My kitty is a mommy
Right now out in our garage my kitty Savannah is giving birth. I don't know how many yet, when I checked a minute ago it was one so far. It's amazing to me. Savannah will be one on April 1 and now she is a momma cat. As soon as she is done and cleaned up and she will allow me I will take some pics to post.

10 on Tuesday
1. I am going shopping today!! Yeah!! Some new clothes here I come!
2. I am getting my hair cut soon. Like short. It just isn't working being long.
3. It's about to be flip flop season again. Love that time of year because I love flip flops and pretty toenails.
4. We got my swing put up yesterday. Whoo hoo...it's only been sitting in our garage for the last seven months. Now I just need to paint the frame white.
5. I'm trying to find a fun day trip for me and Wes for Saturday. It's our last weekend of being able to do anything for about a month and a half. The outage starts Sunday and I won't be seeing a lot of him.
6. I am trying to pick out flowers for our flower beds. I'm not really that great at that. I love flowers but I just have a black thumb. Hmm...
7. I really would like to thank the inventor of chewing gum. Especially sugarless chewing gum. It sometimes saves my insanity.
8. I'm so looking forward to my new car.
9. They are clearing off the land to the right of our house to start building houses there. I'm worried about it stirring up some unwanted creatures. Namely snakes. Just gives me the heebie jeebies thinking about it.
10. I'm so glad the weather is supposed to be in the 60's this week. Now I just hope that it stays there and we don't have another huge drop in temps. But this is Alabama so you never know!
Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm off to make the department stores some money :)

Some People Never Cease To Amaze Me
1. So I have blogged about little Zach a few times on here. Well pardon me but his mother is a real piece of work. She is 22, has two other children besides little Zach, tried to take one of my friends for all he is worth saying he was little Zach's dad, DNA test proved he wasn't, and she is refusing to tell who the real dad of little Zach is. Sounds like Jerry Springer. It gets better. She lives off the government, and acts like everyone owes her. She sleeps in till noon everyday and then makes her four year old wait on her hand and foot. She has been dating this guy who also has three children. He doesn't work either. They both live at home with their moms. So this weekend he proposes to her with a 2 carat diamond! Where did he get the money for that I have to wonder? You are going to live off the government but wear a 2 carat diamond? And now they have their own real life Brady Bunch. Man.
2. Saturday night me and Wes are eating at Rosies. Really enjoying a nice dinner. At the end of our meal here comes this little family to sit at the table behind us. The mother of this family was a loud mouth. She had big poofy hair that had so much hairspray in it that a piece of her hair could have cut glass. She had tips. She wore layers upon layers of makeup. And she was LOUD! The poor host who was sitting her only had 4 people wrote down on the ticket. She was pitching a fit because they had a baby with them as well. The host apologized and said he was sorry that all that was on the ticket was 4 people. The loud woman kept saying "My husband wouldn't have forgotten his own child!" with attitude dripping from every word. Then she goes to say We have been waiting for almost an hour (Lady get over it everyone waits at Rosies. We had to wait almost an hour and a half. It's just part of it. If you don't want to wait go somewhere else!) Then she demanded to see a manager. She made this huge scene. Then she had the audacity to turn around to us as we were leaving to ask us if we minded if she take the chips that we hadn't eaten. Really?? Um lady they will bring you all the chips you want...you don't have to ask complete strangers who are leaving for their leftover ones.
3. I have a dear friend who I love to death. I say that because what I am about to say might appear otherwise. She spent the night here Friday night. She reminded me of a child. I had to pick up after her. Like she left wrappers laying around my living room. Saturday morning we all were getting ready to go eat pancakes for my church's mission fundraiser. I had gotten up extra early to take a shower so everyone would have enough hot water and time. We have two bathrooms in our house but you can't run both showers at once. Someone wouldn't get enough water pressure. So my friend had wanted up at 7. I kept hearing her cell phone alarm going off but she never emerged from the guest room. Finally about 7:30 I go knock on the door, because we had wanted to leave at 8:30 and Wes still had to shower as well. So she finally gets up and she goes and turns on the shower and lets it run for about 10 minutes while she got things together. Okay two things: 1. You are wasting hot water when you do this. 2. This is not your house and I consider it rude to do that at someone else's house. Then she proceeds to take a 30 minute shower (making it 40 minutes total the water is going). She then comes to me complaining that the water had started to get cold at the end. Well what do you expect? My poor husband had to take a cold shower. To top it off, she had used two towels, and two washcloths. I was aggravated but I didn't say a thing.
So yeah I have to say that people sometimes well I can't find the right word right now. But I'm sure that everyone knows what I mean.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Monday.

A Few Happenings
So I haven't really felt like anything blog worthy (for this blog) has been going on lately. But I have had a few inspirations.
Last summer when we moved in we painted our kitchen, and master bath. Then we stopped because I got really frustrated with painting. Yet I keep hearing it's pretty easy to do so I have decided that I was doing something wrong. I am in the process of figuring out the best way to do this. Any tips from my friends out there? We were going to just hire it done but lately I have been bored out of my mind and I would really like to save the money for something else. So Wes begins an outage March 17th. He will be working nights, and sleeping during the day. So I think I am just going to surprise him and take on some of these home improvement projects myself. I'll start with the guest bath since it is smaller. :)
As soon as Wes' outage is over (hopefully mid April) we have serious landscaping issues to tackle. We are actually tackling a few before hand but this weather is not cooperating. Like Saturday is supposed to be gorgeously sunny...problem is the high is predicted to be only 36 degrees. I was afraid of this back in December when we were having some of those near 80 degree days. I figured we had to make up for it somewhere. But we have this nice plan drawn out and I told him we'd get it done. I am really looking forward to the finished product. I think what we drew up is pretty nice :) Now if we could only figure out the backyard lol.
I'm heading over to Michaels to pick up stuff to make a spring wreath for my front door. I'm DIYing so I'll take pictures to post as soon as I get it finished.
And finally we are on a T minus 2 months till I retire the old Alero and I get my brand spanking new Civic! Super excited here :)
Happy Thursday everyone!

A few things I have learned about myself...
1. I really like the group Led Zepplin...who knew lol?
2. I have some OCD tendencies such as if I am talking to you and I ask a question or make some sort of remark leading to understanding...I need an answer or else I feel like I am being ignored. My hubby is learning :)
3. I wish I was all Martha Stewarty but I am not. I accept that and do the best I can.
4. I am easily swayed and easily guilted. These two traits are ones I need to work on.
5. Hence #4 I tend to keep things I am doing or going through to myself especially from those close to me because one little remark or comment and I am leaning that way whether I want to or not.
6. We did a financial needs analysis and learned that we really don't have that much debt. Some debt but not a ton. Could be worse.
7. I have lots of uncharted interests. I am trying to explore those interest. For starters my mother in law is going to teach me to sew. Like using a sewing machine sewing. I am pretty pumped about it.
8. I am a procrastinator. I don't want to be a procrastinator.
9. I boredom eat. That's not a good thing to do for me.
10. I really enjoy looking at other people's houses. Not just decorating skills, but the design of the house as well.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
