Ahhh Sundays

Sundays are for getting up late, non-church goer here, and laundry. Today I am sans-hubby because he's over at Andrews watching more football than any one person should be able to watch in any given weekend but thats what NFL sunday pass is all about. I've got laundry, hair dying and some good old fashioned bathroom scrubbing to do!! Lucky for me we have TWO bathrooms now and the guests, oh guests my ass, the guys and neighbor who come over every saturday night are rather clean and that bathroom doesn't need much attention. Hubby's field uniforms aren't bad either so I'm down to like 2 loads today. If I play me cards right I can be done with all the house madness by 3 to watch the Sea-chickens play Tampa Bay, sure.

Enjoy these tasty burgers from last night.....mmmmm

We're Back up and Running

Do to the fact that vox has sorta dropped off the face of the planet, at least all my friends who seem to have other cooler sites I'm back to my old stand by of Blogger. I like it, no adds, no Pepsi created templates and if I knew more about what I was doing I could add other neat things to my blog. So send help. K, I've got a big day and I've got to get a move on, I'll send pictures.

awww the weekend

The weekend has come again, and gone again. But then again I really don't have weekends. I worked on friday but had yesterday and today to enjoy. It wasn't so bad. I went on a crazy shopping spree yesterday, buy all sorts of wild things like a jewelry box and a magazine. CRAZY!!! The jewelry box was from tj maxx too so it was dirt cheap. Amanda and I went out and about yesterday while Evan did car silliness. We did stop by Hodgepodge, Paige's store downtown, and showed off our knitting. Amanda has a baby hat pattern thats make you wana puke cute and I have my standard felted purse. She wants prices and then some to sell. I'm all excited because she's got some great purses that she just got in that are really fantastic and I WANT ONE!!!! We headed out after the car silliness was done to see how well the subie drove, and went to dinner. After dinner we drank wine and laughed until the kitties looked at funny playing balgerdash. Today was a big day of doing not much. Getting up and working out. Lots of knitting, and cleaning. The fish got a clean tank....sooooooo very clean too. Eddie got a clean bin, and he's been running around and around in his wheel all evening making me look bad. Yes i still have eddie, i was hoping to be rid of him by now but since i can't seem to pawn him off on people I'm stuck with the little guy. I've been busy knitting for the passed few hours. Its now time for a cup of tea and more knitting.

Must blog.....must blog

So I just checked cnn to find out that the most annoying POW ever the one and only Jessica Lynch is knocked up by her boyfriend. I'm glad she got out the army before she did it. Good lord people, stop breeding. STOP!

While we where in seattle we went to the Woodland park Zoo and feed the birds there. You get a little stick with bird seed and about four birds who get the idea come over and get all the seed. It was fun. We also checked out the other animals but we didn't stay too long, because the yuppy moms and dads were starting to make us crazy.

Oh thats right I have time now...

Well any whoooo. Without all that pesky studying to do I've actually had time to do things, but really haven't. In fact I've been frantically cleaning my home. Top to bottom. Its just generally grubby. Little dead bugs in the spots that you never really see, and dust. My place looks great. I still have a few big things to do. Like the Kitchen and the front closet. Lots of cleaning. I still debating if I want to mess with the move or not. For like 50ish bucks more a month I get a bigger place with a patio and big kitchen but I do have to move and moving is a bitch. Moving moving moving, yuck yuck yuck. Plus all that pesky address change. Today was the best, I finally cleaned the piss out of the office. Its sooooooooo clean so nice, actually able to leave the door open again!!!!! I need to get the bathroom finished too, I need to get some stuff for the bathroom because nothing matches in there and its driving me a little nutters. I want some pictures for the walls. Well then Its time to go to bed. Talk to you latter.

WEeeeeeee in true Ben Stine form my PASS come on the screen and I am a MED TECH!!!!

Budgies a go-go

Well that has nothing to do with this post but it sounds good. SO I've been driving the mini almost everywhere I go these days. Learning to drive and drive and drive. Learn the art of turns and such. Still start to get panic-ie on hills, and don't maintain good petal pressure on the gas causing an almost stall. This is my problem. I'm working hard on it though. What else have I been up to. Went on a shopping spree in nashville for yarn, see soyouknit for those stories. Been studying very hard, hahaaaa. I should have know some leave dates by now but there has been some problems with como these days. Things beening how they are and such. Mmmmm things I've been doing things I've been doing. Today I slept because I worked last night. I got up and worked out and grocery shopped. Knitted and studyed. I also drove out to see Jen and safe her from the hell that was the last FRG meeting. At chuckie cheese. It wasn't pretty. Then we went for dinner. Adults should talk to adults. Small children also scare the crap out of me. I popped on over to Amanda's for tea and cookies and to watch some Daily show. It was good fun. Now I'm home watching tv and bloging. Wow what a life. Oh and Mike if you still read this thing, would you freakin email me. Nightie-night

This is the one and only Eddie. My rescue mouse. He's a smart little guy who just likes to hang out and run around. His ears are healing from the burns he got while he was out. If you haven't heard eddie's story he was let go in the plants near my door. I scooped him up and stuck him in a box. He's got a nice little mouse house and he'll go to a great 6 year old I know, when she's home from her summer vaction.

Adventures in Driving Volume II

Soo after many many fowl words, very unlady like fowl words too, I felt good enough or stupid enough to take the mini out to some roads with street lights. So It wasn't to bad, I'm finding that magic place here the car stalls out and where it doesn't. Resisting the urge to floor it, when I have a chance to go, but I'm getting better. I didn't stall it, not like the first night I drove it. I got some good driving in, with some little hills, figured out about that, gotta find that magic clutch in clutch out spot. But over all I'm doing it. The jetta just in no where as fun to drive as the mini. Sorry Jetta. Not to mention there's nothing like driving a car that makes people smile when they see it. Well me and and mini with its limo tint windows are going to take the rest of the day off, and maybe just maybe if I'm silly enough I'll drive it work tomorrow.

Adventures in Driving Volume I

Well now then... I got my cooper after some work. A little here and little there, and then boom no more passat Hello Cooper. It took all day but its mine now. The Mini as you can see is a fantastic color, and about the same color of my hair. It also has about 20% tints and black leather sooooooo when stopped at a light and having a cop behind me, guess what happened. Um yeah, BIG HUGE LIGHT!!!!!!! I got lit up by a cop at like 9pm driving the mini with my friends in it. Seeing as I'm not a native stick driver, I'm still stalling it at least once each time I drive it. But I did drive it down town for dinner. Everytime i drive it I love it, but it also freaks me out. So my dream car is mine now. Weeeeeeeeeee

MINI Cooper

MINI Cooper S!
Originally uploaded by aorr.

Ok so today in a moment of complete boredom and risking life and limb Evan and I went to test drive a mini cooper. Yes thats right a mini cooper. The car I have always wanted. A red velvet metalic 5 speed mini. I DROVE A 5 SPEED. The guy all but told Evan to take me to the nearest parking lot and show me how to drive the Damn thing, and that we did. So In one day I test drove my dream car, drove my first 5 speed, and latter in the day went 110mph on the freeway not in the mini. Um but we won't talk about that. So now I'm hooked on getting a 5 speed. I loved it. Theres nothing like having that kinda control over your car. I also loved the car. They wanted a bit more than I would give them for it so I'll have to talk them down. Oh well. Its not an S but its not a bad car. Thats the big news for the day. Amanda and Evan and I went to see the Omen after we had some Starbucks, than some late night wendy's salads and a good bottle of wine. God we're odd folks but its fun. I'm just thrilled about my learning to drive a stick. Think happy mini thoughts. CA

Em can you hold on just a bit longer. Oh hell it should be done by the time Gabe comes along. Ok. Well its like 12 am and I should go to bed.

Lou Diamond Philips

Soooo.... I've interupted my morning knitting to blog. Why, because its wednesday and as it turns out on Wednesday from 8-3pm I can watch x-files on the Sci-fi network. Yes I'm admitting to it. But as I watch I've discovered that Lou Diamond Philips has stared in ever last one of there made for TV movies. Just thought that was kinda odd and funny. Ok back to your regularly scheduled knitting.

Finally Friday..........

Well its not actually Friday but it feels like it me. I worked three days straight. All 36 hours at once. It was great to get it done, but it also sucked. Really freaking sucked. Mmmmmm what has happened since monday, oh yeah NOTHING. I haven't been awake or not working long enough to do anything. I took out some garbage, slept a lot. I even did a little yoga. But just once. Tomorrow I'll really work out. So did you see this thing on CNN about the women who beat the dog breader with a dead dog. Then as she drove away hung the dead dog out of the sun roof. Its sad and funny at the same time. Not to mention that while I was watching tv there's a rock paper, scissors event that will be on TV. I think AandE is starting to loose sight of the arts and entertainment thing. Oh well. Strange things.
night

Hell might have frozen over......

Yes thats right. I went and lounged by the pool in the sun in my swim suite and I didn't burn. We're talking like 4 hours of sun exposure. Granted I don't have a tan to show for it but I'm just proud I didn't burn. So I worked a bunch this week, which has been educational and fun at the same time. I've also learned that I'm ok at 3am, 4 isn't usually a good time but 3 not bad. So about the pool thing, yeah so that was odd, I've never been a lay in the sun and do nothing kinda person. I wasn't sure what to do with myself. But it wasn't a bad time. I headed out to dinner with my friend Caryn that night and then back home for a few beers and a movie. Today was short on sleep and long on doing nothing. So I should round up my study stuff for the week.
