Lazy day...

Nothing to watch on TV....no energy to do anything! Blah! What to do..what to do..

Seahorses Forevea!

Someone up at work shared this video and it spread around the ER like fire...It is the funniest thing ever!! And I can't believe that I have not shared it on with you guys as well..... Drinking out of Cups...the story behind it is that some friends were together tripping acid and one of them went into a closet and just started rambling to himself...his friends then recorded it and then added animation.

I love this video - I have it saved on my favorites on my iPhone and watch it whenever I have a bad day!!!

Toodle-oo!

Shape-ups

According to Sketchers website the Shape-Ups are suppose to get you fit while you walk work shop and more!! However you don't look very cool doing it!! I have heard people rave about how comfortable these shoes are and they might very well be ....but I think they are soooooo....freakin ugly!!! And I've seen people walk in them and the like almost bounce around its sooooo weird. Now if I were to spend over 100.00 on some tennis shoes that are suppose to help tone my ass while doing daily chores then I think I would go with the Reebok Easy-Tone  version .... they look so much more normal!!

 

However this is what their website said about how their shoes work to tone you....

Reebok uses unique balance pods with moving air built into the shoe that provide natural instability with every step, which forces your muscles to adapt and work harder.

Provides NATURAL INSTABILITY....thats the part that frightens me!! I am already naturally instable running into door frames and knocking my knees on the coffee table and stubbing my toes tripping over Brads shoes...I don't think I need any additional assistance in that department ...and if you know me personally at all I am sure that you would agree!!

What are your thoughts on these type of shoes...have anyone of you tried them?? 

Safe & Sound

As many of you know and or experienced ....we were hit with an outbreak of tornadoes here in Oklahoma last night. One of which hit about five miles away from us and luckily to the east of us....they usually travel in a west to east direction which put us in the all clear..... However not everyone was as lucky as we were and my prayers go out to you. The tornado actually traveled along the route that we take from our house to Brad's mom's house in Shawnee Oklahoma down highway 9. The areas in Norman that were hit were near HWY9 & Classen... I actually lived in apartments near there about 6yrs ago (I don't believe they were damaged other then down trees and such.) I had many friends without power for sometime but all got it back by the end of the night. 

The weird eerie thing about tornadoes...I think...is how the sun comes out so quickly after it has past or how you can be so close and experience near to nothing....we experienced high winds (which has been going on all month) and just a little bit of rain and a few rumbles of thunder....no hail or crazy flooding downpour.  Well here are some pictures I managed to steal from the interwebs including some of my very own facebook friends b/c I have yet to venture out of my house.

Hail that fell in Moore, OK

just North of us

I can't say for sure but these look like Hampton Woods 

Apartments which was next to my old complex.

thanks Jon for this pic & the next

thanks Jenny for this picture!!

I was hoping to find pictures of the Thunderbird Boat Marina b/c it was a mess!!! But no such luck! 

hmmm....

My friend Jessica stated that when 3 people reply to my facebook post regarding having a bad day at work by suggesting to bring me a diet coke....that I may have a problem....bahahahaha!!

Toodle-oo!

Lavender Vanilla Love

I'm not a big fan of lavender or vanilla when they are on their own but put them together and mmm...good!! I have used and suggest using the following products if you too also enjoy this scent as well.

Now I am a Yankee candle whore....but I LOVE this candle as much as any Yankee!!

This product is actually the item that prompted this blog. I usually get the Yankee plug.in thingy for the bedroom - but they don't have ALL the different scents in the plug.in as they do in the candles -- so I was grocery shopping and decided to pick this up for our bedroom and I love LOVE it!! You can turn the smell to high or low...we have it on low... and it is such a pleasant continuous smell for the bedroom!!!! I highly suggest it!! 

Toodle-oo!!

Bad start to the weekend....

One bonus to this new daytime schedule that I have rec'd is that every other  weekend I have 4 days off in a row!!! So for instance I work Wed - Sat ...off 2 days then work Tues - Fri....off 4 days then repeat....Have I confused you yet... anyways this is my first weekend to have the 4 days off in a row and it has started off pretty freakin crappy.!!!

Last night my friend Jessica and I had planned to go to a bar on campus to have a few beers and talk...her and I can talk about ANYTHING and everything and I am truly sad right now b/c she is having to move in 2 weeks to Indiana due to her hubby's job...so I'm trying to cram some extra Jess time in....Well I ended up having to end last night early b/c I had a massive migraine and thought I may die!! I was so freakin pissed at myself...not that I could help it but it was WAY noisy where we were and the drinks were not helping the situation and I just wanted my bed. So I mentioned her coming over tonight since Brad was working til 11. Well I woke up today my head was better but not perfect and I felt really woozy and weak...So after I ate I went back to bed and I still feel like crap!!! Not only did I have my Jess plans but I had fun errand plans today to that I did not get to accomplish...I was looking forward to taking my car to get washed...shopping for a new little rug for in front of my kitchen sink...running to target....you know fun stuffs....now I'm laying on the couch feeling like crap!! ugh!! So bummed out...even when I try that whole positive thinking its not getting me anywhere... Thank goodness Jess is able to meet me on Monday for sushi happy.hour!!

Well I think I'm going to hop in a hot shower and see if that helps...wish me luck!

Brad's 30th Birthday

My Bradley turned 30 on April 24th...we however celebrated on the 23rd!! His mom planned a little family get together at Pole Position.... No its not a strip club -hehe- Its a raceway - like really really fast go carts!! It was so much fun!! I couldn't believe how fast you went -- and you had to wear some serious head gear that made you super sweaty... Well me being the space cadet that I am forgot to charge up the battery for the camera...so I only have a few pics of family and cake I took with my iphone...so they aren't the best - sorry.

Brad & His Dad

His Mom, Him & Sister 

the cake

We also got the picture that his sister Rebecca made for us for Christmas of our 3 little fur-kids!!! I just love it oh.so.much!!! Very Creative!!!

Toodle-oo!

Dislike!!

So as you may know from a past post my work schedule has changed from 4p-1a to 9-5. Most people would love this...I however am not a fan!! I have completed my 3rd day and so far I am miserable!! I hate HATE waking up in the morning...my body won't let me fall asleep until around midnight...I am not happy getting ready in the morning...then I feel like I am just stumbling around in a daze for most of the day and then its time to come home.

And I'm Cranky!!

I dislike change of any sort and not only have my hours completely flip flopped but I am sitting at a different desk w/ different people with different ways of doing things.... I don't know where anything is or where the phone numbers are listed and such...I don't even know how to get in touch w/ doctors the right way...on my other shift you would just call then answering service or page whichever doctors are on call for that group...now I'm working standard business hours and you contact the actual doctor they are requesting....so frustrating!! Not to mention all the mangers are there all day long....ugh!! I also dislike the fact that I come home from work and have to do stuff....I really enjoyed being able to get up whenever I wanted... run around... clean up the house do a load of laundry or two and then go to work...come home watch what I wanted/recorded relax and go to bed...........blah now its nothing like that at all... I don't know when I'm going to get to watch all my DVR shows...I really am wanting to watch last nights Private Practice but Brad is in there watching whatever...ugh!!!    

Signed,

A Frustrated & Cranky

TIMmmm.BER!

So we had to say good.bye to some more trees last weekend. As some of you know we were hit hard about 3 winters ago with an insane ice storm. After that storm we removed 3 trees from the front yard and one from the side of the house along w/ one from the back yard. Well we again had an ugly snow storm this year and we had to remove more trees from the front and one more is going to have to go but the electric company will have to remove it since the branches pretty much rest on a wire.Here are pictures in order from the first very bad ice storm to this year and then to last weekend with them removing the last of the crooked pine tress.
