Is it really fall?

After I did the Random Thoughts post I decided that was fun and would continue with that concept as my life is pretty uneventful. First I will update you on my thoughts from earlier in the week. I still don't know why Dancing with the Stars had to be 3 days long and I'm over Cloris (however you spell her name) Leachman. She is not as funny as she thinks she is and is rather obnoxious. I rented and watched Sex and the City The Movie today. Just as good as I remembered. I have purchased already cut fruit for dinner tonight. The cleaning mice still haven't stopped by.

New random thoughts:

• I'm not sure why I have been getting horrendous headaches this past week. I believe they are partially sinus and partially tension. However the ones that bother me most are the ones that start in my jaw and shoot in every direction of my head. This is my jaw that pops every time i open it. Kinda scary.
• I'm so excited for true fall weather. This 80 degree stuff I'm done with. I'm hoping the cold front will hit Wichita first as I'm heading there on Monday.
• I know that KState is playing no one big today, but it would be fun for the game to be on TV as I enjoy watching my Cats play.
• Last night I had to go back to the office to receive 8 cars that were being delivered to us. It was rather interesting to watch them drive them all off the trailer and into the parking lot. It is a true science. They said they have been driving around and delivering cars for 3 months. I thought it was going to be bad to be gone for 3 weeks.
• I have officially decided the random thoughts emails are fun since I sit at home alone and Chloe doesn't appreciate them and possibly you all will. If you don't then I guess you don't have to read the blog. Ha Ha.
• Grey's Anatomy was good, but did not live up the anticipation of a two hour season premier then after it is over we find out it is not going to be back for 2 weeks. Are you kidding? Very annoying.

Hope you enjoyed

Random Thoughts

So nothing has changed in the stability of my life. I'm home this week. I will be in Wichita during the week next week. We are opening our new office there. I'm excited about that as I will now have a place to work there when in town rather than my hotel room. I have decided that since I don't have much stability in my life I will play in the advanced handbell group at church for at least one stable thing in my life. I will know where I will be at least one time during the week.

So here are some random thoughts I have been having today:

• I love Dancing with the Stars, however is it necessary to have 3 nights of the show in one week. I am excited that my gay boyfriend Lance Bass is on the show. As most of you know NSync was my secret love back in the day and Lance was my favorite.
• I am deciding if I need to go and buy Sex and the City the movie tonight or can I wait until the weekend. It is a necessary purchase and I know I need to watch it again soon.
• Is it wrong to buy already cut up and prepared fruit for a dinner this weekend or do I need to prepare it all myself?
• I'm wondering what day the magical cleaning mice will come to my house as they haven't been her in quite some time and my house is a disaster.
• Why does health insurance have to be so rediculously expensive? I guess that is another reason I need to get healthy so I possibly won't have to be on the medications and not have to go the doctor regularly. Then I can have a high deductible plan that is cheaper.
• Do I really want to spend my savings to paint my house when it doesn't appear that I will be moving until early next year?
• I'm happy that if I do get sent to Texas on the last rotation I won't have to work over the Thanksgiving weekend. I would be able to come home or at least go and see some family in Texas for the holiday.
• I think it is funny that if I mow my grass my next door neighbors mow theirs the next day. However, if they mow theirs first I could care less and possibly wait at least another week before I mow mine. Ha Ha.

Okay, that is some random thoughts. Hope you have enjoyed.

Will it ever settle down?

So here I am sitting on my couch, watching K-State Football, and enjoying the fall weather. I am glad to be at home considering the circumstances. No news to anyone out there that the weather around the country has been kinda out of whack. When the weather is bad we get killed at work. Hurricane season is one of our least favorite. We are going to be working claims from Ike for many months. We already have signed up for shifts to go to Texas to work claims all the way through Dec 2. To make it more fun, here at home (Kansas and Missouri) we got pounded with rain last week which hasn't helped our claim volume. We are basically treading water (literally). I have signed up to go to Texas one of the later shifts so I can be here for a close friends wedding and to see The Lion King.

As far as my life outside of work, I'm not really sure what that is these days. We did find out last week that my older sister is going to have a girl in February. They have decided to name her McKenna Marie. I have been also spending time with some good friends playing games at least once or twice a week. It has been so much fun and a great break from reality. We do this for a few hours and laugh a lot and enjoy each others company.

I finally went to the grocery store today to buy some food since I know I'm going to be here for a bit (knock on wood). It felt so nice to eat a home cooked meal. I didn't realize how much I was missing that until after I was done eating. I already have my meals planned for the next week. Yeah!!!

This past Saturday I went to get a manicure and pedicure with a good friend. I have started to over come my fear of pedicures. Yes, I don't typically like to have them done as I know my feet aren't in the best shape. I have a fear they are going to make fun of my feet. However, I'm learning that this could be a luxury I could get used to. I have decided to cut some costs in other places in my life to possibly enjoy some luxuries in life.

Chloe is back living at home with me. She was up visiting mom and dad while I was traveling. It makes it so nice to know she will be here to greet me when I get home at night from a long day. I don't know that having the windows open is great for her as she has been sneezing all night.

That is all the excitement (or not so much) in my life for now.

Don't be shocked

Yes I'm posting two times in one night. I hope you don't fall out of your chair.

Here are some photos from the weekend in Port Ludlow.

This is the house we stayed in. It is for sale and can be yours for a mere $895,000

This was my bedroom. It was set up as a little girls "princess" room. I know when all of you think of me the first word to come to mind is princess. However all the colors were light blues and yellows. I loved it. As you can see there were window on the wall going out to the hallway that also has a wall of windows. Hence I was up with the sun, but didn't mind as the view was unbelievable looking out on the water.

Thanks to Captain Bry we got a picture of all of us on the sailboat. The time was so relaxing.

I just really like this picture of looking up the sails. This is where I sat for part of the excursion and this was the view straight up to the sky.

What day is it?

First of all, Tiffany am I at the top? I have certainly fallen behind in the updates lately. I can't say I haven't had my computer with me as I have it with me most of the time. However, I have been traveling so much that I don't even know what end is up. I have been going to to Wichita and it is in the plan to go there again on Sunday and be there for two weeks. However, with the impending hurricane I may be deployed to Texas. The final word will come later in the week as the storm gets closer. If I do go there is no word on how long I will be there. Could be there for up to 12 weeks.

I also spent this past weekend on vacation (pictures to be uploaded later as the camera is in the car). It was one of the most relaxing vacations I have had. I spend the weekend helping celebrate Tiffany's birthday in Port Ludlow outside of Seattle. We rented this 5000 square foot home with a view of the Pugent Sound. We only planned to go sailing, other than that we did nothing but relax and have fun. We played games, read, lauged, had some fruity beverages and laughed some more.

I am currently home and missing Chloe as she is staying with my parents. I am going to go up and get her tomorrow. I have one of my former youth kids that is going to come by and play with her while I'm gone.

I will upload photos soon, I promise.
