Happy Hour Friday

Woo Hoo! I love Happy Hour any day, but Happy Hour Friday is a good way to look back at the past week and see how good life is. I have been pretty crabby this week, and I'm not sure why (well, other than the obvious). I had several comments on my Rant and Rave that it was all rants and very few raves! Hahaha that made me laugh. I'm actually usually a pretty happy person. I think I just need to focus on some good stuff. Are you ready to get in a good mood??

• Earlier in the week my youngest caught me at a weak moment and asked me if I'd take her and a friend to Six Flags on Saturday. I said yes (GASP). I hate parks like this. The problem is that ever since I was pregnant -- with HER -- I get so motion sick it ruins my day. I get car sick, sea sick, roller-coaster sick... I can even get car sick when I'm driving! How silly is that?! I can be on the calmest lake and still I feel like puking. If someone is kicking my seat at a theater I want to barf. It's that bad. Needless to say, I don't want to spend $36 to walk around and do nothing.  So where's the good news? Youngest daughter and her friend are old enough to be dropped off, then hubby and I are going to spend the day together. I'm not sure what we are going to do, but it'll be just the two of us. And hopefully some PDA... 

• Season opener of Gray's Anatomy. Dr. McDreamy. Need I say more? Now if I could just get him into a kilt...
  

• Cake. My youngest daughter is making a cake. This actually makes me not happy because now I'm going to have to eat it. A lot of it. Every time I walk by it I'll have to snag a bite or two. I really like cake. Maybe even ice cream...Yummmmm... Of course you know that I'll be bitching about it on Wednesday.
• Since it's Happy Hour I'm just gonna stick my neck out there and say this: I like wine. I know, it's shocking. I'm a little surprised myself. At the moment I am enjoying one that we bought at Montelle Winery in Augusta, MO. Was it last weekend? Two weeks ago? Hell I can't remember. The point is, it's good!

•  Diana Gabaldon makes me incredibly happy. If you read my book post you should know that she is my very favorite author. Well, as you may recall, her new book is due out... wait for it... it's already out!! Hooray it came out on Tuesday!! Of course, I haven't started it (this part makes me sad) because when I found out that she had another book in the series I decided to go back and re-read all of them. Right now I'm on The Fiery Cross, then I'll read A Breath of Snow and Ashes, then the new one, An Echo in The Bone. So, I am waiting patiently, well, reading patiently and catching up on all the characters and what they have been doing. Plus, Zena already bought me the book, so I have to wait for it to come in the mail anyway (although I'll probably also buy it on my Kindle). Thank you Diana for giving me the fodder for many, many, many dreams. Jamie is so.... well, you know...

If you Google Jamie Fraser you get about a bazillion photos of what people think he might have looked like (you know had he been a real person, but for me he is real). Anyway, I looked thru a ton of them and he's just not there. They are all cheesy or ugly or not hairy enough. Sorry but my Jamie doesn't have a smooth chest. Anyway. Read the dang book and you'll get your own image of Jamie.

Ok. That's all I have for right now. Click on good ol' Mr. Linky. You know the deal. Go see Otin!!

Rant and Rave Wednesday and WTF Wednesday too!

Happy Hump Day everyone! Be sure to check out Little Ms Blogger for the Ranting and Raving,  it is all her fault! Then you can go check out Hit 40 for the WTF Wednesday because that's her fault!

**********************************************************
Rant: I can't decide if I should rant that kids put dishes in the dishwasher incorrectly or that they don't put them in at all, but since I ranted about this last week I'll just skip it. WTF??

**********************************************************
Rant: I always have a hard time deciding what to wear in the fall. I can't stand it when I see people wearing springy clothes in September. It's a pet peeve. I know, I know, I'm a bitch. I get it. But seriously, in September you can't wear a pink and yellow flowery shirt. It doesn't look right. You might as well wear black velvet on a hot and humid day in july.

Rant: I hate that it bugs me

Rant: Today I'm wearing capris (black) because it's warm out, I'm also wearing a short-sleeved shirt and sandals. I'm sitting in the pharmacy freezing my tushy off.

Rant: I can't think of a rave

**********************************************************
Rant: I really need to get some CE (continuing education) done, but I'm too busy playing on Blogger

Rant: I have until March to finish it which seems like a long time, but I have lots of hours to get done

Rave: It's pretty easy to do, it just takes some time. Plus I actually learn stuff ( I think that might be the point)

Update Rave: I just did 2 credits worth (woo woo!)

*********************************************************
Rave: Lunch is here! Woo woo!

Rant: How sad is it that I'm excited about a cheeseburger?

*********************************************************
Rant: Lunch is gone already.

Rave: It was probably one of the best cheeseburgers I've had in a long time.

Rant: I should have taken a photo. I don't think I should do that now tho.

**********************************************************
Rave: I got a super wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday. It is so wonderful and fabulous. I was over at Julochka's site and she had a little contest and I won!! She makes these fabulous stones and calls them something wonderful but I'm sure I'll screw it up so just go to her etsy site and see for yourself. She also put some Moo cards in there which we all know I totally adore!

Rant: (WTF??) The photo is blurry and I didn't realize it or I would have taken more, but oh well isn't it cool?!
*****************************************************************

Rant: WTF is up with my scale?? It's stuck on that same dumb ass number. I friggin hate it! And little Mister "it just takes will power oh and being sick with no appetite" has lost 10 freaking pounds! GRRR! Why does my life hate me??? WTF??

Rave: Oh there is NO rave when it comes to this crap!

****************************************************************
Rave: We were not busy at the pharmacy today so after looking at Julochka's site (did you click on it up there?) I got inspired and started looking thru a bunch of etsy stuff. I found (and bought) some cool stuff on this site. Here is one of the things I got:

It's a clock made out of recycled computer circuit boards! This isn't the exact one I bought, but it's close.

Rant: The only thing I can think of is that I can't blink my eyes and make it appear in my hand!

************************************************************

I think that's it for me today. WTF??
