At A Standstill

My mind is moving at an excess rate; my body, on the other hand, is falling behind.
I have a lot I want to work on (Sketching, writing, scrapbooking, traveling, etc.) but I cannot motivate myself to work on any of it.

Also at a standstill, is our trip back to AZ. We are supposed to leave on Thursday, however, there is talk we will be leaving next week instead.

On another front: I have been bonding with my sister. It isn't as bad as it sounds. I am actually enjoying spending time with my sister, mostly. There are moments when the typical "Brittany" shines through the fun-loving sister.

I am really looking forward to getting back to AZ and seeing my other sisters and various friends!!!!

I still have cabin fever. Having both parents home is really rough. I love them to death, but dad is getting restless and it is becoming unbearable. I need a vacation.

I ask for prayers that things work out on many levels.
1) Dad's restlessness/employment
2) Our eventual trip to AZ
3) Mom's court case on the 19th which we have been waiting for
4) Anything else that is in need of prayer...

I would go on, but I think I am going to lay down for a bit.
Pot Roast for dinner! YUM

Bon Appetit!

Cabin Fever

I live in Las Vegas....and I have the worst case of cabin fever.
I miss my friends in AZ! Most importantly....I need a car. That would make my life so much easier.

Anyway...things are slow on this end. Not too much to report. John had his last day of school today....we are hoping to go back to AZ in a week. Mom has some doctor's appointments and then her court day on the 19th. I plan on spending as much time as I can with my long lost friends.
The woman mom stays with, works for this very wealthy man, and he is going out of town....so.....we are supposed to go stay at his Phoenix mansion while we are there too...that should be fun. See how the other half lives...lol

As for today....might curl up and watch some movies....or....write/sketch....I want to do something productive.
I should really go to the pool and do my exercises...but....It is cloudy out and the pool is super freezing....I need to just get over that though and just do it.

My cell phone is on the fritz and as much as I thought I could live without it...I am going crazy. I never really talk on it either, I just text....a lot...

Well...I think I have done enough complaining for now...
I think it is time to go find something productive to do....
wish me luck...

Bon Appetit

A lovely Tuesday Afternoon in the month of June

I now have a new goal in life: To be a talkshow host. A combination of Oprah and Ellen...kind of like Bonnie Hunt.
I still will strive to be an award winning actress; I now also want to be a talkshow host. I can see myself doing that, and I feel I would be perfect for it. It also looks like so much fun!

My first step: Apply to intern for the Ellen show next summer. I would have this summer, but I found out too late.

I think I can make this happen!

Anyway. Birthday was yesterday. Was very nice. Mom gave me a pedicure, had a special dinner, went for a nice walk and had coffee cake (YUM).

Getting ready to head back to Arizona. Mom's court case is set for the 19th, but she has to go early for her doctors appointments. She is planning on leaving a week from today. I can either go with her or wait for that weekend and have the girls (Lindsey and Kristen) come out for the weekend and then drive back with them. I have to make a decision.

Started scrapbooking my senior year of high school stuff. Ordered some pictures, still have a lot more to order. I am doing a little bit at a time because I do not have money, and I want to take my time and make it look nice.

Read The Bridges of Madison County. SO GOOD! It is one of my favorite books and is my favorite movie! If you have not seen/read it, you must.

Other than that, not too much going on. I think I want an ice-pop.
So I will go get one.
Have a fabulous evening.
Bon Appetit
