Wednesday Words


"Heidi, this was the first time you cried on camera and it wasn't fake."

Spencer "Douchebag" Pratt on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here.

Funniest damn thing I've heard in a while, LOL!!!

Mayhem Monday


This "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here" is but a poor imitation of the original!

Seriously, Spencer and Heidi? Why make those of us who don't watch Mtv suffer? And since when is Mrs. Blago a celebrity?

It was so bad, I didn't even get through the first hour.

Now that just means I can watch Jon & Kate. : ) Their drama is far more interesting.

Simple Sunday


How is everyone on this day before Monday? : )

This has been anything but a simple day for me. I woke up at 5 AM this morning with a sudden desire to clean out closets and organize. WTH?????

So today cleaned out my hall closets, organized my craft stuff/projects in drawers and boxes, cleaned out my bedroom closet(still working on organizing that), organized my jewelry on hooks on my wall, organized my scarves, did 3 loads of laundry, went to the store and am now working on doing a menu plan and planning my wardrobe for the week.

Damn I'm tired!!!!!

Yesterday I hit JCP and picked up a couple of pairs of capri'sto get me through this size until I get back down to a 12. Once I hit that, I can start wearing my JCrew and Banana Republic Capri's again.

Then I hit Kohls and picked up some really cute shirts that will work for both work and weekends.

Also hit the thrift stores over the weekend and got some major scores. My favorite is a brown/black/white small Kate Spade tote that will be my new work bag for summer. I also got some cute shoes(including some adorable red sandals), some red capris and some funky leopard and red heels from Rampage that will go fab with something I'm planning for Halloween. I'll try to get pic's up this week!

I'm back to low carbing next week. I think that I'm going to very low carb it for the month of June to blast off quite a bit of weight so I can work out without feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack or blow my knees out again. Then it will be low carb(since I do better on it as far as cravings/binging goes) and low glycemic.

My dental work is almost complete so soon I'll be able to smile again. I just have one old filling that needs to be replaced(it's causing food to get stuck a LOT and making it difficult to eat certain foods) and some bonding done on the gap in my front teeth. They consider bonding cosmetic so insurance won't cover it but we are going to see if we can get it covered since food gets stuck up there, possibly causing gum issues. Cross your fingers since bonding is $142 a tooth. : ( I get my teeth polished Tuesday and the bonding done on Thursday.

I also have an appointment with my GP to get my bloodwork and annual physical done. I'm making sure that my cholesterol and glucose level is tested since that has never been done and we suspect that I may be pre-diabetic or something. Everytime I eat white carbs(bread, pancakes, etc), I get extremely sleepy, to the point where I have to go to sleep. Not sure what's causing that but it's something that probably needs to be checked out.

Also looking into joining the Y. Not sure if I can swing it financially but I'm going to try. FGG will be able to work out there as well so he can stay conditioned during the off-season of baseball.

Whew, I wrote a lot! : )

So, what did everyone else do this weekend?

Fuzzy Friday


I wish I was fuzzy, LOL!

I'm off from work today since I have a ton of vacation days to burn off before the end of June.

The plan WAS to take FGG to lunch to celebrate the end of the school year but Co-Parent's Mom called at the LAST minute to ask him to lunch and to see a movie. She's been in town for over a week but decided last night that she wanted to see her grandson. Typical!

So I took the high road and put off my plans with FGG so she could take him out. It kinda sucks since I specifically took this Friday off for those plans so now I have nada to do but I guess that is what happens when you take the high road when dealing with people like Co-Parent and his family.

Seriously, they are so lucky that I'm nice about stuff like this. But I have a feeling that one of these days, fairly soon, that FGG and I both are going to get tired of the disrespect and the lack of common sense and common courtesy and that will be that. FGG is already distancing himself away from Co-Parent. Actually, Co-Parent seemed to check out of his realationship with FGG when he got his insta-family so FGG is fully justified now in doing what he's been wanting to do for a while.

It's sad really but it's not totally unexpected. Co-Parent and his family have always been like this, thinking the world revolves around them and treating FGG like an afterthought. FGG is just old enough now to really see how things are and make his own decisions about how much contact he has with them.

Too bad, they are all missing out on just how cool FGG is. But it's ok, because that just gives him more time with our side of the family and gives us time to appreciate him even more.
