Has it been this long? WOW!

A lot has been going on in my life as of late. If you couldn't/didn't catch on earlier well then you must not have read between the lines.... hee hee ha ha.

What do you think has changed about me?

This will be one interesting post. Let me hear it people!

Hee Haw Monday

Saw ZZ-Top and Brooks & Dunn last night. Sunday concerts are killer. It was so very hard to get up this morning.

This is my best friend Rhea. We had 16 people in our group. The 18 year old ended up throwing up all night on one of the blankets.... poor thing. Rhea's husband fell asleep since he had too much fun in the parking lot. Crazy times.

Little disappointed in the concert. I go to soooooooooo many and this one was just so-so. They were having sound and stage problems. Ruins the moment at times.

My legs hurt from dancing so much. I need a nap. My ears are still ringing. So many cowboys in one place last night but I promised I didn't look honey... hee hee.

Say "Cheese"!

Hey Everyone....
Jahooni is BACK. BACK BACK BACK! I have missed everyone but needed a mental break.
After all the drama. Guess what?

My daughter broke her arm on Monday. Then we had a BIG earthquake on Tuesday! Then.... just kidding. ha ha ha ha

Everyone has been asking for pics of me without the braces. Here you go!

Have a good day everyone! Happy Friday.
Oh, my best friend bought me concert tickets to see Brooks & Dunn with ZZ Top on Sunday. 16 of us crazy people are going so I will dust off my cowgirl hat and practice my Boot Scoot & Boogy. Hee Haw.

Updates

I am over the "Poor Me Pitty Party Rountine"
I was in a funk. Give me a break. We all have those times don't we?? But I do thank everyone for their sincere well wishes and the ones that said, get over yourself and all that! ha ha
The cure: lots of sleep, wine and sex. Wait, I didn't get the full dose of all three so I don't think I am fully cured. ;)~

Having a HUGE party for my girlfriend Saturday for her 40th birthday. Getting a bit nervous with 75+ people that will be at my home. Spent days planting and weeding and grooming my back yard. Getting the dance floor/DJ area prepared with twinkle lights and hopefully a disco ball if I can find one in just 2 days. Food has been ordered. I think her brother ordered too much but since the invitations were left open for the time the party stops, maybe all the drunks will stay at my home, not drive and eat all the leftovers for breakfast. Hoping all the planning and preparations pays off. We shall see...

Good News: I get my braces off on July 22nd! Can't wait to kiss for the first time without them! Any volunteers? ;)~

My sister Um Naief sent me the best birthday gifts, have to shout out to her again that I love everything and the shoes... the shoes are fab. What is it with a great pair of shoes?

Reggie and Matt-Man were worried about me. Don't fret boys, I am not going anywhere. Just on the low for awhile there. I can't retire JAHOONI just yet!

Have a great day everyone. Happy HNT for those of you out there! (Don't ask. I will never do it)!!!

I am SORRY....

Hey peeps...
Out of the dead (i think) I know I know I know... what a horrible blogger friend! BUT if you only knew...

Dead.
I felt for awhile now. Can't explain it. Thought about saying goodbye to my blog and several other things on line. why? don't know really.
I feel bad when I can't get online like I want, I feel bad when I can't read and catch up about your lives, etc. Bad. I feel bad enough about my life in general so adding yours to it, well it sucks.

I have been in a MAJOR FUNK as of lates... not wanting to posts my sad sad "what about me" posts and not wanting to admit that sometimes I go through these times and not wanting to say that:
"Hey, my marriage is needing some TLC" and that
"I have not lost any weight since loosing 24.5 lbs, when my goal was 40!!"
"I failed my test that I studied so hard for..."

Eeeerk. Life.
I turn 35 this month. I feel old.
However, on my birthday I am having one of my best friends "40th Surprise Birthday" at my home. 75+ People. Lots of plans... stress.

I want it to be about her. Not me on that day.

I would love ideas about having a surprise party. It is being catered, band with DJ, and tons of family and friends but i am feeling stressed... as always.

I not only have this party to plan for but again I am studying for my test.

again i am sorry for not being "out there" but some things are better unsaid. ya know?

My TEST IS TOMORROW...

Send good vibes my way peoples!!! I have been studying like a mad dog and my test is tomorrow (oh crap, it is 12:05am), so TODAY in LA at 1PM!

I want this more than anything right now and I doubt myself every waking minute because I failed it 3 years ago...I would study and sleep, I would wake up from naps, would study and then sleep, and now I am WIDE AWAKE and CRAMMING! My test has been delayed over the past several months due to death, life, work, etc. BUT TOMORROW IS THE DAY! WHEW... i can barely say that without my stomach turning into knots. I know I know... it is just a test right? But I freeze up really bad when taking major exams!

This is why I have been absent. Stress. Worry. Life. Insurance. Test.

If I pass, I will be on line tomorrow having a celebratory drink on my behalf! If not I will be crying myself to sleep and taking the exam on Wednesday!

Until then,
Peace. Love. Happiness. And to all a good NIGHT! Oh and Happy Father's Day to those of you that have born children of the corn! Hee Hee

2 Weeks Silent....

I did it!!! Didn't think I could or would but I did... What was it that I did? Well I am SURE everyone noticed but I took a 2 week hiatus from my blog. Why? I don't know. It wasn't something I planned. The last post was not intentional (being blank) but when I posted it and then left it that way, I decided okay let's see how long I can keep my mouth shut. 2 weeks is a long time to stay silent.

I was feeling stressed out. Pressure from not being able to check every one's blogs everyday. Getting caught up at times with it that I actually would lie awake at night thinking of this person or that person's life, etc. while all along my own life needed some TLC. Does anyone ever feel this way? Or am I a NUT? Go ahead you can be honest. I can take it!

And also my test is Monday. I know I know... it got pushed back one week because my boss was in New York on vacation and I was swamped at work. Then last week I had a death in my husband's family. That was stressful and consuming and driving back and forth to Orange County. stressful. exhausting. EXPENSIVE! Gas here in Cali is $4.49 per gallon and we have a HUGE Diesel Truck that is over $5 per gallon. I think I need to start hooking just to pay for gas!!!! ;)~

Then I had to finish my year with my Brownie Troop.
Then today is my daughter's last day of 2nd grade! I can't believe it. I remember walking her to her first day of kindergarten like it was yesterday... boo hoo hoo.
Then my dog ate my mother's glasses and attacked her. Had to send him off to the rescue shelter.
Then I threw my neck out from studying and being stressed.

Anyways... have you missed me? ;)~
Okay let me go check out HNT!
