30 januari TGIFFirst, I have a bone to pick with MSN spaces. I don’t know what type of web software you use to store my space’s photos but please change it back to what we had before! See, my company has this wonderful little thing that blocks it now and therefore I can no longer post photos unless I know the html coding and quite frankly, I’m not that good to figure it out. Thank you.
With that being said you’ll understand why my post doesn’t have any Steelers pictures up *sob*
I’m very excited about the Super Bowl this Sunday. Everyone root on the Steelers, kay? Along with President Obama who will be supporting the black and gold this weekend. I’m not sure what my Super Bowl plans are going to be. The Queen insists that we’re going to have a SB party in our game room that we’ve been working on for a month now. Considering it still has quite a bit to go I don’t think that’ll be the case. Not to mention that The Royal Family has HD TV at the palace and I’d rather watch that. But we’ll see what The Queen decides, because ultimately it’s all up to her, right? *rolls eyes*
You know you live in Pittsburgh when the biggest thing going on in your office is the Super Bowl party lunch. Ever since the management team (yes, you read that correctly “management”) came in this morning all they have been doing is “preparing” for the party. So far the VP has been hanging up Steelers decorations all over the office, helping to conduct food, and horse playing with another manager. While her assistant has been participating in this all as well. The President got involved for about 10 minutes of fun but now its just management again enjoying all of the fun. Seriously people?!?! I love the Steelers just as much as the next person but its 9:15 in the morning and lunch isn’t for another three hours. I think you need to settle down a little bit.
Now I’m going to ask you all for your prayers. My Prince came home from work last night very upset about something that had happened at work (not mentioning any details). I’m now afraid that he may lose his job. This could be very bad. The worst part is I think The Queen is secretly hoping that he does. Why? Oh, that’s easy to answer, because she misses him living at home with her. When he tells her his concerns about possibly losing his job she says, “Don’t you worry about it. We’ll figure something out. If you have to move back home, then that’s what you’ll have to do. We’re here for you.” Yeah, she really does say that. Anyway, please pray that he won’t lose his job. I can’t support both of us on my salary. I could pay the mortgage on the house and that would be about it. So your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
On that note, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
~ FC 28 januari Sisterhood of the Shrinking JeansYAY! I lost five pounds on the start of my weight loss journey. This was with a little stumbling block in between but I'm still VERY proud of myself. YAY!!!
26 januari Fun WeekendFriday was a quiet night spent at home. I don’t remember much about it except for finishing the book The Reader and eating a late dinner. On Saturday we woke up early and went to the Royal Family’s house. Then we headed out to the strip district for lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse. That was the first time I have ever eaten there. They had good food but the service was less than desirable. After lunch we headed out to the street vendors and stores to by some Steelers Super bowl stuff. I bought three long sleeved Steelers shirts and a Steelers winter cap.
Then we went back to the Royal Family’s house for about 30 minutes and went back to the city for some ice-skating. This was such an awesome experience I cannot find the words to describe it. We skated on the Pittsburgh Penguins’ ice for two hours! I got to ice skate where Evgeni Malkin and Sydney Crosby play hockey!!! I took a ton of pictures! After skating we hit the Penguins’ store and bought some Penguin stuff. I got a Penguins winter hat (which I secretly like better than my Steelers hat but won’t admit to it), a long sleeved Penguins shirt, and an All Star Malkin jersey! I still can’t believe it!
Once we left our ice-skating session we went out to dinner at one of our old haunts. We had awesome food and stayed out way too late but it was still fun. We then went back to the Royal Family’s house and stayed for an extra minute or two and headed back home. I was proud of myself for speaking my mind about The Queen to My Prince. I’ve been having some issue with The Queen lately and got some of it off my chest. I don’t know if it’ll change anything but at least I talked about it with him. I guess the issues between The Queen and myself can be another post. But it was a wonderful day overall and I was glad to get a break from working on our house.
Sunday, however, it was back to work but surprisingly I had a really good time. At first I was grumpy because I hate how much time the Prince and I spend with the Royal Family. But the more I interacted with My Prince on our game room project the happier I got. I love doing things with him I just feel like the Royal Family is intruding in on that. Like I said, that’s another post for another time. The good news is that we accomplished a lot on our game room. YAY!
Six days until the Super Bowl, WOO – HOO! GO STEELERS!
~ FC 23 januari Where have I been?That’s a good question, the best answer is I’ve been so busy at work that I haven’t had the time to post. I was going to try and post at home but My Prince installed a new firewall on our network and apparently it’s working too well so I couldn’t post from home.
The biggest and best news is that my Steelers are going to the Super Bowl!!!! I was even lucky enough to go to the AFC Playoff game! It was an awesome experience! The whole city is exploding with celebrations, LET’S GO STEELERS! YAY!!!
My Prince, The Royal Family, and I have been working on remodeling our game room. We finally got carpeting, which makes a huge difference. The carpeting that was there was an awful pink color and very badly stained. The wallpaper was hideous and now we have paneling up. I’m not crazy about the paneling but it’s better than the pink and gray mush wallpaper that was there. This project has proven to be difficult and exhausting. Everyone has been frustrated and is eager to finish the project. My Prince is determined to do that this weekend, we’ll see though.
Speaking of this weekend, we have big plans for tomorrow. First we’re going to hit the strip district and buy some Steelers Super Bowl stuff. Then we’re going to go ice-skating on the same ice as the Pittsburgh Penguins!!! I’m extremely excited about this!!!!!!! I can hardly wait!
I’m also happy to report that, even though I was at work, I was able to watch our new President give his inauguration speak on TV. It was definitely a historical moment.
That’s about all of the time I have right now. I will try to post more often in the future. Have a great weekend everyone!
~ FC 12 januari CrazyThis past week has been pretty crazy for me. It involved one funeral and wall paneling.
Sadly, my Step-mother's Mother died this past week. I wasn't very close to her so I was more on the support side of things. But that kept me rather busy. I went to both viewings on Saturday and Sunday. Today was the burial but I didn't want to fight to have the day off when she wasn't that close to me. Plus, I did my best to be helpful and supportive this whole past week. I feel bad that I wasn't there but there's only so much a person can do.
The wall paneling was being done in my game room. I am not a fan of putting paneling up, but it came down to either My Prince giving in or me giving in and I just got tired of fighting about it. But trust me, this will be added to the list of many things I let him get away with. So, now our game room looks like a hunting cabin. I'm not happy about it but there's not much that can be done now. It took us all weekend to get it up. All I have to say is, he'd better be happy with it!
This morning I had a rough start to my day. I over slept after having a sleepless night, was late for work, and of course this was the day that the head quarters decided to play a mean trick on me and have me running around the office all morning like a crazy person.
It's definitely Monday.
How's your day going?
~ FC 06 januari RamblingsThere’s not much going on here. So bullets will have to do:
Ø Christmas was crazy! I never want to have people over my house for Christmas dinner again! It’s just too exhausting. I liked it better when it was someone else’s house we went to. All we did was show up.
Ø My Prince got sick the Friday after Christmas and wasn’t well again until the following week. Thankfully he was doing better for New Year’s Eve/Day.
Ø We went over to My Prince’s Aunt’s house with his parents for New Year’s pork and sauerkraut. I don’t really like pork and/or sauerkraut but I was a good sport and ate a little bit. We spent most of the night watching America’s Funniest Home Videos, which was actually a lot of fun. We laughed until we cried. We left My Prince’s Aunt’s house pretty late though we didn’t think we’d make it home in time to watch to ball drop. But we made it home with five minutes to spare and I was happy I got my New Year’s Day kiss.
Ø I am sticking to my “new start” in 2009. I’m quite proud of myself and am happy that the days that I succeed are being counted by the actual day of the month. I’ll be weighing myself on Thursday for my next official weigh in. I’m excited to see how well I’m doing.
Ø Also, along those lines, I watched the first episode of The Diet Tribe on Lifetime. It makes me wish for my own group of girlfriends again. But I hope to watch the series and stay motivated with them.
Ø Lastly, my sister Missy is once again supposedly getting married on August 8th of this year. I am not excited about this in no way shape or form. I don’t want her to marry this guy, I don’t think this guy is going to go through with it (again), and I don’t want to waste my time and money on something that may or may not happen (again). I also don’t like the fact that August 8th is My Prince’s and I anniversary. But, we’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you all updated on this one.
~ FC 02 januari Dreams....It seems every time I come to type up a post I end up with a blank mind. Yesterday I had two thoughts that made me think, "I should blog about that tomorrow." Now today I can't remember what they were. Next time I'll have to write down my thoughts when I think of them.
The dreams I've been having lately this week have been rather interesting. In the one dream I was back in school, but all of the other students were being mean to me. I had Penguin Hockey tickets and once they found out I had them they kept trying to steal them from me. A few times they succeeded and proceeded to rip them up. I was mortified, but I kept getting all of the pieces of the tickets back because I was convinced that if I had all of the pieces I could still use the ticket. At the very end of this dream The Royal Queen (My Prince's Mom) said to me, "The ticket is no longer void if it is ripped up into pieces." I was so upset and then I woke up.
The next dream I had was one where I was organizing my wedding. I had my wedding dress on and was rushing from different place to different place. Then I finally ended up at my Grammy and Pappy's old house and had started setting things up. I put chairs out, put flowers all over the place, and decided that My Prince and I would walk down the steps together and use the finished basement for the ceremony. It started getting closer to start the ceremony and I was mad at my Mom because she wouldn't let me put a white bed sheet down over the brown runner carpet we would be walking down after the steps. Just as we were about to start down the steps, I woke up.
Then last night I dreamed that I was in school and working on a dandelion project. But instead of being in a school building or classroom the "class" was held in an office inside of an office building. I was teamed up with two guys and one girl. The one guy was someone I went to high school with as well as the other girl. I don't remember who the second guy was, but I do remember that I didn't know who he was. We needed something to complete our project with and I remember going into a store with my little group and looking around for whatever it was we needed. I separated myself from the group and ended up running into my ex-best friend Amanda. She stopped, looked at me and said, "I called you. Did you get my message?" At that exact moment I had a flash memory of listening to my voicemails on my cell phone and hearing her asking me to call her when I got the message. I responded to her with, "Yeah, I'll have to call you back" and then I walked away from her. Shortly after that I woke up.
I wonder what they mean.
