True story

Its a true story...

that after working at my job for a few weeks I finally got brave enough to venture into our break room (it's literally 15 ft from my cube), where I discovered our ice machine. Ah-mazing. I'm talking epic.

And it's a true story that I filled a cup up of ice before I left one day just so the husband could fully experience it's awesomeness.

He wasn't near as thrilled as I was.

It's a true story that when leaving the bathroom stall I open the door, flush the toilet and run away quickly.

I've heard those suckers can splash 7 ft!
I don't know about you but I'm not gonna risk it.

It's a true story that my husband got me a present that came in the mail today. But apparently I can't have it until he gets home AND he told me not to look around the living room too much, because that's where it's at.

Really? Why would you tempt me like that?

It's a true story that my husband is great. I'm sure your dying to know why I'm getting a present...?
Just to say thanks for taking care of him when he was sick!

Maybe I should leave out the fact that I'm the one who got him sick.... oops.


It's a true story that although I worked out after work today, I just ate my weight in saltine crackers.
Crap.

Traffic Report

There are giant thunderstorms rolling into Ft. Worth as we speak, so naturally people driving. freak. out. And when I say they are 'rolling in' that means they aren't here yet, meaning everyone decided to freak out about the measly 40mph winds and the looming prospect of a storm.



I say measly because when your from West TX, 40 mph winds is a nice day. In the DFW they put out wind advisories and tell everyone to hold on to their babies and their panties and take cover.

Needless to say, traffic sucked.

I've decided to look on the bright side of this crap situation and point out the.....

Good things about traffic

1) I take a not so convenient but different route out of downtown and the cool factor of downtown Ft.Worth never ceases to amaze me.

2) I get more time to jam in my car. and I looove jammin in my car. I wish I could say I unashamedly sing and dance, but I don't, instead I shamedly (??) sing whenever I'm not passing anyone. And maybe make little dancing hands under the steering wheel where people can't see me (they can probably see me).
-Because ya know, I might just see the person in the car next to me again and they are going to judge me for singing in my car....

What I should be more concerned about is the guy at my apartment complex that saw me taking this of myself.....



3) Having gas in my tank and not being in a hurry to get anywhere

So there it is....me, being positive.

Take note, it doesn't happen often.

Pick one.

In case your wondering why I never write anything on here, I like to wait several months between each of my posts, I feel like it keeps the suspense going for the 3 people that might actually read this blog.

Anyway...

Through-out the day I continuously think of awesome things to blog about but I never actually do, until today. I just thought this conversation was too epic not to share....(and honestly, Shelby and I could be the only ones who think its funny)

Actual texts between the husband and myself:

Last night...

Haley: Can we get a 3-legged cat named Billy Bob? Oooor a hairless Chinese crested mix puppy?

(I was bored and looking at animals on Craigslist)

For you viewing pleasure, Billy Bob the cat:



And for even more viewing pleasure, Gargoyle. The very hairless Chinese crested mix puppy:



Adorable right?! I mean, how could you possibly choose between the two? A cat with 3 legs or a hairless dog. Maybe we should get them both!

Needless to say, Shelby never answered my text, until our conversation today....

Haley: Can I get a $35 car detailing coupon?

Shelby: No.

Shelby: We have no money.

Haley: Babe, it's either that or Billy Bob the cat...you choose.

Haley: Babe, I think I need that desk and those barstools from Craigslist

(Don't tell me these aren't awesome...because they are)



Shelby: One chair costs $100! I choose Billy Bob.

Haley: But he's old and will probably die soon...barstools last forever!

Shelby: Barstools can't love you back like a 3-legged cat.

Haley: This conversation is awesome.

So maybe I'm the only one who thinks this conversation was great. Although, if you don't, you are probably lame...I'm just sayin.

High Risin'

So I have yet to talk about my new job (that's not so new anymore) at a fancy pants corporate office. I spent 1 year in the store in Lubbock but around 6 months of being there I decided I wanted to pursue a position at the home office. Shelby and I decided we were going to move to Ft. Worth whether I got a job or not (yes, we are super responsible)but just days before we moved I got a call from HR letting me know that I got the job in Store Operations. God has some pretty sweet timing! So for the sake of bragging, here is the sweet building I get to work in everyday...(except today, it's my day off)



Please ignore that fact that this picture
was taken through my car window.




This was my first day at work and
I clearly overestimated the amount of time
it would take to get there.
I was close to 45 minutes early.

So obviously there was nothing else to do except take pictures of my 'nervous face'.
Ignore the weird angle, I had to hold my camera so the guy sitting
in his car next to me wouldn't see me taking pictures of myself
and think I was weird.
