who am i?

i am...

obsessively over the top in love with my dog.
seriously.
i worry about myself sometimes...
yes, it is that bad.
i mean...i hold on my hip like a child.
and talk to him like he will actually respond to me.
strange? maybe...but, because of you blog ladies
i have realized this isn't as odd as i once thought.

very particular, which comes across as bossy.
or maybe bitchy. whatev.
that is me. and i have always been that way.
i like to think of it as i know what i want.
you know those people that are all like
"i don't care" "doesn't matter to me"
that is not me. if you ask me where i want to eat,
i will most likely chose olive garden  tell you.

a creature of habit.
i am one of those gals who thrives off a schedule.
to the exact second.
i hop out of bed the second my alarm goes off.
i also make sure i am tucked into bed no later than 10pm on the days i work.
routines are my fav.
which makes me a hot mess when i fall off of it.
which then leads to bitching.
so you see, it is a downward spiral if i get off of my routine.
lame? yes. on time? always.

in love with pasta.
specifically garden rotini.
it is always stocked in my pantry.
david always says my last meal would be pasta.
which worries me that he has thought that...but that is for another post.
i could and would eat it every day if it were acceptable.



who are you?

Semporna

Children of the Bajau Laut play in the sea during low tide on Gusungan Island in the Celebes Sea, near Semporna, in the east coast of Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia

the time i...


  • backed into my in laws car.

  • drove without a license or permit.

  • turned the thermostat up to 85 degrees b/c i was freezing

  • decided to cut peyton's hair myself



...none of these went well for me...

bahahahaha i look back now and laugh.
during these catastrophes i was not laughing.

what are your oops-ies?

i am loving all of your kind words on monday. i really really appreciate them. i cannot thank you enough for your love and support.



i am loving my new water bottle.  it has a filter in it. therefore, i can fill it up with the nasty hospital water and it tastes wonderful!!! best invention ever...well 2nd best...after this invention of course.




i am loving sweet baby ray's bbq sauce. like a lot. we made bbq chicken wraps last night with it. and it was delicious and amazing!!





i am loving that wednesday's are my friday's. and my weekend starts at exactly 7pm tonight!!



and...


i am loving my sweet sleeping boy. he isn't a morning person pup. however he is super cute.

weekend + the one word you never want to hear.



friday night: colts pre-season game




i love how into the game david gets.
check out all the people who came to the game! i love our stadium




saturday: nothing + mexican take out + gymnastics on tv :)


peyton likes to watch gymnastics too ;)




sunday: bbq with the family



my amazing burger, beans, taters, and corn
san pellegrino. looooove.
virgil's root beer. i love bottled root beer



oh august. you have officially kicked our ass.
in fact, just when i didn't think you could get any worse. you did.
on sunday i had to hear that one word no one ever wants to hear.
cancer.
my dad has cancer.
luckily they caught it very very very early.
so early in fact, they don't think chemotherapy will be necessary.
just surgery. he will find out for sure on friday.
so if you could please keep my family in your thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated.
my dad is the greatest person in the world. and i know he will get through this.

the boss.


ha...i'm talkin' 'bout bruce.
as in...
bruce springsteen.



the third love of my life (after david and peyton)

i really only care for him circa 1980-1990.
 rrrrarrrrrrrr! i'm on fire!

i have no idea where my strange bruce obsession came from.
but i just adore him.

opposites attract

i am an early bird.
he is a night owl.

i am a clean freak.
he is messy.

i love all veggies.
he doesn't.

i am a spender.
he is a saver.

i'm early.
he is late.

i love salty
he loves sweet

we may be opposites.
but it works perfectly :)
