No time to exercise

I have not exercised this week like I had a planned, but I did get exercise in.  I hurt in places that make me feel old. We did massive yard work for two days.  The first day it was just me and Jeff and we worked from 11:30-7.  I tell you I got more of a full body workout hauling limbs and cutting them down than I would have doing my dvd. The second day Jordan was home to help, so my work was cut in half. We also didn't work as long, 10-3 or so.. Then Jeff built a fire in the fire pit and we roasted weirners and had smores that evening.. It was nice to sit and chill.. I also had two beers.  Thats something we have started doing again.. Having a few drinks on Jeff's day off. We are still not done out back.  We have to get a bigger chain saw to finish up.  I also want Jeff to make a bench out of the thickest piece of tree thats left.  He likes the idea, so he is going to try..I think it would look cool by our fire pit. I was thinking about mowing the back yard this morning, but right now I don't feel up to the task.

My cousin from Washington is coming in for the weekend, well she is flying down with her two kids to leave them with my aunt and uncle for the summer. So Saturday night we are suppose to join the family in a get together to eat and visit.  We are also suppose to go to Norton for Jeff's family reunion Saturday morning. We haven't been to one in about 9 years.. They just are so boring and when the boys were younger there was nothing for them to do. Now its just so boring!!

Well I did that lemonaid cleanse three times yesterday , and then bailed.. I can't do it.. I would rather take a pill that cleaned me out then drink that stuff and not eat.. I have no will power, I need food..

I am having an issue with my checking account.. I have always rounded up to the nearest dollar when subtracting my balance, that way I never have to figure in the cents. I suck at math so why add numbers, plus it has been sort of a savings account. We have done and bought things with all that extra cents.  Anyway as of two weeks ago when I figured the check book we were $135 over what the bank showed and everything had cleared already.  Then Jeff got paid on the 13th , but we didn't have electricity so no internet until late so I didn't pay bills or figure the account. Then all weekend I was busy getting food again and doing laundry, cleaning up from not having electric. Then we did yard work and so yesterday was the first time for me to sit down and figure the check book and pay bills. Only now my account is under that additional $135. I have gone all the way back to January and re added and subtracted and checked evrything that has cleared three times and can't find it.. How did it just vanish with out a trace.. I called the bank and a woman was helping me we got all the way to March then she had to help someone in person and said she would call me back,  but she never did. I tell you it is driving me crazy that the money is just gone, like it was never there..

I really want another tattoo, I know what I want , I just don't know exactly where I want it..

Well thats all I got.. Hope everyone is well..

Electricity is so nice!

I'm so thankful we have electricity again.  That was a hard two days, I feel sorry for those that have to go longer without. Of course they probably have somewhere to go. We could have left too if we didn't have so many dogs. Oh well , now we wait for the insurance adjuster to come on Monday, hopefully we get fully refunded what we had to pay the electrician plus money to pay for additional damage done from the tree falling.

Hope everyone has a great day

the gym

Well I went down to our Anytime Fitness yesterday to get prices for me and Jordan. I was thinking about how good Laura is doing and wanted to give weight lifting a serious try. Plus I think it would be good for Jordan. Well its not going to happen. As soon as walked in I felt over whelmed. I'm just not a gym type girl. I hate all the people staring at me. The guy I talked to was really nice and showed me around, but I just didn't feel comfortable. Not to mention I seriously do not want to spend $100 dollars a month for 12 months. So I will just continue to work out here at home.  Jordan said he would just buy him some free weights and go on youtube..  Love that kid!
Jordan got another raise at work, he is now making more money than Cole ever did up there. Cole worked there for two and half years and Jordan hasn't even  been there a year yet.. go Jordan!!!  So proud of him.. He really enjoys working up there. He got a really good compliment the other night. The owner's friend came threw the drive through the other day, Jordan of course was the runner, anyway she told Jordan and the owner that he was the best most funniest person she has ever dealt with up there.. I tell him all the time he is a funny kid, but I guess coming from a stranger means more than what mom says.. LOL
Well time to get busy with my day.. Hope everyone is well.

Day Trip

So Monday Jeff and Jordan were off work, so we took a day trip to Abilene.. It was suppose to be for Jeff to find a amp for his acoustic guitar , but I am the one who raked it in..LOL  Jeff is looking for a certain amp and was under the impression that Abilene had a certain music store there , where he was sure to get what he wanted.. That was not the case. The music store is only located in Lubbock and Ft. Worth.. So Abilene's small music stores only had what ours have.. He could order it on line , but hello , shipping would eat us up.. I told him we could go to Ft. Worth yesterday, and stay the night at my moms. Jordan didn't have to go to work until 5 Tuesday.  He didn't want to leave the dogs alone over night.. Daisy and Harley are really needy. They would probably go into shock if left alone that long. But I was willing to give it a chance for Jeff to get what he wants, but Jeff said no , he didn't feel comfortable leaving them by themselves that long.. yes we love our dogs that much. So since the music store was a bust, we went and ate at some Mexican Restraunt it was really good and looked pretty cool inside.. Laura you would love love love the queso it was amazing..Then from there we went to the mall.. I just wanted to check Dillards to see what coach purses they had compared to ours.. Man they have twice as much as our Dillards does.. I was just at ours two days ago and saw a really cute black one with studs on the bottom, but it was $378.. yea NO... I'm a purse whore , but if I'm paying that I want it to be bigger than my wallet..Anyway Abilene had the same purse for way way less, I think it was like $220 or something like that.. While I was debating on getting that purse I came across anther one I liked so much more.. It is the one I bought and posted the pics of.. I have never had a white purse before , and it probably will be a mistake, but I will get some leather cleaner for it.. I am in love with this purse...Then from there we walked by Sunglass Hut and Jeff stopped to look.. His are pretty old and scratched up.. We got to trying on glasses and the sales guy even talked us into trying on a brand we are not familiar with called Maui Jim , they are polarized or something like that.. All I know is it made everything more vibrant and clear.. So all three of us walked away with sunglasses..  I didn't plan on getting any , but I tried on a pair and Jeff really liked them on me, so he made me get them.. seriously he did, I truely didn't want to get any cause I just spent so much on my purse, but Jeff get them.. So who am I to argue with that.. Right??   Oh , but that is not all my sweet husband bought me. While we were at the purse section there was a lady looking at purses and you know me, I got to talking to here about my purse obsession, and she got to talking to me about this new mascara she just started selling.. It is called Magic Mascara or something like that.. Anyway she had on regular mascara on one eye and the magic stuff on the other eye.. She is 60 years old and here eyelashes were amazing... I bought a tube.. I will post pictures to let yall see how it works.. So all in all I had a really awesome day..
Well talk later , I need to go finish up our luper...  Hope everyone is well.

Not much of nothing

Really nothing new has been going on.  My insurance decided since Jordan turned 17 that he would have his drivers liscense and just automatically added him.  I called them to tell them he still only has his permit, but they said since he is 17 he has to be added as a driver.. So now my insurance jumped up an extra $230 dollars.  They added him to my car not the truck.  Which is fine cause he drives the car not the truck.. I looked at Jordan and told him he now has a bill.. I'm not paying that.. Hopefully this will be an insintive for the boy to want to drive and get his on vehicle.. I didn't have this problem with Cole, he wanted to drive all the time when he got his permit.. Jordan never wants to drive.. He said he doesn't like driving our vehicles, but he doesn't look for one for himself.. We look for him.. I'm going to be purchasing his junior year classes next week so he can start school again.  He's had about two weeks of summer , time to get busy.. I can't wait for him to be done.. This school year is going to be cheap on us only $200.
Jeff has been looking for an amp and an electric guitar at pawn shops and the music stores here in town.. He has an acustic that he just bought a month ago, but apparently he now needs those other things.  He wants an amp that has dual plugs so he can attach a mic, because he wants me to sing while he plays.. He said it would be fun.. yes fun for him laughing his ass off at how terrible I sing... I told him I will not be singing with a mic in front of him.. He knows this, I don't sing in front of anyone..Jordan can be his entertainment. Anyway he hasn't been able to find what he is looking for. Well let me rephrase that he hasn't been able to find what he is looking for at the price he wants to pay.  So he is off on Monday and Tuesday this next week and we are going to try and go to Abilene to look at there music store.  It all depends on Jordan's work schedule..
Last week I started exercising again.. I exercised  for about two and half hours. I was extremly exhausted.  This week Jordan informed me that he watched some youtube video about exercising and that I should only exercise 30-60 minutes.  So sweet that he was looking out for me.. So this week I'm taking his advice and doing the T25 and allternating days adding the treadmill and eleptical. I do feel better.
I bought me a chair to start laying out in to get some color, but its been so hot I don't want to go outside..LOL
Mandy and the kids stopped by for a visit on Tuesday, now that girl needs to stay out of the sun..I do believe too much sun makes you look old and your skin looks like leather.. I don't want that , I just want a touch of color.
Well thats all I got.. Hope everyone is well.

hurting all over

ugh!  I  started my heavy exercise routine back on Monday, and boy does my body hurt. After not being able to exercise for 8 weeks , its like starting new..I'm really disappointed in myself, I should have been more careful with my food intake since I couldn't exercise..my goal is two pounds a week.  If I can do it I will lose 18 pounds by vacation time. I have seen how good lifting weights has done for Laura so I started doing that as well. Of course its just a little free weight right now , but I do plan on bumping it up. I have to start out low right now, I'm really weak.. My new exercise routine that I started on Monday takes me 2 and half hours.. By the time I finish that , then start my house hold chores and fix lupper (lunch/supper) run Jordan to and from work, I am exhausted.

Loved all the rain, but our den flooded.. its a good thing we just use it as a storage room. Nothing in there to ruin..

Jordan failed English 2 and Geomatry this year , so he has to redo them plus his 11th grade stuff. Our plan is to start him on this in a couple of weeks and were only giving him 6 months to complete. Then in January start him on his senior year so he can graduate by May. Hopefully it will work out.

Well thats all I got, hope everyone is well.

moving on up

Jeff bought me a galaxy tablet for mothers day, and Jordan bought me a keyboard to go with it. I just got the keyboard today. So far really loving it.

Its raining really hard out right now!  Thank you God!!!!


Not much has been going on, I went for my six week check up on Wednesday and everything went great.  I'm good to go back to normal activity.. I have gained nine pounds since March.. YUK!!!

I need to really buckle down and get 15 pounds off by the end of July.. We are going to go on vacation and were going to go to a water park..

Well I just really wanted to check out how well my new keyboard worked ,so that is all I got to say.. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
