Day 1

This lady kicked my butt tonight!! In the next 30 days she may kill me!! My legs are already shaking! Stay tuned for the results!!

I can't put this book down!

This book has me hooked yet again! I would highly recommend reading this series of books! 

All the characters in this book are from another series that I would also recommend! If you want to start from the beginning with all the characters start with:

The Redemption Series

then

The Firstborn Series

followed by

Sunrise Series

If you read all those you will be following The Baxter Family which is also in The Above the Line Series

I have also read the 

Lost Love Series and the Cody Gunner Series. She also has several stand alone books This side of Heaven, Between Sundays and Like Dandelion Dust. I have read. I have loved all of them!

I hope you will enjoy one of these books too!

Good Friday

Since I work for one of the GREATEST company's around I have the honor of having Good Friday off. Usually I would just spend it at home with J cleaning or just being lazy but today I decided that I needed just a few more hours of mommy time. So J went to his Pa's to work and I headed to town. 

First I sold some bows I made. Which turned out super cute and I was so excited about. Then I headed over to the in-laws house to meet my MIL. We headed off to Sam's because I needed to get chips for our family gathering on Sunday for Easter. I am pretty sure I bought enough! I got 4 HUGE bags I wasn't sure what kind people would want so I got a variety! After that we headed to lunch at Red Lobster and chatted while we ate. We were really in NO hurry today because well it was all about us. We headed to get mani/pedi's after lunch and it was fantastic, well other than the monsoon that came down while we were in there. I felt totally refreshed after having my feet, legs, arms and hands scrubbed and rubbed! I got a bright pink polish on both fingers and toes in celebration of SPRING!!! MIL and I walked through a few stores at the outdoor mall but since it was raining we decided we would head to Target so I could Easter Bunny shop and get eggs and coloring so we could color eggs tonight. After that I headed home. Decided to stop and buy new wiper blades. First let me say I hate going into part stores because they talk to me like I am a total idiot! I'm not I am well aware of what year and model and even what size engine my truck has. This isn't my first rodeo with a automobile! I go in and say I need replacement blades the guy ask all the information I give it to him and he gives me the blades. I head to C's work so he can put them on. Get there only to discover that they are WAY to small. Head BACK to the store take them in there and told the SAME guy these are too small. His exact words are: NO they aren't the computer says those are right. I nicely tell him again these are too small. 

Him: Well they can't be that is what the computer says

Me: Well I am telling you these are too small if you don't believe me take a tape measure out there and measure them.

Him: grabs tape measure goes out side and measures

Him: did you know that your blades are 2 different sizes.

Me: Yes, I didn't know that until today but yes I am aware that they are 2 different sizes

Him: Why?

Me: I don't know. Those are the same blades that were on there when we bought the stupid truck in 2007. Next time I am at Toyota I will ask that same stupid question and let you know.

Him: goes gets the new blades

Me: ANNOYED!

Him: the difference is 9.21

Me: you mean to tell me that A#1 you sold me the wrong blades the first time, I had to drive back over here for you to talk to me like I am the stupid one and I owe you more money.

Him: Yes ma'am.

Me: extremely ANNOYED

After all of that he wouldn't even put the stupid things on for me because he was the only one working and couldn't!

Ugh, where was I... Oh yes, picked J up and came home only to realize that I forgot to get stuff to make salsa and J needed new shampoo. I know I am in the running for Mother of the Year! I boiled eggs to color only to have one bust in the boiling water which made a HUGE mess! Cooked dinner and cookies for dessert. We colored eggs and yes I took pictures but I am to lazy to go get the camera upload pictures and post them so I will tomorrow. Now I am getting ready to go climb in my bed with a book my MIL let me burrow. It is the 3rd in a series that her and I have been reading so I am super excited to see what happens with the characters. If you have ever read anything by Karen Kingsbury let me know what your favorite is. I am currently reading Take Three in the Above the Line series. I so far haven't read one I didn't like.

Oh it is Tuesday again! Which means I get to ramble a bit!

* Can someone please tell me why my inbox is going to my spam mail and my spam mail is in my inbox? 

* And why am I getting PENIS ENLARGEMENT emails??? Last time I went to the bathroom which was about 5 mins ago I didn't have a penis?? STRANGE!

* On to Facebook. Why am I only getting updates from certain people? And why is it certain people that I don't ever see. I want updates from family that I don't see much. Not people I went to HS with that I NEVER see

* Why if you can't pay your bills and take care of your 2 children would get a dog or buy tattoo equipment when you don't tattoo?? Seriously gets under my skin!

* I took a vacation day yesterday to hang out with my favorite blogging cousin Cole, only to realize that Friday is Good Friday and my office is closed so I only have to work 3 days this week!!!

Ok that is enough rambling for now!!

Not Me Monday!

I most certainly did NOT go pay the water bill while still in my monkey PJ pants and no bra on! I would never wear my husbands hoodie hoping no one would notice.


I would never go to Wal-Mart everyday this week to get one or two things because I am to lazy to make an actual list. Nope I wouldn't do that!!

RTT!!!

* is it a requirement to wear biker leathers while driving a Honda Accord? Saw a guy at the gas station that had on leather chaps and a leather bikers jacket driving a Honda Accord today


* saw a license plate today that said SAMS MOM. I hope Sam doesn't have siblings if so I bet they are pretty mad about mom choosing Sam over them!


* It snowed on Saturday and Sunday. Monday and today it was in the low 70's! crazy


* J is spoiled! Mimi bought him 2 new Wii games with extras on Sunday. Grammy bought him new Puma's today! 


* I want a new pair of tennis shoes! Just realized today that I have had the same pair for almost 5 years!


* Stacy and Colt are coming over Friday to eat dinner and visit! Stacy is going to color my hair for me! I am so excited!!

* Hubby and I are going on a date this weekend! My dad and step mom have scheduled J this weekend! I am so excited to get to spend adult time with my favorite man! 


* a girl at work got DHS called on her and she was bragging about it! I told my boss to please not leave me in a room alone with her because I was liable to get fired for punching her in the face!


* today when I was a Famous Footwear looking at shoes there were several hispanic kids in there that were taking shoes outside! It was funny because the workers didn't know what to do! They kept going and getting the shoes and bring them back! 


* my new favorite drink of choice: Mike's Hard Berry! YUM-O!
