Sarah, where are you?

Have you ever had one of those weeks where almost everything is annoying you? Where certain habits and people just drive you crazy? Well, I am there. I need an attitude adjustment. I honestly do. Something has to kick in and jump start me. I think I have just become tired with certain situations. I don't know if that means I have outgrew them or if it's just a phase. I think some is just a phase that will pass but I think a majority of it are things I have just become tired of.  I am not sure where that takes me. I guess I have to wait and see. Maybe it's the cabin fever. I am hoping to break that this weekend! Almost 40 degrees and we will be outside! I can't wait for that. Nothing is perking me up. We started our Tuesday nights again for 2010 and that didn't even help. I felt way off. I felt like I wasn't even there. My mind kept wondering off. Where? I couldn't tell you. I was in a fog. I was not myself. I am just not on point. Ugh, what is wrong with me? Wake up Sarah! I better snap out of it soon. I can't stand being in a rut. I miss myself!! Haha. I miss my happy, energetic self! Where are you? Come back!! I hope a 3 day weekend will break this. If not, Jana is going to have to bring in reinforcements!!

Other then that, Jake is still running around saying Jakeism #29 "Butt Sundae". Got to love that kid!!

Also I am re-watching season 5 of Grey's Anatomy. I forgot how much I disliked Doctor Hahn...wow.

Friday was declared a snow day for me. We had a drift that trapped us in from the back entrance (that's what shes said) and from the garage. After about 45 minutes, I just gave up. Spent the day playing with a 2 year old! Always fun. Also got a little farther into Season 1 of SATC. One highlight, Jake and I were reading Curious George. He was holding my hand and looked up and said, "Oh how I love you mommy." That was worth a day off right there!

Saturday Michael went to a friends house to re-wire. Jake and I spent the day playing and running around the house. I so can't wait for Spring. We need the outdoors! A Jake moment eventually came out. He informed me that he needed to go potty. So we went to the big potty. He took off his diaper and there it was. 47 cents. The boy is hiding money is his diapers. I asked him why, he informed me that "I don't have any pockets Mom." Oh kids, you have to love them. We spent the rest of the day reading and playing some more. Saturday night Jake got to spend some time with Nana and Papa. We headed to game night. It was so nice to have the group all together again. Well most of the group! Some people couldn't come but they had a good excuse!! New Baby Chase decided to makes her appearance! It was a good time full of laughs and some interesting Boulder Dash scenarios. Swallet, did me in!

Jake came up with a new Jakeism. Butt Sundae. It means to put Desitin and Powder on his butt. This is now called a Butt Sundae. I would love to know who taught him that. We got ready and headed over to the Trimbles for a afternoon of football. Things started off interesting! You know the saying "Friends don't let friends drive drunk", well I have a new one. "Best friends let best friends hit your car and you say 'Oh Well' and laugh!" I still think it's funny. The game didn't go as anyone wanted it. The Packers just didn't bring their A game. Sadly they didn't have the strength to pull through. Jeff was more entertainment that I was anticipating! Although they lost, it was still a great afternoon with our favorite family!

Ooo lala, gaga ooo lalala

Another lovely storm has blown threw. Now comes the best part, negative temperatures. This is a time where I do wish I lived somewhere warmer! It is incredibally sad that I get excited when I see that the high today was 15 and that I am looking forward to the 20's this weekend. It's been a long winter already. Too bad we aren't even half way through. Wow. We aren't even a month into it. We got another 6.2 inches. Zoey gets lost in the snow again and she comes back in with this "I hate you humans" look. I feel bad for the little booger but then her co-workers act up and I forget that. She is the instigator in the house. I think hot chocolate is needed tonight. It didn't help that Jos had some today.

Lady Gaga. She will not leave me alone. She is stalking me yet again. First Poker Face then Paparazzi. Now, I can't get away from "Bad Romance". Today, D and I totally broke out into this song. Mike even joined. We were good entertainment. Especially when D started singing it like Cher would and I started singing it like B-Spears. When Mike and I were leaving yesterday we both started singing the song in the elevator in the exact same spot. It all started with Matt getting this in my head weeks ago. I had this song in dreams and every where I turned it would be on. This week has been just the same. Every time I got into the car, it was on. I turned my iPod on shuffle, it was #4, and Michael being the person he is, had VH1 on and the video was on the morning. Sad part is, I actually like the song. I just need to stop getting it stuck in my head for weeks. Almost as bad as when I had "Christmas Bells Are Ringing" stuck in my head for a month. Fantastic. Now I am singing that!

Well I had about 7 inbox messages about updating my status on FB to what color of brassiere I am wearing. It is in support to breast cancer awareness. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it. It was just interesting and quite comical seeing about 100 statuses saying: Black, Hot Pink, Silver with Black stripes, Push Up, etc. For the record mine was black with pink flames. I like to live on the wild side. SSSSsssssssss

SATC. Thank you Jos. I can honestly say I had only seen 1 episode of this. I watched it 3 times and saw the same episode. Now, I didn't have HBO when it was on and I am not much of a TV watcher unless I can keep up with it. Good ole Target had the season on sale and Mrs. F happened to buy them. I have only watched 3 episodes and I am now hooked! I guess it's payback from getting a few people stuck on Glee. This happened with HP too. A friend and I swapped Twilight and HP series and I swore that I would never like it, and I did. I can't wait to be able to sit on the couch for a few hours and cuddle up and watch them!

I never thought this would happen either. I am getting ready to watch the Texas vs Alabama game. Good ole BCS Champoinship game. I would have normally just watched but now that we have befriended a few people from TX, I am proud to say "Hook'em Horns!" Even though they are the underdog, it should be a good game to watch! Yet another late night, which equals another day at work "tired". Entertainment for people around me!!

Permanently Cold

Today we are supposed to get another 4-6 inches of snow. First off, if this is true, I will not be at work tomorrow. I have days to use for this reason alone. I am not looking forward to more snow. I feel that we have enough. It hasn't melted from the first time so I would love for it to just go away. There is no room for it. Have you looked around lately? There are piles everywhere. This makes for major headaches! Being the queen of lists, here is yet another:


1) Where to put the snow? Everywhere you look there is a mountain of snow. Have you seen JC Mall? Try parking there on the weekend. The piles of snow are everywhere and are causing major pain in my backside. Last weekend we went to a movie and we drove down a lane, that use to be two way, and it was blocked. Yes, blocked. There was a huge pile of snow at the end. I had to reverse backwards until I could do a 10 point turn to get out. Another time we went someone parked behind Andy's truck. He has a ginormous truck that will eat my SUV so why would a Civic park behind it? So odd.
2) Driving in residential areas. First you a better to travel via ice skates. Kingman is a ice trap. I have to make sure to not go a certain way to my parent’s house because it's downhill on their street. If you go that way, you will pass their house and not collect $200. You will slide into Crocker. My house is the same way. I would have better luck putting on skates, attaching my vehicle to a rope, wrap it around my waist, put it in nuetrul and skate out. It's like that till I get to Meredith. Another hazard of residential is the piles of snow that are blocking your viewing. Again, I am going to use Kingman. They have all these medians to cross traffic to side streets. You can't see over them. I almost got hit by a school bus because that is how high the piles of snow are. Half the time I feel like just closing my eyes and seeing where I end up. It's a hazard and it's getting worse!!
3) Bitter cold. Frigid. Artic. So cold that the snot that doesn't even egsist in my nose freezes and I feel like I have a bat in the cave. It's so cold. I was honestly excited that it was 3 degrees outside this morning that I walked outside into work. It didn't feel warm but it sure felt a whole lot better than the past few days. I guess I better enjoy the heat wave since the high for Friday is -3! Yes, the negatives! Spring cannot come soon enough at this point. I don't think I should complain about being too hot. This winter is changing my feelings on being cold. I just cannot get warm and I think I am going to be numb from the cold for quite some time.
4) Work. Not only do we not have any still but it's freezing in this joint as well. We are constantly wearing blankets and fleeces. It's called heat. I know we have it because you get blasted with it when you come in the door. Crank it up. Who cares if floors 1-3 sweat...up here on 5, we are freezing! I finally remembered to grab a blanket from home. Now, if only I had work to do. I could be sleeping instead!


Well here is to another snow storm! I hope everyone has safe travels! Stay warm!

Underdogs? Psh.

And that is how it's done!! I still love McNutt and Stanzi...I was so glad to see you back!

McNutt's touchdown!

Clayborn was a major weapon!

Congratulations Ferentz!

Way to go and Congratulations Hawkeyes!!! Can't wait till next season! This has been a fantastic season and there have been a few heart aches this year but the excitement was never ending! Proud to be a Hawkeye!

N a d a

That is the amount of work we have. Are you kidding me? We have nothing to do. I hate just sitting there, doing absolutely nothing. I would leave but the year just started and I do not want to use up time so early in the year. Someone better find us something to do! I guess we will have to resort to playing Phase 10 and other games until the work starts to flow in. I could play with my new phone. That sucker is so handy dandy! I love it! The little guy can load so fast and sometimes is smarter than me. I will over come it!!

Well that is all for today. No work. Maybe tomorrow will be a different story!

Not ready for reality

Tomorrow starts the the regular schedule of work. This past month has been so amazing. Once Thanksgiving hits, man, you get so use to taking time off or getting time off. I have a feeling this first week will be pretty hard. Just getting into the groove of things again will take some getting use too. I have a feeling I will be overly tired.

This weekend was pretty good. Did two things I love to do. Spend time with friends and lounge around! Friday we spent the day with the Olsens! Marilyn watched the boys and we went to a move. We attended "Sherlock Holmes". Now, this was an okay movie. I did not like the "Black Magic" part of it at all. Even having it implied, just irritates me. I guess you can call me a hypocrite due to the fact I heart me some Harry Potter, but still. This was throughout the whole movie and it was just dark magic. Maybe it was my mood also. It was okay, but I would have rather just rented it. After movie, walking around the mall, ice cream and a few laughs later, we went back to the boys. That night also was the last night David stayed over! He has been staying with us for almost 2 weeks!! We woke up Saturday and he was gone! =( Sad to see him leave but somewhat glad to have my house back! We spent the day Saturday running errands and cleaning up the house! We got new phones!! Scary. I got the Droid and Michael got the mini Droid. Insane. It does so much but I am slowly learning! I love it! As we were getting ready for an evening at Becky's house, the whole house went dark. The power froze. The whole block had nada. We left early over to the Trimbles and warmed up a bit! The power was turned on a few hours later! Thank goodness! We had a wonderful evening with friends and I think Jana introduced me to my new favorite cocktail. We don't drink often but this was pretty amazing. I enjoyed spending the evening and part of the morning with all of them!! They are fantastic!

Today, well today. We woke up at 9:30. We didn't get to bed till 1:30 so we were extremely tired. I felt a little guilty but man, we were just exhausted from the past week. Then we proceeded to do nothing. We watched the Vikings and Green Bay kick some booty and played with Jake and his train for hours. We just needed a day at home, alone. You need that sometimes. Plus with it being so cold outside, I have no motivation to go out and about on days like this if I don't have to. Not looking forward to how cold it is going to be all week either! Not looking good for a while.

Well I think we are finally going to watch the Hangover!!
