>Second day – another book!

Filed under: Uncategorized
July 26, 2008

>We got another book today. WOW! Bill gave the talk that was about it. I am just so excited, two books for one convention. This one is called, “Keep Yourselves in God’s Love”.

I was up another pound this morning arg. I know it is just water but it is so frustrating, I am being good too. Well, the dress fit perfect, I was very pleased and got compliments on it. I wore my sassari crocs with it, because of the color of the dress and they looked good. I had to put tape on my little toes later in the day. But that was all I needed.

When we got home, I ate a bag of pretzels. I did not feel like eating. I was so bloated. I didn’t want to go to the gym because I was afraid I would add sound effects to my workout. So Gwen and I walked, at first she said she wanted to walk to the library, then when we got close she said, “Maybe we should just walk to the park.” That is what we did, crossed the street and got a treat from Ron’s and a water bottle and came home. I got ice cream in my hair.

Then Tigger wanted me to drive him around. Since I hadn’t checked Best Buy for the CD holders I want I went up there and he came with me. They didn’t have them, now I do not know where else to look. He looked at some stuff, but he really just wanted to get out of the house. I was going to get gas but I forgot.

Now that I have washed the ice cream out of my hair and braided it, which was not easy with my sore neck/shoulder/arm, cleaned the litter box, made chicken salad for my lunch tomorrow, I should really go to bed. I will talk to you tomorrow.

>First day

>And we got a new book, Questions Young People Ask, Answers That Work Vol. 2.

I went to Booktalk and read the threads, but didn’t post anything. Too tired. Feeling dragged down. I have not looked at the new book yet. I don’t know if I will or if I will read some in Blue Diary. I am not going to type much here, but I have to stay up longer to let my nails dry.

It was probably not a good idea to do my nails on the keyboard. I mean, I don’t know for sure, but nail polish and laptop keyboards probably don’t go well together. It is a good thing I didn’t spill it, but I did for a minute think the polish bottle was going to go sliding off the laptop onto my bed!

Gwen met a new friend today, she is getting quite good at that. I wore the navy skirt and reddish top, tomorrow I wear one of my new dresses, I hope it fits.

This morning I was 140 even. That is up, but I am also having my period. M was wearing an anklet and now I want to get or make one.

Well, I need to go now.

>I am stupid and yet I am blessed

July 24, 2008

>This morning I left a tiny bit late for the train, not so late that I would miss the train but at that iffy time, then I saw the garbage truck, so I turned on Kent thinking I could go behind the high school on the one-way street that connects Kent to Verplanck, except it is one-way going the wrong way. There are no other streets that connect Kent to Verplanck, I know this for a fact now, I only suspected it before. So I wasted precious time, I was still angry when I got to the train station at 6:18, but the train wasn’t there, it didn’t show up until I was halfway across the parking lot so I made it. I was glad because it was crowded and the next train was probably even more crowded.

I am continuing my streak of dropping things on the floor, last night, or this morning, I dropped my tampons all over my bathroom floor.

So Stitch met me at the train station because he was up in Poughkeepsie today. When I got home I parked too close to D’s van and he told me to move my car. I just wish he would say things in a nice way, not in a way that makes me feel like a freaking idiot. So when I came in I was mad and said I’m not hungry and went downstairs, so Tigger send me a message asking how I am and when I said fine he replied, “u seemed slightly perterbed when u were up here”. He is all happy with himself for figuring it out, but its no big deal, I have never been able to hide my feelings. Except from my family, but then they are mostly clueless. Anyway, I then went to the grocery store to get food for tomorrow, now I have to make my lunch, except I forgot to get an icepack and toilet paper. I will have to steal some from M.

Soda bottles

Filed under: Beauty, Cleaning, Environment, Weather
July 23, 2008

I have been taking my soda bottles, you know the empty ones on my desk, I have been taking them two at a time to the recycle bin to get rid of them. I wonder if anyone will notice when they are all gone. Nobody has said anything yet. I get a little thrill, thinking I am sneaking them out without anyone noticing.

This weekend is the D.C. so I am planning on leaving at 2 to get my hair done. I will have to send an e-mail to BE to let him know because STS is not here.

There was something I was going to say about Tigger, but I can’t remember right now, he must have stayed home today because of the rain. It was raining when I left for work.

8-)

It was raining when I got to the salon, and when I left it was a thunderstorm, pouring rain and the sky was being lit up, scary! Through all of this, Tigger was texting me constantly about going to Staples and getting him replacement stylus for his PDA. I told him don’t text me I can’t text and drive in the rain, he thought I could, I told him not when there is lightning and it is a monsoon! Staples had the stylus he wanted but not the stuff I was looking for. I now have to check at Best Buy.

It has been my week for dropping things on the floor. Yesterday the Laffy Taffy, today, I bought a new bookmark at Borders. It is metal with string and ribbons attached and on the strings are beads. I dropped the staples as I was trying to get the bookmark off the card, the staples that attached to the card in the store, then when I put the bookmark in my book, some of the beads came off and went onto the floor. I rescued them, put them back on the string and then used some of my special adhesive to keep them there.

On a positive note, I remember to take Blue Diary with me to the salon so I got some of it read. And I have no gray hair. Just in time for the convention.

Yesterday

Filed under: Beauty, Family N Friends

the train let us off on the old platform. I don’t know why, track work probably. This is the second time this has happened, the other time I was able to sneak up on Stitch. The way M parks when she is waiting, she saw me coming. I also do not know why I didn’t write about this yesterday. Maybe because I was upset about Stitch not returning my car until late.

Today Stitch came to get me, he was a little late and it was raining. Oh well. Tomorrow and Thursday he will not have my car. Friday we go to Newburgh. I am going to the hair place tomorrow to see how much it will be to get my roots touched up.

Tigger came downstairs and as I was going in my room he mentioned that ‘we’ need more Reisen. We do huh? I went to Allsport. I was hoping I could be quick enough to get to Staples before they closed but I didn’t. So I went to Target. I bought that purse I was looking at and it just fits my stuff. Not the perfect purse of course, but close. Then I got some re-writable CDs and a case to put my CDs in, about time, considering Sassy was the one that broke my old one. I also got “honking” big bag of LaffyTaffy and a bag of Reisen. I don’t remember if that is the correct spelling right now I don’t care. I sent Tigger a text that I was at Target, I told him I got CDs and a case to put them in. He said why? I could almost see him thinking, we get downloads from Amazon cheaper, why would she buy CDs? Then I explained they were blank so I could put music on them for my car. I didn’t mention the candy. He didn’t ask, so I had to tell him I got two bags. Then when I was opening the bag to put them in the container, it broke and I ended up with LaffyTaffy all over my floor. As I was scooping them up, all I could smell was the fruitiness of them.

Now I really need to get to bed, I have brushed my teeth, washed my face, taken out my contacts, taken my medicine, I didn’t clean Butterscotch’s litter box. I will do that tomorrow. Since the rain cooled things down, it doesn’t smell so bad tonight. I have some Pepsi points to enter then I will go to bed.

Warm again

Filed under: Family N Friends, Weather
July 21, 2008

And I thought it was going to rain so I went to the store first then here to the park. Listening to Chicago XXX, really like it, don’t know how they keep doing it.

It is warm again today but not as hot as it has been but still humid. Wearing the red dress I got at Kohl’s. Saw some nice purses at Kohl’s online. Not really sure what I am going to do. Stitch drove me to the train station this a.m. Tigger is supposed to go out. I have decided not to return phone calls because I am tired of getting yelled at.

It is 8:37 p.m. and Stitch just got in with my car. I wanted to go to Target but now I don’t know. I asked Tigger to do something with my computer and he didn’t. He had an upsetting day I know. But, I can’t do it! So I am sitting here wondering if I should go up to Target or not, should ask Tigger to help me again, or just try to do it myself. I am totally undecided. I wish my room was cooler.

Because it is so hard to think when I am hot! Anyway, Tigger came downstairs, when I asked him why he said, Well, I need to fix your computer right? Then he says, I also want an album. He has graduated from songs to whole albums. So, I downloaded an album for him. All with Pepsi points. I also put the two Chicago albums I bought on Em’s MP3 player for her, and burned them to a CD so I could play them in my car.

Party for Bob

Filed under: Family N Friends, Health
July 20, 2008

And I cut out early, head was starting to hurt, actually, it was hurting most of the day, I couldn’t get it to stop, so now I am home and my head no longer hurts. Hmmm. So M is at Pam’s and Stitch and Gwen are home with me. I was thinking about going to Target to look at that purse again, but I think I will look on-line. Maybe find a bargain on E-Bay or Amazon. I took a picture of my Crocs to post on the Yahoo group site.

Yesterday before M had to get D at the airport we went shopping. Couldn’t really do a lot though. Gwen wanted some white tank tops to wear under her shirts and she needed some new bras. She didn’t know the size though, so we couldn’t just pick them up, she had to come with us and try them on. She got a couple of nice ones at Kohls. I got a long slip to replace the one I can’t find. It will turn up now I am sure. I got beige so when it does, I will have a white one and a beige one. I also got a pretty cotton nightgown and a red dress. Not exactly suitable for meetings but I wore it to the party for Bob, it is high enough neckline and long enough, but the shoulders are too bare for the meetings. It’s a baby doll style dress. I like it because it has no waistline so you can’t tell that I don’t have one. Now I have to go check the WW thread and then I think I am going to take a nap or do some online shopping.

Missed it

Filed under: Emotions, Family N Friends, Uncategorized
July 19, 2008

Missed posting every day by 53 minutes. When I tried earlier the Wi-fi was not working. I know I could have sent an e-mail, like I do at work but I just didn’t feel like it. Had a bad day, not the whole day, but you know how one upsetting thing can ruin your whole day? That’s what happened to me. Except I had two things happen, it was only when the second thing made me cry that I realized how upset I was about the first thing.

The second thing was I got yelled at. Not in person, over the phone, that was when I realized my best friend would rather spend time with someone else than with me, so does that mean we are not best friends anymore? I don’t know and I am trying to convince myself that it doesn’t, that we are still best friends, but I can’t ask her about it, so maybe we aren’t. My stomach is all tied up in knots now. I wish I had some beer or vodka or anything.

I almost

Filed under: Uncategorized
July 18, 2008

slid off the journaling. I said slid instead of fell because slid is kind of passive, more passive than fell. You have to do something to fall, but to slide you can be sitting and just not stop yourself. Except I did stop myself, I was tired, so tired, and I asked myself, why do you have to write down your breakfast? You eat the same breakfast every morning, oatmeal and fruit, then I answered myself, because when you journaled before you lost 15 pounds. Weight that you gained back when you stopped journaling. This morning I was 138.8 pounds.

New shoes are killers. Here is a sneak peak at my new crocs, in my bag since I don’t want to wear them to and from work. Reason is this is day 2 I have worn them. I have a bandaid on my right foot under my big toe and first aid tape around my little toe. Left foot is doing ok so far. That was working until I went to lunch and put my Cleo crocs on, they messed the bandaid up so now there is a piece of first aid tape over the bandaid. I will get these broken in before July 23rd. Now my left little toe is saying it hurts.

My tummy is not very happy, if I have to run to the bathroom like I did at Target last night(we have had this discussion about something that happens to me and when I am in a public bathroom I hate it), I am going home. No joke.

I did not come home early. But I didn’t do anything when I got home. I just sat on my bed and read the second book I got last night. Now I have to go to bed.
