So... I'm Carrie

trip

Jason and i extended our stay in Florida - we are scheduled to leave next Saturday.  He needed to stay for support for his mom and his dad.  I needed to stay because i think it just might have broke my heart right in half to try and get on a plane yesterday.  Keep us in your prayers.

Florida

So I'm in Florida.  So good to be here.  i needed jason.

An observation if you will... On the flight over here, a very full one might I add... in the middle seat.  i noticed how highly irritable i am.  the guy next to me was hammered and ordered two more beers when the attendants came by.  the guy on the other side was harmless... just likes speed rock with out words... which is weird, but whatever.  (could hear it through his headphones.)  and the mother/daughter pair in front of me were fine... just wanted to lay down.  had to ask the mom to please put her seat up just a little bit.  oh, and they played uno...

but the guy behind me, now he bugged me.  he was a LOUD talker.  and thought everything he had to say was gospel.  and if he said one more time "I liked the movie but the book was soooo much better" i thought i was going to come over the seat.  this statement bugs the bejesus out of me... here's the thing... the author of that book wrote it as a book, not a screenplay.  some hollywood meat head that lacks any sort of creativity took this guys idea and then said, i want to make a movie out of this.  hmmm.  the other statement that gets under my skin is  "I saw (fill in title of most recent disney film - all apply) with my kids over the weekend.  you should go see it, it's a kids movie but there is a lot of stuff in there that kids don't get, lots of adult humor"  not a new concept from the folks over at disney... this keeps the adults bringing their kids to see these films... ingenious right? 

too bad the world can't be as smart as I am.

things

soo... things. 

things that bug me...

• the fact that i feel compelled to talk to this nosey neighbor lady of ours even though she bugs the bejesus out of me, and is just trying to probe.
• stepping in a wad of chewed gum - who does this?  haven't you ever experienced the suckiness of a wad of chewed gum on the bottom of your shoe?  where do you think that chewed gum came from... gee, probably somebody chewing it and then spitting it out.  stop the maddness.
• Tom Cruise on Oprah yesterday - what the heck was that?  that really creeped me out.
• that I work with 5 women and on most days i feel like we haven't matured past junior high.  truly ridiculous.
• when season finales end with those three dreaded words "to be continued" - just pisses me off... i watch your show religiously every week (thanks to tivo) there is no need to screw me over until september.  Medium anyone?

have a good day. ha.

lazy days ~ for some of us

 This is how scarlet spent the better part of her day.  I was in my "studio" if you will working on a scrap book project i have and she sat right there in that chair watching the day go by. 

cute dog.

Us

Jason... don't worry about me and scarlet... my mom is taking good care of us.  I will see you on Wednesday.  Give your momma a hug for me.  I love you.

What did you have for dinner?

Funny thing... I am reading this book right now... Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life and I read this little bit yesterday about Love.  It talks about how if you really love someone, you want to know what they had for lunch or dinner with out you... Never occurred to me until then.  but, now that i have read this, everytime Jason and i have talked he has asked me what i ate for lunch or dinner.  Funny. 

glasses and grades

I got my new glasses today.  i know... really exciting right.  well, i did.

I also logged on to the Houston Community College website to discover that I made a B in my Biology class.  that means I have fulfilled my final credit for my long overdue associates degree.  funny how life gets in the way isn't it.  but i am done... for now.  now the task of trying to figure out what i want to be when i grow up...  hmmm.

Also... one more thing.  I just realized my overuse of the word so.  What's up with that?

Weezer

so weezer's new cd has been out for about a week... i acquired it over the weekend and it is rockin'.  not their typical, but good none the less.  the new dave matthews cd on the other hand... BLECH.  seriously... i love this man... love love love him.  but this new cd is ridiculous.  i understand we all have opinions and views... but please, please don't take my twenty bucks and cram your politically charged views down my throat.  vomit.

not to mention that even aside from the political-ness the music is crap too.  why did they decide they needed so much keyboard?? 

anyway, that's my 2 cents.

funny, little things

so, it's really funny how you realize just how much you miss some one and all the itty bity things they do for you when they are away.  Like i said before, Jason is out of town and I will not see him until a week from tomorrow. 

Jason takes really great care of me.  He gets up every morning and walks the dog at 5:50 a.m. Which... of course since he is gone, your's truly is having to do this lovely task.  I get off early, so that means i am in charge of dinner most nights... well... i kind of totally forgot to eat dinner tonight.  seriously, just totally missed it and then it was nine thirty and i can't eat that late at night... says Oprah.

then there is the mundane task of throwing the ball to this cute little creature.  i guess since J and i split ball throwing time, it never really occured to me how much time we throw the thing across the room.

this dog loves her some ball. seriously.

then there is this little evening ritual that jason and i have... i go upstairs, and he... takes the dog out one last time, makes sure to grab both cell phones, makes sure every light switch, fan, lamp, small appliance, stove burner, television, radio... all get turned off and last but by far the most important *wink *wink ~ makes sure that both of us have a drink for the evening...  i forgot both the phone and my water last night before bed, the stove was never turned on for the evening, which is a really good thing... scarlet did get in a quick walk outside, i did forget to turn off one lamp though.

so... jason, know that i am thinking about you.  i know your mom is appreciating you being there and this week will be over before we know it.  Me and scarlet are fine... I remembered the water tonight :)

hi jason...
