Me, Sissy, and JP. Friday at the Palladium.  Aw YA!

The invitations go out tomorrow morning. It was my late bus duty day at work and I got to the post office at 4.37.  They close at 4.30. Poo.  So, I'll leave early tomorrow so that I can be at the Post Office when it opens.
Eight weeks.  
JP's wedding ring came in today. He was really excited to try it on and asked if he could just start wearing it.  ( Read more... )

IHO: JP has been smoke free for over 40 days now!!
We both had an awesome time last night; dinner at Cafe Christine's was superb.  Everything tasted just like my grandma cooked it for me.  That's a wicked big compliment cuz that lady can cook.  Plus, the added fun of listening to the locals talk.  "If I could find a girl as nice as this dinner, I'd ( Read more... )

 So I haven't had anything sugary in 2 weeks.  I've read a lot about the PCOS and endometriosis recently, and a lot of the literature suggests cutting sugar and dairy from the diet can really help so I started with my biggest weakness; sugar.  No chocolate, no granola bars, nothing.  At first it was really hard; my body was definitely angry that I ( Read more... )

I have always struggled with the winter. Its cold, dark, and miserable, and always seems to be neverending. My mood is lower, I am slower in smiling and laughing, and quicker to be sad or angry.  I know that I could carry a diagnosis of Seasonal Affective, but as it doesn't overly interfer with my life, and as I have already spent an obscene amount ( Read more... )

Weeks leading up to school vacation are often weeks when major behaviors happen: fights, restraints, not so friendly visits from the police.

Today? Today I got punched in the solar plexus.  Thankfully, by a kid with CP, so not hard enough to even knock the wind out of me.  When I called his mother to ask her to pick him up? Not I'm sorry that my ( Read more... )

Things have been rough.  
Its difficult to make clinically sound recommendations, be ignored, and then have pity when things turn out exactly how you said they would if your advice wasn't followed.  
I am really really looking forward to spending time with my sister and brother this weekend.

I had my second dress fitting today.  It fits like a glove, and I got super excited. I'm getting married! To JP!  And I feel so beautiful in that dress! I feel how I wish that I felt about myself everyday.  And my Sissy finally got to see my dress, and said that she loves it.  Anyone who has ever met Sissy knows that she has NO filter, so I knew ( Read more... )

This, along with Pride & Prejudice are my 2 favorite all time books.  Whenever I am sad or stressed out, I read one of them.  I have both pretty much memorized. P&P for when the world is crazy, and The Secret Garden for when I need the comforts of childhood.

I just finished re-watching, for the 33rd time, the 1993 version of The Secret Garden.  ( Read more... )

So I finally tried my Pilates DVD today.  I like this lady much much better than my old Pilates DVD.  I wanted to punch that other lady in the mouth.  This isn't to say that I love Pilates. No. Its hard. Really hard.  But I think that I will be able to learn to love it.  I could most definitely feel my body burning.  Then I did my Yoga DVD.  I love ( Read more... )
