Another boring weekend

Ok, so obviously I only post after the weekend. My life is just not that exciting. Friday I went to the gym with Kristi, and then we went and ate at Jim-n-Nicks, and after that I went to spend the night at my mother's house because Josh was at work, and I was anticipating bad weather. Since we had waited until we were under a tornado warning the night before to leave our mobile home and then almost got blown off the road, and had to turn around, I thought it might be good to do some precautionary planning. Of course, when you are actually counting on something, it doesn't happen. Not that I'm complaining! Saturday, I went to the gym, and layed around the rest of the day. Josh had to work all weekend, so I didn't do much. I went back to church on Sunday, Josh was working, but my sister and her boyfriend and my niece went too. It was good for me to go. It has been a while. After church, Kristi and I went back to the gym. That was the 5th day in a row! We were exhausted, but we got through it. I was proud of myself. I know this post was boring, but unfortunately so was my weekend! Next weekend should be better. Josh will be off work then. Maybe we will go to the drive-in. That sounds like fun. We will see...

Weekend summary

This weekend went by too quickly as usual. It was fun though. Nicole's wedding went great, and she was beautiful! We had a great time before the wedding, getting our hair done, and fixing our makeup. Girly stuff! I got to see my Cass Cass, and thanks to her, I made it home with no problems! Saturday was fun too! Josh and I went to eat hot wings at some new friends house, with some old friends...Does that make sense? Anyways, we all had a good time together. It is funny to me how, once you get older, and married it is easy to find things you have in common with any other married couple. Even if you are very different people individually, or very different ages you still have the same daily struggles, so it is easy to find things to talk about.
On sunday my sister and I came to birmingham to go shopping for wedding dresses!! Yay! I am so happy for her that she has found someone who she is totally in love with, and who feels the same way about her, and treats her that way! She deserves it! She has definitely gone through a few frogs to find him.
Well that sums up the weekend. Now I am back at work. This is a good week though. Things are picking up. I still have time to twiddle my thumbs, just not as much time. Oh I forgot to mention that I went to the gym by myself last night! It was very boring, but I was proud of myself for going anyways! That is all for now!

Rambling

Today is cleaning day at work. This is good, since we only had one patient today. The other one canceled. Yes the other ONE. This new practice thing is rough. Things are definitely picking up, and I can't really complain because I do love my job even though it is sometimes boring.

Me and Kristi went to the gym again last night. We worked our arms this time, so I have been noodle arms today. Of course I wouldn't tell my one patient that I could barely control my arms. Scalers+shakey arms=lots of bleeding. Ha Ha. Just kidding. I managed to keep things under control. I am just a weak person. (physically) I couldn't lift the same amount of weight as Kristi. It was funny. Her husband was showing us what machines to use to work out our arms. I couldn't do one of them at all. He said we could wait until I was a little more "advanced" for that one. Ha! That was putting it nicely. Oh well, I never planned on being in any weight lifting competitions, so I should be ok.

Today after work I have to drive all the way home to Jasper, so I can pick up my bridesmaids dress, and then drive all the way to Athens. Yuck. I would have had my dress already if I would have double checked what time the alterations place closed. I sent Josh to pick it up, and he arrived about ten minutes too late. It was my fault. I guess I should have been more specific. The wedding is tomorrow. I hope my dress fits. I am scared I won't be able to get home from the wedding chapel. I don't know my way around Huntsville very well, and I have no sense of direction. I don't take directions very well either. I guess I will survive.

Pain

So I have been trying to eat a little healthier for a while now, in a half-hearted attempt to lose some weight for the summer. Well apparently if you are lazy and you don't excercise that doesn't really happen. So after getting frustrated about eating healthy, and not losing a single pound, I decided I should quit being lazy and add excercise to the mix. So I joined the gym with my friend Kristi. We started this weekend. We worked out on sat. and sun. and now I am pretty sure I could be dying. I am SOOO out of shape! Oh my gosh, my whole body hurts! Walking is a big accomplishment at this point. I could hardly make it up the stairs to work this morning. I am glad no one was in the parking lot to see me grab on to the hand rail for dear life, and hobble up the steps. I sneezed yesterday, and thought that every muscle in my stomach was going to explode. How did I let myself get this way? Ha Ha. It will all be worth it later. That was pretty much the main event of the weekend. Josh was in his friends wedding on Saturday, so friday was rehersal, sat. was the wedding, and sunday after my workout I crashed, and layed around and read my book for the rest of the day. I didn't sleep very well last night. Ellie has developed a new habit of wanting to sleep on my head. I don't know what this is about. I tossed and turned all night, and every time I rolled over, she climbed back on my head, and when I would push her off, she would lay on my back, or my legs. We had the whole queen size bed to share, and she wanted to sleep right on top of me. It was kinda sweet that she wanted to snuggle with her mommy, but geez!

Poo On Night Shift

Here I am, sitting on the couch doing nothing, just like every other night this week. I hate night shift. I miss Josh so bad. He had to work all weekend, which meant that he slept all day, every day. Which meant that I did absolutely nothing productive because....Well just because. I guess I could have done something, but it is hard to get ready when all my stuff is in our bedroom, and he is asleep in there. I guess I could have picked out my clothes and stuff the night before, and put them in the other bathroom, but I was lazy and I didn't. So I layed around in my pajamas for three days, and didn't even shower until Josh got up for work every day. Oh! I did shower and leave the house on saturday. I had to go to Athens to pick up my bridesmaids dress from Nicole's house. She was moving the last few things out of her house. I can't believe she is getting married! I am so excited for her. Anyways, after that I made it back home just in time to say bye to Josh. Then I went to the tanning bed, and then Sarah and I made plans to watch a movie together since our men work the same shift togeter. We also thought it would be a good idea to get Ellie and her springer spaniel puppy, Mabry, together for a playdate. This did not turn out so well. Ellie does not know how to play with other dogs. She has not been around other dogs very much, so she is always scared of them. Mabry on the other hand was very excited, but since she is used to playing with a boxer, Ellie did not make the best playmate. We had to keep them seperated the whole time. The journey to Sarah's was quite exciting. Ellie is not the best car rider. She likes to be in your lap the whole time, and she also likes to look out the window, but since she is so tiny, she has to prop up on my arms to see out, so every time I move my arms to turn the wheel she falls down. It is quite annoying. We also went through the Chic-fil-A drive through, because I was feeling like a milk shake, so I had to keep her from trying to jump out the window. Did you know they give out dog treats at the Chic-fil-A drive through? Well I didn't, but they gave Ellie this huge milk bone. Well, it was huge for her. She usually gets small treats. Anyways I let her have the whole thing, and as soon as I pull away, she drops it between the seat and the console. Ugh! So then I have to pull over and turn the interior light on and fish out the treat. Then Sarah calls and says to meet her at Burger King, so I get the bright idea to try out their new mini burgers. Here we go to drive through number two. I drive all the way to burger king make my order, and pull to the window. At this time Ellie is just finishing up with her treat and she is sniffing around, and burying her head between my legs trying to get the crumbs she has dropped. This must have made a fantastic impression on the guy at the window, because he seemed quite amused by Ellie's behavior. I didn't even try to explain the situation. I figured that would only make things worse. Sniffing for crumbs, yeah that is believable.

Dog + Shoes = Bad

Yesterday when I got home from work, I had to hurry and get ready to go to the funeral home, my great uncle passed away on Monday. He was ready though. Now he does not have to suffer anymore. However, there may soon be another death in the family. The reason for this being... When I went to put on my black heels, I noticed that a huge chunk of the heel was missing. Around this huge chunk was teeny tiny little teeth marks. Apparently my little varmint dog Ellie loves shoes as much as I do...Did I mention I LOVE my shoes? I really needed to wear those shoes! Plan B: I was wearing black and white, so I thought maybe I could wear my red heels, and it would look ok. So I tried them on, but I just didn't feel good about wearing bright red shoes to the funeral home. So, I took the red ones off and left them in the floor, and went to plan C: black fingernail polish. It's sad I know, but it was my only other option. I used my black nail polish to paint over the big chunk of missing shoe. It only had to get me through the night. Well I made it through, with my crappy touch up job, and Ellie survived the night also. I didn't actually catch her in the act, so I didn't know how to punish her. So anyways, I'm driving to work this morning when Josh calls and says "I called to tell you something that is going to make you really mad." (That is never good.) I'm thinking...It is 7:00 in the morning, what could he have possibly done already to make me mad? That is when he says, "Ellie chewed up your red shoes."....You have to be kidding me!! (do you know how hard it is going to be to find the exact same shade of red fingernail polish!? ) Just Kidding! I have worn those shoes ONE time! The varmint is going to get it! (Varmint is what I call her when she is being bad) Ellie has lots of names. She has a different name for every personality. I call her: Elvis (when she's feisty), Smellvis (when she's stinky), Ellie Mae (that's just her middle name), Mavis (when she's not paying attention), Wiley, (like Wiley coyote, this one is when she hasn't had a haircut in a while, and the hair on her face gets long. When she lays her head down for a while, and then raises back up, the hair on her cheeks sticks straight out and she looks like Wiley coyote. It's hilarious) I call her love bug (when she's sweet), just "Love"(when I feel sorry for her), Turkey (when she's running around crazy), and lately I have been calling her Vermin (which means the same thing as Varmint, but I have called her varmint so many times I needed to switch things up a bit). She only answers to Ellie, but she knows when I am talking to her. She tries to act all sweet and innocent, but if that doesn't work she runs for dear life, and hides under the bed. Ugh. If she wasn't so darn cute and loveable! At least now I have an excuse to buy new shoes!

Weekend festivities

Well this weekend wasn't all that fabulous. It went by too quickly as usual. Friday night me, Josh, some of his friends, my cousin Sarah, her boyfriend, and some of their friends went to Cafe Bills to eat. It was ok. Nothing too exciting there. Saturday Josh went to Jordan's house to tint his work truck windows, so I spent the day chilling by myself. blah. That night I went to a lingerie shower, while Josh hung out with his buddies. The shower was pretty fun, but I got home kinda late so it was hard to get up for church the next morning. I did though. The service was good. I am always so glad when I do go. I wonder why it is so difficult to make yourself? Laziness thats why. Anyways, after that I had to go to a bridal shower for my friend Nicole in Killen Alabama, which I had no clue where that was, (she doesn't live there) so I met my other friend Cassidy at her house in Phil Campbell to ride with her. We had a good time! Which we always do when we all get together. They are my best buddies from hygiene school! We all live in different places so it is always fun when we can get together. After that I went home, and that was my weekend. I really didn't get to spend much time with Josh which is ok most of the time, but this week he is on nights, so I won't get to see him much. We are on completely opposite schedules. He will leave for work at 5:00, I won't get home till at least 5:30. Hopefully absence will make our hearts grow fonder! Ha ha. That is usually not the case with us, but we will see! And now it is monday, and I am in my little cubicle (not really it is actually an operatory but it feels like a cubicle so that is what I call it) and we have one patient for the whole day. That is not good in case you were wondering. I wonder if I should be worried about job security? It is a new practice so we are slowly building patients. I think I am ok for now. It is expected to be slow when you first start out. . . . Right? . . . . ? Hmmm....
