A Day of Shopping

Yesterday was a very busy and hecktic day... I hadn't been to work in 2 days and boy, did I come back to a messy desk and a bunch of stuff to do.  Plus, I came back to find out that my office workers have started a "No Cursing" rule... And whenever we do say a naughty word, we have to put a stupid quarter in a "Curse Cup".  Um, yeah, I didn't sign up for that... So, see if they could get a quarter out of me!  I know a few good things to do with a quarter instead of putting it in a "Curse Cup"...

So anyways, after a very busy day at work, I decided to meet my friend at the mall and do a little shopping.  I had to return a pair of khaki capri's that I had purchased at The Gap.  See, I had went to store and found a pair of black capri's that I really liked.  I tried them on and they fit wonderfully!  So, I figured I could grab the same size and style in a different color and they'd be fine too... Oh no!  Thats what I get for thinking.  When I got home and tried them on, they didn't fit!  Ugh!  Make me mad... So, I had to return them... Instead, I found a pair of jean chropped pants and two tank tops in very yummy colors...

Then it was off to the Vans store.  I also had to return a pair of sandals that my honey had purchased for me for Mothers Day (yeah, so, I'm a little late)... Well, I've been with the man for almost 4 years... You would think he'd know my shoe size... But no, he bought me a size 9 instead of a 10... So I traded in the 9 for a 10 in a different color and changed a pair of other flip flops in for a cute pink purse... hehe... Can't stay away from those purses!  Oh yeah.  I also bought the Princess a pair of black and pink shoes that look like mine and her aunties... She was so excited when she saw them!  It was too cute to see her go, "Ooohhh Pretty".

Then when I got home, my hubby wanted to go to Home Depot and Target.  Boy, I swear we can't get out of Target under $100.  We both figured we would have made it yesterday... But we ended up with 3 DVD's in the basket... So yeah, that killed it! 

I guess yesterday was nothing more than a "waste money day".  Oh well, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!  Nah, we really didn't spend too much money... But sometimes it just happens.

The weather is finally starting to act like Summer.  Its only going to be the mid-80's today, but by Monday it will be in the triple digits!  Oh yeah baby.  Just in time for our pool to be done.  Hopefully on Tuesday... We'll be jumping into our new pool!!  Yippee!!!

Well, its time for me to get started on working... Gotta make the mula... TTFN

Whoo....

Whoo.... Its been a few days... Okay, its been more like 7 days since my last entry.  In those 7 days, I've been to Tahoe and done a little gambling and saw for the first time, a stripper perform... I've stayed  home sick and just basically stayed home to spend time with my husband and daughter...

Its been an eventful weekend/week.  I'll start with my trip to Tahoe for my friend's bachelorette party!  It took us only 3 hours to make our way from our friends house to Tahoe... So, thats pretty good time!  We basically didn't do too much besides drink and hang out.  Friday night we did go to a club at one of the casino's and danced... And of course we secretly got a stripper for our friend and had him show up on Saturday night!  Boy-o-boy was this man a hottie!  He put on a pretty good show too... Specially since we had to be super quiet since we had already gotten one warning from the hotel asking us to be quiet!  So can you imagine 6 girls (from the ages of 21-23) being quiet as this hot man grinds his hot body up against all of us!  Oh wow.... It was definetly hard!  Whoo... But was it fun!

And of course, we all wake up on Sunday morning, feeling like crap.  Sleeping in a hotel room always makes my nose stuffy and my throat hurt.  So, it instantly brought my cold back on me!  And I was feeling sooo much better.

So, that brings me to Monday.  I did go to work, but when I started to feel sick, and when my Mother-in-law said I looked like crap, I decided to go home.  But of course, we had to medicine at home, so I had to stop and get some... And stopping at the grocery store for medicine turned into full-blown shopping... I figured since my hubby actually had a few days off, that he did deserve some good meals.  So, instead of just stopping for cold medicine, I figured out how to spend $150 in groceries!

So yeah, I did basically nothing but sit around and feel better on Monday and Tuesday!  I did cook dinner though :)  And help take care of the Princess!  Oh!  Our pool got tiled yesterday!  It looks sooo pretty!  I can't wait for it to be done!  Only a few more days! 

Oh, 9 more days until Vegas!  Heck ya baby...

Well, I gotta go work... Plenty to do with being gone for a couple of days... TTFN

Getting Ready and a Visit from "Boo"

Well, I'm trying to get ready to go for my trip to Tahoe... Key word is TRYING.  With the Princess running around applying lotion to herself and the dog bouncing off the walls (ok, not literally)... Its kinda hard to get stuff done.

Not only do I have to get my stuff packed... And for a different climate mind you... Its already in the high 90's here and I have to pack for weather in the mid-70's... But I have to pack for Miss Ro too.  Gotta get her and her stuff together for the weekend at her YaYa and Grandpa's (Daddy has to work this weekend, or he'd be taking care of her). 

And let me tell you!  It doesn't seem like she minds me going either ;)  Spending a weekend at her YaYa's and Grandpa's means she will be waited on hand and foot.  Plus, the Princess knows that her Uncle Boo (my brother) will be home this weekend.  All I've heard out of her today since I picked her up is "Boo Home? Me see Boo?"... She can't wait to see him... I've put a pic of Princess Rowan and her Boo on here... Aren't they sweet together?

Well, I guess I've stalled enough... Gotta get laundry out of the dryer to see what I'll be taking with me!  Have a wonderful weekend to anyone who visits this journal!

Daddy's Girl

So, the above picture is of Princess Rowan... or the new name we have started to call her, "Daddy's Girl".  It seems that since she has hit the age of 2, Princess has been permantely attached to her Daddy's hip.  He doesn't mind of course.  He has been waiting for this day... He used to see her wanting Momma so much, he likes this new wanting of Daddy.

Her being such a Daddy's Girl is how I actually got her to leave her YaYa's and go with me to the grocery store.  She was being totally out of control until I mentioned that Daddy was going to be home and we needed to go to the grocery store to make him dinner... First words out of her mouth were, "Dada home? Dada num-nums?".  Then wham-o... She got dressed so fast yesterday I practically had to race out of the door to catch her!

The hubby requested a "Really Good Dinner" last night... I figured he spent the day working so hard training that I would be a good wife and make him something he really enjoys.  I hadn't made it in a while, so I thought I would whip up a good dinner of Chicken Fried Steak, Mashy Potatos, fresh Green Beans and corn.  Yum Yum... A fav all around.

Nothing much happened last night... Did some packing for Tahoe (1 more day)... And went to bed early early... Gotta go work for the money... TTFN...

A Visit to See the Prince...

I thought I'd mention this... And how silly (hence my mood) my mommy is...

She is going to a Prince concert tonight in San Jose!  She was invited by friends and she thought it would be fun to go...

When I asked her what songs she knew, she looked at me with a blank look on her face... Then about 3 minutes later she yells, "Party Like its 1999"!!!!!  LMAO Mom. 

I love you... You silly woman you....

(lets see if she'll be watching the Princess tomorrow??)

Just Another Day

Its just another day at the pickle factory... Everyone is stressed because the State is coming for an inspection... We'll pass, but after they put us through the ringer.  And after everyone in the office goes a little bit coo-coo.

Well, I got a few things done yesterday after work.  I got the bachelorette gift for my friend that I have been pondering over... I didn't want to get anything too naughty.  But then I kept thinking that its a bachelorette party and that I had to get something naughty for her... So I ended up getting her a shot glass shaped as a pee-pee (trying to use proper language), buttons that have a bunch of sayings (like "Bride to Be" and "Buy Me A Shot, I'm Tying The Knot"), a shot glass on a string to wear around her neck that says "Buy Me A Shot, I'm Tying The Knot"... And two naughty things for her and her hubby-to-be... A French Feather Tickler and Body Cream... Yum Yum!  I hope she doesn't get too embarrassed, she is kinda shy about the whole "sex" thing... So hopefully the presents don't push her over the edge ;)

Only 2 days until Tahoe!  Whoo-Hoo...

I also went to Gap yesterday... Spent way too much on too little.  I bought 2 pairs of shpants (cropped pants), both the same size, and two cute shirts.  I tried on a pair of the pants there and loved the way they fit and looked.  So I grabbed a second pair in another color, but then when I tried them on when I got home, they didn't fit!  Same size and supposedly the same color, but they don't fit!!!  What the heck is that???  Ugh!  So now I have to go back and return them and get something else... I'll just find a pair of pants in my size that actually fit well enough.

Ugh Ugh Ugh!

Then I went to the Disney Store.  I could spend so much money at that place... And in fact I did.  I bought the Princess a Christmas present already, a jewelry box that has the Disney princesses in it... Oh So Cute!  Matches her room perfectly!  And another little outfit... Pink with Princess written on it... So cute So cute.

The hubby was busy at home working on our pool!  Yippee~ Soon to be done.  Hopefully by the end of the month we'll be swimming!  So much fun!  I'm glad that he had time off to work on it.  But then of course he had to get his stuff together for training for today.  They were supposed to have a mock-call out for their training... But its a good thing they didn't get called out at like 3am... I would have never been able to go back to sleep!

Well, I've got a million things to do today... Both at work and after... TTFN

Remembering...

Happy late Memorial Day to all... And a BIG Thank You to all that served our Great Nation... Thanks Grandpa for all the time you spent away from your loved ones during WWII and the Korean War... Thanks to you all who are now serving us and keeping us safe in our homeland (military, police and fire) and those who are serving overseas... And a BIG thank you to all the family (wives, children, mother and fathers) of those who served or are serving... I know what it is like to worry about your family.

Everyday I have a least one person to worry about... Will they return home to our family after work?  Will they be okay?  I just pray everyday to have my husband, father, brother-in-laws (yes, all are in law enforcement) all return to us and their families.... Ugh... Can't worry too much or I'll never sleep, but you always dread phone calls late at night.

Anyways... This weekend has been long, yet fun...  Sunday was spent at my best friends college graduation party.  I'm so proud of her!  It only seems like yesterday, we were hating each other of Freshman year in high school.  Yeah, we couldn't stand each other... But look at us now, we are best friends and she was even my maid of honor in my wedding... The wonders of the world ;)  Congradulations Amy!  We are so proud of you and love you...

Then Memorial Day was spent at my In-laws.  What fun we had.  Swimming and talking... Eating and drinking too much... Some more swimming.  It would have been nicer if I still didn't have this darn Summer Cold... But what can you do, make the best of it!  Everyone was there... All the brothers, the wives and kiddies... My mom and some friends... It was a really nice day too at 94 degrees!  Perfect swimming weather!

Only 3 days to Tahoe!  Whoo-hoo!  And 17 days to Vegas... A double WHOO-HOO!  Well, time to get to work... Gotta make that money... TTFN
