Pictures of you

So today Josh and I are sitting outside in front of one of the business buildings...
He starts singing this song "Pictures of you"... although he hates that song but Julia listens to it sometimes so that's how he knows it.
I'm guessing he started singing it because I was taking pictures of us.
Anyway... he wasn't just singing it like any normal person would, he was singing it in a little squealy annoying voice. lol
Little did he know, there was a person sitting behind him. I don't know if it was the whole time, but it was sooooo hilarious. And by the time I decided I would record him singing, he had just realized that the person was there so he stopped.

Before I go...

to work I guess I'll post.
This weekend is tax-free weekend so it is going to be soooo busy! Especially because everyone is doing back to school shopping. Here they go back in August because they get out in May. So anyway... today we had some running around to do. Had to go to Ross to get Josh's check and then to Wells Fargo, Big Lots, and Subway. That was on that side of town. Then from there it was to the mall to get a couple games because we just got a DS. So Josh got Final Fantasy 3 and I got Yoshi's Island. Don't know that I will play it much but if not I can just return it :)
So from the mall it was home to relax until we have to leave for work around 4. We were going to go in early but really don't feel like it. Yes more money, but didn't get much sleep last night as it was super stormy outside and it usually keeps me up all night and I'm tossing and turning. So we will def. go in early tomorrow and Sunday too :)
Well I guess that's it for now.
Gonna go finish getting ready for work. yyaaaaaay. not.

Today is laundry day. It was starting to overflow a little too much so I decided it was about time.
The bugs here seem to like me a lot. Or the spiders. I'm not sure what. But I think I have like 10 bites. It is not fun at all. There's one on the back of my right arm and it is huge!!! And if they are mosquito bites... I'm allergic to them, so it gets really bad. Looks like I have huge welts everywhere. And now the 3 or however many I have on my left arm are starting to itch! Althought it is really hot and humid here, I wore a hoodie to walmart the other night cuz I don't want anymore of these stupid things eating me. lol
Well I'm going to find something to take up time til Josh gets off work.
Bye :)

Ok so Friday we had an early start on our day. Josh got home at 4 in the am and I went to sleep at 5 or so and he woke me up at 8... he didn't go to sleep at all. So we got ready went to Walmart and then to Ross because his direct deposit still hasn't gone through (or the manager he gave it to never put it through) Then we went and ate at Cyndi's, where we got our food fast just like before. I had just a side of hashbrowns and a side of bacon, didn't really eat too much cuz the bacon was actually too salty for me, surprise lol. As much as I love salt... and the hasbrowns- I only ate the top cuz they were crispy and the rest of them were too soft. But oh well. Josh had chicken fried steak with some hashbrowns and eggs. Then back to Ross for some shopping. We both got some work clothes, and Josh got some cologne that I'm not a big fan of. Eternity for men (Calvin Klein). I want him to get the GUESS but we haven't gotten any in so we'll have to wait. So from Ross it was off to the Galleria. I just wanted to look at Aeropostale but they didn't have anything that caught my eye, I guess that's a good thing cuz I didn't spend any money lol. Then we went across the street to eat at Paradise (bakery & cafe) for the first time. Well actually I didn't eat, cuz a sandwich didn't sound appetizing at the time. But it is a nice place. Josh had a salad and sandwich... cost like 15 bucks with a drink but he got a lot of food for the price. After that, we went to the mall down the street. I went to Sonic to get a mango limeade and then to Wetzel's Pretzel for a pepperoni pretzel. Then to see Funny People. By the time we got home it was almost 7 so we went to sleep, woke up at 10. Left for walmart sometime after 11 and got home at 1. I fell asleep, Josh didn't until 10 am then I woke him up at 1:30 because we had to start getting ready for work. We both closed last night... got home around sometime after 10 went to sleep after 1... well at least I did. Woke up at 8 this morning because I worked open to close (11-8:30) and Josh 11-6. So he hasn't had much sleep at all. He's off tomorrow and I get to sleep in because I don't work til 5. yay. And now I'm going to stop because I typed a whole boring story.

I hate these stupid overnights!!! lol
Josh was asked to work 3 of them this week... and yes of course it's more hours= more money but I CAN'T SLEEP!
The first night I fell asleep 2 hours before he got home... and he got home at 6
and this morning he got home at 7... i was only asleep for an hour before that...
but this is the last one and idk when he will be home. It depends on what time the guys that are doing the remodeling or whatever it is that they are doing get done.
I'm going to try and go to sleep here soon but who knows if that will happen.
We're both off tomorrow :)
Payday yay! lol
I told him that he can plan the day out since I'm always the one that does it. So we'll see what he plans... hopefully to go get some good grub lol

So today was my Grandmas memorial service and how badly I wish I could have been there. But money doesn't just fall out of the sky. They recorded it for me so hopefully it doesn't take to long for me to get it.
I was wanting to write something and they were going to read it for me but I just couldn't put into words everything I wanted to say. I guess it's partly because I'm still dealing with the fact that she's gone. It's just hard to believe that I now have no Grandma alive. :(
But like I said, I'm glad she's not suffering anymore.

Anyway...
From what I heard there were a lot of the family that got up and said something. My Dad sang "This world is not my home." I had a gut feeling he would end up singing. :)What he does best. Guess that's where I got it from. haha
i'm not the best... there are A LOT of people in this world that sing a million times better than me. But I do love it :D
My mom read what she wrote this morning, I know she didn't get up and say anything, I'm sure someone else read it for her, but she's like me when it comes to getting up in front of people.
Although I'm a lot less shy than I was before, I tell the people I work with I use to be shy and I wouldn't talk to anyone, and they find that impossible. lol.
well I am starting to blab about absolutely nothing but just for the sake of an update.
