Just in case you were not sure if this weekend is a holiday weekend or not. Ask yourself the following questions: Has the price of gas gone up since yesterday? Why yes it went up 21 cents. Did you see more police cars on your way home than usual? Again, yes I saw 4 when I usually see one or less.
My big weekend plans are to spend time with Josh and his parents. I believe they are already in town. (Oh, Josh end up with pnemonia that stemmed from bronchitis which stemmed from strep throat. He is no longer contagious and should be able to return to work on Monday.) They will be heading back to North Carolina on Sunday. I was supposed to go home this weekend but with the rise of gas prices I decided to stay here.
A little side note to Tabetha who is flying with Ayla (who loves to fly) and Sophie (who hasn't flown in an airplane since she was born): I hope your flight went well.

Monday, Monday
Zala & SaharaThe roof is caving in! Oh, no it's the puppies running upstairs like they are in an auto race. They have been a little upset for the last day and a half because has locked himself in his room. On Sunday, Josh returned early from his camping trip with a 103 fever since his return he has been pumping himself with antibiotics, Nyquil, Goodies powder, and cough drops. He isn't feeling any better. I better not get this. I actually don't think I will get this because I think it has very little to do with a virus and more to do with the lifestyle he has been living the last few months.
Jeremy as Gulliver
One would think that Jeremy has know his family long enough to know that falling asleep in our present is a bad idea especially when it isn't bed time. Tisk, Tisk!
The beautiful birthday girl on her birthday present.
I have to admit the poor girl got jipped. She got clothes for her birthday but only because she is moving and clothes are easier to pack than toys. She was such a trooper she was so tired she wasn't tired and we made her open presents and eat cake. We are horrible people!
Hey, Baby!
I am very impressed with Ayla. She was able to stay clothes for the entire party. As soon as the party was over she was na-KED. The beautiful naked girl.
Well, I am going to head to the park for a walk. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hump Day Blues
I am not totally bumbed it's Wednesday. My week has been pretty productive. I returned from Asheville with a new view of my life and how to continue to improve myself. As I look back on the week so far I am curious as to what I have accomplished. Let's review....
Friday, I went to my first Kentucky State Fair here is Louisville. The plan was to meet a couple coworkers of Josh's since we were all EXCITED about seeing Boys To Men in concert. Who knew they were still around? Well, not all of them are still around but I will get into that later. We met Josh's coworkers and right from the start I felt my tact leavemy body. It was there when I got out of the car and when I eyed the coworkers and their gang the tact left me like a bad habit. As Josh and I left the Valu Mart to the fair I just looked at him. I am sure the Valu Mart sounds like a step below Wal Mart but it is actually a step up. He turned to me and said, "I guessed but I had no idea. We only have to hang out with them long enough to be polite." How long is "long enough to be polite"? Where is Ms. Manners when you need her? Josh strategically park at a separate parking lot claiming it would be easier to get out of later tonight. We met at the big fountain. Now, I have never been to a fair that was primarily inside so I was a little taken back. I was also unimpressed by all the normal looking people. I didn't even see one mullet and I was promised to see several. I ate a yummy corndog and we headed to the beer tent. After discussion about why neither Josh nor myself feel the need to drink beer. Well Josh discussed as I rolled my eyes. At the tent, I told Josh I was done. I think I did very well it only took 10 minutes for me to become irritated. Josh politely ditched the coworkers and we walked the exhibits. We showed up at the Boys To Men concert as they entered the stage. It was great to see them and see all the teenagers that knew their music. Oh, Boys To Men went from four guys to three but they still sound great.
Saturday was less eventful. I had lunch with potential new friend and explained how my dates in Louisville are numbered. He was obviously slightly hurt and taken back by the news but was a trooper about the situation. He gave me a cool comic book about Budism which is also written in Chinese.
Sunday is a blur so I have nothing to say about that.
Monday I received a funny picture of myself from one of the guys at work which I will attach tomorrow because apparently I forgot to send it to my personal email. UGH! Oh, I forgot to say that I met a Chiropractor at the fair who I decided to check out. Monday night I had my first adjustment with Dr. Lowe. It was a very up close and personal visit. He put my arms and legs in weird positions and I felt it afterwards. I did get good news from him which is my tail bone is not broke or fractured. Hurray! I probable did something to my L5 which is why I have butt pain. The other bad news is my neck is almost straight, my spine is curvy from left to right and my pelvic is twisted. Crap! The good new is $1500 will almost fix all of that. NOT! I only agreed to one visit a week. It isn't that I don't feel that the $1500 package isn't worth it but it isn't worth debt. The better news is he never gave me a speech about how I need to do the recommended visits, blah-blah, and never made me feel guilty about not having the money. It was a nice change of pace from my last chiropractor.
Tueday was a bore! And Hump Day felt more like Humpy Dumpty Day. The day took forever to get done as it is still not done yet. I am going to try a new workout routine tonight since I am still only sleeping 4 to 5 hrs a night. I am going to try running and walking in the hope that I will be so exhausted I will sleep. Keep your fingers crossed! The next time I write I will tell you about job prospects.

What does Friday mean?
At my job, it means you don't really have to show up if you are salary. At my insurance company, it means you only have to work until noon. For me, it means I get to sleep in tomorrow! Hurray!
Yesterday, was very uneventful. I finished most of my laundry. I tried out the new hammock which is quite lovely. I wish I had a hammock chair, though. Huff! (Where are the faces for this blog? I think I need faces.) I did a few home repairs like cleaned up the grout around my tub and cleaned off the paint from the tile around the bathroom. As I look around the freshly painted livingroom, I notice I am going to have to touch up the baseboards and fire place because Josh has trimming "down pat". I walked about 2.5 miles. I noticed last night that I sleep better when I walk as opposed to when I run. Who ever said I will never use the scientific method was wrong.
Back to today...my boss was in California today so I completely bored off my tushie. I, as usual, had all my work completed by 12 so therefore did a little college research. Did you know that the University of Pheonix on line degree is almost a $1000 a class? I mean seriously. Do the instructors come to your house and teach the class? I was doing college research because I was gypped by AB Tech. I should have 18 more credit than I do but AB Tech decided not to accept classes I took at Western Piedmont Community College. Now, I want to point out that those 18 credit are when I did the best I have ever done in college. Grh!

Neccessary Evil, I suppose
Well, apparently blogging is the new thing and I am way behind. Nothing new in my book. I have decided that this blog will be all truth and honesty. So, watch out readers. I know that "readers" translates to a few prime selected members of the human race. These readers, in my opinion, are the only people really worth talking to (and about) and if you asked them they would not deny this.
Today, I am feeling sad. I am sad because it dawned on me today that I really lost a 'friend'. Now, those of you reading, namely Tabetha, will say and I quote, "He wasn't really a friend." I would agree with her but he was a part of my life what ever label you would like to put on him. Our relationship was unhealthy for me and had to be changed. He was unwilling to change and so I had to move on. (What is that I hear? What about Josh? Rome wasn't built in a day, Tabetha!)
A side note, this blog will be full of grammatical and spelling errors-deal!
