It's early in the morning, so I don't have much of anything to report. I hate getting up early, but I love taking a half hour to myself to drink my coffee and watch a show or something and pet the dog. It's hard to leave Bela in teh morning, because he looks so sad and follows me to the door with his long face. I'm going to be a mess if/when I have kids and I have to leave them at daycare or a babysitter. I remember bawling when my dad would leave me at daycare in the morning. If a kid was crying the daycare lady made us go sit in the hallway or back room until we were done crying. No comforting. I don't think kids should be coddled & not if they are having a tantrum, but if they are having an emotional crying fit out of emotional pain... then they should be comforted somehow. Area daycare people allowed to hug? kids need hugs.

enough psychobabble.

I'm trying a new flavor of Naked Juice today. The Red Machine. It's yummy and has lots of B vitamins and folic acid. My brain loves it and will munch it up.

Write me messages and stuff, I get excited and happy to have messages and comments! Even if it's just dumb stuff!

Have a Beutimous day!

I've been trying to read whenever I can find free time, which means I haven't been online as much as I used to be.

I have to figure out what to make for dinner. (or what Jim should make for Dinner)

My department at work is having a picnic day at an arboretum tomorrow. I'm excited. I am going all out and brining pickles and olives! A master chef I am... not. Does anyone watch Hell's Kitchen? We love that show. We are also a HUGE fan of Weeds... and are getting into "Greek"

Jim and I are going to start working out again. We are lards.

I brought home a new "necklace" for Bela today. We get cheap stuff at work. It's kinda braided and black and reflective silver. Manly!
This girl I work with and I were joking about how his current collar looked like a Teva Sandal!

:coffee: Hi. Here I am sleepy eyed. I've been up for a couple of hours. Dog had to pee... so I had to get up at 6 am! GRrr. I might go lay back down to snooze.

I have to go to a wedding tonight. It's for a pretty cool cousin so it probably won't be lame. I have to go shopping for a gift today.

I'm getting a new car soon. Jim and I are trying to decide what we want to get. He wants something more truck like. Something that could haul or pull something. I just want a teeny car, easy to parallel park I like trucks too, but we live in a VERY VERY narrow neighborhood and packed with traffic. Hard to maneuver around quick with a big ole truck.

I can't wait until my health insurance kicks in! I have a sinus infection I can't make go away! :angry:

Have a great weekend everybody!

It's almost the weekend. I need to figure out what I am doing! I'm really bad at making plans... and i'm really bad at doing anything if I don't plan something! haha. So I end up doing boring crap and relaxing. i'm supposed to pick a date to go out dancing with my ex sister in law ( my sister's ex wife) and an old friend of my sister's. We would be going out to a lez bar. Jim is always kind of nervous I'm going to leave him for a woman. Anyhoo, I also need to make a plan to take Bela the dog to a dog park with her too. He used to be her dog too. So much to plan.

I like my new job. It's been almost 3 weeks now.

I started running with the dog. Running hurts unless you have a really good bra.... and they are REALLY hard for me to find

I had my mom over last night. It was good to see her, but she's a goofball. Jim got kind of annoyed at her. She tries to be manipulative. blah!

I went to the Walker art center with Mandy and Lisa. That was really fun. You see some good art, and some that indspire you to keep creating your own... because you know you could easily do what they did... I just have to remember to use my voice.

Lately I have been struggling with pessimism. I need to put a positive spin on things. I need to have more hope. I need to live for today and remember that every thing you do effects your future and if you are happy golucky positive person more paths present themselves and so on and so forth.

I started my new job. I like it so far. Coworkers are nice.

I'm in my last half hour at my customer service temp job! This day lasted forever! I'm excited to start my new job at the humane society. very delighted to start. Also... I was think that this new job may pose some nice opportunities to snap pics of all the cute animals!

I've been a sloth when it comes to photo taking lately... so so sorry! please forgive. I plan to start taking more photos now. I have a 3 day weekend... so hopeffully I will take some fun stuff!

I feel like shit right now! I wish I felt better.... we are having a change in weather, it got really cool... and the pressure changed and I'm so friggin sensitive to that! My eyes want to burst out of my skull and I wanna ralph on everything.

I'm worried about my dog and our wood floors. They are too slippery... He gets excited runs around and falls down... it's scary cuz he's old and I don't want to replace any hips! GRrrrr!

I feel so out of touch here... I used to have communtiy here and now I've drifted! I want to get my community back!

So, Jimand I had a date to the zoo. I got some photos... not sure if they relaly turned out too well... maybe I will post some... but I know it's corny and generic to suddenly post a bunch of random wild animals just cuz ya went to the zoo! But oh well... I haven't posted anything but goofy self photos for a while... so I guess I can post a REAL monkey for achange! I'm a dork.

What is everyone up to this weekend?

I am obsessed with a new song... from the movie "Music and Lyrics" which is a great romance flick... or chick flick if you must.
So go check out my myspace page and listen.

I had yesterday off... and I have tomorrow off.. so it will be a brief little 8 hours shiftaroonie... then I get to come home and not in tomorrow... *sigh* I work all weekend though.. .so it's okay.

I had trouble waking up today... groggy... I just want to curl up and hide... but I am really happy... I just am a free spirit and want to do what I want to do... but I'm trying to force that down just for today... tomorrow I shall frolick and be free.

I miss being obsessed with books... I'm going to reread harry potter so I can get the book lust back!


I hope you all have a wonderful day!

take care

For some reason today I'm having an incessant need to be involved in things... and I want to put together demonstrations and lessons for children...

I took some new pics this morning, but I don't have photoshop... so I will have to find a new way to resize them... anyone know of any free programs that'll be easy to resize a photo? I'm just used to photoshop! Oh well... so maybe you will see them!

I took a new route to work this morning... it took only a half hour instead of an hour... wooohoo! I had to climb a fence though to get to work... but that's okay... that just means I can't wear skirts to work!

Well, I guess I should do something instead of just pissin around.... I guess I could do more organizing in my bedroom... so it's not so messy and jim can have room for his stuff. :sigh: I kind of just wanna go to bed right now... it's only 7 pm though... but I could sleep for hours... days...

So tomorrow night I have to try and have energy enough to go out dancing at a gay club.

I'm munching on delicious snacks. Waiting for phone to ring... no customers today... no one loves us today...

Man, I can't wait until I'm on top of all my bills! They are totally manageable... I just have to take care of all the months bills with my next pay check... and then I have to pay the tax dude so I can get lotsa monies back! So I have to work that in with my other bills! Just a lot of thinking... but financially I'm sitting well, I just have to organize it all! Maybe I'll get a part time job for the weekends... so I can have more play money!

I spend too much money on food I really don't need to eat that much... truly... I need to stop! Before obesity hits!

I believe that one way to get rich quick would be to work really hard becoming incredibly obese. Then you devise a plan to lose all of the weight. Create your plan with eating well and exercise. Of course you have to create some crazy diet and a weird exercise contraption. Then you work your butt off to lose the weight while documenting it all down in a book... then create your own magazine... and your name will be a household one.

You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

Man, starting a new job is overwhelming. So much info... and so much training time... and practice... and sitting their busying yourself because you can't do anything else at work.

I need to do the DVD titled "Cardio Cabaret"! Sounds fun! Last night I did "Hip Hop Abs". Abs are hipping and hopping all over the palce today...
I'm pumping vit C in my body in hopes that it will renurish my overworked underappreciated muscles... bugger. But I think I will at least do the crunches with the squishy ball... maybe not though... I heard you're supposed to give your abs (or any muslces) time to rebuild before busting them again... in order for them to grow stronger and tighter. So maybe some other toning will be accomplished tonight
I need a nap

Tomorrow is my last day here.
and half of the day is over today... and I have apple cider to keep me excited.

I have a wake to go to tonight... I might have to skip it if I don't feel too well...
want sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep....
