What a Monday

Yesterday was very busy at work since I was gone on Friday, I had a lot of catching up to do.
Hubby hurt his thumb yesterday at work. It got smashed in a machine at work. He was not a very happy camper last night. He had to put a hole in his nail to relieve some of the pressure. It looks pretty nasty and just the thought of him putting a hole in it almost made me throw up.
tv update...
Let's see let's start with the Super Bowl...I've never been into pro ball until Kim and I became BFFs. HA I really wanted the Saint to win for her and Reggie :) On the other hand I was disappointed for Kendra and Hank..hehe How sweet was Brees after the game with his little boy?!?!?! I got emotional just watching him! That sweet baby was just precious! As for the commercials, I didn't think they were that great this year. I didn't think that the Oprah, Leno and Letterman was funny...maybe it's just me. I did think that the Doritos commercial with the little boy was pretty funny..two things you don't mess with...my Doritos and my mama! cute
Part of the reason I wasn't so "into" the game/commercials was b/c I was engrossed in my book. I didn't get to read much this weekend so during the game I got some reading time. I LOVE IT so far. I can only imagine why so many people have told me I'm going to be crying like a baby in the end. I will admit that last night I flipped to the end to see how many pages it was (to see how much longer I had) and I read the first line of the last page (I have a tendency to do that). Wish I wouldn't have b/c now I know something that happens...ugh Why couldn't I just allow myself to be surprised?!?! Anyways, I'm sure I'll finish it by this weekend. (I know that sounds like a long time but I don't get to read every night and b/c I'm such a TV slut I have to read when my shows aren't on :)
NEXT
I love me some One Tree Hill. I started watching when I was a Freshman in college (thanks to Lizzie and Courtney) and have done so ever since. I've even gotten Heather and Nicole hooked on it. It's still such a good show. At the beginning of this season I thought it may be my last season when I discovered that Payton and Lucas were GONE but nope, I'm still hooked. It gets better and better. I do, however, wish that they (the show/producer) could just let Brooke be happy. I want her Julian together! The previews for next week make it look like Julian and Alex hook up and boy oh boy I'm not going to be happy if they do!
Now on to the Bachelor!!! I was talking to my TV last night. I was mad that Ally was leaving and was even more pissed that he was trying to tell her to stay knowing that there was such a high chance that he wouldn't pick her. I did think that the episode was a little drawn out. I thought something was going to happen with someone else too. While watching I was texting back and forth with Ashley H. and Lisa. I told Lisa that I just knew that she (Ally) would be back at some point in the show. And what do you know, in the previews for next week Ally calls him :) I really do like her and she's so cute.
Hopefully tonight I'll get some good reading time in :)
OH YEAH...I did take some pics over the weekend that hopefully I'll get to post at some time this week...

Home, Please...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. As mentioned earlier, we've been in Maggie Valley, NC since Thursday. It's nice to get away but I'm ready to see my baby girl and sleep in my bed. I'm not big on cold weather and I've def gotten enough this weekend to last me a year. It's snowed and snowed, iced and more ice. The power has gone out a few times as well. Everyone went skiing today except for me and one of our guy friends (it's a group of 8 here). Well I just had a minute to catch up on everybody...later gaters

Phew

What a crazy last two days! We've been busy getting ready for our trip. We leave this afternoon. I think I'm more excited about a day off of work than going away. I know we will have a great time, we always do.
Last night we went to see an old co-worker of BJ's. BJ is borrowing some ski pants from him. I haven't seen them in months. The wife is 8 months pregnant and adorable. It was exciting to get to see everything that they have ready for the baby =) After that we did some marathon packing and went to bed. I got up earlier than normal and came into work 45 mins early (so that I can get out a little early) boy oh boy if feels like I've been here FOREVER!!!
Guess what I forgot to pack??? (we're leaving straight from work) My CAMERA!! Luckily BJ is getting off earlier so he's going to get it for me. phew...now if I just remember to use it :)
Say a little prayer for our travels and for BJ (no injuries while skiing)!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Simple Pleasures

Kelly along with a few others are doing blogs on Simple Pleasures today. I read them earlier but wasn't inspired until on my lunch, so here it goes...just to name a few...
Finding something cute for CHEAP! I absolutely love to shop and nothing excites me more than to find a good deal! (I bought a cute Miley Cyrus scarf from Wal-Mart for $6.00 today.)
Finishing a book. I used to HATE to read. I picked at my mom and family about reading for the longest time. I thought they were the biggest dorks. Well guess what, I'm officially a dork. It just relaxes me. So today while I was out I picked up this for my trip to the mountains this weekend!
A made up bed with warm, clean sheets right out of the dryer..that goes for towels too!
Text messages from my hunny!
Hugs from my brothers...they are the best huggers!
A clean house!
FOXIE ROXIE....enough said...she always brings a smile to face b/c she always loves me...even when I'm not the prettiest!
NAPS, especially on Sundays!
Chick flicks with the girls!
At the job...winning/settling a case(esp with a week like this week)...we won TWO today!
A child laughing...it just makes you smile!
I could go on and on about my simple pleasures but it's gotta end somewhere :)

Seriously Jake?!?!?!

Ok, come on Jake what in the world do you see in Vienna?!? She is so annoying and not cute..AT ALL. I'm beginning to get a little irritated with him.
Did anyone see the Today show this morning? How about that 10lb baby!!!! Holy Moly.....that makes me hurt just thinking about it.
And to top it off, the groundhog saw his shadow...I can't take another 6 weeks of this weather...let's hope it doesn't happen.
As for a wachovia update....UGH...can we say nightmare...(I know I shouldn't be going on about something this silly when there are real things that are happening to others every second but I need to vent) SO I get my new card via UPS this morning. I go online to activate it..enter my pin number...it says invalid....ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Call the 800 number once again, get a nice lady, poor thing, I wasn't in the greatest mood, she tells me that my NEW pin number will be coming via regular mail within the next few days!?!?!?!??!...I tell her that I'm leaving Thursday to go out of town for the weekend. I'm sorry sweetie. She says the only way that I can get it taken care of without waiting on the mail is to go into a branch. THERE ISN'T A BRANCH IN ORANGEBURG!!!! There is one in Bamberg but when I get home it is after 5. Thank goodness for hubby...looks like he'll be giving me mula :)

Wachovia, you've done it now....

So on my lunch break I decided to venture to Belks to get the Juicy Couture perfume that I've been wanting for the past couple months. (Seeing as nobody got it for me for Christmas...maybe this is my Valentine's to myself :)) Anyways...I'm checking out and the cashier says that my card has been declined...HOLD UP...Ma'am could you try again, that's not possible (I'm not saying that I'm rich but there is a lot more than the amount of this perfume!!!!).....DECLINED....Can you hold on one second while I try to reach the 800 number to see what's going on...those automated things REALLY get on my nerves...it's telling me they're having some problems locating my account...still the automated system...get me a person!!!....I'm sorry ma'am I'll just put it on this card other card. Thanks have a nice day, sorry! (SOOOO EMBARRASSED!!!!) Before I can get out of the door I'm calling the 800 and (over the voice of the automated person) saying SPEAK TO REPRESENTATIVE...."I'm sorry I did not understand you." PERSONNNNNNN. Anyways, Wachovia, when getting a new debit card (for my other account), they deactivated my other card, which I made it CLEAR that was NOT what I wanted. I told them there was no way that I could just wait around until who knows when to get a new card for THEIR mistake...needless to say they are overnighting one to me. But seriously....what an embarrassment. That cashier thinks I didn't have the money....

Four day week...

Just like I had guessed, the crappy weather made for a change in plans. I still had the boys Saturday but because the weathers was so nasty we were stuck inside watching cartoons and baking brownies. I wish I would have taken some pictures to share. They were def glued to the tv. That night we had the crew over for hamburgers to celebrate Tripp's 31st bday. Weston, his 3 yr old step-son, is just adorable! After supper the guys played holdem' until the wee hours of the morning, of course while Roxie and I were trying to get our rest. (We were both exhausted from the day with the boys and being cooped up all day.) Sunday we overslept church and had dinner with my parents and Gma. Later, we went to Tripp and Stacey's so BJ could help Tripp move something and I played with Weston and chatted with Stacey. That was the extent of our weekend.
This weekend we had for our annual ski trip in Maggie Valley. I'm excited to have the day off Friday :)
