I've made a beginning of the year resolution...

Today was the typical, work and home. Today at work while trying a new method for applying extensions (which you must know is VERY LONG and annoying process) I was listening to the girls around me just moan and groan and complain about life. Everything from, "my butt is too big, I wish God blessed me with better hair, and why does this take so long?" to "gosh i wish i looked like her". IT WAS SO TACKY AND ANNOYING, and as I listened I thought...my life is so much worse than that. And then I thought...wow that is selfish of me to think...I have SOOOOO much. I have a home to live in, I have a great family, i have a PERFECT job, I have a man who loves me who is alive and healthy, I have AMAZING friends, I have health, and so much more. There are so many people in this world, some that I can think of and some that I dont even know, that have so little or even nothing. So i decided, starting today, that i will NO LONGER complain about anything whether big or small. I hope that it will inspire those around me to realize how much they also have, and that they are all so fortunate...but mostly I am doing this for myself. I want to make it VERY evident that I am MORE THAN GREATFUL for the things that I have. I am so thankful that God has given me so much more than i could have ever imagined. This is my new resolution...no more complaining, and try to appreciate everything. :)

Another day in the life...



Yesterday was valentines day! WHOPPEE!!! Honestly...i could care less. I would give anything on any day to spend ONE MINUTE with my hubby to tell him TO HIS FACE that I love him more than anything in this world. How's that for romantic. All of you who have your significant other here, should NOT take advantage of it. (nor should you drink excessivly and complain about him after he just returned home from being gone for a year.) I would give anything just to be with him for ONE day. ANYTHING. Anyways, yesterday was just another day. I went to work, worked a little, got flowers and the traditional teddy from Lance, and then closed up shop early and went home to nap. How eventful huh? Then the bro and I went to Taco Hell and played a HILLARIOUS prank on Livvi. P.S. NEVER ASK A GIRL TO TACO BELL ON VALENTINES DAY, AND ASK HER TO PAY. Thats just wrong. :) We then headed to the casino for some good gambling action. I spent a buck or two. Then we came home and i reminisced with an old neighbor about the good old days. After that i chatted with Lance, and then headed to bed. Sorry guys, my life isnt that interesting right now becuase I am trying to take it slow. I feel like my life is just rushing past me, and that i cant even enjoy whats happening. So i am trying to enjoy the little things...like taco hell on valentines day with my brother. hahah. Hope you all had a good one.

When does life slow down?

I had a busy day yesterday. I worked 10-6, went to a funeral for Lance's first Seargent from 11-1pm, came home from work and made a cake for my mom, went to birthday dinner at Olive Garden with lisa at 7pm, and then afterwards went to lisas house to hang out with her animals. They were so cute. I think i like Dave's dog best. After Lisa brought me back home, I just wanted to see my mom...so I called her, and then made my way to her house. I dropped off her scrappaper that i got in the mail, admired her beautiful decorating, and then prepared my pages to show in scrap group. When i got home from mom's (around 12:30am) i still had so much left to do. I had to finish constructing my moms birthday present, wrap the others, finish frosting the cake, and then I talked to Lance. All in all a busy day. Today will be kinda like that. I woke up to my brother and father playing fooseball outside my door, which I must say was extremely annoying considering I stayed up until almost 5am and then woke up with annoyingly painful cramps. So then Lisa called and said that she was talking to Lance online and he said to tell me to get online. I get that he just wanted to talk, and was probably lonely...but DONT MESS with a girl and her period (or lack of sleep). I had a few choice words to say to him, which i totally feel guilty for now, and now i am laying in my bed PRAYING that these cramps will go away.
Lisa will be by my house around 2:30 to go to moms for scrapgroup and her BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! I am eally excited, and hope that i feel better in time!
