Just another manic Monday!

As I type this, I am watching my gay boyfriend dance on Dancing with the Stars GO LANCEY!!! :) Aaaand... I have to admit that I liked Brooke's freestyle better I think... And so did the judges apparently, but I still love my gay boyfriend :)

Anyway! I just found out that we have 3rd row tickets to the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game!!!! I'm super excited! So, Dad, Clayton, Taylor and I are all going to Dallas Thurday morning and coming back on Friday! It should be interesting! But fun! Oh! And my little cousins are going to SUPER jealous because the Jonas Brothers are going to be playing at halftime! Haha! Taylor's favorite band! I hope they play his favorite LAVA song! (he hadn't ever heard of the Jonas Bros. 'til we went to the lake and my cousins made sure he never forgot them! lol!) So that will be fun!

And! I was actually on TIME to work today at 7am! So that was unexpected! I even ironed my pants, did my hair, and had ALL of my makeup on BEFORE I left the house! Usually it's still making its way onto my face in the truck :) Impressive, yes, I know :)

That's pretty much it! I've got to get stuff ready for work and watch my TIVO'd John & Kate Plus 8! NIGHT NIGHT! :)

Wow. Talk about let down.

The much-talked about game that has been hyped up for 2 weeks was a TOTAL and COMPLETE let down. I'm very disappointed. And that's actually all I'm going to say about that.

But good news! I finished putting my Christmas stuff up today! "Finished" meaning all of the stuff that I currently own. I really need to get more stuff, but it's going to have to wait. ALSO! I was reminded by my Food Network watching today that one of my favorite things about the holidays is quickly approaching! CHRISTMAS FOOD NETWORK SPECIALS!!! YAAAAYYYYY!!!

This week should be a busy one, I'm actually working 7-6 Monday and Tuesday, so that oughta be a whole lotta NO FUN! Seeing as though I can barely make it to work on time when I'm supposed to be there at 8! But it's only for 2, I mean 3 days. I have to be there at 7 on Wed. too but I'm leaving around 4 because we're having thanksgiving w/ my family on Wednesday night because Dad and clayton are going to the cowboy game!

OH! AND I have more good news! But I think I have to wait until Tuesday to post anything "official"... And, I'll probably be able to elaborate more if I wait until then!

But for now, I'm gonna gather up the puppies and go to bed! Yay! I love bed! :)

Being a slacker as usual!

I haven't blogged in FOR-EVER! So here ya go! :)

The end!

Okay! Just kidding. Sooooo! Nothing really eventful has happened recently. We did go to Midland last weekend to help Taylor's parents put up their Christmas stuff since Tay's dad tore his Achilles tendon and is laid up for a while. So I mainly just played with Hannah and Wyatt (since that's what I do best) and did a little bit of shopping! I did happen to find out that while I was there, a "friend" of mine's dad was shot and killed while at Whataburger. I say "friend" because we don't really have any contact nowadays, but growing up (and again at MCS) we played softball together and her dad was actually our coach at one point in time, it's just a sad deal. I just can't imagine what they are going through, and I hope I never have to, but it makes you think about what you have and what would happen if that were taken away from you. I even saw her do a news segment I watched online, and it made me cry. It's just very, very sad.

Anyway! I can't keep thinking about that... OH! Yesterday! I went and put a BUNCH of stuff in our booth at KK's. It makes the first pic I posted on here of our booth look SUPER lame!!! K! Ready for this?

......

I seriously thought I wasn't going to have enough room to put all of my stuff! Cristin brought 2 more of her canvases (but they won't last past this weekend, I guaruntee it because those things sell like hot cakes!), luckily I had painted a couple of pieces of wood to use for shelves, so that worked out nicely. but I still need at least 3 more so that I will have more space. I'm also glad that we had enough that I could block out the lady's booth next to us, because she always puts stuff on our ledge and it's really annoying! I still need to make at least 3 different kinds of taggie blankets, and 2 wipee cases, and I wish I could do it before the weekend but I know it's not going to happen. Sis is going to Cali through the weekend for a conference, so I've been charged with dropping by and making sure the booth is orderly for the weekend. I don't know if I can handle that much responsibility but I guess I'll just have to do my darndest!

Anywho! Now that you know all of the wonderfully boring things about my booth, what else can I blog about???? OH! The hub and I might get tickets to the Tech/OU game in Norman this weekend, so that could be exciting! I put in for our bowl tickets to whichever one we make it to, so I've been pricing plane tickets and stuff :-/ Let's just say I'm hoping that Santa brings me some southwest giftcards!!!

I started putting out my Christmas stuff yesterday and brought out my box of ornaments, but am holding off putting the garland, stockings and christmas tree up until this weekend (if I dont go to the game). I just want to be in the christmas state of mind when I do it, and it doing so requires at least 50 degree weather, if not cooler! And christmas music! Definitely christmas music!

And that's about it. I figure I won't blog until next week because I have stuff I should be doing until then, and next week is a short week what with Thanksgiving and all, so I must be productive both at work and here at the casa! So!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Psalm 107:1 ~ "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."

WOOO HOOO TECH!!!!

Soooo....

I am EXTREMELY tired! Why you ask? Well, because Friday night, we (me, Tay, and his friend Brian) went to take some stuff up to the tailgate and hang out but after walking around and going to look at the ESPN College Game Day set up, the boys got the wonderful idea that we should camp out at school so we could get up early and get in line so that we could get into the area set up for Game Day. So - that's what we did. (But not before we could go home and gather supplies!). So, to make a long story short, at about 2:30am Saturday morning we finally situated our little sleep set-up in the truck. We then woke up at 5:30am and walked from the parking lot we were in to the engineering key where they had the stage set up. We were just hanging around in the dark with a bunch (and when I say bunch I mean about 1,000 - and this was just the ones I could see, not including the ones that were around the corner of Holden Hall) of other crazy Tech fans waiting to get in and about half an hour into our venture, Taylor starts telling me that he's hungry and that I should go get us food (YEAH RIGHT!!) then at about 6:15-ish, some Game Day people started walking around handing out HOT Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches!!! IMAGINE THAT! Then at 7 am the line started moving! We finally got in at about 7:30am which then led to another hour and a half of standing around before Game Day actually started (but they taped a couple of Sports Center segments and Corso would talk to everybody and mess around in between, so that made the time go by a little quicker). Then the actual broadcast started at 9am and lasted until 11am. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! (Even though my legs were already tired from the 6 hours of standing up I had already done and it wasn't even noon!) So we went back to the truck, got our game faces on, and headed to the tailgate til 6pm and then headed up to the stadium and the game started at 7:00pm.

SOOOOO THENNNNN, in case you didn't know, we proceded to BEAT THE NUMBER 1 UT (who is now number 4, and we are NUMBER 2!!!). Yup! I would go into detail, but most of all of you who read this (hopefully) know what happened. But I will just say I think I had an anxiety attack there at the end!

OH! And Matthew McConaughey was there, as hot as he is, if he didn't want to be subject to the home crowd (students) booing him, he should have been holed up in a suite, that's just my opinion.

So yeah, then today we gained an hour, so that was cool I guess, and I didn't woke up relatively early at 9:30 (depeding on how you look at it) then we all (Taylor, Me, Brian and Michelle) hung around and went to eat at Ruby Tequilas at 11. Then they left and the rest of my day has been consumed by cleaning house, doing laundry and ironing, but I did manage to upload my pictures from yesterday so here ya go...

It's dark at 6:00 in the morning!

One of my favorite signs, it said "Graham's My Favorite Gracker"

The sun decided it would come out and play!

There were LOTS of signs!

I'm pretty sure this is right after Bobby Knight said of his TTU pick "I hope we beat their @$$"

Corso making his pick -- Putting on the RAIDER RED head!!!

GUNS UP CORSO!

One for the road.

Ready for kickoff...

WE WIN A LOT!

Me and the hubby

(please excuse the funny face/baggy eyes, I was trying to tell the girl how to work my camera and had slept 5 hours out of the past 48)

Now it's night night time! :)
