Say for example you share an office with three people. One of them is a full time employee, the other is a student. Let's just say that the day has been going on rather nice and carefree, but you realize that the office is quiet. For some reason, there is no music on which is not normal. So you reach over and flip your radio on. Then you notice within SECONDS that your office mate who isn't a student flips on hers as well only after you turned yours on and has made sure to turn it up so you now hear not only yours, but hers as well. What the hell do you do? Do you ask her to turn it down? Do you just not say anything because you don't want to cause problems?
Let's just say that you listen to her radio almost every day and you listen to the same station each day. That means you are hearing the same song over and over and over and it really does start to get old no matter how much you may like the station or the songs. Wouldn't you think one day of having another station on wouldn't be a bad thing, but a nice change?!?!?!?
What would you say to your office mate if this were you?

Able to Breathe
I finally feel like I am catching up at work with the power outage, people being gone, this being a busy time with school about to start. The phone is constantly ringing and there are constantly people walking in and needing something. The good thing about this is that it makes time go by so fast. Unfortunately, me being so busy at work keeps me from actually posting and also from reading what is going on with everyone else! I still have to catch up from when I was in Park City AND write about my trip. I don't have the pictures yet, but I am sure I can write about it for now and then post pictures later. So tomorrow I will take some time to do that for sure...
The weekend we just had was super eventful. I don't know how things get so crazy and how there is always so much going on all at once. The boy and I went spot lighting on Friday night just the two of us. We seriously had the best time. We talked and laughed about things for hours. It is so nice to be with someone that you can spend hours upon hours with and never tire of them and actually want to spend more time. That is how it was. We left town around 5:30 and didn't go to sleep until 4:00am! It was one of the best nights I have had and one that I wouldn't mind repeating. We got up at 6:30am to drive back to town. I had a family reunion I needed to be at by 11. We didn't make it by 11, but that was because when we got into town, we made some breakfast and took some time getting ready. The best part about it is I didn't even have to ask Eli to go. He just came because he wanted to...like it was natural. It was cute. We spent hours with my family. I actually had family in town from Ireland. It was their first time EVER being in the States before. They danced, sang, drank...oh they were fun. Eli and I were tired from only getting a couple hours of sleep, so we left for a few hours to nap, but were able to make it back to the family gathering that moved from the park to my grandpa's house. It was such a long day, but so nice. I love my family. They are so much fun and Eli really fit in and got along well with everyone.
Sunday was a great day. We got to sleep in which felt so freaking good! It seems that we are always so much on the go, but oh the fun that we have. So Sunday we got up, got some stuff done around the house, went to lunch and then just cruised around doing whatever made us happy. Then we stopped to play some pool and have a couple drinks. Then home for dinner and a movie. Just a nice relaxing day that was very much needed. I swear him and I have more fun together. It is so nice how things have worked out. I am one lucky girl!

What to Do
What do you do when you have something that you want to say someone, but you are unsure how to say it or even how to approach the situation? What do you do when you know that you are blatantly being lied to? I honestly think that lying is the worst thing in the entire world. I would so much rather be told the truth about something than be lied to. Maybe it is just me. I just don't understand people some times. It is so amazing that you can think that you have friends and you put trust in them and then all of a sudden you are let down because you realize there are so many people that are out for themselves. They don't care about you or anything that has to do with you. They care about them and saving face.
It is amazing to me the amount of people that go behind other people's backs. I have learned through the years that you can't trust everyone and sitting back you really see the types of games that get played. I am learning that there are people in my life, that act as though they care about me, my situation and all that is going on, but it is just that...an act. I am tired of adults playing the games of high school children. I am tired of people "acting" like a friend. Why go through the effort to act? Honestly, you could spend the energy on something else so much more satisfying in the long run.
This may make no sense, but it is just how I am feeling right now. Other than that, my life couldn't be better and I couldn't be happier. I am still planning on posting about my weekend a couple weeks ago. I have just been super crazy busy at work.

Goodness
I have been wanting to write about the concert and my weekend but have been so busy at work. Actually I didn't even come to work on Wednesday and took a sick day. Then yesterday I came to work, worked half a day and then half of campus lost power due to a transformer catching on fire. It was nuts! So we were sent home since we couldn't work (everything we do is on computers). Therefore, I couldn't even play with my blog and catch up on others. Oh well. So now it looks like I will have to wait until next week to update on everything. Maybe then I will be able to post some pictures as well. Right now, I am going to close up and go home for a fun filled weekend we have ahead of us.

Can't Believe I Forgot!
Over the last weekend, Eli and spent all our time together. We did the most random things since we had no plans for once and just did anything and everything that we wanted to do. It was so nice and we really had a great time together. I have never been with someone before that I was able to spend so much time with and not get tired of them or get annoyed. It is the opposite with him and I. It makes me want more time.
On Sunday, we went shooting at the Gun Club and then went to BJ's with his parents. I had mentioned to him earlier in the day that I wanted to stop by Target and pick up a new purse. I am just sick of the little one I have been carrying around and was ready for something a little bigger and wasn't about to go spend a shit ton of money on one. I was ok settling for a cheap purse for now. After lunch we get in the truck and he says, "You still want to get that new purse?" Of course I say yes. And that is when I was told he was taking me to the Coach store where I best find something I liked since I didn't the last time we went in there. I looked at him like he was an alien! My response to him was something along the lines of, "Honey, there is a big difference between $20 and $300. Let's just go to Target." I lost that battle. I had no choice but to go in the Coach store. (I hated every minute of it...hahaha) Now, last time he took me in there, I did a very good job not to let him see me linger on any purse for too long and therefore was able to walk out of the store without a new purse. I tried doing the same thing on Sunday, but no such luck. The sneaky thing saw the one that caught my eye and I couldn't lie to him about liking the damn thing. I truly did try to talk him out of getting it, but I lost and I ended up walking out of the store with my pretty new purse in hand. It is oh so beautiful. I will have Shannon help me and put up a picture of it tomorrow for sure.
I love being spoiled and loved!! =)

Maybe
I started thinking about my attitude the past week and a half or so. I realize, I have had no ambition at work. I am getting annoyed at little things and feel like my days never end. I hate to complain and get so frustrated when things seem to drag on. I always used to think that the days could never drag on if you kept busy and always had something to do. HA! That was until last week and this week rolled on into my life. I have had my fair share of work to be done. Especially this week so far with our office being one person short. This week isn't as bad as last week, but still not great. I just don't get what the hell.
Then I came to a conclusion. I just need a break. I need a break from the office. I just need time away, more than just the weekend. And lucky for me, I get the break I so very much need this weekend...which could also be why this week isn't go by all that quick. I am so excited for my weekend. On Friday night I am going to the Rascal Flatts concert in Tahoe. It's going to be such a good time. I booked these tickets for myself on Valentine's day. No, I am not going to the concert alone. I will be going with Kara, her fiance Paul, my sister and my mom. It should be a good time. I am actually hoping to get my mom good and liquored up because she is a blast and starts to get all crazy. Her and I had a good time drunk in Cabo! I hope my friends get to see her in rare form! I was thinking about drinking that night, but then decided I will be the good one to make sure that we all make it back to Reno safe. We were going to stay up in Tahoe, but the rooms were too expensive and my friends and I are catching a plane early Saturday morning. So I will get us all home safe and be able to spend the rest of the night with Eli and then him and the kiddos will drop me at the airport in the morning. I am happy that I get to see them before I leave.
On Saturday will be going to Park City, Utah to plan my best friends wedding. I am so excited. It will be four days with just us girls. It is the first time that the three of us will have gone on a trip together. That is just insane to me. So I get two days off next week...very much needed. From what I hear, the three of us are going to have our own condo and there are so many things that we are going to be doing. It should be nothing short of a great time. We will definitely be getting a ton of pictures, so maybe, I will share them since I have never posted a picture on my blog.
