Wednesday...Hump Day

Only 1 more day in the late chair here at work. ARRRRGGGGHHHH! Those of you that know me know that I am a MORNING person and, to have to come in at 10 a.m. STINKS! I'd rather be at work at 5 a.m. and get it over and done with! Oh well....1 MORE DAY!

There's been nothing exciting at all...oh wait...I forgot....Peggy came by today and showed me the brochure of where we'll be staying in Cancun...I AM SO EXCITED! It's all inclusive...right on the Caribbean Sea...OH MY STARS...will I ever be a hick from the sticks? We're going from June 8-12th...Did I tell you that I am excited?

This past weekend was pretty restful. I enjoyed that! I slept late, which is a treat for me! (Ok, so late to me is 8:30.) I went to a baby shower on Sunday afternoon at my little grand-friend Roselynn's house. Baby things are so cute now...so many things to choose from, especially for little girls.

We almost got blown away here in Paris, Texas yesterday. (Click on the link and you see some of the damage.) The wind got up over 50 miles an hour at some points in the day. Lots of damage to roofs, fences and a couple of buildings downtown. Everyone that came in the bank had that "wind blown" hair style...except for me! haha!

Hope everyone has a GREAT week!
Love you all!

FRIDAY.....I didn't think it would ever get here! Fridays are always busy here at the bank...I love that! I don't have to work tomorrow AND NO PLANS....so I can pull the covers up and sleep in! WooHOO! Webber's cooking stew for supper.....YUM! Woke up to ice on the windshield and rain coming down. Oh man....what a good day!

Holy Cow...where did the time go?

Oh my stars.....do you see how long it's been since I last blogged? I'll give you the basic excuses... I've been busy...I haven't had time...ewwww....just forget those. I've just been forgetful. I read LOTS of other blogs and think that no one would be interested in what I have to say. But, I'm just gonna write....it's for me...just me.
I've lost 52 pounds since July...I'm staying with the low-carb dieting and keeping my blood glucose levels good....still no diabetic meds...WOOOHOOOOOO!

Larry is loving the big city life in Plano. He's happy with his job and his life. That makes me happy. He turned 27 last week, and came in on Saturday for our celebration. We didn't have much time together because his cousin, Ricky, was flying back in to Dallas. Ricky has been in Iraq and was injured 2 weeks ago. He was sent to Balad, Ramstein, Bethesda then to Dallas. He's doing good and will have 30 days at home before he has to go back. God definitely had his arms around Ricky during all of this.

Baby Girl is 9 months old and becoming quite a lady....haha! Not so much. She is a DIVA! She wants all of my attention, all of the time. She sleeps with me and takes up most of the bed. She SNORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I've grown to really love her. She'll never take Pooh Bears' place... no little animal ever could...but she's found her own place in my heart.
My niece Natalie got married in December to Brady Hicks and they are now living in Honey Grove. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful. But, I think I'm a little prejudiced. She was the most gorgeous bride....seriously looked like a princess! (oh wait...am I prejudiced?) She's continuing her RN studies and will graduate in May.

So....that pretty much catches you up for now...I'll try to be a better blogger!
