Talkative Tuesday

This morning, I thought I was literally dying. Lately it seems as if anything I put in my mouth causes some sort of stomach issue, which this morning, put me behind alot. Since another co-worker wasn't gonna be in till noon, I hurriedly scrunched my hair (which in fact doesn't even hold since my hair needs to be trimmed so bad), and I wasn't even able to put some mascara on!!!! So yeah, I look like walking death today. Anyways...enough complaining.
This past weekend, my Lovey admitted some pretty exciting news to me! He said that he wanted to get a puppy, and that he was gonna talk to Jason some more. Mike was thinking that they would re-consider since we are looking into buying the house some time this year. I about died...since I had pretty much given up on that idea. So, as of right now, Jason was gonna talk it over with his wife, Amy and let us know. We looked at a particular adoption website (NewLeashonLife), and browsed through some breeds we might consider.
I'm lovin' that today is actually sunny and clear. The temperature could be alittle bit warmer, but hey...at least it's not cold AND rainy.
Well, last night I applied for some more jobs. I'm really praying hard that these will start looking hopeful. When Mike and I went to Verizon last night, I saw an old friend, Tina from High school and who I worked with at Wilson Bank. She is a now working for a hospital here in Nashville doing clerical work. She told me a website to go on, and that they were always hiring for different departments, hospitals, and Dr's offices. Just from that website alone..I applied for 8 or 9 different postings. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something will come out of this.
Anyways. Hope everyone has a good day! We're one day closer to the weekend! :)

TGIF

My rambling must start now. It has been a very slow day here at the office. No one is here and it's just Jenn and myself. The boss is out enjoying her day with her husband, and Paula is heading to Atlanta. I started by making some phonecalls which ended in "I'm not really that interested, but thank you anyways". The funny thing I find is that Southern charm. We southern people, always have to add the "but thank you anyways". I love it. So right now, I'm taking a few minutes to blog away. Earlier this morning, I was talking to my boss. She found this really interesting website called RootsWeb.com where you can find people who have passed on. I found my mom on there. It's still so surreal to an extent to see her name plastered up in a list of names. Her birthday is April 10th, in which she would have been 55 yrs old. WOW.
On a different note, I'm so glad today is Friday. Everyone always seems to be in a better mood. I'm excited about this weekend. Tomorrow, Mike and I are heading to Glascow, Ky for our Easter lunch with my grandparents and family, and not to forget that it is my younger brother's 20th birthday! WOW! Crazy how time flys. I'm so proud of the man he has become. Although he's still my brother, and can drive me nuts :), I do love him. Then Sunday, we're gonna meet up with Jimmy, Michelle and their baby girl for lunch. I can't wait to see them. It's been too long since we have all hung out. Sunday night, of course is UFC. I think Mike and I may be heading to Lee's house to watch the fight.
Well, the sun's peeking out right now. It's a little chilly outside, though. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice, and I am so glad. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Spring Showers and Resumes....

Today, I must say was a very long day. I took the day off to go out and about in the nearest towns to hand out my resumes. The whole day, Mike would send me texts, "How's everything looking?"...and honestly I have no clue. Right now with the economy being how it is, this isn't the greatest time to be looking for employment. I know everything is in God's hands, and no matter what Mike and I will be taken care of, but still. I am thankful to have a job, but honestly if I don't start looking, she's gonna let me go. I can feel it. I am the agency's Bank Representative and my numbers, aka Quota, is not being met.
This morning I headed to the next town over known as Gallatin. I went to several hotels, I hit up a few credit unions...a few banks, and then around to the other side of town, Lebanon. There, I stopped at several more hotels, some Dentist and Doctor's offices, and a bank or two. I grabbed some lunch at Zaxbys, praying I would not drop any sauce on my outfit because I still was not done with my "Resume Route" as I should call it. I drove on to Mt. Juliet hoping and praying I would find something. Within Mt.Juliet, for those who have been there, there's either a bank or a church on every corner it seems like. So I dropped one of at some more banks, I hit up the Middle TN Electric Company...and a Holiday Inn. Not to mention, yesterday I faxed in several of my resumes to different offices and health clinics. Shouldn't out of alllll those places, I hear something???! So for those of you who pray...please pray for me. I know what is meant to be will be.
On another note...we have some serious weather going on in Middle Tennessee. I think both Mike and I have jumped a few times here and there. It's got the ugly grayish green coloring outside...the color of a tornado hitting at anytime. If that happens, we have our location picked out to go running to! :)

Talkative Tuesday

I don't know why I feel like I haven't blogged in awhile considering I just did a posting on Sunday. This week so far has been good. I started the week out with a clean house, and all my laundry done minus a load in the dryer that needs to be folded. The weather has been splendid so far. Last night I spent some time outside with my Lovey while I watched him weed-eat. Thank goodness my allergies didn't act up. Dinner was good, although it was a bit unexpected. Mike invited Papa Ronnie (his dad) and lil' Cameron, whose 3 to come grill out some steaks and hang out. That was nice. Papa Ronnie alway's grill's the best steaks...hands down. We had mashed potatos, cream corn, crossaints, apple sauce and a salad. Very good, but my Lovey will be eating left overs. I am so excited about my sister, Amber and her hubby, David coming to town to stay with us. Not to mention this will be our first house guests since we have lived there. I hope the bed's compfy. Saturday, Amber and I are heading to the Nashville Flea Market to do some treasure hunting. I haven't been in so long, and I have been itching to go!! It will be good times. Well. I am at work right now, and so much for paragraphing this posting. I have a stack of paper's I must go through and delete on the computer...not to mention the gazillion papers I need to scan. Ugh. Anyways. Hope everyone has a great day today! :)

Why I Won't...

So I came across one of Husband's books, and it's called...(I can't believe I am sharing the title), "Uncle John's Fast-Acting Long-Lasting Bathroom Reader", yeah..pretty funny. It's actually pretty interesting if you haven't seen it. It's one of those books that contains all sorts of topics and things you would never think to ask or whatever. So...I'm looking through it and there's the question asked What is really in Hot dogs? YACK! ((GAG))

All manufacturers must list their ingredients on the label. Beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc can only be used if the meat comes from muscle tissue of the animal. If you see the words 'meat by products' or 'variety meats', the hotdog may contain snouts, stomachs, hearts, tongues, lips, spleens, etc. Frankfurters once contained only beef and pork but now can legally contain sheep, goat and up to 15% chicken. Hot dogs are made by grinding the meat with water, seasoning, sweeteners, perservatives, salt, and binders.

Now, that that's said...what kind do you eat??

Thinkin' Outloud.

~ I have started taking my Phentermine again. I went to the doctor on Wednesday, and thank goodness, she was willing to put me on it again. I started yesterday morning, and I can already fill it. I know, I know...alot of people think pill popping is horrible, but this is my last resort. Alli didn't help, Hydroxycut is just a waste of money..but in the past I had great results with it, so hopefully I get the same this time.

~I'm really looking forward to having dinner tomorrow night with my parents. It's funny how when I lived with them, it seemed like due to my part, I would hardly ever see them due to me being out and about and coming home just to say "How was your day, and I'm going to bed"....but now I look forward to seeing their faces, and actually talking with them. Strange how when life changes, you change.

~Right now, one of my sweetest friends, Joy is on her cruise. She, along with her mom and several other family members set sail yesterday around 4. I know she was excited, and I can't wait to hear all about it...and see pictures!! :)

~For the mice update in our home...we have set poison traps all over the house, and I think it's starting to work. I was folding laundry lastnight, and I heard one in the hall closet. It's such an erry sound to hear. It clawing away at a box or something. Give's me chills. My hubby thinks I'm dramatic for constantly looking when I hear a noise. Haha, Leave it to Liz as I say.

~Work has been good so far for me. I have had a few car loans done...and to see that people will actually give you a chance to save them some money is encouraging. Who wouldn't want to possibly save some money on a car payment? Now if only I could get some customer's to open some saving and checking accounts...that would be wonderful!

~As far as our house goes. Mike and I are wanting to buy it this year, that has all along been the plan. It's getting closer and closer to that time, so hopefully we will be Homeowners in 2009!! :)

~I'm excited about March 21st!! For all you Edward lovers...it is when Twilight will be out on DVD for sale!! :) I cannot wait! Although lately, I must admit I haven't done alot of reading lately. I'm in the second book..."New Moon"...and it's great! I just haven't made time for it. Maybe this weekend I will finish it up!

~TGIF!! Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend! Although this TN weather is crazy dreary...I'm looking forward to laying low! :)

So, apparently I got Fooled!

Yes. Today, at this very moment..I am not typing away at the office, I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder...I'm not even answering the phone every 2 seconds. Why?? Because I am sick, again. Bummer. Tuesday, I had the blessing of stomach issues in which I was a tough girl and suffered through with it while I was at work. (I know, I hate when sicklings come to work, but I would have made them short staffed had I not come in!). I thought I solved it by taking pepto and some immodium that night. Yesterday, I had a scratchy throat, but I could handle it..everything felt much better in other departments. So, this morning I wake up and OWEEEEEEEEEEEE! As my sister said, it felt like blades slicing her throat everytime she swallowed and boy was she right! Along with that, my ear is doing this crazy pop sensation. No fun. So, I guess when I said I wished I could stay home with the hubby sometime on his vacation this week, my wish came true. Only in a different way. :(
