Road trip preparedness!

I'm about to go on a mini road trip to the other side of the state. That's about a 6 hour drive. I've got 4 days to prepare.

A clean and we'll maintained car is a must:
Tires checked
Oil change current
Fluids and belts good
Trunk and back seat cleaned
Windows and mirrors clean
Emergency roadside kit in trunk
Sled in trunk in case of snow fun
Gas up the day before

Packing for an adventure:
Backpacks
Shirts, pants, undies, socks, shoes, PJs, flip flops, hoodies
Soap, shampoo, conditioner, loofa, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss
Make-up, brush, blow dryer, straitener, pony tailers,  sun glasses
Art supplies, book, journal, markers, sketch pad

Be prepared:
Stash money in car, wallet and multiple backpacks.
Phone, Charger and car charger
Phone numbers
Map
Music

Always be aware of your surroundings. Check your tires at stops. Keep hydrated and eat to keep your energy. Pay attention.

If you see something fun stop and check it out! The whole point of a road trip is to have a good time and make your own adventure!

Tired

Of course the day he comes home I can't freaking sleep! Pppffftttttt!!!!! Now I'm tired and feel like crap... Coffee didn't fix it now it's onto rock star... I don't think anything except a 4 hour nap could actually help at this point tho. Ugh!!! I need sleep!!!

Believe

Today a miracle will happen. Will you be the creator or recipient? Anything is possible if you believe in the magic within.

Any moment can be a monumental life changing moment, it's how you choose to embrace it, reject it or deal with it that will either make you or break you. What do you choose? How will you affect your world and the people around you? What can you do to make your life as amazing as possible?

Have a great day y'all!

Beach trip March 2014

This weekend was spent in the company of family friends in Grayland, Washington. Bonfire, beach, seashell hunting and then painting them, shopping, delicious foods, board games, adventure, pirating, waves crashing, sunsets, wind and kites, watched Splash, built sand castles... Kinda lol, and searched for hidden treasures!

We had a fantastic time, the only one missing is my hubby who's off playing soldier right meow. Lucky guy tho, he went to his first hockey game last night and got a shirt, hat and signed puck. I'm totally jelly! I love hockey!!!!!

I'm not really sure if I can actually force myself to pack up and leave, I've been having so much fun. The weather has been absolutely  amazingly breathtaking. Sunshine for days. Only a wisp or two of clouds here and there in the distance. Just enough wind to fly my new mini dragon kite I bought because I left the panda kite at home that I bought last year at the end of the season.

I should live at the beach. The beach calls to my soul, the sea is part of me, it is who I am.

Good morning world!

Morning y'all!

It's Thursday so I get to see a lot of throwback pictures on the Facebook :-P Today is the last day of my work week! Wooohooo!!! I think I might want to go to the movies tonight but can't decide if there's anything I really want to watch or if I'd be going just to go. OR, I could just get completely wasted with friends tonight! Hmmmm decisions decisions....

Yesterday took for freaking ever at work, felt like a 12 hour day when in reality it was 5. I'm really hoping today goes by at normal word if not faster!! I think it took so long because I was going to lunch with my cuzzy wuzzy and godson, whom I might add is the handsomest little man ever!!! Love that baby!! We went to the Olive Garden, it was fun.

Well, I hope y'all have a fantastic day and try not to get into to much trouble.... I only said try ;+)

Randomness

Sometimes I just feel the  overwhelmingness of the world around me. Struck with awe, wondering in amazement at the beauty that is Earth. I'm a lil bored right now just watching random shows. YaY. Texting with my bestie

Lasting effect of being shot

One thing nobody tells you about getting shot is that years down the road, there will be those split second moments where it feels like you've been shot again. It's only for a moment but, wow, that moment is intense.

Just a few minutes ago, I'm geekin on my phone and my hip just explodes in pain. I literally screamed out. My dogs just looked at me like I was crazy. It was like the bullet ripped right through it again and then it was gone, completely back to my “normal".

There are certain things I had actually believed when I got shot, like I had thought I would actually heal... Ha! Jokes on me.... Before tho, I had never had anything worse then bumps and bruises so my reality of what heals was so off. My doctors think I healed wonderfully for everything that happened. Me, I wish I could kneel, I wish I could do so many things that are just constricted in my everyday lifestyle but I can't and I still try.

Let's hope that there are no more shadow pains today. I'm not really into screaming out in pain if there isn't a current cause.
