I am so weird.

I know this. I'm okay with this.

Tonite I'm on the treadmill. Just a steady running, pouring sweat like a man, and probably grunting like a gorilla. The gym is practically empty. It's Friday nite people!! Everyone is out!

Tell me why Gym Rat Guy has to get on the treadmill next to me.

Boo.

There are 15!!

That's okay though. I bet he didn't realize we were racing. But we were. And I spanked him. Yep, in my head it was on. I was not stopping til he did. And he did. Go me.

Then on the way home (I live 15 minutes from the gym), I decide I simply HAVE to see Mr. Perfect. He works late on Friday nite's so I call him and ask him to buy me a drink and bring it outside. Of course they don't have what I want but I stopped anyway. I get him to buy me a water just so I can talk to him for 5 minutes. I also plan on being in bed by the time he gets off so I didn't want him to miss out on his daily dose of me! (He was still in bed when I went to work this am).

Did I drink said bottle of water?

Nope.

Did I use said bottle of water as a microphone to belt out Sugarland's "Stay" into?

.::hehe::.

What a great song.. I still haven't drank the water.

I wonder if Gym Rat Guy will be there on a Saturday nite so we can race again? I'll totally make him look like a little girl again.

I wonder if the kid at the stop light liked my singing since the sunroof was open and all?

Recap. Duh.

The hubs and I had our first American Idol induced "tiff" last nite.

I told you it was bad.

I am truly happy with the 3 from this group. I swore to Mr. Perfect that I would boycott if Megan made it through. I was convinced that since the previous week had 2 boys and a girl, that producers would make it 2 girls and a boy this week. And that simply would not have been right!!

I loved this guy.


I will admit. I tend to be a music snob. There are just some groups and some singers that you DO NOT TOUCH. You just can't. It's wrong. And I usually put Michael Jackson in that group. However, I liked that Kris picked something that needed him to be confident to perform and I thought he rocked it.

Mr. Perfect did not agree.

He thought Megan should go on.



I'm sorry Mr. Perfect, but did you watch the show?! I thought the beginning of her performance was ok, the end was pitchy, and she looked mildly like a robot standing on stage. I happen to really like Corrine Bailey Rae and I just don't think the girl did her justice.

He just thinks she's cute.

Also so disappointed in Matt.

His impression of Justin Timberlake impersonating Chris Martin about killed me. It was painful.

I do have high hopes that he will come back as a wild card. That would be okay with me.

And Simon almost sent me into a coma this week. Too much laughter ends up with a shortage of oxygen to the brain. Thankfully I recovered and will be around to see Simon another week!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

So today is my mom's birthday!!!

Yay!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

I'd tell you how old she is, but I have a working brain. And it says I'm too sore to run from her if she tries to kill me. =)

If you know me at all you know I have a very unique relationship with all of my family. But I have such a supportive Mom!!




I'm thankful for the childhood I had. I was given every opportunity in the world to figure out who I am and what I was interested in. My parents allowed us kids to do everything at least once. With one stipulation; even if we didn't like it, we had to finish the current season, or class, or what not. I got to try so much with parents behind me in every way!


My mom is amazing! Any time I need her she will be there. Literally. She used to live 20 hours away from us and in 2005, after our 2nd miscarriage, she got my Dad and packed up the car and drove 20 some hours just so we wouldn't be by ourselves, in Missouri on Christmas, one day after losing our baby. There is no one I want more when I'm sick or down than my Mom.


And I love how she gets my pups Christmas presents. I mean duh. I get that she wants grandkids, but she realizes she does have 3 that will take all the loving she wants to give til the people ones get here!!

So Happy Birthday Mom! Thank you for all that you do. For the calls, the support, the cards just to say you love me or just Hi. The questions (they kept me out of more trouble than you realize!). The honesty. Thanks for being the type of Mom that I could talk to about my first kiss or first boyfriend. Thanks for listening. Thanks for the advice. Thanks for teaching me that I'm really good at rolling my eyes! (Kidding.. but I am good at it!) Thanks for everything. Thanks for helping me realize that I will be able to be a Mom someday. Hope you had a great 53rd birthday!!

I love you!

I can't even blog.

I can't blog.

Because I just split my gut laughing.

Did I mention that I LOVE Simon Cowell?!?

How could anyone blog when he's on tv?

And are you guys watching AI right now because it's freakin' hilarious.

I'll blog later when I put my gut back together.

The Cat's Out of the Bag..

I totally told my Mom about the Marine's little girlfriend tonite. Of course that went over well. Not. I have the weirdest relationship with my family ever.

I despise telephone customer service agents. Despise. Does anyone ever actually get anywhere with these guys?!?

Remember this lady?! Well she's back..... (say that all scary movie-ish. This situation deserves it!!) I'll have to tell you about that later. I just slammed my hand into the wall. (see note about customer service agents. Also see previously unmentioned note about Megs' horrible temper!)

In good news....

I love all these blogs tons and tons and highly recommend them. Although most of you are already reading them as these ladies are all uber-popular!!

Yay! I love awards. It's like the Oscar's all over again.

Well.... no Hugh Jackman.

Then what's the use of it being the Oscar's again?!?

I must be out. My hand is throbbing!!

I am such a child.

So doing this temperature charting thing is killing me is kind of annoying.

It could be I'm lazy and forgetful. How could a 26 year old not remember such a little thing.

Check temp in am.

Not hard.

Then there's when you start your *ahem monthly cycle and you have to check in with the doc to let him know.

Tell me why I lowered my voice to a whisper and blushed when I said "period".

I am such a child.

Wow.

I am so tired. Clearly I am no longer in college as I spent all day today laying around doing absolutely nothing trying to recover from my late Saturday nite! How on Earth did I ever party all nite just to get up the next morning and work a ten hour shift?! Oh the joys of the early twenties body...

This weekend we held a little annual get together for one of my very best friends birthday. Back when I first went off to college, I was the very preppy, very sheltered, somewhat... dare I say snobby, girl. So imagine my apprehension when I saw my new suitemate walking around with her Converse sneakers, jean capris, some scary band tank top, and pink hair. I clearly remember asking my Dad to take me back home because I just knew her and I wouldn't get along!!


Well it took no time at all for me to decide this girl was a-ok in my book. And I've never looked back! I've never in my life laughed as hard as I do with Ash. She might possibly be the funnest, loudest, craziest person I've ever met!! There literally is not a moment I'm with her that I'm not laughing! Her and I became super close living together that one year at our tiny little college. She moved to a different dorm our second year and then we both transferred our junior years to different schools, but we've never lost touch. We can go forever without seeing each other and then when we're together, we pick right back up. We don't miss a beat.

My girls and I on my wedding day. Ash is in the pink (duh!)


So once a year for her birthday, Ash and our other good friend, C, come down for Ash's birthday. Better known as: Ash-a-pa-looza!! It's a time that is sure to never disappoint and this year was no different!!

Friday nite Ash, C, and Ash's current roommate, L, got to our humble abode to begin the festivities. We stayed in and Mr. Perfect cooked us steak and potatoes (seriously, I cannot stress how great he is!). It was a pretty quiet nite (for us anyway!). I had to work the next morning so we called it quits on the board games around midnite.

Mr. Perfect and Ash playing pattycake. This board game is ridiculous!!

Saturday we went downtown for a while and walked along the river. It was pretty chilly so we didn't last long. It was gorgeous out though... I do love my town!!

Us girls in City Market.


Our mad cake decorating skills!! No plain Jane Happy Birthday here!!


Saturday we got all gussied up and headed out. Where else would we start but our favorite little Mexican place?! Of course Ash got her birthday shot of tequila (I think I just threw up a little) which quickly got this party started!

Mr. Perfect drove us downtown where we headed to a little bar in City Market. It was packed! Of course Ash and I hit the dance floor for a little salsa dancing. Ok. She danced. I stood on the dance floor and wished to be anywhere else. I'm good at a lot of things but dancing, not so much!

After we headed out of City Market we headed to my favorite little bar in town. Seriously if you ever are in town I highly recommend this place for a nite of entertainment. It. Is. SO. Much. Fun. And I'm not biased just because a bunch of good friends work there. It really is so awesome! Imagine my surprise when I stumble upon the little brother at the bar!! Yea, the Marine, who should be up in North Carolina. Apparently he's been getting pretty serious about this girl he's been dating so he came down to see her. He knew I was coming out that nite so he had every intention of surprising me. It worked!

We had such a good time. We danced, we laughed, we made Ash get up on stage and get sung to!! It was great. I love my girls!! I feel so blessed that I've made such awesome friends during all the different aspects of my life. I was always told college was where you made most of your lifelong friends and I agree. 100%. Such a great weekend!

Ash at dinner.


Mr. Perfect driving us girls Downtown.


The Marine and his new girl. Hmm.. looks like she might be sticking around which means I need a name for her..


Ash getting sang to up on stage. Absolutely awesome!! I don't care that she threatened mine and L's life if we called her out and got her up there! She did it to me!!


L, Ash, & I taking a breather from being the dancing machines we are. Oh, I can dance at this bar!!


The Marine's Girl, one of my great guy friends, and I clearly suffering from global warming!


The Marine and I.


Me, L, Ash, & C.



I have AMAZING friends!!


C, Ash, & I at the end of the nite. Clearly a successful birthday!!


I had so much fun. Too bad birthday's only come once a year!! In case you were wondering, Mr. Perfect didn't stick around as it's not really his thing at all, but my dear, sweet, #1 husband in the world did drag himself back out of bed at 2 am to come pick us up.. I got so lucky!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

ASH-A-PA-LOOZA!!

Not a lot of blogging tonite because...

it's ASH-A-PA-LOOZA!!

Basically..it's my old college roomie's birthday and every year her and our other college friend, C, come down for the weekend. This year Shash's (my old roomie) current roomie came to.

So.. we're headed out for a night of pure debauchery good girl time!! Pictures to follow, you know, when I can see straight again.

Don't Judge Me...

It's that time again. It's a time that Mr. Perfect and I enjoy together time curled up on the couch. A time that I make it home from the gym before 7 at nite. That's right....
It's American Idol time!!!

Don't judge me. But I have a ridiculous tiny crush on this guy.


Seriously. I love him. He kills me. Mr. Perfect and I probably watch the show more for this guy than the singing. It is a singing competition right?!? We're always looking for him in the background. He cracks me up! Insight into my personality here.. I almost always agree with Simon. And I love what he says to people! I'm not mean though.. Promise!!

So my recap. So happy Danny and Alexis made it. When Danny Gokey auditioned, Mr. Perfect looked at me and said "He's going to win". I literally cried on Tuesday when he sang. Which I thought might have been induced by the wine I was also partaking in, but.. it happened again on Wednesday!! Love him!!

I didn't think Anne Marie was as bad as they thought though. Yea, she sounded a bit karaokeish, but doesn't everyone love karaoke?!? Or a good cruise line performer?!?

So glad Tatianna is gone. Sad about Anoop. Maybe he'll get a wild card. That would be good.

And seriously?!? What on earth did they do to my boy Jason Mraz's song last nite?!? I hated it!! Nobody can do Jason Mraz but Jason Mraz. It's okay AI producers. You can make it up to me with a stellar group performance later in the season.

I'm afraid my blog on Thursday will be too much of AI (that also stands for something else in the medical world that just made me blush!). I can't help it.

It's also my lovely mother-in-law's birthday today. Happy Birthday Mrs. M!!!

Mr. Perfect and his mom with some more of his family...



Is it sad that I'm watching my DVR'd Danny Gokey performance again?!

I need a life.

Could They BE Any Cuter?

So since Mr. Perfect and I did Valentine's Day early this year, we had a pretty low key Saturday nite. We invited my friend Nebraska and her kids over (her husband had to work) and my friend Donner came as well. Nebraska's only been down here in the South for a while and hasn't always loved it (is that possible?!), but slowly I'm dragging her out of her shell!! Nebraska, Donner, and I all cut up all day work together and they are a freaking riot! Nebraska has two little kids that are absolutely adorable. Even though I did have to do some major kid proofing to our humble abode, and her daughter almost killed my cat. Oh well.

Mr. Perfect and little C


Oh! Be still my heart!!

Me and little C





So funny. R climbed in the dog kennel and Lacy just wasn't to sure about that! So she went in after her. Lacy never goes in there. I think she just wanted to make sure R knew that it was hers.



R spent most of the nite carrying Ace around by his head. He's long enough that he could still have his hind feet on the ground so at least he could walk along with her. Poor cat. He did way better than I thought he would though. No blood was shed. He's growing up so fast!

A Terribly, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!!

Yea. So I'm taking it back to my childhood with that title!! And today that's where I wish I was. Childhood.

My day started off good. I woke up super early so I laid in bed with the pups and watched some tv. I then fell back asleep. Woke up to this new edition of my day. A not so good edition.

Of course I was running late. Then I got to work and our computers weren't working. None of them. GAH!!! Then a super high maintenance client showed up with NO appointment on a day our Doc isn't even in. I get that she's stressed because her pup is having a very hard time after surgery, but that still gives her no right to flip out on me! Which she did. She accused me of lying and hiding things, then she proceeded to yell at me about what she is mad at the Doc for as well as what another clinic did!! Are you kidding me?!?!? First of all, don't ever accuse me of being a liar because that's one thing I'm not. Second of all, don't yell at me!! And if you're going to at least shut up long enough for me to get in some words of my own!! ;)

So she storms out pissed. I break down. I never do this. I must be PMS'ing (TMI much?!). But it broke me down. I HATE getting yelled at. It hurts my feelings and don't ever do that because I do not forget!!!!! Of course I had to call the Doc and I'm so upset he can barely understand me. Then I feel dumb because I hate acting like that in front of him. I feel unprofessional but I just freakin' snapped.

I've had two other clients be upset this afternoon, both by things that are simply out of my control.

Then another difficult client we've been dealing with for a while sent us a letter today that was so rude and offensive I just sat and read it in disbelief. She is refusing to pay us. Are you kidding me?!? Do people seriously act like this?!? She says since we didn't do things up to her standards, she shouldn't have to pay. Umm.. do you go to a grocery store, buy a hundred bucks worth of groceries, and then only give them thirty because the food isn't what you think it should be!?!? I think not.

I try to remind myself that most pet owners (myself included) are still sane, rational people and that you have to deal with the bad apples at some point. But all on one day?!?!? Seriously?!?

Ok. Rant's over. I'll be positive later. You know.. at five o' clock.. =)

The Boy Did Good...

So... how was everyone's Valentine's Day?! Not gonna lie.. I had maybe the best EVER!! Let me preface this by telling you a bit about me or you're just going to be like "Huh? I don't understand?!". So I love all things scary. Scary movies (not slasher films-- I hate movies like Scream), ghost stories, haunted places, etc. Which is weird because I hate being scared. I know this because Mr. Perfect scares me at least once fifty times a day. Whole other story. I am not a fan of this habit of his!! But I digress...

I am also a huge history fan. Seriously. Love. It. Like in a can't get enough, read about it, Google historic facts way.

All this to tell you about our V-day. Which happened to be the day after an even better day; that's right, Friday the 13th.


Mr. Perfect called me at work Friday and asked me to leave early. Trust me. He didn't have to ask me that twice!! Then he told me to come on home. I told him "No prob. I'll just swing by the gym for a bit". To which he said "Nope. Come straight home." WHAT?! You can't tell me to skip the gym and think I'm not going to know somethings up!!! So I whined for five minutes a minute, but then agreed to just come on home.

I get home and Mr. Perfect tells me I have 30 minutes to get changed and pack an overnite bag. Right.... Give me something I can realistically do!!! An hour later I was ready to go. (NO idea what I'd packed. I know I didn't have his definition of comfortable shoes!)

We headed to the Historic Downtown district of our lovely little city. Once we headed there he told me we were going to eat at the Pirate House. Yay! 1) I've actually never eaten there in my 26 years in this town, 2) it's deliciously "haunted" (a must for Friday the 13th), and 3) I've heard the food is incredible.
It was. My drink was even better. And we got to hear a ghost story from a pirate while eating! They don't do that at Chili's!!

Mr. Perfect enjoying his food..


Me enjoying mine and my delicious "Flirtini". No clue. Cute name!


After stuffing ourselves silly dinner, we walked down to another cute restaurant for dessert and coffee for Mr. Perfect, wine for me. I'd been to this restaurant before but it had been years. Just as good as I remembered.

Then on to our next stop. (I was currently regretting my not so comfortable shoe choice, but don't you dare tell Mr. Perfect!!) We got back to the Pirate's House and on to this!!


That's right!! We did a Ghosts and Gravestones Haunted Tour of the City!!! Shut up! I've always wanted to do one of these! It was great. I absolutely loved it. How could you combine history and ghosts and not have a successful evening?! I thoroughly enjoyed this. We don't take enough advantage of the gorgeous City we live in and any time we do "touristy" things like this, we always like it. So this was a grand slam in the idea department!

But he wasn't done yet... After we climbed our slightly frozen behinds off the trolley, we headed out to lovely little Tybee Island to spend the night out on the beach. Yep. Oceanfront room for the nite please!! It was awesome! (I realize there are WAY too many exclamation points in this point but Mr. Perfect deserves them!)
We stayed out on Tybee for this night, and then got up for lunch at our favorite restaurant of all time, The Crab Shack. It was kind of cold, but we love this season at the Crab Shack. No tourists and only locals make it a very relaxed place to have lunch. We eat here too much. We can call the servers by name.

Us leaving the Crab Shack.



I honestly had the best weekend ever. Mr. Perfect even made me the best card. He hates buying cards but I love cards, so this made my day. Every day that goes by that I get to spend with this man is a little better than the one before. I swear I love him more and more each day!! I truly hope you all had a great day!!

Something's Fishy...

Mr. Perfect had me leave work early today. Then skip the gym (mighty brave little one, mighty brave..). Now I come home to be told I have 30 minutes to pack a bag and get dressed (and I'm blogging?!). I think somebody might just be in for a great Valentine's Day!!!

Hope you all have a great one! Apparently I'll be M.I.A for the next 24 hours....

The Letter Game

If you want to play, leave a comment on this post letting me know, and I'll assign you a letter. You post ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on. I got the letter N from one of my fave bloggers, Mrs. Mojito over at Make Mine a Mojito!

1. Nighttime. Seriously, I can be exhausted from the minute I wake up til about 5:30 pm, but the minute the sun goes down I am wired!! This makes for many long days at work!!



2. Nightlife! This goes hand in hand with numero uno! I love being out at nite!! I might be part vampire. Except I hate blood. Guess that wouldn't work after all....



3. Nine West. Enough said. They make my favorite shoes ever. My everyday black sling backs... Oh I just love them!


4. Nickelodeon. Well old school!! Remember the good 'ol days of SNICK?!? Oh gosh I loved Saturday Night On Nickelodeon!! Clarissa Explains it All and Are You Afraid of the Dark were the bomb! (Let's throw some old school slang in while we're on the topic of SNICK!!) Whatever happened to good old fashioned TV?!?


5. Newlyweds.. No lie! I miss that time when it's all so fresh and new and the fights are heartbreaking and the makeups are amazing!! While I love a marriage 4 or so years in, there's nothing quite like those first few months years!! You'll never get to rediscover each other like that again!!

And.. Newlyweds the show!! Is it sad that I own all 4 seasons on DVD?!? I still watch it and so miss the way they were!! Oh Nick and Jessica.. what happened to you?!
.::Disclaimer: I was mildly obsessed with this show. I make no apologies!!::.






6. Nanny. My grandmother who passed away when I was 15. I didn't really get to spend much time with her while she was alive, but she left a lasting impression on me. That lady was tough!! Plus she gave me my first sip of beer! Blame her for my college years!!


7. New York City.. I cannot say enough about my love for this city. I love the energy, the fashion, the people, the jobs.. Seriously. I could go for days. When I was growing up, I didn't want the typical get married, have kids, etc. life that so many women want. I wanted to move to NYC, live in a studio apt. by myself, and write. I have yet to visit, but it will never change my love for this city... Oh New York.. I love you!!!


I'm done! I seriously can't think anymore!!! But while you're here.. check this out! Bama Belle in the Big City is doing a Fantabulous giveaway on her blog!! So head on over there and give her a shout!! Let me know if you wanna play this little game! It's a fun trip down memory lane =).

Seriously?!

I'm having violent thoughts about this woman. I can't help it. Seriously. Who let this woman get in this situation?! I have a problem with the doctors who allowed a woman in her position get implanted with 6 embryos. I get that she had 6 done before and ended up with a singleton, but COME ON! Let's think about the risks here people! I am flabbergasted by her. For taking the risk that she did when she had 6 little lives at home she's already responsible for. I can't say enough about the problems I have with this. The saddest part is there are now 8 little babies in this world that are completely innocent and will more than likely struggle with everyday challenges simply because their mother can't support them as well as they may need. I'm sickened at the extra cost she just took on herself when she was already barely making it. I pray for her in the future. And those 14 children.

By the way.. and I get that this is catty, I'm completely agreeing with the gossip sites that say this woman wants to be Angelina Jolie!! Did you see her interview with Ann Curry last nite?!? 'Ol Angie would've thought it was her!! Same mannerisms, same lips. I do not kid you. You Tube it.

I loved Kate Gosselin on Dr. Phil today. You should listen to her Nadya! That woman is on it!! She might be scary controlling but I have a sick obsession deep love with her not so little family!

I dropped my Ipod while booking it on the treadmill today. Then bent down to pick it up. I almost died. I kid you not.

After the gym I came home and ate about a pound of low country boil. What is my problem?!?!

I started taking some of my pre-pregnancy drugs today. My stomach already hurts again but my headaches have ceased. Oh my poor body. I apologize in advance for what I'm fixing to do to you!

I love Simon Cowell. He might be the meanest person on the planet but I love him!! The hubs and I are arguing about what he's been saying tonite. Don't argue with me on American Idol hubs!! I know my Simon!!!

Sorry for the randomness. I hit my head on the treadmill today and then almost fell asleep while doing crunches. I think I should go to bed now. G'nite!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Whew! What a weekend. We started it off on not such a great note when we had to put our family dog, Indy, to sleep. Never easy and we were all pretty upset most of the day Saturday, but it gets better. His buddy Abby is back in the North with my parents and is kind of having a hard time. You see it a lot actually. When two dogs spend that much time together, if one passes, the one left behind has to deal with the loss. They will literally make themselves sick with grief. So Mom and Dad are showering her with extra attention right now. She'll love that! She's such a good dog!

Saturday afternoon we went to grab a quick bite to eat with the fam at the Dawghouse Grill. Excellente! Even though I didn't get my normal extra long cheese coney and opted for a salad, it was still so good. We had an oyster roast over at the grandparents that nite. My little brother was in town this weekend to come to the baptism. However, he spent most of the time with a former best friend of mine so I barely got to see him. It doesn't bother me that he did this; what bothers me is when I asked him about it, he flat lied to my face. Not cool. But I digress.. So we had an oyster roast. I of course ate my weight in oysters (pure protein people!). It was such a gorgeous nite out!

Oyster roasts are probably one of my fave things to do where I live. So relaxed and chill just sitting 'round the bonfire. The food and drink rocks too. And I go where the food goes!

Sunday Mr. Perfect and I got baptised!! It was awesome. Both sets of our parents came as well as my little brother and my grandparents. The sermon was awesome as well that day so our whole family approves of our new church! Yay! I can't believe we're church members!! This is a first for our little family! I was a nervous wreck. Not gonna lie. I was shaking so hard I thought for sure you'd be able to hear my teeth all the way at the back of the church. I'm still not sure how I didn't pass out. I HATE being in front of that big a crowd. I still am not sure how I even managed to form words. I'm pretty sure they weren't understandable. Oh well. God got it =). We went to dinner afterwords. Always interesting. Like I said in my Not Me Monday post, Mr. Perfects mom, Mrs. M, totally ratted me out in front of everyone for something I've managed to keep a secret for 6 years!! Thanks Mrs. M!!! She sure keeps things interesting!! We had a great lunch. It's so rare that we actually get our whole family together and nobody gets hurt!! Kidding. Kind of. Mr. Perfect's family left right after lunch to make the 3 6 hour drive home. I was so glad they made it down. We thought they weren't going to be able to come and I know Mr. Perfect would have been so disappointed. It meant so much to both of us to have our whole family there!
We spent the rest of the day Sunday in our favorite way: on the couch together, watching TV and reading blogs. It was a great weekend. And I think I love my husband a little bit more now that we are truly united in Christ. It can only get better!!
