My view of an imperfect but wonderful life

It is about time!!!



I can NOT believe I haven't posted on here in two weeks!!! A LOT has happened! Well kind of but not really. I got called back for the job that I went in for about 2 weeks ago, but they haven't called me back to tell me to come in and begin work. Last week (the week before Valentine's Day) was a Valentine Madness week *hmmm cool name and I came up with that all by myself! I should copyright it!* And we had to do stuff for our secret Valentine, so I made posters for mine and hung them all up downstairs and then gave him candy and a stuffed gorilla! LOL we were supposed to find out who each Secret Valentine was on Tuesday Feb 17 (the Valentine social) but mine told me that morning instead since he wasn't going to the social. I was happy when I found out it was a friend of mine, Jermaine.

So on Valentine's day, I was in Tennessee with Cheryl, Cody and Theresa, I had so much fun. We lounged around til 1 doing laundry and just relaxing then got ready by about 4 to leave for Cody's. His mom made us some GOOD southern food! MMMMM! Home cooking is amazing. Then we came home Sunday night

The Valentine social was fun... kind of lol! There is so much behind that story... But the rest of this week flew by rather fast. I had a few run ins with what my Mom thinks may be sugar problems (just one more thing for me to deal with!)

I am now working more hours in the school kitchen, it is so fun! So my school bill is slowly getting paid off

Oh and I have had accidents galore lately! On our way to Tennessee, the tire popped and then shredded. So Cody had to put the spare on it, and we stopped at a gas station to air it up, and I was racing Theresa to the car... and ended up tripping and sliding for about a foot (it felt like 2 feet) but surprisingly I didn't bleed I just got really scraped up. Then my ankle swelled up Thursday and it looked really purple... THEN last night I was sitting with my legs crossed, and a friend pushed me jokingly and I couldn't uncross my legs to catch my balance so I fell on my knee really hard at an awkward angle. So needless to say I had an ice pack on it last night, but shortly after I fell, Theresa and I headed out to get a snack, and I didn't realize how icy it was. I slid going down the ramp, and fortunately caught myself by grabbing the railing before I fell... Then when I reached the sidewalk, I slipped again on the ice and almost did the splits, THEN when I reached the stairs, I fell down all three stairs and landed on my backside! And couldn't get up without help cuz it was so slippery! HEHE! If only you all could have seen it!

Wow... This was a long post! But it made me happy to write it all down! LOL I will try to get better with my posting!

Sigh. Erica...you can't ever beat me with the injuries. Stop trying. LOL

Carlene Branham said...

OK. Now my question to you my dear is not how graceful you were, but what kind of shoes were you wearing???!!! I would venture a guess that you did NOT have boots on......right? This is Indiana. It's winter. There's snow & ice. You must wear boots, my dear. And let me comment about V'day social. It's a shame some nameless male couldn't enjoy a fun
time & just hanging out. His loss. He is a MAJOR GOOBER!!! Please let me tell him!!! :-)

Jana - LOL my middle name SHOULD have been Grace! lol but I will just keep it as a sarcastic nickname

Bekki- LOL! We just both have issues don't we! LOL And I wasn't trying to show you up... I DID show you up! LOL JK

Aunt Carlene! You were so wonderful to us on Saturday to take us out for lunch! And of course I wasn't wearing boots lol! Who wears boots in 20* weather? I love that our family is so protective of each other!!!

That's my clutz!...er...cuz! (That's really what I meant, honestly) ;-p

Bekki said...

She won't give me any contact information to tell him either.

=P

Because I have some choice words for him...I would TRY to be nice (Key word being try. And they always say, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. So he would get it more than once!!!!)

Erica Rose said...
