Decided to Blog today...

Well, not a lot going on today or in general which I'm so glad about.. the last couple of weeks/weekends were jam packed! I haven't decided yet WHAT I'm going to blog about today, and I think I'll just leave it up for the day and randomly comment on things happening around me or on my mind.. sounds fun right?

I realized today that either my mind is slipping or I just stopped caring but I've noticed that I'm not as good with names as I used to be.. It's not terrible yet.. but I mix up Brianne or Brianna or Kirsten vs Kristen.. Diana/Deanna - I used to be very particular about making sure I had it right, but I seem to be slacking at that and I'm not sure why?! Old age I suppose :)

On another note, I've definately been clumsy lately.. beyond my normal stubbing of my toes, I recently got in a fight with the Can crusher we have and it won! The worst part is, it looks like I got punched in the eye... the metal handle fell on my forehead and down my face and bruised my head and scrachted the lid of my eye and made it nice and purple underneath my eye.. yes it looks like I got in a bar fight.. lol.. and I considered using that as my story just so it doesn't sound as stupid as the can crusher handle fell on me..lol.. worse yet Jarad was worried people would think he was beating me up, haha... he was very sweet about it though, obviously it was might fault that I bumped it and it fell on me, but he was very concerned and kept saying he was sorry it happened to me, it was nice because IT HURT!!!!!!! I sobbed a little bit in the bathroom so no one saw then I sucked it up and went back downstairs with Jarad and Sam and had a beer..lol.. so not only was he very sweet to me since I was injured he did it in front of his buddy... reason #4 million and five that I love that guy :) Luckily the bruising and swelling went down pretty quickly, the scratches are still noticeable and a little purple tint under my eye but not terrible, the most painful part is the bump on my forehead, it isn't noticeable when you look at me but it hurts a lot and gives me headaches, again, this happened sunday night and today (tuesday) it's Much better, yesterday was the worst and of course on the day you feel the worst is the day you are super swamped and busy at work.. ugh

Oh well, I made it thru the day, even made it to the visitation for Kelly, a co-worker of Jarad's that passed away in a car accident at the young age of 27, it was a pretty harsh reality to go to a funeral of someone that close to your own age... I didn't know him personally but Jarad and him talked every day at work, so I could tell it was pretty hard on Jarad and I was glad to be there for him.. anyway, I made it thru work and the visitation and we grabbed Arby's and I pretty much crashed..lol.. I laid on the couch, and watched my dvr shows, 30 rock, desperate houswives, and House... there were plenty of things I should have been doing around the house but since last week/weekend was so busy and seemed like a blur, I just wanted to relax..

WHEW- Just got crazy busy around here all of a sudden, but not bad busy... I like busy when I'm knocking things out of the park, getting them done, crossing them off my list, and getting the answers I want, I hate busy when it's busy work and nothing actually ever gets completed, or if it does it gets done incorrectly, I hate wasting time!!! Anyway, I kind of want more coffee!!! lol..

Well my lunch for the second day in a row consisted of Aunt Jan's spicy creamy corn.. lol.. She gave me a big bowl to take home and it's so delicious I've just been eating it as a meal because I like it so much! That, and because we haven't gotten groceries in like a month and the fridge/cupboards are completely empty except for fastfood and easter left overs...lol- Pathetic, I know... I like grocery shopping but I've been wanting Jarad to go with me, I like it even more when we go together but he acts like it's the worst thing in the world... humph oh well, eventually when he is sick of not having groceries, he'll go with me :)

blahhhhhhh I cannot wait until this week is over, get me past April 15th, and I mean way past, I keep saying once tomorrow is over, everything will be better, but I have a feeling I'll have to work some miracle on the 16th or 17th so now I'm saying get me thru this week and everything will hopefully sllllllooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww down. The good news is my day flew by today, the bad news my brain is going to be mush by the time I get home... the plan is to escape around 3:30pm- I was here till almost 5 yesterday, which means I get to leave before 4, for pretty much the rest of the week, as long as I get here by 7:45am instead of 8am like this morning, oopsies... I had to get gas and didn't plan accordingly so I was running a little late, but lucky for me, no one really notices or minds, they know I'm true to my 40 hours and will adjust my days accordingly. The bottom line rule for my hours is this- Never leave before 3pm unless pre-approved, and never show up after 8am unless preapproved, anything before or after those 8-3 hours are pretty flexible.. somedays I stay till 5 some days I leave at 3:30, etc...

so anyways, I'm on hold now with the operations center, this is pretty frequent for me, I call all our operations centers probably 3-8 times a day, making sure all the t's are crossed and i's dotted and everyone in the line is doing their job, it's amazing how many hands touch the paperwork before approval and how much room for error there is when dealing with this stuff.. but that's what I'm here for I suppose- job security.. haha

Well, I used up a good 15 minutes talking to Kristen the new girl up front, I really like her! We just realized we are the same age, like almost to the date, which is exciting because almost everyone here is older than me so it's nice to have someone in the same age group as me, she is engaged which is awesome, but it doesn't sound like she has a lot of education... not to judge, she is very smart and her experience is impressive and great for the job, but I still feel special being one of the few that has a college degree in the office :)

Wow, this blog is going to be pretty boring for those who read it... it's kind of like listening to me talk to myself.. haha but oh well, it helps me sort my thoughts... which when your mind races with ideas like mine, it's good to sort your thoughts.. lol... There are two things I should be doing right now, but I'm putting both of them off until Thur and Friday when my bosses will be in meetings and it will be AFTER the 15th.

I was going to say maybe tonight we will go grocery shopping, but the likelyhood is low, it's suppsoed to be beautiful outside this afternoon and I know we will find something else to busy ourselves with.. lol.. I think I'm going to start tilling up my little garden, I'm terrified to put my plants outside tho... I don't want them to die! I know I need to ween them and bring them outside a little at a time and I'll start doing that this week, but still.. actually planting them in the ground.. EEEK! Here is my list of veggies I'm growing... if I'll actually end up with edible veggies from all these plants it will be a miracle-

Red Peppers
Green Peppers
Orange Peppers
Jalepeno Peppers
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Cucumbers
Onions
Carrots

I think that's everything... yes, I love peppers and that's why I planted a variety, my cucumber plants are not doing the best so idk if those will hold thru, the onions should come out pretty well the rest are a gamble... who knows!?!?

Well, one more hour... this is the moment where I start to hold my breath because something could come across my desk right now that would keep me here till 5, and that's just the way it is... or I could BS and be bored and have nothing to do for an hour.. again who knows?!?!

I do know that for now, I'm wrapping this up, I have some busy work I can do that I'm hoping will be fun and will pass the time a little quicker... enjoy your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
