Yay! Another wonderful year in third grade has came and gone. I'm gonna miss my kiddos! BUT...Mrs. Osmer is ready for two months of peaceful bliss! What I can't wait to do is catch up on some ZZZZZZZZZZZ!! Wahoo for sleeping in late, going to the gym early, tanning, and traveling! Oh did I mention sleeping in late! ;)
I absolutely cannot wait for this weekend to get started!This weekend kicks off my jam packed Summer! Really, I think I only have two weekends of down time. I am not complaining though. One big reason is because I am gonna get to spend a whole bunch of time with my hunnie!!! WHOOP WHOOP! Second, I am gonna get to spend time with some friends that I hardly ever get to see. Third, I am starting grad school. Finally, I DON'T have to work!! :) However, I think I completely deserve this break because I have worked harder than some people in the past nine months than most people do in 12 months. I know what your thinking, but you can just lock it up! LOCK IT UP! Believe it or not I don't just stick macaroni on poster boards. My job is just as stressful, tiresome, and hectic as yours. :P
This weekend, we are going to Guntersville and its gonna be awesome! I'll I wanna do is have some fun!! I am going to really try to ski this time. Well, in between all the other festivities like eating, laying out, and catching fish. Maybe this year I'll catch a bass or something. I really really really hope it doesn't rain. That would suck, but if it does I think I'll just go downtown G'Ville for some shopping!
I know it's early, but still no Gaga tickets (Vegas show is sold out) or Alabama Vs. Penn State tickets :(

Trashmart....I mean Walmart
Mark my words today May 20, 2010 is the absolute last time I go to Walmart on my own terms! UGH!
First off if this town had a better grocery store, I wouldn't have this problem. Thanks Food World for going bankrupt (like everything else). I need a Publix or Kroger to move into that shopping center, so I don't have to go to the most horrible place on earth. Walmart that is! :(
Second, I usually go out of my way to go to a decent grocery store because I hate going to walmart because every time I am there some mullet head, blue jean short wearing, tattooed, toothless, ignorant redneck ruins my walmart experience every stinking time! Well, okay to be honest not all the time because it is fun to people watch and possibly catch a picture of someone to put onto peopleofwalmart.com!
Really though? Come on! Where do these people come from? I mean I was born and raised in a small town, but I don't remember people in Piggly Wiggly acting as ignorant as some customers of Walmart. Now, there definitely were some characters there! Trust me I used to work there! BUT GEEZ! Maybe Walmart is as big to people as say Saks Fifth Avenue is to some other people. It must be the roll back prices.
The final reason I dislike Walmart is because I cannot find anything! EVER! Everything is always ransacked and out of order. Then it happens. Stupidity. As I am trying to get down an aisle I have to swerve in and out dodging people like I am on a James Bond mission because I don't want to deal with the rudeness from people. Most of the time, they wont even move! So, then your have to pretend to look like your looking at other items because you don't want to start nothing with Bubba and Sally Mae and their five kids who are all barefoot because you don't want them going all redneck on you. You know what I am talking about! UGH. I guess what I am trying to say is that Walmart is just full of people like the "Odoyles"! HA- gotta love Billy Madison.
Needless to say, I am not going back to Walmart. So, no gift cards please. ;)

Going GaGa!
AHHH!
These days I am really thinking about how to get Lady Gaga tickets, Alabama VS Penn State tickets and Summer. How awesome would it be to see Lady Gaga in VEGAS?! Whatever to you NonGaga Fans. You just don't understand! I mean Vegas to me is pretty much been there done that, BUT I would go if I had tickets to Lady Gaga to complete the Vegas experience. She has the best workout/fun music EVER! So sorry Salt N Peppa you have been pushed back into the music library.
I also really would like to see Alabama VS Penn State. Not only to see the oldest coach still coaching, but it just seems like a classic vintage game that I absolutely cannot miss. Especially after messing with Texas.-- Oh yea I went there! Roll Tide! I mean to see a national championship game and then two all American teams playing against each other would just be the highlights of my football fan career.--Yes, it is a big deal. Just about as big of a deal when I saw Nick Saban on the Bryant-Denny field the first time. *Hint Hint* Evan or Parents* These tickets would be a great anniversary or early birthday present. If I must say Janice, these tickets along with our national championship tickets would add great character amongst our wonderful ticket collection on our den wall. :)
Recently, I am mainly thinking of SUMMER because it's inching closer and closer. It is so close that I can feel it! I believe I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only 8 days until lake house serenity!
However, I am starting grad school and traveling alot. :) I can't WAIT till Houston. Evan and I are going out there for a wedding, but we are going to also get to see some close friends of ours; Sara and Neil! I can't wait to explore a new town! I've been to Texas a few times, but never to Houston. I am so excited! I am also excited about going with Evan to D.C. too! We have planned to take the train one weekend to New York and then another weekend to Gettysburg. I am excited about going to New York! Especially for the great shopping, and possibly a celebrity spotting. Last time I was in NYC I met Pam Anderson; she was really sweet. I am also excited about Gettysburg because I haven't been there since I was in fifth grade. Back then I don't think I really truly appreciated the wow factor of this place because I was so young. However, this time I think I am going to because I like history more and because Evan is pumped about going!
Hopefully during all of this I can squeeze in to ATL because I really want to spend time with Heather and do some fun girly wedding planning stuff. ;) Even though she already has everything or most of everything planned, but at least I can go see what she has planned.

Alvin and the chimpmunks have a new home!
Alvin and the chipmunks and their freaking entire extended family have a new home....MINE. UGH!
Our property is completely covered with little tiny chipmunk hide-a-ways. Where the heck is Billy Murry (the dude from Caddy shack for those who don't know what I'm talking about) when you need him!!!? AHHH! Yes, I know he was chasing a groundhog, but I need someone with his mad skills. Don't laugh! I have a serious problem here! I've got to get this under control before they invade our house. Any thoughts on what to do?
Every time I go outside or pull in the drive way I seen tiny rodents scatter. At first I was like uhh what the heck is that?!? Hmm to small to be tide haha...Is that a rat...no my friends it was Alvin.
The first time I saw dear Alvin was last year when he was trapped in our garage. I thought he was just one chipmunk being mischievous. Evan somehow got him into the trashcan and planned to "dispose" him, but you know me the crazy animal lover. I started pitching a fit, so he decided he was going to just let him go. So, I told him before he let him free to let me pet him. HAHAHA. Stupid idea. Evan had on these work gloves holding the chipmunk with both hands. As soon as I reached out the touch Alvin. He goes berserk and turns into Lucifer. He started barking and hissing, so what did Evan do? Threw him up into the air of course. So, I started screaming bloody murder because a wild animal was flying in mid-air and I obviously didn't want it to land on me and give me rabbis or some other illness.
Yeah...so now I am completely regret not letting Evan dispose of the little rodent. Now, Alvin found his ole girlfriend Britney and apparently they now have a little baby chipmunks who spend their time tearing up my yard! UGH!

The Wife of a FDIC Examiner
Well, as you all know Evan started working for the FDIC as soon as he graduated from Alabama. Which was fantastic seeing how there were absolutely no jobs being offered because of the stupid economy. So, I am definitely thankful that he even got a job. I mean how wonderful would it had been if he got a job selling insurance. We would be eating fried bologna sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, I definitely count my blessings because it can always be much worse.
I knew that when he was hired he would have to travel. Honestly, I thought he would be gone maybe a couple of weeks out of the year to go to conventions and or classes in D.C. Boy, was I in for a surprise. During his first year of employment, I didn't even realize how much he actually traveled. Maybe because I was in my last year at Alabama, and I was planning a wedding.
In the midst of buying our house, I began to realize what my life of the being a FDIC Examiner's wife was going to be like. So, not even getting settled into our house Evan was already "shipped" off to school in Dallas. AHHHH! I this was the most time I have ever spent away from him. April to July is a long time to be away from your significant other. Of course we made it work. Then when he gets back he starts his normal work. Gone to a bank for two weeks; in the office for one week. Did I mention we were planning a wedding, traveling "home" every weekend for showers and what not, oh and I just started my new job. STRESSFUL. As a result, our house never got unpacked. Still to this day I am sure somewhere in this house is a box of stuff we have yet to unpack. So, we got married and then everything just stopped for awhile.
Adjustments for me are so hard to get used to. I mean I moved away from my friends, family, school life, and my husband is gone during the working week. Now, I living in this old house with noises I am not used to, living in a new town, dealing with the pressures of a new job, and no friends or family around. Talk about some serious alone time. Uhhhh where is the manual for this?
Finally, I have gotten into a grove! When Evan is gone I try my best to stay busy and do all of the wife duties that I can. Really, you can clean and do laundry all you want, but at the end of night your still sitting on your butt watching TV alone with your cat. Ugh. I did not want to be the weird cat lady who lives down street that nobody wants to chat with. So, I started painting in a class, getting ahead with my lesson plans, visiting with some new friends, going to the gym, and sometimes if the weather is just perfect I am doing yard work. Ha that last one doesn't happen to often. Now, I am going back for my masters in education and of course blogging. Yes, I know at the end of the night I am still alone after all this, but at least I not sitting around doing nothing with my life. We are also about to join a church which I think will help tremendously.
Now, being the wife of the FDIC Examiner does have its perks. Since Evan stayed on the road most of the time during his first year of employment, he had enough hotel points to pay for our stay in Italy! AWESOMENESS! So, I know I can suck it up and deal with him being gone sometimes because I know that great things will come from the pain of him being gone. Yes, I am still sad on nights he is packing his bag because I don't want him to leave. I just remember to count all the blessings I have been given each day and cast my cares up to the Lord for him to do the rest. I am starting to get used to and somewhat enjoy my life here and now as the wife of a FDIC Examiner. :)

The PPP
Hello,
This is my first blog since college. I had to make one of these for a course I was taking and I haven't used it since. I honestly thought blogging was lame until a while ago. Actually, my sister-in-law and friend started blogging to keep us updated on their upcoming life altering events. Yes, I know. Aah. Now, I'm addicted to reading their blogs, so I thought it would be fun to start my own. We shall see how this works.
Okay, so you may have been wondering what the heck does PPP mean and where did it come from. Well, my darling husband, Evan, gave me this nickname when we were working on our house a while back. It stands for "Pretty Pretty Princess". Then I made up this rap to go along with it. I'm the PPP ya you know me! Currently, that's all I have to this "rap". You really have to understand our mature and always serious relationship. HA! As we have once been described as two feisty kittens who play all the time. Yes, this is very true but we are also madly in love with each other and are serious when it is time to be serious.
Now, I'm sure you all know why Evan gave me this title as "PPP". I guess you can say..ugh I'm not really the best laborer or the best person to work with him. I love Evan very much, but he is no picnic to work with either. I mean for example we were painting front side of our house. I guess, it was just too much for me-I mean us to handle.. HA! In my defense there is only so much a 5'0 small person can do! I painted the door frame, the base of the columns, the rest of the columns that I could reach, and most of the ceiling on an eight foot ladder. By the way, that took mad balancing skills! Thank goodness for cheerleading. :) While Evan, bless him takes on WAY too much. Mixing the paint, running back and forth from the garage doing whatever he does, and keeping me entertained. Looking back I know why he gave me the title "PPP" because every time he tried to start painting the eves haha..he had to help me or fix something else. So, needless to say we have not finished painting. We-I mean I have decided to hire someone to finish the job. Hopefully, we will wrap this project up soon.
Another reason why Evan gave me the title "PPP" is because he spoils me rotten and does alot for me just because he loves pampering me and seeing me happy. Or maybe he does these things just so he doesn't catch crap for not being sweet. Nah, truly I think he does it because I am his "PPP". I mean of course he showers me with his love which is plenty, but he does do some pretty awesome stuff that he doesn't get enough recognition from me. So, I don't mind being called the "PPP" because I know I am Evan's and that's all that matters. :D
