Vacation is just around the corner!!

I haven't had too much going on lately but I'm bored and Terry's sleeping so I thought I would update a lil....well Terry's working at a new job...Chisholm Corner here in Marlow. I think he really likes it a lot...he's working graveyard shift but he normally stays up that late anyways so it's not a huge adjustment for him. I have officially passed the halfway mark (and then some) on my book goal....I'm currently done with 26 books! YAY! I can't believe that I've read that many books in like less than 2 months! Craziness!! Um....I'm still feeling sad without a pool for my yard...but it's been too rainy and cloudy this week to swim so that's helping and i went swimming this weekend at the lake and got my tan on! lol....I'm at least back to my color I was a few weeks ago....I was fading and fast! lol....I'm so excited for my vacation....it's 4 weeks from Monday! I'm going to my mom's that week to hang out with her and i think me and Terry might go to the city one night and hang out....I'm super excited!!!!! So tomorrow is Mandy's last day at work before her week and a couple days of vacation starts...it's not going to be the same without her! (for one, now I'll have to do her work lol....and two it will be a lot quieter on our side of the bank...) but it's fine cause she'll be back a week from this coming tuesday....and then 2 weeks later (minus one day) my vacation starts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can't tell, I'm looking forward to my much needed week!! Well that's about all I can think of other than I started my blog about my feet pics if anyone wants to check it out! It's travel-gena.blogspot.com! Add me to your list!!

Forever....and a day

So it feels to me like I haven't been on this thing in a really long time and it's about time for an update....so I mentioned in my last blog that I had a few goals I had decided to work on...here's an update on those...

• Exercise-well I have still yet to restart my program...just been feeling lazy and well basically I'm not ready for the commitment yet...lol
• Library-I mentioned that I was going to try to get books from the library soon...well I have twice now...and I am now officially a card carrying member!! I'm totally excited...(and I think that makes me a nerd! lol but I don't care!!)
• My 50 book goal-I feel like I'm doing great with this goal..as you may or may not know, I just started this goal around the middle of June...and I am currently finished with 15 books and I'm halfway through another and a quarter of the way through with one more lol and these are real books too....not little kid ones lol...although I may read some I'm not going to count them for the goal
• My hair-I'm learning to live with it...and it kinda goes into a ponytail now...it will stay most of the day but sometimes the front pieces are too short n it falls out...
• So this one isn't really a goal but I like using the bullet points...makes me feel important so I think for the rest of this blog I will use them! (plus it makes me look like I have a lot of goals if you don't read this far! LOL)
  
• My pool-oh so sad...it's days are numbered I'm afraid....it has now sprung leak #2 (and possibly more) I can't find the new leaks but it's on the bottom ring so the pool deflates and now it's probably about 3 or MAYBE 4 inches deep basically I can lay on the bottom of the pool and tan since most of my body isn't in the water and my head can't go under anymore...oh and yes it's a kiddie pool but it was past the knees when it wasn't leaky...sniffle sniffle

• my tan--despite the set back of my pool which I realized yesterday..I'm still working on my tan....for those of you who know me...you realize that when I say I'm tan...you may not can tell and think I'm still as white as can be...well let me tell you...lol....I am now darker this summer than I have been in probably more than 7-10 years...if not longer than that...actually...this may be the tannest I have ever been! lol so I'm really proud of me for that! YAY ME!
• There is another goal that I have been working on that I will say (for my own records) that I have been doing very well with lately...it's a personal goal that I am actually not sharing but I feel like it's been going pretty good and I've been proud of myself for that! go me!
• I am now going to set a new goal...or hobby maybe....so I've decided I want to start scrapbooking! I have no stuff to do it with yet and I'm trying to decide what all I want to buy for it....I think I wanna make 3 wedding ones...one for me, one for my parents, and one for Terry's mom....then I wanna make some fun ones and finish the one I started in high school from when I was a kid and stuff...so hopefully i will have enough funds to start this new thing...wish me luck with it..I'm not the most creative grape in the bunch! LOL
• I almost forgot...my cupcakes for the 4th of July were amazing if I do say so myself....They were red, white, n blue with chocolate frosting and blue sprinkles for a lil flair! LOL
• Terry and I also have bought a new set of silicone bake ware and have been baking with them a lot recently...love em...I made a marble fudge cake with chocolate frosting the other day...it was delish...I was a lil off center when I stacked them but it's me so what do you expect? lol
• The 4th of July was fun too....well part of it was really lonely since I was by myself all evening....the fireworks got cancelled here because we got rained out..and when I say rain I mean torrential downpour! Our street flooded up over the curbs in probably less that five minutes...I could've swam in the street...lol...hey it was deeper than my pool is now! LOL but they rescheduled them for Sunday (which was the next night) and my parents came and watched them with me! It was actually the worst one I 've seen in a long time...it was supposed to be bigger n better and like douple the fireworks (and our town always does a ton anyways!) but the rain ruined part of them since it didn't start raining unitl like 2 hours before the fireworks should've started that night lol...but it was still fun none the less....here's a pic of them!
  

Well this is about all I can come up with today other than I'm feeling lonely lately since my bestie hasn't had much time for me....lol...I know you're busy or I'm busy and we haven't been free the same weekends lately! lol Just know I love ya and miss ya and hopefully this not seeing each other stuff will stop soon or I'm gonna go crazy!

Blah, blah, and more blah! LOL

So I know I know...I talked about my hair yesterday but I'm not going to keep it long today (about the hair anyways lol) I just wanna post a pic of it....
Hmm...well what else...well I'm doing good on my book goal....I finished another one last night and I"m half way through the next. Right now I'm reading "The Secret Life of Bees". A girl I used to work with brought us a big stack of books a couple weeks ago and that's basically where this challenge sprung from. I've read all but this one of the stack she gave us. I'm gonna try to go to the library tomorrow and get some more books so I can keep on reading! I'm almost out of stuff. I'll probably finish this book before I go to bed tonight. I'm feeling pretty miserable right now cause Terry talked me into eating Golden Corral a little bit ago and now I'm STUFFED!!! UGH! And I was going to start exercising again today but I'm too full right now so looks like I'll have to try again tomorrow more than likely! lol....I doubt I get to wanting to tonight now! LOL plus we just got another movie in from netflix in the mail today so we'll probably watch it tonight. I guess this is basically all my ramblings for the day today....and until next time....happy reading!
