So What Thursday!

Today I'm saying so what if...

- I just did 20 push-ups in my cubicle...without anyone noticing.  I needed to wake up!

- I plan on getting *rock-star* wasted Saturday night.  We're going out with some of Kyle's friends from work that I've never met...I'm most likely going to embarrass myself...and him.  Who cares?!?

- I spend more time on my work computer making money on ebay that actually working.  Sssshhhh!

- I wish every shirt I owned was pink.  Or had pink in it.  That would be awesome.

- I plan on tanning every day for the next 2 weeks to get a base tan for that spring sun that will eventually show itself :)

Chicago

 (Woody made from legos)

All in all the trip was a great success.  Lego Land was a flop.  Not nearly as awesome as they make it out to be online.  But that's okay.  The kids still enjoyed themselves somewhat.

The train ride there was not a good time.  The kids complained and just couldn't wait to be there.  But the ride home was great.  There was a diner car on the train home which was very useful.  The kids and I sat down most of the ride and played cards.  Overall, it was a nice getaway and a fun time.  Now it's time for an adult-only vacation!  We're planning our trip now.  No details yet, but I'll keep you updated :)

So What Thursday!

Today I'm saying So What if...

- it was 76 degrees yesterday and it's snowing today.  We live in Indiana. Get over it.
- I made a "packing list" for each of us for our trip tomorrow.  I want to make sure we don't forget anything!
- I haven't taken Bobby to the barber shop in like 3 weeks...he has an afro now.
- We have a cabinet full of cups and I only drink out of 2 of them.  The blue ones are mine. 
- Kyle won't let me put up any pictures of us in the house cause he hates the way he looks in pictures.  At least he doesn't do the duckface!  And I think he's hott!!!

What are you saying so what to today?

All Aboard!

We're all ready for our Chicago trip finally.  Got everything ready to go.  I even found some really cool games online for the kids to play on the train ride.  Even though we'll have books, movies, Nintendo DSi's, an ipad, and other stuff, it's a 5 hour trip there and a 5 hour trip back, so we need lots to do!  Three bored kids won't be any fun at all, so i'm not letting that happen.  Unfortunately, the high in Chicago this weekend is only like 34 degrees, so we won't be able to take them to Millennium Park or anything, but there are still lots of indoor activities around.  And making a whole day of LegoLand takes up a lot of our time, also.  Anyway, enough about that...I'm ready!  On the road...er...tracks...Friday early morning!

College basketball

Every year, Kyle and I fill out brackets for NCAA to see who can do better.  I always seem to win.  HA!  In your face.  I don't even watch college basketball...I just guess.  And so far, I'm winning again this year.  Go me!  This year a friend at work was in on it, too.  So today we talked.

Me:  How's your bracket?
Friend: I threw it away.

Yess...victory is sweet.

Santa Claus

Yesterday we were on our way home in the car (just Laila and me) and there was a man with a beard on a motorcycle next to us.

Laila: Mommy look!  It's Santa Claus!!
Me: No, honey.  That's not Santa.
Laila:  What's him name?
Me: I don't know his name.
Laila:  I know him name.
Me: What is it?
Laila:  Santa Claus

*sigh*  Every man with a beard is Santa Claus now.  And don't tell her any different, cause she knows better.

So What Thursday!

Today I'm saying SO WHAT IF...

- I can't go out for St Patty's Day tonight cause I always end up in a fight and kicked outta the bar.  Only on St Patrick's Day, though.  I have no idea why. 
- I finally finished knitting all my friends' hats.  Then it warms up.
- I sing to my daughter every day.  And I suck.
- I'm scared to get a boob job...but I want one so bad!
- I hate my hair.  I love it short and hubby loves it long so now I'm in between and it's horrible.  I just want it to grow out enough to put in a pony tail!

What are you saying so what to today?

You Wish!

Bobby: Mom, I think I'm just gonna live with you guys forever.  After I go to college at Notre Dame, I'll come back here and live.

Me: Why would you wanna do that?

Bobby: So I can save my money and have a really cool car.

Me: What happens when you get married?

Bobby: She can live here too.

Me:  There's not enough room in this house for you and your wife, Bobby.

Bobby: Well maybe you guys can make the house bigger when it's time for that then.

Me: Or maybe you can get a really good job and get a huge house and me and Kyle can move in with you!

Bobby: You wish!

I've Got Nothing

I had an extremely boring weekend...nothing to talk about.  My cousin had a baby friday, so I got to go shoot his pics Saturday.  Well, i got to shoot A pic, since he wasn't up for it, we'll try again later this week.

Funerals Suck

I offered to help with getting things together for Chris' funeral.  I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to make posters of all these pictures and put the songs together to play during the service.  Ugh.  I'm just gonna say right now that I'm sorry for whoever has to do this at my funeral!

[Happy]

With every passing, there is a new life brought into the world.  A friend passed away Saturday morning and Katie went into labor Sunday morning.  She delivered little Xander (my little 'Zan Man') yesterday at 5:05pm.  He was 8 lbs and 7 ozs.  I knew he was gonna be a big one!  Congrats Katie, Lonnie, Alexis and Gabe!

[Sad]

We lost a friend Saturday morning.  He was sad and ill and decided it would be best if he wasn't here anymore.  Rest in peace, Chris Smith.  You will always be loved and missed.

So What Thursday!

Today I'm saying so what if...

- I'm allergic to corn.  Yep...the only one in Indiana.  How ironic.
- I pretend to not hear Laila's cry on Saturday morning in hopes that Kyle will get up instead.  Doesn't ever work.
- I blog from work.  Where I also shop online, read, and watch my favorite shows.  SShhhhhH!!!
- I wish all my appliances were pink.  Yes, it's an obsession.
- I count on my fingers sometimes.  Hey, I never claimed to be any good at math.

What are you saying so what to today?

We're Having a Baby!!

Not me, dork.  Katie!  She's in the first stages and has been having contractions for about 9 hours off and on.  They're 8-10 minutes apart now and she's at the store walking around.  And I'm sitting at my desk waiting for that call to get my ass to the hospital STAT!  Hopefully she won't wait too long and have this kid in the car...or the elevator.  That would suck.  But it would make for a great story later.

Forgive Me, For I Have Sinned

It's been SIX days since my last blog.  What's that you say?  Say ten Hail Marys and may the Lord be with me?  Okay then.  Thanks.  Have a great day.

(By the way, I'm not a baptized Catholic,  I was raised southern Baptist.  So I cannot receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Just sayin...)
