Being an adult is overrated!

I'm sitting here waiting on a "drain technician" to come snake my sink because it's clogged. The first guy came and wanted almost $300. Uhhh thanks but no thanks!

I turn 30 in less than 2 weeks. What?!? So many thoughts. So I'm just going to ignore them all. :) I have created a "30 in 30" list. 30 things to do during my 30th year! I'm up to 26. Any suggestions to help me finish my list?? It needs to be attainable and affordable!!

One thing I put on my list is to write more. A minimum of 1x/month. Aiming big here people. Hahaha Maybe I should change that to 1x/week?!?

And now a photo dump, like I promised a week ago.  :)

Tenley and Molly

This is how they wait in the mornings for their treat before I go to work. They know the routine! 

Photobombed by Lucy ;)

It's a win when your beer and koozie match!

My nails the other day. :)

Jasper

My boy is such a snuggler! :)

Gracie sitting and watching out the window this morning. They all love the window!!

Some people think these 17 year cicadas are cool. I think they are disgusting and need to LEAVE!

Sushi and beer last Fri to celebrate the beginning of summer! Mmmm I wish they delivered!

Be my friend?

So I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately.  I love them.  I find them fascinating.  If I ever became a counselor outside of a school I would want to be a marriage and family counselor.  But as much as I love them, I get so frustrated by them.  Where on Earth does a twenty-something girl go to make friends?!?

I LOVE my group of girlfriends.  They've been my friends since High School and I hope they always will be my friends, BUT ... they are all married with kids.  I am not married nor do I have any kids nor do I have any desire to get married or have kids any time soon.  I feel so disconnected from them.  The things we each have to talk about, neither can relate to.  Not to mention when I want to go out and do something most times they can't b/c hello, kids, babysitter, jealous husbands, etc.  Also, spoiler, I'm not your typical girl.  I'd much rather be out at a bonfire, out fishing, at a rodeo, or at the dirt tracks then at the mall or a club.  Turns out not a lot of girls like going out and doing these things. And girls get jealous if you hang out with their boyfriends/husbands without them.   So that means I don't get to go out and do these things often. The two girlfriends I had that liked that type of stuff ... one moved to MT and the other and I aren't friends anymore thanks to a long crappy night.  Maybe I need to learn to just go out and do things by myself.  But that seems so lame.  I don't want to go out and do things alone lol

Also, I cannot deal with fake people, especially fake girls.  I'm over the whole "oh em gee you're my best friend" but then we never talk or you only call when it's convenient/you're bored type of friendships.

I'm not trying to whine or anything (hopefully it isn't coming off as that, b/c I really do love my friends!), but I'm serious ... where do people go to make new friends??

In other relationship news ... a guy I went on a couple dates with TWO YEARS AGO just re-friend requested me on FB. What?

And because it seems no blog post is that good unless it has a few memes ...

haha! Oh so true!

How some people make me feel.

LOL

*insert sheepish hello here*

I've been thinking about blogging more and more lately.  I miss writing.  A lot.  And I miss having a way to look back on big events.  Since the lovely Juliette tagged me in her post today, I feel like I should at least update this. ;)  School is winding down and one of my goals is to blog more this summer.  Wish me luck! ;)

My house is basically DONE! Woooooo Hoooo!!! I still need to do work on the basement, it is only partially finished and completely unorganized lol, but that will come with time.  That's another summer goal. ;)  Also this summer I want to build a 6ft privacy fence.  I have a 4ft chain link one now, which I had hoped would be enough, buuuuuttttt I'm having a little issue with the neighbor dogs.  The one dog is outside 24/7 and all it does is bark and growl at me and my dogs if they are outside.  I've tried talking to the neighbor to see if they will do something, but they won't.  I've called the city, but so far nothing has changed.  A fence seems to be my only option.  Probably is, a 6ft fence is expensive. :-\  Yesterday I called the city again and they said try animal control or the city attorney.  I really don't want to take this to court if I can avoid it.  Anyone out there have any suggestions or ideas???

Only 7 more days until I wrap up my 3rd year as an Elementary School Counselor.  I can't believe it!  Sometimes it seems the year has drug on and other times it seems like it's flown by.  The past week or so has been extra stressful as the kids are in rare form lol But honestly, I LOVE my principal and I'm really enjoying the two schools I'm at now.  It's a nice change from where I was! :) I have several changes for the next school year I would like to make, so we'll see how those go over. ;) Haha!

I started selling Jamberry Nail Wraps.  I looooooove them and I love selling them.  I did have to take a little break for awhile, I burnt myself out with hosting parties, but I'm back and ready to rock!

I'll come back and update with an adorable photo dump later. :)
