All in One Day....

So the other day, my roomie and I decided to go to Joplin to pick something up that was very important.

Well before we even left Branson, we decided to go on the Ride the Ducks. I had never done it in the three years that I have lived down here. Plus I wanted a Quacker. It was an hour and 20 minute ride.

Then we set out for Joplin. Got to Joplin and got what we needed to do done.

I had never been to Kansas and we were 25 minutes from a special place. So I wanted to check out Baxter Springs. I am in love with this town. It reminds me of Centerville, IA. So my thing is, its not an official trip unless you have stepped foot in a walmart. So we found one and went walking around the walmart.

Then we got somthing to eat. And since Baxter Springs is 1 mile from the Oklahoma State line. We were like Why Not. So we went to Miami. Found a walmart and walked around that one.

Then made our way back to Branson.

Fun...Fun...Fun...

Its been kind of nice for a change. Even though I have been working hard, I have got to have a little bit of fun.

Spent Thursday night and pretty much all day Friday up by Ft. Leonard Wood. I was excited about the room that I stayed in. It had a jacuzzi in the room. And the guy @ the front desk was awesome. He took 30 dollars off of our room. Then I had to return to Reality.

Saturday spent all day in Orientation. Then later that night had karaoke to look forward to. It was fun as usual.

Then on Sunday. Had the day off, so I was able to enjoy that. Had dinner with my roomie and her husband and son. Then on our way back home, we decided to go through the Hall of Mirrors. It was so much fun. We went through it like five times. Then once we we bored with that. We decided to go through the Hollywood Wax Museum. We were taken a lot of funny pictures. Sunday was our day of laughs.

Worked Monday. Then Monday night, was invited to dinner with my roomie's again. We ended up having an awesome waitress. It was another enjoyable evening of laughs, I ended up staying the night with friends later that night after we got home from dinner.

Which is always a treat. LOL!! Almost went swimming in the lake, but we decided it was just a tad cold. Then Tuesday morning woke up, and hung out.

Then got home just in time, to take a shower, and then hop in the car to drive to Joplin.

And here I sit, @ 4 am, wide awake in Joplin. Sitting on the lap top watching my friends boys play Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

Happy St. Patricks Day!! And Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad!! Happy Birtday to my cousin Nancy also!!

Whistle While You Work......

Finally back to work. Basically been working my ass off as usual. But luckily thats how I like it. LOL!!

I have so much loyalty to my boss and have so much pride in my job. I think that this year once again will have the same vocabulary this year. The "Officially Unofficial" But I am going in with a different attitude about it. So far I am proud of myself. I love the environment that I work in. Its been interesting already.

My boss left me for one hour one day as we are getting stuff ready for our inspections. I was the only one there as everyone else was coming in late. In that hour I had so much already done, that I decided to go ahead and climb into one of our freezers and clean it. I ended up climbing into three freezers that day.

I was having a conversation with one of my co-workers and asked him how I end up doing the dirty jobs. And he goes "well its just the luck of the draw." I quess I was the luckiest person of all that day. lol...

The day that we started painting. I forgot where I had painted already, and ended up sitting in the wet paint. I painted some stairs to one of our buildings and my co-worker forgot and ended up stepping in it. Painting is fun, especially to see how much paint everyone ends up on themselves when they are finished.

I'm excited that the season officially opens on Thursday.

Well thats all that I have for now.

Day 3....

So on Sunday...

Marked 3 years of living down here for me. Pretty much rang it in with a Bang. At least that's what I'm going to call it.

Ended up leaving their house about 11 or so. My friend had to go to work and I had to go get my car which was @ her work.

Hung out @ home.

Then I texted my roomie and was like do we still need to go to Joplin. Cause her husband was still up there. She was like yeah, its still on. Then she texted me back and was like; if you are at home can you take Bella out. Of course that was no problem.

So I took Bella out. Well the weather was beautiful and so Bella and I hung out there for a while. I was sitting in the chair watching her. She was laying down in the grass, well she kept moving forward. And then kept looking at me and then moving forward. Next thing I know she pounced down on the grass like she was going to catch something. She ended up killing and eating a snake. It was crazy...

So my roomie and I made our way back up to Joplin when she got home.

We ended up taking a different way than before. And it was nice, cause some of the places we had gone through, I had never been.

So we got to have some girl talk on the way up. It was fun.

We hung out there and talked with his family for a bit.

On our way back, we stopped at Burger King in Monett. They ordered and then I was like well, since I really don't know what I want, I'm just going to copy what you guys are having.

Then we just randomly talked about stuff on the way home.

We got home about 10pm and pretty much went to bed.

Day 2...

So Saturday became an interesting day.

I was a bride to be @ a Wedding Expo. I had to do some maid of honor duties for my friend while she was @ work.

Then my friend was like what are you doing tonight after I met up with her. She was having a barbecue. I was like sure I will go, it was gorgeous weather.

What was to be a barbecue turned out to be: that it already occured and everybody had already left. Even all the beer was gone.

So my friend and I had to take someone home later that night, and we decided to head to walmart.

Well we got into a register aisle and there was a line. So my friend was like; let's share subway. Well she had got the sandwich made and paid for and came back and the line I was waiting in; had yet to move. So another aisle had opened up and we jumped in. We walked past the aisle that we had previously been in and they still were slow moving. It was crazy...

So we get back to the house, We were all hanging out. Ended up having to be really hateful to a psycho over the phone. She is a wife to the fiance's brother that was staying at their house, cause it was his birthday.

Well then we get a call that my friend's fiance's brother needs somebody to come pick them up. They were pulled over and the cops wouldn't let them leave until a sober driver came to get them. So my friend and I were volunteered to go.

So my friend gets out of the car and is gone for a few minutes, Comes back and goes I need you to drive their truck and I will follow.

I'm like okay...its a good thing that it was an automatic cause otherwise we all would have been screwed. The cops were staring at me as I walked past them. We opened up the driver's door, and all I was thinking was, please don't let me fall trying to get into the truck. Cause that wouldn't look too good. Especially since I was on the cops camera.

I couldn't reach the pedals so they called me shorty while I was moving the seat. LOL!! So I got to drive a badass truck. It almost makes me want to have one. So we got back to the Condo's and I stopped when security started walking out. We were like whats up. The guy didnt say anything for like a few minutes. So then I was like, do we have to stop or can we go thru. He was like what condo are you in. And we told him; so he goes yeah go on. The only thing about the truck is I can't park them worth shit. But at least I tried. lol...

So we ended up hanging out there for a little bit with another brother to the fiance.

Went back to the house and that pretty much ended the night.

Day 1

So on Friday...I drove to Joplin.

First time ever going there. So It made it interesting.

We were going there to drop off my roomie's husband so he could stay the weekend with his family.

Well we stopped in Mount Vernon for something to eat. Well we chose Mcdonalds. This was our order for the drive thru...2 50 piece chicken Mcnuggets, 1 large coke and 1 large dr pepper and sweet chili sauce. A number 15. I asked if anybody wanted anything else. They said no, just your order. I ordered a Mcdouble. And of course everybody started laughing at me. Since I gave them a simple order right at the end. lol...Then we decided that Branson West Mcdonalds had much better food.

We ended up leaving Joplin kind of late.

We got in the car and was like hand out some of the boxes of chicken. Took one bite and was like nope, taste horrible.

So we made a pit stop @ Flying J.

To make sure that I stayed awake on the drive home, my roomie and I were just randomly talking about anything. Mostly just blurted stuff out.

We ended up getting home about 1 am.

Excitement...

Can't believe that it is March already. Its exciting that Spring is pretty much here.

So my boss finally called me today. I'm so excited; you have no idea. I'm so ready to finally be getting back to work. I've been waiting for this call for what seems like forever.

So I had Subway today. Haven't had it in a really long time. It was nice to have something different for a change.

I've been listening to Taking Back Sunday like Crazy.

All I can say is that I am happy and I hope that it stays that way.

I feel like I took a shower in Sunshine today. I'm in the best mood today.

I took my roomie's husband to get his new glasses today, and he was all excited about that. I had to giggle cause it was the first time that he rode in my car.

I hate having bad dreams. I've been having them for the past couple of nights. I hate it.

Well I gotta go for now. I will keep it short and sweet...

As Random As It Can Get.....

So I have this amazing robe, its fleece and has Polar Bears on it. It does its job and keeps me warm. I've had it for years, I hope I never have to get rid of it.

So last week my choice of drink was Canada Dry. This week I'm craving A&W Rootbeer. Most of the time I drink Pepsi.

I have finally pinpointed my shopping down. I shop just like my father. He used to go to the 24 hour stores always late at night or very very early in the morning. And thats what I do sometimes, not all the time.

I've been listening to all sorts of music. I pulled out my case of cds and boy do I have a lot of cds. I couldn't believe how many I have. So I have just been randomly choosing cds.

My roomie's son made me giggle. I was talking on the phone and he picked up the phone upstairs and started singing. That kid cracks me up. Luckily it was my mom on the other end.

Lately, I'm just distracted with the small things. It could be good and It could be bad. I haven't quite decided yet.

So Saturday should be an interesting day. I'm going to a Wedding Expo. Get to perform some maid of honor duties.

So my Roomie and her husband and son, won't be home this weekend. Well this will be the first time that I will be in the house @ night by myself. I can just see myself right now jumping at every little noise. Which reminds me of a good movie: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. I love that movie.

Well TTFN!!

Quite the Variety....

So I've been told that I should open up my own Convenience Store, since I am so good at being a convenience to so many. A part of me is starting to agree. Its almost down right ridiculous.

So the other night, I was hungry and decided to go somewhere and get something to eat. Well, I really wanted Dominoes, but decided against it. So I drove to Mcdonalds and didn't really know what I wanted, so I just randomly chose something. Well then I was passing up Taco Bell, and it popped in my head, might as well have both. So I stopped at Taco Bell, and randomly chose something. Neither place is good for you but it was quick, fast and cheap, and we are going to die anyway; so who cares.

Then yesterday afternoon, my roomie and I went thru Mcdonalds to get something to drink. The girl was really rude. So after we dealt with her @ the first window, we told the lady at the second window about our rendezvous with the girl. And we were told, "It's just her. We get a lot of complaints about her. But it's just her." Really...hmmm...well her customer service sucks.

I always get Sweet Tea...It taste amazing, when they make it right. Sometimes they don't. But I drink it anyway, cause its pretty darn close.

So I've been doing my maid of honor duties, I found some pretty cool ideas. I've got some awesome phrases to fit into the bride's vows.

I ran to Walmart, for some key essential items last night. And pretty much caught myself. I ended up looking at baby stuff, and looking at little girl clothes. I caught myself with items in my cart. I was like what the hell am I doing, as I was putting it all back.

LOL!!! The best phrase that I was just told and actually agree with is..."Redemption is not for Sale Today." That phrase just puts a smile on my face.

I told somebody last night that I want a puppy. I've been wanting a Puppy for a really long time. They told me they want one too. I asked them if they wanted to have a puppy with me. They said yeah sure. It was an interesting coversation. lol...

So also yesterday afternoon, my roomie and I were just having an off the wall conversation, That was brought up after a subject concerning work was started by someone. We were standing in a register aisle. And talking about laundry in a hotel. And of course, I blurted out, that I would love to be a stripper. I didn't catch it, til she looked at me. Then I was like, no I mean a room and bed stripper. Someone that just strips the beds, and bathrooms of dirty laundry. LOL!!

I've been in this funky mood. I am full of energy. practically bouncing off the walls. I don't know what it is, but everything just feels so right.

I feel like getting all dolled up this weekend for no reason at all. Just Because.

Well Before I Ramble On....

Until Next Time...

Oh how I wish that I still had a dishwasher. It was so much nicer having one.

Today has been a quiet day, its been kind of nice.

Pajamas...

I've realized that you can't really miss something that you never had. It's an impossible task.

I'm glad that I don't hold my breath on empty words and promises, otherwise I would be dead.

It's excruciating, and I want to be done thinking and feeling about it. I'm lost and confused. I don't know where I stand anymore. Its just so damn complicated.

And on a different note...

I was walking down an aisle @ Walgreens, carrying a 12 pack of Canada Dry and the next thing I know, the cans are all over the aisle. LOL...

Wow..so walked into Walmart last night wearing tinkerbell pajama pants. LOL...and it wasn't even late @ night. It was like 7pm. My roommate and I both were wearing pajama pants. It was great. Birthday Shoutout to Josh. Hope you have a spectacular day. You are a teenager today.

I've just been hanging out lately. Not really going anywhere. Just basically staying home.

Don't know what else to say.

Until Next Time...

Make Up Your Mind...

Its kind of sad that a song describes how I feel about something that is dear to my heart.

I'm ready to feel normal; lol just kidding.

I shouldn't have to worry...or question everything...I'm too good for my own damn heart...the question should be: is my heart well deserved?

Time will tell...I've been patiently waiting...

I've decided not to hold my breath anymore on empty words and promises.

There is only so much that one person can handle; especially if they are at a breaking point. I somehow have got myself into a wide variety of situations. But I'm winding it down to hopefully only a few. Probably not going to go that way. LOL...

This year has gone somewhat in the right direction. I just hope that it keeps going that way.

I haven't got to the point yet; of any feelings towards being unappreciated. But I'm sure that the little path will be popping up at some point. Hopefully I wont have to be walking down that path.

I ended up putting my barriers up again; and my goal is to put them back down. I've started slowly but I wish for them to be down in a faster pace.

"I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart; That I left unspoken"

Got the best phone call ever today. I'm excited that my boss called me and informed me of everything. Can't wait to be completely back to work. Ten months out of the Year I don't have to worry about clothes. Only on my days off or if I do something once I'm off from work; is when I have to figure out what I want to wear.

I always put other people ahead of me. I never really get to do anything thats super special for myself. I guess thats a goal for my list. Hopefully I will get to achieve it.

Oh my goodness, so Apple Juice is like a bottle of wine to me. I drink it like crazy. Its my absolute favorite Juice.

Until we meet again..

Short and Sweet...

So I got a haircut. Cut it pretty short. Still kind of getting used to it.

I'm ready to ride some roller-coasters.

Its raining. Absolutely Love It.

Made Crepes on Mardi Gras. It was fun. It had been a really long time since I made them.

Anyway, not sure what else to say.

So Guess I will Keep It Short.

Cabin Fever....

I've probably gone temporarily crazy. I have cabin fever really badly for some reason. I just want to get back to work. Its not that I haven't had the chance to get out of the house. Its more like I'm cabin fever of this area. I have so much energy; that I just want to runaway.

Last night I stood outside for at least an hour, in the freezing cold. I didn't want to be in the house, and I knew if I was to get in my car, I would leave and not come back. I don't really have a destination. I just want to runaway.

I realized this morning that there are guys that have better eye lashes than women. Everytime I see my friend Kevin, he is one of them that has perfect eyelashes. So I always want to ask his wife Cheryl if she's jealous of his eye lashes but I never do.

I'm in this Surprise Mode. Its weird. But they really don't come out as a surprise. Its more like, it wasn't hidden and its just there. Almost like a huge slap in the face. Its weird.

Yesterday I felt like I was in Kindergarten. I even made a quote about it. "Wow...I feel like I am in Kindergarten again. Relearning how to share. I must have failed it the first time. Possibly going to fail it the second time...maybe third times a charm...I highly doubt it. I believe this is the wrong type of sharing that they didn't teach...unless I missed that lesson."

So I got all excited this morning. I found a cd that I thought that I had lost. It turned out that it was in my glove box. And all that I had to do was clean it out. I was happy to find it because my friends from the City, who do the waxed hands and wooded roses made it and gave it to me at the end last season. They are awesome people.

I'm ready to pay my car off, then sell it. I want my jeep badly. I have waited and waited. I'm tired of waiting. Not too much more to go and my car will be completely paid off.

My phone is driving me crazy. It doesn't charge right anymore. Then It told me I had a voicemail, but my phone never rang. Then I listened to my voicemail, but it never showed that I had missed a call. And the front screen is broken and has yet to fix itself like it normally does. I'm surprised that I haven't ran it over yet.

I got a Valentine's gift on Sunday. It was a 3D Eiffel Tower Puzzle. Its pretty awesome. I guess my roomate didn't want me to feel left out. It was a sweet gesture. I don't really celebrate Valentines Day. For a certain personal reason. But my dad usually would give me a heart full of chocolate. My Grandpa always gave me some of the sweetest things, sometimes I miss that. I really don't like roses at all. If I recieve them I take them anyway, but I frown upon roses. I like them but would rather not recieve them. I would rather recieve lillies and sunflowers. I'm not a rose girl.

I love simple things. Sometimes I just miss that. I'm not into fairy tales. If you were to give me a 50 cent piece, I would take that as a simple gesture. I don't need fancy things. I'm not that type of person.

I guess its hard to understand me. I've been told that I'm frustrating. Well, its because I am a go with the flow person. I'm Random. I've been told to rid myself of being stubborn, that will never happen.

Then I look back at what complete strangers have told me. That I have a sweet spirit. A beautiful smile that I should never lose.

I've been told that I have too much of a good heart and it will get me in trouble one of these days. Heck, I have no regrets.

I ask myself everyday, Why do I have the type of personality that I have. A smile is always on my face. I try to hide my worries and feelings. Its the most impossible action ever.

I basically live on risks and whims. And so far have yet to be steered wrong.

No I am pretty much just rambling. So I guess thats it for now.

Until We Meet Again...

A Vision of Things Yet to Come...

This weather is going to drive me crazy I think. Its snowing again. Don't get me wrong I love snow. Its just I am so ready for it to be Spring.

So I've decided to attempt to make b-day plans a little early. My b-day seems to always fall on days I work, and then I go to work the next day too.

I've been listening to a lot of music lately. A lot of the same songs because I haven't heard them in a really long time.

So I finally got my ring back. I felt so lost without it. I thought I had lost it forever.

I am counting the days down til I am back to work.

This year is going to be a promising one...I hope anyway. LOL...

Valentines day is on Sunday...not to excited about that...for many reasons...

Not much else to say...

Giggles and the Hilton....

Things are so hectic its crazy...

Trying to plan my friends wedding. Trying to find my new place to live. Counting the days down til I am back to Work Completely. Helping my friend move into her new place. Attempting to go back to school. I just stick it all into a blender....And let it mix...

I'm starting to become my own worst enemy. If that's even possible.

My phone broke for like the 50th million time. I just keep dropping it. I can't wait for a new phone. The other day was the first time the battery fell out of it though. lol...The phone is at least usuable.

So I went inside of the Hilton the other night. To visit a friend. Before I even go through the doors, this guy is walking in front of me and just starts talking to me. And starts talking about ice falling on his truck from their roof. He is telling me to watch my head. It made me giggle for some reason. And I get on the elevator, and the elevator starts talking. Now don't get me wrong, the Hilton is nice. But my favorite thing about the Hilton was the elevator, As I am leaving the Hilton. And walking back to my car, This guy comes out the door, at the same time as I do. Well he was walking behind me, and starts talking to me. He goes don't worry I'm not following you. And starts talking about how he has to go and fill up the gas tank. Just in case the weather decides to get bad. So that made me giggle some more. Then When I got to the parking garage, it took me forever to find my car. I forgot which level I parked on. I felt so stupid...

Then I decided I was thirsty. Well, I had already passed a few gas stations that I knew were open 24 hours. So I turned around and went back to a gas station. Well I've been to this one a few times. So the person in there, kind of knows me. I decided to get a 44 oz Blue Raspberry Jolly Rancher Freeze drink. Not the greatest idea but it was still yummy.

Branson makes me giggle... I have so many weird adventures here.

This year has just been one heck of an adventure. From Springfield to Branson.

It makes me giggle.

One Wing In the Fire...

This Song reminds me of a friend...

Some Waylon Jennings....

Not only was I named after this song...my dad sings this song all the time to me. I even have had complete strangers start singing it. Especially at work...its happened a few times. But I absolutely love this song.

takes my breath away....

It has been an amazing week. I've been barely home. Basically just to sleep.

Tuesday, spent part of the day@ the Landing. And @ Tanger.

Wednesday, started out in Branson, and ended in Springfield. Went to Battlefield Mall for the very first time.

I've been to probably 50 or so different stores. And went through probably way over a 100 pairs of jeans. It was a lot of fun.

My friend told me Wednesday morning, that she feels like she needs an appointment to see me. Which sometimes thats how I feel. lol....

I'm trying to divide my time, but sometimes theres certain aspects that are important. And she is important to me and so I guess I'm going to have to refigure everything so that everybody gets to see me equally.

I dont know what else to say....

Mushrooms....

I'm overly craving for mushrooms. Ever since Jeff and David's house, everytime I go to the store, I always forget to buy some. So then my friend really got me craving for them, because I was asking her about Olive Garden and what meals have them in it. And of course with her working @ Olive Garden, she is like describing it all. I am also missing okra. I'm just on this weird craving for mushrooms.

I'm excited about my friend getting married. I'm even more excited about being maid of honor. Which she knows I would so be @ her wedding no matter what. She is practically my sister. I don't know what I would do without her. We have known each other almost 3 years. I love her and the boys to pieces. I remember to the day that we both met. It was like fate that we met and got hired the very same day, @ the same time. We have been through so much together. From roadtrips to crazy wild nights; we have been through a lot.

I really dont know what else to say. TTFN!!

My Randomness for the Day....

Decided to take a break from my hard work..lol...

I definitely can tell that I was a housekeeper. I make my bed the same way. I guess once you learn it, you don't lose it.

I'm so ready for these two months to be over with.

My weekend has been a fun one. Went to Karaoke on Saturday Night. Then Sunday afternoon went and saw Avitar. Which is an amazing movie. Its a little long, but its stil good.

The Snow is finally melting...Im excited about that. Although we are to get more this weekend.

Today it has been all about music. I dont know what I would do without music. I'd probably go crazy.

So I had to giggle today @ someone. They told me I'm a strange one. It made me giggle. I kind of already knew that, but thanks for pointing it out.

Today is a purple day. I'm wearing a lot of purple. LOL....I just now realized it...

I want to shoot some hoops really bad. And I can't wait for spring to be able to use the Kaboom on the golf range. I'm excited.

I'm prepared for what comes next. Whatever that is.

Well Thats all I have For Now...

Until Next Time...

My Muse for the day...

Stubborn...Funky....Cold....

Its so damn cold. And its cold outside too. But the damn breaker keeps popping off, and shuts the heat off. Its been doing it all day. I go upstairs and its all warm and toasty, Im jealous.

I have been in a funky mood these past two days. I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing.

I saw the cutest little puppy. It makes me want one even more.

So I have been looking at ticket prices. Now I just need my destination and I am off.

Bella is shedding like crazy..I am covered in her hair. Not that I am complaining. I love her to pieces.

I am ready for some Olive Garden. It has been forever since I have been to it. Unfortunately I have no one to go with. So I guess I will have to keep on craving for it.

So I drove an amazing truck. It almost makes me want to get one. Although Im still a fan of my car and I love Jeeps. So thats a tough one.

So I was told to rid my self of being stubborn...lol...yeah probably not going to happen. I've been stubborn since the day I was born.

Until Next Time...

it can only keep getting better....

The Year has started out interesting. I hope it keeps going that way.

I've had my ups and downs and so far everything is looking up.

My vacation has been good so far. Been Planning trips. A friend of mine is wanting me to visit her in West Plains, hope I will be able to.

I started my year with an eye opening revelation..I'm kind of scared about it, but on the other hand, I'm really not.

I guess its just another new characteristic that I've learned about myself. crazy....

I can't believe I've been in Branson for almost 3 years. But then again, I ask myself, Where do I want to move to. lol....I know exactly where I want to live and why...but its a secret.

I walk through each day with a smile on my face.

My goals are set, and Ive been accomplishing them, one step @ a time.

Thats all I have for now....
