just a (transplanted) city girl

>but the same old me. I found this template. not exactly what i wanted and kind of hard to edit my posts, can’t have a picture on the header, lost some things: my i.q. (Well not my actual iq just the box with it in it) my list of concerts plays etc (not a big deal) and my list of books read (have in a spreadsheet, replaceable) and a couple of widgets. I will replace some as I get them. But what do u think of the new me?

>Here I am at Panera just waiting until it is a little bit later so I can walk across Route 9(gulp) for my training. I had an egg soufflé and a cup of tea and re-wrote my review on The Surgeon and added reviews of my own to The Apprentice and The Sinner.

The Sinner actually had two separate crimes. I wonder if I should edit my review. Well it will have to be later since I need to get going. I will be back later after training and the meeting probably.

The Gulp was walking across 9D, not for the training. I went in and re-wrote some of my reviews. I don’t remember if I added the part about the separate crime. I have been tweaking my blog, changing the font all over it. Now if I could only figure out where to get a template with 3 columns.

>Training today and what a fiasco! They had the wrong hotel name, the wrong address, I was driving around for an hour before I got the right information, and then it was on my cell phone so I couldn’t get the address so had to drive around some more! I came home for lunch, one good thing about where we are having the training, close enough to come home for lunch. I better eat something before I have to head back.

>Still not feeling great so I stayed home today. Well not actually home, I had to get envelopes because I sold a book and had to mail it. Gwen wanted to come with me so we ended up getting lunch etc then when we got home I decided to do some weeding, then I had to come inside and rest. Now I am watching NCIS and waiting for my battery to wear down.

>I had a sore throat and painful sinus pressure since last night. I am also having chills, I took my temperature and it was 101.3° F.

So I am going to bed now.

>People are reading my blog! And here I thought I was rambling on to myself. I was supposed to go to Bible Study this morning and as you can tell, because I am posting here, I did not make it. So I am just sitting around until 9:50 because I have to go to the library and it opens at 10:00. Then I don’t know what I’ll do.

The peppermint is working, so I am starting to feel better, but first my system has to, um, get rid of things? er, cleanse itself? Anyway, that’s what was happening when I should have been leaving this morning.

I just remembered I have to go to Target, my broom handle has disappeared so I have to buy a new broom and some cat litter and some hand soap. So now I know what I’ll be doing after the library. If it is not busy, which it shouldn’t be if I get there at 10, I will probably go online there and see what’s going on.

So here I am at the library and it is not quiet and relaxing like I hoped it would be. There are little kids here making noise and their parents are not impressing on them the need to be QUIET at the library, apart from the occasional loudly whispered, “SHUT UP!” Across from me at the other public computer is a little boy, with a constant stream of chatter with his computer and his older sister (?) clearly annoyed with him.

>but I’m not so we’ll leave it at that. I was going to make the title of this post ‘I wish I was organised’ so I could get more done in the morning then I realised I was organised, what I needed to do was get up in the morning. Today I remembered my sunglasses and of course it is a cloudy day. Not much else to report.

I have figured it out, It was the baby spinach that was giving me the bad tummy ache. Now I am seriously bummed. I don’t care for the other greens and the romaine is very expensive. I have been taking my peppermint daily so maybe that will help. If it doesn’t I may try some Bean-o.

M and I went to the gym when I got home. She waited for me because she thought I had asked her to go, I was just telling her what I was doing. It was O.K. I mean better then O.K. Then we went to the store, I went to A.C. Moore to see if they had any supplies I could use for making her ankle chain, but they didn’t, she went to Stop N Shop for food.

I ordered these two dresses today from Chadwicks. The longer one in a size 4 and the shorter one in a size 6. They look like styles I will still be able to wear when I lose more weight.

>and I do not remember them. The day started with me missing the 6:44 so I had to take the 7:05. At least the 7 train was running. But I had to go to the post office to mail the book I sold, so I was really late.

M has been sending me e-mails about going to Manhattan. We are talking about on the first of November to go down. I have decided to put $50 a paycheck into my other account for going to Manhattan and as a kind of savings.

So anyway, I was planning to go the meeting with Stitch, but his sinuses are bother him so I didn’t go. I am so tired but I have to go get cash and I feel like getting something yummy at Borders, I will have to leave soon if I want to do that.

Cookie is going to send me Dexter and I am sending her Nelson. She insists on only 1 book back in trade. That is fine with me.

Well, home now and getting ready for bed. I was late to Borders so I had to go to Barnes & Noble. I kept looking at this cake, but I was good and just got a fat free latte. I think it helped the size of the woman in front of me and the size of the woman behind the register. Kept thinking, I don’t want to end up like that. I don’t think that makes me a horrid person.

So now I am going to e-mail my reviews so I can post them tomorrow.

>what i was going to say. Gwen was mad at me last night but has gotten over it. I sold another book but didn’t pack it up last night so I must do that tonight. Today while going to lunch I saw a pepto bismal pinker sports car . The 7 train was not running this am. I think that is all.

Bella >^..^<

I did not get the pretzels, you have to use tongs and with people around, I did not want to use them. I went to Allsport, Gwen had a panic attack and called me to come get her, of course, since I was in the Fitness Center my phone was off. We stopped at Target, her way of making up to me was letting me do my errand that I cut short to go get her. On the car next to us was a praying Mantis. We watched it until it flew away.

Pretty cool huh?
