A Return

Ok so I took a little hiatus, in case you didn't notice. Life got crazy but I'm back now. So where to start? We had a crazy snow storm last week. Not a lot of snow but some massive drifts. One on the gravel road was about 8 feet tall. And the ones at home were pretty decent too. Pictures will follow soon, I promise.

I am working now. I love feeling like I'm helping people. I finish orientation this week (I started 3 weeks ago, have been in the clinich since the 2nd day, but I have 2 more days of orientation. Whatever).

Tomorrow is Valentine's day. In honor of it, I am dedicating a post to my special sweetheart today, my fiance and hubby-to-be Jaime.

Your Name
I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.

I also made my menu plan for this week.

Monday - sloppy joes, french fries, green beans
Tuesday - spaghetti, salad, garlic bread
Wednesday - leftovers
Thursday - tacoes, tator tots
Friday - (Tentative plan, depending on weather) hamburgers and hot dogs off the grill, baked beans, french fries

There hasn't been a lot of excitement lately but life is very very good. ☺

Snow Day

In case you are in part of the portion of the U.S. that wasn't hit with a blizzard and are blissfully unaware of the fact that any of us were, we were. It started here with sleet on Monday, turned into snow, and then later on yesterday the wind started blowing. The snow stopped sometime last night. We ended up with somewhere between 4 and 7 inches with drifts coming in anywhere from nonexistant up to 6 foot tall. It was interesting to say the least.

At this point, our gravel roads are drifted shut, again. We have more work to do on shoveling out the cars, but the temperature is suppose to be better tomorrow. I'll dress my munchkin up and let her play in the snow for a while and I'll keep on a shoveling.

I am still waiting to restart at my job. It's frustrating being kept waiting but what can I do about it. And so I'll spend the time cleaning, crocheting, and cooking. The 3 C's of my life. LOL

I also want to dig and search some for deals for the wedding.

Oh well. Coming soon to a blog near you -- shopping lists...

You'll understand when they come out...until then I think I'll just keep you in suspense.

The List

I can't ever seem to get anything done without making a list. Without a list I feel lost. I think of things to do and then I forget most of them by the time I get done with the first thing and then I sit down, just until I remember more, and then I lose all motivation. And so, I have made a list for today...

1. Dishes - included in this fun filled activity is actually doing the dishes, cleaning off the counters and table, clearing out the refrigerator and taking out the garbage.

2. Laundry - this is exactly what I said. The closets are still clean so I don't need to sort them. Yay!

3. Toys - My daughter has destroyed the living room yet again. I should have named her after a natural disaster.

4. Bedroom - trying to shove all the stuff for 2 people into a small room is difficult. However I will make yet another attempt to make it usable for both of us.

The bedroom really needs broken down into more lists....

a. laundry - gather, wash, dry, fold, put away
b. closet - put away all items on the floor
c. desk - declutter the clutter

And I'm excited about this?
