Packing & Still Anxious

I should totally be packing...instead here I am sitting at the computer (or in this case my tv...).  Waiting on the trusty 'ol iPhone to sync movies and whatnot, and then it will update it's new confangled software.  Here's hoping that goes well, otherwise I'll be annoyed.  Speaking of the trusty 'ol iPhone, Jeremy got me the international data plan, so I can pull up maps and whatnot in Russia...ok I MIGHT update my FB status once or twice too.  I'm getting excited to go, but it's just so overwhelming to think I'm going so far away without my husband.  He's said he's a little anxious about it and that of course he'll miss me, but I really think he is totally freaking out that I'm going well across the pond without him......those thoughts aren't helping me be less anxious. Oh well, I know I'm a smart, strong, well traveled girl, so I'll survive and have a great time while I'm there.  Well next time my little blog readers I'll post from Russia....they have WiFi there right....???? HAHAHA!

Anxious...

I am getting excited about going to Russia, but I am also really anxious.  Not only about traveling to a place where I have little to no grasp on the language, but I'm traveling without Jeremy.  That's really scary...I mean I don't mind doing stuff on my own, but traveling about Russia...??? I'm trying to be of the mindset that I am excited and I'll be experiencing amazing things....I'll let you know how that works...lol. In the meantime I have to get some serious landry done and pack most of my stuff.  The weather is looking rather nice, in the 60's-high 70's, chance of rain a couple of days, but otherwise looking forward to a temp 10 degrees cooler.

Home Alone

This weekend I'm home alone.  It's kinda weird because I haven't been home alone with Jeremy at of town in a long while.  (He's in Denver with the guys for Tim's bachelor party...they're fishing, staying in a cabin, and going to mass Sunday, I'm not worried about any hanky panky...LOL!)
Not sure what G-man and I'll do tonite...prolly just eat a sandwich and raw chicken (sandwich is mine) and watch some shows I've been saving for "girl time" on the good 'ol DVR.
Tomorrow I won't have to wonder about what I'm doing...I've got BIG plans! I'm gonna meet up with a friend that just moved to OK from San Fran area, haven't seen her in a year or so! And we are going to hit up the Farmer's Market.  After that I have a few more errands and then I'll be at home hosting my fabulous, Make-A-Wish Creative Memories open house.  Excited for my mom to come into town to scrapbook with me and a few friends!  Equally excited my Creative Memories business is doing well...here's hoping I get a few get togethers scheduled, so I can expand my customer base and maybe sign a new consultant or two! I'll update on Sunday prolly about how the wkend was. =)

I LOVE MY LIFE!

that is all, thanks!

Wordless Wednesday

(yep this is what I'm going with today...it's my life, what can i say?)

Today

Today = AHHHHHHHH!
Today = Too much to accomplish in 24 hours!
Today = No, we don't need a consistant schedule!
Today = LOTS OF MARTINIS TONITE!

Crazy Busy

So I am feeling rather overwhelmed today.  There is so much to appcomlish in the next two weeks, and for some reason I feel like I should have to do it all today.  Or at least prep for it all today, which is pretty much impossible.  Here's the list of problems...errr, I mean....fun things I have to do.

• Pick up bridesmaid's dress today.
• Give a presentation tomorrow for a Creative Memories event.
• Get kids and stuff ready for field trip to the Aquarium on Wed.
• Prep room for substitute, or lack there of, for my absence on Friday.
• Pack for Bub's wedding by Thurs. morning.
• Leave for Bub's wedding Thurs. after work.
• Attend Bridesmaid's dinner Thurs. evening in OKC.
• Dr. Appt. Friday morning in OKC.
• Friday run around like a crazy person prepping for Bub's wedding.
• Attend Rehearsal and dinner Fri. evening. Casual dress, swimsuit...not sure how I feel about that being the tradtional girl I am.
• Sat. is the big day, starting at 8am I'm busy.  That would be a whole 'nother list.

Then comes next week. At this point just the idea of having to squeeze in faculty mtg. and my allergy shot today after school is giving me a nervous tick.  That's all, thanks for listening to my rant. Pity party over....

Much Appreciated!

This week is teacher appreciation at school!  I love this week!  I comes at just the right time (which is when I want to rip my children's heads off!) and our PTA is amazing! I can't believe it's only Wednesday; I already feel so spoiled...but not spoiled enough to say it's enough LOL! Monday they set up a "coffee bar" for us in the lounge and made us lattes and whatnot with little pastries- so cute!  Yesterday my boss bought/made lunch for the entire staff with these delicious sandwich spirals (is that what they are called!?!?!), fruit & cheese trays, and one of the best pasta salads I've ever eaten.  What can I say she is AMAZING! Today we have lunch provided by Charleston's in the library where the PTA ladies always make it look so nice (and not like a school library) in there.  Also, today the bathroom have been redone!  You're probably like, so..... But our bathroom are so sterile and "school" like, so some parents painted the walls this wonderful yellow and hung sweet pictures, and apparently tomorrow the cabinet that's usually in there has being refinished/painted and will be returned along with some GOOD soap, yummy smell good stuff, and CHARMIN! That's right no more standard issue school sandpaper. =)
Anyways, I just wanted to spread the love about what I love about Teacher Appreciation Week.  I will update further about tomorrow and Friday and any cute gifts I have received!

Perplexed

I am honestly perplexed by the information I just found out (or lack of information).  I have a good friend that is preggo and her baby shower is soon, so I was going to be on the ball and get her shower gift asap.  Well the invitation didn't say where they were registered, and I don't want to be annoying to the mom-to-be by calling and asking so what does one do....well I logged onto the good 'ol computer and went to all the baby place websites I could think of in town, and none of them have her or him registered.  So here is the perplexing parts, how are they NOT registered?  what do we get them? I am totally thrown off by this because they don't seem like the kind of people to NOT be excited to pick stuff out, get new stuff, etc... I think something must have physically kept them from going to a store to pick stuff out LOL! I mean if I were preggo, you can bet your bippy that I will be in PotteryBarn Kids as soon as physically possible!!! Like a kid in a candy store...I don't care that they haven't registered- that's not it- I just am not sure what to get them now without it appearing random, and I just want to get them something they will love, the baby will love, they wiill find useful, etc...I don't want our gift to sit in a closet and never be used LOL!  So what can a girl do but to call and bother the mom-to-be by leaving a lovely voicemail saying, "Hello friend, I was wondering if you were registered anywhere for that sweet baby of yours, or if not was there something specific you guys were wanting, or a color scheme-theme for the room that we've got goin' on...if you could help me out with any of that, it would be great! Thanks, love ya, talk to ya later." Hopefully she calls me back with some info or it may be a very random yet entertaining baby shower gift! (But I mean really...registering is a great part of multiple things in life...get scanning!)

Guinness & Spinach

Guinness was given fresh spinach tonite because he's been eating grass this evening...figured he'd like a green grasslike veggie that wouldn't make him puke lol.  He took the huge leaf and ran away from his bowl and started to shred it on the carpet like he does with fluff, dryer sheets, etc...You can just envision our huge dog so carefully using his paws and teeth to shred the spinach...once he finally figured out he could eat it and that it tasted good he was all about it!  Anyways, he makes for a good chuckle and watching Jeremy chase him while he has a huge spinach leaf in his mouth is pretty funny too.  Oh and apparently Jeremy just told him he was like Popeye & "Go tell Mom you want to be like Popeye." Think we need a child? LOL!
