9:00 am and i have already made breakfast.... (turkey bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs with spinach...{my brother and SIL makes eggs like this...i thought it was weird at first but tastes so good and put some veggies with breakfast...}, did two loads of laundry, cleaned my house from top to bottom, and caught up on my shows.


Yes that means I have been up for awhile. I laid in bed awake from 2am - 4am trying to go to sleep. Then finally got up and started my morning... Those close to me know..that is NOT THE NORMAL LIFE OF JENNI. But i did sleep all day yesterday so couldn't get much more sleep. Life of a night shift worker.



So the Bachelor... do ya'll watch this show. I love it. Reminds me of my college days in the pi phi house break room all watching it together... {If haven't seen this weeks episode prepare yourself you will find out the last 2 girls.}


I am VERY NERVOUS about the end. Who is he going to pick.
Emily?
Chantal?

I like both girls. BUT MY FAVORITE is Emily... Who wouldn't love her. Her story is so touching. I am going to go ahead a call it. If Emily is not the last girl standing then she WILL be the next Bachelorette! Although she might not want to leave her little girls again so soon. Two weeks and we will find out which girl he picks.

Now I am off to put air in my bike tires so i can go on a bike ride this morning too.. Who am I... not sure what has taken over my body... cleaning cooking and bike ride all in one day. I normal don't see the sight of day until 2 pm!

Have a wonderful day!

My List

So Hanna, one of my best friends most of my life, posted this linky thing about a bucket list. Those things we want to do before we die. Well i went to my journal... yes i kept a journal before the blog world started.... because i made a "To Do" list is what i called it at the time. I had added to it and funny that i have done a lot of things on my list just this past couple of years. I wrote this in 2008.

*Work out every day or at least 4 days a week


This is all i can think of right now...i know there is soo much more. But I have to be up early on normal people time... so better get to bed! 7:00 am is not for me! 3 posts in one day... wow!

Spring is on the way

Who else was soo happy that the Groundhog did not see his shadow. Every year i am like dang 6 more weeks of winter. I think this year we needed the break more than ever. These last two weeks have been wonderful. (Yes i know groundhogs day was like almost a month ago but i just started thing about wow we really did get an early spring)

Sunday (I know it is Wednesday but i just was in a crazy mood all week and ya'll did not want me to have any posts during that time or they would not have been happy...not like me i know but everyone gets in a funk every now and then) anyway on Sunday while The Man was playing golf (joy it is that time again) i took the dogs on a bike trail by our house. I did not try to take them while i was riding my bike...very much smarter than that..they would have me on the ground. But instead we went for a run/jog/ok i walked. I had the baby girl Lottie on a leash while Big Man Miller ran about. Yes i might be a bad mom but he listens and well Lottie does what she wants to and there are certain areas that are close to streets.

So we went for our little walk.... this is the first thing Miller ran to. WATER. Poor Lottie wanted to go soo bad so i had to let her off the leash to enjoy!
After awhile i tried to get them to come and they were not having it. They LOVED the water. They would run up to the trail, and of course there would be people walking, that they would run up to i am thinking, oh please don't jump on these nice people ya'll are all wet. But as soon as i would throw the stick again they were off after it. For awhile i had a few people watching my crazy dogs have a ball and they were putting on a show. After playing in the water the smelled of mud...so it was bath time in the back yard b/c i was not letting them in my house dirty. Well i basically got a bath too and a cold at that. It was like 70 degrees outside but still not time to play in the water.

Then when The Man got home we took the Jeep out for a ride with the top off... and I GOT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A STANDARD. I did pretty good if i say so myself. AS i was driving the Man said i am surprised you haven't killed it yet. UGH. Not 2 sec later dead. But oh well everyone has to learn sometime. He told me NOT to take it out for a drive yet without him. He thinks i did well but might need a few more practice sessions. So sad i did not get my picture driving the jeep. It was soo fun. But kind of stressful. Waiting for the day to come where i don't have to think about it entire time.

We just had a great dinner with friends tonight. Will have more about that on my next post!
