Happy Birthday, Gabby!

Today is my daughter's birthday. She will officially be 7-years old at 3:42 pm. I got out of work early today (surprise surprise) so I could run around picking up more presents, cake, etc. Nothing has gone as planned. I stayed too long in Target, but got lots of cool stuff for her. I saw this keyboard, and thought, "Gabby would LOVE that!", and then instantaneously I thought, "My EARS!!!" But, it's her day, and I can't wait to see her bright brown eyes light up, so I bought it anyways. I went to the grocery store to pick up a cake and a bouquet of balloons. Somehow I forgot about the balloons, and on my way home, I had to make an emergency stop, at the stop light, before I sailed through an intersection of traffic, I forgot all about the cake, and the stupid thing went flying onto the passenger floor!!! Remarkably it's still in relatively good shape - just smushed up against the packaging on one side, and missing frosting from the top on the other side - that's all!!! I can't believe this. I just hope Gabby doesn't notice. I almost bought her sparkler candles, but didn't...should I have?

We were supposed to go to Chuckee Cheese tonight with Josh and Carla and her son, but I'm so tired, I still have to go to the gym, come home shower, pick up Gabby, and then after all that, drive her to her dad's. And...after my shopping today...I'm broke!!! Broke Broke Broke. Do you think Gabby might understand??? She is getting some cool stuff afterall...I won't even mention what she conned Josh into buying her last night when he babysat for me (another story!!)

On another note - I feel like my computer has been invaded. It's been doing all kinds of crazy things the last couple of days. I'm not sure what to make of it, other than the fact that one of the guys I've dated before is pretty much a computer hacker, and he is kind of mad at me, and he did tell me all about how he likes to screw with people...I don't know...could be nothing...it's just weird!!!

I'm glad Gabby liked faking my gift good. I would be worried otherwise... :0)
I'm confused, what do you mean? I haven't checked my mail this weekend. Is your gift coming soon?

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
