truly random, truly me

 

Things have been all together busy around here while maintaining a 100% non-interesting and therefore, non blog-worthy, air about our days.

Unless, that is, you include work issues that involve the most ridiculous drama worthy of it’s own soap opera.

But since this isn’t the most appropriate place to vent my frustration caused by working with an unstable personality on the verge of insanity crossed with absolutely no self-awareness to their madness or the stupidity that comes from their mouth and the fact that everyone in the company wishes and hopes for this one person to flee as fast as they can in the furthest direction to a new job and leave our happy little world well alone…  since this isn’t the place, I won’t vent a single word about my past month of confrontations and boiling high blood pressure or say one single inappropriate word about said person =) {But oh wow, how that little bit of not venting felt good!}

And life goes on…

 

My baby cousin and I goofing around a week before she started her freshman year of college(!!!!) Is it seriously possible that she could be this old? Or that I could be this old???

 

In other randomness: on one of my days off recently, hubby and I decided we should jump out of a plane, just for the pure heck of it.

Mom, Dad, Sister, and Baby Cousin all came to watch this ludicrous display of ignorance.

 

We finished our training.

 

Got suited up, did our fist pound that explodes into a thumbs up, and said our goodbyes to everyone.

 

Then out into the clear blue yonder we went.

Or not.

More like we drove an hour and a half to get to this place, waited a couple of hours in sweltering heat and humidity inside an airplane hanger, got to see others jump out of a plane…

…and when it was our turn, it decided to sprinkle, followed with some wind and finished off with a little lightening, just for good measure :(

 

We ended up with a rain-check and a new date to tempt the hand of fate once more on September 15th.

The next time though, it won’t only be a second tempt of fate for Nick and I, but also for my mother. The same woman who wanted to sky-dive into her 50th birthday party that we held at the airport and who also wasn’t able to that day because of torrential rain and lightening. That was 7 years ago this coming Saturday and the poor lady still hasn’t been granted her death birthday wish yet!

I’m so glad we’ll all be able to together now because of our bad string of luck =)

{No one thinks God is sending our entire family a sign with rain and lightening that we shouldn’t be jumping out of planes do they??? I didn’t think so… that would just be silly. Right?}
