So what Wednesday on a Tuesday...again...

So what if today I am signing papers to own a business.  I need two homes, more responsibility and an excuse to over commit...said no one EVER but I'm excited anyway...

So what if New Years Eve used to be a great excuse to go out and party but now I am I'm looking forward to relaxation, my Darb, and a bottle of wine.  My age is becoming more apparent every single day...

So what if I may be addicted to going to Klamath Falls.  When you have to do it every Saturday of your life it becomes part of you.  How will I ever live without it??...


So what if I've decided Christmas as an adult kind of sucks.  There are no gifts but lots of extra work.  How is that even legal??...

So what if our version of "Restaurant Impossible" begins Thursday.  Anyone out there who needs something to do between now and the 13th can go ahead and report to the Happy Horse...

So what if when I just typed the above sentences my heart started beating faster and my hands got sweaty.  It will be fine...It will be fine...It will be fine...

So what if Tater has asked two days in a row when I will be getting groceries.  What??  You can't make lunch with powdered sugar, sprinkles and an egg??  My poor babies...

So what if I am so over building a fire that I'm seriously thinking about putting fuel in my monitor.  If only I didn't have to mortgage my house and sell a kidney to do that...

So what if I feel like cell phones have replaced real life for kids.  They don't have to hang out with friends...they sit at home and Snap Chat instead.  They don't have to learn to spell words correctly...abbreviations have replaced words...OMG.  Oh!!  And somewhere number signs became hashtags # which is really confusing for someone of my technological knowledge...WTH...

BTW (hehe) thank you so much for all of the great support I have gotten on my new venture.  I can't wait for you to come and visit me.  Sweet cell phones-

So What Wednesday on a Tuesday...

So what if Christmas is tomorrow and I still don't feel like it should be.  Can someone please come over and create the Christmas spirit for me???  Time is running out!  Anyone?...Anyone?...

So what if it turns out that Bunco, wine, and pajamas is even more fabulous then I thought.  My one suggestion...maybe Bunco should be on the weekend...work on Friday can be brutal...just sayin...

So what if I didn't win the ugly sweater contest at the party on Saturday night.  It was my favorite one and truly that is all that matters.  If you've seen the sweater on face book than I'm sure you are thinking this...so classy...

So what if the word on my ugly sweater is a word of endearment for me.  Again...classy stuff. 

So what if I'm already trying to figure out when I can take my Christmas tree down and not make my kids cry.  I'm thinking I might get away with tomorrow night.  Is that bad??  I know...I know...it is...dang it...mother of the year right here...

So what if I've found my long lost sister at the age of 37.  Truthfully, she really isn't my sister but we have so much in common you might think so.  Smut TV, SOA, baking at midnight, running, committing to way too much, loathing spiders, eating copious amounts of cookie dough!!  Crazy minds think alike...

So what if trying to reach a weight loss goal over Christmas may just be the most ridiculous thing I have ever done.  Cookies...fudge...pie...cake...candy...are sooooooo dumb...

So what if it might take me falling and breaking something to not run outside.  Like I have said so many times before...the dreadmill (my name for treadmill) sucks...end of story...

Merry Christmas everyone.  Wishing you a fabulous holiday.  Sweet Christmas-

So what Wednesday...


So what if my Tater had a little collision with the curb.  It was minor damage (only his tire was hurt) and I'm pretty sure that he will be SLLLLLLLLOWING down on the snow and ice...

So what if I am currently the president of procrastination.  Lately, I seem to live by the motto...why do today, what can be done tomorrow.  In my defense...I've been a little over booked (which it totally my own fault)...

So what if my first Christmas tree died and I had to get a new one over the weekend.  This meant undecorating and redecorating the tree that I complained so much about decorating the first time.  I'm pretty sure it was God's way of trying to teach me a lesson about my Scroogie Christmas spirit...

So what if Tale's legitimately stayed home sick on Monday but during the day felt better and cleaned my house which made me glad she was feeling under the weather and missed school.  I realize that I don't deserve mommy of the year for this one but the help was so nice and needed...

So what if I always feel pressure when I bring food to social events especially now that anything I make is a direct reflection of my upcoming business.  What to bring...it has to be fabulous...what to bring...it has to be fabulous...

So what if my poor doggies had to drink the Christmas tree water because I didn't notice they were out.  Taking care of two humans and two dogs who think they are human is hard work...enough said!!...

So what if I don't wander around the house in a chevron print maxi dress and 4" platform heels making Christmas trees from ice cream cones and organizing my pantry with chalk board painted gift tags.  Pinterest is a big fat liar...that isn't real life or at least not my real life...

So what if P.J.'s is the theme for tomorrow nights Bunco.  If looking forward to hanging out with friends wearing pajamas and drinking wine is wrong then I don't want to be right...

That's it folks...Sweet pajamas-

So What...What...Wednesday...


So what if being a parent to teenagers is literally the hardest job I have EVER done!!  I'm sure I will survive but can we please go back to the good ol' days?? 

So what if I started working at the Happy Horse part time this week and thought my previous experience would be an advantage only to find out that it really isn't.  I'm 20+ years older...enough said...

So what if I still haven't sent Christmas cards.  I apologize in advance to anyone out there who would have gotten one because lets face it...NOT going to happen...

So what if a pipe broke in my ceiling and water came streaming into my living room like a waterfall.  It was a good thing that I was home that afternoon or we may have been canoeing through the house...

So what if I'm seriously thinking that renting may be the way to go.  Who has the time or money for home ownership (i.e. broken pipes)???...

So what if I'm already over the cold/snow and it is only December 11th.  I'm still trying to figure out why I live in Lakeview...

So what if I finally broke down and ran on Darb's treadmill.  It sucked just like I remember but the alternative was running on snow in -10° temperatures.  Come on warmer weather...I need you...

So what if my ugly Christmas sweater isn't really as much ugly as it is funny.  I might not win the competition but I'm pretty much in love with it...

It is sad that this has been the only thing I have posted in a while.  Please bare with me. :)  Sweet sweater-

So What Wednesday...

So what if Tate thinks that I keep the house too warm...it was like the Arctic here last night and I refuse to freeze.  The blazing fire must go on...

So what if when I think about this being my last full week at AmeriTitle I hyperventilate.  They say change is good.  I'm sure hoping so...

So what if my dad doesn't know it yet but I have hired him to be my maintenance/snow remover/dish washer man at the Happy Horse.  He will figure it out soon enough...

So what if I secretly wish that I had a personal chef.  I can't help it...I love cooking for others but not myself...

So what if there are about 5,862 things that I need to do to open my business.  That just means I have to do 143 +/- extra things every day between now and January 1, 2014 (the day I take over the Happy Horse)...no problem...

So what if I am in the minority when it comes to texting.  Maybe it is my ancient phone but seriously, if it is going to take more than 3 texts then just make the phone call already!!  Who has time for that?...

So what if I enjoyed the Gary Allen concert last weekend in Reno more than I expected.  It was a good time and he is pretty easy on the eyes...

So what if I can run in the dark at night but not in the morning.  Call me crazy (which I probably am) but morning dark is much scarier than evening dark...just sayin...

Sweet crazy-
