knew all about spreading germs but I guess some of them are disgusting and just don't care! Wash your hands people!

I agree!

Thats right I am posting again.

I just have to say , Sarah you are not alone. We are so broke its crazy! It seems like everything that could go wrong has ... every time we get ahead , something else bites us in the ass! I never get to buy or do anything fun anymore and it sucks. I just wanted to let you know that even though I am a million miles away, I still know exactly how you feel!

Yuck.

Well it wont be long and we will be leaving for Florida... (Ok its not until June , but I like to plan ahead) .... Time seems to be flying by us ... we've almost been married for a year! We are very excited about our trip to FL but I would like to knock off a few pounds before then... Anyone got any tips? I don't mind the whole less food and more exercise thing ... but its hard to find healthy stuff thats easy to cook...

I wish I blogged more!

Its really sad that I think of things to blog about while I'm at work ... and then I don't remember them when I get home. I am so confused because I worked all weekend, so today is my Friday. But for anyone else, its Monday. Did I mention I hate working weekends? Who am I kidding? I hate working during the week too.

If you haven't seen Walk Hard, then you should go see it! Well ... if you are not easily offended. Its not one for the kiddos (It shows nekkid man parts!). A lot of people are calling it a "spoof" of Walk the Line ... but I didn't really feel like they were making fun of Johnny Cash... it was just a wildly inappropriate comedy. Matt really got a kick out of it.

If you know me , you are probably thinking , what the hell was she doing at the movies? I hate going to the movies usually. I just kind of cant stand going into public at all... But we decided we are going to have a date night once a month. Cheesy huh? :)

Our date night for December didn't turn out exactly as Matt had planned, he had to work late, and I had an awful cold. We ended up eating dinner at home instead of going out , and then we caught the 5:30 show of Walk Hard so that I could get in bed early. It was still lots of fun to just spend quality time with my hubby.
