A little work never hurts when you get to play!

Today has been fun! I had a nice stack of laundry to iron. Gary and Jasmine also Christy were like wait until you need it or just throw it back in the dryer. It will not kill me to iron a little bit of clothes.


 The baby was quite confused why mommy wasn't paying her any mind. I was just walking around her in circles lol.

But this was the evil pile of laundry ....well half of it that was needed to be done.
As you can see Crybaby was doing her part......

Holding down the laundry! So that it wouldn't run away.




Well my breakfast.....peanut butter...HONEY ROASTED peanut butter. My favorite and a glass of tea. I know I should eat a better breakfast but I forgot and needed a quick snack.















I managed to dress well today. I managed to stay  like this all day until the walk lol. I worked on making a signature for the end of my blog. I managed to make it but....I do believe I need to tweak it a bit. So let me know what you guys think of it :)

Now I managed a little me time. Which was nice. A little music, chat with a friend online and no issues no problems-no pay me attentions or anything! All the animals were asleep (hence the no pay me attentions). :) I had a late dinner which I need to take my medicine soon. But I am looking to get my yellow table cloth sewed tomorrow.  It shouldn't take long all I need to do is cut it out and hem the edges and POOF its ready. I might go to Lowes to see if they have the colors I need for my kitchen. I am totally serious about painting it. I might even see if Bill might want to come and get all gritty with me. Shoot it would give him something to do....he's gonna hate my colors probably! But I've got such great ideas to make this house look Wonderous and I need to get it done before June. So I have a month to get what I want to do done. Why a month? Jasmine's grandparents are coming and I want the house to be in 250 % par. Color cordinated: chairs covered so that they will match things. Maybe even a pillow to go in each table. Some mats and such!

I'm multitasking and I can't sign into my BurdaStyle account! *Sad face*

AHA! Password reset YES >____<


hehehe jasmine just killed the board we have separating the kitchen so the doggie can't go do her "business in the corner"....then she promptly picks it up puts it back-looks at me and steps over...*shakes head*

My silly family!

She is my heart :) She helps me out so much. Makes my life interesting. She just came home from work and she's in there
doing dishes! So yeah no one can't say she ain't the stuff!

THese two: What can I say. They are my heart and soul when I look at them, I see so much
She is her daddy's girl. Its been a while since we've seen her. Maybe it's time we make time!

And for once I get a great pic with him not making a funny face!
Its so hard to get pics around here because I always get-no I look awful or I will break the camera.

Really? Come on people! I am almost out of ways to take pics of the animals sleeping!

So about the walk. Me and Athena went on our walk today-poor darling around 30 minutes of walking and she was like HOME. So we stopped for a moment.

So While we were stopped: PHOTO OP! Athena didn't want to sit still lol. She was like MOM ALL THE SMELLS! so i got her to rest then we finished our walk. Then home we came, and here I sit letting you guys know whats what lol!

I'm thinking about doing the instagram thing also...not sure-I downloaded it a long time ago but never used it. So I just might do that! :)

Night!


Clean house always makes things better :)

Well after two days of working on laudry it is finally done! *jumps for joy* ok maybe not too much joy. I still have to put up one basket plus iron a stack of clothes. :( But its ok. Today I had a bit late start but that is because well I couldn't sleep so I was up surfing for patterns :) Hehehe YES sewing is coming up soon! So I finished up my desk area today, did a little bit more organizing in my closet.

I've started this {Pose} app and well its totally awesome.  You can keep up with your outfits and cool things that you just want to share. I think my niece Crissy would be able to rock the app. She always has interesting little outfits on. I am so trying to get back in the habit of dressing...not the BUM look lol! But its sooo much easier than getting up fighting with hair, picking out clothes and such. But I have them why not use them. Plus I have some awesome design ideas for a couple of dresses. I hope it comes to fruition but I have some tacking to do first on a couple of Goodwill finds.

I had some alone time time tonight. Jasmine had work so, I invited Bill over for a bit. Poor guy he was feeling good but not up to par for a walk. That was the original plan.  We talked a little and discussed fixing my hope chest and inserting something to use the open space in my closet between my shelves. I have an idea so once I can I will so have it fixed!

Something else I want to do is take a pic of all my stuff in the closet and create outfits on this other app I have. I don't know if it will be productive but it may be fun :)




 Well Jasmine finally got home-the me time was awesome! I found my old music player and personalized my pc a bit more to me. Now back to Jasmine poor thing came in starving! So she ate the plate I had fixed for her plus a second plate. Then we went for a small walk for the puppy. Athena LOVED IT!


 Then we both realized we wanted sweets...so I made us funnel cake.

After funnel cake its time for bed. I know sweets before bed......Splendid! I have a bit of a early day..not too early since I'm up this late but. I was dreaming of painting the house..so heres some of the things I want to do

I love this because it will brighten up the room give a bit of a color scheme that I can work with..because I am all about color!

This is a subtle but nice color coordination I was thinking to do the opposite in the butler's pantry for it.

Again brighten up the room and nothing too crazy!


I know my landlord may have a problem with the kitchen paint job but it wouldn't take much for me to repaint it white if he wished it. I mean I WANT COLOR! So I thought do one room in a week or two :) Wonder how everyone else is going to take it :)

Interesting two days

Wow! I was going to write a blog like Thursday Night! But my sister decided to stop by and visit late Thursday night. We set and talked and enjoyed each other's company. It was nice, but oh gosh I was up so late! I didn't get to sleep until 330 am. I had to shower and all. Jasmine and I were going to go on a walk to just relax. But well that got railroaded. Its OK :) It was late anyways.

Well Thursday I decided to go have a cup of "Mud" (coffee) with my best friend Bill. It was great. I took him a cup of my homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup. He loved it!  I even excused my self and said good night several times but as always, we began another topic and OFF WE GO! Talking for another hour or so.

AH Wait! I forgot about my Goodwill adventure earlier that day. I decided to go and see if I could find a table cloth for my dining room table. And I did! It was great. It brightens the room up. I will post a pic as soon as my iPad charges. I let it die. : ( While there Jasmine put her resume in the job district and I met my niece Crissy! She was bargain hunting also. It was so great to see her. We really don't get to see the family much. I know we should but by the time Gary has time off from work, he just wants to rest. I understand he works really hard all week. But maybe I can start slowly encouraging him out.

So my loot from Goodwill was a table cloth (pink), a bowl with flowers in (which is interchangable. I can add different flowers per time of year), a candle holder and a candle (which smells amazing).

Well as for my table it so doesn't look like it did Thursday night after dinner...... but instead looks like

While I am trying to write this blog I have a Crybaby lounging on my desk and using my arm as a pillow. *sighs* the joys of Kittymommiehood.....its nice though to have her like that even though sometimes it is completely and utterly annoying. Especially when she decides to lay on my laptop keys. Lots of beeps, bunk, and bonks.

Well Friday things went well I manage to get up early but not as early as I would have liked. I got my chores done, then headed to do my biweekly clean over at Bill's. I help him out with the dusting and such. He gives me great coffee! Coffee and conversation awesome. He is the ole' bachelor who is like dusting "HA I laugh at DUSTING.....isn't it suppose to be Grey?"  Me: Um no Bill its suppose to be either black, red, or even brown-not grey. *shakes head* So it works he does his laundry, dishes and other man stuff and I handle dusting, sweep and mop ;) Have to sweep and mop after dusting or the floor is just yuckie.

So last night we Gamed: ok to explain this. Its like D&D but not D&D but Palladium. Gary started a game and we've played it for about 4 sessions now. I wanted the game to end around oh 1am...yeah it ended around 3am. *sighs* then since the boys was drinking Devils Cut whiskey-after the game session conversation continued until 8am. So I got to bed around 830-9am. Slept almost all day! Which was very awful. I had laundry to do, my desk area cleaned up...I want to start sewing again so need organized area. Plus I was racking the yard. Well got up at 4pm. Awful I know-woke up and at 515 got started on the yard. Gary helped so it was done by dusk! Then it was off to MickyD's for some nuggets and a double burger! Yummy supper. Very because I did not feel like cooking! Oh I need to remember to post my meatloaf recipe. It is now officially done! No more experimenting my flavor is there,.

A hot shower and now some quality time with the husband. *waves bye* Later guys!

Wow its been over a month!

So lets see how to sum things up. Spring break came and instead of happy and joy I had a serious burn out! UGH! I know right? Spring Break! Thats beach time...down time...no teachers time! And one major thing for me HUBBY TIME! My spring break is around our anniversary! I had a lot of stress on me and was dealing with a whole new cocktail of meds from my doctor. I believe that maybe just maybe that is partly what caused me to drop. Plus the antidepressant wasn't really being anti-depressing. I was getting more and more depressed. So I crashed...I ended up seeing the counselors at school and even met with the Psychiatrist there. He took me off the "medicine cabinet" of drugs I was on and took care of my depression!

Because of all this I had to do a medical withdrawal from classes. Which BITES! But it was and is needed because I need time to get my  head straight and get back in the game. I am trying but eh-I can only do so much ;)

So  now I see my counselor once a week. I'm back to my old doctor-after he realized oh crap this is serious-we are on a new page of low medicine and more talk. I am now just on 3 medicines for my condition plus my normal prilosec and anti-inflammatory :) I am sleeping again which is AWESOME!

I went to bed a little late last  night and I am a bit sleepy but eh-I am glad to be up :)

I've been working on my house for the past 3 days...and its still not done! lol-no not that dirty but I'm spring cleaning! Hopefully later I will have pictures of everywhere to post. My fridge on the other hand really needed to be cleaned! I was like what threw up in my fridge? No kidding it was bad and we don't have kids! Just half asleep Garys getting tea out of the fridge!  :)

Yesterday was my first attempt of making red velvet cake! YUM! It wasn't as fluffy as I wanted it to be, but its perfect. Not to rich or sweet just right.

I am hoping to post a bit more later but for now this is it. :) I have more cleaning to do. I was just running away from the bookshelf I am cleaning. Its kind of scarey in there!

Oh and I dyed my hair again!

Well I think I better get back to it :)

I will tell about my Goodwill excursion later ;) BYES!

Lost memories

THere are times when I find myself so alone. BUt I know I am not alone. I have those who love me around me. Some I wish would have a softer tone with me, or maybe one to have a more generous heart. BUt how can I ask this when my fault isn't being generous at all times.

I am completely lost. Things feel as they did before I saw a doctor. Now I am spiralling. No where to grab...no where to go.

NO beautiful children to call my own. Not of my own blood but I do have my beloved fuzzy children. Never will I here I love you or moma. I know they love me when they curl up to me and bring a comforting purrr from their little bodies. Those cats, Crybaby, Dusty and eve Pesti are my kids. They do not always understand. But they try to help in their own little ways.

I know this is an awful post to have since it is the first one since my last. I know all sunny and shining..now here is the storm clouds covering the moon.

I debate ending this semester-retaking classes in the Fall. But what would be of it? I know not. BUt maybe soon I will have a no or yes.
