Patience and Pinterest

All I can say is it's just been one of those days when my patience that is about as long as my pinkie nail  has just hit it's limit. Along with a personal issue that I battle with DAILY, work is crawling by the speed of one of those motorized hot wheel cars you had when you were little. Don't worry about the personal issue, I am just being emo. I will say though, God is most DEFINITELY trying to teach me patience, which clearly I still need work. "sigh"

So with that being said, here are some humorous findings from my beloved pintrest.com that made me smile on this day where my DNA(temper, no patience, Cajun hot head, cold blooded sarcasm) is being my biggest enemy.

So there you are blogsphere. I hope you got chuckle or two out of these, especially if you are having a day where your patience is being tried.

I hate to admit, there most likely is a reason my patience is getting tested...

I still need some training.

Highs and Lows


Ladies and Gentleman, I give you how the past week has gone for me in the form of a graph.
Please ignore the whole wavelength, distance, ECT. markings, the graph is for visual purposes only.

Let's begin with last Thursday evening...

High Point- Oktoberfest for work=Super fun, lots of free food&alcohol, and dancing. It was so much better than last year when I went after only working here for 2 months and didn't really know anyone. This year was much better; having a group of work friends and my extremely personable date once again made it a very enjoyable night.
Me and my hott date!
work lunch buddy and friend

Low Point- Getting my hung over butt to work at 7AM on Friday. However, the random compliments on my dancing skills and how incredibly nice my date was (Trevor) made work not so difficult to get through. (That, and everyone else was just as hung-over if not worse)

Staying at Low Point- It took Trevor and me 4 hours to get to Aggieland on Friday night. It was totally our own fault but still, for Pete's sake (who the heck is Pete anyway?) College Station is only 84 miles from Houston!

High Point- Being in College Station Saturday morning already since the game started at 11. (Thanks Housewife Hotel)

Low Point- Having to change a flat tire on Cammy (My Camry) on Saturday morning when we went to go buy the precious Andre for "Dat Crew Tailgating". It's a game day tradition that the group drinks two bottles (as a group, not individually. We're not drunks!) of Andre on the way to the game. Very important stuff.

High Point- Watching the Aggies B.T.H.O. Baylor one last time, at home, in Kyle Field! WHOOP!
My shirt=awesomesauce. Myself, Heather L, and Marina tailgating pre-game.
Fightin' Texas Aggie band!
Gosh I love A&M. :)
White out game.
Low Point- Go back to HW Hotel to get our stuff before tailgating some more only to find out that Cammy had been towed. Thank you College Station for adding tow number three to my record in that town.

High Point- Boyfriend Paid for tow fee. :)

Low point- driving Cammy home on a spare tire, it's not the smallest doughnut tire, but definitely not the same shoe she is use to having.

High Point- (for Trevor and for my sanity) - Rangers win game 6 and are in the World Series.

Low Point- Not having Chanel home with us on Saturday night because it was too late to pick her up that night.

High Point-Waking up at home and not on an air mattress Sunday morning, we decide to make our own brunch and Poinsettias (champagne and fruit punch).

Low (but extremely funny) point- Only having 1/3 of a bottle of champagne after Trevor soaked down my carpet, couch pillows, part of the TV., and the path all the way to the kitchen with Champagne when he went to open it. His face was priceless. Once we realized all the electronics were safe we laughed for a good 5 minutes.

High Point- Having a really (rare) relaxing Sunday that involved movies, football, getting our daughter back, and sushi that night.

As for the work week so far, we have pretty much gone back to normal...
(again ignore headers and lables please)
steadily rising as each day passes bringing up closer to another, what is sure to be, memorable weekend. Friends in from out of town, bridesmaid dress shopping, one of the best friend's baby shower (holy mother of pearl my friends are starting to have babies???) and a birthday celebration at Pete's Piano Bar downtown, BRING.IT.ON.

It also doesn't hurt that today is my Friday. :)

Happy Thursday dolls.

Weekend Wrap-up and Good Things Coming

Hello Dolls!

This past weekend was a very busy one for me mainly because Trevor and I house/dog sat for his boss and I worked the entire weekend. His boss always watches Chanel for us when we go out of town for Aggie games. It's great for Chanel because she doesn't have to be locked up all day while we are at the game and she has 7 other play buddies. So we decided we should return the favor when she went on vacation this weekend. Did I mention she has 7 dogs? Yeah, forgot that little detail. There is Petunia (the leader of the group and miniature boxer), Cindy(the sweetheart and chihuahua/dachshund mix), Wren(the man of the house and chihuahua), Lucy(the playful chubby chihuahua), Sadie(the smart one and jack russell), Becky(the shy one, not sure what kind) and Peanut(the new puppy) who is a 4 month old "Chug", cross between a chihuahua and a pug. Come on people keep up! Add an Australian Shepherd in the mix that wants to heard groups of anything and you've got a party! It was interesting to say the least. Chanel slept like a rock last night from her very social weekend.

I had to work all day Saturday but it was still a good day, GOD answered all of my prayers. t.u. got the CRAP kicked out of them by Oklahoma and the Aggies B.T.H.O. those idiots in Lubbock (except for Matt, he's an exception). But seriously, what kind of students trash the opposing team's buses by throwing fecal matter and spray painting them black and red??? Oh by the way tech tards, the buses are locally owned and do not belong to the Aggies, thanks and Gig'Em. The game had some stressful moments...this photo says it all. 
Coco, Trev, and J.C.; This is how they looked most of the game, unless they were up screaming at the TV or high-fiving everyone.
Needless to say I was overjoyed to see the Aggies actually play a second half unlike the 2 previous weeks and get the "W". We had a great time watching the game at the Surber's house with some good friends.

Sunday morning I had to work again, which was unfortunate because I would have liked to have continued celebrating the Ag's win Saturday night, but Texan's football calls. But if I did have to go into work, I am glad that this is my office.
Not even open to the fans yet. Pretty cool seeing Reliant at this time.
 Sadly though, my sports prayers must have been all used up for the weekend because the dang Raiders ended up beating us in the 4th. I think since their owner passed, God let them get the win. It could also have something to do with Andre Johnson aka Dre aka AJ being out on injury, just maybe...
We didn't lose for lack of support. However, I am quite sure Trevor was not  thrilled about his daughter supporting the Texans, hehe.
And here we are again on Monday, the day that starts the beginning of another countdown till the weekend. Let's face it, you have to look forward to something to get you through the week. Here are the top 5 things I am looking forward this week/weekend.

1.Pumpkin Carving Party at Houswife's place Friday night. Oh yeah that's right, we get crazy.
2. Oktoberfest-Annual work function this Thursday that involves the Crystal Ballroom in downtown Houston, unlimited wine/beer, dancing, valet parking, and ice sculptures. Plus you get to bring a date. WINNING!
3. Kim Kardashian's wedding special: Part 2 that comes on tonight. (Stop judging me)
4.Only working half a day on Thursday due to # 2. Winning AGAIN!
5. WATCHING THE AGGIES B.T.H.O. THOSE STUPID "TRIED TO KEEP US IN THE BIG 12 BUT DIDN'T WORK" baylor bears!

Happy Monday Dolls! It's halfway over.

P.S.-Please pray that I still have a job come Monday. Why you ask? Well the deal is, several of our executives/owners of the company went to and played football for Baylor. My word vomit friendly trash talking continues to get worse every time they walk by and I am sure will only continue the closer game day gets.
