I don't know why, but whenever I have headphones in, I can't concentrate on anything other than the headphones. They're so insistent. Like, "No! You can't pay attention to the computer! You're listening to music right now, and that's all you'll be doing!" in a very gruff, headphoney-type voice. Or maybe it just superimposes itself into the music. ( Read more... )

Know why? Because I just helped make a special, completely-from-scratch vat of chicken noodle soup. Our youth group is hosting a "Soup Social" (aka: all-you-can-eat soup fundraiser) and we spent this evening making very large vats of chili, vegetable minestrone, and chicken noodle soup. I had three jobs throughout the evening: a) de-bone a chicken ( Read more... )

Augh. Today is just one of those days. I feel like a beached whale. None of my clothes seem to fit properly, and the ones that do just look awful and drab and unfashionable. That's what I get for watching Extreme Makeover and eating leftover birthday cake, right? God, I'm unhealthy. It's just so hard to get out and exercise when it's so effing cold ( Read more... )

Don't have much time to post, really. I'm doing this mostly as an act of defiance. It's my last day at work, my manager isn't here, and there aren't many people in to exercise. I also ordered pizza from Godfather's for lunch and had it delivered here, another act of defiance. Hah! to your lousy dieting!

In other news, we got our new puppy a couple ( Read more... )

I think we need to have a livejournal funeral for Elise, since she's quite obviously dead ( Read more... )

So, it's only been 4 days, I know, but I am not that lenient. Just like all of you internet fiends to ignore your cyber-duties when I am feeling most isolated and desolate! Augh! The woe! The WOE ( Read more... )

I can be kind of an idiot sometimes, but seriously, I don't think I've ever come to hate a job so much so quickly. It had to be done, but I don't think I did it in the most graceful way. I feel kind of nauseous, actually. It's all because I'm spineless. Here's how I did it ( Read more... )

I am so bored! Augh augh augh! I mean, I suppose it goes without saying, because why would I be on livejournal if I wasn't bored? Honestly? (I mean, besides checking to see what you guys are up to, my online buddies.) I am sitting alone in the kitchen, typing on the computer while my hubby watches the special features from Transformers with a geek ( Read more... )

No, I am not missing my home. Notice how I put a space between the two words. Yes, I am at my home, feeling sick enough not to go to work. Well...I suppose I could have toughed it out, but I really didn't feel like it today. So, I was just sick enough to not want to tough it out. So there. Instead of spending the day from 7am to 2pm watching old ( Read more... )

The house is a mess, and I promised Mark I'd clean/do dishes/do laundry today. I worked till 11, and now it's almost 2...and I haven't done anything yet. Well...that's not entirely true. I did upload the pictures from our new digital camera onto the computer, make a chicken pot pie, and watch an episode of Spongebob Squarepants. But, as for truly ( Read more... )
