Weekend Recap

This weekend.... ahh where do I begin?

First off Friday....
What did I do on Friday?.... OH I remember.
I went to work (eh, boring)
Then I went to the last day of volleyball camp. (It was fun)
The only downer, I rolled my ankle... yeah it sucks. But I iced it and took some Advil.
I'm happy to report the ankle is doing better.

Saturday:
I went to town and spent way to much money. More then I wanted too.... but totally worth it. I got a new bathing suit and some things for the upcoming car wash (more on this later!)
Then I stopped at Verizon wireless, was there for an eternity and left with a BRAND NEW PHONE! I spent the rest of the evening playing with said phone trying to figure all the bells and button's out. All in All, it's a pretty sweet phone. Now I just need to get a cover for when I drop the darn thing.
I also ate a whole bag of Cesar salad by.myself. Oh and don't forget the pork chop to go with it!

Sunday:
I hung outside, made some car wash signs (again, more on this later).
Then I decided to go to a friends, where we held a mini fishing tournament.
Luckily there were other's on my team who were actually good at fishing so we did pretty good overall.
Both teams tied with 4 fish caught each. However the other team kicked our butts in the size department, they caught fish and we caught Minos.
At the end of the night I roasted some marshmallows and ate some chocolate.
A great way to end a night. Except when you realize you have to go to work tomorrow.... I hate that part.

On the agenda this week:
Getting ready for car wash (again more on this later)
Getting work on the straight and narrow
Volleyball open gym
Continuing my cell phone education program

Here is to another Monday.

TGIF

My goodness work has been crazy. This week has been really busy.
I have been going, going, going, gone.

I'm so happy it's Friday.
The only thing to make this weekend sweeter is if I changed my phone number.
That was my biggest mistake to give the boss man and his wife my phone number.
AHHH They call ALL.THE.TIME.

I think I'm going to screen my calls and when they ask where I went I will tell them deep sea fishing in Africa.

On a better note:
My plans for the weekend? Nothing! And it's so wonderful.
I'm going to lay outside! Eat Ice Cream! Lay Outside! Make Sun Tea! Eat Ice Cream!
seriously this is what I have planned for this weekend and I couldn't be happier.

Volleyball Camp

Oh how I miss the days where I could sit on my can all summer long and eat whatever I like. Including Ice Cream once a day sometimes twice a day.

I miss the days where I could literally do nothing and go to the gym to play a little volleyball and be just fine.
Sure I would be tired but I could jump forever, I could still hit the ball hard, I could go on for hours and hours of volleyball and be just fine.

Those days are over. Those days are long gone.

Now I must train and work out and try like hell to get my butt in shape.
Oh lord how I miss being so young and agile. I miss being able to bounce back so quickly.

I miss being quick.

Yesterday at camp I went through a couple drills, immediately after I had to sit down, breathe, drink some water and eat some food to revive myself.
I think I may need to start working out again now so I'm in shape for the volleyball tournament in July.

This Time Last Year....

I was moving cows.

I had so much fun moving cows.

There is something so free about being on the back of your horse.
There are no cell phones, no cars, no busy noise.
The only noise are the cows calling for their calves, the cowboys talking to their dogs, to their horses, and the occasional "whooping" noise to keep the cows moving.

Have you ever been on your horse and just listened to the cows calling each other, it's very calming almost therapeutic. It's something I wish I could hear more often.

When I was on my horse moving cows I felt peaceful like I had found an old friend again.
It is a fond memory I have on the ranch. Moving cows, riding my horse, spending time with someone you care about all day. It's something I think about often as the weather warms up.

That's what I love about the Ranch life, there is always something to do, here there are plenty of opportunities to spend time outside and with family.

Then reality hits and you have to get a job, you have to always be busy.
To busy to really enjoy the things you love in life.
If I had all the money in the world I would quit my job, except coaching. That isn't a job to me it's fun, it's something I've always wanted to do.

I would slow down and enjoy the things I love.

Weekend Recap

Friday- I went home early, I released myself from work with my self diagnosis of grumpitis and cramps.
I went home and ate some pasta salad and took a much needed nap on the couch.
Later that night I went to the movie "UP"
Believe it or not but that was my first 3-D movie ever! It was pretty cool, and I got to keep the glasses!
The movie was good, at first it was a little sad but the middle and ending were really good. And you get a sweet pair of glasses.

Saturday- it snowed. Enough said.
I had to put bags over my plants, I didn't want them to freeze.
I went to some friends later that night and made dinner.
Came home and went to bed.

Sunday- I slept in till 9:00 cleaned the house, swept, mopped, vacuumed, did dishes, the house is spotless. Until tonight of course. I made spaghetti for dinner.
Went to bed.

This week is the Volleyball Camp.
It goes from 2:00 to 9:00 for the rest of the week.
I'm excited for the camp. Not excited to get home late all week.

Here is too another Monday, another day another month another hour.
Lordy are things boring right now.

My Weekend

Remember I mentioned I got my hair cut and highlighted?

I've never really done this to my hair before, but I figured what the heck "Change is Good"

This is now what my hair looks like. I like it but I don't think I have caught the blond fever like my sister has!

This past weekend was my sister's graduation. I faced the day with a smile and a very dry sense of humor. I knew I was going to need it when I was asked tons of questions.
And not to mention during the graduation, My Dad was sad his last child was graduating. I even wore a dress.
It was green and pretty, pretty awesome!

Graduation was good, pretty short and sweet but My Lord was it HOT in that gym. I wish schools would invest in AC, it would serve the community well especially during events like graduation. My parents held my Sister's grad party at the house. We ate burgers, salad, chips and dip. I made the desert (like always) all in all it was a great day and a great turnout.

To end the night we had a little camp fire and roasted marshmallow's.
That is my Nephew, always worried about his hair and girls. He has already passed My Mom and Sister in height, but much to his dismay he still has a while before he will catch me!

I'm secretly praying I will keep growing just to compete with him!

The next day, I packed my bags said my goodbye's and headed home.
It was a nice day, my only complain was I was held up at Rodger's pass with road construction. However my little set back allowed me to have this quick scenic photo shoot with my phone!

Mondays just suck

Yesterday was Monday, as I'm sure you are all aware, Monday's suck.

My Monday was a little different from the usual suck.
While I was at work, the boss man's kids came into the office.

Kids: "Can you move your truck? Dad said we can ride 4 wheelers."
Me: "sure, let me just finish this phone call"

So I move my truck and then get on with my day.
3:00 rolls around and I realize "Shoot, I still need to get the mail."

I walk outside to grab the mail, as I'm walking by my truck I look over and realize "Wait a minute!" "What the HELL." "Are you KIDDING me?"

The little brats hit my truck with the 4 wheelers.

(Which I know accidents happen, but what really pisses me off is they DIDN'T tell me, they didn't say anything to anyone.)
So I had to go to the boss man and say "Hey, one of your kids hit my truck with the 4 wheeler"

He said to get an estimate. (These people had better pay for it, they had better not try to jerk me around.)

There were no "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry."
The kids still haven't said anything to me which is rude.

I wish I could find another job, this job is horrible.
