Almost party time!
That's right, tomorrow's the big day. Party at the hacienda. It's half a house-warming party, and half a Happy Birthday Ace party. (He'll be 30 on Monday)
I'm pretty excited, although right now all I can think of is all of the prep work that still needs to be completed. All the unpacking and cleaning, the shopping, the making of jello shots. Yes, jello shots. Delicious. Ace is working on the keg. Yes, the keg. Ex-frat boy, what should I expect?
And the story of the day around here is about the big storms heading our way, even though Ace is convinced they will go over and under Tulsa, and we won't get a drop. I would love a good heavy loud thunderstorm (good nookie weather) but I can do without tornadoes and hail.
Time for yard work!
Over the weekend Ace and I got quite a bit of yard work done. We'd get started when I'd get off from the shelter, and work until dark. Just doing the usual, raking, bagging, picking up sticks, mowing. We ended up with 9 bags of lawn shit. Hopefully the trashman will haul it away. But if not, we still technically have a residence at the apartment, so we can just take the junk to the dumpster.
Oh, and mucho thanks to my dad, for donating a kick ass lawn mower that is self propelled, and has a bagger. Never in my life will I have an old school mower after having a self propelled one. If you don't have one, save your pennies and get one.
So to continue with the lovely yard work, tonight I'm making a trip to Atwoods to buy grass seed, a hose, a sprinkler, and a shovel. I'm going to seed the lawn and water that all down, and dig in the flower beds a bit. Fun, right?
Tomorrow will be flowers/ bushes day. I'll keep you posted.

3. Ever been swimmin’ at the river? Oh hell yeah. Ace and I almost drowned one time.
4. Ever had a bonfire party? Absolutely. In the middle of a big field, everybody would back their cars up, and we'd sit around on the tail gates and drink up.
5. Have you ever driven a tractor? Yep, hauling hay with my dad as a kid.
6. Have you ever been on a horse? Many times. I miss my old one, she was a sweetie, and very fast too.
7. Call a kiss “sugar” (Gimme some sugar)? (I'm leaving Kid's answer, mine's the same)I personally don’t, but I know plenty of aunts and grandmas that do.
8. Get stuck, in a 4WD, in mud up to the windows? Not that high up, but once my brother and I got his truck stuck in the mud, so we grabbed my dad's truck to pull it out, and got that one stuck too! So we used my grandpa's truck to pull the other two out.
9. Do you say fixin’, reckon and ya’ll? I say fixin'... but not the other two.
10. Ever done 90 mph down a dirt road? Who hasn't?

13. Do you own cowboy boots? One pair.
14. Have you ever went rollin’ yard? I'm with Kid, I've never heard of this.
15. Have you ever said “git er done”? Yes, I'm sad to say... lol
16. Does your town have a “Drive A Tractor to School Day”? I'm not that much of a redneck.

21. If so, are you proud of it? Hell yeah!
22. Gone hunting? Not for me.
23. Gone fishing? Yes, but I think it's kind of boring. I would take the .22 and shoot the turtles though. Hey wait, does that mean I've been hunting? Turtle hunting? A new sport!!
24. Can you clog or have you been clogging? Nope, but I did tap dance as a girl.

29. Ever owned a pick up truck?I haven't, I've always had cars. But I borrow my Dad's all the time, especially to go to the drive in.
30. Had a pig for a pet? I have, his name was Rodeo. We would put a saddle on him and ride him around when our Shetland pony Candy Corn was grumpy. Loved that guy. I had a show pig once too, and I got the blue ribbon at the Creek County fair.

32. Pee’d on the side of the road? When you've gotta go, you've gotta go.
33. Made homemade wine? No way... lol
34. Had a party at the creek? Absolutely.
35. Milked a cow? Yes I have... and I was actually given goat milk as a baby instead of formula because of all the corn syrup in it. My dad would go out back, milk our goat, boil it, and after it would cool, it went into my bottle. Cool, right? lol...
36. Ran across round bails of hay? As in... ever see round bails of hay? Or literally run across them? I've seen them, never ran on them.
37. Must have sweet tea? Absolutely. That other stuff is funky.
38. Been to a race? I sure have. The Chili Bowl a couple of times, and of course, moster truck races.
39. Drink fresh milk, straight from the dairy farm? Both sets of my Grandpa's were farm hands on dairies. When we'd visit we'd put black cats in the cow patties and blow them up.
40. Include the word “yonder” in your vocabulary? Nah, my english teacher would have smacked me.
I'm the smartest girl ever
Ok, for all of you non-Oklahomans, we had a bunch of snow dumped on us last night. Because of the move, I can't find a lot of stuff, including my gloves.
So what's a girl to do when it's time to clean the snow off the car? (No, not holler for the boyfriend)
Grab your oven mitts! They work great. They're longer up the arm than regular gloves, so you won't be getting any snow under them and then have it slide up your arm while you scrape. Plus, there's no gap in between the end of your coat sleeve and the start of your glove. So no cold breezes either.
Genius, right? Check me out.
Hi everybody!!
Not much to blog today... I've been spending most of my energy on the house, last night I spent WAY too much money at the grocery store, but I guess that's just to be expected. A girl's gotta eat, right?
Poor Ace had a rough morning, check out his blog to find out why. So much for moving out of the ghetto. Sorry sonsofbitches.
Tonight is a new Lost, so other than that, I'll be trying to unpack and arrange my bathroom.
We're having a housewarming/ Ace's birthday party on the 31st. Kid, Daven, can you guys come? It'll be a blast. Daven, we'll save your barstool for you.
We're moved!
Hey everybody, I'm back!
We got moved into the house. Well, almost. Still lack a few things. Thanks much to Daven for lending us a hand Friday night, he timed his arrival perfectly, and didn't have to touch the entertainment center.
We love the house. The boys and the kitties love to play on the stairs, and Ace loves sitting in the recliner in the back room and playing his new video game. I love... well, I just love that it's a house. I was laying in bed last night, and trying to hear anything. And guess what? I couldn't hear a noise, except for my cat purring. No stomping neighbors, no barking dogs, no crying babies. Not one thing. Isn't that awesome?
We do still have a bit of work to do, some arranging, cleaning, and decorating. But that will all get done in time.
Girl Scout Cookies!!
Oh yeah, I preordered my cookies, so delivered to my desk an hour ago were 2 boxes of Thin Mints and 2 boxes of Samoas.
So tomorrow, when I'm moving... I'll have the most delicious cookies to snack on. Hell yes!
No dice
So we can't move in early, they can't accept post-dated checks. Dammit!!
Oh well, we'll survive. Jsut two more days to go.
In other news, I am now in two separate fantasy teams. One for March Madness, the other for NASCAR. My boyfriend is turning me into a jock... oh the horror!!!
How good of a sweet talker am I?
I am currently trying to talk the man at the leasing office let Ace and me move in early. I know, only 3 more days, but I can't friggin wait!! I hate the hell-hole we currently call home, and these last few days are killing me.
I swear I'd go all night tonight without sleep if it meant I got to move in early. Come on dude, let us in!!
Happy Weekend everybody!
Just want to tell everyone to have a great weekend. In exactly 1 week we get to sign our lease on the house and start moving... pics to come.
Everybody enjoy the weekend, relax, and have fun. XOXOXOX
Ta Da!!
I got my bloggy back bloggy back bloggy back...
Thanks to Blogger!
Here's Manders!!
Who do I look like?
So Ace took a picture of me from Christmas, put it into some facial recognition software, and guess who I look like?
Mariah Carey, Maria Sharapova & Lisa Kudrow.
Now, those of you who know Ace know that he is absolutely in love with Mariah Carey. So now I know why he loves me... lol
Giggly at work
Lately work has been the most boring place. If I didn't need the money, I would probably only be here for an hour a day. Seriously, I'm going farking crazy.
We sit here, we make jokes, we laugh, we forward stupid emails, we go outside and watch the guys play basketball.
Saying it that way actually makes it sound fun. Well, it's not. It sucks. I feel so non-productive that I'm going bananas.
Sucks guys, sucks. Oh, and T-minus 10 days on the house.
It's official...
We got the house!
That's it, all I wanted to say.
I hate stupid people...
Here's a story to end a lovely week:
First a bit of backstory, for those of you who don't know. Ace and I had separate apartments, then moved into a joint one in the same complex.
Ok, we are waiting for the apartment management to fax the new leasing company our rental history, stating we haven't been late with any rent payments, and left the last place in good shape. Easy, right?
Yesterday they faxed everything on our current apartment, but not the previous ones we held individually. So I called the office, and she told me she needed our last day of occupancy at the old place before she could pull our rental history.
Now, she knows we transferred to a new one, so logically, wouldn't the last day at our old place be one day before our first day at the new place? I mean, we moved from one, straight to another. If she knows our move in date at apartment 2, shouldn't she know the move out date at apartment one?
Good lawd...
House hunt 2006....
Well we're still waiting on an approval on the house, however we are putting down a refundable deposit to hold it. That way no one else can swoop in because they will take it off of the website and out of the Sunday paper. Hopefully we will find out before the end of the day.
I'm signing up for a NASCAR fantasy league, I think that will be pretty cool. As long as I win. Nothing like beating some guys at sports to boost a girl's ego! lol...
I'll spend this weekend playing with the pups, all while earning extra cash. And packing up ghetto apartment we've hated living in for the last 6 months. I can't wait to get out of that place...
That's about all folks, have a wonderful weekend. And I'll keep you updated on HouseHunt, 2006!
