happy bday

Sing it with me now...
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

Heck I almost forgot it was my birthday yesterday with everything else that's going on at the moment.  Wedding & reception planning wow... so much to get done in such a short amount of time.  Thankfully I have a lot of people around me who have an idea of what they're doing.

I'm just not very good at coming up with ideas for stuff like this & it's proving to be a challenge to figure stuff out & try to maintain my sanity during the process.

Well anyways... so yesterday was my birthday.  Yep... the big 33!  These years keep going by faster & faster the older I get I swear.

Since there was some people from our corporate office in Houston visiting yesterday, we all went out to lunch together.  The funny thing was while we were sitting there talking waiting for our food one of the guys said it was his birthday too... so then we said this had to be our birthday lunch so someone else had to buy... and it worked, that's what counts.  It was on the company (smile).

After work I rushed home, let Abigail out for some fresh air & to take care of her business, then change clothes & go to my parents house to meet Kat & her mom for my dress fitting for some needed alterations.  Didn't take long then we ran to Hobby Lobby to check out some fake flowers & I bought a pen to go with the guest book we had already purchased a few weeks ago.

It was almost 8pm before I pulled into the driveway.

Fred had made a trip to Hereford, TX & had driven straight back home afterwards, so I know he was exhausted from a day full of nothing but driving.  Driving doesn't bother me, but I'm not sure I could make a long trip like that all by myself with nobody to talk to.

I was kinda hoping for a warm welcome when I walked in the door, like any birthday girl would want I suppose.  Not exactly what I received though.  Instead I got Mr. Grumpy.

I really do hate these prego hormones I tell ya!  Coming home to Mr. Grumpy last night sent me into an emotional tornado which would probably be rated as an F25 if there is such a thing.  All I wanted to do is cry huge tears, but somehow I managed to refrain from showing anything & just patiently waited... hoping that maybe I would get a little bit of softness... love... a hug... something... anything... but... wait... nope none of that happened.

If you have to ask for attention or affection it doesn't really mean as much, know what I mean?

Around 10pm last night we made a run to Sonic to grab something to eat for dinner.  I know baby Kayla was more than pissed at me by that point, but I had hope... a little hope... ok maybe a lot of hope that we would've gone somewhere besides Sonic to eat.  Knowing my honey was so tired, he could've simply said... how about I surprise you with a nice dinner tomorrow night & just grab something quick tonight.

Again... if you have to ask for something simple it just doesn't mean as much.

On the brighter side of my birthday... I had like one million people leave happy bday messages on my facebook page which made me happy, including my sweetheart that sent me a message at 11pm last night.  Several family members called, which was nice too.

All in all I guess I had a decent birthday yesterday.

So happy birthday to me, I'm officially 33!
Heck, that rhymes, ha ha.

Kia Soul Hamster Commercial

I've been rolling in the floor ever since I first saw this commercial so just in case someone out there hasn't already seen it... check it out...

heat warning

The weather forecast for this week...

I copied this off our local weather channel forecast:

An Excessive Heat Warning has been posted throughout West and Central OK through at least tomorrow evening.  The combination of high temps + high humidity = feels like temps between 105 - 115 each day for the rest of this week and probably through this upcoming weekend. A weak cool front will try to push south into northern and central Oklahoma on Thursday with a slight chance for t'storms but not much if any cooling this far south.

The heat goes on next week. Eventually the atmosphere will dry out so the heat index will drop...but then the actual air temps will rise. It's a trade off. So in a nut shell, it just stays hot with little chance for rain and or relief.  Please remember your summer heat safety tips because this heat can be dangerous if not taken seriously. Don't leave kids or pets in parked cars for any period of time!

Holy popsicles... seriously!  I think Mother Nature is trying to make everyone in Oklahoma melt or something, geez.  This is really ridiculous if you ask me.

I think now would be the perfect time to own a snowcone machine.  What do you think?  Oh come on... who remembers the Snoppy Snow Cone Maker?  Talk about totally awesome back then.  Oh how I begged & begged for one of these back n the day, but nope... never got one.  Dad would always say "you don't need that".  Well of course I didn't need it... I mean what child really needed anything, right?  I wanted it real bad though!  I think I'm scarred for life... because still to this day, I want one... just maybe a bigger more adult version though.  Those little mini snowcones wouldn't work for me now days.

Even though little miss Kayla isn't here yet... I think she would want a Snoppy Snow Cone Maker... maybe I better start my search for one.  I wouldn't want her to still be scarred from not having one 33 years later.  I'm going to add that to my list of things my child shouldn't live without.

I'm totally normal, I promise.

bugs be gone

So this morning started off like any other typical work day, until the bug people came to spray our building for bugs.

The smell was atrocious!  Within a few short minutes it started to affect me in horrible ways.  Light headed, dizzy-ness, felt sick to my stomach then a headache.  Apparently at some point I passed out/blacked out for a brief minute.

What good is it to be at work when you can't function?

I left for about 2 hours in hopes the air would be clear when I returned.  A fan was placed in my office & doors were opened to help clear the smell out of the building while I was gone.

After a brunch date with my sweetheart at Cattlemen's & returning back to work with the air smelling fresh again... well then I needed a damn nap.  Go figure.

I feel completely worthless somedays because all I want to do is sleep.  What happened to my energy?  Where did it go?  Is baby Kayla stealing it from me or what?  Well if she is, I want it back!  It's just hard to function all day long when your eyes keep trying to close on you.  I swear if I could somehow sneak an hour nap in during work hours I would do it & it would make me function a lot better in the afternoons.

Go figure we have errands to run tonight too.  Wal-Mart here we come!  Again!  I swear we should have some automatic Wal-Mart discount card for shopping there so much.  It's almost like we live there.  It's really bad when you have every single aisle memorized & can assist other shoppers in their search for items in the store.  That might be the first sign of going to Wal-Mart to often.  Who knows.

sticky bugs

It's sticky bug season again & oh how I hate them!  They're real name is June Bug... but I call them sticky bugs because if they land on you they seem to just stick.  Yuck!  For some reason they like to land in my hair & that's just totally gross if you ask me.

They should actually be called drunk sticky bugs.  The fly around like they are completely lost & in an erratic flight motion.  Completely crazy.  So it just appears they've had to much to drink & can't seem to fly straight to save their life.

Wish there was some type of automatic air mist spray you could put outside that would keep them away from the surrounding areas of your home.  That would be ideal.

I wonder where in the world they got their name at anyways.  I mean it's not June... it's July for Heaven's sake.  Maybe June is when they first start really showing up, BUT... I think that they should all expire by the last day of June if that's the case.  On the last day of June they could all just explode into a thin powder or something.  That would be awesome if we only had to deal with them for a month then POOF they are gone!

no more dress shopping

Come on & say it with me... Hallelujah!  I don't have to go dress shopping anymore.  After trying on about 50 billion dresses, last Wednesday night I officially purchased the dress I will be wearing to walk down the aisle.  Thanks to my bff Kat driving all the way from Stillwater to assist me in this process.  Otherwise I probably would've backed out & not gone to try on dresses that night.

I was completely worn out when we were done & towards the end I was starting to get grumpy/bitchy & to top it off I was hungry too.  Not a good combo.

I had to order the dress, it should hopefully (everyone please cross your fingers) be in next week.  It needs a few alterations done but other than that... it's great.  Yes, I still feel like a hippo in it... BUT... a smaller hippo then I felt like in some of the other dresses I tried on before.  Hopefully Fred likes it once he sees it.  The dress is simple, but cute.  Not a lot of fabric to trip over or mess with, which is the best part for me.  We all know I'm not exactly what you would call the most graceful person.

Now I will have to go shoe shopping... urgh.  I dread that almost as much as dress shopping, but hopefully it won't be that bad.

One major accomplishment this week was I finally was able to get all my invitations sent out for our wedding reception... that's a huge relief.  Although we still have to finish registering, so I'm hoping we can get that finished up this afternoon sometime & that will be one more thing to cross off the list!

I still have a long list of things to still take care of between now & wedding day, but hopefully everything will all come together fairly well.

I Pray For You

The other day while driving to work I heard this song on the radio.  At first I thought it was a religous country song because it started out like that, but when the chorus came, I almost wrecked I was laughing so hard.

This is funny... I just had to share the lyrics.

I Pray For You
by Jaron and The Long Road to Love

I havent been to church since I don’t remember when
Things were goin’ great ‘til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can’t go hatin’ others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you’re flyin’ high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know whereever you are honey, I pray for you

I’m really glad I found my way to church
‘Cause I’m already feelin’ better and I thank God for the words
Yeah I’m goin’ take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin’ up and I’ll keep prayin’ for you

I pray your tire blows out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos

I pray your brakes go out runnin’ down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I’d like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you’re flyin’ high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know whereever you are, near or far, in your house or in your car,
wherever you are honey, I pray for you.
I pray for you
