Sometimes I feel...the only boys I need in my life....

I love how people keep me entertained.

The Season is finally Over. About Damn Time. Two Months of Freedom.

I can't wait to spend time with the ones that actually want to see me or fully miss me due to rarely seeing me.

I got to see my Orion the other night. I missed him. I gave his little horse toy to him. It was his Christmas present. He gave me a picture that he colored. I can't believe that he is going to be six in the new year. And I still can't believe that he will be in first grade.

Sometimes I feel like him and Jordan are the only boys I need in my life. The two cutest little boys ever. I can't wait to have kids of my own.

So I bought Angie (roommate) and her son Josh, Beatles Rockband for Christmas the other day. It was the best fun ever, to surprise Angie. Josh was in on it the whole time. I just wanted to give them something special.

Wild Bill, the sweetest man ever. The only thing I ever owe him, is a hug and a kiss on my cheek. Sorry Rob...I knew I should have got you one too. Rob and I were talking about Walking Tacos, and how they sounded so good. We were trying to find out who was working the stand pretty much all day. So my boss comes back with one. And I'm like who is running the stand. He told me my favorite person was running it. So I definitely knew where I was going for dinner break. And so I went down there, and there he was, Wild Bill.

So the final days of SDC season happened to be all about food. LOL!!

I had been determined all week to get a funnel cake with hot fudge on it. So I went to Fancy's and there was a huge line. So I was unsuccessful. Then later that night, while I was closing, my co-worker came up to me with one. It made my night.

First time ever trying pork rinds was today. And Eva & Delilahs sent some delicious treats from their bakery down to us the other day.

The Final Day has been a BitterSweet one.

The New Year is already upon us. Somehow my plans for new years eve got changed. I seem to never be able to say no. Oh well...I just hope that they go the way they are supposed to; now that they got changed. Cause I will be pissed if they don't.

I'm excited about Friday. I really do hope those plans are still on the schedule.

I get the boys on Saturday. And I am taking them with me to Karaoke cause I had already planned on going with Angie. I'm excited for that too.

Then Sunday, Its all about a Road-Trip.

My Week somehow got booked. I never have anything fully planned, I'm always a go with the flow.

That's all I have for now..

Until next time...

A thought went up my mind to-day...

3 More Days of Christmas....YAY!!

I was so happy to see my Kate today. :) She is the best.

Well, went to Karaoke last night. Interesting that was. And of course I like to meet new people so that was a good thing too. Thanks Angie.

I still can't believe that the year is almost over. It has gone by so fast.

I have doubled my time. Its been a blast and hope its not over, cause next year is still in the making for more great times and handfuls of memories and laughs.

The people that I work with amuse me. We had come up with a great idea. I said that since I have to work and you don't, then I'm working over the phone. So they were like okay. we will sit the phone next to a microphone. And you can tell them to drop the money in the box and then tell them where to go to pick up their items. I wish I could have done that, it would have been way better than freezing my ass off.

Then when my co-workers were leaving they got grapes from somebody. And so when one of them was distracted, I went into the bag and pulled out a thing of grapes. I stood there for a minute listening to their conversation and when they got done, I was like anybody want a grape. It took him a minut to figure out it was his. Of course he didn't care, he just laughed about it.

And tonight my boss was awesome. I had come back from my dinner break (which really isnt one especially when the main stand is closed)...and started talking about how I should have went to Buckshots and get a turkey leg. So he was like do you want me to go get you one. I told him, only if he wanted to. So then we got the guests all involved with our conversation. He walked all the way up there and they were out. So then he goes "well, I am going to Polly's to get soup." I told him I wanted potatoes and gravy. I just wanted something warm. So as he is coming back, he gets to my stand, and is standing there with the tray. And knocks over my potatoes and gravy. And as he is walking to the office to put his food away before going to get me more potaoes and gravy, I see that he got a piece of pie for himself. I made the comment; "wait a minute, you never said anything about pie." My boss goes, "you never said you wanted pie." I was only joking with him about the pie, but he surprised me when he brought back potatoes and gravy and a slice of pie for me.

I have the Song All You Need Is Love stuck in my head. All day long. As I sit here right now, I can't even get it out of my head. lol...

I don't know what else to say for tonight.

Until Next Time...

Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

Got my hair cut...lol...Just a couple of inches off.

Didn't do too much today. Mostly running errands. My most important one, was a fun one. Went to a Mall that I had not been to in probably 2 years. But at least they still have my favorite store in it. Cause I would have been sad, if i could not get what I was determined to buy.

Had lunch with my parents.

Cleaned the house up for tomorrow night's gathering.

Then hung out with my brother for a few hours after he got off work.

Then its mostly been watchin a movie or listening to music. Not really much else going on.

1 more full day here...then I am on my way home...yay...

Well that's all that I have for now...

Until Next time..

Its where the heart is.....

Went to the hockey game. One thing I am glad about is that I don't really care for it. I watch it from time to time. But It really isn't my cup of tea.

Spent most of the day in town with my mom. I am not really a big shopper, and she wanted to buy me boots as a gift for Christmas, well, I was rather bored with looking at shoes, so I decided to tell her to save her money for herself.

I was shocked that my brother bought my way into the game, even though I was fully prepared of buying my own ticket. I should have bought a souvenir...LOL...

Illini and Mizzou play tonight...Go Illini....

I can't wait to see the Illini and Gonzaga game.

So the big get together will be on Christmas Eve...Since I will be driving back home Christmas Day...

I'm ready to get back home. I miss home. That statement makes me feel weird.

Of all the shit that has happened this year and in just the last two months...and I miss home...I think I need my head and heart examined. lol...

I've always liked the statement..."Home is Where the Heart Is." It suits me well. And for good reason..lol..

Not quite sure what the plans are for tomorrow...hopefully something good.

Until we meet again....

And when I get out for good behavior....

Well I made it to my destination...

It was a weird start to the day....but I made it stick like glue...lol...

I also made someone giggle @ me, which made my day.

One day down and 3 full days left....

I took a nap @ a walmart for 1 hour...I even shut my phone off, which I seem to never do lately..

I'm excited how this year is going to end. LOL.

Well...

Until We Meet Again...

I Promise You...

I'm so excited. I drive to Illinois in about 8 hours. I can't wait.

I really really wanted a puppy for Christmas. It saddens me.. Oh well...I guess I will have to wait.

5 days left of the season...yay!! I will be free.

So Saturday night was so much fun. I can't wait to do it again. if you want to know more about that...just ask me.

I watched one of the Nascar races that I had missed. I was excited about that.

I was surprised with the most gorgeous gift @ work. It brought tears to my eyes. It was so sweet.

I have pretty much adopted Bella. She nibbles on me, licks me, lays on me, sits on me, kisses me. Too bad she is my roommates puppy.

So I found out that certain people talk about me at work. I kind of expected it last year...but this year, its more of surprise. I haven't figured out if its weird or not.

Well I don't know what else to put.

So until next time....

pretty much....

I think tonight I feel like going dancing...lol...

I am super hyper tonight.

1 more day and I'm on my way.

13,000 crazy people should have stayed home. lol....jk...It was a cold and boring day @ work but well worth it. I had to make so much hot chocolate I thought my arm was going to fall off. We whisk everything by hand, and I'm talking 5 gallon containers...and the water was definitely not cold.

This holiday season is a bit different to me. Of course no one special to share it with like usual, besides friends and family. It took me a lot longer to get into the spririt of it all.

I'm super excited to start having weekends off..I can't wait to have my two favorite little boys with me. I miss them so much...And of course it will give their Mom a break on having to pay a baby-sitter.

I'm also going to have more time to spend with certain people, which is what I have been waiting on, for a really long time.

One thing that saddens me that when I visit my family which is in two days, my puppy buddy wont be there. :(

Anyway.....

Until Next Time...

That you have but slumbered here....

So to speak...I've dug myself out. LOL!!

So I am excited to be driving to my Northern Home... I think like 4 or 5 days and I am on my way. I'm also excited to see some hockey...its been a long time since I've seen a game. I just hope I don't get bored with it. On the other hand, it gives me some time to spend with my brothers.

My friend finally sent me the Nascar races that I had missed while working my tail off. So I can't wait to get to watch those.

So I've been drinking Eggnog like crazy @ work. I never thought that I would ever like it. I finally am in the mood of the holiday spirit. It took almost the whole two months this year.

Uhmm yeah, not much more to really say...

Until Next Time...

Doing Your Best....

Cannot be taken away...

Life is what it is. I have figured out so much this year. Its been a tough year, but lucky for me there is always next year. I'm excited where its going to take me. My goals are set, and ready to be accomplished. Everything has been backwards especially where my damn focus has been. But now I am right where I am supposed to be.

There is so much worth waiting for. And lucky for me I know what my list looks like.

I sometimes feel stranded but then I walk it right out of my head. All that I can say is that I am who I am for a reason and nobody can take that away from me, "Not No Way, Not No How."

I'm a risk taker. I take chances all the time. If I didn't, what kind of life would I lead?

Until Next Time...

Maybe Its Springfield....

So I had my interview. I'm excited if it works out. I guess I could get used to Springfield. I have it in my whatever I want to call it, that I pretty much just want to be claimed as something. So yeah...Im tired and I'm going to crawl into bed.

Go ahead and Jump.....

I'm So excited!! And I don't have a clue why either. LOL!!

Hmmm....I Wonder.....Any Suggestions??

So in January and February...I still need to decide where and what I want to do. I kind of don't want to be stuck in MO for two long months. Any Suggestions???

Had a pretty good day off today.

Went to a luncheon at work with my roommate. Suppose to go to my departments pot luck dinner tomorrow night, but I don't think I will go.

Ran some errands. Hung out with an amazing 12 year old (he's a genius)...watched a movie although we mostly talked through the whole thing. Played PS2 with my roommates.

Went to this loan place, and my roommate asked me if I wanted a pen, I told her no I'm good. So she decided to take one, then she took two. And the lady was like take as many as you want. So my roommate dumped the whole mug in her purse. And the lady was like you want one of my jumbo pens. And she gave her that too. We were all laughing so hard.

Watched Maggie and Bella attack one another for a rubber chicken. Glad that Maggie has finally warmed up to me again.

Watched another movie while eating our frozen pizzas. Then played some more PS2.

Been listening to Van Halen like crazy.


Well I think I'm going to curl up in a blanket and watch a movie.

That's all I have for now....

You've got to roll with the punches.....

Life is going good, I guess. My days off this week have not started out the way they should. But I am trying to work on that.

I am honestly not enjoying being single anymore. Before it really didn't bother me too much, there were a bunch of factors that made things better. But now, I'm just tired of it. I honestly don't know anymore. Oh well, Nothing I can do about it.

So on Saturday I had a headache pretty much all day. When I got home I took my hair down, and realized that I had a bump on my head. I was trying to think of how I received such a bump. Then I remembered, I got hit in the head at work. I was helping someone that was working at one of my stands put an awning down. Well to reach this awning I have to climb the side of the wall. He was on the other end and had tried to put it down all the way and forgetting that I was still on the wall. And he let it fall and hit me in the head. Oh well...lol...

My foot is finally feeling much better. I was in so much pain last night trying to walk on it. I don't have a clue what was wrong with it. I'm just glad it stopped hurting.

So this lady had bought a bottle of water from us, and she tried to tell me that she paid for it with a twenty dollar bill instead of a five dollar bill. I was like no mam, you gave me a five dollar bill. So she said okay, then left the line. Well the next thing I know, she is back. Once again, claiming that she gave me a twenty dollar bill. So I was like okay, we will give you the fifteen dollars that we supposedly owe you. So my co-worker was saying the same thing. So I did. So I told my co-worker after she left, I was like I know that she gave me a five dollar bill. Because the guy a head of her gave me a twenty dollar bill. It just so happened that our auditor came down not to long after that. So I went to lunch and my co-worker informed her of the situation that occurred. Once she got done auditing our register, he asked her about that. And of course I was right. She gave me a five dollar bill. So she had made our register fifteen dollars short and made off with a profit.

I'm the most honest person. I have no reason at all to be dishonest. Karma would bite me in the ass if I was dishonest. LOL!!

I have nothing else to say now....

rather be a giver than a receiver

I hate Cancer and what it does to people. Mom is headed back in for more surgery. And she just came into recovery from the last one two weeks ago.

So I am a person that rarely shops for myself on special items.

Well I decided that I wanted to pick a pearl.

And I kept telling everyone that I really wanted the rarest pearl; which is the black pearl. I was confident that I was going to pick an oyster with one in it. So I went down to the shop... I used the tongs and started picking through..And finally I found an oyster that I liked the looks of. It was underneath all the other oysters and on the very bottom. She cracked that baby open...and it was awesome, I got a black pearl. It so made my night.

I would rather be a giver than a receiver.

I rarely ask for help when I know its necessary..I'm stubborn like that.

It has been so cold....and the bad thing is that we could only open up three of our shops. But I hope that Saturday will be our big day. Its been boring these past couple of days.

Finally got my rehire papers. I'm going to sign my life away at least one more year. lol...

I'm so ready for my simple life...

Anyway...might as well try and get some sleep before heading to work...

Until We Meet Again...
