I'm 34! So why does my face keep breaking out like I'm a teenager in High School? I know that sometimes stress and "that time of the month" can play a part, but come on.. still at the age of 34?
So what am I gonna do about it? Well I went online and ordered some Proactive. You know that stuff you constantly see Jessica Simpson advertise.
I should get it in 2-3 weeks. The website (and some of the stories on there) say that you'll see a difference within a week. I hope so, I'm tired of trying all sorts of stuff to no avail.
I'll keep you posted! ;-)
Oh, and this is my 90th post... 10 more till 100! :-)

4th of July Weekend
Ah, so much has gone on this week...
3rd of July:
I've been with my company for 14 years, about 10 of those in Admin. And in those 10 years we have ALWAYS had the day before the 4th as a half day. So much so we expect it and plan things for that day, which I did. So on the 3rd I go in to work my half day and boss comes around to tell us that Corporate has decided today is a full day, no half day! WHAT? If I had known that I would have taken a vacation day, I have things I need to do. I did think about just leaving but I did stick it out all day.
That evening I met up with my best friend and my sister to watch Addison's Kaboomtown! They are the best fireworks I've ever seen. They are good every year. I did forget to bring my radio to listen to the music that they organize it to. And every year they have old war planes fly by until it gets dark. We sat this year in front of the air strip so we could watch them take off and land. And this year it was their 50 year anniversary for flight shows so they did extra stuff. They had a stunt plane and it was sooooo cool!
4th of July:
This was my last day to sleep in by myself. Mr. M was scheduled to come home around Midnight but managed to get an earlier flight.
I found out today that my company has been purchased by someone else. I'm a little shocked because we are rather a huge company!!! Of course the next days to come will be interesting. Oh and we hadn't even been told that it was happening, just came out. I heard that all the meetings said the same thing the press release said, which was a bunch of nothing. I'm about 50/50 in concerns with loosing my job.
I went over to Computer Diva's house for about an hour to visit before leaving to pick up Mr. M.
After we stopped to get something to eat we went home. By then it was dark and it was obvious that many were doing fireworks in our neighborhood.
I don't think that it's legal and truthfully this year I wasn't that concerned about it. We've had so much rain the past 2 months that I wasn't really worried about a fire. I think that's what everyone else's thoughts were because I've not seen that many people doing fireworks in the neighborhood and with the BIG ones they set off.
When we just got home I looked out the window and noticed a cop talking to our neighbors. I went out and asked what they wanted. Poor guy, his little dashboard was nothing but fireworks complaints and he was trying to catch them. I stood out there for a while and watched the fireworks and here comes the cops again, lights off hoping people wouldn't notice. There was a house a few down from us that were doing some out of their backyard. The cop stopped and got out on top of his car to try and figure out which house it was. I don't know if he caught anyone or not. He was complaining that he thought people or kids were acting as look outs and telling people he was coming... um, yeah.
5th and 6th of July:
Not much going on. Let Mr. M get some well deserved rest after his canoe trip with his friends. We did get out to mow the yard yesterday as the sun was finally out. Grass was still a bit wet and a little long in the back so still made it a little difficult. Finally able to fertilize since April. M&M I think was happy that the high grass was cut down. We let her out for a late night pee and she was making mad dashes around the yard! Funny
I finally tell Mr. M about the company buy out, of course he goes into panic mode!
7th of July:
Yep today! You know, that lukcy 777 day that everyone is talking about? Tonight we're going over to the Computer Diva's house for a late 4th of July celebration. Plus one last horrah before her brother goes to the Navy.
Hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July!

Stay Away From the Creeks!
We have had rain for almost two months. It's not constant 24 hours a day of rain, but on some days it lasts forever!
News Flash! When it's been raining like it has, and sometimes just a down pour you can't believe, the creeks have more water in them than they are used to. And guess what? That water isn't sitting still, it's flowing so fast that adults are swept away!
I'm not sure how many near deaths we've had so far and how many deaths we have had, but it just amazes me to watch the news as fire crews pulling out people from these creeks. Were you not watching the news the last 2 months when they talk about this? Were you not watching last week when they announced a 13 year old was one of the latest victims?
Parents - tell your kids the danger of these creeks that are swelling of too much water. AND keep an eye on them!!!!!
I don't think I can really blame the kids, maybe the slightly older ones like the 13 and 14 year old kids from today who had to be rescued. These kids should have more sense.
I just don't understand people sometimes.
BTW, I'm 13 posts away from my 100th post! :-)

Damn June Bugs!
I'ts about 11pm last night and I'm sleeping and all of a sudden I feel something under the sheets crawling on my leg. I fling my covers off and jump out of bed tried to find whatever the hell it is. I move the covers around I'm searching. Finally I see this June Bug crawling on one of the pillows on the bed. I grabbed some toilet paper, grabbed the June Bug and down the toilet it went. I know, they don't do any harm but when you wake up from a nice sleep with a scratchy crawly thing under the sheets with you I'd like to know what you'll do....
Now when I did this I definitely woke M&M with a start. I had to let her know that it was okay. I didn't have to worry about waking Mr. M because he wasn't even at home. Where was he you ask?
--------------------------
Mr. M is officially on vacation for a week. He left today for Chicago to spend about 5 days with his buddies he used to cook with and they're all going on a canoe trip. So Mr. M got an early start to his vacation by leaving work at about 1pm Friday to meet with his friend to watch a movie at the local Movie Tavern. I found out that his friends brother-in-law was there as well, I like them both so it's okay.
Movie started at 3pm, they all met at about 2pm to get a start on the beer. When Mr. M came home before the movies he went ahead and put M&M outside because it wasn't raining. When I got home about 3:30 or so M&M had escaped. again. I did finally get her back (lady found her and was boarding her in her vet's office as she was getting ready to go out of town. I wonder if dog's have 9 lives like cats?) While Mr. M is watching the movie I also take care of getting our internet and phones back on (they had gone out Thursday night - same provider).
I guess the moview was over around 5:30ish or so but Mr. M wanted to still hang out for about another hour because he's on vacation and it's pouring rain so he doesn't really want to drive yet. Ok, no problem but don't forget your flight leaves at 6am and you haven't packed yet!
About 2 hours later (so about 7:30/8pm) I check on him and they are out at a pool hall. Mr. M asks if I'm upset. Well I'm a little miffed. It's the last night you're home before you go out of town for 5 days and your out with your friends instead of at home with me. He says he'll be home in 10 minutes and hangs up.
30 minutes later he calls back so we can talk. He's really having a good time and would really like to stay out. He's on vacation and he doesn't feel like it. Fine, stay out and have a good time. I still don't have your flight information for myself and he gives me his email account info to find it. I remind him that he leaves at 6am and you haven't packed yet.
I do discover that his flight is closer to 7am but still he's not home and he hasn't packed.
I go to bed around 10pm, try to call him to let him know. He calls around 11pm to say they're going to get something to eat then he'll be home. June bug incident happens. Mr. M gets home about 11:45 and all of a sudden realizes he has to get up in a few hours to be at the airport in time for his flight and he hasn't packed! Really? Shock to me. He's all upset because he didn't make the right decisions (yep) He should have come home earlier to take care of his packing (yep) He should have been home with me (yep). Of course all the yep's were internal. He apologizes. But he decides he would like to go to bed now because he's tired and half drunk. No problem with me. Only thing I have to do is get up and take you to the airport and go back to bed.
Luckily he goes to sleep quickly. Unluckily it starts thundering real bad outside and M&M is ancy. I kick her out of the bedroom.
The alarm goes off so early - 3:30am. I get dressed. Of course Mr. M is tired and a little concerned about packing. Luckily he did wash everything he needed on Thursday so it was basically thought out. Of course I help out in the packing.
Now the second adventure is whether or not his plane will actually leave on time as DFW airport has been backed up for days now with all the rain. He got lucky that they were kind of caught up now. Of course I didn't tell him as we were driving to the airport that his first flight of two today is on one of those peddal pushers. He did learn this at the airport.
His flight got out on time. He made it to his final destination and now on his way to his friends. I hope he enjoys his 5 days of vacation.

Fun Quote
If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?
----------------------------
I've been away for about a week, not really away just not at my desk. Well it's raining - again - and my cable is out so I figured I'd play catch up. Got a few blogs I need to visit, maybe say a few words of my own...
----------------------------
Speaking of cats above, C-Girl has been very interesting lately. All weekend she has been sitting in my lap. Okay, this cat is not my "lovable" cat, she's my talker. But everytime I sat down she'd crawl up in my lap, clean herself, curl up and sleep. When I got home today I was sitting in front of the tv (before we lost it) she crawled up in my lap. Just funny.
----------------------------
Man oh man I had way too many adult beverages on Friday night. I had a recipe for a yummy martini I had at a restaraunt a few months back and brought it with me. Well they said they could make it b
ut it was gonna cost like $20 or something crazy. So we downsized. I had about 4-5 martinis on Friday.... I don't drink like that. When we got home (luckily this is one of those nights that Mr. M did not get toasted) I did pray a bit to the porcelein god {here's a funny story... when we moved in I noticed that our toilets are called "church", so I'm literly praying to the porcelein god... hee hee} Anywho, Mr. M helped me out of my clothes and into bed.

I woke up about 6:30 in the morning because M&M needed to go out so I stumble downstairs and let her out. I grab a midol and drink some gatorade. I stumble back upstairs to bed... I was still swirling and all that activity made me hot. I literly wasted my Saturday because of Friday night.
Well that happens to me maybe once a year so I guess I'm good.

Congratulations Mr. M!
Mr. M found out today that he received his new title that he's been wanting.
Luckily he'll receive a slight raise to help support his addiction to Red Bull. :-)

Prayers for Fallen Firefighters
I just read the story on MSN about the 9 firefighters killed fighting a fire in South Carolina.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of their friends and families and to the remaining firefighters who lived and worked closely with them.
