About Me

My photo
I am a student just trying to graduate and living life. I have a wonderful family, great friends, and an awesome boyfriend. Oh and I have a precious pup that I love so much. I love reading a good book, playing board games/cards, and decorating for anything. Working out makes me feel so much better, but it's a battle everyday. I've been in school for what seems like forever and will finally graduate in May. I am also a firm believer in "Everything Happens for a Reason". All in all as its beens said plenty of times before- I'm not perfect BUT I'm me! :)

Ameritomy Peoractice

Where do I begin??
I have soo much to talk about-so bare with me! 
First off, it's Thursday and there's so much on T.V.  Does that make me sound old??  There's simply not enough hours in the evening to watch everything! There's...
American Idol
Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice
&
Swamp People
I don't necessarily watch Swamp People (as discussed previously), but it interferes with me watching my other shows.  
**
At work we've been moved to the kitchen because we are running out of rooms to put everyone.  There is a T.V. in the kitchen AND I get internet on my computer!  Talk about NOT getting anything done. (homework wise)  Sheesh.
**
I've noticed here lately that there are A LOT of wedding songs getting put out by various artists.  The only reason I mention this is because as I was tanning a new one came on the radio, one I've never heard.  There's Marry Me- Train; I Do Colbie Caillat; Marry You- Bruno Mars;  and I Can't Wait- Runner Runner (the one I just heard).  I have no idea what the deal is, but for those of you getting married this summer, there are plenty of songs out there!
**
Yesterday my grandpa turned 70! 
A major shout out to him-Happy Birthday ya old man!!!


** 
Also yesterday my sister got the shaft.  I feel like I should go back to Sunray and kick some Sunray booty!  Sorry sister, things will get better! Loove you!
**
Is there enough coverage on the Royal Wedding?? Seriously.  I think we need one more interview/T.V. channel to cover it/person to talk about it!
**
Whew!  Okay, I think I'm done now.  
Tomorrow is Friday AND Payday! 
Woot woot!

Easter Saturday?

YES, Easter Saturday.
 I celebrated Easter in Sunray, for those of you who didn't know, and we had Easter church on SATURDAY.
Yes, once again I said Saturday. It definitely threw me off not getting up Sunday morning on Easter Sunday to go to church.  However...the Easter bunny still visits our house and I'm glad he does cause I got lots of goodies.  I don't think my mom wants me to feel left out which is fine with me. ;)
I had to travel on back east on Easter Sunday and didn't leave till about 2:45.  I had a good 9 1/2 hour drive ahead of me.  I ran into some storms in Denton.  Talk about freaking out.  I definitely was.  I hate storms much less driving in them.  Ugh.  I made it back though...about 12:30-talk again about being exhausted Monday morning.  I think I literally rolled out of bed.
Anyway while I was home, I happened to receive a gift....







Yup, I got some BOBS, not TOMS.
I think they fit my personality just perfectly! I mean check out those sparkles!
To be honest, I never saw myself wearing a pair of these shoes.  To be even more honest, I didn't know Skechers had mimicked Toms with Bobs.  I guess I'm behind-which is not the norm.  
I wore them for the first time yesterday and I've already fallen in love.  They are so comfy!
Thanks mom! 

Back to the bad weather...we've been having tornadoes all evening!! Looks like we'll be getting hit all night!! *Sigh*  For those of you in the bad weather, keep safe!

Who Wears Short Shorts?

Aalllllriiiight.
So this is what's been going down.
I just got home yesterday.  I was completely dreading the drive because this was my first time to make the drive home with an additional two hours.  Surprisingly, the extra two hours didn't affect me too much. That would most likely be because I stopped in Panhandle to watch Mekenna run at her track meet.  I wasn't supposed to leave until 3ish Thursday, but they let me have the day off.  In that case, I attempted to surprise my mom, but my mom ruins everything.  She attempted to make me crack and it worked like a charm.  Later on at the track meet, both Lailee and I were out of our element.  Lailee was shaking it was so cold! 
That would probably be because she got a haircut...


Yes my dog is prissy and yes she has bows in her hair for all of you who didn't know.

Before we left, we obviously had to get gas.  Ever since gas has outrageously gone up, I have refused to fill up my car.  I would put $20-$30 in but seeing that we had a long trip to make we had to fill up...


You probably can't see that but $52?!?!?!? That's probably nothing for some of you, but for me?!
I used to could fill my car up on $36.  *sigh*
I should probably invest in flying next time. 

Speaking of our trip...
We made a pitstop in Wichita Falls to fill up once again and you would never believe what happened.
I had shorts on and while I was getting something to drink, an older guy (like 60's) was stocking up the shelves.  All the sudden I hear him whistling the tune to "Who Wear's Short Shorts".  I was like surely not...so I went on about my business.  As I walked passed him, he uttered, "Goodness, that's ridiculous".    I was like really? Is this complete stranger really trying to call me out?  I'm not one to judge what he's wearing so why does he have to judge me?! It kinda really made me mad.  Then it got me thinking...maybe I'm too "old" to wear shorter shorts.  I wanted to slap him upside the head, but went with a dirty look instead.  People these days...

Since I've arrived, it's been nonstop.  I arrived in Panhandle for Mekenna's track meet, drove the rest of the way home, was exhausted, slept, got up and went to Amarillo to get my haircut, came back home only to get in the car again to go to Dalhart for church.  Busy. Busy. Maybe tomorrow I can finally relax! :)

TLM X2

I hate to make another blog about Trevor, but don't worry it's not going to be a cheesy one.
Ever since I moved in I swear his arms are broken....that is until it comes to doing everything BUT inside housework.  It's hard to keep the house clean when I have a 2 year old with broken arms running around doing things such as...




Exhausting I tell you.
Not to mention Trevor slamming the door on my fingers in the car or the hard slams into my arm when the "slug bug" game is being played without my knowledge doesn't help any...
HOWEVER, the nice dinner we went to on Friday at Texas Street Tavern, the free concert we attended, the drinks, and the ice cream I had tonight all makes up for it.  I suppose it's all worth it... 
;)

P.S. 
Trevor found a guy to finish up the flower beds!!
Guy as in Eric's friend, Major.  He did great! They look amazing!! So props to him.
Trevor said today that, "the Jones' don't even know about this".

TLM

Well this weekend was about that time again...
About that time for another
ON. CALL. WEEKEND.
BLAH.
BLAH.
BLAH.
Just so you know "On-call-weekends", I hate you.  You make life miserable and weekends to be no fun and that makes Mekayla sad.  I must say that this specific on-call weekend wasn't too shabby.  We had to go out Friday night and didn't get home till 12:30, then again last night, but we got home like at 10.
I say we, but I'm not on call ooonly Trevor.  I don't have to go with him, but what else am I going to do??
I could do something else, but what do you do when your best friend is on call?  Yes, cheesy I know, but let's take a while to weigh my options...
Who do I hang out with on a daily basis... Trevor.
Who do I talk to everyday... Trevor.
Who do I argue with about stupid things... Trevor.
Who do I laugh with... Trevor.
Who do I tell everything to... Trevor.
Who do I do everything with... Trevor.

Let's face it.  Trevor has become my best friend. 

However, we're ending this on-call weekend with burgers and drinks on the patio, followed by a bike ride.  I'm making him go with me because I've been wanting to go for a while now. Yay for the ending of this weekend!!!

Blog Material

As you have all noticed I do not blog everyday like my dear friend Abby, but that's just because I feel as if I don't have much to say.  If I were to blog everyday, ya'll would get bored.  I have to keep ya'll on your toes.  Well today a blog must be posted. Because...something "blog material" happened tonight.
It was funny AND embarrassing for me.
So I usually tan/workout in the morning, but here lately my alarm clock has been failing me.  Making it by the time I naturally wake up, I do not have time to do anything, but get ready and make lunch before having to leave to work.  So today I opted for working out/tanning tonight.  
After I got done running, I went to check the tanning bed.  Trevor was like, "Just jiggle the door handle".  Which I was about to do until I realized the door was unlocked because it was cracked open just a tad. 
Cracked open just a tad, meaning the latch? was not secure in the hole.  
(I say latch? because I'm not sure that's what it's called)
Anyway, I grabbed the door handle and swung that door open, only to find....

ONE
BIG
WHITE
MALE
BUTT!

Naturally, I was embarrassed and kept walking as quickly as possible.
Now who was more embarrassed me or him who knows.  My bets would be on him. 
But as I was walking away, I heard the door shut and lock.  Guess he learned his lesson!

SPRING TIME!

Friday was the ol' April Fool's Day.
I definitely got April fooled. :(
I came to work Friday and was standing at the front, talking to my friend/coworker/neighbor, Misty.  Who is pregnant by the way.  About 8 mo. to be exact.  She's already been put in the hospital once for having contractions... You can only imagine where this story is going.
Uh huh.  She pulled the whole "my water is breaking" trick.  And my goodness did she do it well. 
We were carrying on a natural conversation when all the sudden she started crying and saying that she couldn't breath because her contractions were so bad.  TEARS! There were TEARS!
Then she shouted that her water just broke.  I was totally freaking out.
So yes, I was pranked by a pregnant woman thinking I was about to have to take her retarded butt to the hospital.
HOWEVER, I got her back (& Trevor played along) Friday night.  :) 
It was vicious, but so was hers.

I just posted pictures of what I did today on facebook.  You saw correctly!
Those pictures of those flowers that I was so proud of a few weeks ago, were dug up.  
AND REPLACED.
No worries though.  It looks so much better.  



We need more "rocks" to enclose the flower bed, but we couldn't find anymore.
But may I be conceited and say it looks so pretty!!
I don't know when it happened, (the getting-old-and-caring-about-flowers), but it did.
I <3 spring time!
