So, I am home from my Thanksgiving trip back to Chickasha. Unfortunately, I am writing in blue........yes, because I am blue.
I do not regret my move to Hays at all. And, this weekend just helped reassure me that I made the right decision. I do miss my mom and other family but when my own brother and his wife don't say 3 words to me the whole 4 hours we are together.......that kind of bothers me. I don't know what I did other than move away. And then, I have people that I considered friends and I guess I should have known better. They won't stay in touch with me but they sure like to comment about the way I feel about things. They ask me for recipes or other things and then I hear nothing from them. Friends?? I guess I was wrong.
I feel bad for my dad's girlfriend because she thinks my brother and I not really speaking is her fault and it's not (that I know of). Every time she tries to ask them about it they say I left because I wanted to "be left alone." I never said that and if I did they are taking it out of context. Quit using it as an EXCUSE!! I am tired of people making me feel bad for choosing what I want to do! Why can't they be like my father-in-law? He commented that it looked like we were having a lot of fun here in Hays. He's right!! Why do they have to try and bring it down? I hate that I made that trip to be ignored and made to feel like I was an outcast by members of my own family. And, the reason my grandmother wouldn't let dad's girlfriend make Rusty and I a plate of Thanksgiving food but let everyone else..............I have no earthly idea. I know she would rather let her prized grandson have it so maybe there wasn't much to give out?? I don't know. I feel like I am being punished for doing something my husband and I were going to do eventually anyway. Is there a rule that really says once you live in Chickasha you must stay there until your dying day?
I hate that I let it bother me. I hate that I let the people I thought were my friends make me mad and then make me so angry that I cry. They want to think I am miserable just because I was ready to come home to Hays, then they can go ahead and think it. I was miserable because I wasn't sleeping good and the drive was long for just a few hours with the people I love. I know a little is better than none but I would much rather spend a weekend with each family than run the rat race. It just wasn't worth it. When someone felt the need to be smart and comment to just stay home.......well, that's right! We are staying home for Christmas. Not because of any of this. But, I will sure not lose any sleep over it now.
I am just rambling now. I hate that I let them keep me from enjoying my Sunday evening at home with my husband. I really wanted to put Christmas decorations up tonight. We were just too tired though. I had to do laundry too! So, I'm waiting for that to get done and then probably go to bed. I just hate that I ended this long weekend on a bad note. That's my family......................and I can pretty much count on it every time.

Friday Night
Ok, so I couldn't blog last night since I didn't have internet. I thought I was gonna die....d-i-e! LOL! Just kidding. I was so tired after the LONG ass drive (seemed forever) and after the awesome dinner Jeanne made! I ate so much I felt sick! So, I am at mom's now.......waiting for some quality time. It's just different now. Anyway, not gonna go there.
Ok, gonna wait until later and hopefully get to blog tonight!!
Can't wait to get home!

Happy Thanksgiving!
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving Day! I got to bed around 11:30 last night. Didn't take me too long to get the stuff made that I needed to make. I got up in time for the parade, which Rusty said started at 9:00. Come to find out, it started at 8:00! Oh well, I tried. I got all our food ready to go and we enjoyed a nice lunch followed by a nice nap! LOL! Kind of nice being here at home and eating lunch in my jammies!
After my long nap I had to get ready to go to the Moore's for Thanksgiving. It was a big one with the Werth side of the family. They are so welcoming and so friendly. It was like we were just another relative. I love sitting there and listening to Grandma and Grandpa Werth's German accents. Their grandson, Josh, had just been ordained a Catholic Deacon so we looked at some pictures of that. I got to see my two favorite kiddos, Georgia and Jett, and also got to see some other cute ones! Curtis and Staci got there kind of late so we ended up staying until 9:00 with them! We were one of the two last couples to leave and it wasn't even our true family! LOL! My banana pudding and cheeseball were a hit! Yeah! Looks like I will be making that for them each year. I like it.............gives me a reason to get in there and bake some stuff! I am already looking forward to the baking of the holiday season!
Well, along with my friend Andrea I will list a FEW of the things that I am thankful for.
1. My husband
2. At this time, friends who ARE family
3. Health
4. Food that nourishes our bodies (not everyone got to have a meal like we did)
5. My furbabies!!
6. The ability to live our lives the way we want.....no regrets and allowing nothing and no one to hold us back from what we want or think we want.
7. I can't forget to mention the new friendships I have gained since moving back to Hays and also the ones I have rekindled.
I am truly blessed. I know I have my family back home, I have many wonderful friends and "family" here, and we both have jobs that help us survive in this joke we call the economy.
Hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend and stay safe!

I Shouldn't Have....................................
sat on my ass all evening.
It is now 9:45 and we just got finished watching two episodes of Grey's that we had DVR'd. And, now, I must get to the kitchen and make the following...........
deviled eggs
banana pudding
cheese-ball
I thought there was something else, but I can't remember at the moment. So, that's why I am blogging now........I won't feel like it when I am done! I want to sleep in tomorrow, but I need to get up and start Rusty's roast! I bought a turkey breast for myself. I am also going to make candied yams, dressing, rice, and dinner rolls. I think that's it????
Then, after much persuasion and a call from the momma, we will be going to the Moore's for dinner. I love them all very much and look forward to it but still feel as though we are imposing. I feel as though it is out of "sorrow" that we aren't with our own families, but I know that is also not the case. Their home has been open to friends for as long as I can remember. I also feel that they are family and they have been for many years, longer than I have known my husband. So, babe, that means you are family too!
I gotta get to cooking. I really need a DP and I won't have one! Sure sounds good though.
Have a great Turkey day!

The Big D, and I Don't Mean Dallas
I lay in bed at 4:00 this morning thinking about the upcoming weekend. We will be traveling to Oklahoma to see our families for the Thanksgiving holiday. Even though we won't be there on the actual day at least we get to go home to see them on the weekend. These thoughts of the wonderful holiday season are what lead me to the D word...............Divorce.
Isn't it sad that I think of that during the best times of the year? Well here's why. The trip home to Oklahoma is 6 hours one way. We get to leave around noon (hopefully) on Friday. Spend 6 hours on the road and arrive at my father-in-laws around 6:00. We will have a wonderful homemade Thanksgiving supper then spend with them what time we can cram in before bed. We then get up the next morning and go to my dads. We spend a little time there before we head to my grandmother's for a leftover Thanksgiving dinner. Shortly after that we will head to Rusty's grandmother's to spend time with her and his mother. After a brief afternoon visit there we will head to my mothers for supper. We will then go to bed decently early so we can get up and make the six hour trip home and prepare for the upcoming week.
My point................twelve hours on the road and only ONE full day. I know my dad is gonna be upset when we don't spend much time with him, as other family will want more time also but when is it ever fair? When both sets of parents are divorced that kind of makes it difficult. Four different families to visit in 1 1/2 days is tough! Someone is bound to get their feelings hurt or be selfish about it and I can probably place a bet on who!! LOL!
So, I am going to try and enjoy the rest of the week. I am not looking forward to Beloit tomorrow just because satellite always wears me out! But, I made a cheese-ball tonight to take to work tomorrow for my co-workers cause they are awesome! Thursday will be a day to ourselves. Rusty wants a roast and I want the traditional, so we will work it out and have the best of both worlds! I will find me some turkey somehow. I am going to make a cheese-ball and banana pudding for the Moore's because I think they are just fan-damn-tastic and I love 'em!
I will let this do. I am hoping that our trip isn't too stressful and it is enjoyable. I know parts of it will be great but sometimes I wonder about the others. If you knew my family, you'd know what I was talking about!
Have a great week and look forward to that dressing, deviled eggs, candied yams, and pumpkin pie! Eat some for me! I won't be going all out just for the two of us!

Make It Stop!
I woke up this morning and was upset with the amount of pain I dealt with throughout the night. I would sleep so good, then need to re-adjust and each time it hurt. I hate that and it made it hard to enjoy what relaxation I was getting by being jolted awake by pain! UGH!
So, I noticed on my way to work that I kept getting a little dizzy when I turned my head or moved around. A little annoying, but I can hack it. The day was weird but we got to order lunch out for someone's birthday so that helped! LOL! Momma love her some Chinese! Anyway, at lunch I finally got a hold of the person at the Kansas State Department of Teacher Licensing that had been trying to get ahold of me. Turns out apparently Kansas doesn't need teachers THAT bad! If I don't show to their "appeal" hearing on December 5th I will have to go through their WHOLE program though an accredited college. It's a stinking 3 year program. So, they want me to take a day off from work, at a job I just started, drive 4 hours and spend 15-30 minutes with a group of people explaining why I should be allowed to teach. Is the bachelors in Biology/minor in Chemistry and 3+ years of teaching not enough?? Geez! Like I said, doesn't look like they need or WANT teachers as bad as they say. My response...............WTF?????!!!!!?????? Unfortunately, I let that ruin my day. I am guessing that the dizziness and fever like feeling all day didn't help either.
So, I came home and put my pj's on and am relaxing. I think I am gonna shower and then do a little reading. That is my favorite! I have (barely) started "The Last Summer". I took my friend Becca the book "Blaze" that I had just finished. I told her I would be her personal library! LOL!
I am worried about my friend Andrea and I hope she just takes it easy and lets everything take its course the way it is intended to! There is a reason for everything! Don't you dare let her know I worry about her! I already rub her shoulders and I said if I ever make anyone moan like that I should get paid! LOL! I wish I could rub my own cause I know I do a pretty darn good job! And Andrea, a sad princess is no fun to be around so be happy!
Ok, I think that's it. Gonna see if I can sway my hubby into one of those nice little shoulder rubs. I'm not holding my breath.
Here's to one down and only two to go!

Ah man, it's already Sunday night!
Poop, that's what I think about it being Sunday night already so I am using brown!
Today was a pretty uneventful day. Well, as in fun stuff. I got up and cleaned the house and Rusty started laundry. Thanks babe. I didn't run and get a DP first thing either! Yeah for me. I finished cleaning and then sat on the couch for a bit. I think the no caffeine started to hit me cause I felt kind of like poop. Anyway, after I sat for a bit and cat-napped for a bit I decided I would go to Wal-Mart. I wasn't going to but Rusty needed sugar for tea and he CAN NOT go without his tea. I don't blame him. That's how I felt about my DP. Still do, but I am sucking it up! Just got up to make me some chocolate chip cookies.......slap my hand, I'm a bad girl! So, back on track. I went to Wal-Mart, which was a mad house, and picked up a few things for Thanksgiving. Just a few since we will be spending the actual day alone this year. Rusty wants roast, so I guess I will make that with the other traditional trimmings. I'll have some chicken with the chicken and dressing. I can't wait for deviled eggs, yummy!! So, got home from Wally World and made dinner, did dishes, took care of my nails, showered, and here I am. Too late for cookies, need to be in bed, but you only live once right.
I finished my book last night. Tonight I will work on my November Oprah mag so I can get it to Leigh then I am going to start "The Last Summer" by Anne Brashears. It's in the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series. Did I mention I LOVE reading!?!?!?!? The characters are how I want them to be and my "movie" in my mind lasts for several days if not a couple weeks! It's the best! Rusty hates that I read in bed though. That's the best time for me! Except that it keeps me up late. It is my relaxation tool though. All right, I think I'll let that do. Got my mind on reading now! LOL
Here's to the week ahead.........oh, I just remembered I only have to work 3 days this week! Woo hoo! Except..................Wednesday is Beloit satellite clinic which makes for a loooooooooong day.
Wishing you all a good week ahead!

Ahhhhhhhhh, geocaching!
I'm feeling green with all the outdoor-ness I endured today!
I didn't get out of bed until almost 11:30! I was conked out and slept so good. And that's not too bad since Rusty didn't get out of bed until 10:30. That is way unusual! OMG....just found out my father-in-law reads this. I will still try to keep it real! LOL! Love ya Gene!
Anways...................
Got outta bed late but then we went geocaching. It was really pretty nice today. We went to Cedar Bluff and took Marley with us since I figured there wouldn't be many people around. She had a blast!!!!!! If you have my Facebook go check out the pics! Here are a few.....
Marley and Momma
Daddy and Marley
And the cutest damn pic of all!
The whole fam at Cedar Bluff
Ok, so there are a couple pics for your viewing pleasure. I was on a role finding the cache's but then I kind of peetered out. We did a lot of rough ones today! It was definitely good exercise. We even jogged a bit. Yeah, ME jogging! LOL! Not for long, but I did it! So the last ones we stopped at were close to dusk and it got cold quick. Marley Sue saw her first deer tonight. She was a little intrigued. Then we saw several when we got to the top of a hill. So, that was our Saturday and it was pretty darn fun. I got a little chilly a couple of times but that was it. Overall it was pretty nice. I definitely need some boots to wear. Tennis shoes just don't cut it for climbing rocks and climbing up and down hills with loose rock and gravel. Plus, I need my ankles and calves protected! I keep getting battle wounds! Oh well, they are worth it!
I am looking forward to getting some pictures ordered soon. Can't wait to post those too! Well, at least some of them. I am still working out and going to the gym. This is the first day I haven't gone all week but I still got a hell of a work out today. I am planning to go tomorrow but I have to clean our filthy house! It's so damn small it won't take long though! I would give anything for a second bathroom! If we ever buy a house again that's a MUST have!
Ok, I am rambling now and someone is reading over my shoulder. Kinda erks me...........even though he can read it later anyway. He's just jealous of my typing skills........................LMAO!! NOT! He helps with my typos!
With Love,
tara tara bo bara banana fana fo fara me my mo mara.....Tara!

Twilight!
Ok, it's after midnight on Friday so this is sitll considered my Friday blog but will show up as Saturday! The reason I am writing so late is because we went and watched Twilight in the theater! More on that in a bit.
Today was kuh-raz-ee at work. There were 3 of us there this morning (one called in) and it went pretty smooth. The only thing is one had to leave after lunch due to overtime. That left two of us. Would have been great if neither one had to scribe. We did as much as we possibly could to help ensure we weren't needed in the exam rooms but that still wasn't enough. Sometimes I feel so awful because I know they are running their tails off checking in and I am sitting in the exam room listening to "blah, blah, blah......". I don't mind scribing and listening to all that jazz, but if I could be better utilized elsewhere bring it on. I am a worker. I like to stay busy and I like to be beneficial. I also like to please the people I work for. Not necessarily brown nosing, but being addicted to pleasing people. We did get told twice today that we did a good job and even once it was from the doc! Take it when you can get it Andrea!
I got off work at 4:30 thanks to the dynamic duo kicking ass. Ok, you guys are laughing right now. So, anyway, I got to the gym early and I was glad! I did the stairstepper for 15 minutes and raised my intensity level, did the treadmill for 30 minutes while I read and then sat in the sauna for 30 mintes. It was a good gym visit! I also only had one Dr. Pepper throughout the day and two bottles of water. Of course, with dinner I had a pop and at the movie with my popcorn. I would bet that I went without about 3 cans of DP today compared to normal.
After that I came home and my hubby took me out for a night on the town! We went and tried JD's Chicken (once might be enough on that one) and then we went to the mall (found a new store we like) and then we went to Twilight. It was freaking crazy. There were probably 100-150 people standing in the lobby with us. It was actually quite miserable. The movie was (don't worry, I'm not gonna ruin it) worth the wait I thought. I do suggest reading the book first! Books are always better than the movies!
Ok, I am beat! Rusty wants to geocache tomorrow..........it's gonna be cold and I don't like that! But I like to find them before him so I may have to go and get out of the vehicle! I am gonna go to bed and get as warm as possible before my cold day tomorrow!
Yeah for weekends!

Take it when you can get it Andrea!
I got off work at 4:30 thanks to the dynamic duo kicking ass. Ok, you guys are laughing right now. So, anyway, I got to the gym early and I was glad! I did the stairstepper for 15 minutes and raised my intensity level, did the treadmill for 30 minutes while I read and then sat in the sauna for 30 mintes. It was a good gym visit! I also only had one Dr. Pepper throughout the day and two bottles of water. Of course, with dinner I had a pop and at the movie with my popcorn. I would bet that I went without about 3 cans of DP today compared to normal.
After that I came home and my hubby took me out for a night on the town! We went and tried JD's Chicken (once might be enough on that one) and then we went to the mall (found a new store we like) and then we went to Twilight. It was freaking crazy. There were probably 100-150 people standing in the lobby with us. It was actually quite miserable. The movie was (don't worry, I'm not gonna ruin it) worth the wait I thought. I do suggest reading the book first! Books are always better than the movies!
Ok, I am beat! Rusty wants to geocache tomorrow..........it's gonna be cold and I don't like that! But I like to find them before him so I may have to go and get out of the vehicle! I am gonna go to bed and get as warm as possible before my cold day tomorrow!
Yeah for weekends!

It's Before 9:00!!!
I am going a little out of my normal routine to get this out before 9:00! So, I haven't checked my MySpace and Facebook yet!
Holy moly, what a day. I scribed all day and that wears my ass out. At least when you check patients in you get a lull to go pee or get a drink! Oh well, I busted my bootie and tried to stay upbeat.
After work I went to the gym and did a little extra today! I did the stair stepper, the treadmill, some weights and then the sauna for 30 minutes. I love that damn sauna. I don't sweat easily and going in there makes me feel like I am getting rid of my toxins. I sat with my head hanging and watched the sweat drip off of me. My clothes were soaked. Sounds gross but it is sooooo relaxing! I got home and finally got to eat rice a roni and hamburger meat. Bland, but I love it! I didn't buy any dr. pepper at the store last night so I haven't had any since I been home. I think it is making a big difference cause I am already really sleepy! May go to bed in a bit and read.
Twilight (the movie) comes out this weekend and I am so excited. I am afraid it will be all sold out or just too damn crowded with teens to go. All four books of the "Twilight" series are amazing and leave you wanting more each time. I feel like a little teenage girl liking them so much! If you haven't read them, give them a try. "Host" by Stephanie Myer is also very good. It takes a little getting into because it is kind of confusing, but it's worth it! I am currently reading "Blaze" by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) and then I have three more books waiting in the wings........................."The Year of Living Biblically", "The Last Summer", and "Just After Sunset". Of course that's not ALL the books I have to read but I imagine those will come first. There's this new little gizmo called a "Kendall" by Amazon.com, and Sony has one too, that you download books to. You can take like 14 books with you wherever you go! And, it fits right in your purse. I wouldn't mind having one but they are around $300. Never hurts to dream! I would much rather have my paraffin bath than that right now!
Well, I think that's about it. If the damn cat wakes us up again at 5 in the morning Rusty isn't going to be a happy camper, and I don't appreciate it either. I guess I am a little better with it. I treat him like a child that wakes up and I just have to get him to go back to sleep. It really doesn't make me angry or upset, it just frustrates me. Maybe I would be a good mom after all!
Tomorrow's Friday girls.....................I know you'll miss me over the weekend.

Ahhh, and here's tonights!
Been a long time since I blogged, eh? Ha Ha
Today was a little crazy at work. Too many chiefs and not enough indians. I rolled my eyes so many damn times I think they are stuck in the top of my freaking head. I also think "are you f*c*ing kidding me" went through my mind a zillion times.
Nuff said.
When I came by the house on the way to the gym I saw Rusty's truck home and the garage door open. I figured I forgot something or something had changed so I pulled in. I forgot he was on call and that he wasn't going to the gym. I decided I wasn't going to go since I wanted to go to Wal-Mart. Well, I nixed that idea and took my ass to the gym. Go me! I didn't stay long but I did the stairstepper and some lifting. I didn't want to get too sweaty because my friends Staci and Curtis were coming by! I hadn't seen them in forever and they live less than a mile away! LOL!
We had no plans to go out to dinner but that quickly changed. We went to Applebee's and I had a steak and veggies. I was proud of myself cause I had thought about getting chicken fingers....all fried. I did have some fries but I didn't eat them all and I didn't drink but half of my Dr. Pepper!
We had a great time with Staci and Curtis and I realize how much I have missed hanging out with them.
After supper Rusty and I went to Wal-Mart. I needed water and some vegetables. Rusty needed Coke and some ice cream. ;o) I am sure I will have some of the ice cream but I didn't buy any Dr. Pepper. I have GOT to stick to not buying any for the house. With the recent realizations in my appearance I really need to stick with this. I am not a vanilla Coke person, so I should be fine there. Now, as for the ice cream...............that's another story!
Until tomorrow my dear followers..........

This is for yesterday!
First of all, sorry that this is so late Andrea!!
Last night was our Biggest Loser night. Each Tuesday we have a couple that we take turns cooking with and watching the Biggest Loser. Well, last night was Renee's turn. She said we were having beans and I really like beans. I figured some good ole' pinto's or something. Come to find out they are Northern Beans. Rusty took one bite and said I wasn't making my kind of beans ever again. From now on it would be these! LOL! They were very good and I can't wait to make them myself. I was dissapointed that Vicki didn't get kicked off last night. Anyone with that amount of negativity should just go home instead of spreading it around. I got home a little after 9:00 and did all my on line stuff then hit the sack to get some reading done.
I guess Andrea is rubbing off on me. I keep waking up at 5:30. Granted it is to pee, but still! Stop it! 'Cause once I get up the dog wants out, the cat wants to play, and I am freezing my ass off!
Ok, that was last night....................................

I forgot to blog last night!
I chose this color because, well, I'm feeling a little *blue* today.
I forgot to blog last night. I went to the gym after work, came home and made dinner, showered and then looked at the pictures that we took on Sunday. Andrea did a great job! So, needless to say it was way late by the time I got finished with all of my routine on-line stuff, plus the pictures, that I HAD to go to bed! I have to read in bed too! So, it was at 5 this morning that I remembered I didn't blog last night and that's all I could think about.
Last night as I looked at the pictures that Andrea did a great job on, I found myself wondering exactly who that girl was in those pictures. I am not being sarcastic and I am NOT looking for condolences.....I merely HAVE to talk about this somewhere and I don't want to talk to anyone because I will cry. I was on the verge of tears most of the day today.
I seriously wonder what happened to me. A picture is worth a thousand words but these left me speechless....and a little depressed. Ok, not a little but a lot.
I remember about a year ago in December I was sitting on the couch eating one of those fattening Hostess Cherry Pie things (damn that sounds good) and I looked at Rusty and said "I know I have to stop". I knew what was happening. I had quit smoking in October and I guess I did start eating to make up for it. Well, that is finally all catching up with me and the pictures just put it in perspective. They really brought out the me and I mean ALL of me. Please don't get me wrong, I am not upset with the pictures. No one can do anything about what I am unhappy about. Only me. I stood at the counter in Casey's today looking at the cigarettes. Not the way to go but I won't lie that it crossed my mind.
I am trying and it is difficult. I love food. I love to eat. And when I get depressed that's what I want to do....eat. I do go to the gym but that is hard too. My back limits me a lot and I don't know what to do about it. Rusty was trying to figure out what was wrong with me today and I said I didn't want to talk about it because no one could do anything about it. He asked (sympathetically) if I was hurting...............since when did he become concerned about that? Not trying to be mean, but I hurt every damn day. No one seems to care unless I make a big deal out of it and that's not me. The times I do mention it I get the whole "what's new" attitude so I deal with it. I have dealt with it for over 10 years with everyone thinking I am just lying or being a wuss. Keep thinking it, whatever. It's wrong of me to wish that kind of pain on someone............but if it helped them to understand maybe I could. But it's not worth it. I will continue to have those mornings where trying to turn off the alarm clock brings tears to my eyes or bending to put my shoes on seems damn near impossible. Just keep thinking I am fine and that it's all "in my head". I've hurt this long, what's another 30-40 years right?
So, am I down in the dumps? Yep. Can anyone change it? Only me. I can't change my back issues, but I can change the weight issues. I know the changes I have to make and they won't be easy due to habits of others that are involved in my daily life. I have to step up to the plate if I want to make any changes.
So, no need to mention this post to me if you read it. No need to try and make me feel better. I simply needed to "bitch" and that I have done. This probably isn't the end of it, but that's what my blogging is for. I will continue to go to the gym and I will continue to try. I know I am not trying very hard right now........I'm just not sure how. I only know that I do not like how others see me. I don't like how I see myself either.
I am still super happy with where I am in my life, just not how I am. But right now, yeah, I have that piss off attitude.
Peace out my bitches.

It's an early one tonight, I'm beat.
Ok, so it's early tonight. I am tired, I guess from the pain I have felt since yesterday. I am doing pretty good right now.
I really, really wanted to sleep in this morning but that was nixed by my back. So, I got up and laid around until noon and then started getting ready for pictures today with Andrea. We met at Frontier Park and it was a gorgeous day. The only problem is that there was something like a Frisbee Golf tournament going on or something. They also acted like they OWNED the freaking park. I was a little peaved about that. I am hoping that the pictures turned out pretty good. I bet we at least got a couple that turned out! I can't wait to see them and that's my problem. I don't want to wait! LOL! I know I will just be disappointed in the way I look so at least we will have the good looking Rusty and Marley Sue to spruce them up!
We came home and I started laundry and suprisingly had a very short little cat nap which gave me a little second wind. I got up and got dinner going. I will have to say so myself, it was goooooood! I made ribeyes, baked potatoes, mac and cheese and dinner rolls. Yummy! I am still stuffed. Rusty and I did the dishes together, sat down and did some surfing and here I am.
So, that's it. Not even 8:00 and I am ready for bed. So relaxed, other than my back and neck hurting. What's new, right?
Thanks again to Andrea for taking our pics! I want to meet Reese again too!
I'll see you, my dear readers (all 2), tomorrow at work!

In Love With My Life
I guess I don't really feel like there is much to blog about tonight. Rusty got called out again today so I went and got the oil changed in his truck then went to the gym to work out....go me, yeah, go me. I sat in the sauna for a while after I worked out and it was awesome. Most people think it would be miserable since you are already sweating and stuff, but it felt so good. Especially on my skin! I lifted some weights when I got out then came home to take a shower. Rusty got home not too long after that.
We sat around and he did paperwork most of the afternoon and I played on line. I am addicted...there, I admitted it. We went to dinner at Gutch's with Leigh Ann and Casey and then drove around while we ate our ice cream. It was a good night.
So, now I am sitting here blogging and probably getting ready to go to bed. I have been watching my dog and cat play with each other and that makes me super happy. It also made me super happy when Casey asked Rusty if he missed Chickasha at all and he said nope. Yeah, I love my life. Jealous??

Lions and Tigers and Bears.......Oh My!
Yes, that's right. I'll get you anyway PeeWee. The Wizard of Oz is on. Who could NOT watch that?? Love, love, love that movie. You didn't have to go and hit me, did ya? I'm just a dande-Lion.
Well, it's Friday. I am glad. I slept really good last night. Probably a little thanks to the 3-4 margarita's I had. I went to lunch today with two new friends from work. That was fun. Except for the paint removal and such.....sorry Andrea, I had to mention it! LOL! Rusty still doesn't know. He will now! Damn Kansas wind. So, I got to leave work a little early due to overtime from satellite clinic. I felt bad leaving because we had picked up from all the add-on's BECCA. Hee hee. So, I ran to Wal-Mart to get baked potatoes to go with our ribeye's we were gonna have for dinner. After that I went to the gym and had a great work out. I got home and Rusty was still here waiting to get called out. So, he left not too long after I got home. So, I freshened up and went and ate Subway with Renee. Now I am home, playing on the internet (which makes me happy) and watching the Wizard of Oz (which makes me even happier).
Oh, you can't rest now, we're nearly there. Comin' to think of it.......40 winks wouldn't be bad.
I do want to say a big THANK YOU to Becca for her lovely comment on my last blog. Some people just don't understand the love of a pet. I have never had any children, so Pootie was the closest thing. He was the only "person" I had for several bad experiences in my life. Without him, I am not sure I would have survived. Thankfully I had my husband when Pootie's time came.
To the Emerald City as fast as lighting!
Speaking of the Wizard of Oz, when Rusty and I went to Chicago this past summer we got to see the musical "Wicked". OMG.....best damn live theatre show EVER! It was stinking awesome!
So, it's way earlier than 9:00 tonight. Rusty still isn't home and it's after 8:00. I just may be in bed by the time he gets here. You might think that's good, but I'll be sleeping. LOL!!! That was for you Andrea.
Oh yeah, I need to see "Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants 2" also! Can't wait for "Twilight" to come out next weekend. I am soooo freaking stoked! Ok, I am just rambling now. :o)
Have a great Friday night and thanks for stalking me!
Who rang that bell?? We did. Can't you read?............................Ok, I'll stop now!

Damn, it ain't even 9 p.m. yet!
Okay Andrea.........again I find myself doing something for you! LOL
Today wore my ass out again. I got a little frustrated, but no biggie. I am a big girl and wear big girl panties...................
Rusty and I decided to just walk the trail after work instead of the gym just 'cause I had a bad day and I just didn't want to be around people. So, we came home and got the Mah Sue (as in Mar Sue for Marley Sue) and hit the trail. We found a geocache that we couldn't before and didn't have anything to sign the damn log! After that we went to the mall and picked up some work boots for Rusty and then dropped Mah at home. We decided we would try Jalisco's since everyone raves about it. Rusty LOVED it, I would have preferred it be Quan's like when I worked there but wish in one hand and shit in the other huh??
We ordered a pitcher of strawberry margarita's and they were pretty damn good I suppose. I thought I was having a little spell getting dizzy then I remembered I was drinking! LOL! I was having a pretty decent time until Rusty asked if I had thought about what today was. Of course not, and how could I let myself forget. Today was my Pootie's birthday. As soon as he mentioned the date I knew. My smile went away and my eyes filled with tears. I controlled myself but that took over my mind. I miss my baby so much. There isn't a day go by that I wouldn't give all to have him here with me indefinitely. So my good buzz/drunk turned to a time of sadness.
We came home and I decided I was calling my mommy! LOL! So, we talked for a bit and then I checked e-mail. My sister-in-law sent me a pic of the display that she has put up for her dog they just had put to sleep two weeks ago. Well, that didn't help with my mood one bit! She was suffering something awful.....so it really is a blessing that they decided to stop it. So, there goes my good evening.
I am relaxed from the margarita's but sad from the memories. I know I am supposed to remember the good times and as Rusty said.........this is a day to celebrate. If it weren't for this day we wouldn't have ever had our Pootie. I know, I know. I'm selfish though and I want him back! So, in memory of my baby boy......................................................
Today wore my ass out again. I got a little frustrated, but no biggie. I am a big girl and wear big girl panties...................
Rusty and I decided to just walk the trail after work instead of the gym just 'cause I had a bad day and I just didn't want to be around people. So, we came home and got the Mah Sue (as in Mar Sue for Marley Sue) and hit the trail. We found a geocache that we couldn't before and didn't have anything to sign the damn log! After that we went to the mall and picked up some work boots for Rusty and then dropped Mah at home. We decided we would try Jalisco's since everyone raves about it. Rusty LOVED it, I would have preferred it be Quan's like when I worked there but wish in one hand and shit in the other huh??
We ordered a pitcher of strawberry margarita's and they were pretty damn good I suppose. I thought I was having a little spell getting dizzy then I remembered I was drinking! LOL! I was having a pretty decent time until Rusty asked if I had thought about what today was. Of course not, and how could I let myself forget. Today was my Pootie's birthday. As soon as he mentioned the date I knew. My smile went away and my eyes filled with tears. I controlled myself but that took over my mind. I miss my baby so much. There isn't a day go by that I wouldn't give all to have him here with me indefinitely. So my good buzz/drunk turned to a time of sadness.
We came home and I decided I was calling my mommy! LOL! So, we talked for a bit and then I checked e-mail. My sister-in-law sent me a pic of the display that she has put up for her dog they just had put to sleep two weeks ago. Well, that didn't help with my mood one bit! She was suffering something awful.....so it really is a blessing that they decided to stop it. So, there goes my good evening.
I am relaxed from the margarita's but sad from the memories. I know I am supposed to remember the good times and as Rusty said.........this is a day to celebrate. If it weren't for this day we wouldn't have ever had our Pootie. I know, I know. I'm selfish though and I want him back! So, in memory of my baby boy......................................................

3 Down, 2 To Go
Woo hoo!! Made it to Wednesday and after tomorrow it's Friday. Betcha didn't know that.
So, today was Beloit and it was actually pretty darn fun. Except for Becca's 80 mph driving. Dang! Lunch was pretty good and we laughed quite a bit. Becca, I'm gonna say "Wacko" and I want you to let me know how hard you are laughing when you read it!
I went to the gym after work like a good girl and worked my bootie off. Well, for me I worked my bootie off. Then I called Rusty to see if he wanted Subway for dinner and he wants Wendy's!! What the crap?? I have been at the gym working out and he picks a burger place. But I don't succumb.....I order a baked potato! So, for supper I had a small salad and a baked potato. I really wanted some warm chocolate chip cookies tonight but I didn't do it! Yeah for me!
I had promised that I would rant on the election and the behavior and comments of the American people.....but I still don't think it would be a good idea for me right now. I might start ranting and then really piss someone off!
So, looking forward to a quiet day tomorrow. Hope my gym workout helps me sleep good! I am glad I haven't snored so Rusty can rest but I sleep good when I snore!
Andrea, you should be super happy that I will be there tomorrow. You know, since I am the shizzle and all. LOL!

Ugh.............boring day and I'm still exhausted!
Well, another day of the week down. Tomorrow is hump day...Wednesday. If you can make it past that, you can survive the rest of the week! I have to go to Beloit tomorrow and I am kind of not looking forward to it. Since I am still new at the whole satellite thing it kind of wears me out worrying so much. Either way, I will survive and do my best!
Tonight was Biggest Loser/Dinner night with some friends. It was my turn to cook but I wanted to go to the mall and take advantage of some 50% off sweaters! Thankfully, Rusty took the reigns and got dinner started for me! He said he knew when I said "mall" that it would be a bit. Thank goodness for small miracles! This ordeal is usually a three hour affair so, on Tuesday nights my internet time is cut down so I kind of suffer! LOL! It's completely worth it to have time with friends.
I feel like I can barely keep my eyes open. I am glad that I feel this tired. I haven't slept good the last couple of nights..........hence the fact that I HAVEN'T snored those nights. Rusty said he's been sleeping good. Go figure!
All righty then.....I think I will let this do. I think I was gonna do some bitching about the behavior of others regarding the last election but I just am not up to it right now. Maybe I will bless you with my insight tomorrow night, if you're lucky. You might just be surprised at the type of bitching I'm gonna do.
Stay tuned dear followers.............all 2 of you! And, yes, I am thankful for you 2 that have chosen to follow my blurbs of nonsense.

Monday, Monday
Well, Monday has come and almost gone. It was a wierd one....weather was icky, yet I was okay with it. I guess I didn't feel like I had to get out and do stuff. We went straight to the gym after work and it felt good. I need to work a little harder, but at least I am going. The MP3 player really helps me to focus and get it done.
What else, what else??
I saw President Obama on TV at one point today and realized I now have a problem with him. I was okay until I saw he had on a Chicago White Sox hat. What the crap?? Cubbies all the way!! Not sure if I can handle a Sox fan for president when he is from Chicago, the home of the Cubbies! J/K...J/K
Listening to my new friend Andrea talk of her shopping trip is STILL making me jealous. I so want to go spend some moolah but don't want to end up grounded like someone else I know. ;o) Oh well. I will keep shopping in the ads I get in the paper and in my magazines I get in the mail and hopefully that will continue to hold me over. I will get to do a little shopping for Christmas soon. Speaking of Christmas, I could not believe my eyes when I saw we had received a Christmas card at work today. Hello??? We haven't even sliced the turkey yet. Hell, we haven't even bought it! Come on people, it's bad enough that retailers are shoving it down our throats this soon. Don't get me wrong. Christmas is my favorite holiday. It just has it's time to take place.
Well, now that I have myself thinking of putting up the Christmas tree and all that jazz I think I will sign off. Got some magazines to look through and "shop" my ghetto kind of shopping I do.
You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl.
I'll make like a weenie and beat it now. :o)

Ahhhhhh, Sunday
Wow, what a worthless damn day. Rusty said to mention the lazy momma, lazy daddy and the poutie Pootie. I said, "Whoa!!! poutie Pootie?????" He meant Marley. How dare he!! She is an awful lot like our baby boy though. Anywho...........
I made sure I found time to be lazy though. First thing I did was check on my MySpace and Facebook. Important things first ya know? Then the king asked for pancakes. We were out of mix so I, Tara Winsett, made homemade pancakes. Yep, stop the press and re-do your top story. They were pretty damn good too. After that we ended up on the couch for some good football watching. Rusty fell asleep but I couldn't. I laid on the couch for a while and let my back and neck start hurting pretty good. Then I got up and started taking care of some biz around the house. That's about damn it. Marley was pissed all freaking day. She wanted to do nothing but go geocaching. Every time we got near the door or looked like we were going to go somewhere she was ready. She's still pissed. Poor girl. She loves to geocache just like her momma and daddy.
Side note..............Plaxico, score some damn points! We just need 6!
Well, I guess that's about it. My neck still hurts like a mutha and I am sick of it. Might as well go to bed and let it hurt like a mutha.
Love my husband and my pets. Peace out!

Damn Geocaching!
Well, I really hoped that I would be going to Salina to shop with a friend today but that got nixed. So, what did I end up doing? Geocaching in the cold! It was pretty damn nipply around noon so I wasn't having much fun. Then, the afternoon seemed to get a bit better. I found some of the hard ones and it made me happy to beat Rusty! Hee, hee......evil wife! We went to one of the most unique caches this afternoon just north of Russell. It's called German Cave and it has the most beautiful view. That's the pics above. Mar got to go with us for the first few this morning and let me just put it this way.......she's conked out! All this geocaching has made me think though............
Geocaching is the perfect chance to get mugged, carjacked, robbed, or even killed. Seriously.....you pull over (sometimes in the middle of nowhere), get out, and don't pay a damn bit of attention to what is going on around you because you are focused on the find. Several times today I thought of how we left the vehicle running while we looked. Yeah, we were less than 30 feet away but still!! Hmmmmm.......maybe I could become a thief and get rich. Not a bad scheme. Just Kidding!!!!!!! Not about the dangerous aspect, but about the "second job".
Anyway, we had a pretty good day. Not as fun as spending a shitload of money I don't have, but it was pretty great. Now, tomorrow will be a different story. Laundry, straightening up, and so on. I'm sure I'll find a moment to be a lazy ass as well.
TTFN! (That's Ta Ta For Now according to Tigger)

Looking Forward to Sleeping In Tomorrow!
Boy am I glad it's Friday, and girl too. Ha
Today was a little weird since Andrea thought she had to go shopping all day. Can you tell I'm jealous?? I got to walk around Wal-Mart and dream of all the stuff I would like to buy. Does that count??
Rusty and I went to the movies tonight. We saw "Role Model" and it was VERY funny. Not too often do we laugh whole-heartedly out loud in the theater but this movie proved we are capable of it. I DO NOT recommend teenagers go see it. It was AWFUL.........but in this sick society it was stinking hilarious. I suggest adults with a good sense of humor go check it out.
Not sure what I am going to do this weekend. I should really keep my lazy ass at home and do things around the house and then make my lazy ass go to the gym for hours on end! I was good at the movie.............no popcorn or pop. And that's TOUGH for me! So, the gym I must go to. I wish the weather was going to be nice.........we'd go geocaching! Rusty is addicted............even paid for the premium membership on the geocaching.com website.
I am tired so I think I'll hit the sack. I hope I sleep as good as I did last night, but not so well again that I snore and keep my husband up. Not sure where the snoring is originating from but I have a few ideas. For one, mom mentioned that my stress level has probably dropped dramatically with the job change and I am sleeping the best I have in over 3 years and the other option is that my weight gain is effecting it. Just another reason to lose weight. Won't make it any easier........but it's another reason. Like I need one of those!
Ya know.............one way to lose weight would be to start smoking again. Not that I would, but damn it would work fast! LOL!
Wow, this is longer than I thought. I just might get addicted.....................................
Nighty Night!

So.........this is for Andrea
So, Andrea said I should blog. Never thought I would be a blogger, but since I am clearly addicted to the internet I will give it a whirl. I really doubt I will have many followers.........and that's okay. Side note...............waiting for Rusty to gag as he uses the Neti-Pot. Praise...........oops, said that too early! LOL!
I am beat. Work wore me out today and my cervical and thoracic vertebrae are all in a kink. If they wore panties I would say they had their panties in a wad! But what's new...........I am a habitual ball of pain.
Random thought.............I miss my Pootie.
Ok, I'm new at this and I know it sucks but I'm done for now.
Happy blogging.
