The car in front of me at Taco Bell this evening had one person in it, and a total over $34.00. Amazing. I am wondering if I ordered one of everything on the menu, if it would even total that much.






This past Saturday I was lucky enough to score some sweet suite tickets to the Big 12 Championship game at the Sprint Center. My bro and I had a good time watching the Cats, even though they lost. The fully stocked bar and snacks helped things a bit as well.

Still on the job hunt.....Maybe this year my bracketology will pay off....

Jennsylvania fan

Although I have not been a big reader in the past year with all of the medical stuff, I have read about 8 books so far this calendar year, and 3 of them have been by the same author, Jen Lancaster. She is an awesome writer, and I laugh out loud reading her books.


I have read Pretty in Plaid, Bright Lights Big Ass, and Bitter is the New Black. I am waiting to get ahold of the Such a Pretty Fat book, but my library is out of stock, I am on the list when it arrives. After reading more about Jen (first name basis, now that we are friends), I saw that she has a great blog www.jennsylvania.com with some pretty funny daily posts, is coming out with a humor column in some newspapers and a new book later this spring, My Fair Lazy.

Now, with all of that being said, I am proud of myself for these reading accomplishments. I have also read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah, The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski, 29 and Holding and the Resilience Factor, The Nanny Returns which was the sequel to the Nanny Diaries and the Pretend Wife. I know I am forgetting one or two, but either way, I am confident I am due for a:


Personal Pan Pizza!

Good Day

I think yesterday constituted a pretty good day. Had two great interviews, one for a job, the other for an upcoming project. The job interview went really well and I am hopeful it will go somewhere, as it would be a perfect fit.
Then, came home to find a $50 check in the mail for me as a refund from a drs. visit. If you know me and the past year I have had, I think you would understand my surprise, excitement and confusion in receiving this check!
Went to the local grocery store,most of the items I had in my cart were on sale with my trusty shopping card.
Then came home to find the tulip bulbs I am raising in a cylinder vase are just beginning to bloom (indoors), but the ones will follow suit outside I am sure.

A Little Fun with Old Pictures

This week was retro photo week on facebook, or atleast it seemed to be, so I asked the parents to scan a few old photos for me to use.
1. Photo of my brother and I when I was about 3 years old, and he was about 7. I hope to find him a shirt like that for the next holiday.



2. Photo of Coach Jojo helping me with my helmet for Angels t-ball!


3. 7th grade basketball at East Middle School. Nice uniforms, I remember them being extremely itchy and uncomfortable. This was before I learned about the great service of waxing eyebrows!

Little Apple

This past week I went on a fun trip to the Little Apple, to visit friends, and watch the Wildcats play Texas A&M.
All in all, it was a great trip. I was able to meet my best friend Bri's new man, and he definitely passes the test. He takes out the trash, is very nice to Bri and even sets and baits mouse traps for Bri and Melissa! All of those things are very nice in my book, and so far I would say he is a keeper. Unfortunately, he does not take photos, so I could not capture him on film.

Peace Out 2009-

I don't think I accomplished many resolutions for 2009, but I finished the year, so that is the biggest accomplishment!

Here's hoping 2010 is much better by leaps and bounds! Some goals for the year include:
Finding a job
Traveling more
Saving some money
Keeping in better touch with friends
Staying healthy and out of hospitals and doctors offices
Reading more
Learning to knit more than just scarves
and many more...

What are some of your goals for the year?
