I hope everyone had a wonderfully happy holiday.  I should have posted holiday wishes a lot sooner but I've been incredibly busy.  We spent a week in Ontario with Charlie's family, and it went even better than I could have imagined.  They were so friendly and welcoming, and they adored Tori.  We had a lot of fun talking about the upcoming wedding ( ( Read more... )

I've been in such a funk of depression over this last week and I can't seem to snap out of it.  I feel like I have no energy, I don't want to go to work or to associate with anyone.  All I want to do is just mope around in my pj's and watch period films.  I haven't been able to give in to that desire yet, however, because I have to go to work.  I ( Read more... )

 So.  I've been trying really hard to eat healthier, and stay on a low carb diet.  And, of course, stay away from too much junk food such as chocolate, potato chips, and my greatest addiction...Pepsi.  It's been pretty tough for me but I think I'm doing ok so far, eating lots of fruit and vegtables.  But there are times, like right now, when I'm ( Read more... )

I finished babysitting early today so I now have 3 extra hours of time to myself.  I think I'll bake some cookies with Tori and maybe make a few icons...something I haven't done in so long I think I might have forgotten how...or how to make anything worthwhile anyway.

It snowed here today.  Not a lot, just enough to remind me that winter is just ( Read more... )

 I am so tired.  I have to leave for work in an hour and it's going to take every bit of energy I can muster just to get myself there.  I only work for 5 hours, but right now it feels like the longest shift in the world.  My couch and The Tudors are looking very tempting right now.  I may have the option to leave early when I get there if we're not ( Read more... )

 I've been gone for a long time.  Too much has happened for me to even attempt to explain where I've been or what's been going on with my life.  I was going through a great deal of stress/depression and I needed time alone to heal emotionally and spiritually.  I'm feeling much better now, and life is going pretty well.  Aside from the fact that ( Read more... )

I'm at work right now and things are pretty slow, so I've been searching Amazon.com for some new items to pick up.  So far I've added the following to my wish list:

Uglies, Pretties, and Specials by Scott Westerfield
His Dark Materials (trilogy) by Philip Pullman
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
The Dark Mirror, Blade of Fortriu, and The ( Read more... )

I''m at work right now, and I don't remember the last time I longed for my bed as much as I do right now.  I feel awful.  I have a stomach ache, a headache, chills, and feel incredibly tired.  It's taking everything in me not to fall asleep at my desk.

I'm dying to discuss 'Eclipse' with someone.  I feel heartbroken and emotionally exhausted after ( Read more... )

Charlie is gone.  I'm doing better than I thought I would be.  Yesterday Tori and I spent the day at the lake with my family, and last night I watched 'Big Brother' with a couple of friends.  Tori is at the lake again today with everyone, but I woke up with a headache so I'm just spending the day alone, enjoying the quiet and losing myself in ' ( Read more... )

The time has come again.  Charlie leaves tomorrow morning, not sure for exactly how long this time.  We've spent the last few days cleaning the house and getting him packed up, so tonight we can just cuddle up as a family and watch movies, trying not to think about saying goodbye in the morning.  I hate this.  Each time we have to do it I think it' ( Read more... )
