Thank goodness for pool boys and boarding school!

On Monday I went over to Aunt Kahri's house to help her get her pool going. She had been having many complications with the pool and had to end up getting a new motor, new hosing to connect the motor to the pump and had been running all over town for stuff for the pool all week. We hooked the motor up and connected the pump and motor with the hose but we didn't have any o-rings to secure the hose on, so we just left the hose on there as it was for now. After we finished with that we went to the garage to work on putting together the ladder for the pool. We ended up having to go back outside to measure the pool so that we had the correct lengths for the ladder. After we had measured Kahri and I walked over to the pump and she decided to turn it on so that the pool could get circulating. Well she had forgotten that we didn't have the o-rings on and the hose flew off and we both got sprayed with water!!! We were cracking up! And as we walked back to the garage Kahri said, "I love my pool, but I don't like pool maintenance. It's the same with children. I love my children, but I don't always like raising them." And I replied, "Well, that's what pool boys and boarding school are for!"

Tackle It Tuesday

I decided to join in on Tackle It Tuesdays, because I have lots of things to tackle!!! This week I'm going to be tackling my room. I don't have any pictures at the moment because I just now decided to join in but I will take pictures tonight and edit them in tomorrow. Just an advanced warning, be prepared to see a disaster area!!!

The first thing I'm going to start off doing is my laundry. I'm going to get all of my clean clothes that are sitting in my laundry baskets and put them away and get my dirty laundry washed and put away. Next, I'm going to work on my floor. I'll probably start off with just making piles according to where I want that stuff to go and then leave the piles there while I work on cleaning off my bookshelf and coffee table because I know I'll have more stuff to add to the piles as I clean off those. Once I have my bookshelf and coffee looking the way I want then I'll work on the piles in the floor. And once I've completed that I'll work on my closet. I'm going to take the stuff on the shelf in my closet and put them into a few tubs that I bought and I'm going to put my extra bedding that I have in XL Ziploc bags on that shelf instead. Also, I'm going to try to get my room painted this weekend. I'm not sure if that's going to happen yet or not. I think that's all for now. Remember to check back for my before pictures of my tornado struck room! LOL!

8 Random Facts

I was tagged by Aunt Kahri to write 8 random facts about me. So here I go.

1. I think that a nice, juicy steak and a tall glass of orange juice are a perfect combination!
2. I always have to have music playing. If I don't have access to music then I'll make my own by singing.
3. I busted my chin four different times as a child and never got stitches.
4. The first time I ever had stitches was about 4 years ago. I sliced through the tendon on my left middle finger cutting the plastic wrap off a whole chicken. The stitches were in a U shape and the doctor told me that I just needed to put two dots above the stitches and then when I flipped someone off my finger would be smiling at them! LOL! But of course I don't make such hand gestures!
5. I change my signature every few years. I'm actually thinking about changing it again.
6. I'm very neurotic about ceratain things. For instance, it bothers me when people leave cabinet doors open or when someone doesn't turn the light off when they leave the room.
7. I tell my mom every day that it is my birthday! She never gets many anything though! :(
LOL!
Ok one more. Think, think, think. I got it!
8. My senior year of high school I was put in in-school suspension for skipping school and I liked being in there more than being in class because I would get all of my work for the day at once and I could work on it and have it all finish in the morning and have the rest of the day to read my books! If it were up to me I would've stayed in there the whole year! LOL!

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen!

I'm Still Here!!!!

You thought I'd left for good didn't you? Well I don't have much of an update on me but I do have a very exciting update on my parents! My dad has been working on opening up his own barbecue place for a long time. A few years ago they were trying to get everything worked out to open up a restaurant but that fell through. And recently my dad has been working on trying to start a meat wagon. Well this time everthing is going very smoothly! He was somehow introduced to the owner of a smoke shop. He's Native American and the land he is on is Native American also. Well he told my dad that he can use his parking lot to set up his meat wagon and he's not going to charge my dad for using the land! Also he's not going charge my dad for water or electricity, and my dad will be using quite a bit of electricity! Furthermore he told my dad that he doesn't need to worry about paying him taxes and he won't need to charge his customers tax! So all the money that my dad gets from selling his barbecue will be his to keep!!! What a blessing!!! The other exciting news for my parents is that they are taking out a large loan. They're going to pay off my mom's car, my dad's car, all of their credit cards, they're going to buy a truck from my dad's friend, and the rest is going to go towards fixing up our house! We're going to fix the plumbing and possibly get a new bathtub, we're going to get new carpet, fix the guttering and all kinds of 0ther stuff! I'm excited for them! Also they're going to use some of that money so that the four of us, me, my mom and dad, and my younger sister Kayleigh, can go on an Alaskan cruise! It was just going to be my parents going but now they are going to pay for my sister and me to go! I've never even been on an airplane before and now I get to go to fly to Seattle, Washington, go on a cruise to Alaska and Canada, and fly back home!!!! I am soooooo excited!!! I wish it was September now and time to board that plane!!! I'm hoping that we'll have some time to tour Seattle as well!!!! I better start saving my money!!! I know I'll have lots of shopping I'll want to do!!! There's a lot of exclamation marks in this blog! Can you tell I'm excited?

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Emily!

Happy birthday to you!

Love you Sweetie!!!

Frustrations!!!

Ack! Ok I just wrote this blog and accidently erased it all!!!! So I'm starting over again.

What a morning! I woke up late this morning and hopped in the shower. And then I spent the rest of the morning trying to find something to wear. I tried on two skirts and neither of them fit which was depressing! I am always running late for work!!! I should be super skinny from all the many times that I've been "running" late. Eventually I just went into my sister's room and grabbed a pair of her pants. I ended up leaving the house at 8:00 which is when I'm supposed to be at work! And on top of everything I had to walk through a big ol' puddle to get out of my car!

Ok I have to admit that my being late all the time is my own fault. I have a few problems that I need to address. One of them is my laundry. I need to do my laundry and then actually put it away. That's my big problem with laundry. I never put it away. I always leave in the laundry basket and then when I'm looking for something to wear I have to dig through the basket to find something.

The other problem I have is very serious! It may require counseling to get recover from this problem. It is a rebellion issue; against my alarm clock! I know, I know it's crazy! Why would anyone rebel against an inanimate object? I have issues I guess. The alarm goes off every morning and I think, "You can't tell me what to do! I'll get up when I'm good and ready to!" And then just to spite my alarm clock I'll lay there for as long as possible before getting out of bed. The irony is that I'm the one that sets the clock to go off! I need help!

Another issue that I've recently encountered, which has absolutely nothing to do with getting to work on time, is a new addiction. I am now addicted to blogging!!! I knew that my Aunt Kahri was addicted to blogging but I had no idea that it was a common thing or that it was likely to happen to me! There should be a warning label when you sign up for a blog. WARNING: Blogging is highly addictive! Some studies have shown that it can lead to dependency! So now instead of working I am blogging! Speaking of work, it's time that I get back to it.
