I am SOOO Excited about christmas now that I have a grasp on what I want to do. I dont have alot of money so therefore I am only getting my sister my mom and my dad something.
I can't post pictures of these yet or say exactly what they are just in case my parents read my blog! You never know!!
But lets just say they are very creative and personalized :D so excited that I cant stop working on them until they are finished. I have done what I can do for now though I have to wait till I get paid of friday and go to either walmart or Joann fabrics to get some last things for them.
:D
I've decided that I dont stick to the plan for each individual day so I am just doing things that I have on hand and that I can make so that I have an idea of what to cook. The biggest thing for me is having a plan so that I don't eat out or pick something up when I dont need to.
Breakfasts:
Scrambled eggs and cheese
Egg and cheese sandwiches
Granola Cereal with raisins
Lunches:
Beef manicotti
Chicken mixture with brown rice and sweet and sour sauce
hamburger and baked beans
Dinner:
Beef manicotti
Chicken mixture with brown rice and sweet and sour sauce
Grilled cheese
Scrambled eggs
Snacks:
Jello
chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting
pretzels
New Addition to family!!! My little cousin had her first baby all healthy and weighed in at 8lbs 13oz 20.5 inches long!
I cannot wait till Nov 13-15th because I am flying to Ohio to visit family and Roberto (foreign exchange student that lived with us for a year) and his mom and dad are also coming to ohio from brazil to visit.
Woohoo C'mon November :)
Today I have cleaned the cat box, swept and mopped kitchen and laundry room, cleaned off counters put some dishes in dishwasher, moved the microwave and some other things on the counters around so that I could have more room to prepare foods. I am into this whole cooking thing now.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

- I am happy first and foremost because today is Friday and that means after todays festivites I can go home and relax all night!
- Also, today is my boyfriends grandsons birthday party and I am going there after work.
- Happy that I finally have my bills caught up.
- I have the new verizon wireless razzle its pretty cool but doesnt have flash for the camera and you cant get video messages on it, yet you can send some but all in all im happy with it because it resembles my blackberry I have but you dont have to pay the price for the blackberry service.
- I am happy that I have some great blogs to read while I am work :)
- Also so happy that today has been a busy day and that the time is flying by.

- Oh and one more thing Im happy that I got to wear my pj's to work today!! Im so comfy.
Happy Friday Everyone!!
Oh lets see....What memory do I want to write about today?
Completely random but this just came to my head.
When I was younger I used to go fishing and hunting with my dad. I would always help my parents around the yard doing yard work or helping mom clean on the inside of the house. As I grew older I started working for my Dad during the summers when I was out of school.
I was his secretary. I loved every minute of it. The time I remember the most is when I was sixteen and living with him in an apartment in Fort Wayne, IN. We would go to work together. Then grab some lunch and after work we would either go swimming, shoot hoops, play catch with the baseball, roller blade, workout or even play pool. I loved every minute of it. Being close with my dad really means alot and it kept us both really active and in great shape.
Sometimes I miss that because everytime after that summer that I worked for him, he was never that active again. I started growing apart from my dad a little bit.
I love him to pieces and cant wait to see him on Nov 13-15th.
I am thankful for my family.
My family has been there for me every time I need them. Some people grow up without their family and I am extremely thankful that my parents are who they are and that they raised me the way they raised me.
There are too many kids out there being raised completely spoiled and I don't agree with that.
I like the way I grew up because it has taught me to be independent and hard working. I have worked for everything I got in my life except my first car. I paid for school, I paid for my second car, cell phone all my bills. I made some not so smart choices and wracked up some credit card bills. As for those you can read about them on my Thoughts on Bills Tuesday post.
I can't wait till I get the house paid off and the BF and I can move to Ohio to be closer to my family. Yes, I moved away from them but it has made me a better person for it. I have gained so much work experience and life experience of living out on my own in a completely different state. With that being said the time is nearing to where I want to be close to them again. Im done with my time away :).
Eventually once we get moved to ohio and everything is settled we do plan to get married and have a kid. No rush on either of those yet.
