Life Lately

So, I guess I disappeared for a while and then came back with no explanations. I'm cool like that. I'm all, "Y'all, I'm mysterious and I have mysterious stuff going on that I'm too cool and mysterious to tell y'all about."
 
ROFLOL
 
Right.
 
No, what I am is busy. And sometimes loading photos from my phone to Blogger is an ordeal I don't have the patience for. But...lucky ducks, I had some patience AND time today. So here it goes.
 
Other than work stuff, which is totes boring, I went on a little mini vacay Labor Day weekend to visit Sis1 and Emmy in Tuscaloosa. I hadn't been in I can't even tell you when. I can say with certainty that Emmy was a foot shorter the last time I was in T-town, though!
I left Thursday night and came back Monday and we had all sorts of fun in between. Like, going to see War Room.
 
And taking selfies at the theater. I'm so glad I have a teenage niece and a sister who don't mind selfies. Because I know a lot of people who give the world at large grief over such a thing...calling it narcissistic and whatnot. But I love selfies. I love being in photos with the people I love and just being silly and unpretentious. Like, we knew we were being lame but that was what made it fun!
 
 
I also got to experience riding shotgun with this girl! Yikes! haha She drove us to church on the back roads and she did really well. Her mom, on the other hand...her mom was a basket case the whole way. She is NOT a cool passenger for a student driver. lol

Emmy also let me play with her fancy DSLR camera. Mostly because she wanted to model her new dress but whatever. She's going to be in the homecoming review soon since she is in the running for Freshman maid. I think she's got a good shot but I'm biased.
 
I'm also biased about my photography skills but dag-gum, I did good. haha #NotSoHumbleBrag
 
Also, I want a fancy DSLR camera. Any millionaires reading this who wanna make a poor girl's dreams come true? No? *sobs*
 
Anyway, we had a great time. Lots of fun and shopping and eating in places I don't get to eat at. Libby got to terrorize the dog they dogsat for that weekend so she had fun, too.

But alas, I had to come back to work where the crane was finally put in place so that the fourth floor expansion can begin. We've got lots of construction noise to look forward to, so y'all pray for my sanity. ;-)

That's where I live for 40 hours a week. The expansion is going to happen on the on the left side of the building right next to my department. Suppa fun times!

So yeah, that's my life story for the past couple of weeks.

:-D

You DO deserve a DSLR camera, hon. You're a great photographer! That pic of Emmy in her new dress is beautiful. You know, you have a lot of talents...very crafty, a terrific writer, a great photographer...and I'm sure there's other stuff that I don't know about yet :-)

I want a fancy new camera, too -- I need higher powered zoom, baby! Much prefer my neighborhood cranes to yours -- did you see the pics I posted over the weekend? A pair of Sandhill cranes has been feeding the last couple weeks at a nearby park. Well, except this weekend. They were there Friday, but the last two days there were two dozen geese instead of the cranes. I'm sure they're still around the neighborhood somewhere. *G*

Thanks, Aunt B. What's that old saying...A Jack of all trades, master of nothing? Is that how it goes? I dabble at a lot of things but I wouldn't say I'm especially talented in any of it. At least, not when I compare myself to the amazing talents of other people. But I'm okay with that. As long as I'm enjoying myself. ;-)

Heather~I haven't had a chance to make my blog rounds this week but I'll definitely head over there now. I've a feeling I'd much prefer your cranes over mine, too! lol

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
