I want to have something to talk about too!!

There really isn't too much going on with me at the moment BUT, I am just going to post all sorts of randomness because I want to have something to say too!  When I have nothing to say, I don't get funny little comments, and when I don't get funny little comments, my in-box gets lonely.  So, therefore, for the sake of my in-box, you all will haev to deal with a bunch of randomness and if you feel like it, hit me up with a funny comment please.  Think of my in-box all alone.  Guilt trip.

. Lady bugs are obsessed with my office.  Not sure why.  I currently have three on my window, one flying around and several more who have met their untimely death in the light fixtures overhead.  Talking about that outloud makes me feel like my office is dirty but I swear it isn't! Just a breeding ground for lady bugs.  So odd.



. I read Dear John by Nicholas Sparks this weekend and you know, I didn't care for it too much.  That makes me sad because the trailer for the movie looks like it will be good but after reading the book, I don't really care to see it.  Has anyone else read the book?  I think I am just a book snob and I have certain expectations.  I hope the rest of you like it though and don't let me stop you from reading it.  It could be your next favorite book!



.  Grad school starts back up next week.  AH! I am taking nine hours and they are all face-to-face classes versus my usual all online courses.  I am excited and a little nervous to be honest.  They are night courses so A) I hope I don't fall asleep B) I hope I don't gain weight from missing my workouts C) I hope I am not putting too much on my plate and most importantly D) I hope it does not have a negative impact on my marriage.  Bret and I have a very strong relationship and it's only for a semester but still, I cannot help but to think about our time together when I am about to take a pretty big chunk of that away.

.  It is beginning to warm up some.  Yippee! It should be in the 50's today versus the 20's.  This makes me happy.  Cold I can handle, frigid, not so much.  No thank you.

.  I have gotten a chance to play several of you guys on Words with Friends and I hope you guys now agree that I am terrible at that game! My booty is truely getting kicked by you smart, smart women out there.  While yall are spitting out words like "Kleptomaniac," I saying stuff like "pea."  I mean honestly, where do you guys get this? Did yall grow up playing scrabble? I did not.  And I did awful on my SAT.  I blame somebody else for my lack of scrabble playing abilities.  BUT, I still enjoy it so that's all that really matters, yes?

.  I am waiting on a realtor to call so Bret and I can go check out this house:

We aren't looking to close on anything until the end of June but this house is empty at the moment and I really, really, really want to see the entire inside.  Want a sneak peak?


That's the living room complete with sun room leading out to the backyard, which has a deck.  Is it not the cutest little house ever?!  I keep telling myself I am not allowed to get my hopes up and that if somebody else buys it or if I think the rooms are too small then it's just God's way of telling us there is something better out there for me and Bret.  But for now, I want to have this house opened for me and I want to walk around and plan where my couch, Christmas Tree and China Hutch with go!

.  My sister-in-love, Mallory, and her boy-toy, Rusty, are coming into town this weekend to hang out with me and B and I am super excited!! We have been trying to get them up here for a while now so it will be fun to have a weekend together, just the four of us.  Now to come up with what kind of trouble I can get them into ;)




.  My Mom is applying for a job within her currently place of employment so wish her luck!  I know she will kick butt in her interview because well, she's just a kick butt type of woman!

.  American Idol starts back up tonight.  Yippee.  I must say, this will be my last year to watch American Idol.  I am just not going to be able to follow it without Simon.  Now, if everyone else would like to quit to and just leave Ellen as a single judge, then maybe.  Heck, through Portia on there too!


Happy Tuesday you guys!
I hope yall are having a wonderful day at home, work, playing, shopping, sleeping and just living!

what a post, you did have LOTS to say!!
the house looks really nice hun!
exciting that your SIL is coming into town, that will be fun! i bet she loves you for posting that picture! ha!
best of luck with this semester! i think it will make your relationship stronger. billy and i went through a few months like that where he was gone almost every night until 10:00 for hockey. it was hard but in the end worth it, just like it will be for you two.
i agree with you, after this season of AI i'm not watching ;)
have a great night hun!!

I do believe I beat you twice, however, I don't play words like Kleptomaniac, more like words like "sex", haha. Gotta love "x" because they are worth 8 points ;)

Anyway...love that HOUSE!

Brittany said...

Great post! I am very excited to watch idol as well!! Good luck with grad school. I'm sure things will go well. I too am all about the online classes, so this summer when I have my face-to-face classes it will be totally weird!! Enjoy your evening!

I just finished up 2 whole years of having class 2 nights a week until 10:00 pm - it's rough, but you can do it! Now that I'm finished with my MBA I appreciate quiet nights at home with my husband cooking dinner even more. You'll make it through the semester - and be closer to graduation! - and appreciate your time at home even more : )
