Hi, my name is Brandi, and i'm a SIMSaholic. yes, i am addicted, and i mean addicted, to sims 3. and this is why i have not posted a blog in what two weeks? every time i have a quiet moment, usually while andrew is eating in his chair and sleeping in the other room or in this instance chasing the dog around the house, i sit down to update my blog and sims 3 just sounds so much funner. i know, it's sooo lame, but i love it. i love building and it is actually fun to play. i have more active households than i'd like to admit. but anyway, this is why i have not updated.
things have been going really well lately. unless you count an incident yesterday that is still upsetting me /: more on that later. nick had a four day weekend this last week and today was the first day he's gone back to work. i actually enjoyed it more than i thought i would.
friday: i had therapy and did a bunch of running around and saiya babysat andrew for me. then we stayed for dinner at my aunt's and had homemade belguim waffles (:
saturday: stayed home and vegged out. played outside with andrew and i got some house cleaning done.
sunday: andrew and i went to my mom's (nick stayed home to play xbox all day because he was "on vacation) and helped pack. my sister, who is going to the salon professionals academy in tacoma, gave me a haircut. i absolutely love it.
monday: got up early to have the oil changed on the car, did some shopping for conditioner, diapers and what not. then we went home and andrew and i took a nap and then had a late lunch/early dinner.
tuesday: i did laundry and then on the way home GOT A SPEEDING TICKET -
this is the fourth time i have ever been pulled over. the first three were for not having a driver's side mirror since my brother knocked it off on thanksgiving and i socked him in the face for it. none of those resulted in a ticket. but this one did. i SINCERELY thought the speed limit was 45 and i was going down a hill. i was shocked when i got pulled over since i didn't even see the motorcycle until he was behind me. and the guy said it was a 35 and i had been going 47. i have maintained a strict no crying policy when getting pulled over. but apparently i should have done that instead of telling the truth and being polite /: asshole. $154 dollars. i can get it differed so it won't go on my record because nick was worried about the insurance going up. but now i have to pay $200 to get it to go away and i have to go to court in the dreaded port orchard. UGGGHH. there goes my last-season satin gray cheetah print coach purse ):
- but then after that the day was fine. nick was surprisingly not mad and just kept calling me "speeder" /: like he doesn't speed. pssh. but anyway, then we went shopping on base and the reality kept setting in that the count down is on on my health insurance and military benefits. but after that i andrew and i went with star to take the kids to flag football and cheerleading practice while nick and troy stayed home to barbeque the steaks i marinated. it was a good night. we got home about 9:30 and went straight to bed.
then this morning i went to watch the netflix dvd that had been sitting on the kitchen counter for 2 days and it was supposed to be dexter season five: disc one that i have been oh-so-anxious for since season four ended on a cliff hanger, it was a ted bundy drama instead. apparently there is a long wait on this season of dexter. figures /: season five just went on sale yesterday, but i refuse to buy it. i'm holding out until the show is cancelled and they make a dvd pack of all the seasons. like sex and the city (:
so today consists of folding and putting away laundry. then lunch, then after tom drops saiya an dtroy over here i have to take troy to football practice, then go to therapy. then come home and pick up nick, and then make dinner. it'll be a good day. andrew's been in a good mood since he woke up . i'm also going to make some applesauce and try my hardest not to take any caffeine pills.
