>Last night before I left work I made some tea and put it in my travel cup, worked out pretty good. This morning I had to take my car in so I made some tea (PG Tipps) and had that while I took it in and walked home. Later I got a call from the dealer, the transmission fluid needs to be changed and the serpentine belt needs to be changed. That’s the belt that controls the power steering. So I told them do the fluid change, I will bring it back for the other. Can’t afford to do both at the same time. Now I wish I hadn’t ordered those bras from Victoria’s Secret.

Tigger and I took the purple table out of my computer room last night. It was a good thing I complained that I couldn’t do it alone and he helped me because we had to move my fridge and take the table apart. I am also glad I swept and mopped the floor last night because the new (to me) blue table is already in there. Of course my work is not done, the blue table has been sitting around so long it is covered with dust and cobwebs and needs to be cleaned before anything can go on it. Also, the blue table wouldn’t fit in there with the brown rolling cart, so I need to take everything out of there and put it somewhere.

So why am I sitting here instead of doing it? Well, because D is moving stuff from his workroom to the new shed and I can’t go in and out of room so I can move stuff from the rolling cart to wherever I am putting it. Although I could be in the room cleaning the table off, but this is more fun. Also, I am all congested from the cleaning I did last night and I really don’t want to do it unless I have a dust mask.

This morning it was chilly when I went to the dealer with my car so I wore a sweat suit and pants. I just had to change them because now it is quite sunny.

>on the message boards then I remembered it’s Yom Kippur. Kids off from school mean mom’s are busy so are not posting, or kids are hogging the computer.

Anyway, my phone came yesterday and I was up late activating it and checking it out. It seems to be working much better then the old one. Of course now I don’t have any of my appointments or custom ringtones. I repurchased one of them so nothing better happen with this phone.

I think I might be coming down with a cold. I am stuffed up and you know how some people get cold sores on their lips? Well I get these sores inside my nose when I get a cold. My poor nose really hurts. I am going to have to remember my Neti pot tonight.

The neti pot is really helping me breath now. Although my nose is still a little itchy and sore. I also took my peppermint so hopefully my tummy will feel better tomorrow. I really should be going to bed. I partook in some retail therapy. I am not posting pictures of what I bought, I will just say I got them from Victoria’s Secret.

>instead of my usual I got a panini. It was good but I have a feeling I will regret it.

I don’t know why I didn’t say this last night but D forgot to come get me last night. I started walking, then decided walking home cause I was mad was not a good use of my time so I called him. Now he says to send him a text to remind him when he is supposed to come get me. Then later he says something like, if you are still seriously thinking about moving to … Still! I’ve only been thinking about it for three years! He was thinking about using my room for an office, he also offered to make me a futon which would be nice but might be unnecessary. Some of the apartments have murphy beds.

I was right about the nessi pot, she was talking about a ‘neti’ pot.

As expected I now have a stomach ache and I had to use my inhaler. Probably from the mustard, or maybe because the panini I had was next to the tuna panini, might have been some cross contamination going on there.Anyway my legs are shaking and I am having chills from the albuteral.This is what I should think of when I want somthing I shouldn’t have, how icky I feel after, even getting my fingers to work on this keyboard is hard. Ok, gotta go now.

This evening has not improved my mood. I wanted to leave early but I had to do something for the boss and it took me until 4:20. Then when I was at the subway, the subway that came in was packed! I was trying to get in and people kept bumping and pushing me, so I just stepped back, I was a little miffed. My claustrophobia had gotten the better of me. It turned out ok, the next train got in a minute after and not only was it not crowded, there were seats available! So I got to sit to GCT.

On the Metro North train I was also able to find a seat facing forward. This woman came to sit with me and she was ugh, bigger than Em. Then she fell asleep and started leaning toward me, soon she was not really leaning on me, but touching. I did not get any reading done.

I had to go get Gwen so no Allsport tonight. I could have gone if I rushed, but after all that happened today and Em asked me to put the food away so I didn’t just went up to get Gwen. Then she fell getting in the car! Then she started sniffing. She never said anything, but I think she sort of blamed me. Anyway, I just have to take a shower and then this day will be over.

>Weight Watchers Progress

>I keep forgetting to do this. My weight is 136.6 lbs. In the 14 weeks since I recommitted I have lost 5.2 pounds. That is an average of 0.4 per week. I am 4.6 pounds heavier then when I first joined WW. It may not seem like a lot, but since I only have about twenty pounds to lose it is a lot to me and as someone said, I am going in the right direction now.

On another totally unrelated subject, when I was looking up tea at Amazon, and saw that PG Tips was $8 for a box, I decided that I would try to find PG Tips locally and if it wasn’t too expensive buy it. Hannaford’s had it, I wasn’t too surprised by that, and even though it was twice the price of the tea I normally buy, it was actually less then Twinings. It comes in these cute triangle bags, well actually they are a pyramid, no string but the bag came to the top of the water so I could grab it with my fingers. As for the taste, mmm I love tea.

Tonight when I was trying to make a cup with dinner, the pot kept turning off but the water wasn’t boiled, Fred was turning it off, he thought it was turning on by itself! Such a silly boy. Now I have to go get Gwen. I will be back later.

>I am sitting here in the cold under my blankets while typing this. I am a silly girl, ’cause if I just stood up I could close my window and I wouldn’t be so cold. However I would rather just sit here and try to warm up with a blanket and warm laptop on my lap! I don’t think that is what the laptop computer was designed for.

Tigger was sending me texts, except they were blank. I answered and asked why, no answer just another blank text. So I finally said, “You’re texts are all blank.” I’m not answering any more, I got another blank text then a “Sry about that”. He must have had it in is pocket instead of the holder and the send button kept getting pushed or something like that.

There is an update for my phone that I need to get installed but I forgot to go to Verizon yesterday and get it done. I will try to remember to do that today. I ordered a book from the library but I don’t think it is in yet. I need to go there too to pay my fine so I will ask them about it.

Right now I need to sweep and mop, except it is almost time to get ready for church. Don’t want to be late again. I will be back later.

I didn’t make it to the library, I did get to Verizon but they couldn’t install the update so I am getting a new phone. I am trying to talk myself into going to Allsport. It should be easy since the alternative is sitting here listening to D yell at the kids while he is building the shed. I guess T never showed up to help. I get really annoyed at people who say they will do something then just don’t show up. Well, it’s not really my business. I really feel like going to Border’s after I work out. I really shouldn’t ’cause I don’t need books and I should be saving my money. Gwen yelled at Tigger this morning for asking me for cinnamon gum. Told him not to ask me for things, I have to save my money for my move.

>I Love Tea

>and I have to agree with ‘BOOW‘ that Lipton is rubbish. Actually I think he said that ALL American tea is rubbish.

Have I ever said that I like the way the British use the word ‘rubbish’? They use it for lots of things, not just when they are talking about trash. Also, I like the way my mouth feels when you say it, my lips smack together on the b’s.

Back to tea, I was going to try a British tea so I went to Amazon and ‘GASP’ $8.00+ for a box of tea?! Well, I’m American so I think I can be forgiven for sticking with Twinings. Besides I can buy Twinings loose. The loose tea is what is in the jar, which is actually an olive jar. I kept spilling the tea when I was wrestling with the tin it came in. These little jars are quite handy, I use one as a little bank on my desk at work.

Got these dollar coins when I bought M’s train ticket. I noticed there was no date on them. The date is on the edge of the coin. Date, ‘E pluribus unum’, and ‘In God We Trust’. Pretty cool huh? And speaking of coins, I just brought home a bunch in a ziploc baggie. I need to roll them so I can cash them in.

>Ah, new eyes

>I put in my new contacts this morning. I can actually feel the difference. Yesterday I finally called Lancôme to make an appointment for facials for Em & I. Ended up just she is getting a facial which is fine cause I really didn’t want one.

I saw a patch

of blue sky and now it is gone all I can see now are gray clouds. All I can smell is Fritos but for some reason they smell like corn nuts, I think I can smell aftershave or men’s cologne. Maybe it is the combination of smells.

We are the express train we are going fast, whoosh we just passed the local, whoosh we just passed Philipse Manor.

On another blog I was reading someone recommended a cold sufferer to use a ‘Nessi Pot’, she asked what is an Nessi Pot? I responded that I didn’t know what a Nessi Pot is but I use a Neti Pot and would post a picture of it on here. As you can see, I took two pictures.

This is used to rinse or cleanse your sinuses by pouring saline solution through your nose. The first few times I did it I didn’t do it right. Then I figured out how to use it. The first time I used it correctly, I thought I was going to DIE! Now that I have gotten a little better at it, I love it, it is great for cold and allergies, really helps me breathe better when I get stuffed up. Dr. Sharma recommends it too.

>I am still sticking to my goal of posting everyday. I kept forgetting today to send an e-mail to myself, I mean I sent the Salada tagline, but that’s not really a post. Also, I noticed that as soon as I mentioned the number of people reading my blog everyday, it dropped. SIGH

Today was kind of busy at work. People were bugging me about stuff all day, and I don’t think they even knew what they were talking about. I wish they would realize that I don’t really care and leave me alone.

Em was sending me E-mails all day, and Tigger started texting me when he got out of school, that is until he started doing his physics homework. He was asking Stitch to help him. And Stitch needs to do his paperwork for subbing so he can get a job and start paying for gas.

After work Em and I went to Allsport. I told her having Stitch take my car helps me work out, because I think, “Oh Em waited for me to get home before she went to work out so I have to go.”

My eyes are really bugging me and so I need to go put some drops in. Before I do that, I am going to put in some more taglines. And the Powerful Women’s Motto: “Live your life in such a manner that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says. ‘OH shit she’s awake!!'”

I’m the IT girl and I think its a bad thing

Filed under: Miscellanea
September 30, 2008

or maybe I am being a freak and shouldn’t care. I don’t even know what it means to be the IT girl. It might be a good thing, but I don’t think so cause no one wants to be IT. I think it means if you are IT, you are hot stuff or you are always wrong so in my case it means I am always wrong, should be used to it by now but it still stings.

Gwen was sick so she came home from class early so I didn’t have to go get her. She found out about my move and wanted to know why she was the last to know. I didn’t say, but isn’t she always? I told her that at first, the boys thought we were joking, so that is why they didn’t tell her. But I am not joking, I just hope nothing happens to totally muck it up.

Someone who’s blog I read on a regular basis had a major problem with her laptop and had to reinstall the hard drive so has lost everything that was on her computer. She mentioned today the she had 500 pictures. It reminded me that I haven’t put any pictures on my hard drive in a while, so I quickly got it and put the pictures on. Fortunately there was still enough room. I didn’t put my ‘phone’ pictures on because those are all on Picassa. So now my pictures are safe. What else matters?

>lots of little stuff

September 29, 2008

>I am going to have a lot of things to put together when I get home but I keep thinking of things, as Tigger would say, I am having random thoughts. Like my windshield wipers don’t slap they click, I noticed that when I was driving yesterday, ‘click’ the wipers go up and down ‘click’, ‘click’ the wipers go up and down ‘click’. And I was up so late last night. First I was updating my pictures in Picasa then when I made my last trip to the toilet I saw the washer and remembered I needed to hang my wet clothes up which meant I had to put my dry clothes away got that done then went to bed. Then this morning I had my makeup case in my hand to put in my backpack for work but when I got on the train it wasn’t in there, so now I have naked eyes. Don’t look at me!

And now before I go to bed I have to address this book I sold so I can mail it tomorrow. Instead of doing that I am playing with my MP3 player. I think I messed it up and will need to replace it. I have no idea what I did or how to fix it.

Also, people are reading my blog! I got a counter and it goes up by ten everyday. Now I know some of those are mine, I also know I don’t check my blog 10 times per day! So now I am going to finish up some things, then I am going to bed.

Oh and I am such a dummy! I copied the songs on my MP3 player to my computer, re-synced them and the problem was still there. I started playing around with the player and went into settings, there it was, I hit on playback range, it had been changed to Selected Range instead of All Range. And here I deleted my playlists for nothing!
