I got called out.

So The Husband has a job where he wears a uniform and carries a gun. I go to the sam dry cleaners every week, sometimes twice a week. It cracks me up! Theres some hoodrat that works there that LOVES him. I told him we can be sister wives if he wants to, but I get to be the bitchy first wife. He's not down. Anyway, I do the same thing every time I drop his stuff off. I count what I have and check every pocket for bullets. (Yay, being an officer's wife). We joke and laugh and I leave.

When I pick up its a different story. I am ALWAYS in a crappy mood because where this place is, its in a weird shopping center. I'm almost always picking up during rush hour on this stupid road with all these stupid cars........okay. I'm getting riled up just thinking about it, but you get the point. Its gated off from this shopping center so you can only enter one way...until I got smart! I park in the shopping center and walk around the gate since its so much easier to get out of that parking lot then the actual dry cleaners parking lot. All is peachy keen, I get the stuff, we joke, and I walk out side.....

Someone yelled at me "_ _ _ _ THE POLICE! OINK OINK!"




Wow.

I laughed it off and smiled the biggest smile at them , knowing one day they'll need something and I know who will be showing up. Or my husband will be arresting his dumb ass. :)

What happened to a little respect? Come on now. I'm a lady. Is it really necessary to yell that at a stranger....and a woman at that? I just dont get it.

shopping..for a car

I didn't plan on car shopping this weekend...buuuuuuuuuuuut...

Isn't that how it always happens?

The husband and I decided that we'd just 'car shop' online this weekend. That turned into getting the edmonds app and the kelley blue book app fo our phones and we compared MPGs and safety ratings and all that junk for 3 hours yesterday. I have NEVER had a brand new car...actually I have never owned a car that wasn't more than 3 years old and I'm totally ready to have one!

I think I've decided on a Jetta.


Its got everything I need and its definitely the right price for the size. I don't know how easy its going to be getting rid of my SUV.

This is what I drive now..



a 2003 Ford Escape.

I love this car! Seriously it is so fun to drive, an it gets okay gas milage and ....its just been good to me. Here's my problem. I need to get $500+ work done it, needs  a new battery, and a new windshield. I've just been putting all this off.

Its really hard to put this much money into a car that we planned on trading in at the end of the year anyway.



ohhhhhhhh the decisions.

c2k5

I've started this once before, but have once started it again. I've been doing p90x, just not the whole 6 days a week. More like 4. But whatever..way better than I had been doing! About 5 years ago I hit this same road block.. I just wanted to get in shape. It wont happen if someone else encourages it (sorry, honey!) or asks me to join them. Im so dang stubborn that it only works when I WANT to. Well ladies and gentlemen...


I WANT TO!


I've been doing it for a few weeks, but haven't really been that motivated. I just realized our Florida trip is coming up quick..3 months and counting. I don't want to be bikini ready (Lord knows I've never been one to wear one...except in Mexico. Thats a diferent story. :) ) but I want to feel happy in everything I wear. thats all I want, really. So I'm doing C2K5 (Couch to 5K). My New Years resolution (one of them at least) was to complete this fully and run two 5ks. I can do this, yall.

Hummingbirds

I'm slightly obsessed with hummingbirds..and poppie flowers. For all different reasons, but lets start with this...


Can you believe they're so small? Though I disagree with this fool putting his hand on their nest, its great to see the comparison nonetheless.

I was made ..I mean I bought on my own will, the cutest hummingbird feeder in the whole world and I cannot wait to put it up.  Of course, I'm doing this instead.


EDIT: Literally, I couldn't wait. I was looking up nectar recipes (Which is 4 parts water to 1 part table sugar. Don't use red food dye!!)

Beanie Babies...

If you only knew how many of these I have in my office right now you'd probably either laugh or feel very sorry for me. The Husband's WONDERFUL Grandma loves to love us. We love to love her too. We like to have a garage sale at my sister's house 2 times a year. She always finds stuff to give us to sell and never once anything in return. SO SWEET! Her lovely friend has helped out this time and passed out 4 or 5 boxes of beanie babies. My equally as wonderful, mouther in law tried to go through them but wasn't too sure so the last day or so I ahve been trying to go through them. I mean, I don't want to sell one for $1 at a garage sale and it be woth $500 or something. But I will say, they are consuming me.



Do you remember when people thought they were going to get famous off these things? Well one of those people is my husband...in 2011. SERIOUSLY. He's always looking for a quick buck, this guy. For the past few months it has been playing the lottery, which I LOVE to do. Come on...Bingo queen right here!







So, what does he do when he sees all these lovely stuffed creations? Besides laying on the floor and making a beanie baby angel (which yes, he did), he decides do look all of them up on eBay with me. These things are going for .99 cents...$3 with free shipping. SERIOUSLY?!  There goes our chances of retiring early.


This stuff is serious, yall. I don't want to scare yall with my severe knowledge of these things, because Lord knows I've learned too much in the last 48 hours, but these things are super cute but worth NOTHING.
Remember having your mom drive you to EVERY McDonalds in a  30 mile radius? Wait, that was just me and my sister? Oh. Well we did. We loved them, not so much because they were 'valuable' but because it made us happy. They're cute and sweet and my mom didn't have to cook dinner..or lunch...or breakfast.  Then for a little bit people were making that money, selling them and all that. And now..these people that have put so much into aren't even able to sell 1000 for $20,000.
 WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO!?



I

New blog layout!

I never thought I'd be so happy to redo my blog!

I was in yet another crappy mood today but decided instead of being a big old grump, that I'd do something that I WANT to do. What a concept huh?

We went to get our taxes done today..I HATE getting our taxes done. I always feel like we are going to owe money or some crap. Or they'll tell us we will get $1900 back and then turn around and say, actually itll be $544. OH WAIT, that happened! So irritating! I did the worst thing ever, and had spent every last dime in my mind. BLAH! Now that I'm writing this out, I understand I'm a brat and I should be happy that we are getting something back and I'm not having to pay. So right now... I am very happy we don't owe. :)


I'm quitting this 'tude and moving on to Sunday...

blah blah blah

Can I make reservations for a Pity Party for 1 please?

I dont know if this is from having a really crappy weekend with the husband, or being 'that week', or what, to be totally honest..regardless I'm in the crappies of crappy moods in crappyville.

Lately I've been ridiculously hard on myself and feeling like I'm not doing enough. I've been fighting  (nothing seriously, yall) non-stop with the husband..and ..and..and...

I'm so ready to have a baby.

I think this is all baby fever and hopefully by the end of the year we will be expecting. But damnit I want it now!  I'm so glad I finally sat down and wrote a blog about this. I, now, know 7 people that are pregnant and 5 that have delivered in the past 4 months. I am so ridiculously envious of them. I wish it was us.

I need to snap out of this 'funk' I've been in and get over it. Things happen when they happen and as long as I'm doing the best in all I do, I'm succeeding.

BLAH blah BLAH.

Or maybe I just need a vacation..? :)
