So it is my first day off for Christmas Break and I am bored already! It's only Monday!! I started my day off by waking up at 10:00. I haven't slept that long since before the surgery. I do have to say it was nice though.

I know it's a little late, but we went Nashville, TN for Thanksgiving. It was very busy but yet kinda relaxing. We went to see the Rockets, The Grand Ole Opry, an Ice show, and we spent about every afternoon shopping at the Opryland Mills. I loved the Grand Ole Opry. I didn't know who half the people were but they all did a wonderful job. Anyone ever heard of Mountain Heart or Cherryholmes? They were my favorite. Let me tell you, the banjo and fiddle are pretty cool when someone actually knows how to play them. They had my attention the entire time. My other favorite outing was the ice show thing. Hopefully the pictures will work that Im trying to download. Anyways, it was 12 degress inside and they made you wear this really cool shiny blue jackets. This jacket kept you warm but not warm enough. I froze!! Everything inside was made from ice. They had agiant slide that adults and children could slide down, then they had a nativity scene that was out of this world. It was beautiful and huge. I had a lot of fun here. Too bad I couldn't stay in it that long nor could I go down the slide. I know Thanksgiving is over so I will stop talking about our trip.

Now it's Christmas time and we finally got all our shopping done. We did good...a week before Christmas and now I can relax. I even have them all wrapped. I told Bradley, when we have kids we are so doing the shopping thing in October or before lol. People just get cranky and rude when this time comes. Isn't this sad:( I can get a little rude or mad when people shove and think they are the only ones out to buy or wait in a line. Anyways, I think we are going to watch the new Rocky movie for Christmas Eve with Bradley's family.

12:38 a.m. and I'm still up!

It is 12:39 on a Sat. night and I'm up here at Bradley's work. Bradley had to come into work around 5:00 and has been here all night. I went to my parents and stayed till 9:30 and then thought i would come up here and keep him company. Needless to say, I did not think I would be up here till 12. Come to find out he has to come back up here in the morning. Absolutely crazy!!! What was I thinking wanting to keep him company. I could have sat my lazy tail on the couch all night and watched all my recorded TV shows on the DVR. At least I got a free meal from my parents tonight. My mom jokes and says that she babysits me on the nights that Bradley's busy. Bradley has now become an old fart. I cant believe I just said that word:1 Anyways, he has joined a bowling league with a bunch of guys in our old Sunday School class. So on Tuesday nights I go visit my parents. I have to say that I actually enjoy my parents company now. I would have never said that 10-15 years ago. I'm ready to go to bed

Well I am doing much better I think since the last few posts. I started physical therapy about 2 months and it is kicking my tail. At first I cried and cried and said I was never going back and then the exercises got easier. Now it is time to step it up and move onto phase 2. Phase 2 is where I start learning how to bend forwards and backwards again and do exercises that absolutely kill me. It is amazing how much your body withers away when you dont do anything. The therapist actually said for every day I was down it was like 7 days of recovery time. Alright it is time for me to go so I will finish this later. Night all!!!

2 posts!!!

With all of that being said below, I apologize if I have offended anyone who has a space with a "friend list!!" On a lighter note, I thought I would fill you in one what's going on. Did I mention I was moving classrooms and grades? I am now going to teach Kindergarten and can't wait. Without further adue let me tell you about our house. We have had a time with what I call the plagues. We have had a problem with ants in our house, black widows outside of our house, mice when we were building and now a few nights ago baby spiders in my bathroom. A few nights ago, I noticed a trail of baby spiders on the wall so what do most women do, they call their husbands to come and take care of the pesty problem. I need to remind you that it was around 10:15 p.m and I tried to be brave and not take my pain medicine several hours before. I was crying and hurting at this time and then noticed the trail. Bradley walks in and starts inspecting the spiders....thats when I did the same. We then noticed they were everywhere in my bathtub, on the shower door, on the ceiling, on the walls....little trails everywhere!!! I lost it!!!! I boohooed I was hurting, tired of the ant problem, and now was afraid spiders were gonna get me. My wonderful husband instead of laughing at me, drew me in, hugged me, and said it's gonna be alright. He took care of everything. He kept tellling me to go to bed and not worry but I had to be there as a backup incase the baby spiders went after him. He sprayed the spiders and all there happy little trails and vacummed them up. He is the best when it comes to an exterminator!!! I thought I would show you a picture of the black widows outside of our house.

Can you see the red hour glass looking thing on his belly? Imagine 20 or so all in your garage? We definetly took care of that problem!!!!


A group of us went to 6 Flags a week before my surgery. This is only part of the groups. We had a total of 12 people. I worked with 3 of the ladies and the rest we all knew from Start Baptist Church. Actually everyone knew each other from church minus us and the Martins. Anyway's it was alot of fun and we all got along so well. This isn't the best picture by the way, I look like I have a double chin and I was sweating my butt off. I know I am thin but I have lost 10lbs due to the surgery. My dad thinks I'm skin and bones, but believe me it's not a lack of trying. No lie, we get ice cream almost every night.


I thought this next picture was just cute of Bradley and I!!! It was taken at Rainforest Cafe when we were at 6 Flags. I think he is wonderful and just flat out adorable!! Since we don't have any kids yet, pictures of us are all we have. Sorry bout that:)

Not understanding?

Okay so here it is, I am not understanding the whole myspace.com? I was currently on Mrs. Elly's blog and tried to look up a few people and got the same response. You go to look at a someones website and you get a message that you have to be "added as a friend." I don't know if I want to be added as a friend. Why you ask? Cause the way Shandra put it " I am a blog stalker" I LOVE to read up on people but rarely like to leave a message. I haven't talk to some of these people in years....not that I wouldn't want to talk to them now, it's just been so long that I would be afraid they wouldn't remember me. If they remembered, I wouldn't know what to say besides the routine questions. I do not mean this in a mean way. I guess what it all boils down to is that I am a nosy person and love to catch up on people and look at pictures!! With this being said this whole converation does not revolve only around college/BSU friends.

To make a long story short, have a friend who went through some rough times with the ex-wife and me being the nosy one wanted to read what she has to say. Therefore I am not on her "friend list" but want to be secretly. Why have a space if only certain people can see it? If it is a privacy issue then this whole myspace, blogspot, xanga, facebook and whatever else craze is pointless. I did it to catch up on people and vice versa not select who I would & would not let in my club. I may be treading on thin ice here or maybe it is a secret jealous issue because I want to be added as a "friend" but not really be a "friend" to this person in particular. I better shut my nosy mouth...you never know who is reading this:)
