No Room... My Life is Full

Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night was so much fun!!!!  I met up with my hoochies and we walked on into the concert area.  We got our drink tix and of course immediately proceeded to the nearest beverage station. Heh heh! 

We went on into the seating area and started the people-watching fun!  There were quite some freaks out there last night.  I think going to concerts are so cool because you talk to people you might not normally talk with or even meet and they are always so interesting.  Last night we met some dude that had been seeing this band since 1998 and he went on and on and on.  In fact, he went on so much we wanted him to shut up so we could hear the music.  LOL 

We worked our way up to the front and by the end of the night we were at the stage.  We ran into another dude that we see, I swear, at every show we go to!  It's so funny, cuz we always recognize each other!  We have no idea what his name is, but he always remembers us and we always say "Hey, how's it going???"  Too funny!!!!!!

So much fun!  I absolutely love going to concerts with my friends!  So much to do, see, hear, and drink!  I cannot believe we haven't gotten together since March.  I missed those girls!!!!

 

After the show we lingered around, as we usually do.  In fact, I think we were like the last to leave.  haa ha ha haha!!!!!  As we were walking in the dark back to our cars I stepped in some huge ass mud puddle!  I couldn't see but I sure felt it.  Gross!  We got to the cars and the three of us piled into Donna's truck and headed over to a diner for some coffee and a snack. 

When we walked into the diner I looked down at my foot and it was so yucky!  Dried mud all over my toes and leg.  So, I ran in the bathroom and stuck my whole foot, flip flop, leg in the sink.  LOL  We were laughing so hard! 

We headed over to our table and hung out for a while and took some silly photos.  I set my camera up on a timer, but the stupid flash didn't go off.  Oh well, here's the series of photos from that. LOLOL

Almost August???

This has been another busy week.  I swear I don't remember June or July at all.  This summer is blowing by way too fast.  Why is it when we are little kids summer seems to go on forever and ever? 

Monday afternoon I prepared a dinner for my friend who's husband died a few weeks ago.  I took it over there still hot and she didn't want me to leave.  I felt really bad for her.  I stayed as long as I could, but then I had to leave to go to the gym. Another one of our friends decided we should take her out one night next week, so we are all going to dinner next Thursday....nothing big, just dinner at a place nearby.  I hope she will be able to enjoy it.  I hate seeing my friends in pain.

Tonight I'm meeting up with my hoochie friends for a concert!  I haven't seen them since March (has it been that long?  wow).  This hasn't been our typical summer.  Usually we are on the go almost every weekend, but this year money and time has just been limited everybody.  We also decided that after countless Charlie's Angels poses over the past 3 years, we haven't been doing them correctly.  LOL  So, we plan to do it the right way and have a new one!!!!  :-)   It's supposed to rain tonight, I think.   I hope not....

I've been scrapbooking a little the past couple weeks.  Over the weekend I managed to get an Easter/Spring layout done.  Next will be spring soccer, then I still have some stuff from last April to do.  Sometimes I wonder why I bother doing these books, but I guess when I'm dead and gone somebody will like them??? Haa ha ha haa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before/After Bathroom Photos

BEFORE - Ugly ass vine shower curtain in olive green and lavendar walls:

 

After - Lively Lime Green and Black/White Shower Curtain!

 

Before - Ugly old white vanity circa 1970's:

 

After - Still ugly old vanity but at least it's painted black!

 

I purchased green towels, black/white hand towels, black rug.  Still need to get a new mirror and new curtain valance and rod:

 

This shelf used to be in my kitchen and was white.  I painted it black and put some of my colorful scrapbook paper in the picture slots:

 

I bought this mirror late in the day yesterday and Ron hung it up!!!

 

Fun Day

This has been a very busy weekend, to say the least.  Last night Ron purchased a new car.  He got a brand new candy apple red Nissan Altima.  It's very pretty but I am nervous about having car payments again.  I'm glad it is registered in just his name.  I don't want any responsibility of that.

Today my mom took Camden (he is spending the night with her) and Ron and I went shopping for towels for the bathroom that I've been redoing.  We had lunch and then we did something we haven't done in 8 months....we went to a movie!  Some of my friends have been telling me how hilarious "The Hangover" is, so we went to see the matinee. OMG, this movie is one of the funniest movies ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    I thought I'd die laughing!

Tonight we are going to see some live music.  Ron's guitar instuctor (he's taking lessons) has a band and we are going to hear them.  I'm so tired I don't know how I will stay awake but I guess I will.  It'll be fun!!!!

Quickie Update

I have neglected my blog all week.  I have been so busy at work and at home I haven't had time to think about what to write about.  I also haven't been sleeping....hate it when I get into a cycle of nonsleeping.  Drives me nuts. 

My peppers are coming in like crazy!  I need to come up with lots of recipes and fast!  Otherwise, they will all go bad.  I made salsa and some spicy squash casserole for tonight's dinner.

The bathroom is coming along.  I'm still trying to work on it...slowly.  I've been a slacker on this project, but at least it's getting done.

I can't believe another weekend is almost over.  Where does the time go?  Before you know it Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here.  Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Painting Weekend

This has been a busy weekend.  I painted my master bathroom walls and I like the way it turned out.  I still need to paint the trim and door a fresh coat of white and the vanity cabinet will be painted black.  I also have a shelf that I need to paint black to go over the toilet.  I have taken photos, but I don't want to show them until the room is complete.  It's really happy and cheerful.

Camden had two birthday parties to go to this weekend.  Yesterday was the kid nextdoor and today was my cousin's little boy.  It was good to see my cousin and his wife.  I haven't seen them probably since Christmas (or before)! 

Tonight we grilled out on the deck and had hamburgers.  It was nice to eat on the deck.  We don't do it very often because we just don't have time.  Maybe I'll try to do it more this week.

Not much more going on......how about you?

Master Bathroom Project

My latest painting project is about to take place.  I'm painting my master bathroom.  Walls will be a color called "Lime Mousse".  Basically, it's a light lime green.  Nothing neon or too bold....the bathroom is too small for that.  I am painting my vanity cabinet black and my shower curtain is white/black.  I know it sounds a bit tacky, but I have seen it done and it looks pretty nice.  I am going for a "happy calm" feeling.  Anything has got to be better than the lavendar and olive green that is in there now.  ICKY!

Here's a picture of the shower curtain:

 

Tragic Day

Today has been a very sad day.  Today I had to go to a good friend's husband's funeral.  He was only 37 years old and leaves behind 3 boys.  He was in a bad truck accident...lived in and out of consciousness for 3 weeks and passed away this past Wednesday.  What a tragic funeral.  I've been teary all day long thinking about it. 

Other than that, just cleaning my house.  It's raining outside, so not much going on.  I may try to scrapbook a little later.  I haven't scrapbooked in months.

4th

Happy 4th of July!  Austin woke up this morning and immediately wanted his birthday present:

 

We're going out later for BBQ/Ribs.

Today I cleaned the filthy nasty dirty gas station bathrooms!  Then, I cleaned myself up and went to my friend's husbad's visitation.  It was so sad.  He was only in his 30's.  He leaves behind 3 boys.  The funeral is tomorrow afternoon and I am going to that as well.  I feel bad for my friend.

On a lighter note...anybody going to see fireworks tonight?  Ron bought a few that we will do tonight.

4th of July Weekend 2009

Happy 4th of July weekend!  What are your plans????

Tonight an old high school friend of mine is having a big ole cajun themed party to celebrate the 4th.  It's down in the country and I'm making that Tex-Mex squash recipe I posted the other day.  Hope it's good.  It's not cajun, but it will be spicy!!!

Saturday, is Austin's birthday.  He'll be 17 years old!  OMG, cannot believe it!  He wants to go out for ribs, so we will be taking him out to a bbq place and then home for homemade chocolate birthday cake.  Mmm.....delish!  I think he may be bringing his girlfriend, too.  They have been friends for a couple years, but just recently have started dating.  I haven't met her yet.

Speaking of dating, he's been staying out very late and so Ron and I had had to set down some curfew rules.  He isn't happy at all.  Give me a break....everybody has a curfew when they are a teenager.  Deal with it!  So, he's mad at me these days, but I don't care.

Well, I am off to my favorite coffee store, as we are out of yummy coffee.  Can't wait to smell the coffee beans!
