& that's the way life goes

It snowed last night.  If you’ve been reading for the past year, you know what I freak I can be about driving in the snow.  (If not you can search the driving/winter categories to get the full effect, mostly I just curse Mother Nature and call her a Bitch a bunch of times)  Especially when I’m trying to get to/from work.

I’ve learned to take deep breaths to calm the anxiety that threatens to overtake me at times and I’m hopeful that maybe this year I won’t be such a spaz.

And what about, hello I live in Michigan and it snows,  I have to walk almost 1/2 mile from my car to my building and I don’t own a pair of boots.  Really?!  WTF is wrong with me?  I went to go scrap off the 4 inches of snow on my car and my feet were soaked.  Well no shit stupid you have tennis shoes on.

Not to mention that at 6am my eyes snapped open and I couldn’t shut them for the half hour of sleep I had left.  This hardly ever happens to me so I was quite pissed off.  And when you are awake the dogs can tell.  Liko began to whine and run laps on the bed and Nani banged her tail on anything she could find and then would periodically rest her head on the bed and snort like a pig.  So needless to say after the commotion went on for 5minutes I had to get my ass out of bed and feed them.

And just because this is my blog and “I do what I want” here is the list of things I need to do before next Thursday.  Maybe it will make me less spaztastic.  Yes I know that isn’t a word but I’m using that anyway.

BTW has anyone seen my coffee mug, I’ve obviously not had enough…

Before tomorrow:

• Get $10 thing
• Buy pop

Before Saturday:

• Print out pictures
• make cookies
• get A’s bday present
• decorate for christmas

Before Christmas:

• Buy frames
• pick up gift card
• figure out/make veggie dish
• wrap gifts
• buy Sunni & Rollie’s gifts

I’m guest posting over at Emma’s today

Lately I’ve been thinking about myself  and I’ve come to a couple realizations:

I’m a sugarcoater.  I don’t ever want to hurt your feelings.  So I’ll try to find the best way to put things.  “Why yes that sweater looks great on you, you’d also look good in vertical stripes”.

I have moments where it really is “All About Me”

I’m kind of am bossy.  “Put these downstairs.  Oh! and take these.”

I have a lot of pride.

I like to think I know what I’m doing most of the time.  “No it goes like this, not like that.  Well maybe like that” or “I know where it is, I just have to turn down this street, I think”.

I’m not detail-oriented as much as I would love to say I am.  I just want to start the project, not necessarily read all the directions.  “I have to use the smaller brush to fill in the little spaces?  Really?”

I’m strong-willed and the more you tell me not to do something the faster I’ll run to whatever it is.

I frequently need to be challenged both mentally and physically.

I make plans that are suitable for me and if you haven’t told me things that are going on with you I won’t include them.  But I will let you know what I’m doing in advance so you can plan accordingly.  It’s not my fault you forgot about an event.  I’m not your calendar.

Tell me something about you

I have a question for you and I get to use the cool poll feature.  Cool. Cool.

I recently told someone that I had 5 email accounts and they looked surprised.  But the more I thought about it the more I realized I had more than 5, I had accumulated 10 (6 are gmail!).  So I was wondering if my number is high, low or average.  Yeah, it’s a slow day

[polldaddy poll=1201775]

*Count all open accounts whether you use them regularly or not.

Wow this weekend went  by fast and I’m so tired.  Here are some things that I’ve wanted to post but haven’t yet.

I got my scarf on Saturday from Vanessa at Creative Adventures!!  I had actually forgot about it so I was super excited to see thebox on my doorstep!  It’s so awesome and she made it!  It’s comfy and warm and little did she know, but the colors she used matches my jacket!  Thanks Vanessa!

Kat from Tough Girl 101 gave me an award awhile back!  I seriously <3 her and her blog.  And really have you checked her blog out yet?  If not I can wait.

….la la la….

*Update* I also got this award from the lovely Melissa at About this and that.  She is totally awesome too so I’ll wait again while you go visit her.

….la la la….

I’m going to pass this along to:

My Dogumentary

ramblings of an (un)satisfied 20something

The Melodramatic

little miss firefly

I also finished New Moon this weekend.  Eh.  It was alright definitely not as good as Twilight but I do see the importance it has to the series.  I don’t know.  It was a little predictable but hey that should be expected right?

And to wrap this up here are some pics of my kiddies doggies.

Scooby's thrilled to be wearing moose antlers...really

Liko pimping the elf jacket I got at Target for $2.50

I just want to say we don’t dress our dogs.  Liko likes coats  because he gets cold.  I can’t help it if this one is Elf-like

C sporting the antlers with the cuddle pup around his next. What a dork

He thinks he's handsome

Scooby being pathetic and cuddling with C

And one of Nani, though she doesn’t like her picture taken as much as the other two

Sitting with C

*Note* Please don’t mind our ugly couches. We just bought a new one that won’t be delivered til the first of the year. I hate these but after Scooby chewed the other ones these were the hand me downs we were given. kthxbai

I’m trying to unwind so I’m settled down with New Moon. I don’t really like it as much as Twilight. It’s actually kind of getting on my nerves. I really hope it gets better.

How is your Saturday?
