GETTING OLD!!!!!

Have you ever wondered at what point in your life are you “officially” old???
I don’t think that I’m quite there YET, but I sure am on my way and this is why…

~I find myself interested in Lifetime, Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel more than MTV.

~When I see young couples hand in hand or loving on each other I always think, “Are they even old enough to leave the house without an adult present?” – knowing they are mid-late teens and I, myself used to look the same way!

~The weight that I used to think looked good on people when I was younger now seems too thin and I see people and want to feed them because they look like bones! (This could be because I’m a fat butt now, not because of my age!!)

~To go out partying and drinking holds no interest in me. I’d rather hang out with friends at a bar-b-que, bowling (even though I HATE to bowl), movies, etc…

~Caring more about making sure my bills are paid rather than spending my money on that great outfit!

~Seeing a teen in a really cute outfit, but thinking that her skirt is WAY TOO SHORT!

~Reading the labels on things wondering what the hell they really put in foods, drinks, medications, etc… When before it never really mattered to me! I just trusted it was safe.

~Wanting to move out “to the country” for simplicity and serenity instead of being right near town for convenience and accessibility.

~I find myself listening to more of the softer music rather the hard core metal that I use to listen to.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love my classics that I grew up with like AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses, Quiet Riot, etc…, but they no longer are considered hard core. I just don’t make an effort to listen to the new aged hard core bands these days. I will hear a song every now and then I like, but I won’t just run out and buy the CD like I used to.

~I’d rather listen to the more “mild comedians” like the Blue Collar guys instead of someone like Chris Rock.

~Worrying about and discussing health issues when I used to think I was invincible and would say to myself, “that won’t happen to me!”

OK, those are just some of the reasons, there are many, many more!
So do you see where I’m coming from? I know that I am still young, but I have always felt like an “old soul” and I think it is really catching up with me.
I hope these aren’t signs that when I’m in my 50’s I’m not one of those old women that sit out on the front porch knitting, shooing young kids off my lawn and swearing at them shaking my fist and yelling DAMN KIDS!!!!
I hope to save that for when I’m in my 70’s or 80’s!!!!!

My Temperment

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament

Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected. It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well. At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

GLAD TO SEE HIM GO!!!

I am so happy that he was finally kicked off Idol!!!!

I thought that he should have never made it past the judges, but who am I to say.
This is the first year that I have ever watched this show and I have really enjoyed it.

My top picks are Taylor, Catherine and Mandisa. I like Chris to, BUT for some reason I don't like him as much as the other three.

I am hoping that these above are the final four!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!

This happens like NEVER at my house!!!!

I left work and came straight home, cooked, ate, cleaned the kitchen all before datadada..........

6:30PM

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????

That almost never happens at my house. I am usually running errands or doing stuff for my grandmother, taking Austin somewhere, paying bills, etc...
Those who know me know that I am hardly ever at home!
What's even more unbelievable is the fact the I actually cooked. I hate to cook, but I have been doing a lot of it since Todd had to change his diet.

So You guys better mark this moment in the record book because it probably won't happen for another 10 years!!!!

Some of My Pet Peeves...

`Dirty ashtrays - especially the smell!!!! (I hated this even when I DID smoke)
-One of the many reasons I quit

`Clothing Tags to show - I have to fix them when I see them even on people I don't know!

`The toilet paper to be put on the roll what I consider upside down! The flap has to be on top, not underneath!

`To hear people eat and drink! This usually applies at home and my husband or son is right under me eating something. I hate the way eating and drinking sounds *even to hear myself.

`Nails on a chalkboard or a fork raking across a plate.

`Dirty Fingernails

`Hairy men. YUCK!!!!

`To hear people drag their feet when they walk.

`Toilets that don't flush properly! You know, the ones that don't have enough pressure to suck all the shit down and you're scared it's going to back up and everybody will know YOU took the shit and clogged the toilet!!!!!! That or you have to stay in the bathroom and flush a million times to get it to go down. Then everyone still knows what you did because you were gone for so long!

`To hear people clicking the tongue rings on their teeth!!! That drives me crazy!!! I used to work with a couple of people that used to do it and I just wanted to yank it out and rip their tongue so they couldn't get another one!!!!

`Children that are rude because their parents didn't bother to teach them any freaking manners or the parents did try, but the inconsiderate shits don't do it to rebel against them! Or the ultimate - when the child does something rude and the parent doesn't correct them on the spot!


These are just some of my pet peeves. I have more, but I didn't want everyone to think that I'm completely crazy!

Please share some of yours with me so that I can see if I'm normal or just psychotic

Another BLUE Day...

It's raining and my mood hasn't been very good for about oh.... going on 4 years now!!!! Don't get me wrong, I understand that we all have good and bad days, but I seem to have more bad than good. I'M SICK OF IT!!! Maybe I do need to medicate myself, BUT I just can't bring myself to do that. Mainly because I know that it's all up to me to make myself happy, but it's really hard to do that when you have life kicking your ass time and time again!!!!
~~~When I hit one of my lows, instead of resorting to calling a doctor to get a prescription I pick this up...




This book was given to me by a very dear friend that I used to work with and I think it was one of the best things ever given to me!!!! I had just experienced the worst thing that has ever happened to me and, believe it or not, this very simply book helped me through that extremely tough time. I would pick it up with tears streaming down my face and just the pictures alone would help calm me. There is absolutely nothing about this book that is trivial. It is just as it reads, a lesson for me that I am human, just like all of the other people in this world. And with that, everyone else has tough times and has the same feelings as me when they are down. So if you start to feel like there is no one you can talk to, go out and buy this book and I bet you will look at the illustrations and read the words under them and you will start to feel better. It sure helps me when I'm down!

MY DAY...

~I wake up 15 minutes late - so I'm late for work

~My mouth hurts like hell - there goes my wisdom teeth becoming infected AGAIN!! (you would think I would have them cut out-may have to soon)

~I have 65 email messages from customers, sales reps, co-workers etc... and everyone of them are expecting answers YESTERDAY!!! Half of the customers won't wait for answers and will email me another 10 times each before 9am.

~All of the paperwork on my desk seemed to multiply overnight. Then it decided to have a party and not arrange itself in it's proper files!!! Damn..that means I must do some filing before it triplefies!!!!

~The phone keeps ringing and I still have unanswered voice messages to get to!

~Gotta run backorder report, allocate, send price list, conference calls, faxes, key orders and samples, send confirmations, POP AN ADVIL, research product information, send pick tickets to the warehouse for shipping, SHIT- there goes the phone again!!! UGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
(Time to Pee)

~Take a break to pee - HELLO. I look down and realize that I put my panties on INSIDE-OUT!!! I'm such a yutz! What's even worse - I DIDN'T BOTHER TO FIX THEM!!!

That was just work!

It was just as bad when I left work!

~Austin calls me to inform me that he was invited to a birthday party for tonight.
I gotta go home pick him up and turn right around and drive back to town.

~Dropped Austin off and had to go to the store to find a birthday present. Guess what I ended up with - Card with $$$. No extra effort from me today!!!

~Gotta go BACK to the party to drop off the "gift". I ended up staying for a while to socialize with a couple of the parents, but in my mind all I wanted to do was head home.

~OK - get home and my husband wants to know where dinner is???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA - we were supposed to go eat at Marties with a couple of friends for Gingers birthday, but I had to miss out on that because my husband that is now asking for dinner got home late from work so we couldn't make it!
HMMM...he was on his own for dinner. Left-overs is what's for dinner - deal with it.

~My Phone rings at 9:30pm - Austin decided to stay the night with his friend so I don't have to drive back to town to pick him up! THAT WAS A HUGE RELIEF!!!

~Decided to hit the hay early, but heck naw... I just lay in the bed staring at the TV unable to fall asleep!

~So here I am - typing away and boring any reader I may have with my crappy day story.

ENJOY!!!!!!! I hope I made your day seem better!

SINGING THE BIRTHDAY BLUES!!!!

I have been celebrating other friends birthdays for the past two months like crazy!!! It's always fun to me to be around birthday celebrations except my own!!!! My 32nd birthday is in a couple of weeks and I'm not looking forward to turning another year older. I know most of you are saying, "Well who does dumb butt", but it just feels different now that I'm in my 30's.
MY OWN BIRTHDAY'S JUST SUCK!!!
Maybe I won't cry this year...(HUH...WISHFUL THINKING!!!)

Take Me Out To The Ball Game...

OK...Baseball season has officially started, FINALLY!!!! Austin is going to play in the park as well as still play with the tournament team. The park team started practice yesterday and today. It felt so good to get out and watch the kids practice. I love the summer time!!!!
Now that the season has started everyone knows what I will be doing.
~~~No more going out with friends....

My life will be at the baseball fields!!!!! See ya when fall gets here!!!!!!!!!
Love ya Aimee

My New Love

OK...Picture this...

I am laying in my bed typing on my BRAND NEW LAPTOP!!! HELL YEAH BABY!!!
I LOVE IT!
I have been looking for a new computer for a while now and I just couldn't find the right one online. Well Todd, me, Austin, my friend Cristin and her niece Brooklyn went to Tupelo to eat at the OG (mmm...mmm...yummy... yummy!) Saturday night. We left there and Best Buy was right there so I asked Todd if he would mind if we just checked it out. I am glad I did!!! I found my new love. It's a Gateway 15.4", 512mb, 80gb with the CD/DVD burner drive. I wanted one a little bit bigger with Lightscribe, but this is the one that fit my budget the best. I plan on buying an external Lightscribe in a couple of months. But my next goal is to figure out how to make this thing go wireless. It has the capabilities, but I haven't figured it all out yet.

Todd always tells me that I am spoiled, but I always say that I'm not, but I guess in a way that I am!!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!

Time for bed...be back soon.
