WILW




It's that time again!
Time to link up with Jamie
and share what I'm loving this Wednesday!

I'm Loving... my new job. Though it's cutting into my personal time more than I thought it would, I'm loving the job anyways! My next paycheck is going to be killer (over 80 hours). That being said, I miss my friends.

I'm Loving... that my BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW! If you know me irl, you'll know this to be true. I don't let anybody forget that my birthday is in [insert number] days.

I'm Loving... again, I'm probably a total nerd for putting this one on here twice, but Law & Order: SVU. It's what I watch every night before falling asleep. It might seem weird but it winds me down and makes it easier to fall asleep. Weird, because that kind of show should give me nightmares!

I'm Loving... that I can blame the fact that I change my mind for my tattoo about every day on the fact that I'm a female. Try and stop me.

I'm Loving... that tomorrow I get to see my Eugene family. I miss them and it's always fun seeing them! Pedicures with my mom and grandma on my 21st birthday.. sounds good to me!

I'm Loving... My strengthening relationship with my brother. It's really important to me that we stay close, and we definitely are.. and that makes me happy.

I'm Loving... Mac computers. This is absolutely crazy for me to say, since I'm a firm believer in pc's.. but I've been working on a mac, and I have to say.. it is pretty nice. Maybe that will be my next purchase when my computer goes down the drain (which I have a feeling isn't too far off).

I'm Loving... that it snowed during memorial day weekend. Yep. Real snow. Snowflakes were falling at the end of May in Oregon. And if you don't realize that this is a sarcastic kind of love, then you need to be checked. Because I'm laying it on pretty thick ;)

I'm Loving... Life. <3

Procrastination

I have learned my lesson. For now. Remember that ticket I got back in February from running a yellow light? The one that I've been pretending didn't exist? Yes, that one. I was able to get it off my record if I paid a small fee and then took a traffic class. I had until May 28th to finish the class. I think you know where I'm going with this. I just finished it. A four hour online class. After working for 8 hours and spending those 8 hours staring at a computer screen. Needless to say I'm tired of staring at a computer screen! Too bad I have 8 more hours first thing tomorrow morning! I just had to stop in and say that procrastination is the worst nation! I'm never going back ;)

Hoo are you?

 
NightOwlCrafting


I'm linking up over here for Hoo are you?! 
Here are this weeks questions:
 
1. What is your favorite thing cooked on the bbq?
2. How do you celebrate Memorial Day?
3. Do you like your handwriting?
4.Do you still have your tonsils?
5. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?

Here are my answers!:

1. What is your favorite thing cooked on the bbq?
My favorite thing would probably have to be hamburgers.
I absolute love bbq'd burgers.. nothing says summer better than that.
Other than pool days ;)

2. How do you celebrate Memorial day?
Usually my dad's side of the family has a family reunion close by.
This year it's a little too far so I won't be making it.
But I will probably spend time at the pool if it's warm!

3. Do you like your handwriting?
I usually do. Sometimes I get in a hurry and it looks horrible
But for the most part I love it.

4. Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes. After my double-whammy of tonsilitis and strep I wanted them out.
But they wouldn't take em out. Jerks.

5. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Never.

P.S. Obviously the cleaning is going well :)

Cleaning..

Let me just get this out in the open.
I.HATE.CLEANING.

Whew, I feel a lot better now. 
When I'm in the mood for it, it's not so bad.. 
It just so happens I'm not in the mood...
But this is my last day off until Sunday..
And Sunday's isn't a day for cleaning.
Not even close.
So I have to do it today.
I know what you're thinking.. 
"If you'd just pick up after yourself, you wouldn't have to clean like crazy."

Well.. I'd have to say that you're right.
I'm just SOOOO busy now!
With school (classes coming to a close next week!!)
and work
and things going on at night after the other things I'm doing..
I feel like a mad woman!
I need a vacation already!
Good thing my birthday is in 9 days..
I'll get a mini vacation!

But for now, I must clean.
Maybe organize a bit of this chaos.
Maybe make a few trips to donate a lot of crap some stuff.
It should be illegal to have to clean on your day off.
Just sayin'.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!


It's another beautiful (kind of) Wednesday
And that means it's time for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm Loving... Muscle relaxers. I picked up my friends 2 year old daughter last night and I'm pretty sure I pinched a nerve in my back. I can't move my left leg without my back hurting, and I can't move my back without my back hurting. So muscle relaxers are my best friend right now. Even though they make me feel funny. I don't really like that part. 

I'm Loving.. My best friend's kiddos. We were at a wedding this past Sunday, and this little guy goes out to the pond behind the venue and catches a fish. With his bare hand. And while we were at the wedding, his sister's softball team won their first championship at a tournament! I'm a proud auntie!  




I'm Loving.. My handsome kitty, Uno. He's getting so big, and he's STARTING to calm down (thank God.. he's kind of crazy!) But I love him. He always knows when I'm sad and I need him to snuggle me. He's my fur kid :)



I'm Loving... All of the birthday's! It was my stepdad's birthday yesterday, and it's another friend's birthday today! It just means that my birthday is getting closer, too! Fifteen days.. not that I'm counting. Okay, okay, I'm counting! I can't help it. 
I'm Loving... Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I've been watching it from the beginning on Netflix. I'm on season two and I'm remembering why I love the show so much! It's addicting and it's definitely something that I'm loving when my back is hurting so much!


I'm Loving.. That it's Wednesday, and that means it's almost Friday! I'm having a date with my mommy at Applebees after we both get off work on Friday night. I love spending time with my mom :)

I'm Loving that there is always something to be thankful for.
What are you loving this Wednesday?

Go Shorty..

It's ya birthday. Well.. okay, not yet, but 3 weeks from Thursday it is!

I cannot wait. I'll finally be the big twenty-one! I have lots of fun plans, and time seems to just be dragging along. Really, it's going by fast, I just wish it was June 2nd already! I'm a big fan of my birthday (really, who isn't? Those people who say "it's just another day" are complete liars! It's YOUR day.. stop ruining my fun when I'm wishing you a happy birthday!) it's the one day a year that I can be completely selfish. Well, in all honesty, I could be completely selfish everyday of the year, but I'm not. Since I'm so excited, I'm gonna lay out the plans for y'all. (whoa.. did I just say y'all?!?!)

June 2nd (The big day)
Head to Eugene at 12.
Pedicure with my mom and grandma (going to pamper my feet before I torture my left foot)
Dinner with the family @ The Original Roadhouse (YUM!)
Going to a bar with my brother (whoop whoop!)

June 3rd
Head to Newport (the coast.. yeaaaah buddy!)
Get a tattoo (on my foot... yikes)
Do as little walking as possible
Drive home!

Sometime that next week:
Happy hour at Applebee's with Kelly and Aime
Movie
Second happy hour at Applebee's with Kelly and Aime

Basically, I'm stoked. This is the last birthday that I will be REALLY looking forward to (go ahead, roll your eyes you old farts) so I'm just wayyyy excited. That's an understatement really, but it's the best I can come up with. Here's a sneak peek of what my tattoo will sort of look like. Let me know what you think!

I'm wanting my favorite bible verse on the stem though, otherwise.. that's pretty much what I'm wanting :)

I'm a Call Girl

Well.. kind of. When I told my hermano (means brother in spanish.. he's my best friend's husband) about my job, he teased and said.. "So you're a call girl, huh? Got tired of those corners?" Yeah.. he's a riot.

Technically I'm a "call" girl, but not in the trading-sex-for-money kind of way. I answer calls ALL DAY. That's what I do. My company is hired by major hotels all over the country (the expensive ones that MOST people can't afford) to make reservations for them. It's actually quite interesting because I get so many different kinds of people to talk to all day. A few of those experiences haven't been too pleasant, but for the most part, I'm loving it. When I look up the hotels, it tells me the temperature in that part of the country and I get a little jealous when I see the temperature for Florida and Texas when I look out my window and see hail/snow/rain/anything but sunshine. I do like my job a lot though. I finished training in basically 2 days when they thought it would take me at the very least 4 (yeahhhhh buddy!). The people in the office are awesome as well, making jokes between calls, teaching me things to do when I'm bored out of my mind there are no calls, that kind of stuff. I'm so thankful that God gave me this job. He knew it was perfect for me. And so now I'm a "call girl."
