Feeling A Bit Stalked...Should I Be?

Okay ladies, I've got a question....I've been getting really creeped out by a certian somebody that visits my page...I found this no name on my sitemeter sometime ago and have since found out that he/she stays on my blog constantly! I went into some of your sitemeters to do an investigation and have realized that Rogers.com is on your's as well, but that it doesn't display how long he/she is staying...On mine they on there day after day, for hours upon hours!!! Its starting to creep me out but I wanted to see what ya'll thought...Is this Rogers.com a partner with sitemeter and they infact do the monitering? It links back to a cable/internet company in Ontario, Canada.....Hmmmm...Should I be worried or what?

I'm Back!!! A Wonderfully Spent Weekend...

So R got Guitar Hero Metallica for his birthday, instead of the truck floor mats, and I presented it to him in this charming camo birthday/easter basket:p I didn't want to fill it with candy as thats his biggest weakness so I put his favorite drink, Dr. Pepper, jerky and a few Biscoti Turtle Truffle bars in it accompanied with four plastic eggs filled with sweet notes and a card...I was proud of it:p
The hubs after cracking his fingers, waiting for Guitar Hero Metallica to load:p

Seeing as I had to work Saturday we managed to get a late birthday dinner in and here it is; his favorite, Outback Steak House with wine...We ended up pooring the wine out and going to a red wine called Sangria (so good its dangerous) He called in the order just past 8:00 and I picked it up on my way home along with his large birthday cookie I orderd on my lunch break...He thought that was just great and polished the rest off before leaving today:p

My hubby in his suit! We did it up right last night:)

And finally, today on our walk/hike at a local park...It was the perfect end to a wonderful weekend; note our incredibably toothy smiles, ha ha! I think this might be a good place to start running outside too!

So yeah, this is where I have disapeared to for the past two days! Enjoying my hunny while he was in town and celebrating his birthday TOGETHER; something we had yet to be able to do! Today was so gorgeous and the perfect day to get out...Everyone was enjoying their Easter and I loved seeing it. I hope all of you had wonderful times with your families, hunting for eggs, eating good food and sneeking candy on the side:p One of my favorite movies is on (The Sound of Music) so excuse me while I end here and watch as I get that silly, happy feeling at seeing films that nobody makes anymore...I know I'm not the only one but I absolutely love classic films!!! P.S I ran another 1.25 miles today! Slowly but surely...

Me IN My New Frames, As Promised:)

Well, as promised, this is me in my new specks! Wow, what a difference ladies; I can see so clearly now:) I'll be looking at anything/everything and pull my glasses down to see the difference without them and woaha, it is ten times more burry...No wonder I was feeling like my head was being messed with all the time! I seriousy don't think the eye doctor new what she was talking about when she said I didn't need them all the time. Unless dealing with blurry vision everyday is considered alright just as long as you can see it fairly well...hmmm...

Update On My Running And A Confession...

So now that I've been running steady for two weeks I do have a question, so I'll just dive right in here. About four days after I started running I started noticing that I've been getting this weezing sensation during the day or at night but its not consistent, just comes and goes...This bothers me just a bit because I used to have a death threatening case of asthma when I was younger, from ages 3-6. I was always in the hospital for it and would have to stay for months at a time...But thats another story...I was just wondering if its possible to get asthma back after all this time? I mean I grew out of it when I was ten and haven't had a problem since. My mother in-law has told me that you can get it back while my husband tells me that there is also a thing known as runners asthma? What are your thoughts?

I'm really excited because this is the LONGEST I've ever went, continuing to run and not giving up. Some progress I've noticed is that my quads are looking stronger and that I'm not out of breath by the end, although I am breathing pretty hard:p I felt like it was getting harder and harder with each run, that first week, but now its starting to level out. Today is my rest day seeing as I ran yesterday, but starting tomorrow I'm going to start pushing myself a little more.

I do have a confession to make, however. This whole time I have been running on a tredmill...I have looked into running forums and alot of the hard core runners do not consider this running:( My reasons, right now, for using the tredmill is that I know how much distance I'm running and that is whats keeping me motivated. I don't have one of those nice little Garmin watches yet so that I can keep track of my milage. In addition, I haven't found any nice places to run either. We live in a really busy area of Columbus,GA and I just do not feel comfortable running in all that traffic, at this point. I was hit twice by two different cars in Alaska so I'm alittle road shy now:p I do realize that running on pavement is completely different then a tredmill, I have done it:p To make up for some of my guilt I've been setting my incline to 20 percent so that its like I am running up hills and such that you meet outside:p Any thoughts?

I have a butt load of stuff to do today, it being my day off and all:p Finish up birthday shopping for the hubs, clean the house from top to bottom, get my hair cut, dispose of our cat, jk:p and I've even been contimplating starting the tanning bed seeing as we have them in our apartment complex. I just have such a hard time getting color and so I get depressed and usually end up giving up. I have alot of Irish running through my veins so that means I acquire freakles on a daily basis and burn easily:p Argh...Caio!

Love That Guy!!! A.K.A My Brother:)

So this is my brother and my sister who was pregnant at the time. Incase your wondering, they're bumpin baby bellies:p This was my sisters baby shower and yes those are the balloons we used for decoration under their shirts...I love my life!
Okay, so I didn't have just a solo pic of my younger brother but this is him! He has such a great sense of humor and is just so cool all the time! You honestly could hate him because he's so cool and makes it look so easy:p As a sister I love the bantering back and forth that we often do:p Yesterday I texted him about my glasses and told him I now have designer coach frames. He replies back with "how much did that set R back, HA HA?" I told him the amount, 334.00 and he writes back, "thats my little gold digger!" By the way, he's single for all you non married, non engagged ladies out there:p (wiggles eyebrows) He'd kill me if he knew I was (figuritively speaking) auctioning him off on blogger.com, BWAH HA HA! The other day I hijacked his myspace account and replaced his serene mountain scene with that of two puppy hound dogs and changed his favorite rocker song out to, "You Ain't Nothin But a Hound Dog" by the famous Elvis Presley:p He texted me the next day and says "Becca you little shit! LMAO! I'll get you for this!" Ahhhh sibling rivalry....He has this really slow southern way about himself...He talks like he's in no hurry and hardly nothing life throws at him can rattle the guy. He makes light over serious things that happens on the job (like almost digging too far down into the ground and hitting an electrical wire strong enough to send him to the next life...Yeah I wanted to shake him for just laughing about it. He gets pulled over for speeding alot and when the cop asks him why he's in such a hurry he gives them that slow country smile and says "awwwwwwe officer, you know....Just tryin to get home to momma." LMAO...He's a bit of a devil too though. B works with heavy equipment and LOVES anything to do with Cat, John Deere ect...Well there is this field of nothing but dirt and big pieces of machinery right near where he lives, so what does B do? He grabs a buddy and heads on over there at like 12:00 in the morning to play....(shakes head) The land and the (toys) are not his, keep in mind...He says that in this line of work contractors always leave keys in their equpiment, so he just jumps in the biggest one he can find and turns on those lights that is bright enough to light up a football field! Why to go if your trying to be inconspicuous! Well to make a long story short, they get caught by the owner... The man pulls a shot gun on them and has it dug right into my brothers stomach and says "what the hell do you boys think your doin out here!" B replies in his slow country way "awwwwwwwe sir, just movin alittle dirt" AHHHHHH HA HA HA HA! His response was too funny to even think about scolding him at the time! Gosh I love that guy:p Well not really sure why I decided to blog JUST about my brother when I have so many other siblings. All I can figure is I just really miss that guy right now!!! Wish you all had the opportunity to meet him, cause you'd end up loving him just as much as I do!

P.s. I just texted the bro and told him I was auctioning him off on blogger. He replies with " So, I'll expect my cut in the mail on friday" lol, aweful sure of himself that he'll even be bid on:p

My Fabulous New Frames!!!

So these are my new designer frames from Coach! I love the brown and light blue design on the inside:) kinda adds a girly touch I think.

So after my exam today I was told that I definitely needed glasses but they didn't recommend contacts at this point because I only need them while driving at night and when I feel like my eyes are getting tired, yadda yadda...I was actually suprised that my eyes weren't worse off then they say they are. So we'll try glasses seeing as their easier to put on and take off at this point:p I didn't think that I was going to look good in glasses at all, but I suprised myself! I really do look smarter and feel a tad bit sexier, ha ha! Gosh, they sure are expensive little pieces of plastic though or maybe it just feels like they are becuase I do not know good prices for such things, yet:p With lenses and frames, an extra exam for the testing of potential blindness, glare coating for the lenses AND a nifty little bottle of solution to clean my glare coated fabulous coach frames/lenses the total was 334.00...That feels like a lot to me but not sure if it is? Anyhow, I feel better that I went and now know that I don't have anything wrong with me, just a touch of old age and not so good (eye) genes:p I will be sure to take a picture and post it once I get them in! Thank you all so much for your input and advise!! It was a definite help and I now don't feel so scared about getting contacts once it comes to needing something more often in my day:p

Some Randomness And QUESTIONS!

Well crumb....Just got home from work and I'm starving so I decide to cook this wonderful gourmet meal of mac'n'cheese... I certainly must be tired because what do I do? I go to pour the noddles and then realize that I dumped all my cheesy powder in instead, turning the water a nice murky orange....Ugggg...Guess I'll have to settle for plain ol'noodles and butter....again...Oh yes, this has happened before...
Gosh, I think two days is a record for me not posting, so far and I've missed everyone! I'm definitely going to be catching up on y'all this week so be looking for my comments! I had a great weekend with my hubby although I had to work yet again...Sighs...and didn't get that much time with him...But at least I got some so I'm certainly not going to complain! Somewhat out of fear that I'd be B!&@# slapped by all you girls who's men are deployed and would kill for even an hour...My momma didn't raise no fool:p I had a split shift on Saturday so I went in at 9:00 am then left at 2:00 pm. only to return at 9:00 pm later in the even to work until closer to 1:00 am. We had a game day sale to prep for and we needed time that customers weren't in the store to do it...We normally don't work that late, thank God, However because of that shift Robert and I got to go see the new fast and furious movie together!!! Ohhhhh it felt so wonderful getting to just sit there with him and unwind! Ever notice that you can be completely happy doing whatever just as long as your together:) Anyhow, the show was great y'all. If your a fan of those movies you definitely NEED to watch this new one!!! I loved it because there was so much intrigue this time around. Granted there was intrigue in the others too, but this ones just different...Plus all the old actors are back! So just watch it:p
So a quick question for y'all would be, what should I decide on my eye doctors appointment tomorrow? I can't decide whether to get contacts or glasses and here is why. Glasses are too easy for me to lay down and loose while contacts, I'm scared, might irritate my eyes...I don't want to waste the money on contacts if I'm just going to hate how they feel and not use them anyhow, while I certainly don't want to loose my glasses ultimately wasting that money anyway......deep breath....Any thoughts? Contacts or glasses and why?
So ANOOOOOTHER question I have...There are four important birthdays coming up all in the space of three weeks from now, but the one I'm really having a hard time with is my hubby's birthday! It is this Friday... We've talked about what to get him and he just says that guys arn't that into romantic gifts and would rather practical gifts...Do you agree with this? his suggestions are either new floor mats for his truck or Guitar Hero Metallica...I really want to do something memorable for him because we've never been able to be together on his birthday, up until this year. He'll be driving in on Friday night so I think this calls for something special, don't you? Then comes the question of what I should do for him and when...Friday night won't work because he never arrives before midnight and I work this Saturday from 2:00 until close and then he leaves out again on Sunday around 2:00 pm. I thought maybe a nice picnic or something? Or is that cheesy...Any suggestions would be great! I'm so open for input at this time it'd be hilarious what I'd do for it:p Thanks y'all, in advance, for your wonderful ideas and comments!

So Proud Of My Hubby!

R got his hat today! This is a really big deal and I am soooo proud of him! Everyone is telling him he looks like the poster boy for a drill Sgt's:p I'd say I agree with that! He passed his last PT test today and just finished his last written exam right before he called me, so everything from here is down hill! Now just waiting on when I get to drive up there to see him graduate and then bring him home!

SO EXCITED!!!!

I'M SO EXCITED! I get to run tomorrow!!!! My muscles have healed enough to where I should be good for another mile run or so...I'm taking Samantha's advise over at A day in the life of an Army wife's blog and drinking plenty of water tonight...Would make sense that well lubricated muscle's tend to work better:p I'm anxious to see if the mile feels easier and if it does, I'm going to do a victory dance and then run another half a mile:p Seriously though, any advise from you more advanced runners would be so appreciated as I'm completely serious about making this a passion...I am already falling in love with my progress and the idea of running races!

So some of you might remember the post I wrote about on my eyes and going to the doctor...Well yeah, I kinda sorta backed out of that appointment last Friday and never went...I have this large tendency of making at least three appointments and backing out before I'll actually go. This morning I made appointment number two:p I spent a lot of time in the hospital during the ages three and six, so much that I just hate spending even more time in them...At least that's what I tell myself and everyone who asks:p So, today I think it finally hit me how important going is... I've had major eye strain all day with dizziness that's making me nauseous; Every time I look at something new its ALWAYS blurry until my eyes have the chance to focus on the subject...So this might be my first time ever of not canceling three times before I go!!!

It is 11:30 p.m. and the mint chocolate chip ice cream sitting in my freezer is calling to me! Is it true what they say about not eating after 9:00? I've aways wondered because I do this a lot seeing as I work nights and am starving when I get home, however it doesn't seem to bother my weight much...Could be my metabolism at this point, so maybe the chocolaty mint chips need to wait for the morning as you know what thy say, indulging when your young bites you when your old! I certainly don't want, ekk ekk ekk (insert stabbing knife here) to happen to me:p So before I decide this particular pain is worth the pleasure, Goodnight to you ladies and I will see your beautiful faces in the morning!!!

His Voice...

BAM, CLASH, BOOOOM! Goes the thunder....

Its nights like these that I really wish my hubby was here...You know, those dark, rainy, scary bright lighting and loud thunder nights? Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets this way during severe storms? I mean I'm sitting here in my living room, in a chair, that points right at our french doors and into those rumbling, grumbling thunder heads; The rain is so loud that I can barley think and the minute those huge lighting bolts hit, you could convince me its day! In addition, the wind it pushing the rain at such a speed that you'd swear lug nuts where raining down on us! And when the massive bright strikes hit it means I need to brace myself because soon comes the jaw rattling KA-LACK!
My husband knows how I get during bad storms, but he uses that voice of his, which is so utterly steady and soothing, to talk me into a state of calm; I actually end up falling a sleep! Oh girl, and when he sings...Well lets just say I have this love struck look plastered on my face that says "please don't stop" lol...Out of it all though the high winds is really what scares me the most...Sometime ago, while snuggled in his arms, a bad storm broke out early in the wee morning. The wind was stronger then I had ever experienced. Well no, I take that back, there was this wind storm while I was in Alaska which had 100 mph gusts ALL DAY LONG! But getting back where I left off...It started to get really bad out to where I couldn't decide if it was just wind or a tornado, yes that bad ladies...R knew I was scared because I started breathing hard and holding onto him even tighter then before, so he just started stroking my hair and talking to me about how the wind sounds like the ocean breaking and receding...It really does too! So he painted this picture for me (with his amazing voice:p) of us on a beach with our eyes shut, just holding one another listening to the waves crash and dance....sighs...I use those images every time now when the wind tries and get the better of me....I don't even think he knows how much I appreciated him doing that and how tightly I still hold onto his painting during storms...Hmmmm...Might have to share that with him this weekend:p So off to bed I go! Can't wait to dream about that tropical beach and my hunny holding me close...
