I'm So Excited

It's kind of been a strange day for me, honestly.  I wasn't really into socializing.  Not really into talking.  Just kind of wanted to keep to myself.  But we had a field trip that we were helping with today...which meant 23 schoolagers and 4 other teachers!  Plus, part of my job is to talk to people.  So I couldn't just sit in silence.  I wasn't in a bad mood.  Just a quiet one...if that makes sense to anyone. 

But I must admit that even though I was pretty quiet, I WAS EXCITED!!!  My friend and I are going on a mini vacation!  And we're going to Gatlinburg!  I've been wanting to go.  I love that place.  And she hasn't been in like 20 years!  (Just 6 for me.)  So we're going to go down and spend about 2 1/2 days.  I know...that's not a lot but plenty for us.  And in all the years I've known her, we haven't ever done anything like this before!  It's going to be fun!!!  We decided that even if it rains the entire time we're there, the time in the hotel room just talking and hanging out will be worth the trip down!  I CAN'T WAIT!!! 

That also means that I've got some serious work ahead of me.  I've got to work my butt off this weekend and all of next week to make sure everything is done and caught up on for work.  And really work ahead and so that I did end up MAJORLY behind when I get back.  Plus we have a big finance meeting the week after and rather than rushing around trying to make sure everything is ready and right the week after vacation, I'm getting it done before.  So work comes home with me this weekend.  But that's ok.  Gatlinburg with a great friend is totally worth it!  Plus I'm spending tomorrow evening with my Stella Bella tomorrow night (she'll be 4 on Sat) so the whole weekend won't be work! 

Also, I've been in my apartment now for almost a year.  It will be a year in Aug.  And I'm just now getting frames on my wall!  I've had my biggest one since last Sept.  Tried to get it up on the wall but what we used didn't work.  So it's been sitting since then.  Then my staff and my best friend bought me a bunch of frames for Christmas.  They never went up.  Sad, I know.  I kept saying I was waiting on a picture and that never happened.  But that's ok.  The frames went up last night!  My friend Tera helped me put them up (mainly cause she's taller than me and thinks I'll seriously injure myself using a hammer).  Before, the only wall in my livingroom that had pictures was the wall above my fireplace.  But now all of the walls have frames!  And there's one in my room.  My plan for this weekend (see, it won't be ALL work) is to put my favorite Bible verse (Jeremiah 29:11) above my front door.  And I want a friendship or life quote to go in my hallway and something else for my kitchen.  Any ideas????  If so, pass them along.  I could use the ideas!

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Lots of Names

Well, this is my fourth Friday in my apartment!!! It really does feel like home for the most part!!! Tera helped me...wait...I take that back. Tera MOVED my swing and table from mom and dad's a few weeks ago and so that is now on my deck! I love it!! Although, I have to admit that I haven't been home too much to enjoy it but at least I know it's there. Hopefully I'll get the chance to relax on my swing this weekend. I set my smoke alarm off the other night! That was funny! I was cooking a chicken patty and some fries in the oven. All of a sudden I hear this loud beeping! Of course once I realized it was the smoke alarm, I ran into the kitchen. Everything was good in there! Food was cooking just fine! Apparently it just got too hot in here for the smoke alarm. The funny part though is me standing on the chair trying to figure out why the alarm won't quit chirping every 45 seconds...even after I took out the battery! So after a text to the landlords (who laughed), I r...
