Wordless Wednesday - Sort of.....

I'm right in between the 2pm and 3pm feeling.....blaaaaahhhh!! 

I wish I was on vacation already.  The hubs and I have yet to decide on this years vacation.  Hmmm...local or out of state???

Pin It

No snow in Houston

Man....was I excited for the snow that was coming.  The forecast was to be 1-3 inches or maybe more in some places.  Well it didn't happen!

Snow in Houston = Big Fail

I mean I know better than to believe the weather man but he just broke my ♥ !! lol!!  I loved how they went from Winter Storm to Ice Storm 2011...All we got was ice, ice and more ice.  Frozen roofs, iced patios, ice on the windshields, dead plants......Closed bridges, closed schools and *thank God we finally closed! We were supposed to go in at noon, but luckily the bosses watched the news and help us out by not having us risk our lives or our vehicles*.  *Sarcasm*

Anyways, basically all of Houston and the outer parts of the city was shut down. There were more than 800 accidents that day alone....a lady even had her baby on one of the overpasses....that's crazy.  And now she'll have to like name her child some wintry weather name like Icee, or Sleet or maybe Snow Storm! lol!  Well I'm glad they're safe.

Well winter is not over yet, so I hope I get to see some kind of snow soon!

I'm not going to say anything negative!

1. I'm not going to say anything negative!
2. I'm not going to say anything negative!
3. I'm not going to say anything negative!
4. I'm not going to say anything negative!
5. I'm not going to say anything negative!

if I just count to 10, say my mantra and breath I think I'll be okay....... some people can be so oblivious to what's going on. (okay I said 1 thing)

So it is gonna snow!!

Well it hasn't started yet.....so I'm still debating if it will or not!!  Ok, I believe it! It's just it hardly ever happens and I ♥ the snow.  I will post pics of it when it happens....hehehe!!  **giggles like a schoolgirl**

So our little snow is no biggie!!  But the City has shut down, sprayed the highways and closed the schools early and will be closed tomorrow.  Hello, Houston shuts down when we have flurries......Which is good cause we have no idea how to drive in the stuff. Houstonian's also don't know how to drive when it rains. ☺ But I'm glad the companies did what they did, they want people to be safe...  Except ours! 

Everyone be safe out there...  I know up North they are getting pelted by this winter blast.

House project 500,000!

So our project this weekend was painting our bedroom!  We love to work on our house, but it is hard work!!  I don't think my profession could be a painter, a construction worker, or a gardener! That stuff is backbreaking!  My arms feel like they're gonna fall off, and my feet hurt from all the up and down and standing on the ladder!  We've pretty much painted the whole inside by ourselves, and we always get complimented on how good it looks. I always say "Why thank you, I have mad skills with the paintbrush."! lol!

We're done and it looks absolutely gorgeous....a very nice Blue color.  It's very, very modern looking!  We were very happy the way it came out, I'm now thinking that I want to paint my laundry room this color.  That's another project for another time. ☺ 

And adding to the new technological experiences or laziness for me....I ordered a pizza online! It's amazing, I guess anything can be done online now!  I know that ordering online has been available for a couple of years, but I just never got into it, I like to talk to real people when I order food!! lol!

Okay....have to get ready for the next football game  Jets vs. Steelers!!   I'm gonna have to go with my pretend boyfriends team  the Jets....and my pretend boyfriend is Mark Sanchez...YUMMY!!    They really need to bring it today against the Steelers.

Later peeps!!  Comment or follow!  Thanks!

An Obvious Opportunity

Everyday is an opportunity to do or be something great, amazing, kind, sweet, helpful - I could go on and on!  Why can't people see that? It's obvious because we woke up.

When you wake up, take your first breath of the waking hour and decide what good you will do today! I've decided to better myself and the things around me.  I can't let society, work, family or whatever keep me down or from doing the things I need to do to make it.  I have better and greater things still waiting on me.  One day I think we'll eventually come to a meeting point. 

I've become so complacent at my job, so used to doing the same daily routine....I've forgotten stuff, simple little stuff like spelling, lol!!  A while ago I was writing a letter and spelled out the word "tomorrow" - i kept staring at like is this right?  I told my honey I think my job is making me dumb!! lol!   My goal is to not retire at this "JOB", lol! This is the reason I've started reading more books, started this blog.  I've become more involved in the community and  with my friends!!  I needed to broaden my horizon's, continue learning more and more thing!!  Knowledge is power!

Today I was talking to one of my good friends and co-workers about how life has become!!  We both can see the stuff that goes on in the world.  We can see how things need to change.  We can see how we both need to make a change in our lives.  I believe we're moving in the right direction!! Oh and a shout out to him and his lady --> They just got engaged over the Holidays!!  ♥

I think "WE" all need to make changes to better this world!

First work week of the year!!

I'm soooo dreading going back to work tomorrow! I know it was only Thursday that I was there...but that's so last year.   Okay instead of making a ridiculous resolution, I am calling it a "promise" - (yes..please do the quotations with your hands in the air) that I would attempt to wake up early and actually do something with my hair instead of the usual pony tail and also to get to work early.

This year will be my 11th year with the company....and basically I've been late every single day!  I honestly don't know why they haven't let me go...Oh, probably cause they do see some value in having me there!!  That's the only thing that I can come up with.  Anyways that's one of the things I'm gonna try to do this year. 

Also I will try and lose 10lbs or 5....let me go ahead and make it 5, you know keep it easy!  Well try to lose 5 pounds by my birthday.  I think that's reasonable, I don't want to get burned out with 7 days a week exercise and the thought of losing 75lbs by summer....yeah...highly unlikely!!  But, I already cheated! Honey and I already hit up McDonald's....so this weight thing will be a work in progress...hehehe!!

Okay, that's it for tonight! I have to get to bed if I wanna keep that whole getting to work early thing alive!!
