Crud

Broken. Everything is broken and falling apart.

First, I bought a new TV in April (ok, my dad gave it to me as a Mother's Day/Birthday present). I have been VERY happy with the new TV. I have shrugged off flat sceen, fancy, new TVs for years, but I finally gave in because I knew it would make P-Dub happier to watch TV in my room...or anywhere in my house. I only got a 22". It was $250 for a Phillips, and it was just too good to be true. In fact, we asked the sales person why it was only $250 when the Best Buy name brand, Dynex, was more. He couldn't give us an answer. Actually, I think he tried to give us some line about because it was brand new, energy efficient, and the economy was bad. Whatever, we took it and ran. Turns out they had marked it with the wrong price. P-Dub went back the next day and it was actually $350. But you get what you pay for! The damn thing is broken! It keeps flickering and then it has a big green line across it. And of course I can multi task all damn day at work, but the minute I need to do something at home or be organized, this damn ADHD won't let me do anything! (Trust me, I'm not using it as a cop out...my organizing and cleaning and whatever else skills get worse and worse and I can now see all the triggers and instances). So, I haven't taken the TV back to Best Buy, yet.

Sunday...the stupid dryer breaks. I had a load of towels in the dryer and ALL my work clothes in the washing machine. I have been hanging clothes on every piece of furniture, shower rack and whatever else you think of to get everything dry.

And...the TV in the living is breaking. It keeps flickering too. But only when there's a lot of movement in the room. Like if the radio is on in my room.

What have I done about all of it? Nothing so far.

Gabby has been at her dad's for two weeks and I've missed her like crazy. I picked her up today and took her to my parent's because she is now spending two weeks with them in AZ and CO. She looks so much older than two weeks ago. She looks like a junior higher. It makes me want to ball my eyes out. AND...have more babies.

This past weekend P-Dub and I went with my Carolyn and Scott to a driving range. I hit a couple of balls but my lower back was killing me, so I sat around with Carolyn drinking beers and letting the boys hit the damn balls.

I never give myself enough time here anymore and I never blog enough. I'm always cramming things into one damn post. Time for bed.

I'm confused. I thought you were on meds for your ADHD?
Confused about what?

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
