Well, here we are again!

I'm so sorry, but as of late.. I guess I've only been posting about our weekends or the fact that I'm very excited because it's Friday!  I'll try to get out of that habit soon, I've just been crazy busy finishing up at work.  This is officially my last full week of work and I have one day left!

Why one day you might ask?  Well heck, I wanted to get paid for The Memorial Day holiday, so I said I'd work through June 1st! :-) Sneaky sneaky huh?  Why not get paid for another 8 hours?!? 

Anyway, I should be able to post more after next Tuesday!  I'm hoping to share a whole lot more about what's been going on over here with our house, life, etc.. I do start class on June 7th, so that may take me away from time to time, but I promise to update often! 

Thanks for sticking with me during this rocky month.  I've been a bad blogger and I hope to be back soon!

On another note, I just want to say that I'm very happy and proud of my very own Hubby!  He got a promotion last week and I could not be more excited for him!( And talk about good timing when my job is ending on June 1st!)  So, way to go hubby!  You're such a hard worker and I truly appreciate everything you do!

Have a wonderful LONG holiday weekend! :-) Be sure to thank those who are the reason for this amazing holiday!

Weekend Recap

As you may have noticed, we have a very busy summer, filled with weddings, showers, etc...   Well, this weekend kicked off another stint of weddings for us.

Hubby was not able to attend because he had a bachelor party for a good friend.  So, I went stag, well not really.  I attend the wedding with my parents and my future SIL, as my brother was in the wedding. 

It was definitely my kind of wedding! I kid you not, the actual wedding ceremony was about 8 minutes long, no joke!  It was even shorter than mine and mine was only about 12 minutes... We like to get to the point people :-) 

The wedding was Saturday, so I stayed at my parents and headed back home Sunday early afternoon.  Hubby had already beaten me home from his bachelor party and boy did he look like death.  He was napping on the couch and I think it was a combination of a hangover and sun poisoning.  I'll have to get some pictures for you tonight, but this boy was BURNT to a crisp!  His ankles looked like that of a lobster, I swear. They went golfing on Saturday and it was the hottest day we've had yet.  I double checked with him that he packed his sunscreen, he did not, so I told him I packed it for him.  However; I guess I was not there to remind him to put it on (side note:  hubby is white, pale and NEVER tan...)  So, what happened? He forgot. He stood out in the 80 degree heat and sun, golfing during the prime time of the sun, 11am-4pm to be exact.  I bet he regrets it now!

We're not the type of couple that goes out every weekend and drinks a lot.  Actually, we're more of the home-body type of couple that only ventures out on the weekend nights once in a great while to indulge in a couple drinks.  Rarely do we feel sick the next day, but sometimes it gets the best of us.  And this was one of those weekends for hubby.  He tried to keep up with the "big dogs" and wasn't feeling so hot all day Sunday.  In fact, he wasted the entire day on the couch! uggg I hate when that happens.

I felt rather good on Sunday :-)  I got my grocery shopping done and then wasted part of the day as well.  It was far too humid outside to do anything.  I have yet to get my gardening done or any flowers planted, but it was too cold the last few weekends and now it's too hot! O boy....

Hopefully we are more productive this week/weekend, but imagine that... We have another wedding on Saturday :-)

Hope you had a fabulous weekend and have a wonderful week!

P.S.  It's my last full week of work at this job EVER!  Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in! haha

Friday, my love!

It seems like it has been entirely too long since the last weekend!  I'm exhausted and so ready for this week to be over!  It's about 10:45am and I have to make it until 4:30, it's going to be a long day. 

I have just 6 days left after today at my current job! (I'm seriously jumping up and down!)  I am so tired of it, it just isn't a good fit for me, which is probably a good thing since I went back to school for my masters to do something else. 

I will spend the entire month of June, Monday-Thursday attending class 3 hours away from home... Talk about a long drive! That's 24 hours of driving in the month of June, all by myself! Not to mention the weekends we have to travel elsewhere for weddings & such.  I'll be staying in the luxurious, spacious, beautiful hotel known as the dreaded dorm room!  Dun dun dun.... Yes, I said dorm room.  Hey, it's $20/night, you can't beat that!  It's really not that bad and it is my last summer of classes, Praise the Lord! 

July is a busy month, but it will be o so much fun!  My brother is getting married finally. I can hardly believe it!  My cousin is getting married, it's Hubby's 28th Birthday, showers to attend, my future SIL's b-day, my Mom's LASIK (she's getting it done here, so she'll be staying with us for a couple days until she can drive back home), the Bix, Ragbrai is coming through our town and we have a concert.  Fhew..... What a long month it will be, but I won't have to work, so it'll make it that much better!

Anyway, as you can tell, I'm looking forward to summer and only having 6 days left at this job! :-) This weekend we have a wedding to attend and some cleaning to do. 

Hope you have a fabulous Friday and an even better weekend! :-) 

p.s.  It's suppose to be 85-90 degrees here all next week!!!! Summer may arrive quicker than expected! yeah!

Day Dreaming

We've been talking about getting a new computer since Hubby's laptop may only last another couple years.  We both have laptops and have been thinking about purchasing a desk top.  So with that, comes the purchase of a new desk!  You heard me right, we'll be purchasing a new computer desk like this one.  Isn't it darling?  I love how it doesn't look exactly like a desk. 

As far as computers are concerned... I love my old Dell and I'm hoping to get another one someday.  What do you guys think?  Would you go back to a desktop or do you currently have a desktop and have been dreaming for a laptop?  Do you like this type of "Desk?  Personally, I think it looks more like a cute piece of furniture than a big bulky computer desk!  I love it!

Randomness

-This weekend we Hubby, FIL & Friends finished our new deck!!  Our old one was painted red by the previous owners, gross, I know and then not weather treated.  So, we tore the old thing down and built new.  I love it and I cannot wait to share pictures with you all!

-I have to apologize for my lack of blogging again as of late,  life just keeps getting in the way.

-After 6 days & nights of rain we finally had a beautiful weekend or high 60-low 70 degree weather and sun!!

-I have 10 days after today at my current job!

-We won't be enjoying much of our summer because of how jam packed it is already.  Here's a little taste of what we have going on this summer:

-8 weddings (yes, you did just read 8!)
-4 trips to and from class for me... A total of 24 hours driving alone, not fun.
-2 Bachelor parties, 2 bachelorette parties, 2 wedding showers
-2 free weekends in the entire summer with nothing planned, YET.
-and a concert in a beer garden :-)

All of these events are happening on different weekends, therefore; every weekend is busy from here until sometime in July, I think.  It's hard to keep track of!   O, and NONE of them are happening where we live, so we have to drive at least an hour to each of these events.

Do you have lots of summer plans??  Are you just as busy as we are??  I cannot wait until ONE summer when we can just relax and not be running around so much.  Ha, that'll never happen.

Happy Monday! 

Friday!!!

It's Friday!

And you have no idea how excited I am about that!

Tonight I will be:

Going to see this movie with a friend.

Watching my hubby, FIL, and a friend build our new deck!

Relaxing and SLEEPING!

O and to make things even better, the sun has decided to show it's face again after 7 days of hiding!

What do you have planned for your Friday evening??

 

It's Thursday!! One day closer to Friday!

Facebook thoughts

What's your take on facebook?  Is it the root of all evil for our society?  Is it a nice place to catch up with old friends?  Is it the new stalker capital of the world?

Until recently, I've never really thought too much about Facebook.  I've been on Facebook since it "came" to my college.  It was a fun way to keep up with friends who attended different colleges than you, it seemed harmless.  Now everyone and their brother has it. 

It's scary.  To think that that many people can see a lot about you.  I never post when Jesse's gone for the weekend or long periods of time, because I figure, what if somebody reads that?  After all, most crimes are committed by someone you know. (I swear, I heard that somewhere and really, I think it's true).  Now days with places like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc... stalkers are able to gain access about your whereabouts.  It's scary to think that someone reading my status updates on Facebook may be looking for just the right time to stop by my house to rob it while nobody's home.

The other day, I spent about 45 minutes deleting Facebook friends because I figured 900 people don't need to know what I'm doing with my life and if they need to know, they can use the old fashion way of calling, e-mailing or just word of mouth.

I deleted over 200 people and still need to do some weeding out.  I would hate to think that any of those "friends" would actually be using my information against me.  Afterall, I'm sure they probably aren't, but what if they were?  So anyway, I've decided to be more choosey when it comes to who is my "friend" on Facebook.

I'm sure one of these days when we have kids, I may decide to go private with my blog, but then again, maybe not.  Who knows.  I know where there is a will, there's a way for most criminals, I just think we should make it a little harder for them.  I'm not a twitter'er (?) and I haven't "myspaced" in about a year, so I'm trying to limit those things as well.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid and thinking everyone's a creeper, but better safe than sorry I always say! 

So what's your take on these Social networking sites?  I think it can be awesome and scary all at the same time.  Thoughts??

The one with the Chicken Noodle Soup

The other day, I made homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner.  This is how the conversation went once Hubby was able to eat it.

Hubby:  You made homemade chicken noodle soup?
Me:  Yes....
Hubby:  It probably has lots of vegetables in it, doesn't it?
Me:  Actually, no... I didn't have any and I normally don't put a lot in there anyway.
Hubby:  Yes you do, you always do.
Me:  O whatever, just eat your soup.
Hubby:  (As he makes himself a bowl and sits down): No veggies! This is like a dream come true! I've always wanted chicken noodle soup without vegetables. And Campbell's doesn't count.
Me:  Wow, apparently you're easy to please.

Addictions

Hi.  My name is Kayla and I'm an addict....

I can't lie, I'm in a love/hate relationship. 

There's this guy, he's my source of all information.

I go to him with happy questions, sad questions, information about what water bottles are good, what food is the best to eat, why this happens or this doesn't...

He's my go to man.

I am in love with him.  Until I get obsessed with him and then I hate him again.

Do you know who this man in my life is?  It's not my wonderful hubby, no.... Sorry babe.

It's GOOGLE.  Yes, I've decided google is a man, why not?  I trust him with all sorts of things and sometimes he lets me down.  (Again, not you hubby). 

Do any of you overuse this source of knowledge, good or bad?  I am a Google freak, I am obsessed and I can't stop.  If someone has a question or says something that I think is false, I look it up on Google. 

I am addicted to Google.  I am not ashamed to admit it and there is no help for me.

Are you as crazy as I am?  Do you Google everything, to death?  What did we do before the days of Google and the internet?

A week...

Yes, It's been a whole week since my last post.  I have to apologize, but school has gotten in the way among other things.  That's ok, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and before we know it, summer will be here!  I may pop in and out, but have no fear... I will return!  Also, I'm still reading your blogs and staying up to date on your lives, but I haven't been able to comment as much.  I'll try to get better, I swear!  Hope you are all having a fabulous week, until next time!
