I AM SO BORED.!

As no one really reads my journal anymore, (and I don't blame them) I'll write a little bit here and then probably go off in search of a community in which to ask a question also.

When I first moved here (almost a year ago!) I started to try to shop at the grocery store in search of healthy food. Kirk would have none of that. (I had to gradually change his way of thinking...lol). Of course you know, when I started adapting to what he'd eat / cook what I knew that I liked / could cook, I figured out the best kind of shopping list to follow that worked into a budget. But now....... a year later, and he's pretty much decided he probably now has full blown diabetes. He won't let his doctor diagnose him though because that would probably give his health insurance the reason it needs to cancel his insurance on him. (weight, high blood pressure, etc.) So he's decided to start watching his diet (finally!) and watch the carbs. He made quiche for dinner for himself the other night. I don't like that.. so I had an omelet but all day the day after my stomach was kinda jumpy. I'm not too well with a lot of dairy. I eat eggs, cheese in moderation. And I drink lactaid, instead of regular milk. Once my doctor at home suggested to me to do the South Beach Diet, which I think would be an excellent start to lose weight for both of us, it's just half the things that they recommend would make me feel sick.

So now... I have to think of things to buy at the grocery store that we both can eat, healthy, lose weight, and manage his blood sugar. He tests his blood sugar and can at least tell where he is on that scale during the day. Now I have to be careful and watch my Vitamin K intake because of my coumadin, and he has to watch his carbs intake. BUT I want to buy stuff that we will eat / won't just sit around and spoil / would work into both of our situations / and isn't expensive. He cooks better than I do but it's better that I go to the store because he will end up spending wayyyyyyy too much. It's a very frustrating thought situation.

I'm sitting here with my bedroom window open, the sun shining, and listening to birds outside chirp away. It's such a sweet sound. :)

My Wish Lyrics


I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

Today is my last day at this job. I hope it goes fast!!

I received my 2 new shirts from Threadless.com in the mail today. Mike stopped by and said they're both...weird. :) I've been stuck on a new contract with work cause I'm one of the few full-time people on 2nd shift, compared to all the part-timers so I have no idea what I've made this week but I fear that it is a lot less than I'm used to. :( I'm stuck sitting in a lower desk so I am more uncomfortable than ever sitting still at a desk all night. I always liked using the higher desks but they didn't put this program on those. Halfway through September now... better get ready for work... have to leave in 25 minutes lol and I haven't much started to get dressed for it. It's Friday. Tomorrow morning I pick up my new glasses! :)

Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.

:( Breed Specific Legislation

Breed-specific legislation (BSL) is spreading like a cancer from one community to the next. Denver, Miami and the Canadian province of Ontario are forcing residents to hand over their beloved and innocent family dogs for unjustified euthanasia, else they must move from their homes...or stay and become criminals in order to protect the ones they love. Oklahoma, California, and other state and local legislatures are currently considering similar breed specific bans and/or discrimination. In response, guardians of Pit Bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers, Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Chows and more, have posted their very personal and deeply emotional feelings to www.sorryagain.com, a website created to heighten public awareness of the slaughter of thousands of innocent dogs, and the unconstitutional laws set in place which are destroying an untold number of families.

I just made bbq boneless ribs for dinner tonight and baked apples. Mmmmmmmmmm. They were so good. I had never made them before, and my mom never has either. Kinda made them w/ no sort of recipe, pretty much like I make anything. I don't cook that often but seems as if I am a good cook lol. :) About to have some corn on the cob also. It's kinda late but I forgot I was going to make the ribs tonight so I started them late lol.

worldly news - no more Pluto and the morning after pill was approved.

yet in my world - i'm bored!

lol. I don't know why I write anything.. I just talk to myself anyways. Well at least everyone know I read this everyday, if you didn't know already. Thoughts are with a few of you out there...

I got to work like usual today. After 45 minutes there, right after I heard about on the radio a wave of storms situated over Lake more (where I work), this huge crash of thunder & lightning hit and all power went out for a few seconds and the connections to the network were lost. So we had option of sitting around and waiting for over an hour for the computer network guy to come in and fix everything or leave w/o an incident and we now do have option of making up that time before Friday. I doubt I make up the time but I definitely took advantage of leave w/o incident. That doesn't happen anymore. And I didn't feel like working today anyways lol! So I left work at 4:30 and drove home through lightning and flooding roads and hard to see conditions. For the last hour it was pouring rain and the park is flooding, small little creek overflowing down the road here and you can see it just coming up out of the drain and bubbling across the street to those houses right there. Jamie's house. It's got to be flooded down there. Just a block down even. Of course our kitchen ceiling is leaking like usual everywhere inside but no sounds of waterfall in the basement lol. Rain seems to have calmed down now though. Too bad it will only be a brief interlude from the very hot and humid temperatures outside.

20 JULY 2006


just got this email, and heard it on the news this evening too .lol.

my throat has not gotten better. tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics and you woulda thought... theres another qtrly meeting for work tomorrow , early, dont think im going to it. i got up way early last weekend, and now, i dont think im doing it again. even tho i'd get paid.. paid more than i made last weekend at the craft show anyways. just not worth it, i dunno. dont go into work today till 5 cause of company picnic, glad i didn't go, being sick and it being sooo sooo hot outside now. kinda rambling, so i'll write myself more later i think

more later on weekend. but the weekend shifted my sleep habits. (or that could be the being sick part also). went to bed at about midnight last night. woke up at 8am this morning. washed my sheets. (need to clean my room, am wondering if thats partly to blame for my being sick.) meant to lay down a bit.. i leave for work in less than an hour. have about half hour to lie down some. i need a job where i don't sit the entire time, nor do i stand the entire time. a little of both. need to keep active.. i feel better when i do. i'll probably be sleepy throughout the night tonight. and coughing. it just stormed here. the side door area started flooding and it sounded like there was a waterfall in the basement. its stopped now tho... its still dark in the house/kinda outside though. no sun anyways. at least it was a great sunny weekend for us.

happy birthday suz_unplugged

The Tim McGraw/Faith Hill concert has been postponed for July 30th. Good thing I heard it on the radio this morning on my way to the Nat. I just got back home from stopping by my grandma's after swimming and then taking her over to Julie's to celebrate Alex's 7th birthday (I tricked grandma into going, heh) . So I just checked my email and had I not heard the radio message earlier, I would've seen the emails I got from the radio stations and Ticketmaster informing me of the postponed show. So now..... I work on jewelry.
