May Favorites!

Since tomorrow is June (say what?!) I put together this post about some things that I have been absolutely loving during the month of May.  I always love reading other people's monthly favorites, so I figured I would jump on this fun bandwagon.  So here we go!

Keep on keepin' on.

Today is one of those days where you find out some news that you just don't want to hear.  I work every Saturday and I was able to get this weekend off, which left me stoked.  Had a good start to the morning but then the hubs and I got some news that leaves me feeling like I should have never taken the day off in the first place because GROWN UP PROBLEMS.  Ah well, not going to let it get me down, there's nothing I can do about it in the immediate future anyways, so we need some time to process things and let it iron itself out.  One thing is for sure though, I'm sending up prayers x1,000,000.

50/50

I definitely had a 50/50 day today.  Had to work in the morning, and that was no big deal...until one of my client's mothers decided to call up and throw a shit fit over the phone about her princess daughter.  Good times.  The thing that burned me up the most was the fact that we bent over backward and kissed major ass to keep these people on our good side for 6 months because we knew they were laced with crazy and it STILL didn't matter. I get so sick of pouring my energy into these women for months and months and trying to keep them calm and docile and give them an enjoyable experience at our store and  it never matters.

Ugh. Send wine.

But the day quickly got better when Joey and I went to pick out selections for our new house!  It was so fun and holy cow, I can't believe how many options there are out there for EVERYTHING.  We're not done yet but we have a really good idea of how the whole house will look now.  So yay!  Hopefully they will break ground sometime soon!

So that was my day, and now I'm super tired so I'm gonna relax with J and the pups before I turn in.

Night-o!

Straight shot right to the liver.

It has been lovely weather here for a whole week.  Hear that? One whole week of no-coats-needed weather.  It only took until May to get here but I won't complain because omg Colorado.

While spring for me means laying outside trying to get some rays or reading a book on the back patio while the dogs roam outside or playing tennis, for my husband sunshine and good weather and soft ground equals golf.  So I went to work on Saturday and hubs hit the links with my Dad and my sister's boyfriend.

When I got home from work, all of the guys were sitting in the living room, not saying much, but with goofy looks on their faces.  I was all what are you hiding and they were all heh heh heh heh heh.  I started joking with them saying that they must have done straight awful out there for the first round of golf for the season, and they all readily agreed.  My Dad had some unfortunate luck last year on the greens when he hit a magnificent drive and simultaneously launched his best wood driver into the nearest lake.  So this year I figured someone lost some sort of golf equipment again.

Until they showed me this:



This, folks, is what happens when a golf ball rockets into your husband's abdomen.  (You're welcome for that picture, internet).  As I tried to keep from fainting I launched into a state of 21 questions regarding WHERE?! and HOW?! and WHO DIDN'T YELL FORE?!  As it turns out, my Dad happened to have another unfortunate season opener.  Apparently, he was stuck in the rough and my husband moved far out of the way so that he could take a straight shot down the fairway about 200 yards.  Instead, he sliced that SOB 90 degrees to the right at full speed.

Obviously, this earned him a trip to the ER where the doctor said he had to have a CT scan to check to make sure his liver wasn't fractured and bleeding. ::blinkblink::  I had the pleasure of learning that when you are hit that hard in the abdomen, your organs don't give when they are hit hard and fast...they just... split.  Hold me closer, Tony Danza.  And if this happens, they bleed and need surgery.  THANK GOD his liver and all other internal organs are perfect and it's just a gigantic, disgusting bruise that needs time to reabsorb into the body.

I'd also like to take this time to express my thanks that this did not hit his head or the family jewels, ahem.

Let's hope the rest of the season goes better.

Well hello there.

Nice to meet you!

I'm Heather, and I'm starting out in this little corner of the internet to feed one of my favorite things to do: write.  I have been following many bloggers for a while now, admiring what they do and how much they touch people with words.  That's what I hope to do; Whether its funny, crazy, sad or an on-the-daily update, I would love to share a little slice of my life with others and try to sort out this crazy, awesome world we live in.

So join me, won't you?

I promise it will be fun!  More about me soon!
