The Meaning Behind My LJ Name
In real life, I've been called Barbie for as long as I can remember, and, despite teasing and rude jokes, the name has stuck.
I have a pet peeve against screen names with a ton of numbers in them. I don't hate on people that have them, but I can't stand the idea of being #47239 of something. With a little bit of creativity and patience, it's not ( Read more... ) -
My Day in Great Detail (Part 3)
Got home from the food pantry at about 6 pm. Very exhausted from standing in line for several hours in the sun and heat, with no access to a bathroom. Would do it again in a heartbeat. We need to eat.
The bananas were over-ripe, so I cut them up, put them in Ziploc baggies, & froze them. More smoothie supplies. It's hard to have fresh fruits and ( Read more... ) -
My Day in Great Detail (Part 2)
Sat outside on the porch, waiting for L to come home from school. Went inside with him when he got dropped off. Finished watching the 2nd half of the episode of MI-5. Made mac & cheese for lunch.
Left L with my brother J and drove to the hospital for my MRI. Stopped for tacos at Taco Depot on the way home. We all are tacos.
Left L with my brother ( Read more... ) -
My Day in Great Detail
Woke up at 5 am & started a load of laundry. Then, I went back to bed.
Woke up again at 6. Woke up the Monkey and got him fed and dressed for school. Then, we sat on the porch and waited for the bus to pull up into the driveway. Watched the Monkey be all cute and excitedly run to the bus by himself.
Then, I went inside and took all of the dogs out ( Read more... ) -

I'm currently unemployed, living in my Dad's house with my Dad, son, & brother. We have 3 dogs, a ( Read more... ) -
sigh
Blood drawn for basic labs today. I'm afraid of what the results will be. I'm torn between wanting them to find a cause for my high BP and not. I'm young and fit, but genetically predisposed to high BP at a young age on both sides. So, it can go either way. I'm thinking it's either the chronic neck and back pain or the stress of having my husband ( Read more... ) -
health issues
So, my health is pretty much turning to shit. To some degree I blaim K for it. He was the first, and so far only guy that I ever loved. Him leaving me for another woman definitely broke my metaphorical heart, which in turn is effecting my literal heart. It doesn't help matters that he treats our son like shit, either. He's not violent or mean, just ( Read more... ) -
grr
Richie, the child-molesting, criminal, half-brother of mine decided to stop by yesterday. It took a lot of effort not to punch him in the face. He had the audacity to say, "Lucien should be old enough for me to be around." My son is 3, the same age as M was when Richie molested him. And, even if my son was 45, I wouldn't want him associating with a ( Read more... ) -

I'm trying to take better care of myself. I'm watching what I eat. I'm not restricting calories or anything, but mostly trying to make sure that I get plenty of fruits and veggies ( Read more... )
