saunter

why does it make me absolutely batty when I’m in a hurry  and someone is sauntering across the street in front of my car? no need to hurry folks, there are not people waiting behind me either! oh this just makes me loony! I hate to profile but these people typically fall into two categories for me…

1. the well to do (or they think they are well to do) folks in their true religions, Louis Vuitton bags and Ugg boots, texting or talking on the phone or playing with their iPods, Ipads or whatever. They typically don't even notice that you are there which irks me even a little more! come on peeps, look alive, look alert, heaven forbid I wasn't paying attention and run over your undersized, over-privileged ass! jus sayin…

the other category….my personal fav

2. a mom or dad, a teenager and at least two other kids, moseying instead of motering in front of you, oozing out of their $7.00 special at goodwill, two sizes too small jeans, feet slippin and sliding out of flip flops as they drag their feet across pavement, while slurping on a big gulp. hair hasn't been colored in months, black trashy roots with orange ends. children whose hair has not been combed if not bathed in two plus days. These…oh these are the people who look at you like they have the right to stop in the middle of the road if they so please because you owe them something more than the welfare check you are already providing them! (note here…i have trashy roots a lot and have lots of good friends on welfare, as well as the louis vuitton bag carrying types,  but you get my point:)

why does this make me so nuts? I could leave five minutes earlier so I am not rushed or I can just be a bigger person and blow it off but it gets under my skin like chiggers do and I cant help but be annoyed. most of all I wonder…were they not taught common courtesy? to put a little pep in your step when others are waiting? I suppose not….

dying, dying I tell you…

to do this…

I mean I need to learn, seeing as I have never done a quilt nor do I have the faintest clue on how one would start! but I bought a pattern I'm dying to try (probably too advanced for my first but oh so darling) and I have a rotary wheel and a mat…now all I need is a fabulous teacher with some serious patience and then some fun girls to quilt with every so often! problem is all my darling, ever so fabulous girls who do this live in mesa and Nat…I think you are just a bit too far:(

but I definitely have the bug to get started and quick! it feels so good to be settled in my new place and feeling like its my own, once I get the pictures hung and the place gussied up I can have a party and then start playing with my sewing machine!

watch out fabric I'm eying you!

things i shouldn't tell you on my blog

but am going to anyway….

 

this is my journal and i want to write what i want to write, but, i fear that no one really reads this anyway but my sister meg (hi sis)

yet i cant say that I'm having a cocktail and feel like someone beat me up and this is how i feel most everyday that i work and it scares me because i fear my disease is getting worse. but am happy to announce i don't drink a cocktail every night i feel like this or i would be an alcoholic!

i don't like that I'm crazy in love and living in a world where i  worry about not living up to expectations, seeing as though, apparently, i have failed at this sort of thing once before.

 

seeeee, not supposed to tell you this!

i think i need a blog that no one can see, one i can be myself, say what's in my heart without worrying about a pity party or what will be read by who knows who.

i want a blog where it really doesn't matter that at 31 years old that i cant spell, or punctuate, although id really like to do better at that.

i think a new blog is in order, i think that is 2011

does anyone else ever feel like this?

i mean i actually had a good day and am deliriously happy in life, but ya know, sometimes ya just have a moment

Santa, temple lights and more

this year Christmas was a complete blur! I think with news that I was moving 2 days after Christmas made the month a little more hectic to say the least especially since Christmas eve and Christmas morning are both held at my house with family staying over and my sister here for the week. I did my best to pack the house while leaving the “family room area” that was decorated for Christmas alone. it was challenging because I HATE clutter with a passion but else was there to do? boxes in one room stacked as high as I could get them and normalcy in the next… but we did manage to do some great things! londy, nonni and I went to see tangled, the whole family minus Ronnie (choppers son) made it to the temple lights and to Rosas…yum (although the service was terrible and I swear there were two guys working the whole place, from the kitchen to the waiter to cleaning the toilets in the back!) we wrote letters to Santa, watched lots of Christmas movies, made gingerbread houses, went to a couple parties, made reindeer food,  laughed a lot, played with Meggie, ate and drank our fair share, opened presents and managed to relax. it was a good Christmas! and we are so blessed for having each other!

 

 

flaky

and I'm not talking the yummy buttery biscuit kind! I do not know what my problem is lately…perhaps too much on my plate with moving and all but yesterday I missed my sister in laws baby shower! I mean come on Bri! I had the invite on the fridge for weeks, had sewn her presents, was all excited about baby girl Bryce and ready to go NEXT Sunday to the shower. and while we were out of town yesterday playing in the snow (more on that later) and I could not have gone anyway, I still can not believe that I missed it! I am sooo sorry misty, what a great sister I am huh? oh and that isn't all folks…I have been doing this sort of thing repeatedly for weeks if not months. I am hoping now that I'm a little more settled that I can get on the ball and be better…lets put that at the top of goals for 2011…that and MANY MANY other things:)

 

happy Monday all
