Monday RAW Adventure

So excited, me and the kid, are heading to Monday night RAW this coming Monday.
Yes, i watch wrestling and i like it ALOT!!!!
It isn't reality t.v. and it isn't so scripted that i have to give it a ton of thought either.
and it isn't UFC or MMA where there's real blood and guts all the time.
It's enough cheesy and physical that it meets my happy medium of mind numbing entertainment.
I go to enjoy it.

I go to forget that i got a pay cut last year that wiped out my last 6 years of raises.
I go to yell and scream and act goofy.
I go to look at the man candy.
I go to forget that most of the time my life is exceptionally boring.
I don't do much in the way of entertainment.
I seldom go out.

I'm going to start working on paying down my debt.
I'm going to focus on credit cards, there's only 2 so that I want done in 6 months.
Then i'm going to work on the car.
After the car is paid off I'm going to hit my last student loan.
Then my kid's car and student loans.
I'm hoping within 2-3 years with the exception of the home and of course our monthly bills like electricity to be debt free.

so entertainment will be scarce.
i have enough scrapbooking stuff to keep me busy for ages.
plus, now with scripture study class and church activities which are free that should be keeping me busy.
but i do love seeing the super hero movies on the big screen.
you really can't be that, the big ultimate screen with the surround sounds are awesome, but i really want to be debt free.
student loans for my daughter are already near $50K and she just informed me she wants to get her masters.
ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm so proud, i'm so proud, i am so proud!

but it so expensive.

so if i can start paying on them now and maybe by the time she gets that masters she will owe little to none on it that would be awesome.
now i know why God only blessed me with one child.
i do so much for her and i would do that for all my children i would need millions to raise more than one, lol.

we are blessed.

we have everything we need and most of what we want.

not that we have expensive taste. i get so excited when i buy a book. really i do. i'm such a geek.

i'll be the woman on raw with a roman reigns rocks sign and on the back it will say Hi Dad it's SIS!!!

family fun and melt downs

just wrapped up 2 nights with family staying over, my 2 neices, their mom, and her mom (gab's aunt and grandma) it was filled with fun, laughter, and a few melt downs. it's hard to believe that no matter how old you get that when you get tired you get cranky. alex and i had to take a nap after our big mall adventure. every part of my body hurt. but i didn't spend that much money.

then linz twisted her ankle about 10pm last night and sounded like she was dying, less then 30 minutes later she's out cold. amazing how much a twisted ankle hurts when you are tired on top of it. i haven't heard her cry that much since she was 2 and now she's 11.

my headache and kink in my neck finally went away.

we did have fun, don't get me wrong. i love them. we laughed, played wii, watched dude, where's my car and steel magnolia's. there was plenty of gas humor. we had pizza's and cake. but 6 woman from the ages of 11 to 60 all in one house with only 3 bathrooms, it get's touch and go sometimes.

i hope they get home safely and visit again in a couple of months.

completion

the move is officially over. the keys and garage door opener were handed in yesterday afternoon. now i got to wait to see how much it's going to cost me for "damage" which is another way of saying "we can tell you lived in the place" i hope it's not too much or it could seriously wreck some x-mas plans, but oh well, shit happens.

still got crap in the garage that needs put away. i'd like to be able to park in the garage by sunday. i hate parking outside, it's such a pain. i had to scrape the windows the other day. i do not like to do that. and my car is really old, so it needs babied to keep running. i cannot afford a car payment at the moment.

got our harry potter tickets for the ultra screen on sunday. but i didn't know my kid had a 1pm call in. she's going to ask at her saturday shift if they would please not need her. i told her i'm going to harry potter with or without her. sorry, but tickets bought online are non-refundable!

i have a bruise under my left big toe nail! must have dropped something on it or stubbed it while moving. i don't really remember anything major hitting my foot, but when moving at a frenzied pace you kinda suck it up and keep going. it really has bothered me the last couple of days tho, makes shoes hard to wear. it's a big bruise too, hope i don't lose my toe nail. i've done that before, my thumb, when i was little, and it's too gross.

Sometimes it sucks to be a woman!

So I am treating my dad to a father's day weekend outing. He comes up Friday night so we can leave for the Columbus Zoo first thing in the morning to get a full day in. We go to eat some pizza, then we go see Toy Story 3. All is well. Dad is happy. We call it a night.

I wake up. Weather is so nice. A great breeze blowing, no rain in sight, it's not too hot. After taking Sophie to the dog park for 30 minutes, I get home and we get moving to the Zoo. The Zoo was great until around NOON!!! High NOON!!! The breeze vanishes it. The heat cranks up 15 degrees and the humidity doubles. We are all hot and sweaty. Zoo is not so much fun anymore. My hips are just aching. I feel like I'm going to puke. We stop to take a bathroom break around 1:30 after teh Gorilla's. My monthly gift has arrived from mother nature!!! Sometimes it sucks to be a woman!!!
Luckily, my dad is very understanding. The zoo was closing early at 3 anyway. We tried to go to the austraila exhibit and I just couldn't go any further. It was 2pm. so we all agreed to pack it up and head on out.

We went to City BBQ and had some chocolate ice cream next door at Graeter's. All was well. We got home. Dad loaded up and headed home. I don't think it was a bad trip, but it could have been better. I told Dad the zoo would be perfect if it was all insided and air conditioned!!! He thought that was funny.

Dad did have a interesting encounter with a silver back gorilla. He thought that was cool. The gorilla snuck up behind dad and when dad turned around looked at him and their eyes met the gorilla slammed his shoulder into the glass. It made a huge boom like a clap of thunder. Dad jumped and little girls screamed. The gorilla looked quite pleased with himself.
