Today was my first day back to work at the Big D after being off for 11 days. My dogs are barking tonight and we weren't even busy. Guess I took it too easy on my vacation, which is exactly what you are supposed to do, right? Good for me! I just have one more day tomorrow and then I have a day off already. Yay!
I worked the closing shift today. I had about 200 emails waiting for me. I used to check this while I was on vacation so I could stay ahead, but it's just not worth it. I want to enjoy every day I have off and not worry about what is going on at work. They can live without me.
It took me several times during the day to get it all read, but that's how you eat an elephant... small bites. Anyway, today just consisted of taking down old décor and marking it down for sale. I can't believe how much we sold! I also had to run a shit ton of reports. Ya, a shit ton. I might as well tell you now I cuss like a bloody sailor. If you want to know the real me, that's a given. I use obscenities all the time, so watch out!
I was a bit hungry when I got home. What does one eat so late at night when they are starving? Van de Kamp fish sticks, of course. It's a culinary delight. Ha! Seriously tho, it took like 15 minutes to heat up in the oven, so that was it.
I am heading to my mom's after work. She has no internet, so I doubt I post. I will most likely be back by Tuesday. I also need to get my new iPhone this week. The Kid has been bugging me to go and get our upgrades. Guess it's time.

Last Day of Vaca
It's my last day here in OKC. I head back to the ICT tomorrow. Nothing special is planned. Going to have lunch with Stephen (my BF) in a few and then do some grocery shopping for his meals later this week. They have a grocery store here that I really like - Sprouts. It's big on fresh, small on processed. Stephen and I like to do our shopping here.
Guess we are heading out now. I will be back later to post more today! Laters....
Okay, I'm back. Had a little lunch (breakfast) at Jim's Diner. Their food is pretty tasty. It was our last meal "out" as we are both trying to eat more at home. I ordered a veggie omelet with cheddar cheese, country potatoes and a biscuit with gravy. It was every bit of delicious and terribly bad for me!
We then headed to the pawn shop to see Stephen's mom. I absolutely adore this gal. She's quite a smart cookie and her stories are endless. I think I could listen to her talk for hours and hours. We found two large mirrors for the workout room, so Stephen has a small project now of hanging those bad boys up. He wants them in the room so he can watch himself work out, making sure he is lifting correctly. Whatever.
Sprouts - have I said how much I love this store? I purchased two loaves of their organic 21 grain bread. It doesn't have a very long shelf life, but it's organic and SUPER tasty. I can freeze one loaf and when I come back next Saturday, I can always go back and purchase more. I also bought 3 delicious Honey Crisp apples. They were on sale for only $1.98/lb. We got our usual organic stuff: carrots, celery, broccoli, kale, grape tomatoes and salad mix. I make a killer salad. I will post it one day for you all to see. I load it with all kinds of goodies. My favorite is adding a little pear for a touch of sweetness. Mmmmm.... can't wait for supper tonight.
Stephen is online looking at rubber floors (workout room) and he keeps looking at me as I type this. I think the tapping/clicking of my nails on the keys may be a little annoying. hahaha.... oh well!
Guess I better start prepping for supper tonight. We are having sockeye salmon (Stephen is going to grill) and a myriad of wonderful grilled vegetables - zucchini, squash, yellow onions, etc. Of course I plan on making a killer salad to go with it. The only thing cumbersome about tonight's preparation is pulling those darn pin needles out of the fish. I am glad Stephen got me a pair of needle nose pliers. They definitely do the trick!
Well, I guess I better get to it. I go back to work tomorrow and I still have to fold a load of laundry. Hope you all had a great day!
I'll try to do a better job of posting more.

No Resolutions
Ya... I am not the one for making resolutions anymore. Not once have they have stuck. Lol,,, So, I am just going to live each day to the fullest. I am sure it will be so adventurous (insert sarcasm here).
Anyway, I am in OKC right now visiting my BF. We have been dating a little over a year. I was with Josh (my ex) for over 7 years, so if you are wondering what happened to him, well, we broke up. He now lives in Dallas with his brother.
Anyway, I love visiting the OKC area. I would totally move here if Kroger would ever put stores down here, but since that isn't going to happen, well, we will just have to see. Don't worry. I highly doubt there will be wedding bells in my future. I've never been married. Don't see that changing anytime soon.
Okay. I need to make some coffee. It's a late start this morning. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I'm Back!
I can't believe it's been so long since my last post. So much has changed. I moved out of my (ex) boyfriend's house, dated for a bit, lost 38 pounds and still losing. Now I am seeing a pretty awesome guy from Oklahoma. Life is pretty good!
I used to have a weight loss blog, but that got old. I miss this blog very much. I made some great friends here. I am hoping to get back to that!
Well, it's late. I better sign off this blog so I can read some others.
Night!

Crazy Dreams
I had some crazy dreams last night. There were people in my dreams I haven't seen since high school, a guy who's brother I was madly in love with. I kept telling him to tell his brother I said hi and that I missed him and was he really married to "that girl"?
What the F?
In the dream, we were also headed to Hawaii for a destination vacation spot, but got caught up in tornadoes in Canada. I'm a weirdo.
Good thing I woke up. I felt kinda guilty for dreaming that, but I can't control it, so, yeah, whatever.
Do you ever have crazy dreams?
So I am technically off this weekend, but I have some things I have to work on. At least I can do them from home. The kid has Ultimate Frisbee practice, so I will get to do some laps around the track today. I asked him if he minded and he thought it was a brilliant idea. Yay!
Well, I am off to read blogs. Hope you are having a great weekend!
