New Years Resolution

So it's that time to think of what I want to resolve for next year. So here are my resolutions
1. No fast food resturaunts except fo Moes or Five Guys but no more weekly Wendys or Taco Bell.
2. Lose 5 - 10 pounds by actually working out and getting toned.
3. Renew my registration for either the kickboxing or aerobics class when they are done in April, whichever I like better.
4. Go to the log cabin once this summer to see a car show.
5. Have a huge cookout at our house.
6. Tile my floors.
7. ENJOY MY LIFE

So that's it. I really just what to better myself, fufill all my empty doings, and finish everything that I have started over the years. I'm tired of being skinny and weak when I used to be able to bench 140. Now I weigh that and I want my strength and tone back. Well let's see where I am in April.

Have a great night <3 Mrs. D

A year in review

So as I sit on my couch, because I got sent home from work sick, hoping and praying I will be better tomorrow night, I think about everything that happened this year.
In January I found out my best friend was pregnant, Mr. D got a new jeep, and we went to the annual brewfest. February I had my bridal shower and in March we had our winter shoot out and We Got Married in VEGAS!!
April we went to Antigua for an amazing honeymoon.
May was light and I bought my awesome new car.
In June we were in our close friends wedding and we had our pig roast/wedding reception July was my stupid cousins wedding. I really hate her and she practically ruined my wedding adventures. We saw our close friends and in August we enjoyed the warmth.
September my godson was born and October we located our favorite new bar.
November was hunting, I got a sweet 8 pt buck that is now mounted in my entry way, and thanksgiving which is all family.
December was holiday planning and Christmas.
This year we tried new foods recipes, I baked my first pie and pie crust, it came out OK, we decorated our home and just enjoyed our lives.
It's been a good year and we're lucky to have the things we do. This upcoming year holds many suprises and hopeful wishes. I hope everyone has a Happy and Fabulous New Year!!!

Sicky

I haven’t been sick in over a year. Which is a freaking miracle for me, and now, I have a head cold! Ugh!! It sucks, I’m stuffed, slow and achy and my nose is hurting. So I’m taking massive meds and beating this thing before New Years! I am going out in my sexy dress and I am going to party…as long as I can breath and am not sick.
So speaking of New Years; I have to think of what I want to be my resolutions for this year.
Oh well. Off to play some tic-tac-toe with my friend in Olean over e-mail. Yup it’s that slow.

Christmas

So this year as I said before we’re doing our own traditions. Which I was so happy about! We went out the night before Christmas Eve and met up with Joe the bartender and his friends. They’re our age which is really cool and all Irish which is hard to understand when you get drunk. So we went out and on Christmas Eve morning we woke up, made our coffee, and unwrapped our gifts to each other. Mr. D got an autographed photo of Burt Reynolds with 4 original Smokey & the Bandit film strips, a pair of dress beach pants, a thermal, two sauces, a step counter, and a make your own sauce recipe book. I got my own tool kit, a perfume puff, some good smelling lotion, chocolate truffle bread mix, real hot cocoa, espresso chocolates and a Panini recipe book. I think it’s funny we both got each other cook books.
My mother as always gets me the fun stuff I want. This year I got a bread maker, sewing machine and for the first time ever an awesome new purple pea coat that fits my arms. I’ve never had a women’s coat fit my arms before; because they’re so long. The Mr. got an army issue laptop cause, Super Mario for the Wii, and a deep fryer, along with a bunch of knickknacks and small things. My parents always seem to get us the fun stuff that we love and use.
The in-laws got us some gift cards, Mr. got a some new shoes and slippers and a sweater and some other things and I got a really nice bracelet a nice coat, scarf and gloves and some pajamas. Mr. D’s dad got me a 3 photo frame with these amazing black and whites in them. Turns out his dad took them from Mendon Park and they’re great. There’s a 10pt in one and a stream and woods and it fits my style perfectly. Mr. D got an awesome military carry bag for all of his ammo and gun accessories and I got 5 new large multi photo frames.
So everything is put away and most of the frames are up and filled. The bread maker and sewing machine will be used this week to make a new skirt and some awesome cheese bread.
All in all it was a good Christmas and the gift of giving was everywhere. That’s not really what matters though, Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and the gifts he brought to us, hence the gifts we give to each other.

I don’t want to get into religion and all that but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas weekend.

Ho ho ho

My family goes to christmas eve mass every year. It's me my brother mom dad hubby and my gramma. So were there and there's
this lil tramp who's there with her family every year. I went to catholic shook with her many year ago and she hasn't changed. Well she shows up in fuck me heels and a short skin tight dress. My question is where in her right mind did she think that was apprpriate for mass especially Christmas eve mass??? Really now. So besides that lovely tidbit me my dad and brother are last at getting communion and we crack up laughing when we get back to our pew. So yes there was a two bit d- actress dressed like she's going to an audition for "girl who makes out in scene 2 then gets killed" but hey it was entertaining.


By the way mass was wonderful and truely brought out the meaning of what christmas is really about asfather mike always does.

<3 Mrs.D God Bless I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas

SMRT

I would like to know how people post philosophical things on a daily basis? Really, is your life that interesting? Because mine is definitely not. Like I can post on my switching your doctor while trying to get a prescription filled does not work and can bring you to yell at MEDCO over the phone. Or how I ponder the choice of cookies & milk over a work out and cookies & milk always win. Or how I eat anything that is put in front of me whether I’m hungry or not. Or how I think our government is going to shit, but that’s for a different day. But I’m not philosophical, I used to be dreamy and write poetry, draw, sketch, paint, dance, but life set in and I lost all that beauty to guns, reality tv, and math.
Also how do I get followers? I don’t need them, but am I just writing to vent, or do people actually think I’m interesting. I think it’s the prior really.

Well my two cents for the day.

traditions

so this year we are doing things a little differently for Christmas. We're still doing the steak dinner church and presents with my parents and brother on Christmas Eve, but afterwards w're going back to our house. Usually we goto my in-laws and spend the night there. Then wake up, usually at 6 cause I can't sleep, and lounge around. I take a nasty shower and don't like what I'm wearing but am stuck with it. This year we're going to sleep in our bed and get ready at our house then drive to the in-laws in the morning to be there by 8:30. That's not really bad actually, I just gotta get up the same time I get up every M-F for work. Then we do the usual Daggett lunch and then head out to my families Christmas dinner, at my parents this year. We're going to visit my aunt and uncle on the way and go home way later. I'm so happy that I don't have to work the next day for once. I'm also happy that we're starting our own personal family traditions. Yes, we have lived together for 4 years and have been doing the same thing for 4 years, but this is our first Christmas as a married couple and it's time we start doing things the way we want. My family is all for it, they want us to have Christmas morning at our house and have our own personal traditions. My in-laws are all against it, and change and just my M-i-L is all upset because her baby boy won't be there in the morning. Well we're starting our own family. That's all I have to say to that. :-)

btw I'm having a rough day and it took a lot to not swear or vent in this.

<3 Mrs. D

Naughty or Nice

I've decided I'm too nice. When Mr. D & I got married, we did it in Vegas and 40 of our closest family and friends came. Well, Mr. D's lovely sister, brother-in-law, and neice, couldn't afford their full ticket and hotel. I knew how much it meant to him to have his sister there, who is 6 years older than him and should be wiser. I paid for their room & board. two words - NEVER AGAIN!!! It has been a year, and I have been getting $200 payments per month since March from them. In July a check bounced. In October the payments stopped. Well I've had it. It's been I'll send it when I get paid, nothing. Oh I gave it to my mom cause she said she'll see you. Nothing. Oh I'll send it out after I get paid, again nothing. I'll send it out in the morning and pay the rest after Christmas, nothing. Mind you there is only $427 left.

So today I got an e-mail. Is your Christmas shopping done yet? - from her. Yes it is, it's been done since October - Yup I rock -. Her reply "I am waiting on a check that was sent out on the 4th and is still isn't here. It was coming from PA, should have been here at least a week ago. Without that we are in big big trouble" and then "The power loss cost us everything in the fridge and freezer. That cost us tons to replace and with the car deductible repairs we just weren't in a good position and waiting on this check is killer. I had to pay for my two crows upfront and the dental insurance company reimburses us for it, so they have 2000 that I need ASAP. I have to pay the car and house payments."

So 2K is going to make everything better? really? you hired a professional photographer for family photos, which wasn't needed. You spend 13K in January because you thought that your taxes were going to be that much, and you got nothing because you owed the government so much. So yea. I'm tired of the sob story and the worst part is she wants to adopt 2 more baby boys in January and February, but she can barely afford to keep her house and car and her life, and plus her husband has no idea.

I have no sympathy.

Mrs. D

milk

Im sorry I just have to do a quick vent. People bitch and moan about the government giving local farmers money, but are they farmers NO. do they know what we go through NO. My family is a 4th generation dairy and crop farmers and we're fighting to stay alive. We're losing $500 per cow per month, multiply that by 983 cows and that's a lot. So yea, we're getting money, but we need it to survive. We're one of the largest dairy farms in Genesee county and we go to Washington and lobby and talk with committee's and our senetors to help us out. Nobody gets it, they think that we just milk more, or milk less and our problems solved. but its not that easy. Were a 24/7 operation not 8/5 like any normal worker. So guess what all you people bitching, you take away the money you take away the farmers you will have nothing. And PS Organic milk is a CROCK OF SHIT!! FTFU

Christmas Parties

What ever happened to the fancy dress, suit and tie Christmas parties? Does anyone have that anymore? Mr. D’s company has one and I feel like a princess when I get to wear my tulle skirt or silk chiffon and party the night away. But this only happens once a year, and it’s only one party. Why don’t people have those anymore? Now if you go to a Christmas party the people are wearing hoodies, jeans and sneakers. There’s no class or fun. It’s like a choir, like getting groceries. I want to bring that fun back. I want to dress up for a holiday party and drink champagne and wine or gin and tonics and laugh. They don’t even do that for New Years anymore. Well I’ve decided for my birthday I’m having a dress up party. Renting out the dining room up stairs at our local bar and everyone has to dress like they’re going someplace special. Bring back that sparkle and shine, the feeling like royalty and just enjoying the moment.

NASA

Growing up I wanted to do something great. I wanted to work for NASA and help design the next big spaceship. Or I wanted to work for Apply and design the newest computer (this was when the new Mac’s came out). Going to college I realized the one thing I was good at, designing, I hated doing. I HATED AutoCAD in college and I vowed that I would NEVER Ever NEVER get a job using it. Well my first job out of college, what was I doing? designing. Using AutoCAD. F****. That pretty much summed up my feelings for 2 years. I hated it, but I loved the people. Now I’m still at the same company, and technically I’m still designing, but at a different level. And I’m definitely more into sales. Now these may not be space ships or computers, but everything you use, eat, do, has a mixer involved and I think that’s pretty neat. I’ve also realized I hate designing still, but I love the sales end and commercial aspect. So someday, as long as I don’t get laid off, I may help run this place. That’s my new dream. I was watching Mr Deeds and at the end they brought up what each person wanted to do when they grew up, and what they were doing now. I’m not that far off from my dream, even though my real one is to be a super model (never going to happen), dreams do come true. You just got to reach for the stars & keep dreaming.

Men vs Women

I find myself lucky to be able to wear my dip-dyed pink & purple knee length full skirt, with my checked stockings and little black booties. With my white shirt, purple nails and bouffant hair style I prance through our office. I don’t have to wear a button down shirt if I don’t want to. I don’t need to wear a polo. Pants are optional if I have a skirt that hits at my knees, or is up to one hand higher than my knees. Shoes must be professional, and not hoochie, and make-up and hair it doesn’t matter as long as it’s neat. If my tattoos aren’t offensive or showing constantly, and you can’t see my bra or undies I’m OK. I choose to dress like a NYC starlet, a serious office worker, or just a lil off the wall. I’m not a guy, even though I’m in a guys world I don’t have to look like one. My favorite quote by Ms Marilyn Monroe, “I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a Women in it.” And boy ain’t that the truth to my life. I’ve been told I don’t look like an engineer and I don’t fit in, but until you get to know me, I act just like a guy, I just don’t have to dress like one.

I just wanted to state that I feel/look like a cutesy ballerina today and I’m damn proud of it.

<3 Mrs. D

oh to have a job

What do you do when you get layed off? Seriously? Because this may happen to me and I’m really not looking forward to it. I can’t go back to the farm, because they don’t have the money to pay me because the economy has destroyed them and there are pretty much no engineering jobs out there. Do you live on unemployment, ride the sweet train of free money or do you get off your bum and get a job, even if it’s just a bunch of part time jobs? I know what happens if I get layed off. I’m going to go door to door to every place that is looking for someone and apply, even if that includes being a bartender.
The reason this is coming up is because my partner, who’s also a manager, just told me that after the 1st of the year we’re having another round of layoffs. I pray I’m lucky, because technically they need us. We’re the first force for rep questions and sales but you never know. I have done great work this past month and have been praised by many, but if I get cut I just gotta promise myself I won’t cry until I get to my car. Eff

Today’s a bunch of babbling thoughts streaming together, so be prepared for more.

<3 Mrs. D

Friendly Confusion

I just wanted to state. How the f* can someone just up and disappear? There was this girl who was/still is married to my husband’s friend. I thought that she was a great person and I liked her as a friend and liked hanging out with her. Well apparently, she only hung out with me because our husbands are friends. At least that’s the jyst of what I got. She up and left him in October/September, for reasons we can only guess at. Yes, he was an asshole/prick but we don’t know the reasons and we’re not going to ask. She started seeing someone after he pleaded for her to come back and now she’s just up and blocked off EVERYONE that we, us girls, used to hang out with. I don’t get how someone can tell you yea I’ll call you and we’ll hang out, goto the mall, go get drinks, and the next day just cut you out of their life like you never knew each other. I don’t care about what’s going on between her and her ex, I didn’t even consider it because I thought we were friends past that.

Oh well. Superficial people suck.

One of a few for today - <3 Mrs. D

I have heartburn

I have heartburn. I get it pretty much every day. Nothing new. I just pop a few tums and things turn around in about 20 minutes. Am I concerned about the heartburn. Yes. Would any normal person be concerned. No. See I've had heartburn since I was about 7 years old. I used to get it so bad as a teenager that I would wake up at 2am puking up stomach acid. Then a few years later my grandma was diagnosed with cancer and died with in a month. Where did her cancer start? Her gallbladder, which I guess is a reason you get acid reflux?! maybe? All I know is when I was home from college my dad told my mom she needed to go to the doctor cause she was popping tums every day and she always had heartburn and that's what my gramma died of. heartburn cancer. well it wasn't heartburn cancer. She was diagnosed, then it went to her stomach, liver, she went blind, had a stroke, and passed away with in a month of the diagnosis. I loved her so much and wish Mr D could have met her. SO NEXT TOPIC because I'm getting teary eyed.

I have heartburn. I also realize I write like I talk, which is like a stupid valley girl, even though I'm actually really smart. And I talk like my mom and look like my mom who talks like my gramma and looks like my gramma (just taller) and yea. It's all a circle back to the heartburn. haha. I maybe making no sense what so ever but it's how I roll in my head.

So this all relates to genealogy, the heartburn, the speech, the brains, the looks. And yes right now I do have heartburn but this was not the route this blog would take. It wasn't going to be sentimental. It was supposed to go like this," I have heartburn, we have a mini snow storm. My fucking snow brush broke in half this morning while brushing off my car." That was my original train of though.
But I have heart burn and my thoughts jumble together. My speech is imperfect and I stutter alot but most of all. I'm like my mom and my moms like my gramma. and if I have to have heartburn, even though I may get cancer one day, I wouldn't change a thing as long as I'm like them.

Peace <3 Mrs. D

Me Time

It’s normal for everyone to have some ME time right? I believe so. I need it, daily. The 20 minute drive home sometime doesn’t cut it. Sometimes it takes that glass of wine or that check on the gossip page, but I need it. I was told by the hubs that I should not be bringing my work home with me, and normally I don’t. But certain days, like yesterday, I just need a little extra ME time. From when I got to work at 7:30 to when I left at 5:00 I was annoyed. For those that don’t know me, I’m a Product Support Engineer AKA Inside Sales Engineer. I help my Sales Representatives all around the world size and price industrial mixers, for all sorts of products. And No these are not baking countertop mixers.
So anyways, I have a rep that just annoys the piss out of me. Seriously annoys me. I came into work with 5 e-mails from him, 10 minutes apart, all from Sunday night, about the same thing. It’s called control your thoughts and just send one. Then I get a phone and numerous others until 4:50 when I left my desk. All of the questions he asked I answered prior in e-mails or over the phone. It just bugs me that he doesn’t A read or B take notes when talking. Needless to say I had a crummy day and I just wanted some ME time. The ride home was bad and then I had to go to Wegmans, and that’s always a semi-nightmare. My ME time concluded at 8pm last night, after my dinner, my workout, and my reading a magazine.
This ME time, does everyone need it? Yes, I believe they do. Is it accomplished differently? Yes, I think it is. From reading, driving, shopping, a hot bath, a glass of wine, or a good work out. Whatever it is, we all need some time to ourselves. Whatever makes us calm or happy enough to not bite off our significant others head when we get home. It’s the leave the work at the office and your personal life at home and it’s the ME time that’s needed for the in between.

Peace <3 Mrs. D

Past Present & Future

So this weekend I had a blast. I went to my hometown to go hunting and Friday night I went and hung out with my oldest friend. Well, she’s not my oldest fried, I have just known her since I was 5 years old.

We were having drinks and just got to talking. We talked a lot about everyone she saw last weekend at the bar, and how we missed a lot of people. There were people we never wanted to see again, people who thought they were too good for us, and people we never thought we’d see again.

Then we brought up Joey. Who is always in our hearts and on our minds, it was just ironic we both thought of him at the same exact time. All the memories, of the fun times, we all had at school. It’s just crazy it’s going to be 10 years soon.
We talked about our lives. About how I want to have a kid in 5 years and don’t want to move back to my parents town or to my husband’s hometown. I love where we live, the people, the place, it’s just perfect to raise a child. And we talked about her pending divorce.

It’s funny, well not really, I have a lot of friends who are going through divorce’s right now. My partner, married 15 years 3 kids. My sorority sister, married 10 years 2 kids. My friend married 1.5 years no kids. And my husband’s friends, one married 6 months, 1 kid and dated for 8 years, and one married 1 year no kids. Their’s I expected and feel terrible about. He loves her but is just rude, and she just up and left 3 months ago and ran away with another man. We were at their wedding. And I saw the signs, she didn’t want to get married, she left him twice when they were engaged.

It just makes me wonder. Will we make it? We’ve been together for 6 years, fought every once in awhile but never broke up. Have sex very regularly. Love to fool around and go out and just admire one another. So I always wonder, are we going to be ok. I think we will be, I pray we will be, but it’s not something that I dwell on.

Because I know whatever happens in our life happens. It just makes you think, about everything, that has happened in your life and wonder what will happen in your life.

Peace <3>

Early Morning

So I'm up. Dressed. Ready to go outside for the next 3 hours. Oh and it's 23 out. Why, cause I want to kill bambi's mom. Crazy I know. I don't get to go out every day like my dad and brother. Cause I can't come back to my hometown every day. So I am hardcore on the weekend. I tell my coworkers and they think I'm A. Crazy and B. nuts, but I love it. It's something I have done for years and if you look at me, you'd never know. I was told last night I look like I should be drinking wine, so Tanquere (sp?) and beer. Well whatever, I may look high class, but I'm definately redneck to the core. K I gotta get outta here Peace

90/10 Theory

My mom sent me this e-mail today and I think it’s so true. I was/am having a horrible day, and honestly it is my fault. It’s how I’m reacting to everything; things I can change and things I can’t change. So I want to share it, the e-mail link. I was going to write something else, but I think this is more appropriate because it fits my day. http://www.slideshare.net/fforfaisal/90-10-principle-presentation

Please click it. I think it’s so true and a great message to get across.

Anyways so my day – I’m freaking tired. So tired cause I worked the last night of my part-time job and got home at 11:15pm. BTW I wake up every weekday at 6:15 am. So I’m up, my eyes are dry so it’s a glasses day. I get dressed am so uncomfortable and just wanna wear sweats but I can’t. So I’m dressed and my hubby keeps grabbing my butt. Ya know I don’t mind it, but I’m feeling fat and trying to not be late and it’s just annoying me. So there’s that, and I act snide. I got dressed and went to get my coffee and lunch and he tells me to quit banging shit, well I gotta toss my tupperwear around him to get it into the sink cause he’s in the way. So I react badly to that. Basically, I’m in a pissy mood, and I could’ve been nice but I reacted badly, though about how he never tells me I’m pretty and how I think I’m fat and just irritated. I get to work, I’m tired, cranky, and now depressed. That’s my day, if I was nice in the morning and reacted better I would be happier right now.
So, the point of this 90/10 is so true right now and I just hope that I react better when I go home, cause I really need some cuddle & booty time.

The Intro; Even if it is Late

I started this blog in September when I was super depressed and then I never wrote in it. Things have changed since then which is good, but I think I may start using this now.

So, to introduce myself, my name is Mrs. Daggett. I have been married for about 9 months and been with Mr. Daggett for 6 years. It’s just me and him and our, my, cat. We work normal jobs, he’s a computer system engineer, and I’m a mechanical engineer. I guess what I want to do with this is just keep people up on our day to day fun activities of being a newlywed couple, in our mid 20’s, and coping with the responsibility of growing up.
