B.W.O.R. Coworkers

The other day a coworker of mine, who often reads my blogs, came up with the idea that I should post a blog about them.  I thought she was being sarcastic and poking fun at my blog until she told everyone that they would have to take a picture if I did do a blog about them because that's how I do things.

So.... here goes.

Anntonette 

(The One With The Idea)

When I first started working here, I was kinda sketchy about Anntonette.  Not for any reason except for the fact that she didn't really talk to me.  After all, I was just some "country girl that had an accent that wore crosses all the time".  I didn't know how I was going to like my job when I first started working here simply for the fact that we all sat in a room and no one would really talk to me.  Anntonette eventually started asking the normal questions, "Where do you go to school?", "What are you going to school for?", "Are you from here?", "Do you have a boyfriend?".  Typical questions.  I assumed that these typical questions would be all that we ever talked about.  Until about a month or so later when she realized that I was possibly the coolest person that worked in the afternoons.  Or possibly the coolest person she had ever met.  We started having real conversations, I started getting invited to her birthday party, her daughter's birthday party, and next thing you know she's answering my phone when Trevor calls, attempting to steal him away from me.  Good luck.  All though we started out sketchy she's the best black friend I could ever have. :)

Blake

(The Boy of Summer)

Oooh Dougie Fresh.  Lil' Dougie hasn't been with us long, but already believes he runs the place.  He attends LSU, so he's only here for the summer.  He thinks that we'll be lost without him when he leaves because we always put him to work.  What he doesn't know is that we're just taking advantage of him.  Get over it Blake, you were here for 2 months maybe 2 1/2 and we're here year round.  He also believes that he's not supposed to do anything, that nothing is his job.  He's gotten a little better about it though.  Really and truly, Blake loves us.  He claims that Anntonette and I have nothing ever valuable to say so he tunes us out on a hourly basis.  We could be talking bad about him and he would never know.  Although Blake never has any quarters to get a coke out of the coke machine or a charger to charge his phone when it's going dead, (both that he gets from me) he'll be greatly missed.

 

Alex

(The Nintendo Boy)

Oooh what's there to say about Alex?  Alex lives in his own little world.  We often tend to disagree more than we agree.  What to watch on T.V., cats or dogs, (he likes cats, I like dogs), who gets to read the new People magazine first, etc.  Although Alex and I tend to disagree quite a bit, he's a pretty good guy because every time he goes to Nicky's he brings me back a mint which happen to be my absolute favorite mints! So thanks Alex for always bringing me my favorite mints!

 

So there you have it, my friendly coworkers.  What would I do without ya'll every afternoon to pass the day by??

Welcome back...

mosquitos and humidity!  Oh how I've missed you so! (no sarcasm intended)

I miss the pretty little rain showers!  Here lately God has Trevor convinced that He hates Blanchard/Shreveport.  Everyday this week it's been cloudy/dark and everyday when I get home, Trevor checks the radar map at weatherchannel.com and everyday Trevor tells me we're going to get pounded with rain and everyday Trevor says it's coming because it gets darker and the wind picks up and everyday
WE
 GET 
NOTHING! 
 Hence why Trevor's convinced that God hates us.  I told him to quit saying that because obviously He hears Trevor and finds it comical.  Okay, I take that back it does a little more than a sprinkle, but not hard enough that I can't walk outside and just stand there.  Tonight it did just that.  I decided afterwards to finally pull the weeds up from my pretty little flower bed and whadoyano...my hair got wavy and frizzy and I got bit by mosquitos.  

So once again, welcome back mosquitos and humidity!  ((If you're going to stick around bring some more rain with you please))

Oh! And I got to use my windshield wipers today too!

**Note it wasn't even raining this hard at the house, this was up the road**

So, I'm sure all of you remembered that my sister is coming to stay!  Since I can't eat like a teenager anymore, there isn't any teenager food in this house.  Hence...

Hopefully that will last a little longer than a day.  Mekenna- we're ready for you!!

Lailee and Jersey are excited that someone will be here all day to play with them too!  

Anyway, since I pulled weeds and Trevor mowed the grass...

I think it's time for my one (for all of those who think I'm an alchy) glass of wine and for Trevor's one beverage of his choice.  Oh, and some Teen Mom! ;)

& this is life as I know it...

You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!!

This weekend was Trevor's wonderful turn to be on-call.  Who hates on call weekends?! This girl!

Ugh, it's so annoying.  It's like playing the waiting game.  Anyway the oilfield has officially robbed my boyfriend from me since about 10 last night.  Poor guy was running bits from 10 to 5 this morning.  Then when he got home he slept till 10 this morning and his phone was already ringing.  When he finally made it back again, he took a nap and when he woke up his phone rang again!  Sigh.

But before I got robbed, we seem to have gotten some time to do whatever we wanted, like...

Go see Troy Landry from Swamp People, 

this was the closest we could get.  The line to get his autograph was ridiculously long.  

We overheard some lady say it was well worth waiting 4 hours in line. (to talk to him for .2 seconds)

Mess around in Haverty's

This chair didn't look that big until Trevor sat down in it.  Made him look tiny!

Went to Hobby Lobby and hit up the great sales they always have

Shopped around at Super Target after eating at Moe's

And last but not least,

Made icecream!

Specifically peach icecream!!

MmMmMmMmM!!!

It was delicious yesterday, but even better today!  Props to Trevor!!

P.S.  Trevor and I have been in a dry spell over movies here lately and I forgot to mention that we finally landed a good one!  The Lincoln Lawyer.  Really good movie!  I also watched Love & Other Drugs today.  That was also a pretty good movie.  Not to mention the view of Jake Gyllenhaal that I had.  ;)

This And That

Well I survived last night.  My last night of babysitting.  Whoop!

He was much more active last night.  He went down for a nap at 2 and woke up at 6 from what I heard.  He was running from one side of the room to the other non-stop for like 15 min.  He also kept jumping on my head and at one time his knee hit my head.  I said "Oouuuch!" he goes, "I sorry Kayla".  Haha it was cute.

Poor Trevor had to cook himself supper... he had a sandwich.  Also, I think I mentioned this a while back, but my sister is coming to stay with us for a whole week.  She's excited, I'm excited.  I had planned on leaving Lailee here with Trevor when I have to take my sister back to Dallas to meet up with my mom and the rest of my sisters.  We decided to make a mini vacation out of it and we were staying in a hotel for a night so I couldn't bring Lailee.  I had finally come to my senses that she would be okay.  Until last night.  She's such a brat!  Trevor took her for a walk, went out in the backyard with her and walked around with her AND SHE WOULD NOT GO TO THE BATHROOM! Ugh, what's her problem?  She didn't go until I got home at 10.  She can't hold it for a whole week so she'll have to get over it.

Speaking of the dogs, Lailee is a little lost this morning without her buddy Jersey.  Jersey went to the vet to get shots, teeth cleaned, and all that good stuff.  Poor Jersey willingly got in the truck with Trevor this morning by hearing, "Jersey you wanna go to work?"  Jersey used to ride with Trevor a lot when she was a puppy, now she doesn't because he doesn't have time to let her out and deal with her in the car.  She's not the best traveler.  

This is what it looks like outside...

It probably won't rain because it's been passing by us a lot, but I still love it!  I'd love it even more if it would rain!!!  I miss days like these.  Makes me want to cuddle up on the couch and be lazy all day.  Too bad I have to go to work! Speaking of....

& this is life as I know it...

Weeelllll....

the weekend didn't turn out as awful as I thought it was going to.  I was being dramatic about the babysitting job ruining my Saturday because it didn't put too much of a damper in it.  

I got there at 6 and was leaving by 9!  Not too shaaabby!

I'm sure Trevor enjoyed his guy time with Eric and I enjoyed my little bit of extra cash. ;)

I get to go back Monday evening as well, so some more extra cash!

Anyway the rest of my Saturday turned out to be a pretty okay night.

Today we decided to go to the lake!

Eric and Melissa decided to join in on the fun afternoon!

Too bad Mable and Ruby were unable to join! :)  Someday!

Now this, was an adventure.  We got there at about 2:30ish 3, I believe.  We knew before we left that there was a chance of rain coming in, but here lately every time we've had a chance of rain it has always skipped over us.  So we decided to take a chance and go to the lake.  When we got on the lake, we decided to stay close to where we put the boat in, just in case it did decide to start raining. (There were already dark clouds ahead)  We were out there for about an hour, hour and a 1/2 and it started getting ugly.  Wind came out of no where and it got dark!  We immediately decided to head back in.  At this point it was sprinkling.  Of course when we decide to do something it was going to rain.  It only sprinkled on us for a while and we waited it out because it passed quickly.  We were glad that we didn't head in.

Being at the lake makes me tired and hungry!  On that note, Trevor better chop chop to making me some supper, so we can end the evening with a movie!  :)

Chillin' On A Recliner

Yeah, I'm chillin' on a recliner

Laid back, blogging on a Friday

Swamp Loggers on the T.V.

A cold daiquiri sittin' in my hand...

That was my jam for the night.  Anyway,

FRIDAY

freakin'

night!

And we're not doing a dang thing. :|

Normally I wouldn't be upset about this because it is what most of our Friday nights have resulted in but tonight....tonight....this specific Friday night, Mekayla's a little upset.  Why?  Because I got volunteered to babysit tomorrow night.  Ya I said it, babysitting.  I can't remember the last time I babysat much less worked on a week-end.  All I wanted to do was have some fun for my one free night of my weekend and Trevor is watching Swamp Loggers, facebooking, and even get ready, Craigs Listing. :|  

EXXXXCITTTEMENT happening in the 71107 I tell ya.

I can't even get him to budge, but I could almost guarantee if one of his buddies were over here wanting to do something he'd be up doing it.  Sigh. I need to get some power back around here cause it's fading fast and in a hurry.  Hope the rest of you had a more exciting night than I have had.

Hate

is a strong word from what I hear, but

I

HATE

CONSTRUCTION!

Specifically the construction that is going on on North Market, which is also the street that I get to and from work on. :|

One lane traffic all the way from the turn off to go to the house all the way up to almost Brookshires.  

For those of you who don't know, it's about 5 miles.   It takes forever now to get to work, back home, even to the gym!  It completely blows.

Oh and while we're on the subject of hate...  

Trevor apparently hates me or thinks he's quite humorous.  

Please enlighten me on how 10, yes 10, shirts need to be ironed when more than half of those have not come out of the washer.  They just magically appeared.  Not only does Trevor hate me, but 

I

HATE

IRONING!

I believe an award should be taken place. :)

That's all. Hope everyone has had a wonderful day!!!

Last Minute

At the last minute yesterday, Trevor decided we should go to Tyler for the night.  The idea was originally brought to him by Ron to make hot sauce, but tomatoes were not to be found.  We went anyway and hung out with Levi and Jessica.  We had a good time!  Nice for a change of scenery. ;) 

Before we left today, (we had to leave early because Trevor had to go to a rig.....what he's been doing 24/7...not that I'm complaining, just simply stating) we decided to check out the new grocery store in Tyler called Fresh.  It was sorta intimidating because from the outside it looks giganturous! It still was pretty big inside, but not as big as I thought it was going to be.

However, I did come across this...

How creepy looking are those fishy fishes?!

Creepy! I could barely even look at them!  Don't get me wrong, I like fish but I'd rather not see it dead!  Yuck!

Also some more news....my seeeeester is coming to visit me for a whole week! Not until August, but I just figured I'd let ya'll know!  I'm sure she'll be completely bored all week, but I'll try my best to entertain! :)

Now, it's off to bed for this girl.  Tomorrow is a brand new week! Joy.

& this is life as I know it...

Party, Party, Party All Weekend Long!

When I say that we partied all weekend.  We partied all weekend.

Friday began with going out on the town.

Andrew had a bachelor party to attend, so we tagged Misty along with us! Despite what Trevor might say, he had a blast with us two girls!!

Saturday we woke up and got ready for the lake!

Yes she just had a baby and yes it is ridiculous that it looks like she hasn't!

Just sayin!  We stayed out on the lake for a few hours just chillin' and tubin'.  It was tons of fun!

We had a pretty big group all weekend which made it even more fun!

We made it back home for supper and cooked out.  The boys watched the fight while us girls did more socializing than watching.  Later after everyone left, Karl's brother and Karl were still here.  Karl's brother likes to party.  End of story.  So he convinced Trevor and Karl to go out...here are the results of that.

He says the picture does it no justice.  Which I suppose he's kind of right.  The picture doesn't show how deep the cut actually is.  It's pretty nasty.  And yes he shaved his leg so he could put a bandaid on it due to the fact that it wouldn't quit bleeding. 

Sunday we woke up sunburned, but retardedly made the decision to go to the river.  I packed on the sunscreen since I was already burned, but retard didn't.  In fact, I don't think he wore any all weekend.  I kept asking if he wanted some, but apparently he forgot he's a white boy and thought he could take the sun.  Needless to say a few hours later, Trevor wasn't feeling too hot.  So we managed to leave early.

Yesterday was 4th of July!!!  I had the day off and amazingly so did Trevor.  He was on call, but once again amazingly did not get a call.  We did some shopping yesterday and came home to cook supper!  We were worried we weren't going to have electricity because our shopping trip was cut short when the mall and Walmart and everyone else didn't have any power and due to the fact that we didn't have any Thursday evening.  No worries, we had power!  Trevor cooked ribs.  Trevor's a good cook, but I was slightly impressed by his ribs.  They were pretty darn good.
I believe that Lailee and Jersey were more excited that we were having ribs than we were.  They got, as Trevor called them, "Happy 4th of July ribs".  We had to take them away from them before they ate the whole entire bone.

Afterwards we were trying to decided what to do for fireworks.  We were going to go to town and watch them from there, but they were calling for rain.  Right as soon as Trevor made the decision of staying at the house to pop fireworks instead of going into town, it started raining.  We thought we made the right decision.  Had we gone into town, we would've gotten soaked!  Too bad we didn't make it, apparently Jerrod Niemann was there for the after show!  We had to hold off on popping fireworks due to the rain, but it stopped about 9:30 so we got to have our little bit of fun.

All in all it was a great weekend!!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!!!

& this is life as I know it...
