i've been busy a lot lately and haven't been up to posting much. i've went to texas on vacation and wanted to share a little of texas, but i haven't got it in me to go find the camera to upload to the computer. i wish i could just magically tell the camera to upload all the pictures to the computer without having to plug in anything or mess with wires. it's just pure laziness that i haven't uploaded those pics. i have a routine of organizing my pics after i upload and i just don't feel like doing that either so that is probably another reason why i'm delaying the uploads.

when i got home this evening brian, my dog and i went to go to the automatic car wash to give our suv a bath. we went to the rez not too long ago and brought back a lot of rez dust and dirt that was left behind by people's dirty feet. then we went to this chinese restaurant that we sometimes go to. it's called shangri-la. they are located near 28th avenue & cactus in phoenix. their egg rolls are good and their egg drop soup is to die for. i swear it is the best egg drop soup i've ever had in my life! my favorite from the menu is the spicy and tangy beef. it is very good if you like a little fire to your dish. i love chili. i would say that i eat with chili about 50% of the time. if i can get my hands on chili i will eat it. there was actually a point in my life that i actually had to eat it with everything that i ate. it almost felt like i was missing something from my dish or like it had no taste without the chili. just like when people say that their dish needs some salt. anyway, it was good to the last drop! yep, i ate ALL that i ordered. i sort of skipped lunch and just ate some trail mix because i was too busy trying to catch up on some stuff at work. for the past 3 weeks i've been helping out another site because their person left the job and i was asked to come help out. it sucks, but at least i get paid for mileage! yay! anyway, i think i'm just rambling now......after i finished my dinner i went to sleep for about 2 hours and started cleaning like a crazy fool! my sister is flying in tomorrow morning. she is taking 2 1/2 wks off. she's currently stationed in washington state. the reason why she is coming down is because in june she will be sent overseas again.....to korea! Cool! i've always wanted to see korea. if plans work out, brian, my mom and i are going to be going to korea next year. my mom's birth place and 1st home. i've never met anyone on her side of the family. hopefully, next year will be the year when i finally get to. well, i better get to bed. i was energized for a while, cleaning and scrubbing waiting in anticipation for my wonderful little sister to arrive. good night.
