I saw lonely tonight

 Tonight after cooking an amazing dinner…for myself I realized how much this really sucks. I know that we are supposed to be happy and proud of people when they accomplish things, get new jobs, etc.  but this really sucks. After spending one whole hour a week with my counselor I have really learned many things about myself. One being  that I have never  really relied on anyone else to actually be there for  me. I’m normally scared to rely on anyone being there. That doesn’t mean I don’t have a great support system. If you haven’t seen them you might check out the tab at the top of my blog THE PIECES TO MY PUZZLE (this page is currently undergoing some renovation) so please bare with me, some of my support system is in fact missing! I’m still redesigning it. But here is the deal. As great as a group I have standing behind me, tonight I feel like the one standing beside me is missing. I got to cook a fabulous dinner…for who? Myself…I am so proud of my handsome man, but I sure am missing him. Bottom line. I miss my best friend. My puppies are here but its just not the same. He is off  working his little booty off and I am very, very, so very proud of him and all he does for me. He is so busy so I don’t get to talk to him much…grrr. Well I guess I will stop whining and find something to do

Now, I’m sure you are wondering what i'm talking about. Well for years I have drank dr peppers, and i've drank a lot of them. Recently I got a pretty bad kidney infection and every since then Casey has given me a hard time about drinking dr peppers. I haven’t bought any dr peppers for the house in about 3 weeks. I have tried to not drink as many, but I have had the WORST headaches, and all day long! I have to wake up and take advil because I still have a headache from not consuming enough dr peppers the day before.

Can you say MANIC…well you know the rest!

Well friends, it’s been a couple of days since I’ve been on here but vie been a busy girl.

Friday as soon as I got off work we went to the store we should never go to…Lowes!

Hard work came next! We were going to pour a cement edge for the neighbor’s fence next door so that wouldn’t have anymore tug of war incidents with the neighbors animals.  Friday night was of normal routine dinner 5:30 pm at Harvest Moon and then a chill night. Saturday we got to sleep in and then we began to pour more concrete.

 Next a break and a phone call Casey had been waiting for, good for him, sad for me. But I had to hold my head up and enjoy my last day and a half with him. He practiced and Jackie and I played in the yard at our house. Sunday was filled with rushing and getting him ready to leave…. (My least favorite thing of all, Him leaving is never a thing I enjoy.) We had Lunch with the family at Chicken Express before babe took off.  

A trip to Abilene, to pick up our new pool table that Tom and Jackie got us! And another trip to lowes on the same weekend…can you imagine how broke I am? And what I might be doing with my time…I might need my second job back in order to help support my Lowes addiction. 

Ugh! Why doesn’t MONEY grow on TREES! My mom and dad met us at our house to help unload it and set it up! Tom headed out shortly after and the rest of us just kind of worked around our house. I am thankful that they were here to keep my company yesterday. They sure helped keep my mind off Casey having to be gone again, for awhile. Sunday night ended with me cleaning up the house and trying to wind down and not think about the house being so quiet and the TV being turned down so low. The puppies were even a little sad and slept soundly until we all overslept this morning.

My manic Monday was just the same as both of them…I woke up early to make sure and give Casey a good luck, I love you, and to say a quick little prayer that the lord would do what’s best for him and us and hopefully “Our Future” I fell back asleep without even setting an alarm and slept until 7:57. Can you hear the panic on my face & trying to scurry around and get everything taken care of! Geeez! GREAT way to start a Monday! But I shortly tried to turn it around by checking on all this expecting mothers in my life, made some baby shower plans, and even working on a great surprise! I can’t wait! So after my nap this afternoon because my head felt like it would soon explode you can guess what I’m doing...GETTING IDEAS! Guess I should cook myself some dinner and get my little booty to bed! Even though I know I’ll be spending quite a bit of time by myself with the puppies, I am proud of my babe and his new job! Goodnight all!

Until next time...MissWhit

April 19, 2007

Taks day of my sophomore year was already going to be something I wanted nothing to do with… but little did I know it would end up being one of my worst possible nightmares too. There I sat patiently waiting to be released from my arch enemy teachers classroom from taking my horrific taks test when the intercom buzed and asked for me to come to the office. I was already wondering what was going on because I knew I didn’t have anything pressing to do that day. I remember it being the longest walk to the office to find out what they needed from me. But when I walked into the office I immediately knew something life changing was coming my way. My grandparents at 16 years old were there to pick me up from school. I knew this wasn’t good. I began screaming and crying for someone to tell me what in the world was going on when my mimaw started to tear up and told me my Gram had passed away in the night. From that second on I kinda sorta left the earth because I couldn’t quite grasp to me what she had said. My Gram was…one of the most important people in my life and I just wanted it to be a dream. I couldn’t even understand why or what or anything for that matter. What was even worse was My dad hadn’t told my Mom yet and I was just stuck waiting at my grandparents (whom I love with all my heart) but I felt helpless. My mom needed me. She needed us all. She needed all the strength and support she could get. This next few days leading up to the Funeral was a total haze. I know that she was with the Lord, but I still didn’t understand why he took her so soon. She had so much left to do, so many golf games to play, so many beers to drink, so many trips to take, so many things to watch us do. I couldn’t understand.

5 years ago my whole life changed. Sometimes I still think and feel like I just haven’t seen her in a very long time. That she will walk through my door and tell me how proud she is of me and the things I have worked so hard for, to bring me a cheesy baked potato from Mesquite Bean, to say “well….lets make a move, or wanna go for a drive. She taught me to drive a standard. She worked so hard to teach me and It took me forever. She bought me my first set of GOOD golf clubs. She let me come stay with her and drive her around the golf course while she played a round with her friends. They were all partners in crime, fun, trips and some amazing golf playing. I miss it. I miss it all. I miss her making me pitch or hit over and over again because I needed to practice. Or her getting impatient because I wasn’t quite getting it. But she was determined to teach me. She would tell me to walk…that meant I was fixing to get roped. She would tell Rex her border collie to load up and that meant we were headed somewhere. Every Sunday she didn’t miss keeping time for the roping… life just isn’t the same.

Don’t get me wrong. MY family, mom, dad, laramy, mimaw, granddad, my Aunt Cara, Uncle Randy and Riley, extended family etc, are amazing but I miss my GRAM. I am very thankful to have grandparents like my mimaw and granddad who take up the slack for all of us but mainly my mom.

So what im here to tell you is PLEASE, don’t take a day with someone you love for granted for you make wake up with the worst nightmare of your life to realize they are gone..and you didn’t even get to tell them bye. The last conversation you have may consist of… “ No mom isn’t here,” “you can call her on your cell phone” and a hang up. I don’t even remember if I told her I loved her or when they last time before that I had seen her. So please don’t take a second for granted. Its been 5 years.

 Love you Gram,


Today and everyday we CELEBRATE YOU!

UgH oH!

UGH OH.

Over the last several months we have been having a problem with chickens digging under our fence. It didn’t ever really matter because my dogs stayed in the house all days. Until about two months ago we decided that the dogs would NO LONGER stay in the house and create any more problems. All has been fine and well we have not had many escapes from Prince and Tig really enjoys being outside. Last week Casey brought them home a pool since it was getting hot.

Today has been a crazy day filled with some work, a nap, eating some pizza, and then to get busy on my housework. Lots and lots and lots of… Laundry, sweeping, mopping floors and cleaning carpets. Casey left yesterday and I kind of hoped to cook dinner tonight. I had began thawing the meat and got out the potatoes and realized that I was about out of flour. I immediately went over to the pantry and began pouring some flour when I heard the sound I hoped I would never hear…

THE SOUND OF A DYING DISTRESSED Chicken… I opened the back door to see both of my PRECIOUS, HARMLESS big and little dog playing Prince’s all time FAVORITE game, can you guess??

If you guessed TUG OF WAR or in this case…CHICKEN? OHHH SHIT.

I immediately  starting screaming at both dogs. Our big child ran very far, because he HATES to get in trouble…but the little younger child kept right on. He had managed to get the chicken down on the ground while standing on top of him & fighting this chicken. Yes you heard me. I witnessed Prince being EVIL. A killer…so sweet and precious. NOPE my dogs could very well be natural killers.

Thankfully I did get Prince off of the chicken and he escaped. I’m not sure if the chicken will live but I sure hope that we never have to witness my sweet puppies being so ruthless ever again.

OK, Ok I can't even hide it

" I swear I'm Sorry it his his idea"

TRIP Tuesday

Today would normally consist of tasty Tuesday and you would get a little recipe idea of my choice... but today just wasn’t a food day for me.

SO here it goes... we will call today

TRIP Tuesday

Every once in a blue moon we all kind of wonder where it is our life is taking us? Right? Well I am the worlds worst at trying to make things happen. And I know that, the lord does not want it that way. He wants us to follow his lead and wait for what he sends our way. Each night when I lay down I ask the lord to lead me in his way. I know which way I hope that it takes me. And every once in a blue moon I wish I could take a trip. Clear my head, heart, mind and take a deep breath to look at my life and where I have made it to.  So tonight after a long day and knowing the end of this week will be even longer and harder I think about a trip away. A trip where I can look at life and know its going exactly where I pray everyday it continues to go. I know that I can get frustrated and we all go through big trials but god does have a plan. And I also tell myself that if something isn’t working... chances are its not what im supposed to be doing.

Id love to jump in  a beautiful classic car and take a trip...

Sunday...FUNDAY

A little Sunday FUNDAY action here at my house consists of little "house wife" duties without being a house wife at all!

I have been kind of depressed since our little house fire last Tuesday night. It really has had me sick & I don't want to be in my house. I know things happen but geez talk about discouragement! So today I have finally decided to bite the bullet and try and not be sad anymore!
I put the old stove back in its place and began to clean up! I also sealed the grout on our new living room floor! An afternoon snack & fast and the furious is what's happening now! Yes I guess I kinda do live a boring little life...but I'm pretty sure I enjoy it! Oh & did I mention laundry and pest killing! Geeez my rat killing list is a mile long! (not real rats, btw)

WORN out WEDNESDAY!

Generally i plan out my blog weeks ahead of time, as did i this week. I was so excited about this weeks WEALTHY WEDNESDAY, but after certain circumstances last night and today. What your getting is well a different version. 

Last night i arrived home around 9 pm with lots of little Susie homemaker duties on the agenda...

• Laundry
• Tanning
• Cleaning Carpets
• sweeping 
• mopping floors 

ooooh & making my Sticky buns from yesterday's blog

But that definitely didn't happen. 

I started my oven & black smoke immediately filled my house. I automatically called Casey (in tears) and he headed home. I was pretty scared but the moment he yelled from the kitchen where our stove was on fire, to "Call 911" i panicked and pretty much began to hyperventilate. Steve and Casey were able to get the fire somewhat out pretty quickly. In 8 minutes from the time that i called 911 the fire trucks were here and in full force trying to figure out what had happened. Two hours later  we were in the house cleaning up the mess left behind. We moved the stove out last night and i tried to sleep. Awaking this morning to talk to my boss about what had happened and getting the insurance company on the phone. LONG day of cleaning and still kinda being in shock i managed to mow the yard and thank the lord that it wasnt as bad as it could have been.My family and friends and my babe there no matter what. Last night was terrible but could have been ten times worse. Thanking the LORD. 

Goodnight all.

Sticky Buns?

Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring

2 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits OR 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 C. pancake syrup (any brand you like, I used Mrs. Buttersworth)
1/3 C. packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans, optional
1/4 C. chopped almonds, optional


Instructions:
Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired). Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top. Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges (closely together) to form a ring. Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then invert onto a serving platter and enjoy!

Manic Monday

Even at the end of this manic Monday all I have to say is....

I love this guy!
& the rest doesn't matter!



-until next time...Miss Whit

Yes, you may call me the sappy type

Normally this post would be SUNDAY FUNDAy...but today is a little different.

Why? You ask!
Well it's Easter-a day no one should take for granted because if it weren't for our lord & savior we wouldn't be here! Jesus made the biggest sacrifice of all.
we spent our day with both families for lunch at Perinis & then for napping and the masters at my grandparents house! Hope everyone had a blessed day!

Now on to the rest of my post.

Casey will probably make fun of this pretty quick but oh we'll I'm sometimes a hopeless romantic! (majority, let's get real!) We have traveled back n forth to Abilene several times and seen families or couples out taking pictures In the bluebonnets! I have enjoyed watching and seeing all these beautiful pictures of everyone on Easter Sunday and especially in the bluebonnets! (so there you know my secret) I'm in love with photographs! They truly show the happiness on people's faces and in their heart. If I had the talent I would give anything to be a photographer! It's always been a huge dream of mine...(dream on right!) Also today I am thankful for the fact that so many of my beautiful friends are expecting children of their own & I can be apart of if all! As many of you know my love for children grows by the day!(once again. Yes I know. I'm getting soft.)

So since there are no bluebonnet pictures here a gorgeous one I happened upon! Happy Sunday all!

Funky Friday

IT'S SO NOT ME IT'S CUTE!

This Thoughtful thursday

Thoughtful Thursday

My thoughts for this Thursday should probably be kept to myself… but on another note.

How well do you really know me?

Let me ask you? On a scale from ONE to TEN : Where do you think you land?

(Lately I have really been looking into and studying myself at a deeper level than is really comfortable. But in order to become the person I long to be: It’s a must.)

SOOOOOOOOO

(I bet I can answer the question in only a matter of a few seconds)

Most of you know me about a five because I never open up enough to let you really get in my head.

Some of you know me at a deeper level of more like a seven and truthfully that’s about as close as ill get you get.

I can probably say that no one knows me to a ten, because this is where my problem lies. I will not let anyone break down that barrier totally because it leaves me open and vulnerable.

I am working very hard for some special individuals to be able to know me at a deeper level and it will really be a stretch and out of my comfort zone. (But the relationships do serve a greater purpose in my life, so I do believe the stretch and discomfort will be rewarding and worth it at some point.)

If your close and want to know me to a deeper level I need your help and we can achieve this. BUT I will need your help too: to know that the risk of me letting the layers be peeled back and for me to be completely open and vulnerable that you’re willing to understand me and my effort.  

Another thought for the day: someone said this very well “We should tend to our own rat killing”

So today: “ill be tending to my own rat killing.”

Wealthy Wednesday

I am all about finding ideas that don’t BREAK THE BANK.

Don’t get me wrong I normally want the best of the best, because I believe I work hard enough to provide myself with it.

But lets face it. A lot of times we can do it cheaper and make it ten times more personable.

So here is going to be my project. But it will def be something in the making.

I will be taking a long coat closet in the living room of my house and making it into a small office. Never thought of that did you??

Neither did I until this weekend when I took the doors off so that we could prepare to knock out a wall and tile the living room floor.

It may be awhile before I have a finished picture of my new office because it must be perfect.

The things I will be on the look out for:

·         The perfect white paint

·         A beautiful vintage border

·         A small desk with drawers

·         Some shelving

·         Maybe even some wall décor

·         And a beautiful vintage chair

Besides the paint and maybe photos I want everything else to be from a thrift type store. To make the complete theme…just perfect.

These several images come from www.pinterest.com 

Just getting some ideas!

I love each of these styles and depending on the color's i choose it will be variations or i might even use a cute decoupage idea. OHHH but guess what i can do anything i need to! 

But remember thrifting ONLY from me this time! 

Project in Progress!
