I sure hope not!

I went to Bonefish Grill last night for dinner with Phil and had a delicious dinner-Coconut Shrimp, Mahi Mahi and garlic mashed potatoes. Was very yummy as usual!

Then I headed up to my brother's football game. On my way, my throat started getting scratchy and close up and it was difficult to breathe-felt like I had just cuddled with a litter of cats-of which I am allergic to and always get scratchy and can't breathe. So what does that mean? Am I now developing an allergy to shellfish and fish? I sure hope not! I LOVE shrimp and am just starting to aquire a taste for fish. I had to use my inhaler 3 times and then took a Benedryl when I came home. I feel better today, but I guess I need to watch and see what happens when I eat seafood again-and bring along some Benedryl all the time. AGH!!

Well, I'm doing laundry right now, but my mom called and asked that I take Tim shopping for something to wear when they announce King-so I'll head up that way soon to take him shopping. He LOVES to shop as much as I do-NOT! It should be fun. Here's how it will go:
Me: Tim do you like that shirt?
T: I don't know.
Me: Well, how about this one?
T: I don't know.
Me: Well, I think this one looks good.
T: I guess.
Me: How about you find one you like.
10 minutes later
Me: Well, what do you think?
T: I don't know.
Me: Ok-I'm just picking some and you go try them on. What size are you?
T: I don't know.

It should be fun! But I am still looking forward to it just the same!

Agh! A Black Cat!

I was driving home from Cari's Bridal Shower this evening and a black cat crossed my path in the alley near my house! AGH!! What does that mean? Bad luck? I sure hope not! I have never believed in that so hope it isn't true.

Anyway, I had my Longaberger Party last on Tuesday night and was able to earn 2 half price items and $60 in credit. Cool! I love their baskets and wish I could have them all! But since I'm a teacher and only make pennies I can't afford to splurge on them but once a year. And having a party is the best way to do it! So I'll be getting new baskets soon! Had a great turnout too! I was surprised that so many came to the party! And everyone ordered! Awesome!

So my little brother-Tim-the senior in high school made Homecoming Court and I am soo excited for him! For a while he was in Pat's shadow-the older brother. So next week is when he will find out if he is King! I am keeping my fingers crossed! I think he deserves it as he is captain of the football team and has really been rallying for the team! He told them he'd shave his head if they won. (He has really long hair) And another player told the team that they need to get their attitude in the game and Tim told him that it was his attitude that needed to change-which the rest of the team agreed with. (PS-the same player has since quit the team-after he dropped a ball in the end zone which would have won the game-he had the ball, but was playing around with it. AGH) So keep your fingers crossed that Tim gets King-he is liked by sooo many and has a lot of friends!

It is Friday tomorrow and I can not tell you how excited I am to see it here! It seems that this year is just creeping by! I need to call USF to see about getting into the Master's program there. Deadline in Oct 15. Gotta get crankin!!! Have a good night!

Friday is here!

Thanks goodness! I couldn't wait to see this day come! Why you ask. Well, I'm just warn out and need some R&R! So right now I'm doing laundry, packing Peanut's stuff and my stuff for the weekend. I'll be dropping her off at the dog sitters in the morning and then I'm off to the beach for a Bachelorette party for a friend. We are all getting together for a lingerie shower lunch. And then we are headed to the beach chairs and soak in the sun! Later in the day we are headed out to party! It should be fun as we have a lot planned! I am not sure what I'll wear out that night so still trying to figure that out!
Then on Sunday, we are going to lay in the sun again before heading home. So that's what I have planned-How about you??

I'm all done

The painting is over! Thank god! I have this huge cabinet in my bathroom that was behind the door-I stored everything in it-toilet paper, tampons, makeup, lotions, soap, medicine, and tons more things. So after painting the walls and ceiling, I decided the cabinet needed to go to a new home as I was not about to paint another crack or crevice! I found a little standing shelf to take it's place-it looks kind of small but for now it'll do-the tags are still on it in case I find something better. So now to get the huge cabinet out-well, I had the energy to finish that room tonight-was going to mop and put the new shower curtain up, but I realize I need someone to help me so I don't scratch my floors. I have to wait til tomorrow, then Phil can help me. I want to do it NOW!

So my next reality TV show is beginning tonight-Amazing Race! I love that show! If I could be on Reality TV, I'd want to be on that one, and Big Brother! I love those 2 shows. I haven't watched Survivor from Thursday yet. I had to tape it as I was bust watching 2 really funny new shows. Til Death and Happy Hour. They are funny-check them out!

OK-enough babling! Amazing Race is on...

Painting a bathroom is NO fun!

I am finally getting around to painting my bathroom. When I first moved in, I painted it a light purple and I liked how it looked. Well, now my tastes are changing and purple just isn't a great color to find towels to match and I don't want purple towels. So for my birthday I asked my mom to buy me a new shower curtain, rug and towels. I of course picked them out and they look more grown up. Now that I have my new furniture I am trying to finish making my house feel more grown up to. So out with the purple and in with the new. The color will be a creamy white and the shower curtain, towels, and rug have blue, green, and cream in them. My shower tiles are a greenish blue-not teal though. So I started painting some of the trim tonight and UGH!!! It sucks to piant a small place! I know I need to be patient and take my time so it will look right, but UGH!! I think I'll finish tomorrow! Off to finish laundry-even more fun!

WOW is about all I can say!

I am still amazed! I went to UCF from 93-97 and when I left they were in the process of building the first parking garage on campus. (Why hadn't they done that earlier? Parking was crazy when I was there!) Well, Thursday evening my brother-who plays soccer for UNF-was having a soccer game against UCF-so since it is only 2 hours away, my folks and I hopped in the car and took the easy ride over to watch the game. Much to my surprise as we pull up, I see they are working on another parking garage-I think it is the 2nd one-but NO! There were at least 7 parking garages now and about 15 more sets of dorms compared to the 3 sets they had when I was there. I was floored-there were even stop lights on campus now and there weren't any when I was there. As my mom drove, I just sat there awestruck! I couldn't believe what I saw! Apartment stlye dorms, new buildings, a brand new gym-better than the Lifestyles I belong to-with a rock climbing wall! And so much more . There used to be one road that went all around the campus and you had to walk into the center of campus, but now there are all these roads that go into the center, and about 5 entrances (that I saw) compared to the 2 or 3 back then. It makes me want to go back just to experience it all again! WOW!!!

The game was ok-but Pat didn't get to play. I'm sure he is disappointed since he is such a good player, better than some of the players that did play. But we got to see him and talk to him and I gave him some banana bread I had made for him. My mom says he is homesick, I think so too. He is getting to know the other players on the team-as he lives with 2 of them, but other than that he really doesn't know many other people there. I want to make a trip up there to visit him and spoil him. Maybe in a few weeks I'll take a road trip. Enjoy your day!
