Randomness Tuesday!

Me and My Sweetie

Good evening!

To say I am having a GREAT day is an understatement! There is not really one thing I can put my finger on that has made it a great day, but really a bunch of little things that have just really made me a happy girl!!

I had a good day at work today, pretty typical, but I am really feeling like I am holding my own on my team – FINALLY! I did get all beautified up to go to the office today, including putting on a dress and lashes, which always makes me feel more confident. I am not sure why I don’t take time to do that every morning!! Usually my morning consists of taking a shower, throwing on one of 5 basic outfits I wear almost every day (out of a whole PLETHORA OF CHOICES!!), and then off to work with a clean face and mostly wet hair!

My girlfriend Dawn has really inspired me to be brave and try new things with my look, like I said a couple of nights ago, but last evening she was saying that she has spent a ton of time watching tutorials online on how to do different makeup and hair techniques, so as soon as I got home I decided to see what I can find. MAN, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! There is so much hints, tips, and advice out there! That was really fun! I am not sure what I am going to try yet tomorrow, but I know that I will at least try SOMETHING new, and I am sure that will be exciting!!

Another thing that is REALLY contributing to my level of happiness today is that my house is clean!

LIKE REALLY-HONEST-TO-GOODNESS-EVERYTHING-IS-IN-ITS-PLACE-CLEAN!!
WHOO! HOO!!! 😉

I told Dawn that it was her fault, that if she wouldn’t have come over last night, it would never have gotten that way! I really need to invite my friends over MORE OFTEN!!! What an AMAZING feeling!!

My Sweet and Beautiful Faye!

My sweetie is also in a good mood. He is working again, and he is just soooooo much happier, which in turn, makes me soooooo much happier!! I just LOVE seeing him having a good time, feeling like he is helping his customers!!! Tonight, on his way home from work, he even brought home a yummy, but healthy Subway dinner with a light Jamba Juice for desert! WHAT A GOOD MAN I HAVE!!! Thank you, Love!!! 😉

Me!

My official plan this evening is that I am going to watch Pride and Prejudice. Jason and I went with Dawn and Errin earlier this week to go see the new Three Muskateers movie, and I feel in love with Matthew Macfayden again!! SO DREAMY!!! 😉 I must have a thing for men who are rough and tough, but really a romantic at heart – oh, and the British accent doesn’t hurt either!! 😉 So I am going to get my fill of him in this movie this evening!! LOL! 😉

I did warn you that this was a random kind of posting, and sure enough it was!!! Until tomorrow…

Have a FABULOUS evening! ;-)

NOTE: See you at Chunky Dunkers tomorrow evening! I will have posted by 7-ish!!! (Pacific time!!!) GO CHUNKY DUNKERS!!! 😉

A Thursday of Randomness!

Good evening!

I am so tired! It has been a long day! Well, where do I start?

I got up this morning, late, because I had stayed up too long last night, trying to cram a little more time with my sister! Shocking, right?? Anyway, I finally got myself out to work this morning and even managed to surprise myself by getting there on time. WHOO! HOO!!

I had a pretty darn good day at work today! I just love working with my girlfriend, Chris. She always has a way of explaining things to me that makes either understand them, or makes me feel better! It is important to work with friends!! 😉

When I got home this afternoon, it was to a too quiet empty house. Jennifer and Austin went home today, after stopping by my work place so we could all have lunch together, which is part of why I was having such a good day at work! Ok, so maybe a BIG part of it! 😉 But is was very quiet when I got home this afternoon, and my sweetie came home and made a fabulous – and healthy dinner this evening for us! That was so fabulous!!! I got to cuddle with him on the couch a bit this evening, before he headed out to his truck to do some final errands of the evening! 😉

I am excited that tomorrow is Friday! I can’t wait!! Our house is clean, and after some organizing in the dining room tomorrow night, I will be able to claim that my house is spotless, well, at least for 10 minutes!! 😉 But, when the house is clean, I have a MUCH EASIER time of relaxing, and I know that makes both Jason and I happy!! 😉

Oh, I wanted to tell you that I signed up for a 5 week, 2xs a week Zumba class down at my place of work! It only cost me $25, because I am an employee – I can not wait to start!! I know that Zumba is supposed to be really tough, but I am falling in love with dancing – the ultimate un-exercise feeling exercise for me!! 😉 Plus I start my intermediate belly dancing class next week. I am scared and nervous at the same time, but I know I will have a blast!!

Anyway, I am going to close up shop here, and get my booty into bed for the night!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉

Happy Tuesday!

Good evening!

I am at home, by myself for the second night in a row, and it looks like it will be that way all week! My sweetie is helping our sis, Nette, build on an addition on to their house. They are hoping to have it done by the end of the week. I am not sure if it will be, but they are making some serious headway. My niece, Megan, keeps saying, “we are all squished – I can’t wait to get a living room.” I understand completely, my living room is probably my FAVORITE room in the house. It is where most of my fiction books are stored!! 😉

Anyway, work was pretty good today, we are doing a lot of interviewing for a few positions open in my group, so that can be a little draining. I find that it is difficult to find someone for our type of positions, since we are so specialized, and the job description really sounds scary – even to us who are actually doing the job!  I am hoping we have found a good candidate today, and that everything works out. They will need a lot of training, but then again, ANYONE we hire would!! I DID!!!

Anyway, that is enough about that!! As for my house on a diet? So far, so good!! When I got home today, I realized I was able to make quite a big dent in the cleaning yesterday, and tonight I am happy to say that the house is pretty clean!!! Jason even helped me change the bedding last night, which was WONDERFUL!! I just love slipping in between freshly cleaned, crisp, cool sheets!!! AAAAAAH!! That is the LIFE!! 😉

Tonight I am going to write a letter to our sponsor child in Mozambique! I had set out a goal for myself to write her at least one letter every month, and I HONESTLY forgot all about sending her one in February!! SAD, I KNOW!!! But I am determined to have a letter sent out tomorrow!! I will have to find something from the goody basket that I can slip into her package. We are able to mail small things that she might enjoy, like stickers, and what not, so I try to keep a basket full of all kinds of goodies that are ready to be sent at a moments’ notice!! I am sure whatever I choose she will love it!!! 😉

I have started a cross-stitch project last evening! I am wanting to have a homemade Christmas this year. I am not sure how that will go over with everyone, but I want to see if I can get more creative in my gift giving. I can’t really tell you too much about it because I know that the future recipient of this gift reads my blog, and I want it to be a surprise!!

But, talking about crafting, I am really wanting to learn how to quilt! I would LOVE to have a homemade quilt for our bed, and maybe even make future quilts for others! Wouldn’t that be lovely??? I think there is something very special and intriguing about sleeping underneath a handmade quilt. Especially if it was made by someone who knows and loves you! I am not sure there is anything more precious than that! I will have to do some research!

In the meantime, I am going to be looking up some how-to’s on how to press flowers. I would like to go on a nature walk this week and press a bunch of beautiful flowers, and leaves that I might find! I think that framed, they would make such a fun and personal way to remember  special location, like Silver Creek Falls, or the Oregon coast!! The only problem I will end up having is trying to find wall space to display those treasures! Oh well, I am sure I can find someone’s walls to use for hanging them on!!

I apologize if my post seems to be rambling on a little bit tonight! It is kind of the state of my mind at the moment, I am tired and revved at the same time! I didn’t sleep well last night, but it feels much too early to go to bed yet. Well, if that is the biggest problem I am facing right now, then life is pretty sweet isn’t it???

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

Note to Chunky Dunkers: Don’t forget that tomorrow night is the Chunky Dunker’s Club. I can’t wait to hear how everyone is doing!! I am going to see if I can find a yummy recipe to share! Please feel free to do the same!!! See you tomorrow night!!! GO CHUNKY DUNKERS!! 😉
