It is impossible to skip and be mad at the same time. Try it...

I still have refused to turn on the air conditioning. After last months $34.oo power bill, I'm just going to suffer through he heat.

Everyday I'm going to watch the mailbox for my rebate check. Then I'm heading straight to the bank.

There is apparently a pill you can take to lose weight. The small print at the bottom of the ad says it recommends a diet and regular exercise to see results.

When I recently went to the flea market, there was a booth set up to detox your body. You put your feet in a tub that draws out all your toxins and turns the water brown. It was completely disgusting and totally a scam.

Decks are expensive!

Today I met with the man who will be building my lovely fence so Rusty can run free through the back yard. I also had him plan some decks and found out they are pricey little things! I've been dreaming of lovely summer days laying basking in the sun on the deck, grilling out on summer nights on the deck, and trying to plant flowers to spruce up the weeds on the deck. All these things require a deck!! I'm debating whether or not to get one built which would mean I would be living off ramen noodles, hot dogs, and other cheap foods for the next year.
I need to check out the nutrition facts on the ramen noodles and then I'll decide.

Rusty barked for hours on the way back from Memphis. He was so tired when we got back, he completely passed out on the sofa. Good boy!

Deathly allergic to ants! Oh my!

Now if you know me, my thumb is far from green, and every plant I have owned ends up being neglected, drying out, and dying a miserable death. So when my front and backyard turned to foot high weeds and Rusty wouldn't go further than a few steps into "the jungle", I figured I better suck it up and do something about it. In an attempt to try to de-weed my yard this weekend I noticed two huge ant beds or hills or whatever you like to call them. So I took my Bengal bug spray and poked the straw into the hill and began spraying. It was quite amusing to watch the ants scurrying out of the hole in a panic. One managed to make it to my toe, and in his anger bit the crap out of me. I am deathly allergic to ant bites. I get swollen, red, hot, weak, and once in Moundville, my throat began closing after being bit by several ants. So now three days later, I am still taking benedryl, my foot is still swollen so much it looks like I have elephantitis, and that ant got the revenge he was seeking.

It feels weird when I'm driving and I'm not on the phone. That is a bad thing!!!!!!

It hailed on Friday and scared me silly.

When planning a trip to Memphis, the first thing I think about is what food I'm going to eat while I'm there. Then I begin to think beyond meals.

Spring is here!! Get excited about flowers, laying out, open sunroofs, beach trips, baseball games, tennis, sunglasses and sundresses and of course FLIP FLOPS!!!

A woman of many lists!

Before Spring break, I made a list on my computer of all the things I needed to accomplish on my 7 days off. I have this really cool post-it note program that places post-its on your desk top. Anyways, after spring break I evaluated the list again excited about crossing stuff off. I am indeed a woman of lists. I love to make them and love even more to cross things off. I laughed when I noticed I could only cross off the FIRST item on my list. Woohoo! Here's roughly what my list looked like:

1. PARTY!
2. AL Taxes
3. Put up fence
4. Work on grad school project
5. Buy Rusty's meds
6. Wash and clean car
and so on.... you get the point.

I have an extremely keen sense of smell which some may think is a good thing but when I'm the first to smell body odor, burbs, farts, and other nasty smells that people let out and try to get by unnoticed, I begin to think its more of a curse.

I caught the bouquet at Grace's wedding the second time she threw it! The first time she overthrew it and I started running after it then realized how ridiculously desperate I looked and tried to walk away unnoticed. I didn't realize it was all caught on tape!
