And I Just Can't Hide It...

I have come to the reality that lately, as in the last month, I have been vacation minded. I have been so bad about jumping on the bandwagon in the blogging world, that I have seemed like I have abandoned it.

This past weekend was a great one, but busy I might add. I had to work late Friday night, and the hubster and I hit up the local movie theatre to see Saw VI. Gory, bloody, and scary = just what I like. Don't get me wrong, I love comedies and love stories, but there's nothin' like a movie to put you on the edge of your seat, and in your lover's arms. Needless to say, it was a good movie.

Saturday we had Mike's work over at the house for some yummy burgers and fixin's. I wish I would have gotten some pictures. I was so busy being "Good Wife and Hostess", that I forgot to bring the camera out. We laughed, and laughed, and I must say he is blessed to work with a great bunch that is our age. My hubby did a fabulous job grilling, and thankfully...he ended up being ok after synging the hair of his arms, and face. Yes, I said synging. If only I had a picture to go with this story. I look out the back door, and see my husband and the grill in gulfed in flames, with my husband turnin' burgers like nothin' was going on. Over sized flames on a small grill sitting on a wooden deck + a human being = no good. His hairless arm was the talk of the evening.

After the yummy burgers, we all headed to Death Valley Haunted Woods. I hate places like those, which you would think I would love them considering I love scary movies. No. I hate them. I hate Michael Myers. I hate the chainsaw guys. I hate Freddie Kruger. I hate them all. Luckily, I survived.

Afterwards, the hubby and I decided to head to Buffalo Wild Wings to catch the main event of the UFC fight. I think I was the only one in that place half asleep. I was tired....although I did find a new favorite beverage. It was mighty tasty, but not worth 7 bucks.

Now, the week is here, and it's almost Hump Day. I honestly don't think Sunday can get here fast enough. We are packing the truck and heading to Destin for the week. Mike and I have not been on a vacation since our honeymoon. And even our honeymoon was in Tennessee, which don't get me wrong, I loveddddddddddddddddddd our honeymoon. But I am now ready to get away. Far away. I am excited about seeing his sweet grandparents, and cousins. But I must admit with the excitement of vacation, I have had a mixture of sadness mixed it with it. I won't be spending Thanksgiving with my family this year (our family Thanksgiving is the weekend of the 8th). I promise you this, I will be thinking of everyone while I am away.

~ I have a sore on the back of my tongue that I believe is making my throat feel like it is hurting. I pray oh so hard that I am not getting sick.

~ I took a pregnancy test due to some certain signs, and praise the Lord, I am not pregnant. I believe truly, that Mike and I both will know when the right time is to have children. And with me praising God I'm not, if it were to happen, well then we would be thrilled, but as of right now we are trying our best to prevent the happening! :)

~ I am on the search for some new black boots. Perferrably dress and casual. I have been blessed with vulumptious calves, so unfortunately knee high boots do not look all that great on me. I would love to be able to wear them, but I can never get them to zip all the way up!

~ We leave November 1st for Destin. I absolutely cannot wait to go! Mike and I have not taken a vacation somewhere longer than a weekend since our honeymoon that wasn't to Georgia or Kentucky. I am stoked. From what I am researching, the weather during this time is nice during the day but a tad cooler in the evening. Either way, I'm excited.

~ Lastnight when I got home from shopping with the BFF, I put Kaci in these adorable spiderweb pajama's and noticed that she has pulled a chunk out of her tail. It is raw and red. Anyone know why they do this? I have heard 2 things so far...allergies and boredom. I hate seeing that happen, and I hope it doesn't continue.

~ Saturday night, Mike's gang from work is coming over for some burgers, and then for a fun Haunted House outing! Oh joy!

~ Well, as of right now the house is cleaned, lunches are made, and my blog posting is done! I think I'm ready for bed! Hope everyone has a marvelous weekend!!!

Back to Life

Yes, oh yes...I am back, and this here ol' blog of mine has been brought back to life. You see, I got myself a new Blackberry, in which I love, love, love! I thought I was a basic kind of girl, but after getting my hands on one, I was hooked. So, the hubs bought myself and him one. We are look like two peas in a pod. Well, after having my phone go off a million times the first day with email notifications of just JUNK mail, I decided I cwanted to start fresh and create a new email. I never realized what all that would do to a girls life. I had so much I had to notify to get changed on some accounts I needed to still hold on to. So after doing so, I figured how to get my blog up and running. I was pretty upset when I thought my blog had died.

Anyway. Life around here today has been pretty low key. Mike had to work this morning, so I just chilled around the house until he got home, which consisted on Kaci and I heading with him to Lowes to get an air filter for the house.

I'm guessing the whole point to this post is to let you know, that I have slacked for a bit, but I am back in the game! Happy Saturday to all!
