just a (transplanted) city girl

>I used 12 flex points yesterday. I am going to do better today, I bought some Kashi, I don’t really like them but they are better then eating chips for lunch and toast with butter for dinner. D and I cleaned the cabinet where the microwave used to be, and R D and I are paying for a new one. Now if we could just get a new cabinet! R went to Best Buy and got the microwave, D told me it will be put in tomorrow. I will post more tomorrow.

I was trying to do this from my phone and it wasn’t working. I was also getting lines in the screen when I was trying to go online. I have no idea what is up with that.

I am so tired I don’t know how I will make it the rest of the day. I have two LIW permits to review, sigh, guess I better jump on it.

>and I shouldn’t be. I swept upstairs and the stairs then quit halfway through the living room. It is hard sweeping into that little dust pan with the broom. I couldn’t find the brush that goes with it. Someone was just outside yelling to open the door. They are gone now. I didn’t make it to Ruperd’s this am. I got up late and then I probably should have been getting ready instead of cleaning. I am such a mess sometimes.

>yesterday, as you can see. I didn’t surf with my phone yesterday and I still had battery power at the end of the day. I was very tired last night. I even tried to get a nap in before I had to go to Target. Then I ended up getting there 10 minutes before they closed. So I picked up litter and put new litter in Abby’s box. I didn’t get any cleaning done I was so tired. I am seriously thinking about going out in service but I am afraid. I didn’t read my magazines, I haven’t gone over a presentation so I will not be prepared if I go. Of course if I got off this computer, I would be able to prepare. I could at least eat breakfast. I so want to just curl up under my blanket and sleep.

Well here I am again. I didn’t go out in service, I was running around trying to get the doll together to ship it. Ugh, anyway, that is done. I was going to get lunch, then I realized I should get home and turn the AC on for the animals since it was getting warm. Then I was going to walk to Ron’s to get lunch and Tigger and Gwen started texting me. I finally made it, and Lucy was collected money for Lance Armstrong. When I crossed the street she asked me, Are you Bella? When I said yes she said, Do you remember me? I’m Lucy, and when I said yes, she smiled and asked me to tell M hi for her. I sent M a text message, so far I haven’t got a response from her, but then again, my phone is upstairs right now. So I am going upstairs. I am going to try really hard to study for tomorrow.

>Tigger sent me a text yesterday to send him a text when I got it. Today he hasn’t sent me any texts so I don’t know if I should. I don’t even know if the phone will be charged.

how now brown cow

I hope I got this in the right spot. This is my new phone & it will take some getting used to. I didn’t send a text to Tigger until he sent me one, then I explained my reason, he said that made sense, sort of, then he asks, but I am the first person you sent a text to right? I like the fact that the screen for texts is big and I can read it without squinting.

I have to make a comment on the style of wearing a top to show off your bra straps. I saw someone with a peach tank top, the kind with racer or T back, whatever you call it, and she was wearing a dark gray bra, which I know because the bra had regular over the shoulder straps, there was no way the top would cover them. This was after I saw a girl with the same style but I didn’t think it was that bad because she had those clear straps on. Not something I would wear, but not too bad, then I saw the gray and — GAG –. And I figured out the real reason I don’t want to work out this week, I thought it was because Abigail was meowing and acting lonely and I felt sorry for her. I realized the real reason when I told someone I was thinking about taking a day off work to sit in a quiet house, then it hit me, I don’t want to go to Allsport because it is quiet and calm in the house. And I gave Papuga a piece of pineapple by hand. I will be back because I am going the gym now. BBL

Home from the gym and need to go to bed. Fred sent me a text, Tigger says you are getting the Glide, and I replied, Yeah SO? and he says, I want one! Again I said, Yeah so? This was at the same time Tigger was sending me texts, wanting me to let him call and put the phone on speaker so I could talk to him while driving. Such a sweet boy, he loves it in New Hampshire. He is making me crazy.

>Abigail is indeed a psycho cat. When I went to sleep she was sleeping in her basket. Then I woke up because something landed on me. It was her, only she didn’t settle down to sleep on me, she left, so what did she want, did she just want to see if I was still alive? Well anyway, then at 5 she started playing with the sewer rat. So I have been awake since then. Then Gwen called at 9:00 to make sure I was up, then asked if I fed Abigail. Huh, you think after all these years they would trust me.

I asked Tigger why they don’t think I can take care of the animals and his reply was
“we just pretend we think u cant
we have faith in u”
that was how he wrote it, I copied it exactly. I really should be getting ready for bed . Abigail is sleeping in the basket with the dirty towels. I kind of don’t like the new Verizon ad, but I love the service and their phones. I told Tigger about getting a new phone, I also asked him not to tell everyone, he said I only told Stitch and Fred, that is like telling the whole world! Well, I have to go to bed now. I will be back tomorrow.

>I made it to the train today. Left the same time as yesterday, but today Stitch drove me, which means a. I didn’t have to park, b. I didn’t sit in my car for a minute when I got there. The train was in at 6:16 a.m., two minutes early. I have more to say but I can’t remember and I am at work so I can’t be on here too long.

Allergies, I hate them. I had my allergy shot last night and today I am grumpy and my arm hurts and my throat is scratchy. That did not look right but according to word it is right.

I had typed out another e-mail to send here, but it got lost in my phone. Actually, I haven’t checked my phone to see. BRB.

OK the only thing still in the phone is the subject, but not the body, weird, other body of text are there. I didn’t write down what I was thinking, so I can’t repeat it. It had to do with Tigger getting a ring tone (finally!) and that it is “How to save a life” by the Fray, he likes it because it is loud. I like my Eyore one for the same reason. I am sure there was more to it, but I can’t remember. The subject was Tigger is home, I probably wrote and he just sent me a text to say he got a ringtone!

On the way home I went to the other bathroom in GCT and I don’t like it as much. For one thing, you can’t see all the stalls so you can’t tell when one is available, the other thing is it is much LOUDER then the one I usually go to.

>when my alarm goes off the first time.

I thought I was o.k. with 12 minutes to get here but the train was early, so now I am stuck having to ride the 6:33 crowded express train, I have also had to stand here since 6:18, see I got on the platform in time to see the train leave.

Tigger sent me a text to thank me for the cinnamon, I left it in the gray cabinet with the food, next to the LaffyTaffy. The LaffyTaffy was gone, I am surprised he didn’t say anything about it. I guess he realizes that I eat it too and so I would know when it is gone. The bag of Reisen is not open, I wonder if he forgot about it. It’s not in the gray cabinet it is in my fridge.

He has taken to hugging me when I get home, not a real hug just a kind of arms around but no squeezing. Today he did it while watching T.V.

When I stopped at Target, I was just going to get cat food and toilet paper. I ended up getting the LaffyTaffy, color safe bleach, a game for my GameBoy, a hair removal device called Epi/Slim by Emjoi, popcorn, dishwashing liquid, 6″ rulers, Cottonelle moist wipes. I think that is all, it came to $86. I couldn’t find my debit card though, fortunately, I had enough cash, and after I paid, I found my card in my back pocket.

Now I am going to get some frozen calcium. I am totally addicted to Ron’s Roadrunner Raspberry. It is vanilla ice cream with raspberry swirls and little cups like Reeses cups except with raspberry inside them instead of peanut butter.

Grace, a woman who posts on a WW thread, has dissed Chicago, she said it is not the same band, I am not going to say anything back on the thread because everyone is entitled to their opinion and I do not want to start anything, but here, on my blog, my opinion rules and the girl does not know what she is talking about. Check out their website, click on their name, and you will see.

>I almost didn’t make it, I was feeling very unwell this afternoon, however, since I was driving, I didn’t want to make anyone else leave early so I stuck it out. I actually started to feel better and enjoyed the last talk. I took my MP3 player every day so I could listen to the program through my earphones. I took them off this afternoon because of how my head was feeling, maybe they were causing my headaches.

Pam gave us a copy of Stone of Sisyphus and I just ripped the songs and synced them to my MP3 player. I have a bunch of songs and still have room for more. I love my MP3 player. I should plug my other one in so it charges. I will be up long enough for that. I will just have to stay on the computer so it doesn’t shut down.

Right now I have to take a break from here. I will be back later.

Oh, I feel better now, I am not so gassy and I was able to go to the bathroom normally. I just got back from putting gas in my car and should be trying to go to sleep. I will in a minute. I also just added a website to my blog. It looked interesting so I thought I would do that. I just thought of another website I should add. So go check it out if you are reading.

>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.

>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.
