school days
Today I started back my first day of classes. I took some online courses this summer, and one 4 day course but this will be my first semester back with a full blown-have to show up every day- kind of schedule. I bought my school supplies yesterday, got everything organized & entered into my planner. I have to say, there's something great to be said about being a student in that you get a sort of new year more often than just January 1st. I've set new resolutions to be more organized & have a fresh start ahead of me. It's a refreshing feeling. Here's to hoping I can keep it up!

The good ole days?
So last night, there I was, minding my own business, avoiding doing my homework by going through old files on my computer and organizing them. Its a form of procrastination I've perfected where you replace doing something you are supposed to be doing with something else productive so you don't feel so bad. It's really a horrible idea, because if you're going to be working, you might as well get your stuff done and go play, because this way you just end up cleaning out your computer AND doing homework, instead of getting your homework done and then partying it up. Or sleeping.
Anyways, I'm digressing. I found a document on my computer labeled xanga drafts. Jackpot! I found quite a few conversations from long ago that I had totally forgotten about. Things like this always inspire me to write more, because I totally had forgotten about all of these but when I found them they made me laugh out loud. So I'm going to try and write more, blah blah blah. But for today I'm going to share what I found from those long ago single days. And by single I mean, yeah, I didn't have a boyfriend then, but more importantly, I didn't have a 6 month old. Because 6 month olds? They kinda put a stop to your party days. Sigh. Its a good thing they are so damn cute. :)
Conversation #1
Me: Hey, remember that time I was all, okay, I'll come hang out for like an hour, but I'm going to bed early tonight...and then we decided to drive to the Casino and I learned how to play blackjack and THEN we ended up coming back to town and I made oven roasted potatoes in high heels and I tried on every costume in my closet and we watched Footloose until 6 in the morning?
Him: Yeah...last night was good times. You forgot to mention the feather boa.
Conversation #2
Me: So I think I've decided I definitely need to stop smoking.
Amanda: You can do it! Rah Rah Rah!
Me: Thanks.
Amanda: Am I not a good enough cheerleader for you? I'll tell you what. For you, I'd pull out my inspirational speech I wrote in the 3rd grade for D.A.R.E.
Me: If anything could help, I'm sure it would be that. 3rd grade Amanda inspiring me not to abuse drugs.
Amanda: I'll see if I can dig it up
Me: You're a true friend.
Conversation #3
Me: Okay, St Paddy's is coming up on Tuesday, and I have Wednesday off...we need to plan on doing something.
Him: Yeah, I'll save up we'll figure up something good.
Me: Like a party or something?
Him: Oh, no we can't stay in town
Him #2: If we're going out of town, I'm saying DC, for sure.
Me: Like, as in, Washington? Um, did I mention I only have like a day and a half off?
Them: Perfect! PLENTY of time for a road trip!
Me: …..
Conversation #4
Brandi: HIIIIII I MIIIISSSSS YOUUUUU!
Me: Hey girl, I miss you too. What is that noise in the background?
Brandi: Patrick is getting down with his ghetto rap
Me: Awesome.
Brandi: So its time to start wedding dress shopping. We're doing it on a Sunday, because you HAVE TO BE THERE!!!!!!
Me: Absolutely, name the date and I'm there.
Brandi: YAYYYY! Alright, we'll make more plans when I'm not as ableevreated.
Me: Yeah, good plan. Being “ableevriated” is totally a bitch.
Brandi: I LOOOOOOVE YOU!!!!
Me: I love you too, sweets.
Conversation #5
Me: My body hurts.
Tyler: Mindy...I'm telling you right now, you CANNOT keep up with them.
Him: Yeah, hahah you totally don't have a chance, but its a whole lot of fun to try!
Me: Fun? Yeah if I survive.
Him: Its, cool, don't worry girl I won't let anything happen to you. I'm CPR and First Aid Certified.
Me: Thanks, I feel so much better now.
Conversation #6
Him: That is the driest sandwich I've ever had...why the hell would you choose to eat a peanut butter sandwich the night after drinking?
Me: Maybe because I'm not dehydrated. I drank my water. Chili Cheese Frito?
Him: Yes, please.
Conversation #7
Me: So we had a shotgunning contest last night too.
Him: Oh yeah, who won?
Me: You did. But its not my fault. I haven't done that in like 5 years.
Him: You act like I shotgun one every night before bed...its not exactly something you just forget how to do...
Conversation #8
Him: Hey, we're going to Braums, want me to pick you up some fries and bring them to you at work?
Me: Yes, please! And a chocolate shake.
Him: God, for a girl who does not put out you're kindof a pain in my ass...

Hi Internet! Guess what? June is nearly halfway over, which means summer is here! This makes me happy. I've been working on filling my days/weekends/evenings with lots of festivities. Cash and I have been going for walks at least a few nights a week. We went on a trip to Florida, and spent a ranching day with Candala and Bodie. We spent an evening out with Miss Brit eating corn dogs and watching old cars drive up and down Grand Avenue. There was another evening we went out to his Aunt Sheri's at the river and spent some time with the fam, including his older brother and sister. We got out the blow up ducky mini pool and let him splash around on the front porch. We've taken trips to Tulsa to see mama's new honey (we're kindof crazy about him). We've visited at the grandparents' houses, driven around the lake, gotten snocones, and gone to picnics and cookouts. I'd say the summer is off to a good start. :)

I heart sunny days
This is my new favorite picture of Cash. He looks like such a big boy!!! We had our first outing in the stroller today. I just have to say I am more than excited about the warm weather to come. -
A Springtime Sunday
Britney & her husband Jason stayed the night with me Saturday night. Brit & I chatted & played with Cash while Jason watched Gilmore Girls. He would pause & rewind the funny lines when we missed a good one. I think that's a good quality to have in a spouse. Brit is a lucky gal :)
Then I got to go see my friend Joanna's new baby (so tiny & cute!), went to lunch with Stefannie before she left for her 3 week trip to California (El Patio, on the patio sitting in the sun with a cold Tecate & the babe snoozing at my feet), and stopped by a one year old's birthday party.
Then I dropped off Cash for some time with the grandparents & Brittany (the other one) & I went bowling with some super fun guys. We made up nicknames & decided to start our own bowling league (only 3 of us broke 100 in 2 games & by us I mean none of them were me). Nibbled on chicken fingers & fries. Danced around to Michael Jackson in our bowling shoes.
Today was a fun day.
