Is it a Happy Valentine's Day?  Hmm, the jury is still out.  SD out of town on business.  Thought I would get flowers at the office.  Didn't.  It sucks - no one has ever sent me flowers before.  Not on Valentine's Day.  Not ever.  I play it off like "oh I don't even like flowers" but damn, I thought since this was a new relationship and all I would ( Read more... )

So I started a diet yesterday.  It's my very own adaptation of the Special K diet.  I eat yogurt for breakfast, Cheerios plus 2% milk for lunch plus a banana and try to keep it generally healthy for dinner.  I was going to get some Special K and try their diet which claims you will lose a jeans size in a month or something, but I don't think I've ( Read more... )

Noah is our cat.  She's so adorable.  We took her home from the shelter and she didn't even make a noise.  I was scared something was wrong with her but then realized she had fallen asleep in her little box!  So cute!  At home, though, she's loud and she loves attention.  She purrs all the time.  If you're napping, she will sleep on your head.  If ( Read more... )

In case you haven't noticed, I've been experimenting with new user pics lately to differentiate some of the posts.  But I found a new one that I think kinda encapsulates how I'm feeling lately....Joey and Pacey on the True Love from Dawson's Creek.  Oh to be Joey back then...two guys vying for her affection.  One the best friend and "soul mate" who ( Read more... )

is friggen hard when you're also trying to quit smoking.  I think I'm down 4 pounds from last week though, which is good.  I don't know for sure because I dont' remember what I was wearing the first time I weighed myself.  SD has a scale and I've never had daily access to a scale.  Either way, I've lost at least a pound or two and hopefully can ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday to me!

Birthdays are always kinda a let down to me.  It's not soclose to Christmas but I always somehow end up getting ripped off.  Case in point, my mother sent me a matching bed skirt to the sheet set she got me for Christmas.  Knowing her, she just forgot to give me it for Christmas.  Big let down.  I mean, I know she doesn't have ( Read more... )

So it's a new year and not much has changed.  Still broke.  Still not with X.  Still misunderstood by my family.  Still not an awesome roller girl.  But things aren't all bad.  Work is going well and I'm becoming more motivated about making some positive changes - quitting smoking, getting in better shape, saving $ for my trip, etc ( Read more... )

Christmas was good and stuff.  My sister made me cry because she said I was fat and better off when I was with X.  Perfect.  She also said she was paying a lot of $ for wedding photography and hopes I don't ruin the pictures.  Friggen lovely.  Her gifts to me were a monogrammed bottle opener (thanks) and a book on how to be a bridesmaid (super ( Read more... )

And I am chock full of the Christmas spirit.  Sure, I'm broke as a joke but my family is going to have GOOD PRESENTS this year.  I always try to get them nice stuff of course, but this year, I think I've outdone myself.  Last year I was so caught up in buying X gifts that my holiday shopping focus was lost.  By the by, he claims to have gotten me a ( Read more... )
