It's August. Can you believe it? Just one year ago we were newly engaged and getting ready for Montana and Knoxville. We forgot to celebrate our 1-year of engagement. Oopsie!
Well, the lists are made and I think I'm ready for this weekend. I've got the diaper cakes made, Gram & Gramps present is here, I've got menus planned and helpers assigned. Today I have to get decorations, a new dress, and order balloons. I really hope everything turns out nice. I am going to attempt to make 6 quiches tonight. Hehe. I bet they don't get finished. I have to go get the kids a pack n' play. Can't forget that. Ah, I'm really not stressing about it. No one would notice anyway.
Have I told you that the wedding nightmares have started? They're stupid and annoying. I have had two dreams that T has left me at the altar. The first time he told me I was fat and I make everyone around me miserable and the second time he showed up in ugly clothes and told me he couldn't do it and walked away. I told him about them and he just looks at me like wtf is wrong with you. I'm sure it happens to every bride. I ain't every bride though, this caca needs to go away.
I've got phone calls to make and corsages to order so I better get back to it. Happy weekend!

friday fun #25
From Friday's Feast, I haven't done this one in a bit...
Have a great weekend! I'm finally going to watch Sex and the City today and I'm super excited.
Appetizer
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist or a pessimist? Um, ya - if you've followed this blog at all, you can tell I'm a tad bit pessimistic about pretty much everything. Unless I'm giving advice and them I'm all opti.
Soup
What is your favorite color of ink to write with? Black, it's all I can use at work so it's pretty much all I have. And yes, I steal pens from work, we have a box full of them from drug reps.
Salad
How often do you get a manicure or pedicure? Do you do them yourself or go to a salon and pay for them? I give myself manis and pedis almost every week. I've never had anyone else touch my nails.
Main Course
Have you ever won anything online? If so, what was it? Not yet... *note to self - go check COPW and see if I won a Zune yet.
Dessert
In which room in your house do you keep your home computer? Well, I live with The Roomies and they keep the computer in the dining/living room. In a week, Toddles and I have will have our own place and we'll keep it in the den of our apartment.

maybe i'm just boring...
Nah... Have actually been a busy bee, that's what Summertime brings. That was the longest I've gone with blogging. Oopsie!
Hi anyone that's still checking for updates. I've had a ton of stuff going on... Where to start?
My honey is moving home. In 10 days. I absolutely cannot believe that the time I've been waiting for, 3 years in the making, is finally about to happen. He told his boss straight up yesterday, "I'm moving on the 20th, job or no job." Can you believe it?!?!?!?!! We're crossing our fingers that the final answer on him working from home is going to be positive today. It's unbelievable but true. We also have a backup plan if his current job falls through... A company he applied and interviewed for in February contacted him last week and there is a possibility that an opening has become available and they said he is a "viable candidate" for the position.
What else you ask? Since hubby-to-be is moving home and we've made it this long without living together, I've been looking at apartments for him. Now, I have no idea how we are going to be able to NOT stay together EVERY night until the wedding, but we're going to try. Yes, I am a good future-wife, I will continue to live with my in-laws until the wedding. ACK! I cannot believe I've agreed to this, and it is completely possible that I may change my mind in a month, but that's the plan for now.
Speaking of apartments... Do you know how much I hate them? I've gotten spoiled over the past 5 years. I had a huge 2400 sq ft house, then I moved into my super cute "finding Tara" house for 3 years, and now I'm living in my own "wing" at the in-laws. I look at apartments and I hate the dingy little things - the countertops, the carpet, the closets. They all pretty much suck but like T said, it's only temporary. I keep forgetting that we have a foosball table (not TaraTot approved) so we have to get a pretty good-sized 2 bedroom and the only ones we can really afford are old. Yuck.
I haven't told anyone this other super exciting news... I haven't smoked since Saturday night. My best friend's mom starts radiation for throat cancer (40 year smoker) and I am trying my damnedest to quit so I don't end up like her. I am too young and too beautiful to continue harming myself like that. And it's really not that great. I've done well so far, the cravings have been minimal, but I haven't gone out yet or done anything that would tempt me. I have actually made myself stay home because all of my friends smoke and it would be too easy to pick one up.
I found a really great support group for endometriosis and I have been dealing with a lot of girlie issues lately. Won't go into detail about that but let me tell you, have sympathy on anyone you know with endo. It's horrible and awful and painful, and you cannot understand it unless you have it. Ladies, it's not in your head. The one thing that makes us a woman can also make us more miserable than any other thing in the world. That's my two cents on that for today.
Are you ready for the wedding update? Four months and fifteen days. I think I'm going to put a counter up on the side, but when I see one, it really makes my hands sweat.
I'm still playing soccer, except our season has been screwed up with power outages and such. We have a double header this weekend, hopefully we'll kick some ass in our new league. I'm also still working out. I am up to 2 miles on the eliptical in 20 minutes, which is pretty damn amazing if you ask me. I tried it outside on the track behind the house and I still did 2 mi/20 mins but I couldn't run the whole thing, I thought I broke my lung. Just more inspiration to quit smoking. At first I could only 1.25 miles in 20 mins so I've already improved greatly. I look better now than I have in a long time. I curl 40 lbs, no problems and I can finally do a damn pushup. Boy style. Word up!
Okay, time for a celebratory luncheon for my long ass, 7 years of wonderfulness at this J O B that I love so much. Blah. New restaurant though - I'll let ya know how it is.
I'm going to be better about blogging, I promdiggityomise.

neglected bloggity blog
It's that time of year where every weekend fills up... And almost every week night too. And then I forget about TTEAL. So, what have I been up to you ask? I've been to a double-header baseball game, the lake to see my Mama, watched every show saved on the DVR, played soccer (injured at that), made the best waffles ever, and got tons of laundry done - all in 3 days. This week is just beginning too. Tonight I have another soccer game, tomorrow I have bunco, Wednesday is blank right now, Thursday I have a graduation to attend, Friday is blank, and Saturday I'm throwing a bday/poker party for one of the Roomies. I think I thrive on this stuff though. I'd be a very bored and lonely lady if I didn't have things to do.
Speaking of things, kind of... Okay, so no one warned me about the wedding nightmares. We're down to 5 months and 13 days. Yikes! Last night I dreamt that T decided the day before the wedding he didn't want to get married. And on top of that the rental place kept screwing things up, annnnnnnd he found a cute little blonde twit that he wanted to date. It was one of those awful dreams that I couldn't get out of either, like you wake up and go right back into it. Those suck something bad. And then they really ruin your day once you remember everything. I've got my catering taken care of, invitations are here and perfect, my dress should be in this week, and I just have to find a DJ that I like. I'm on the ball and feel really good about everything. It's just crazy how things are flying by but I'm really glad we didn't do this any faster because I wouldn't make it to the altar, they'd be checking me into the mental ward for obsessiveness.
I cooked a little this weekend and I realized how much I miss making dinner and baking. I really only get to cook the good stuff when The Roomies are gone. I don't like being in someone else's kitchen, ya know?
Everytime Toddles and I eat waffles I have to order a side of sausage, I have a bite of sausage with each bite of waffle. So I keep saying that I'm going to make my own waffles and put sausage in them. Oh. My. God. They were just as delightful as I expected. I browned some breakfast sausage and crumbled it up into small pieces. Then I added it to plain old Bisquick made for waffles and poured into the new waffle iron I went to 3 stores to find. I ended up eating 3* of them because they were so tasty. Shortly after that, I went into a hypoglycemic coma because of all the syrup. Totally worth it.
*3 little square Eggo sized waffles, not giant round ones, thanks Mike.
I also made pizza this weekend. I bought the dough because dough is a pain in the arse to make without my bread machine. I used Gorgonzola, roma tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. It was good, a little salty for me. I think I'll add some spinach to it tonight when I reheat it.
I almost forgot it was Menu Plan Monday... Ch-ch-check it out.
Breakfast: whole wheat English muffin and a poached egg.
Lunch: either leftovers or a spicy black bean patty and a frozen steamed veg pack.
Snack: Kashi bar or apple
Dinner
Monday: leftover pizza
Tuesday: bunco night - cheesy olive bread (thanks P Dub!)
Wednesday: spicy turkey empanadas
Thursday: pinto and cheddar patties, salad
Friday: whole grain penne with ground turkey and marinara
Saturday: snacky stuff - it's poker night
Sunday: lasagna - I've been craving it for 3 weeks and I want to make it for the fam

friday fun #22
The Feast was back up today - yay!
Got big plans this weekend? I don't... The niece and nephew are staying the night tonight, hope they're not too wild. Hitting the gym. Taking niece and nephew to lunch with Gramma. Going flower bed shopping with BFF at the nursery. Maybe some margarita time tomorrow night. I think that's it... Second boring ass weekend in a row. Oh well, the next one will totally make up for it.
Have a good one!
Appetizer
Name a color you find soothing. Green - in all forms except limey, electric green.
Soup
Using 20 or less words, describe your first driving experience. Father's Day, 1991. Grandpa wanted me to move his truck and I rammed it into the garage.
Salad
What material is your favorite item of clothing made out of? Cotton, the magic of our lives...
Main Course
Who is a great singer or musician who, if they were to come to your town for a concert, you would spend the night outside waiting for tickets to see? Good ques, I'd say Madonna, Beastie Boys, or Portishead.

friday fun #20
I did just about everything I mentioned that was on my plate for last weekend, less the two giant T's I had to cover in flowers. Did you know that cutting with scissors for over two hours will give you hellacious cramps and leave bruises on that thumb muscle thing? I found that out when making my precious little felt bows for my centerpieces last weekend. I was a regular little Suzy Homemaker. I did the bows, the flower balls (I really don't like calling them that), made two casseroles, and a delish apple pie for a friend's father. Cooking makes me so happy! I'm going to try to make ribs this weekend, I found a copycat recipe for Chili's and you know they can't be that bad if there's a song for the food, right?
This week I taught myself how to embroider. It's kind of relaxing and makes me feel like sitting in front of the tube (hmm... they don't have tubes anymore) I mean the plas, feel like less of a loser because I'm actually doing something productive and creative. I'll have to put pics up of my awesome work. I'm doing two big pieces this weekend, one is a pinup girl and the other is this cool fish design.
Guess what else? I started running this week. My nice little diet isn't working so it's time to get off my hiney and do something. I ran twice already (walk a mile, run a mile) and I'm going again today. It makes me feel good, except when I'm running into the gawddangawful Oklahoma wind. It will seriously take your breath away. All in all, it has been a spectacular week.
Soooo... Honeybuns is coming home and we have nothing planned for the weekend. Oh yeah, he's going to the grocery store (gasp!) to stock up on stuff for the upcoming Kill Ugly Birds (turkey) trip. You know what? Guys are funny... He gripes about me spending $100 on 7 shirts, a sweater, and a trench coat but he wants to go buy a fugly fake turkey for $70. Which one is more reasonable to you? That's what I thought... I kind of already won this argument because he killed a bird last year without a over-priced foam decoy, therefore no argument. The friends that have that ugly bird thing haven't killed one yet. Hmpfh.
Guess it's time for the meme... Going back to my fav, Friday's Feast.

What does the color dark green make you think of? Spinach... My favorite veggie!
Soup
How many cousins do you have? I know for a fact that I have 8 first cousins, as for 2nd/3rd cousins - there are hundreds. My gma had 13 brothers and sisters... Need I say more?
Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how honest are you? I'm going to give myself a 9. I'm pretty much a straight shooter and the only reason I'm not giving myself a 10 is because I have to lie at work sometimes. Ha.
Main Course
Name something that is truly free. Guilt.
Dessert
Using the letters in the word SPRING, write a sentence. There were tornadoes in Oklahoma yesterday, so that must mean Spring is here.

friday fun #83 (not)
It's finally Friday and I'm bring the fun back! I haven't done this in a long tome so I made one up.
No plans for me this weekend besides craft, craft, craft. I've got about 100 bows to make, 4 floral balls to cover, and 2 giant T's to cover. The Roomies are gone and it'll probably rain so it'll be a perfect weekend to get some wedding shtuff done.
Here's the fun, from the Feast!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Given the choice, would you prefer to live in the country or in the city? I would live in the country, where I could grow my own food, raise my own animals, and have a place where my [future] children would grow up like I did - playing in the dirt, climbing trees, and learning to ride a bicycle on a gravel road.
Soup
Who is the cutest kid you know? That would most definitely be my 3 year old boyfriend, Nater. Do you know any 3 year olds that screen their phone calls? My cutie pie does!
Salad
Fill in the blank: I couldn’t believe it when I heard my little brother was getting married before me and now they're having a baby before me. *sigh*
Main Course
If you could star in a commercial for one of your favorite products, which one would you want to advertise? I think I would want to be in a cheese commercial with those cows from California. Those are some funny cows.
Dessert
What type(s) of vitamins and/or supplements do you take on a regular basis? I take a multi-vitamin, vitamin C, and B12 daily. I take echinachea when I'm starting to feel sick, which is a lot lately, considering it's flu season. I really should be taking my calcium since I don't drink milk but they're really big and yucky.

a little more uplifting... (and my 100th post)
Sorry about that last post. I was sad and mad and all kinds of other things. Anyway, happy 100th post to me!
It's St. Patrick's Day - normally one of my favorite days of the year but I'm not too excited about it today. Perhaps because it's Monday and I'm finally recovered from Saturday night and my honey won't be here to celebrate it with me. It will get better I'm sure. BFF and I are going out for some green beer tonight so it will liven up.
He finally got that dang interview! After 3 weeks and 9 phone calls he passed the phase I interview and they're moving onto phase II. I still have a good feeling about it because the guy is persistent, even if it's only at procrastinating.
We had a fab weekend. Mostly anyhow... Friday night I colored my hair, caught up on my shows, and slept, which was nice. T came in late and made me get up and go hang out with some friends and I was not happy about it but that's what you do when you love someone. We had big plans on Saturday but they got delayed because we never want to leave my room. When we finally did, we went to the car show and walked around for a few hours. I picked out a new dream car - the Lexus IS F. Holy crapballs that thing is amazing. It's only a mere 56K, T is going to work on getting that for me. I wish... We tried to win the powerball this weekend to offset the need for a car that expensive but I don't think it happened.
We really did pick out a new car for his mom at the car show. She's been looking for one for a bit and I hope she finally made her mind up to get a G35, which I would also take should someone want to buy me one. See, we've had this debate going on for a long time. His mom really doesn't stand up for herself when it comes to her opinion, even when it comes to buying cars. So, T's brother has been trying to get her to buy a Corvette for like a year because the little brat butt wants to "buy" it from her later. Toddles and I are looking out for her and realize that she works hard and deserves something more luxe, hence the push for the G, which she loves because of the sportiness and luxury. So then she has this new boyfriend who only buys Chevy vehicles and is messing up the mix, trying to get her into a Chevy car, which are complete pieces of dookie (Impala) and unreasonable (Vette). After the car show and long talks, I think she finally listened to the good son and is going for the G. Gosh, if she only realized we're really looking out for her.
Moving right along... We did the car show thing and worked up an appetite for the BBQ place we've been meaning to try out as one of the options for the wedding caterers. I think we decided against that particular one because they didn't have enough meat options. It was tasty, and some of the best hot links I've eaten but the chicken had bones and there was no turkey or pulled pork options. Gotsta have pulled pork when you're eating BBQ.
Sunday was a beautiful day and we went to soccer game after we recovered from the 3:30 a.m. party the night before. I watched my friend's baby fall on the bleachers and bust his teeth through his lip, poor guy. Baby mouths make a lot of blood, it's really kind of amazing. I was just happy he didn't lose a tooth. This one is seriously going to try to knock them all out before kindergarten - this is the second incident already and he's not even 2 yet. After we got the tyke cleaned up and his dad's team won the game we all got some take out for dinner and played with the kids until it was their bedtime.
Once again, I'm at work and Toddles is at the house, sleeping. It really sucks having to leave him when he's asleep but then he can't make me all sad and weepy. Hopefully he'll get up in time to take me to lunch before he hits the road.
7 months and 13 days until we get hitched. I've got lots to do on that this week. Florists, DJs, and passports, oh my!
Enjoy your St. Pat's day!

After the car show and long talks, I think she finally listened to the good son and is going for the G. Gosh, if she only realized we're really looking out for her.
Moving right along... We did the car show thing and worked up an appetite for the BBQ place we've been meaning to try out as one of the options for the wedding caterers. I think we decided against that particular one because they didn't have enough meat options. It was tasty, and some of the best hot links I've eaten but the chicken had bones and there was no turkey or pulled pork options. Gotsta have pulled pork when you're eating BBQ.
Sunday was a beautiful day and we went to soccer game after we recovered from the 3:30 a.m. party the night before. I watched my friend's baby fall on the bleachers and bust his teeth through his lip, poor guy. Baby mouths make a lot of blood, it's really kind of amazing. I was just happy he didn't lose a tooth. This one is seriously going to try to knock them all out before kindergarten - this is the second incident already and he's not even 2 yet. After we got the tyke cleaned up and his dad's team won the game we all got some take out for dinner and played with the kids until it was their bedtime.
Once again, I'm at work and Toddles is at the house, sleeping. It really sucks having to leave him when he's asleep but then he can't make me all sad and weepy. Hopefully he'll get up in time to take me to lunch before he hits the road.
7 months and 13 days until we get hitched. I've got lots to do on that this week. Florists, DJs, and passports, oh my!
Enjoy your St. Pat's day!

hmpf
This whole job situation with Toddles has been frustrating - for him. He still has not heard from this guy but the guy keeps telling our friend that he wants to interview T, so it's like WTF? And something else... I made a deal with him that if he got a huge raise, like over 10k, then I would move there. And now he's gotten a couple of calls offering that much. What is that? Destiny stepping in or something?
I had a wonderful weekend for the most part. I visited pretty much everyone I know in OKC, family-wise anyhow.
Friday I woke up feeling like shit. After overdosing on vitamin C, echinachea, and alsparagus root juice crap, I thought I would be able to fight it off. I made it to OKC early that afternoon and managed to see both of my brothers, the preggie sister-in-law, dad's girlfriend, grandpa and grandma, and a cousin, all after a little shopping trip. The cousin, one bro, and his girlfriend and I went out for a bit that night to a decent little bar.
Saturday was my big girl's day. The 3 C's came down about noon and we met at the Cheesecake Factory. Can anyone guess what I had? Yes, fried mac & cheese... *drooling* It was soooooooo incredibly good. No cheesecake for any of us though. We headed to the mall and tried to find shirts for the night. We all succeeded but by the time it was finished I was about ready to pull my hair out and started doubting my outfit choice. It was time to get out of the mall, we all needed caffeine and ciggies! We left to check into our very fabulous and swanky hotel. After we got unpacked and coffee made we vegged around and enjoyed the break. The four of us ladies started getting ready for the night... We ended up looking so hot. I mean HOT HOT. We cabbed it to a friend's bar and had a few beers. Then he drove us to the club and we mingled. All in all, we had a really great time. We ended up taking the same cab four times that night (thanks Betty!) because we had to eat after the bar closed. Word to the wise, never, EVER, let a cabbie take you to a truck stop breakfast buffet at 2 a.m. EVER. I thought I had rot-gut the next morning when I woke up. Ugh. Oh, and if you start to lose your voice, don't try to scream and yell to make it go all the way. It really hurts. I can hardly speak today.
Sunday was a loooooong day. We hadn't slept much because one of the C's snored and coughed all night long. I went to my other grandparent's house for a visit and coffee, and to get the courage to get ready to go get the things I wanted out of my great-gram's house. I finally got ready to go and met my grandpa over there. What a nightmare. The house was a pit, her stuff was all gone, and my family had taken every last thing that meant anything already. I got the stuff that no one else wanted, but it's okay because it means more to me than them. After that was finally over and I made my peace with everything I called my other Gram for an early dinner. We visited for four hours and I made my way to the nursing home to see Grandma.
More on that in another post.
I made my way home and cried it out. All of the stress and tension from my family tapped me completely. I was emotionally worn out. I turned the tv on and turned my brain off and tried to sleep. I coughed for over 30 minutes and thought I was going to the ER because I was so short of breath but I managed to recover. That brings me to today....
Happy Monday yo...

I forgot about my poor little blog. What can I say, I've been a busy girl...
Last weekend was an awesome weekend! I got to buy my super beautiful wedding dress, went to a hockey game, and went to an 80's party at a skating rink. It was one of the best weekends I've had in awhile! It was crazy busy and I didn't even get one nap in but it was totally worth it. I got to see both of my bubbies, my gparents, and visit with my long lost BFF. Awesome, awesome.
I'm finally well. Or so it feels for now. Almost every single person I know has had either bug #1 - the coughing, sneezing, can't breath thing or bug #2 - the poops and the pukes. I was lucky enough to get #1 but it's taking a long time to go away. I was afraid the Bossman was going to give us all bug #2 because he had a damn fever the other day and wouldn't go home. Nice, huh? Anyway, the good thing to come out of this is that I haven't been smoking like normal. I have gone like 8 of 11 days without smoking. I'm going to try to only smoke when I drink, we'll see how that goes. So far so good. But my Love is coming home tonight and that means he'll take me out, and I might just have to drink. Maybe.
My Vday turned out okay and it was actually kind of surprising, considering I'm really not a fan of the day. My sweets sent me a cute ecard first thing in the morning. I got some new slipper socks from Bosslady. I bought everyone breakfast (but the picky shits didn't eat it so I did today LOL). I went home and the Roomies and I made dinner. I made beer bread, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled avocado, and the sauteed mushrooms. Dad made the steaks. Momma P made the salad. It was a perfect dinner, especially once I found a bottle of Smoking Loon Pinot Noir in the pantry that I forgot I had bought. After dinner I found my pj's and settled in with my new lover, HD DVR, and some Lost. Oh, and I bought T a book that I'm sure he'll never read and that's too bad because it's great. It's called Well Groomed: A wedding planner for what's his name (and his bride). It's really funny and I hope T takes the time to at least browse through it, it's got great wedding advice for the guys.
BTW: Wedding date - 8 months, 10 days. I've got a lot going on with it right now. I've decided that we're having BBQ for our dinner, added a margarita machine (or two), and we rented a whole 'nother room for the reception. I've got to make an appointment with the florist for next week and we're going to try a new BBQ place this weekend that I've heard good things about. All of the parents are starting to chime in on their opinions and I'm none too fond of any of them. Weddings are a control freak's nightmare. That bridezilla is in all of us...
Here's my Friday Fun, from Friday's Feast.

Appetizer
Name one thing that is unique about you. I have a large dragonfly tattooed on my stomach.
Soup
Fill in the blank: My favorite salad dressing is honey mustard but I like ranch too.
Salad
What type of wood do you have for your home’s furnishings? We will be filling our home with dark, espresso colored wood. (Can't think of the name right now, and some of what I got isn't really wood, it's that fake shit).
Main Course
Who do you talk to most often on the phone? That would be my #1, Toddles.
Dessert
What level of responsibility do you have in your job? Mmm... I'm responsible for the money that comes in and that's a lot of responsibility.

pass the puffs
I am finally back to work and near a computer after suffering from 3 days of fever, coughing, and an awful runny nose. Seems that I caught what T's roomies all had and brought it back to Oklahoma with me after our ski trip.
We had a wonderful time over the weekend. We got to St. Louis early in the evening, all thankful that the roads weren't bad from all the snow. After getting everyone to their hotel rooms and me delivered to my honey, it was time to get dolled up and head to the casino. We had a great time, actually the best time I've ever had in a casino. We all split up - boys and girls. Wanna know what the best part was? My drink of choice - Crown Royal - was only $2.50. Fabulous. Needless to say, the girls and I got pretty tanked. We were having fun, flirting with old men on the craps tables, C&C playing roulette, and really putting the drinks down. We met up with the boys and decided to try out the new nightclub, girls only again because they weren't in the dancing mood. We danced our buzzes off and had a blast! Everyone decided to call it a night and we headed to Awful House to ward off nasty hangovers for our skiing adventure the next day.
Saturday we all woke up, feeling fine and pretty pumped for the day ahead. It took awhile to get on the slopes but once we did it was fun. It was a perfect day for skiing, we even got hot in our heavy coats. Toddles was worried about my skiing abilities since we had never skied together. We got to the run we were going to try first and I took off. Next thing I know he's behind me saying "slow down" and I'm like "nooooooo" because I knew what I was doing. I proved myself...
It was a really good time. We spent all day skiing until things started getting messy and we were worn out. I only fell one time and it was my first time on a black run. Oh, and I about got knocked out by the lift because of some punk ass kid. I ended up with two bruises the size of baseballs but at least I didn't hit my head.
That night we all went to dinner with T's roomies and their kid. I finally got the prime rib I'd been craving for a month. We went to this nice little Irish pub (not with the kid) for a bit but everyone wanted to call it a night because we were exhausted.
I woke up Sunday feeling like shit. It's really a great way to travel. Can't breathe, can't sleep, just lovely, and I swear that everytime I go up there, I get sick. We got home and I went straight to bed with a nasty fever, which brings us to now - three days later and I finally feel a little better. The only reason I'm at work is because it's Bosslady/aunt's 10 year anniversary. I'm so outta here after lunch.
Do you think everyone's sick because it was like 75* on Sunday and then it's freakin snowy again today? Gotta love my Oklahoma.

I forgot to do my Friday fun... How about some Monday fun?
Do you eat the ends/heels of a loaf of bread? Or do you toss them? I eat the ends of the loaf. I love the ends toasted on one half of a sandwich or slathered with butter to dunk in my coffee.
Guess I was just too busy working. Ha. Actually I was, I stayed really busy all of last week.
-----------------
We had an awesome weekend. I'm so tired today. We stay up waaaaaay too late when we're together and it makes for a really long Monday. We have fun though, that's all that matters.
Friday night we were up until 5 a.m., partying. I was a sexy bitch Friday night. I had a new black shirt on with my fav jeans, my bday boots, and my new baby Coach wristlet. T was lovin it! He kept telling me over and over how hot I looked. For those of you that have been together for a decade, it feels amazing for your lovah to say those kind of things. It made my whole weekend. Well, that and Aunt Flo left after a muthafreakin month. Yes, you read that right.
Saturday we slept, pretty much all day. We woke up from like 12-2 to eat and stuff but then it was lights out until 4. We didn't have plans so there was really no need to get dressed and leave my room. We ended going out for dinner and meeting up with C&C to watch the football game. Others joined us and drama ensued, but it was mostly a good night.
Oh, get this - some stupid little idiots egged my car at some point of the weekend. I hate stupid teenage shit like that. They are very lucky I didn't catch them. They'd be licking the yolk off my window.
Sunday we didn't have anything planned again. I mean, we needed to go to our storage unit and we needed to do laundry but none of that stuff is fun so we didn't do it. We went shopping and ate at our favorite Mexican place. We went out later last night and I got a little drunkie and everyone kept making fun of me. Not nice friends, not nice.
I didn't feel so hot this morning so I came to work late. And My Baby had to go home, which was the end of my great weekend. Oh well, we've got fun weekends coming up soon.
BTW, I'm so glad Dallas and Indy lost this weekend, let's just hope SD can take the Pats out. Woot.

word.
I've really got to stop saying that. It comes out of my mouth a lot. But it works in so many situations. Right? Except for there...
So, my vacation begins today at 3:00. I'm not excited yet because it's going to be a crazy day at work. After lunch it'll hit me. I haven't had this much time off since... eh... August. haha Okay, so not that long but whatev. I'm headed to the Lou today and I get to see my Love for 6 whole days. Holy catballs! We're going to the Steelers/Rams game tomorrow night with the Roomies (his dad and stepmom) - I'm very excited about that! Plus I get to shop all day with no one to bug me. Very exciting as well. We'll be home Friday and then our Christmas festivities begin. Duh da da daaaa!
Saturday - Christmas with Mama and her side of the fam.
Sunday - Christmas with the Roomies and their part of the fam.
Monday - Christmas in OKC with Pops and his peeps.
Tuesday - Christmas with his Mom and her bfriend.
Wednesday (the most imporatante!) - MY BDAY! (Except it sucks ass because T is leaving me)
Thursday - Recovery day
Friday - Welcome baby Alli day (and T flies back)!!!
So, ya... I haven't done any shopping except for my boss because we had to exchange gifts today. The dude still hasn't given us our bonus so I can't even buy my fiancee a gift, but it's okay to spend $xx on the boss. Wasn't too happy about that. If we don't get it today I am going to spit nails. No Christmas for you. I'll take my damn Monty Python movie back. That's right boyyyeee.
I did make some scrumpdiddlyumptious mini quiches for food day today. Spinach, mushrooms, onions, pepper jack, and muenster.... YUM! I cannot wait to try them, they look mighty delish. I'll have to rewrite the recipe since I tweaked it and post it.
What else?
I hope that anyone reading my blog has a happy, healthy, wonderful, safe, and joyful Christmas.
Muah!

the ice is melting...
As you may have heard, Oklahoma got pelted with ice and freezing rain all weekend. It has been a wreck everywhere and the devastation is really sad. We were very fortunate to have kept power the entire time. Every person I talked to had lost theirs and several are still without power. It's just so sad and people are having to be very resourceful. The good thing is that the ice is gone, for now anyway and the rain has finally stopped. But we're supposed to get hit by a sizable snow storm Friday night. Yay. I'd much rather have snow than ice, at least it doesn't weigh down power lines and destroy homes and trees. The trees are enough to make your heart sad. They just split and splinter and fall apart under the weight of the thick ice.
Thought I'd give a quick update, not much else is going on. Oh, wouldn't you know my office was like one that actually kept power too. That's a bunch of crap. The other good thing about this storm is that my honey had to stay in town for a day and a half extra. It was really nice getting to stay in bed and snuggle that extra time.
Anyway, say lots of prayers for those who are doing without right now. Generators are scarce and it's cold.
Peace.

changes
It was a bittersweet weekend.
I turned in the keys to my "super cute little house" on Saturday. It's been a really odd experience. Three years ago I was completely heartbroken and looking for a new home. My then-boyfriend was cheating on me, after I had raised his precious children and made a home with him for two years. I was sad and sick and really pathetic. Then I found this awesome little house that was full of color and cheer and just what I needed to start a new chapter in my life. I left the asshole and started a new life for myself. I started becoming friends with my Toddles again. I did the things that I wanted to do, not what someone else expected me to do. I got healthy again. I got happy again. It was a big turning point in my life because I really thought it was over for awhile.
The past month has been another life-changing experience. I have cried and laughed and lifted more boxes than I have in forever. I moved "back home" with my future in-laws. I'm getting married in 10 months. I'm in love and really happy for the first time in a bit. I'm getting out of debt and making a good life for myself, again. It's makes the whole marriage thing seem more real now that I'm sacrificing and bettering things for someone else. I swore three years ago I would never do this again. I wasn't going to fall in love, I wasn't going to give anything up for anyone, and I certainly didn't think I'd be moving in with the 'rents and losing some of my independence. Things change though. People grow up, fall in love, and makes dreams together.
I'm going to have my very own little family of two next year and that makes me so incredibly happy. *insert super happy tears here*
I'll stop being mushy but it really has been crazy in my world lately.
Did anyone else notice that we just slipped into December and it's already the fourth day, with twenty-one days to go until Christmas? Yeah, I just did. I haven't done any shopping yet but I have made my crazy organized list and I'm ready to start. Oh, but wait - I don't have my bonus yet. Thanks Bossman, make us wait until the last minute. I actually am going to get started with what I can this week. Not paying rent has it's advantages.
Tonight I have my first appointment with one of the photographers we've chosen for the wedding. I really wish T was here to go with me but I can manage on my own. I seriously only have 8 free days to myself this month. That is nuts! I was trying to pick a day to go to OKC for some Christmas shopping and it's like, duuuuuh Tara - you really shouldn't do that. Check this out: 2 photog appointments this week, two Christmas parties this weekend, work dinner, bunco, poker, December birthday dinner, and an ornament party next week; girls' night and then a 3 day break. Then it's off to St. Louis for the Steelers/Rams game, come home 2 days later, Christmas with Mom, T's fam, my fam, and taaadaaa! It's Christmas! Then it's my birthday and I turn the awful 27 and next thing you know it's freakin 2008.
Hopefully I won't have another breakdown between now and then. Peace y'all.
I turned in the keys to my "super cute little house" on Saturday. It's been a really odd experience. Three years ago I was completely heartbroken and looking for a new home. My then-boyfriend was cheating on me, after I had raised his precious children and made a home with him for two years. I was sad and sick and really pathetic. Then I found this awesome little house that was full of color and cheer and just what I needed to start a new chapter in my life. I left the asshole and started a new life for myself. I started becoming friends with my Toddles again. I did the things that I wanted to do, not what someone else expected me to do. I got healthy again. I got happy again. It was a big turning point in my life because I really thought it was over for awhile.
The past month has been another life-changing experience. I have cried and laughed and lifted more boxes than I have in forever. I moved "back home" with my future in-laws. I'm getting married in 10 months. I'm in love and really happy for the first time in a bit. I'm getting out of debt and making a good life for myself, again. It's makes the whole marriage thing seem more real now that I'm sacrificing and bettering things for someone else. I swore three years ago I would never do this again.

accomplishment.
Woohoo! The big weekend is over and we got so much finished. Here's the play by play:
Wednesday - I finished packing. I got this OCD thing going for this move and was super organized throughout the entire move. Everything was boxed, labeled, and ready to go when T arrived that night.
Thursday - Thanksgiving. We spent the day in OKC with my fam, had dinner, and were home by 8:00. It was our only scheduled day off for the whole weekend. Dinner was nice, my family was being a little odd but it was still a nice holiday.
Friday - Move my room. Toddles and I got up at a decent time and prepared for the day. I was hyper, crazy lady when I woke up from all of the excitement. T wasn't really ready for all that until I got him his fav McD's breakfast. We moved all of my room into his Dad's house in two trips. His stepmom's family was there so they helped us unload some of the stuff. We got everything put together and sleepable by the time dinner was ready at 4:00. We stuffed our faces and played poker that night. We also made it to Target to get some more things for my room.
Saturday - Ugh... We're tired by this day. We got around and made it to the old house to move all of my boxes. It was cold and we both wanted to be cozied up in bed. We got everything loaded into two cars and made it to the storage unit in no time. Unloaded and it was time to go to his brother's for another family meal. We grabbed some pizza and watched the OU/OSU game. After that it was time to hang with all of our friends. We drank our aches and pains away and called it a night after a few too many drinks.
Sunday - Oops. T has a nasty hangover. I feel fine but I do NOT want to get out of bed. We wake up late and our helper is already calling. I tell him we need another hour. Thank God he's such a nice guy. We meet up at the house, move the big stuff - W/D, fridge, couch, etc to storage. Get done. Go eat. Go sleep. We were so tired that we slept for 3 hours yesterday. I think it all caught up with us.
Now all I have to do is clean out the house and I'm finished. It feels so good to have had such a stress-free move. T said it's because I rock and had everything ready to go. I couldn't agree more.
I've been happier this past week than I have in a long time. I truly believe it's because I got rid of all the bad shit in my life and I am preparing for a fresh start with my Beloved. I feel clean, refreshed, and organized for once. It is amazing!
Oh, the wedding countdown is 10 months, 29 days. Yikes!
Hope everyone had a really nice Thanksgiving. Get any shopping done?

no wonder i'm grumpy...
(explanation at the end...)
I continued my madness through the weekend. Poor, poor Toddles dealt with me so nicely.
Friday was my friend S's birthday. He was being a total prick the whole night because he thinks he can sometimes and it being his bday made it even worse. T and I went home early because we had a busy day planned for Saturday and we were not in the mood for S's crap.
I had to get up earlyish the next day for a baby shower for my friend Court. It was nice, not short enough, but nice for one of those shower things. Her MIL hooked her up! I've never seen so much pink in all my life! I looked super cute for the shower because this girl T used to date was there. Hot red dress and fun shoes and hair, plus the sizable engagement ring = delish! I told my future MIL that I would give up my future baby shower if I never have to go to another again. She didn't go for that too well. Baby showers suck sooooo bad.
T and I had a dinner date later that night. It was wonderful and romantic. We had some great Italian food and wine, and it was super cozy. After that we went to check on BFF and her pneumonia, stole her hubby for a bit for beer and football, and went out. I started feeling bad at some point in the night. Ciggies were killing me and I begged T to take me home. He really didn't want to but I finally managed to get him home.
I woke up Sunday and felt like someone had socked me in the chest. I couldn't breath and the first thought in my head is pneumonia since BFF has had it so bad. I toughed it out for awhile until the coughing became unbearable. I took a shower and the steam helped but I still ended up going to the doctor. $68 later I'm on an inhaler, crazy antibiotics, and I've got bronchitis and some pneumonia. Yay me. No wonder I've been totally weak and tired and bitchy. My wonderful fiance took care of me and got a ton of stuff done since I'm having a garage sale this weekend. I'm so lucky.
So, I'm actually working today. I would rather be in bed but there's really no point since I'd end up getting bored and would work on the crap for the garage sale. Thank goodness for cough drops, hot tea, and the inhaler. Bosslady doesn't even know I'm sick yet.
Anyway, that's my weekend. Stay tuned for more madness because the next two weeks are c-razy. I might've found a home for Pedro but more on that later. I'm ready for lunch.

friday not so fun #13
First off, I am dedicating everything I do today to my dear Stephie, who passed away unexpectedly 4 years ago today. Just in case she can hear me...
Hey munchkin, I can't believe you've been gone for four years, I was just thinking of you the other day. I swear, sometimes I can see you smile in other people - it kind of freaks me out but it's cool too. Your little guy isn't so little anymore. I bet that he would be almost as tall as you already! Your mom is holding up pretty good these days, she's slowly getting happy again. Lil man keeps her going and your uncle is taking her out today. We email back and forth a lot, she still sends those chain letters and I delete most of them, unless it's an angel, which reminds us all of you. Things are different without you but I know you're enjoying the show. We all miss you girl...
Okay folks, now on to the happy stuff. She wouldn't want me to be mopey today.
I'm getting married in 364 days. Whoa. Now I can really time to start planning the big day, not just pretend plan.
I've had a pretty lame week. It's been all cold so I've stayed home just about every night and gotten in my pj's early and eaten yummy soups that make my heart happy and snuggled with Pedroski. I had to turn on the heater last night. I swear, if I didn't know better - I would have thought it was going to snow. You know that eerie stillness that happens when it's going to snow? That's what it was like outside last night.
It's going to be a fun weekend. T and I are dressing up as Mario and Luigi for a Halloween party and then we'll probably go out afterwards. It's definitely going to be a cozy, snuggle on the couch type of weekend.
Here's our Friday Fun, from Friday Fill-in.

1. The last good thing that came in the mail was a sample of crème brulée coffee from Walmart.
2. This week I'm grateful for Fall weather, football, and sweatshirts.
3. Fried macaroni and cheese is the most delicious thing ever.
4. My beloved fiancée inspires me.
5. I'm most happy when I am eating or sleeping.
6. And all the roads we have to walk along are never lined with money.
7. As for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going downtown, tomorrow my plans include baking a skullie cake and go to a Halloween party. Sunday, I want to watch football, eat meatloaf, and snuggle with my baby.

today is...
World Food Day
Read about it here.
And I'm bored so I'm going to tell you alllll about my weekend.
Friday night my honey bunny surprised me and showed up in town. We went out and got a little shitty and stayed up too late doing silly things that are our little secret. No really, I'm not telling you.
Saturday T and I went ottoman shopping at 5 different stores and didn't find crap. We found one online that we're going to order that was pretty much what we wanted. It's so cool that we have the same taste and style - it makes life a lot easier - we both like simple and contemporary so there aren't any arguments over floral pillows and Oriental rugs. My bro and his gfriend showed up Saturday night in time for our friendly poker game with The Gang. I thought T was going to do well but he ended up going out at 4th place. The four of us went out after that and got hooked up at The Bar (clever name, huh). We went to an after party and stayed out way too late again. I felt like a high-schooler crashing someone's house. Fun stuff.
Sunday was fun day. Me, Ty, and Mags went to the grocery store to get stuff for a big lunch. Ty talked me out of making meatloaf, which I had been craving for two weeks, and into grilling steaks. They turned out great, had some mac & cheese, grilled squash & potatoes, and green beans. It was a ton of food!!! My little bro has turned into quite the grillmeister. I guess that's what happens when you're unemployed for 2 years and watch Food Network everyday. We watched football all day and hung out. Ty and Mags went to the Down concert, I declined, not my type of musica. Toddles had to go back home and I cried about it. He's been staying an extra day so I felt cheated this weekend. I sat down with a book and enjoyed my evening and made eggs for dinner. Comfort.
I went to watch football last night since I'm a lame-o and don't have cable. Have I mentioned that it pisses me off that Monday Night Football is only on ESPN? Well it does. It was the first time I've been out during the week in awhile. Okay, like two weeks but whatever. Went to Maloney's and it was actually nice. They remodeled and it was a lot better. I was nervous about running into Dickhead, the loser ex bf, but I was spared the drama. I drank beer all night and actually woke up feeling great today. That's because I didn't touch the Jaeger. See... I'm getting smarter with age. Jaeger makes the head pound and the tummy purge. Good to know since I'm being taken out again tonight.
Oh, I made an awesome dinner last night but that will be another post because I haven't downloaded my pics yet. It was a beautiful creation!
Yeah! Tuesday is 30 minutes from being over. Well, work over. But yeah!

yawn
It's dreary outside and I'm ready for my afternoon nap. Except it's not the weekend and nap time is over. I didn't do much this weekend besides get sick in two different ways. Major sucky way to spend a weekend. My honey didn't visit this weekend so that sucked too.
I spent Friday evening with my sis and beautiful nephew, who thinks I am sooo funny, but what does a 7 month-old know? After they left I met up with S&S, Ms. Ass, and some other peeps. I had four lime Cape Cods and a couple of shots. Not that much for me, right? Wrong. I went home after sitting there for a few hours and crashed out. I awoke at 8:30 the next morning with a pounding headache and a tummy ache that was awful. I get up and poop. Then I drink water and puke it up. Then I pooped again. Then I try to take some tylenol. And I puke. I repeated this process until I was completely empty and 4 lbs lighter. I finally got some toast down. I'm thinking at this point that the sister and child gave me a stomach bug, the one she was complaining about last week but I didn't have a fever.
By this time I was already late for the OU/TX watch party and cheeseburgers were the last thing on my mind. But I showered and gathered my composure and went to the party to hang out with my wonderful friends. We watched the game and ate and talked, it was great. But they wanted to go out. And they weren't taking "no" for an answer. Didn't they know I had a date with my couch to get caught up on movies? Didn't they know that the mere mention of any alcoholic substances would trigger vomiting? Silly friends... Not nice.
We went to a (gasp!) country bar and I didn't complain, much to Toddles' chagrin. Normally I protest with much gusto, but Saturday night, I was actually looking forward to a new crowd. I didn't have my darling dance partner so that meant a night on a hard barstool and flirty cowboys but I could manage. I cracked my first beer and it went down just fine. Got a second one. Almost ready to dance.
Holy frickin donkey balls! My kidneys started hurting and they started hurting bad. I acted cool, moved off the barstool and onto a seat with a back, in case it wasn't the kids. Nope. I tried to drink my $2.75 + tip domestic beer but I had to trash it and leave. Bummer dude, I wanted to learn the boot scootin' boogie. Headed straight to Walgreens for some Azo Standard and light cranberry juice. Put my jammies on and crashed out.
I woke up Sunday for football and they were still hurting. Today, I probably should have gone to the doctor but I just had some antibiotics called in by our office nurse.
I have to go home and get the casa ready for 12 women, I'm hosting bunco tomorrow night and haven't even gotten the gifts or eating utensils. I'd much rather wash a pain pill down with more cranberry juice and go to sleep. Not happenin' toots.
Oh, and screw Indy, I'm still mad at Peyton for beating us yesterday. The Colts and Pats need to go down.
