Saw this on my way home . . .

cracked me UP! Especially after the last couple of weeks. Anne asked if I rear ended her . . . I said maybe I need to get her info for Gamestop!? We obviously need her help! LOL

February 23, 2011

This was about the only good thing today! (only 2 points each) Pity Party of one please! It's kinda depressing when you don't like your job AND you suck at it! :(

February 22, 2011

Here's what my dinner was tonight. (banana under all those cheerios, and Chili ate some of it cuz I put too much in the bowl) Didn't have many points left after our auditors took us to Copeland's for lunch. Shrimp alfredo, crab cake, and cheesecake! arrgghhh . . . so good, but SO bad!

February 21, 2011

I haven't painted my nails in AGES! It's a kinda beige-ish-gray. I highly recommend the top coat . . . I had read the reviews, and it's as awesome as they said it was. Dries SUPER fast! It's called Seche Vite. (used the 3 bottles standing up, and the base coat with the purple top right in front)

February 20, 2011

Had a little retail therapy today . . . Ulta, Kohls, got my nails done, got my car washed, AND got groceries! Had to clean out my makeup drawer to make room for the new stuff, and cleaned out the drawer in the spare bathroom for my growing nail polish collection. (aren't those tiny bottles CUTE!?)

February 19, 2011

Happy Birthday Lauren! Can you BELIEVE how much you have changed since this picture was taken 2 years ago?

February 18, 2011

Happy Birthday Cecilia! Hope you got everything you wished for!

February 17, 2010

Anne, Brandon, and I went and celebrated the fact that the tax entries are DONE!! Haven't been to Chipotle in so long, and it was SO good! We discussed the fact that our punishment for screwing up this week, is going to be "quarterly hell weeks" instead of the "annual hell week" that we just finished. :(

February 16, 2010

After the day I had yesterday, today was a challenge. We finally got the final tax entries to accounting, and we are done! (still have some supporting schedules to prepare for the auditors). My husband sent me the BEST email today . . . it was so sweet, and unexpected, and TOTALLY made my day. I'm so thankful we found each other 4 years ago!

February 15, 2010

Tuesday was the worst day in my 16 year career as a corporate tax accountant. I didn't leave for home until 9pm, I literally cried all the way home, and then curled up in the fetal position in bed and didn't eat dinner. I made a formula error in our year end tax calculations that my boss didn't catch in her review, and we both wondered if we were going to be fired. She got chewed out for it today, but it's now over. It is what it is . . . at least I still have a job (for now).

February 14, 2011

Valentine's flowers from my sweetie! I love tulips, and they look so pretty with the blue irises. I gave him a box of sugar free millionaires (which I've probably eaten more than he has). Happy Valentine's Day!

February 13, 2011

Chick Flick Sunday . . . The Roommate at the theater (even had a coupon for free popcorn! woohoo) and Letters to Juliet from Netflix . . . and a pedicure in between! I needed the "me" time, and Robert enjoys being able to crank up the guitar while I'm gone.

February 12, 2011

I had SUCH a GREAT day today!! Robert and I did our "running around" today, and we haven't been able to do it in soooo long because of weather, or sickness, or work. It was beautiful outside, and I was lucky that my boss never called me to come into work. We went to the new Half Price Books in Mansfield (got a couple cookbooks that I've been wanting), then went thrift store "trolling" . . . found a couple of knick knacks, but really just enjoyed the company! Then got groceries, and cooked my sweetie an early Valentine's Day dinner. Also reorganized my kitchen (thus the picture), to make room for my George Foreman grill that I'm using a LOT. Also FINALLY made labels for my spice jars (been meaning to do that for YEARS!) After 2 REALLY bad days, it's nice to have such a great one to cancel them out! :)

February 11, 2011

Technically, this was my desk last weekend . . . I was just TOO busy to take one again today. I'm sure they'll be LOTS of personal comments in my scrapbook about all the CRAP that went on today, that I can't post on the internet! LOL

February 10, 2011

13 hour day without a break . . . so no picture. I'll probably include a copy of something I worked on today in my scrapbook. Tomorrow will prolly be even worse . . . yeah me!

February 9, 2011

OK . . I can't stand this weather anymore. I feel guilty for not making the 32 mile drive into work, I have to "try" to work from home without dial in access, and I have to work weekends for the rest of the YEAR to make up all the time I've lost (I don't have any vacation or sick time until July). I'm going to work tomorrow if I have to ICE SKATE in!!

February 8, 2011

More snow! Geezzzz. Really need to be able to go to work, we are BUSY this week, but it's not looking good. They are predicting a layer of ice under 2-6 inches of snow.

February 7, 2011

Check out what I saw this morning on my way to work! The Packer Mobile! Awesome! I googled it, and found the smaller inset picture. They looked VERY cold!

February 6, 2011

Here was the first sack of the Super Bowl at our house . . . he's sacked out! I'm not even sure he made it thru the 1st quarter? Pretty typical for him on a Sunday though! :)

February 5, 2011

This year Robert and I got our own Valentine's Day presents . . . I got a George Foreman G5 grill, and Robert got an Upper GI endoscopy! LOL We are SOO in love!! haha I've been shopping around for this grill for a couple weeks now, and I finally pulled the plug. Can't wait to use it tomorrow for the super bowl.

February 4, 2011

This is like HISTORY in the making! 4th day in a row that the schools have been closed. I haven't been to work since Monday, and doesn't look like I'll be going today either. We got about 3 or 4 inches of snow on top of the inch of ice!

February 3, 2011

Apparently cabin fever has officially set in if you decide that giving your dog a bath is a good idea! I'm not usually around him THIS much, and he STUNK! I think he wanted one too . . .cuz he jumped right in the tub when I asked him to! LOL

February 2, 2011

This weather is ridiculous! It was 76 this last weekend??! Had to work from home again today, and it's a PAIN! Can't get to the files I need, and we had a conference call with an auditor today that was SO confusing since my boss and I weren't in the same room.

February 1, 2011

My silly husband doesn't understand the concept of "snow day"! My work is closed till at least 10am, and I brought work home so that I don't have to brave the 30 miles to work. Luckily, Robert only works a mile away. It's not supposed to get above freezing till FRIDAY!

January 31, 2011

Happy Birthday Evan!

January 29, 2011

Happy Birthday Mom! Love this picture from the spring of 2009.

January 28, 2011

Tried to go to work today, but still felt awful. Decided to go to the doctor instead. I couldn't get in to see Dr. Schmidt, so went to the Urgent Care instead . . . and I'm glad I did. Dr. Schmidt probably wouldn't have done a flu test, and it turns out I have the flu! Spent an hour at the pharmacy (AGAIN) to pick up some kind of inhaler thing and some more cough medicine. Now I have NO vacation or sick days left until July 1st!

January 27, 2011

Spent ALL day in bed with 102 fever! Didn't do anything but sleep and watch TV. Robert was a sweetheart and stayed home to take care of me.

January 26, 2011

I'm sick. This is what my phone looked like when I got home and went straight to bed. The calendar appointments are actually things that happened this morning. Oh well. Going back to sleep with my 101 degree fever . . .

January 25, 2011

Are all pharmacy's this slow . . . or just the one's I go to? Waited 30 minutes this time! SIGH The coupons that saved me $70 on two prescriptions really threw them for a loop. Allergy pills, sleeping pills, antacids, and cheese and sour cream for Robert. Would have been $120 . . . got it for $50!

January 24, 2011

Rough day Chili?! LOL This was @ about 7:30 pm. It's about how I felt, that's why I was in bed, watchin' the Bachelor, and trying to upload the picture that WAS going to be today's pic! :)

January 23, 2011

Went and saw this movie today. Very strange! I honestly don't know what I think about it . . .

January 22, 2011

Robert filled 9 bags of leaves and hedge trimmings today, while I did the running around. Went and got my oil change, car inspected, and car washed. Then went to the scrapbook store in Waxahachie, and the antique store next to it, Kohl's, then the grocery store.

January 21, 2011

Happy Birthday Ian! (me, Robert, and Ian at his graduation this last summer)

January 20, 2011

I totally forgot to take a picture of this as soon as it came out of the oven! LOL It was SOOO much better than it looks at this moment. Papa Murphy's DeLite pizza . . half Hawaiian, half Mediterranean. Luckily I had 19 points left for the day, so I stayed within my daily points. Woohoooo

January 19, 2011

No picture today . . I put the Point tracker I got from going to the Weight Watcher at work orientation in it's place.

Joined Weight Watchers @ work today. Had already joined online, but thought I could use the extra help. It's only $10 a paycheck. About 50 people showed up for the first meeting . . so LOTS of support.

January 18, 2011

This day didn't start out good with a 9am conference call, followed by 2 hours of STRESS! By 11, I BADLY needed some retail therapy. Found this CUTE purse at Kohls. (of course it was on sale, everything is ALWAYS on sale there!)

January 17, 2011

It's a CONSPIRACY I tell ya! Those evil little girl scouts and weight watchers are working together to keep us all fat and happy eatin' these addictive things! arrgghhhh They are SO good! 2 points a cookie . . ate 2 today. NO MORE! LOL

January 16, 2011

Crockpot Sunday! That's what my Sunday's seem to be lately. It leaves me enough leftovers for the week so that I don't eat JUNK. Today was one bag of frozen chicken breasts, one packet of taco seasoning, one jar of salsa (blended for my preference), 2 cans of corn, 2 can of black beans . . . and 2 bags of instant rice added at the end. I can eat it with a couple of chips or on a tortilla, or just plain. mmmmmm Oh, and don't forget my flowers. Robert got them for me yesterday at the store. I LOVE tulips. And, of course there is CBS Sunday Morning on the TV in the background. Can't start out my Sunday's without it.

January 15, 2011

Oh, it's been TOO long. We finally brought in the experts to clean our house for us. Today was the "deep clean" and to see how Chili would act with them. I'm soooo excited to have a clean house, and I didn't have to DO it!

January 14, 2011

Another day, another day without a picture. Today's picture is actually a "warning" that I got for speeding on the way home from work. Since it's got a bunch of personal info, I'm not gonna include it online. But, here's what I said in the scrapbook . . .

Oooppss . . .had just snuck outta work early on a Friday, great song on the radio. Didn't realize I was going 57 in a 40! haha Got a warning this time.

January 13, 2011

Some things I want to include in my scrapbook, but not online. This is one of them. See ya tomorrow . . .

January 12, 2011

I can't believe how COLD it was today! This is TEXAS?! This was at about 8:15am on my way to work, and my phone said it was 25 degrees! We should atleast have snow if it's gonna be this cold!

January 11, 2011

My lunch. Taco soup and catching up with facebook on my phone. Didn't want to go out, so I could leave work as early as possible and get to sleep early. I coughed more than I slept last night.

January 10, 2011

Ugghhhh. Whatta Day! Coughed up BOTH lungs last night, so I called in sick to work. Then spent 2 hours trying to call the doctor for an appointment. They came in late because of the weather. Finally saw him at 2:45. Got an antibiotic shot (that's why I love this doctor . . shots!!). Feel better already. Also got some cough syrup and more antibiotics. Time to nip this crap in the BUD!

January 9, 2011

Not enough snow to shake a stick at! So, we threw the sticks in the fire, ate some Taco Soup, and watched the boob-tube. Did see some snow fall, but none of it stuck.

January 8, 2011

Looking at this view out my back window, I find it VERY hard to believe that we could possibly get 5 inches of SNOW tomorrow! AS IF! We'll see when I take tomorrow's picture . . .

January 7, 2011

Put up all the Christmas stuff today. Robert had actually taken down the tree last weekend, and I just got around to the rest of it while we were cleaning the house. Not much to put away this year.

January 6, 2011

This stuff is sooooo GOOD! Found it years ago at the grill store, and been using it ever since. Had Robert throw some chicken breasts in the oven before I got home with some Pecan Rub on them, and they were ready to top my salad when I got home! YUMMMM! And still have 4 points left for dessert!

January 5, 2011

Trying to wear my new fitbit everyday. Can even track my sleep with it. Didn't get on the treadmill this morning because of this DAMN cold. Maybe tomorrow? I'm tracking meals on weight watchers.

Trying this again . . .

Not promising anything, but trying this picture a day thing again. I got the "Project Life" kit, so I'm doing it "manually" instead of digitally. I'll just take the pictures, and catch up every so often. Here's the last 4 days:


Just 2 blocks from home. Gorgeous sunset tonight . . . but I'm soooooo tired of this commute. Need a job closer to home, or to win the Lotto!


Robert can't STAND this show! It's fake, it's scripted . . . and I LOVE it! LOL Tonight is the season premiere. First day back at work, sick, perfect night to veg in front of the TV!


Here is where I'm spending my day! Woke up feeling kinda puny. Robert is in his new studio, so I'm gonna PLAY today! I don't wanna go to work tomorrow! :(


Rang in the New Year at the lake with Shawn, Leah (hands in pic), Evan and Lauren. Seven of us played poker and I was the 4th one out. Better than I thought I would do. Lost $20. Bummer! :(

New Blog Theme for the new year . .

what'cha think?
