one of my favorite reads is closing up her blog for good. 

  how sad. 

Another of my favorite reads closed his blog a little while ago.

  even more sad

All the good Xanga-folk are slowly moving on.  I can't blame them for wanting to live their life out loud, rather than in text form . . . but I'm going to miss living vicariously through them. 

R visted this weekend.  We had a great time.   Its nice to have someone to spend time with . .  I try to kid myself and say "I love being alone all the time!" . . but I am just kidding myself.  I do enjoy some of my alone moments . . but I enjoy spending time with someone more. 

We went to the auto show this weekend.  It was pretty dissapointing.  There were hardly any concept cars there, and half of the cars I wanted to get in werent even there!

there was a *very* yummy viper there though.  I took a pic w/ my phone. *grin* 

I love vipers.  I'm such a sports car girl.  The lower and the faster looking, the sexier the car is.  R thinks I'm nuts.    can't blame him there.  but still.  Yummy!

Saw the movie Wild Hogs.  Definitely worth a chuckle or two.  We had a great time. 

Work is insane . . more insane than usual with my co-worker out on vacay.  So I better get back to it.

after some advil.

adios!

*  Witch Hazel + Vitamin E =
*  Bills.  bills are going to kill me.  chew me up, and spit me out.
*  With no supervision . . I tend to flake out and be less productive
*  This is evident in my closets.  (read - NIGHTMARE)
*  I need more time
*  I need to pick up my crochet again
*  And photography.  Where did all my photography go? 
*  Winter needs to end NOW.  I feel so . . drained.
*  Washed out
*  Just like the sky
*  I think this is where my photography went.  Eaten by the grey monster that is the sky.
*  R this weekend
*  And the car show
*  And a movie. 
*  And some  . . . uh . . *cough* well g'night all!

I had a pretty nice weekend.

But OY what a morning.  This Monday is going to be a great one . . I can already freakin tell. 

I'm in quite some pain this morning. 

I
got up around 4:45 because my back was really bothering me (I have some
weird muscle thing in my mid back . . I'm working on strengthening them
. . but until I lose weight and part of my anatomy gets smaller . . I'm
going to have to deal with this) . . .
so I put my back wrap in
the microwave and made myself a cup of tea.  Grabbed the back wrap and
slung it on . . poured myself some orange juice as well (one serving of
fruit!  not from conenctrate!) 

So I have tea in one hand, OJ
in the other . . and w/o knowing it . . a cat RIGHT behind me.  I
accidentally stepped on her, tripped trying to NOT step on her . .
sloshed my oj everywhere . . oh yeah . . and covered half my face in
boiling tea water. 

OUCH.

I can see out of my eye . . .
and I don't look puffy or bubbly or anything (ew) . . so I think I'm
ok.  It just STINGS like a m-fer.  I need to go find some witch hazel
or something.  My left hand and the left side of my face are not happy
campers today.  I've been holding a washcloth soaked in really cold
water to my face.  That helps.  until I take it away. *LOL*  which I
have to do to see (so I can put my glasses on)  *lol* 

what a mess.  what a clutz!  damn cat!  *lol*  Course she came out of this completely unscathed.  of course.

I'm going to go take some advil and re-cool my wash cloth.  later taters.

Had to deal with the drama and theatrics of a fired co-worker today.

It amazes me the things that people think they can get away with.  Case in point . .

said co-worker blamed me (many months ago) for lying on the job.  Basically, it was because she felt silly for overlooking something . . and instead of saying "oops my bad!' . . she decided to point fingers to make herself look better.  That said finger pointed right at me. 

Well . . seems that silly little co-worker wasn't aware that emails sent from one company computer to another, using the companies email software. . .  were monitored. 

hmm.  poetic justice my friends.   

We got entertainment this afternoon as said co-worker came to retrieve her things . . and put on quite a show for all of us.  I'm surprised they let it continue on for as long as they did. 

I believe this marks a nice weight lifted off of my shoulders this coming monday. 

happy weekend all.   I'll try to do something unexpected this weekend. 
like.

blog?!?! 

It's still snowing. 

Ugh.

I got home today . . . and found a snow drift.

IN MY HOUSE.

!!!!

Oh yeah . . my gas bill was almost 400 dollars too. 

My landlord is going to get a pretty little flowered note.  With not so pretty little flowered words on it.   He has until the end of this coming summer to replace the windows and doors in this apartment . . . or I'm moving out. 

I know . . some of you are aware that I just moved in here the first of September. 

yeah well . . there is no WAY.  no way I'm staying here if he doesn't fix it.  I'll find something better.  watch me. 

grrrrr

I Lost

I know I have another blog totally dedicated to this . . but I feel the need to post this here too. 

What is society DOING to people?  I mean really?  I have been through hundreds of weightloss blogs.  "Ana" this and "purging" that . . only eating 400 calories a day, and then going to the gym and beating the crap out of themselves.  They are all going to die at the age of 30. 

I wish girls would stop worrying about how people think they look . . and EDUCATE themselves.  It'd be much more worth their time.  Rather than being 150 lbs and thinking you are fat.  -=shaking head=-  I know, I've spent my fair share of my life whining to myself that I want to be "skinny".  But really?  I just want to be healthy.  Not stupid. 

Adipose cells (fat cells) are funky little things.  When you grow, they start out as these super skinny things, like so:  |  .  then as you grow and gain weight, they start to look like this  ()  . 
Now . . these cells can only multiply when they are in their 'new' state . . or this shape:  |  .  When you lose weight correctly .. those cells shrink down slowly . . and get very close to that original form, but never quite reach it. 
*but* . . when you lose weight quickly, or the unhealthy way . . they zip right back down to that original size.  And guess what. . . those suckers start to multiply like crazy. 
So now, you not only have TWICE the amount of fat cells that you did before . . now those super number of fat cells all start sucking in everything that you put in your body.  And *thats* why when you go on a fad diet and lose weight . . you gain MORE weight back.  Cause you've now earned yourself a brand new addition to your fat cell family. 

so girls . . if any of you read this . . STOP starving yourself.  don't let society tell you you're fat.  You're NOT.  You are BEAUTIFUL . . and screw anyone who doesn't think so.  They aren't worth your time.
