Wednesday?

It just can't be Wednesday already. Where did Monday and Tuesday go? Now normally, I would be thrilled at the thought of having it already be Wednesday but with everything that's going on and everything that needs to be done, I can't believe I only have two days left! Yikes!

How is your week going?

Memorial Weekend

Well, this weekend is going to be a hectic one! I am going to a bridal shower today for a wedding I am the maid of honor. Then I am heading back to my home town to spend some time with my parents. I will be doing a lot of traveling, but at least it's not work, right?

I hope you all have a great weekend and take some time to remember what Memorial Day is really all about and not just another day off!!!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Special thanks to goofy girl for the banner!

With the help of fiance, I am doing my 13 favorite movie quotes!

(Can you get all the movies right?)

***I'll post the answers tomorrow!!!!***

1. "Jack Sparrow: No. Not good. Stop. Not good. What are you doing? You've burned all the food, the shade, the RUM. Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone. Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?"
2. "I wipe my own ass! I wipe my own ass!!"
3. "Life should be a little nuts. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of... Thursdays, strung together."
4. "President Andrew Shepherd: This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your 15 minutes are up. My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I AM the President. "
5. Max: "My teacher tells me that beauty is on the inside." Dad: "That's just something ugly people say."
6. Rick: I wanna see your a$$ in the air. Kate: Well until Hercules here learns how to lock his grip, this will have to do... (hint: Toe Pick!!)
7. "Back to school....back to school...show my dad...I'm not a fool"
8. "I just don't think that Brooke could've done this. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't kill their husbands, they just don't."
9. "Mr. Madison, what you have just said, is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. "
10. "Tess: You're a thief and a liar. Danny: I only lied about being a thief."
11. "The way I see it, you got two choices. You either gotta get busy livin'... or get busy dyin' "
12. "I have what doctors like to call a little bit of a weight problem. "
13. "ROBBIE:Hey,I don't know your last name. GLENN:It's Gulia. ROBBIE:Gulia!Julia's last name's gonna be Gulia!Julia Gulia!That's funny! GLENN:Why is that funny? ROBBIE:I-I don't know. "

Okay, you know the rules. Just like always, leave a comment so I can put your link up (and you have to say something more than "mine's up") This week, however, try to guess the movies. The person with the most correct will win....well, you'll just feel special! :-) Isn't that enough? Good luck!

***To see who has already left comments, you have to go down to the next post, because blogger is being stupid and not letting me put the links in here!***

Letter Tag

This how it works: Janet gave me the letter "J"; I'll write ten words beginning with "J" (what fun!). When you leave a comment on this entry, I'll give YOU a letter (if you want to play) and then you post this in your blog...and so on and so on :-)

1. Job--I am very thankful to have a job and especially thankful that I actually enjoy my job!
2. Jelly--What would the world be without jelly to go with peanut butter? My childhood would not have been the same!
3. Jury--I have always wanted to serve on a jury-don't ask why, because I don't know!
4. Johnny Depp--he is the reason I got the letter J. Do I really need to explain this one?
5. Janet--she is one of the 1st blogs I started reading and read her every day!
6. Jolly--I love Christmas time "Tis the season to be jolly!" :-)
7. Jungle--The Jungle Book was one of my favorite stories when I was little...I would love to visit a jungle!
8. Jewelry--I know everyone says "What woman doesn't like jewelry?" Well this one does!
9. Jerk--I have met more than 1 in my life time and I'm sure it won't be the end of them!
10. Josh Groban--Don't ask why, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE his voice!

Okay, I'm looking for people to play! I'm full of letters!

What a week!

Well, this week has had its ups and downs. Tuesday I went to a Brewer game with fiance and his friend. Then Thursday we went to the Tim McGraw/Faith Hill Soul 2 Soul II tour. Now some people like country and some don't, but I will post a picture of the concert. If you don't like country, that's fine, just don't leave nasty messages.



Then yesterday, my puppy was put to sleep. My parents said it did not take her long to go which is good. She really was the best puppy anyone could ask for. She is now in doggy heaven bragging about how cool her owners were :-) That's what's keeping me smiling! I know she was one of the most spoiled dogs ever!

Other than that, it's cleaning this weekend and maybe having some friends over for dinner. Since I do okay with making lasagna, that's what I'll make. How was your week?

I'm thinking about starting a "Would you rather" Monday or something. We'll see how that goes. And on a happy front, goofy girl has started my new blog design and it's coming along great! Hopefully it'll be up and running this summer so we can do a big debut! :-)

Happy Saturday!

A Thursday without a 13? What?

Sorry everyone, but I'm taking today off. Fiance and I took the day off together so we're going away for the day. I know you all will miss me terribly, but try to get over it :-)

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Instead of having 13, read the two posts below. Thanks!

Everyone....meet Cashew!

This is my puppy, Cashew. She is 13 1/2 years old. Unfortunately, she has become pretty old, pretty fast and is being put down on Friday. I was very upset about this at first, but I visited her last weekend and realized that she's not enjoying her doggy life anymore. She is soooo cute! She is 12 pounds and has been the light of my mom's life. She has doggy alzeihmer's (sp?) too because she doesn't seem to remember where she is! She is still a good eater and loves popcorn, peanut butter and other things. She had some lasagna this past Christmas too :-)

I just thought I would introduce her to everyone so that you can all see why she is so special to me! Oh and the only trick I taught her (my mom was in charge of tricks) was pointing to my face and saying "kissy" and oh boy were you attached with kisses!!!! What a loving and wonderful dog. She will truly be missed!!!! So say hello to Cashew!!!

No words attached!

I'm in!

I found this at Janet's and it's originally from Unconscious mutterings

Weekend wrap-up

Well, it was quite the weekend. I went up to see my mom on Saturday morning and stayed until this morning. It was great to see her. I found out on Friday that my parents made an appointment to put my puppy to sleep this Friday. I'm not doing too well with this. So on top of giving mom presents and going out to eat, I had to say goodbye to my puppy. This pretty much broke my heart. She's 13 1/2 and THE BEST PUPPY EVER!!!!
I was trying to upload a picture, but it won't let me. I'll post it tomorrow.

Anyway, on to some happy news...I asked my "sister" (yes, I'm an only child, but she's the closest I have to a sister) to be my maid of honor this weekend and she said YES! So that was super exciting. I can't wait to have a helper :-)

Well, that's it for me. I'll post that picture soon :-)

Friday

I don't have much to say today (imagine that!) I am glad it's Friday. I've had an annoying stomach ache for three days now.

However, I am excited that Goofy Girl has said she would help me makeover my blog when summer vacation starts!!!! I am so excited. Check her out...she has other designs available too. There is a link to her designs from her webpage.

Also, if you haven't checked Janet out, you should! She has entertaining and fun posts! She does a "What Is It" on Wednesday and does the TT on Thursdays! Enjoy those two.

Happy Friday everyone!

It's that time again....

Thirteen Things That Stress This Blogger Out!

1. Thinking about going back to school full-time and working full-time

2. Having a lot of things due at work at the same time!

3. Having four weddings this summer, two of which I'm in

4. The cost of those two weddings I'm in

5. Thinking about all the planning for my wedding (and attempting some of it!)

6. Trying to keep this apartment clean with all the other things

7. Paying all the bills (and on time even!)

8. Keeping up with all my emails (you'd be surprised that this honestly is a struggle some days!)

9. Trying to catch up on scrapbooking instead of stuff being all over the apartment

10. Finishing up a blanket for my parents that I thought I would have given them last year for Christmas (oops)

11. Wasting too much time and then realizing that I can't get things done that I need to.

12. Not getting enough sleep because then the next day is oh so not fun!

13. Does anyone want to be in an online book club? (Just checking to see if you read to the bottom!)

Just like every other week, leave me a message and I'll put you up. Don't just leave "nice list, mine's up" or I won't list you. Sorry, that's the way it is.

one more thing today...

I wasn't going to write anything today, but does anyone have a random blog design laying around or wants to share with me? I am so sick of the stupid ones that blogger gives you choices of and I don't know how to design my own. OH well, just a thought.

Just a simple picture....

Our hiking trip!

Read below to find where these came from!

• My experiment with black and white. This is a shelter for backpackers who want to camp out. We are looking out at a really cool outlook!

This trout was in a really clear spring where you can ONLY catch and release! A grave stone at a super old cemetary. This was from 1800.
This old cabin was also from the 1800's. It's boarded up though. Still awesome!
