My kiddies

I guess I should post a couple pictures of my children for my readers...I mean, READER *waves to MilkMama*, to look at lol. Ashleigh is 12, going on 13 (October) and Travis is 11. The first one is of Ashleigh and my almost 4yr old nephew Austin. And then the next one is Travis, styling in his shades.

Monday Blues

I hate Mondays. I don't think I'm in the minority though. Today's Monday is extremely irritating, however. At work, we have the auditor coming to collect information to start the audit soon. And today is also the end of our fiscal year. Paperwork, reports, etc. has to be in order and perfect. My job doesn't consist of much...I have some spreadsheets that the auditor will want, but other than that, the audit doesn't really concern me. It does everyone else though and it makes the work environment pretty stressful.

Know how I'm handling my stress? Reading fanfics of course. I try not to sign onto the Bones site much during the workday because I can become pretty obsessed. But...at home, I'm Bones-crazy. I mean, I love other shows too, but Bones is THE ONE! I can't explain it, so don't ask me to.

Anyways---I'm counting down to the beach. Two days and some change til I leave. WOOHOO!

3 Days & Counting

In three, hopefully short, days I will be heading south to the coast of South Carolina, Myrtle Beach, to be exact. I love the beach. The sand, the water, the sunshine. What I am NOT looking forward to is the multitudes that will be joining me, as it is the 4th of July weekend. I did not pick this inopportune time to venture to the beach. It was my brother's doing. He chose this weekend to celebrate his anniversary to my SIL...and they invited us (me and the kiddos) to join them. Very nice I think...that they thought of us. I'm looking forward to being away from Lexington and work. Work mostly. Lexington I can stand.

Anyways---that's about all the updating I can stomach for the time-being. Nah, I just don't have anything else to say lol.

TGIF

Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TGIF, that's all I have to say about today! I thought, though, I'd find a 'getting to know you' survey, so I can post it here instead of writing some long, drawn out introduction. I hate talking about myself lol.

Bones + Fanfics = Sleepy Angie

*sigh*
I'm up...passed my bedtime...again. And I need the sleep...believe me. I'm very irritable when I don't get my *cough* beauty sleep. But...I'm pouring over the Bones forum on Fox. Reading the fanfics. Getting my daily...hourly...dose of Bones-ship. Looking at the cool pics of filming in London over on the Obsessed With Bones site. I need a pill...a sleeping pill. But, even then, I'd probably still be up.
*heavy sigh*
I'm in for the long haul...I guess I just better prepare myself for many a-sleepless nights. When I get 'obsessed' about something...I forgo any and all things, including sleep, to indulge my habit. And, not so sadly, Bones has become my crack.
