OMG ive been sick all week. I dont know what it is. Is it a cold? Is it just sinuses...or those pesky allergies people i nthe tennessee valley develop after being here a few years! I FEEL LIKE CRAP! And I look worse!
Tomorrow is Huddle Up...its T-Mobile's community service/outreach program. We work with the Boys and Girls Club of Tennessee. Im excited...giving back is always so fullfilling. I will report back later on what I did. I promise Im not just doing it for the free t-shirt, breakfast, lunch and snack.
We are going to the St. Louis area this weekend to celebrate Quenton's grandmother's 80th birthday...they are giving her a surprise birthday party and I have no idea what to get her for a gift! I always buy silk scarves in these situations...I mean you cant go wrong with them. Older people like to wear them with suits...younger people like to tie them around their heads. Its a multifunctional accessory for goodness sake!
Ok Im starting to feel the benadryl I prescribed myself...Im going to sleep so good!

Say Cheese
So I broke my camera. Im really upset right now because I dont have extra money to buy a good...cute...small one. Now I have nothing but my lame camera phone that takes horrible pictures. On top of the fact that I am getting a blackberry curve (me and Q) so I guess that will have to be my camera. Really wish I could get a new camera though!
See I took this pic with my camera...it looks all blurry and lame.
So im planning a bridal shower for Melissa and a baby shower for Jessica. And trying to make it to Barbados for Melissa's wedding. Im going to working alot of overtime starting November 18. Hope I can get enough money to do everything I want to do. But Im not going to stress myself out about it.
Maybe I can win a camera at work. Or win a cell phone and sell it for a camera. Nah I want a new ipod so if I get a camera good...if i get a phone im selling it for an ipod. No I need a camera...no I need an ipod! OMG im so confused!
Alot of people got laid off at my husbands job. He was spared...and Im grateful to God for that.

Weekend Work Up
So Thursday night we went to 3rd & Lindsley to hear a co-worker play. The band who opened for him rocked. I was super impressed. Q and I were really impressed. The were called Kennedy (click here to hear them on their myspace)...
Im not doing much this weekend. We will be having the Smiths over for football tomorrow. I will probably make some sort of rotel dip with tortilla chips and a dessert. Im thinking banana pudding...but I like it to sit over night and I havent gone to the store or prepared it so thats probably not going to happen.
We put our couch covers back on...our couch looked so bad. I can't wait to get new furniture one day. Hopefully we can get this picture hung before I get grey hair! Its been sitting by the television since we got it.
Darn its Sunday already. I was hoping the weekend would last a little long. I wont be getting any extra days off until Thanksgiving...hopefully I dont have to work the day after...it will suck to go down home (Q's grandmothers) and then have to turn right back around and come back! But we will see..keep your fingers crossed that I wont have to work!
Signing off...

Sucking @ it...
Sooo....I suck at life. Yeah I do. I suck at eating right and working out. I suck at work. I suck at sticking to a budget for long periods of time. Generally I am a loser.
Ok now that the self loathing is done I will continue with my blog.
This weekend we went to J. Alexanders for an expensive slice of cow. Mine had a tropical flair...Steak Maui to be specific. Its was mediocre at best. Hubby had NY Strip...it was super crispy on the outside bleeding on the inside even though he asked for medium well. Then he got some mac and cheese which was more like velveeta shells and cheese alfredo style. It was aight. We should have gone to Flemmings. We wont make that mistake again.
After that dinner, I decided to go ahead and cook. To quench my desire for a good meal. Made Spinach Lasagna. OMG I thought it was so good and rich. It was my first time attempting a spinach only recipes.
I know this picture sucks...like I do. But i toook it with my camera phone. Why (In case you were wondering)....WELL my flippin' expensive camera broke! AND I CANT FIX IT! So I will have to do the best I can until I get a new camera. This looked way better in person...bright and colorful and GREEN! Like a christmas lasagna!
Anyways. I bought a ped egg...it worked really good. I love it! Shout out to Q's mom for suggesting it. Ok well she was talking to one of her sisters and I was listening in on the conversation and decided to get one.
Am I the only one who can't read self help books to the end. The get repetitve after the 7th chapter. I really wanted to finish Good to Great but the fire has dwindled down to ash. I wont be finishing that book....ever.

Respect My Game
Oh my goodness...I just realized that I am so boring. I had no idea that I would just go to work and go home. The most exciting thing I did today was try to figure out a way to make my husband laugh. I failed miserably but I have until I fall asleep to make it happen.
I love the time we spend before we go to sleep. Laughing and talking. Sometimes we laugh so hard my head and/or stomach aches. Isn't that wonderful. I know this blog is about me but I never talk about my husband. Ok...I'm lying. I always talk about him because he is great.
So he has turned me on to football. I'm a fanatic in the worst way. I am uuber competitive so I want the teams I like to win. And I want Q's fantasy team to win too...and I hate it when it doesn't win (he won the championship last year). Not like if I had my own team it would win. Because Im a novice at this football thing. The thing I love and hate about football is that you can't call it. So many factors determine who will win and who will lose but at the same time...none of those things matter because until the very end...its anyones game. Anyone can win.
I love that concept. Anyone can win...even the team that everyone said wouldnt win because they had everything (the odds) stacked against them. I loved the Giants Superbowl win last year...they beat a team that was undefeated the whole season and the Giants didnt get an ounce of respect until they actually won that final showdown of the season.
Life is like that.
But I want to say one thing. Never count me out. I might be down at times, statistically other teams may be better than me. But I am just flying under the radar. Before you know it...I will be in the playoffs and you will be wondering how I got there. So busy counting me out that you didnt prepare for me! You didnt watch any of my game footage...you didnt give me any credit for earning my spot. But Im coming for you. Im coming for the trophy and the ring. Im fighting for that number one spot.
I dont know how my post about my boring life turned into this...I was totally rambling. I know I sound like the crazy homeless person on the corner talking jibberish but whatever. Thats what a blog is for. Tune in to my next post titled "Defense Wins Games!!!"

La La La La Booom Boom Choo
Yeah I couldnt come up with a title so I just types whatever popped into my head. Its funny but I was actually singing it. Im so extremely corny. For real.
Yesterday was so fun. I woke up and decided I wanted to go to the movies to see the Tyler Perry movie. So I begged Q to go with me. We got there watched a movie and decided we wanted to see another one so we did! We saw Burn After Reading and it was HILARIOUS. The Tyler Perry was good but not as good as Burn.
We went to Mimi's Cafe for dinner, it was lackluster and uninspiring. Icing had a killer sale 10 items for 10 bucks. I went crazy but only spent ten bucks. I got necklaces, earrings, a bracelet, a headband and a nail file. Please don't question my choices...headbands are so back in right now its not even funny!
I need to go to the grocery store. I have decided that grapes and nectarines will be my thing this week. I'm going to put them in baggies so all I have to do every day is grab one and be out! What are you doing to make eating healthier a reality????
