It’s Friday again.  First, I need to share this story that someone shared with me.   My first response was, oh my goodness.  My second thoughts was OH MY GOODNESS! it’s in an UK paper.  Yeah, the US is so smart.

Now, on to our regularly scheduled programing.

1. Did you know that Voila is how you spell that work that sounds like whalla.  Yeah, I didn’t either because I don’t speak French.
2. I lost three pounds this week ~^*^~ <== that would be my happy dance.  LOL
3. I guess my sister and nephew will be moving here around November 9th.  When I say here, I mean HERE as in my place.
4. I’m keeping my eyes open for a bigger place.  (You did read #3, right?) I just keep going back and forth as to whether I want to buy or rent.  I’m leaning towards renting.
5. The fair is going on right now.  I might go tomorrow but don’t really know.
6. It’s been so cold this week.  Last weekend was so hot.  Now it’s cold.  I’ve been wearing sweatshirts most days and had to find my umbrella.
7. I cleaned my office this week.  OK, maybe cleaned isn’t the right word, I sorted and organized, kind of.  OK, you can see the floor and my desk has room to work on it again.
8. I think I’m going to eat leftover pizza for dinner tonight.  Maybe, I also took some beef out to make beef rolls but I might do that tomorrow instead.  Too many decisions.
9. Many of you know my really good friend Carolyn.  Well she made a super cool announcement this week that knocked my socks off.  Seriously, you have to read her news and send her congrats.  (Yes, that’s random but I keep opening that page and rereading her news because I’m so excited for her!)
10. It’s Friday, I kind of want to take an early weekend but the work is calling so….

Have a great one!

It’s FRIDAY!  Woohoo!

1. It’s going to be hot today, in fact, it’s already hot and it’s barely 10AM.  I don’t like HOT.
2. The cat is doing really well.  He’s learned to let me sleep at night and occupies himself during the day when I’m trying to work.  He loves his throne and likes being by me but is OK with not being ON me.  :)  WooHoo!
3. Did I mention it’s hot?
4. My plants look like crap.  The heat is really destroying them and they look like I lost my green thumb. I’m so upset, I love my plants and now I have a bunch of scraggly looking things all over my front porch.
5. People are annoying me today.  Other people are screwing things up for me and making things not work out like they should.  I’ll get through it, they are just annoying me.
6. Last weekend I made some cool hair clips and when I showed some people I got a bunch of orders for them.  I’m excited.  I need to work on perfecting the design a little bit because I need to take it up a small notch to get the price I want for them.  But, I’m super excited.
7. I also designed a pretty cool new product and had an awesome friend do a more professional design.  As soon as I get the raw material too her she’s going to work up a prototype to go to the test phase.  I already have orders for that if I can get the final design worked out and produced.
8. It’s Friday and I have no plans for the weekend other than babysitting a friend’s kids.  This sucks.  I hate having no weekend plans, I usually end up sitting at home when that happens.
9. My sister thinks she and my nephew might be moving up here.  If she does she’ll be living with me for a while while she gets settled.  Which means I need a bigger place.  Guess that’s one way to get away from the annoying upstairs neighbor.
10. Did I mention that is HOT!?!

Have a great weekend! 

It’s Friday.  Yes, I know it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted any randomness so…

1. Jeeves is learning to stay on his throne (aka the chair next to my desk) and let me work (most of the time).
2. I have a friend coming by this evening and I’m cooking dinner.  We haven’t hung out in a while so I’m excited.
3. My flowers outside are gorgeous.  :)  I love the warm weather and watching them grow.
4. Someone (OK, a few people) at one of the organizations I belong to is irritating me.  They want to change things that DON’T need to be changed (as in dumbing down a good thing to make it “easier”).
5. I have some movies I need to return.  I’ve had them too long…I should have mailed them back but keep forgetting.  I’ll take them to blockbuster today and get new ones.
6. I’m really getting annoyed that I can’t perfect my iced coffee recipe but something isn’t right.  :(  Today’s version is passable, but last week’s version was passable too.  But, at 50 calories a glass I HAVE to perfect it.
7. I just finished authorizing the transfers for all my domain names.  That was a chore.
8. I just heated up my lunch.  It doesn’t look all that great but it tastes OK.  Now if Jeeves would just keep his nose (literally) out of it.
9. I’m trying really hard to concentrate on work today but it’s FRIDAY and I keep get distracted.
10. I went to a new (to me) bakery in town yesterday for lunch and brought home a sticky roll.  It’s DELICIOUS and I want more of it right now but am going to hold out since I cut it into thirds and the last piece has to wait until tomorrow.

OK, it’s Friday and I’m (mentally) done with work.

1. I was so excited this morning — there was a moving van out front and they movers would going to the apartment above me. But, alas, it was a false excitement because the movers were quickly on their way. (I’m still confused as to what they were doing there but I guess it’s really none of my business.)
2. I am completely obsessed with looking at my flowers outside. Fortunately it’s kind of cold this week or I’d probably be sleeping out there so I could look at them more. LOL (OK, not really because then I’d be more likely to see Mr. Creepy.) But, seriously, I go outside like 10 times a day just to stare at them.
3. I really want to get a nice patio chair (or two) for my front patio (yes, so I can sit and stare at the flowers for longer periods of time). I have some chairs on the back patio but I want another one for the front patio so I can enjoy that area too. Maybe I’ll look this weekend, hmm….there should be sales, right?
4. My computer is really annoying me. I need to replace it but I don’t want to spend the money (I’m cheap) besides whenever I go to look at them online I get all confused because I don’t know what I want. Any recommendations? All the talk about RAM and memory and processors is just greek to me.
5. I’m totally bummed that I don’t have any plans for Memorial Day. I wanted to go somewhere but the entire panhandle is under flood watches or warnings and many parts are literally under water so I guess I’ll just stay on dry land. (Plus, I don’t have anyone to go with me so I’ll stay home.)
6. My mom freaked me out today. She sent me a picture message of my nephew and his eyes were swollen as big (or bigger) as golf balls. He’d had an allergic reaction to something. She was holding him on her lap waiting for my sister to arrive. I’d tell you how he is but my sister isn’t replying to phone calls or text messages. (And no, she’s not still at the doctors with him.)
7. I seriously HATE junk mail. It’s gotten to the point that I rarely go to the post office any more because all I get in my PO box is JUNK. Will someone send me something fun there so I have a reason to go, sheesh.
8. I want tacos for dinner. I realized last night that I haven’t had tacos in a long time. I love tacos. I seriously could eat tacos every night for dinner (and almost did for a while a few months back LOL) but I haven’t had them in a couple months. Hmm…maybe I’ll go get some tortillas so I can have them tonight (or better yet maybe I’ll just take myself out to dinner tonight).
9. I want to go to church tonight, but I have home group and haven’t been in a few weeks and told them I’d be there this week. (I would rather go to church, though.) I think I need to call my brother and see if they are going tonight…then I’ll go with them and miss home group again.
10. I have some pictures of my niece on my desk. They are from December when we went to Princess Wishes. They were on my dresser but I moved them to the office a couple days ago. This one is my favorite and makes me miss her each time I look at it (pretty sad…she lives about two miles away and I miss her LOL).

1.  I just had the yummiest dinner ever (recipe to follow in another post — yeah two in one night).  OK, maybe not ever but in a long time.

2.  I haven’t been sleeping lately….something has been keeping me up at night — something on my mind that just won’t go away.  LOL

3.  I really dislike my upstairs neighbor.  He sucks.

4.  I’m so into candles today…I have them burning everywhere.  I love candles.  I especially love my new Stephens’ Candlery Blueberry Cobbler jar candle.  OMG, it’s so YUMMY.  I love, love, LOVE their candles.

5.  I went grocery shopping today.  I really dislike grocery shopping…it’s so stinking expensive but necessary.

6.  I started my planting yesterday.  My seeds had sprouted and needed to get in pots but they look so pathetic in the pots because they are so small.  LOL  Plus, it’s still too cold at night so I have to bring all the pots inside.

7.  Crazy me, all my grocery shopping today and my dinner didn’t use ANYTHING that I bought today…funny thing is yesterday I insisted there was NOTHING here to eat.  LOL  Yeah, I’m crazy.

8.  I still don’t like my upstairs neighbor….I still think he sucks.

9. I had a super, awesome, productive week at work.  :)  It ROCKED.  woohoo

10.  The weekend better be the last of our yucky weather.  I saw the weather report for the week and it’s supposed to be getting GORGEOUS.  Woohoo…more time at the lake.  Hmmmm…..think I won’t be sleeping again tonight. LOL

Happy Friday!!!

Till later….

My best friend, Carolyn, posts 10 Random Things for a Friday every week. Well, almost every week, she missed posting this week because she is busy being Grandma to her brand new, not even 36 HOURS old grandson, Brandon (who I think just happens to be kind of cute).

So, anyway, she gave me permission to copy her because I love reading her random Friday postings every week so much that I thought it would be perfect for my RANDOM RAMBLINGS blog. So, here’s my first entry of

RANDOM FRIDAYNESS. LOL Yeah, I’m weird.

1. I ate Cheeto’s today. Yes, I know they aren’t on the “diet” but I’ve been craving them for over a week and gave in last night and bought a small bag. Today I ate them.
2. My exciting Friday evening activity…filing. Can you tell me a more pathetic Friday night activity because I can’t think of one. I FILED to pass the time on Friday night. I need a life or a date.
3. I decided I want black end tables in my living room. I even found one I like at Target today except it was $99 and I didn’t think they were worth $99 EACH. So, I’ll keep looking
4. I still need to get my brakes replaced. I should have done it this week but, well, I procrastinated.
5. I bought baby gifts today. (Now I just need to mail them off.)
6. Tomorrow I’m going to a stamp camp. I’m super excited. I can’t wait to see the projects we’re going to do.
7. The weather tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. I’m not holding my breath.
8. I got a new phone this week. I’m only slightly excited (that’s the understatement of the year). I got a Blackberry Pearl. I’ve only wanted a smartphone for forever and I finally got one. I really think it will be good for me for work. Oh, and it’s pink.
9. I need a massage. Seriously, I NEED a massage. This is NOT a want, it’s a NEED.
10. I purchased the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video. In case you don’t know Jillian is one of the trainers on Biggest Loser. I did it. I thought I was going to die.

Till later…
