it's almost friday

Which doesn't really mean anything special but a few days off work. Our get together was fun as always. We missed the Ezells but they thought they needed sleep after being in Destin all weekend. For some reason I didn't take too many picture....unusual, but that's life. I went at midnight on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix. It was awesome as I expected it would be. There was a lot from the book left out, but if they had not left it out it would have been a 4+ hour movie. I can't wait for the last book that comes out next weekend 7/21. I'll be in ATL with the girls that day, but no worries I pre-ordered my book and it will be delivered. That'll give Wesley a head start on reading it. I'm sure I'll still finish it before him. I read way faster. Work sucked on Wednesday from lack of sleep, but I survived. I'm off to bed now.....

Yea for me!

I took and passed my Master level licensure exam. So I am now a L (licensed) C (certified) S (social) W (worker). I'm glad to have the test over. I know several other social workers that have taken the test and not passed, so passing it on the first try is great.

I suppose I haven't blogged in a while. Life keeps getting in the way and I forget to blog. The week of the 4th was quite busy. The weekend prior we went to the Hightower's (well really Nickie's parents) to grill and swim. Me and Kristy kicked Wesley and Matt's asses at some water volleyball. It was good to just hang out with friends that we don't see as often as we'd like. On the 4th I went to Opp to Grandma's then just hung out with Beth and Lauren. Wesley had to work. Then I spend the next few days studying for the licensure...which thankfully paid off.

I'm also in the process of getting a group together to plan our 10 year reunion. It's hard to believe it's been almost 10 years. I think a good group has volunteered and we'll get this thing together in no time. We have our first meeting later tonight.

We (Beth, Lauren and I) have an awesome new friend that we've been hanging out with...Krystan. She's a great addition to the three of us. She is always making me laugh. I look forward to getting to know her and hang out with her more. Speaking of hanging out...she's going with us to our aunt's house in a few weeks. We are just going to hang out cause we know Pam and Ginger miss us! We always have a blast when we go to ATL. I've heard rumors we might catch a Braves game while there. Of course I'll take pictures.

I'm off to do some cleaning. We're having a "Yippee Green's home and it's a good excuse to hang out" thing out our house tomorrow.

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.
