Greetings from the COLD south :) It is about 17 right now if that outside! I am not really sure what the low was.. when I got up about 8 it was 12 I believe... Yesterday I ended up going to my moms and having one of my fave meals- hamburger, gravy , biscuits and fried potatoes. I also got my emergency money out of the safe. We MIGHT end up making all the bills after all. Especially after I find out what the heck sprint is smoking because there is NO way with my credits from last month and such it should be as high as it is...plus I can always call and delay the payment for it..If I figure it out i'll let you know lol. I haven't had a correct bill YET with them. I did get my AT&T final bill and HA HA HA HA is all i can say on that note lol. This morning I was all muccus-y so I finally just got up and took a shower. It helped a bit .. then David actually gave Marley a bath! I was like I guess oxygen deprvation makes you see stuff lol. Usually we take her to my moms and give her … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well we got "That CALL" yesterday afternoon saying that David (And my Dad for that matter) won't be working ANY this week :( In all reality they are not supposed to work if it is under 32 but a lot of times they do anyways...but combined with the refreezing and more perciptation expected..they went ahead and cancelled it. Let me put it to you this way. We do live paycheck to paycheck with little wiggle room so it is NOT a good situation.  Rent will be due, Car insurance, car payment and the power bill. I am not sure what else.. I know the phone bill but I could care less about if it is late.. I do however need a place to live, electricity and not to have the car taken away! I have emergency money that is stashed at my moms that I have had since FOREVER. It is not a lot but it might help at least with our rent. I have thought many times over the years that I would have to dip into it- even had it in my hands and then put it back in their safe... I am HOPING that … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well we are having an ICE event here in the south! I know people make fun of the south when it comes to winter weather in the south. ... and generally when you are talking about snow I will laugh along with you! HOWEVER--this is ICE and that is just a bit more serious! With the weather not going to even get above freezing, what little bit might melt with the sun will be refreezing for the next several nights and we are expecting record low temps as well! I have drove in snow MANY times but ICE I do not toy with that! I am going to try to get some pics later on ... I might get david to take them when he takes Marley out-- as we know I don't like to be out in slick weather ever since 2 years ago when I tore the heck out of my leg/foot/ankle! It seriously was 2 years ago yesterday when I did that! Originally David was supposed to be on a 2 hour delay for work but it ended up being cancelled all together. He did go in though so he will get paid for 2hrs because of that. … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone! I have spent a little time cleaning up my side bar and footers today. Not finished just yet,  but thought they could use a little overhaul. I also am going to start with cleaning up the subpages- adding some new ones, editing some of the current ones and that kind of thing :) It really is the little things it seems like get let go the most!  I am also wanting to work some on southern belle- but I haven't decided EXACTLY what I want to do over there just yet. It is supposed to be my blog that is more for family/real life folks to read and I am thinking about using it for my VA website (in part) a little bit of local stuff, ramblings and even things about church and faith and all that kind of thing.... It was kind of an impulse buy because I loved the domain name, but I haven't managed to make it pop just yet- not to worry it still has that new blog smell and is such a blank canvas still. I LOVE THAT :) Not that I am going to neglect good ole AR here, heck no- put way … [Read more...]

hey everyone! well it is friday the thirteenth and with the week I have been having I AM LAYING LOW lol. Actually I should be asleep right now no doubt especially since I stayed up WAY to late for a weeknight last night!  It is cold and ominous looking outside too! We decided to take marley out later on this morning when I am "for real up" because of it! you just know i will have her in her pea coat too :) My parents /extended family did cancel their plans for going to my grandparents this weekend, I kind of figured that would happen though Yesterday I was an emotional roller coaster! I have NO IDEA what it was about either! I woke up in a really great mood, the weather was nice and sunny and what not and BAM I fell into a BAH HUMBUG mode and like to never got myself perked back up! Like I say this hasn't been a great week- Monday Asthma- Tuesday Asthma and Female stuff.. I don't remember Wed- I think it might have been ok lol. I am in one of those patterns where I cannot … [Read more...]

So many updates from me in one day, I know everyone is dying of shock lol.  Right now I am sitting here BORED out of my mind because David decided to wait till the last minute to let me know that he is "on the road" and won't be home until "at least 630" We had planned to go out to eat, so everything in the house is frozen solid food wise, and I really haven't went and got many snack foods for us just yet, as he just got paid yesterday so.. BUMMER! I wish he would have let me known sooner- I could have went to my mom and dads or something, but I don't even know what they were having /they made enough for someone extra so .. I guess I will find something to nibble on until he can get home. I would just run out somewhere and grab something, but I know that he will be wanting to still go out when he gets here probably sooo...If I could get ahold of him other than the 2 texts he sent I would see what he wanted to do but no luck! The bored factor is HIGH! Not too much going on online for … [Read more...]
