organizing

Since I started working at my dad's office (a law office) I have straightened a lot of things up. The first day I started full time I reorganized my office and cleaned out all the desk drawers and cabinets. I threw away a bunch of stuff and rearranged my desk to work better. Karen the lady who handles real estate in our office soon followed suit. She also rearranged her desk and began going through old files that hadn't been killed (everything is done and they've paid) yet that needed to be. A few days later Cathy who works on many of the other types of cases we have did the same thing. I have also cleaned out and organized our supply closet and mail room. I cleaned up one of our walk in closets that we keep killed files in and made room for more in there. I cleaned up and organized 2 bookshelves that we have in the hall way that had files, boxes of files, and our Rolodex's of killed files. My mother is constantly complaining about how slow her computer works and how she can't do a lot of things on the internet. Well yesterday I finally told her to move and let me fix it lol. I deleted a ton of websites that she had bookmarked several times, some that were no longer there and some that were just old and she didn't need. I switched her over to firefox and got rid of explorer. I cleaned up her desktop and organized her files. She had multiples of so many things it was ridiculous. Anyways now she thinks I'm a genius hahaha. . . even though that was all simple stuff that she just doesn't think about doing to her computer. I also cleaned out my dad's old phone messages that our on our computers. There were messages that went all the way back to 2009. So I checked to see if they were a client and we had their contact info and then I would delete them. It took a while but I did the ones from 2009, all of 2010 and up to June of 2011. I'd like to clean up my dad's computer too but it's hard to do with him always working. O well. I've also been slowly working on the attic. It is a nightmare. Files in boxes, on bookshelves that dad built, in filing cabinets. There in order but there spread out around the room so I have to walk back and forth from one shelf to another when I'm searching for several different files. And there are also boxes of our personal stuff like me and my sisters old stuff animals, comforter and sheet sets, dad's toys from when he was a child, rugs, a trombone, tons of my moms books, etc. So I'm going through every once in a while and bringing stuff down going through it, deciding what to keep and what to throw away. If it's person stuff then we're taking it home to store there lol. That's where I think it should belong at least so that's what we're doing. Anyways that's I really enjoy organizing and arranging things. There's just something about it that I like and gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I don't know lol.

WOO WEE

This weekend was a crazy one. For starters I get a message on Facebook Friday morning from this girl Brittany. She's Ashley's maid of honor. So she's throwing Ashley a bridal shower and I was going to throw her a bachelorette party. Ashley & Brittany had decided that the shower would be on the 17th & the bach. party would be on the 24th. So that was all I knew. Ashley was supose to get me the names and numbers of the girls she wanted to invite. Anyways back to what I was saying. I got a message Friday morning from Brittany saying that her & Ashley had been talking & they wanted to go ahead and have the bach. party Saturday night after the shower. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!!! So I said ok and started googling bach. party games. lol. I did find some fun ones.

I went to lunch with Brooke on Friday and told her what was going on and she was pissed. I would have been pissed too but I didn't have time to be pissed I had to plan a party in a day! She textd Brittany and asked when the party was and Brittany said that she had told me that it was going to be on the 24th instead of the 17th now. I was like WHAT!?!?! So then I was really confused. Once I got back to work I checked facebook again and she had sent me another message saying never mind we will have it on the 24th, o wait Ashley just called me and said no she wants it after the shower. So now were back on for the next day geez! Brooke also txtd Ashley and asked what date it was and told her that she couldn't make it on Saturday b/c she had taken off the 24th for it. Then Ashley txts me saying I don't know why Brooke got the date wrong for the bach. party? whatever maybe the 3 of us can do something later. I txted her back that Brooke didn't get the date wrong. It was originally the 24th and that I had just found out that morning that it had been changed. Ashley was shocked. She said that her and Brittany had talked about it weeks ago and she thought that Brittany had told me. I said NOPE! She also said that Brittany had told everyone else to stay after the shower b/c we were going to have the bach. party afterwards. Well Brittany didn't do that either.

Friday night Brittany txted me a list of names and numbers and said to txt them the info about the party. So I did. And only 2 of them could make it. (NO SHIT B/C IT'S LAST MIN.) I was so pissed but I wasn't going to let it affect me yet. I was over at my friend Brad house watching tv with him trying to chill out before the crazy day I was going to have on Saturday.

Saturday comes and I had to run to home depo to get her a gift card b/c that's what they wanted, then I went to the dollar store and bought 12 wine glasses that I was going to decorate and give to the girls as gifts. I got 12 because I wasn't sure how many people were actually coming. Then I went to walmart and bought blue paper plates, napkins, and 30 balloons that matched her colors and also white balloons. I bought brownie mix, cheesits, chips, salsa, cheese dip, and 12 pack of Ashley's favorite beer and a whole bunch of Daileys strawberry daiquiris and a few margartias and the pomegranate kind. Since I didn't know how many people were going to be there and what they would like to drink I got a bunch and a variety of it. lol. Even the cashier asked me "are there any left on the shelf? hahaha. . . " I just chuckled and said yea. I however did not find it funny.

Anyways when I got home I imedeatly turned the oven on. I unpacked everything and started the brownies. Once those got in the oven I hand washed all 12 glasses. I ate some lunch while the glasses dried. Then I decorated them. I wrapped the stem of them with wire and had blue beads that matched her colors on them and a little dangily thing on them that said love. They were super cute!!! I was pretty proud of myself hahaha. Then I went down to the basement and blew up all the balloons it all it was about 60. Yea I think I'm probably crazy. I got the balloons all set up and brought everything downstairs except for the food.

I finally got to get dressed for the shower and go. I got there about 15 mins. late but it's ok cause several people couldn't even make it and another girl didn't get there till it was over. In total there were 6 of us there for the shower that includes Ashley. Then we went over to my house. I had gotten Ashley a sash that said bachelorrette on it and it lit up. It was pretty funny. I also got her a tiara that said the same thing and a glass that said "I'm getting married bitches". hahaha it was also pretty funny. The night went alright. The girls had a good time. We laughed a lot. Then they went over to Ashleys house. I stayed at home. I was so tired and exhausted from everything that day. Stress really takes a toll on you. My chest hurt, and my arthritis was bothering me, not to mention that I still have a stupid cough. I cleaned up the food and left the rest and then went straight to bed.

Well Sunday finally came around and I was so thankful for it. I just chilled out all day it was so nice. I hung out with Brad again and did nothing. Just reveled in the stress free day lol.

labor day weekend

Well Friday thanks to the hurricane and changing weather my throat was really sore so at lunch I went home to take a shower hoping that would make me feel better. Nope only made it worse. So I stayed home. My parents got home and we left for my sisters house. I felt awful on the way up. Had a terrible headache but I took some ibprofen and went to sleep. We got there and hung out with the kids for a while then we all went to bed. I sleep on the couch when I'm there. Well I didn't sleep that great that night so I was up before anyone else. Ashton had baseball practice that morning and we all went to that. Then Evan had a scrimmage game that afternoon that we went to. It was pretty hot out side and my nose was kinda stuffy. Other than that it was a pretty good day. I didn't sleep at all Saturday night. It was terrible. I woke up Sunday morning and ate some cereal with Ansley. We were suppose to go to the water park at Lake Lanier on Sunday. Well everyone went but me and Eddie. I was to sick to go and he just didn't feel like it. I spent all day sitting on the couch watching tv and dozing. Evan went to a spend the night party and Ashton brought home a friend to spend the night with him. I spent most of the night sitting on the couch with Ansley watching tv. However my dad, mom, eddie, erin and I did watch avatar which was nice. I didn't sleep all that great Sunday night but it was better than the night before. I woke up Monday and watched cartoons with Ashton and his friend. Which is what I feel like I did all weekend, watch cartoons. Anyways we didn't do much Monday, it was raining outside so we just layed around for a while until we left to go home. By that time a lot of my head congestion had moved into my chest. Which was really sore.

I didn't go to work Tuesday because I felt so bad. I did manage to get up and go buy some medicine. I got some mucinex dm for my chest. I took it last year when I had gotten so sick from my allergies and it worked well. However Tuesday I was not to thrilled about it. I got home took it, drank a whole glass of water like the directions say and started eating. After about 3 bites my stomach started cramping. Then it got worse and worse and worse. I was bent over in pain. There was no nausea just cramping. It was terrible. Turns out that's a side effect! How crappy is that! So that totally sucked. I spent the whole rest of the day laying in bed sleeping. Mom got home and fixed some pasta which I ate and it was wonderful probably just cause that was pretty much the only thing I ate that day. I also didn't got to work yesterday. I just needed one more day. I spent most of the day laying in bed watching tv and playing on the internet. I did eat lunch yesterday because I haven't taken any more medicine lol.

I had to go over to my friend Sarahs parents house last night and help her with a project for school. She has to make 4 videos interviewing a person about their health. This is for one of her nursing classes. Last nights video was all about my medical history, what types of medical problems I have like GERD, psoriasis, and asthma, and what medicine I take, all sorts of things. So that was kinda funny actually. It took us a while to figure out how to work the video camera but then we got it done great.

So that was my crappy labor day weekend. I am finally back at work but still have a bit of a cough and pretty congested but feeling much better than I was.
