What a Weekend...

So this past weekend Bubs and I went down to Luray, VA with his family. I'd never been before. I met a TON of people I had known once upon a time - my old karate instructor and friends of my dad, MARIE BROOKS(!), and a guy who was a friend of a friend of Tony's that we used to camp with. It was crazy. On Saturday, we kayaked down the river. My hands hurt so bad!!! We loved it so much that we're going back in August. It was the most refreshed that I've been in a while. While I enjoyed the day trips to the beach, they caused more stress than helped. When we go back, we're kayaking again, going to Skyline Drive, and checking out Luray Caverns. I'm so excited :o)

Life is Boring!

I feel like I do nothing but work and sleep. I've been crafting a lot, which my other blog covers extensively... Caitlin says I've become a craft blogger. I just don't have anything else to do. I've been meaning to ask you if you ever sent that package, cause I never got it. Man, I'm totally boring! You should post pictures of the Kitty! Ok, that was lame but it's all I've got. Love you darling!

Confused

Two parter.

Part One - Is there any way for this thing to tell me when there are posts? I forgot to check for a few days and there were a ton.

Part Two - I have a nice apartment. I'm getting out of my crappy job and into a good one. I'm almost finished applying to CND. I found out I get paid roughly double my salary for the summer. I have a brand new kitten. I have an AMAZING boyfriend, way better than my last one. So why do I feel so bad?
It started a few days ago, I started feeling really sad about Tony. Not like I wanted him back, no way in hell. Just like it was a part of my life that ended. Now I'm sad in general with this huge gaping hole and full of longing. I need something really badly but I don't know what it is. Like I'm almost suffocating. I have this uncontrollable, constant urge to run away. Like I need to go away, anywhere but here. But everywhere I go, that I can go with my time and monetary constraints, I feel the same. Any thoughts?

Ouchies

Casey here:
I was headed out the door for work and I stepped, bare footed, on an uphosltry tack. I hobbled to the bathroom and painfully pulled it out and dr'ed it up but ice cream was necessary. Boo ouchies.

Bah!

They changed the hours of operation at work.  It basically means I'll be at work for 13 hours straight on Saturday.  I'm not happy!  

Cable TV Fixer-Upper Shows

Remember how we were always talking about fixing each other up on one of those cable TV fixer-upper shows? I could really go for being on the receiving end of Extreme Makeover or What Not to Wear right about now. I'd love for someone to a) pay for a new wardrobe and b) put me in something that looks good on me for once. As I write, I'm sitting here in jeans (new ones actually), an old men's undershirt that I tye dyed almost a year ago, and flip flops that are two flips and one flop from having my feet hit the ground. Plus side - cute hair with red highlights and some pretty Coach glasses.

Father's Day!

Casey here:

Today Cash and I went to dad's for father's day dinner.  It was fun and on the way home we stopped at the Turner Falls lookout.  We snuck down around a path that had been blocked off.  We hiked a little bit and then headed home.  We got stuck in monster traffic on the way back to Norman.  Man it took forever to go 10 miles.  Aggghhhh.  We're home now and planning to do a ton of yard work tomorrow.  Talk a'cha later babe!

Mr. Toad

Casey here:

So last summer we discovered a toad on our front porch.  We lovingly gave him the name Mr. Toad.  He was there to greet us every time we walked outside.  Well this summer Mr. Toad is back!  Being a reptile lover I thought you'd appreciate this!

Here's Mr. Toad.

And this year he's got a friendie!!! We've lovingly named her Mrs. Toad!

This is Mrs. Toad!

Hello there!

Ok, so when we were in high school our circle of friends had notebooks. We used these notebooks to communicate instead of writing 7 of the same note to each of our friends. We had an order and each person took turns writing and reading the messages from all our friends. This is our updated version. Kim and I are best friends. We've been best friends since high school. College took us to different states that happened to be about 3000 miles apart. We've stayed in touch well, but never well enough. We love each other dearly and share everything. This will make it easier to keep in touch and share the amusing experiences of day to day life!
