I like her stuff. I am not ashamed.

A day in the life

As I was telling my co-worker today, I am a member of a dysfunctional family. It isn't dysfunctional in a bad way, more in a funny way. For instance, last night my brother told my not-so-tech-savvy mom that I have a website (my blog) to meet guys. she of course believes him and begins to condemn me. Nice work bro. After many failed attempts to reassure my mother that I am not infact trolling the internet for dudes, I gave up.

Lunch hour shenanigans

I am on my 4th week at my new job. Things are going well. I have a lunch buddy from work and we have begun eating a short lunch at the office and then venturing out into the OP wild. Fortunately, there are many locations to visit in our immediate area. So far we have gone to Super Target and Old Navy. Next on the list may be this Rug store that is having a store closing sale . . .
Today over lunch, we discussed how a friend of mine is really into scrapbooking. I informed the lunch bud that I tease my friend b/c she goes to "scrapbooking meetings". I have named her meetings the SAS club, meaning: Springfield Association of Scrapbookers. My SAS friend is not amused with the name. Anyway, lunch bud suggested we start our very own "Scrappers" club, not to be directly affiliated with SAS. I am intrigued by the idea and the fact that Hobby Lobby (or Hob Lob as I affectionately call it) is within our scouting area. Bring on the craft scissors!

4th of July, Springfield style

The fourth of July was a lot of fun. Things started out a little hairy considering I had to drive 2.5 hrs in lake traffic, but then I was able to spend the weekend with friends, sunshine and drinks. We were able to watch fireworks over the lake which was pretty cool and I participated in tubing for the very first time. Overall, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars or sparklers.

A Special Request

Well hello. It has been a while, and due to a long lost friend of mine who I was unaware read my blog, I am back. Lots of things have transpired over my break from blogging . . .

1) I did, infact, get a new kitten. I named him Sinatra b/c of his blue eyes (and beautiful singing voice).
2) I have switched jobs and so far so good. I miss some things about my old work, but the longer I am gone the easier it is to move on. My new job brings with it many opportunities and new people.
3) I am thinking about getting a new car. While I am not so sure I can afford it, I enjoy car shopping.
4) Some of my friends threw a "Rock Party" which was right up my alley. I LOVE old rock (ie: AC/DC, Aerosmith, Journey, Poison, Def Lep) I can't get enough.
5) I planned my first ever baby shower. It is for my sis-in-law, will be held in the STL and she is due in Sept. I gotta say out of all the parties I have planned in my life, baby showers are at the absolute bottom of the list on fun. Maybe it is the lack of booze that makes them so un-fun.

Well that about wraps up what has been happening in my not-so-exciting life. hopefully this weekend will bring something to talk about . . .
