not much to say

But I thought I'd write anyway. I've come to the decision that I hate folding laundry. I have no problem keeping it washed but the folding is something I'll put off everytime. Now that I said that I've thought of something else to bitch about...stupid ass people. There are varing degrees of stupid people and they all get on my last nerves. Right now particularly I'm talking about people who are lucky enough to have kids and don't appreciate them. Why have children if all you are going to do is push them off on other people and bitch when you have them alone? I just don't understand these people. They also come in varing forms. You have those that take care of their kids when others are around, to keep up a facade of being a good parent. Then there are those that don't give a shit-these are the kind I generally worked with at DHR. At the moment these aren't the ones I'm bitchin about. Some of you know who I am talking about, other's don't know the particular people but I'm sure you know someone like them. If not be glad.

In a little different, I've been asked to expand the area I cover at work. The health departments throughout Alabama are divided into Public Health Areas. I think there are 11 areas throughout the state. I work in area 10 and at the moment cover half the counties in the area. I provide home health social work for the Homecare divisions of these counties. Apparantly our area is shorthanded as far as social workers in general. The social worker that covers the other half of the area has been asked to help out in the clinic part of the health department where 2 of the other workers are about to go on maternity leave. To have her job covered, I've been asked to do the home health social work for the entire area. This is all good, my travel reimbursment will go up cause working in 8 counties is a lot of miles. Gotta love those travel checks! I don't think my work load will increase that much because Simone (the other home health social worker) has only had 17 referrals since April. I've had 13 or so this month alone.

Well that's enough babbling for now--until next time

here's another

For those of you that anxiously await my blogs...here's you another installment. NOt too much going on since Wednesday. Chrisy (Beth's sister/my cousin) and her family came down Friday. We hung out with them and played some Phase10 and grilled. We even rode the four wheelers some. Saturday I showed Tot (Chrisy's daughter) the basics of scrappin. I hope she's as hooked as I am. Then we went back to Beth's for some more hangin out, four wheeler ridin and grilling. Chrisy and fam went back to Roanoke. Welsey, Beth, Blake, Lauren and I invented rules for Drinkin Phase10, which I must say made the game much more interesting. I think we only made it to Phase 3 or 4 before we were all too toasted to play. If anyone is interested in the rules, let me know and I'll get them to you. Sunday I spelt until 12:30. It was great. Then I went to Beth's in-laws and had some yummy food. Then it was time for more four wheelin. The girls went riding first. Beth, Kim and Lauren were on one four wheeler while me and Monica were on the other. Due to lack of rain it was quite dusty, so we tried to keep our distance. I talked Beth into going on a trail that wasn't so much a trail anymore. It was an intersting adventure to say the least. The adventure was cut short because the guys wanted to ride and I had to come home and get ready to go to Wesley's parents in Troy. Then it was back to Beth's for some more Phase10...the not drunk version.

So to sum it all up, it was a pretty relaxin weekend of hanging out and havin fun.

If you are just super interested, there are pictures on my myspace .

Just for Beth

So I'm not doing as well as I hoped in the blogging everyday. This week has been busy after work. Monday after work Wesley and I went with Beth and Blake to Troy to eat at La Parota. It was yummy. Tuesday it was storming in Elba when I got off work in Enterprise, but by time I got home it had quit raining. Beth and I went to Andalusia to see little Laken in the hospital. I'm not sure who was more pitiful, her or her Susan.


She is doing better and got to come home today. While in Andalusia, we went to Wal-Mart and bought birthday presents for our cousin's kids. Trent's birthday was in May and Teegan's is in July. We missed Trents and Teegan will be in North Carolina for hers. So we dropped by there and suprised them. They both appeared greatful. We also watched Lee and Tamra's wedding video. Since I missed the wedding, I was glad to get to share it with them. Tonight was pretty relaxed. Just hanging out at home. I'm off to post some photo-a-day pictures for the whores. I might even try to get MJ's personal challenge for me done. She has challenged me to go to 2Peas at least once a week and add 5 layouts to my bag of scraps. For you non-scrappers, a bag of scraps is a place that saves the work I like so that I can go back later and "lift" (use and inspiration) it.

I hope you enjoyed this ASSTASTIC blog!

Yesterday

So I didn't get a post done yesterday. I don't know why because yesterday was a lazy day. I got some scrappin done, but got a little bored with that. I sent out some emails about a class reunion that is approaching fast. Quick question...if my class was to have a 10 year reunion during homecoming, would be have it the 07-08 school year since our senior homecoming was 97-98 or would we wait until the 08-09 school year? Leave me a comment with your opinion.

Well I'm off to try to get some more scrappin done. til next time--

6/8

So I'm gonna try to blog everyday. It might not happen, but I'm gonna give it a shot. Not too much exciting going on. We finally have a weekend with no plans. I hope to get some scrappin done. I've got to get an altered item made for my May Secret Sister. I should probably do June while I'm at it, my June girl don't have to wait til mid-July. I've also got to get some pages done for hater circle journals. Kelly, if you read this, be prepared. I'm planning on sending you 3 journals.

Some really exciting news....I'm going to meet some whores in October. I can't wait, a weekend of scrapping with the whores. It will be one of the best birthday presents I've ever given myself!! Druing my trip, I hope to get to see my friend Katie that moved back to Davis, CA last summer.

Well it's back to scrappin for me. I'll try to post some of my work in tomorrow's blog.

life in the last month

MJ said I needed to blog more because it had been a long time since I last posted a blog, so here it is. I've had a lot going on recently. Let's see... since my last post (May 4th I believe) we had mother day. That was harder than I thought. I don't guess I really prepared for it, but I was bummed most of the day. We did the family thing on Saturday and all was great. Wesley and I just hung out at home and I was super ill. I didn't really think about it and made the comment to Wesley that I didn't know why I was so ill and he pointed out that it was probably cause it was mother's day. It made sense. I teared up several times through the day for no apparent reason, but such is life. I'm sure there will be several more days to come that sneak up on me.

To happier life events. I finished school. I know have my Master's in Social work. I am patiently awaiting the diploma to arrive in the mail. I'm sure I'll take a picture of it and post it on myspace when it arrives. I did not participate in the graduation cermony, but did borrow a cap and gown from a classmate for a photo op. Those pictures are on my myspace as well. Feel free to check them out and leave some comments.

Lauren, my sister, graduated high school. It kinda makes me feel old. I remember dressing her for school cause she didn't want to get out of the bed. She was quit the picky dresser for a 3rd grader! My Brother and his girlfriend, Gina, came up from Tampa for graduation. They brought lots of yummy food with them that Gina's parents prepared. Wesley, Lauren and I then back to Tampa with them for a long weekend. We got there safely despite Tropical Storm Barry. Luckily for us it was just a lot of rain with a little wind, nothing too major. We left Alabama Friday around lunch with plans to meet up with Gina's parents and our Aunt Debbie at the Cheesecake Factory for what I hear is some awesome food. When we arrived at the Cheescake Factory we were told there was an 1.5 hour wait. After wating for about 45 minutes we decide to go to another nearby restaurant. We walk across the mall to Sam Seltzers. Gina's mom called prior to our walking over and told there was no wait. Well we get there and the one table that could accomadate our party was taken. There was a couple that had paid but wasn't leaving. We needed there table to add to ours to have enough room to seat everyone. We finally got seated and had a great meal that Aunt Debbie and Uncle John picked up the tab for. Thanks to them for that wonderful suprise. We had great plans of going out, but due to TS Barry, we decided to stay in. Our Saturday didn't start as early as we had planned, but it was vacation. We hit Downtown Disney and some outlets. Mainly did shoppin on Saturday. Sunday we got up a little earlier, and made it to Universal about 1030. We shut the park down Sunday night. We then headed to the House of Blues for some food and drinks. Being the smart girl that she is, Gina did not go with us and rested up for the next day. Brother and Wesley on the other had got wasted. 5 Jager bombs and several other random drinks tend to do that. Wesley was up most of the night not feel his best. Brother sucked ass most of the day Monday due to still being drunk when he got up. He was a joy to hang out with. We had fun anyway. Monday we went to Islands of Adventure. It was way cooler than Universal Studios. We rode lots of water rides and was soaked several times. Gina made a new friend on the Pop-eye ride. He hit on her and told her all about the ride. We were drenched on this ride. I had to wring out my socks. It sucked being this wet. Luckily this was one of our last stops. Wesley and Gina hit The Hulk and then we headed to Margaritaville for some dry clothes and food. After getting dry and full bellies, we headed back to good ole Alabama. We got to Moms about 11 to drop Lauren off then made it home about midnight.

It was great fun, we are planning to go back in October for Halloween Horror. Anyone interested in going let us know, we are looking into getting villas at the place we stayed. The more that go the cheaper the rooms. The one we stayed at can sleep 12 people.
