Finally!

I finished my socks!!!





I've been working on these since May 16. I figure 3 1/2 monthes isn't too long to wait for a pair of socks is it?

Have a nice day!

The new semester started Monday

It's great. We got a whole new crop of hot young work-study guys this semester. All is well in Amandaland.

Isn't it a beautiful day

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, my nemesis, who I've been trying to get to quit or be fired, is getting the ax!!! I am so excited. Seriously, I'm doing the happy dance inside. I'm just glad I'm not the one doing it, because I wouldn't be able to do it without giggling.

I hope everyone else's day turns out to be as wonderful as mine.



Ed: I originally posted this last Wednesday, but had to take it down until after the business actually went down because of confidentiality and such.

Seriously

Whoever thought the world getting up and being at work at 8 am was a good idea was an idiot. I hate having to come to work this early in the morning. It sucks.

I have some exciting news to tell y'all, I posted about it briefly on Wednesday, but decided it would be in my best interest to take it down. If you saw that, you know what I'm talking about. I was hoping I'd be able to repost it yesterday, but there was a kink in the plan, so hopefully I'll be able to tell you all about it on Monday.

Look what I can do

I convinced my sister to let me give Mason, 3 almost 4, a mohawk!









It turned out awesome, didn't it?

This is my very first ever Amanda grown tomato.


This is the tomato plant it came from. It's got another tomato on it already.


I got a new purse today. It's huge, I love it.

I have a problem

A lady that I work with, who has more formal education than I do, left her grocery list in a common area today. I'm having a really hard time not correcting the misspelled words, of which there are many.

Tomorrow starts 3 weeks of 8-5 days. I'm so dreading it. Since I got back from vacation, I've been working on a newsletter. It's driving me nuts. Publisher is such a pain in the ass!

Have a nice day.

My Vacation

Yeah, so I said I'd have vacation pictures up yesterday, sue me. I've been busy catching up on all the internet game playing work I missed while I was gone. I made a slide show instead of uploading all those pictures here. If you want to see, go here. I captioned most of the pictures with who's in them.

I had a really good time. My dad flew into Oklahoma City on Saturday night, and we immediately drove to Tulsa and went to the bar, then to Monica's to celebrate Sean's birthday. His birthday was on Sunday, and they had a big bbq with tons of people at their house. On Monday, we went to Incredible Pizza. If you don't know what that is, it's like Chuck E Cheese with better games and a big buffet. Tuesday Sean & Karissa both had to work, so Dad & I took Sydney to Braums and to the Bass Pro Shop. That was quite an adventure, but less adventurous than the last time I took her. On Wednesday Dad & I went to Bartlesville, had lunch at Taco Bueno with all the grand kids--talk about fun--went to see baby Madisyn, & spent the night at my grandma's house. On Thursday grandma & I went to get our hair cut, mine is fabulous, if I do say so myself. I'll have to fix it & post a picture later. After that, we went to lunch with grandma, then back to Tulsa. Friday we went to the Oklahoma Aquarium. It was super cool. Saturday I had cramps, so I didn't do anything, but in the evening they took the kids bowling. We went back to Bartlesville & had dinner with my sister Sunday evening, then back to Oklahoma City to spend the night at my aunt & uncle's. On Monday, we got up had lunch at Steak 'n' Shake, visited my dad's father's grave, flitted around, then went to the airport. I had a really hard time letting my dad go. I don't get to see him very often, and I miss him so much when he's not here or I'm not out there.

So, overall, it was a pretty good vacation. Now I have to get to work on actual work. I have to have a newsletter ready for print on Tuesday, and I haven't started it yet. Eeek!

Have a nice day!

Back from vacation, have tons of pictures, will post them tomorrow, have a nice day!

I still suck

It's been almost 2 weeks since the last time I blogged, and that one doesn't really count. I've just been really busy. I had a great 4th of July. Went to Sean & Karissa's and shot off fireworks. I have a 4th of July injury. I burnt my thumb lighting a sparkler. Those things are dangerous. On the 5th, my cousin was induced, and after many many hours of waiting around, we finally got a baby in the early morning hours of the 6th. She's so pretty. Here's a picture:


My dad is going to be here in 3 days! He'll be here the 16-24, so I wouldn't expect any new blogs during that time either. Hopefully after his visit things will slow down and I'll get back to normal postings.

Have a nice day!
