home sweet home!

i'm back! i know not gone long, but still....

we had so much fun on our trip lots of pictures were taken & much fun had by all. I however, do not have the pictures uploaded from my camera yet - so stay tuned for that!

We were in Port Clinton/Put-in-Bay - and it was really fun, almost like being at the ocean it was so peaceful and pretty up there. We took this crazy animal safari ride - and pretty much my entire family is a bunch of chickens since everytime a large animal would come up to our car we would roll our windows up b/c we didn't want them to get in the car! [although my little sister did get drooled on my a big dear or moose or something!] Today we went to P-I-B, it was a little chilly but that area is also really fun. Plenty to eat and drink that is for sure.....

I really don't have too much else to say - so I will update tomorrow with some fun pictures, because who doesn't love picturs!

tag you're it!

So I got a tag from VA Blondie @ Do without Doing yesterday and i wanted to do it, as this is my first ever tagging experience!

Rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.

fair enough huh?!

My random things:

1. i have this thing about socks - i hate them, can't wear them. They make my feet feel like they are suffocating. I hardly even wear them in the winter.
2. speaking of feet, I happen to think I have the cutest feet ever! no really, they are adorable and so nicely proportioned to the rest of me - as well as an A+ toe:foot ratio....
3. I have really enjoyed the house to myself this week, however, I do not enjoy the bed to myself - I haven't gotten a "good" nights sleep in a few days
4. My younger sister looks more like my twin - than my twin sister does.
5. I really enjoy working out, however I have been the most lazy unmotivated person for about a month [or 2 or 3] or so. When I do workout - I feel great and am so glad I did, I just need to psyc myself up for it these days.
6. My dress for my mom's wedding is really cute & I like it a lot. BUT I am a proud card-carrying member of the ittybittytittycommittee and that part of the dress does not at all like me back.

Now for my taggees

**am going out of town this weekend, will post hair [and assuredly lots of other] pictures when I return! [i know you are waiting anxiously over this!]

Bachelorette in the house....

ok well kinda, at least for the week! Mike left yesterday for his trip to NY - all lacrosse all the time. Am I sad he is gone? of course! Do I wish I was with him on this trip? No, not really.... I would love to visit Lake Placid - but on my own time, with my own agenda ;) I know he will have a great time however so that is good. I am actually going on a little trip of my own this weekend - a last ho-rah if you will for my mom! Myself, mom, and 2 sisters are going on a little weekend getaway, it should be pretty fun!

Now - about this bachelorette business.... what is a girl to do with the house all to herself?

Well yesterday I went to the zoo with my sisters

and then came home and just vegged - picked up here and there, boring!

Today - i am getting my hairs cut! [oh i hear the jealousy raging through each of you] and am having dinner with my BFF. Those are all the "real" plans I have. I have one job app to send in - I really like the sounds of the position so cross your crossables! I also might go to the library - I have pretty much finished the books I have here, more summer reading for me!

So - sorry for the boring update, but when I throw my wild party b/c i have the house to myself - I will definatly let you all in on it ;)

productivity at its finest

so, today should have been my first day of school.
i can't decide if i am sad, relieved, angry, happy or if i really don't care that i am not there today. and that i won't be there any day ever.

what today is - however - is productive. i have a lot i want to get done around the house and a few errands i want to run because the hubs is leaving for NY tomorrow for a big lax tourny. I will miss him. I also am not entirely sure what I am going to do with myself when he is gone. Each day I try to find things to do... and it is getting harder & harder. Not to say there aren't things to do, because there always are, but I want to be doing productive things, productive things that involve earning $$. I am not giving up on this search however, each day I apply for at least 2 new positions. Also I decided that since I seem to have so much tme on my hands, I should do something worthwhile with it, like volunteer somewhere. So I am on the hunt as well for a place to spend some QT about once every week or so, pref. a place that works with children.

I still can't seem to make a decision on what to do with my life, I think I decide one day, and then I look for other options the next. I made a deadline of Oct 1 - by then I will have to know what I am doing in order to prepare for it, whatever IT is. and by Dec. 1 I will want to have everything in order for that IT i decided on. I work best under guidelines (i think it goes along with the list thing).

oh, one other thing -- my dear old AF is still MIA. that lady never shows up on time these days. i am not motivated to POAS, not even a little, which is wierd considering i have a small stash of them in my bathroom. i'm sure she'll come around eventually - she always does.

My Husband Rocks

I saw this on Jill's blog a few weeks ago and wanted to show you all how much my husband rocks too!!

Why does he rock this week --- because he is working his butt off everyday to make things work based on our [my] recent life changes. And not only has he been working to provide for us, but he has been working to help out both of our families. His dad recently had his knee replaced and he has been doing a lot to help them out. My mom is trying to sell her house and he does so much to help her out when she needs it. He has just been really starting to step up to the plate and it's wonderful to see.
