Life & Adventures In It....

Busy.... 


This is the word that we often think of when talking to other people, or when we have things to do, or even the excuse that people make to get out of doing projects, events, or just things in general. 

I have always been one to keep myself occupied. Most of the time I have had at least two jobs going at once. So yes, I rarely have time for myself... but I have also never really known different. 

So I guess this really shouldn't come as a shocker, however I am doing my normal 50-60 hours at my corporate job, plus I have been working shifts at one of the hotels to pick up hours. Normally this would not be an issue. However, I have decided to make myself smart, and I am trying to go back to school on top of all of this. This past week I worked normal, plus 5 shifts at the hotel, on top of a minimum of 5 hours spent dedicated to online classes! YIKES! 

I am also trying to maintain the appearance of my so called humble home, and of course, give my undivided attention and love to this child of mine...

I sit Handsome... now give me cookies! 

Plus trying to keep up on my relationship with my boyfriend, and have a social life somewhere in between. So you may be asking what is the point and where is she getting at with the rambling? 

My point is, no matter how busy life gets, make time to stop and smell the roses, take time see friends and family, make time to do things for you! 

I have had to learn, If you don't say no, then everyone will just abuse and use you to do their work for them. I need sleep, and I need R&R time as much as everyone else. 

So I hope that you can step away from social media, TV, blogs, books and life and enjoy the good things in life! I promise you that it will be worth every penny!

I would have shouted the statement above if possible. Man oh Man. It was a week. 

Things have been really busy with me. I have two posts in the works to explain more about it... and I am excited. I feel that 2014 will be a good year for me. 2013 was nothing but poopies! :)

Weekend Review, and Menu

Displaying photo.jpg
Saturday... 

Why hello there... is it just me or did the weekend seem to FLY by?  Sorry I am a little behind I know its Tuesday. 

Friday was busy not only was work busy but apparently my car has horrible luck. I was no where near my car and it hit another parked car... There was so much ice on the parking lot from the snow and horrible weather we had last week that my car didn't have traction... and well my huge SUV kissed a small little car. Thank goodness that the only thing that happened is my bumper clip broke, and they have a scuff mark that rubbed out. :) Karma loved me!

Happy New Year, Happy Friday, Happy Life...

Displaying photo.jpg

Okay if this isn't the cutest face ever to say Happy New Year to, then I don't know what is... 

Sorry I was gone for a while. I had some time to my family for a while, and have been swamped at work. Not to mention trying to nurse my body back to health! It's working to the point I don't feel like I got ran over by a train anymore... so its a plus. I am feeling a little better, and started new medications... so double plus! 

My Christmas was wonderful. Ham and I got spoiled... and well the FurChild got spoiled even more. Red dog has a HUGE bag of new toys including monkey and goose pictured above! Yay!

This is what spoiled looks like.... 

My couch after two Christmas's was completely cover and so was the counter behind it. I still have stuff to put away. It was nice to be spoiled... but seriously... everyone went over board. I got a Kindle Fire, kitchen gadgets , Cast Iron Skillet, new bedding and so much more...

My new Bedding! 

This was probably my favorite. I got new sheets, new heated blanket, new heat pad, new comforter, and new throw for my bed. If ya all know me... Ya know I am always cold and love to snuggle. So I am very excited. It is so soft and so warm! 

Now while I was gone I was admiring the gorgeous views and things in my area, such as...

I can't say enough about North Idaho and the amazing sunsets we have. It doesn't hurt the fact that I am lucky to live on one of the many great lakes in the area! 

This weekend I am getting to spend more time with family and friends... Pictures and ideas to come! 

Hope you all had a great holiday season and are off to a great new year!
