I made this just for Sarah! I hope she will like it…

FYI: The reason I’m going nuts with all the birthday stuff for Sarah is not only because she’s my best friend. It’s also because her twin girls happen to have the same birthday as Sarah does!  Being the selfless and loving Mom she is, I can so totally picture Sarah placing herself on the back burner so that her girls get the highlight.  
While that’s super sweet and everything, it has got to make for some fairly unfulfilling birthdays. I mean, I hope not, but I’d not be surprised if that’s the case. So that’s why I’m going all out on this year.  I want Sarah to have a special day for HER. A day where she is meant to feel as special as she makes everyone else feel.  
 
So now do you get it?! I hope so.  
I love you, Sarah!   

• I’ve got some spare time before I go prepare dinner, so I figured I’d use to up by composing some Randomness.

• I’m making Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with a lovely side salad for dinner tonight.

• I won’t be eating the lovely meal I’m cooking.  I’m fasting today.     :lol:

• My ten year old daughter is over on a different computer right now playing around with Photoshop. You should see the button she made the other night. It was a purple button for a website. It looked shiny and everything. She’s doing so well!

• I should hook my webcam up. It’s been sitting on top of my monitor for about a week and a half now. Just sitting there.  I think it’s about time I plugged that sucker in! If for no other reason than so I can use it as a mirror. I used to always use it to put lip gloss on with.

• We watched You Don’t Mess With The Zohan last night. Wow…that was stupid. I expected a high level of jackassery, but this by far exceeded my expectations. I like Adam Sandler, but it seems like the older he gets, the more his movies suck keister.

• Every Sunday night is “Spa Night” in our house. My daughter and I do our nails, put facial masks on, shave our legs, do our hair…the whole niner. It’s a really cute and fun way to bond…and our skin and hair thanks us for it!  We spent over two hours on Spa Night last night.  We even went all out and put tea bags on our eyes.  Next Sunday we’re going to use cucumbers. I made sure to pick one up while I was at the store earlier.

• Lonnie has been interviewing for jobs. Our business is struggling lately. People aren’t able to pay their bills like they used to, and it’s got that whole trickle down effect. If they don’t pay their bills, we can’t pay our bills…etc.  So anyway, he’s been putting his resumé out there in hopes to land a good job. Right now he’s got two different good prospects. Our fingers are crossed for the one in particular. It’d be a long commute, but very worth it in the long-run.

•  I’ve been watching Trading Spouses lately.  I’m not exactly sure why, but I get a big ol’ kick out of that show!

•  I keep threatening Lonnie to get traded with some really horrible wife/Mom to teach him not to take me for granted.   :lol:

•  My daughter just yelled at the computer.  Like father, like daughter!   :roll:

•  My stomach just growled. It had better shut the heck up. I’ll go chuck a glass of water. That’ll do the trick.

• I’ve found some REALLY awesome sites lately. I’ve gotten pretty lucky with my stumbling.  There’s just so much cool stuff out there to be found!

• I am going to call my Dad tomorrow.  I emailed him the link to a ton of new pictures I took, so I want to find out what he thinks of them.  Of course, I also want to see how he’s doing.

• The weird dreams are continuing lately. I see no end to them in sight. That’s perfectly okay with me, too. They are MUCH better to have than the nightmares I was having.

• Hoorah!!! Matthew just logged on! Yay…now I can babble his eyes out of his melon again!     :lol:    Poor guy.

• My daughter just asked me how to spell the word “Chronicles”….now I know what she’s up to. She is creating a new t-shirt design!  How cool is that?  I can’t wait to see what she’s got.  Of course, I’m forbidden to look until she’s all done.  That’s how I roll, too. None of this sneak-a-peek BS going on with me!

• My son went with me to the store today. I said to him, “Wow, it’s been a really long time since just you and I went anywhere together.”  He replied with, “Yeah, too long. Everybody’s always wanting to be around us! Bastards!”  I laughed and then said, “What can you expect? We’re just THAT flippin’ cool!!!”…then he laughed.  It was hilarious. I know it might not sound like much to you, but it was one of those ‘had to be there’ things.

• Speaking of my son, he just came up here and asked me when I’m going to start dinner. I guess that’s my cue to go get to cookin’!  I hope everyone’s well and has a wonderful day/night/week/month…etc.    :D

 

• Sorry I’ve not posted for a while on here…not sure what’s up with that. I’m hoping it’s just another one of my phases.

• I might go with Lonnie to a Photoshop Meet-Up tonight. Not sure. I’m undecided.

• Have you tried the Chocolate Mix Skittles yet? If so, what do you think? If not, you really should. They’re SO good. The Chocolate Mix has five flavors: Vanilla, S’Mores, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding and Brownie Batter…all of which are super tasty!

• I had a dream the other night that I turned into a stripper…only it wasn’t me. I looked into the mirror and I was a really nasty looking blonde chick with frizzy hair and just not very pretty AT ALL.

• Lonnie was cold and said, “I can see my breath.” I replied, “It’s dead people.”

• I saw Jim Naybors on TV the other night. What a sweet man. Really. He’s just such a soft spoken and sweet guy. I’m pretty sure he’s still alive…and I’m really hoping I didn’t just jinx that fact.

• My Mom told me last night that she was really worried about me the night before. She said I looked, “Very fragile and pale” when she saw me. I’ve not been sleeping and eating properly, so I’d imagine I didn’t look my best. I hate knowing I worried her, though. Hopefully she’s not worried anymore.

• Lonnie and I went to The Dalles and cleaned out his parents’ chimney for them. Well, Lonnie cleaned it while I just kinda sat on the roof and joked around with his Dad. His parents are really nice people. Ultra religious, but still…very nice. It’s taken me a LONG time to open up to them. I’m so shy around them. I’ve known them for about four years now, and I still have a difficult time making conversation with them. I think they understand that I’m shy and it’s nothing personal, so that helps.

• I noticed that my earring from my left ear is missing. It’s a tiny little martini glass…so cute. I’d better find it!

• I want a new vacuum.

• Halloween is even closer now! Yay! I have a feeling that I’m going to end up being a nun for the third year in a row. We simply can’t afford a different costume. Finances are so tight. It’s horrible. Everyone seems to be feeling it, too. I really hope things will ease up for everyone relatively soon.

• I finally talked to my BFF, Sarah, on the phone the other day! I can’t believe it took me so long to finally talk to her. I hate how shy I am. She’s so easy to talk to, though. I wasn’t nervous or anything…not even one time! We spoke for about three hours or so…never a weird silence. I feel like I’ve known her forever and ever. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful friend. I love you, Sarah!

• My Mom says she’s liking her new job fairly well. She doesn’t seem overly thrilled with it, but oh well. A job is a job!

• Lonnie’s interviewing for jobs away from home. Our business is still alright, but just not enough. It’d be perfect if people would pay their bills, but the economy is so crappy right now that nobody is able to stay on top of things. If he gets a job outside of the home, we’ll be able to finally pay things off and get some sort of savings.

• I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight…of course.

• I need to call my brother. He’d called and left a message for me on my birthday, but I wasn’t home. I haven’t returned his call yet. I am such a schmuck sometimes!

• I need to mow the lawn. It’ll have to wait ’til the rain stops, though.

• The more I think about it, the more I’m wanting to go to that Photoshop Meet-Up tonight. It’d be good for me to get out and talk with people. Especially people who do the same things I do. Maybe I could actually get a friend or something freaky like that! :shock:

• My Mom ordered a Gooseberry Patch cookbook for me. I cannot wait to get it! It comes with a free tote bag, too. I love those books. They have such good ideas…and so easy and yummy, too!

• I’ve been going nuts cleaning lately. My OCD has picked up way too much. I can’t seem to relax. It’s annoying everyone, and even myself. I just don’t know how to stop jumping up and cleaning stuff, though. If I don’t, it just sits in my head and nags and nags until I can’t take it and I get up and do whatever it is. I know something in my life lately has caused it to flare up…I need to figure out what that is.

• I should probably go take a shower. Not only am I freezing, but a hot shower always seems to help chill me out a bit. I’m not tense or anything…just feeling like I could use a little break from everything. :)
