Jen Lancaster- If You Were Here

I have fantastic friends that like my taste in books. Probably because we think alike. Like they say "Great minds think alike!"  When I worked with Charli, we both became obsessed with Chelsea Handler. Charli came across Jen Lancaster when she and I were downloading the Chelsea Handler audio books to our iPhones. Low and behold we fell in love (with Jen's books..) So we added Jen to our audio books collection. Steph is also a fan of Jen! (as well as a Chelsea fan) 
Steph and I took a rd trip into Dallas (last minute planning) to get our books signed by Jen! My first book signing. It was VERY exciting!  
Jen's first novel

Steph and I waiting in line @ Barns & Noble in Dallas to get our books signed!


Meeting Jen...she doesn't know it yet, but we are best friends :) 
I have Jen's autograph! AND she spelt my name right!



I highly recommend reading all her books!

For the life of me, I can not get on a regular sleep pattern. It's really messing with me. Once school gets started I think I will be able to manage my sleep time better. Lets hope at least. I have always been a night owl. I am just grateful that I am not sleeping the entire day away. What a waste of a day to sleep through it. I go to bed really late, but I seem to wake up at a decent time, for an unemployed person. I wake up, run my errands, clean and do laundry. I've noticed lately that I've gotten into changing outfits several times through out the day. I don't know why. Im not trying to impress anyone, I don't have anywhere really important to be. It's causing me to have to do a lot of laundry. I know, I find it very strange too. BUT I have also cleaned out my entire closet and reorganized EVERYTHING. My clothes are arranged by color, style and season. There is no such thing as clutter in my room because I have also cleaned organized and dusted my room along with my bathroom. I have nothing else to clean or organize and now I don't know what I'm going to do about next week. :-/ Netflix and I are becoming really close buddies. I have managed to blog and write more! My next project is getting my video blog up, I've tried a couple test runs, but I cant keep a straight face. I really wish I could be a little more serious. Im working on it.

I got to see the dress that I will be wearing in my friends wedding. I'm a little nervous. I, for one, dont like wearing dresses. We aren't wearing shoes. But we do have 'foot jewelry'. Thank goodness because I don't think sand and heels are a good combo. I'm sure I will still manage to fall and face plant into the sand. The sand will catch my fall? Im clumsy enough as it is on flat surfaces. Ashley's dress is beautiful and I cant wait to watch her walk down the aisle. I've watched so many of my friends meet and marry the man of their dreams. Tonight I came home to a frog sitting in the drive way. I pondered the thought to run over him, drive around him or pick him and kiss him...not so much...he hopped away before I could get to him. But i did manage to capture a picture of him! In reality there's no way I would even touch him. I was nervous even when I was taking his picture because I feared that he was going to hop towards me...


After making sure my frog friend was out of harms way, I noticed that there was another frog not far from him! EVEN this frog already had another frog lover.

My mood was lifted once I got inside the house where I found  my Skin-It cover for my iphone had finally arrived!
I now have the most coolest iphone EVER!


Can life get any better? I think not! :)



On another note:
I marked something off my checklist, unintentionally of course..
#79937: running down Glade pushing a car on a saturday before lunch.


I will never understand men and their love of cars. Especially cars that are older than dirt.
Dont ask me what kind of car this is or what year it is...because I have no idea. Just like men will never understand women and their love of purses, shoes, jeans and make-up. It is what it is.
 I just wanted to go to subway for lunch. So we jumped into this...

The car decided to die in the middle of the road. Pushing this thing was not easy. And it was horribly embarrassing running behind the car while traffic is piling up because of us. Lets not forget that I still have a bum ankle. I was a trooper and we were able to push the thing into the walgreens parking lot. I will not be working out for the next 2 weeks.

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...

My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...
