I'm blogging via phone

It sucks. But I honestly can't find a spare minute.

I see now how people just drop out of the bloggy world. Life gets in the way.

Work is busy and aggravating and challenging. I'm grateful that I have job. But I'm sick of griping about it.

The hubby's work is even worse.

Talk about dumb stress.

I did pay someone to clean my house yesterday. And it made me incredibly happy to come home to a clean house.

The nana is crazy! Yes still. She asked me if I've enjoyed ignoring her for 2 weeks. And I let her have it. Like "it" IT.

I explained that my job has been hell. She doesn't get it.

G is cute and satan's spawn all at the same time.


I seriously watched this show called I'm pregnant and a stripper. It was KA-razy.

Like she had a male stripper at her baby shower.

I'm done rambling.

Miss your face.

Crazy Times.

My coworker got fired because of the terrible awful. She had worked here 18 years and now just gone. It's a sad confusing upsetting time.

I'm still waiting on my punishment. While I didn't DO the terrible awful, I was her boss and should've known it was no good.

I'm working today - even though our business is closed because of MLK. I worked yesterday.

I will be working lots and lots until we hire someone or something.

I'm bummed. I love SO MUCH about my job. SO MUCH.

Then there's big looming shadow over me. I wonder when it's going to be ME that gets fired. ME that is devastated.

I've mentioned it before but I still think the big looming shadow is out to get me. It's just a matter of time.

So do I take preemptive measures and find another job where I'm needed and WANTED.

Or do I suck dry every single perk of this job until I'm kicked out.

Let me explain the perks.
13 paid holidays
12 personal days
3 weeks vacation
overtime only at fair
good coworkers
flexibility (for G issues)
less than a mile from G
no travel
kick ass retirement

The not perks
Stress.
The waiting to be fired.
maxed out salary (no raises)
The looming shadow
the culture of the company

This is no good.

I've been doing a lot of de-stressing.

Maybe too much de-stressing. I kinda made myself sick polishing off a bottle of wine by myself.

Current weight: 241.2
Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: +0.2

boo whore.

I've been sparkling on spark people. but totally hit and miss with the whole "tracking" thing. I would just kinda imagine the calories I was eating and go with it.

AND it's been the most stressful week ever. like ever. So I've drank a LOT of calories in wine form. A LOT.

AND it's friday the 13th so that totally has SOMETHING to do with it.

And next week I'll be broken. Or as Chris has started referring to it "Shark Week"
So there ya go. maybe next week will be better.

Change is coming

Lots of stuff has been going on with my job. I feel like the only time I write about work is when I'm anxious or upset. And that seems to be hitting home more often.

I still don't know what's going to happen with the error I made - I've been referring to it as the terrible awful in my head.

The terrible awful is weighing me down.

Sometimes I don't even know why I blog. I'm not a good writer. I haven't been good at nourishing those friendships I've made along the way.

I post less and less and less....

And then I don't know what to say. I take less pictures. I do less things. I honestly just try to make it through the day. And who wants to hear about my daily grind, when you are trying to make it through your own day?

There are a million things unsaid. Unsaid because I don't even know who reads these words anymore.

And a video of G singing, because he is just THAT cute. And just because.

Days like these

There are days when I wish I didn't have to make important decisions.

Where I didn't have a career.

Where I didn't screw something up.

Days when I wish I had a private blog so I could rant and rave and bitch and moan.

Where all I have to do is sleep as late as G will let me.

And my biggest decision is what's for lunch.

Days that are light
and my shoulders don't feel so heavy.

This day I feel like I'm balancing on a high wire.

I feel like every word I say or type has me off balance. That every ... is heavy.

A date. sorta

I went on a date with my husband. G went to Mimi's and played with his almost 3-yr old cousin ALL DAY Saturday.

And was completely spoiled by it. On Sunday - he kept making me play with him. Like it's the NEW THING.

"Look for clues with me"
"fight bad guys with me"
"quit reading People and get off your lazy ass and entertain me, dammit"
(ok he didn't say that but we was thinking it)

Anyway - a date. With just Chris and I. for HOURS.

We saw The Devil Inside - it sucked ass.
We shopped at the mall - I got a new purse. Woot.
We ate.

Then we got confused about what to do next. That's all we know - movie, shop, eat.

We ended up at the casino. We each had $20. Chris walked out with none and I walked out with $20.01 - I'm awesome like that.

We discussed what we would do during a zombie apocolypse. I decided that I'm not gonna make it. We'd have to grow our own food. And eat out of cans. And no Wi-Fi.

I rely too much on the Man. I like the Man. The Man keeps me happy. The Man has Pei Wei.

Fat Ass Friday 1.6.2012


copy/paste to grab my button:
Starting weight: 241.0
Last week's weight:
Current weight: 241.0
Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week:
Total weight lost: -



I'm starting completely over. New Year - New Goal.

I joined Sparkpeople. Is that one word or two?

Anyway it's supposed to be like a super popular fitness/weight loss site. and FREE. woot.

I did weight watchers last year and it seems that unless I ACTUALLY pay and go to meetings - I stop doing it.

But Spark people is gonna be my new thing. Like I'm gonna be all over its business.

When I figure out what the hell I'm doing.

I watched like 47 videos and they said things. But since they were not as interesting as Vampire Diaries, I was pretty much like whatevs.

Did you know there were 22 episodes in each season of Vampire Diaries? 22! I feel like I hit the netflix jackpot.

Ahem - Sparkpeople. I'll let you know.

I also went to a NEW zumba class BY MYSELF. I didn't know anyone. Or where to go or what it would be like. But I went. And it was awesome.

It's at the YMCA that is 5 mintues away from my house. I left my house at 5:20 and was home by 6:35. Definitely the best part.

My other zumba class was 20-25 mintues away. So with class and travel time - it was taking 2 hours to go.

I looked at the other classes that this YMCA offers and it seems pretty cool - I really really want to join. It's $42/month for me or $72/month for family. I want Chris to join too.

So I don't know if y'all wanna linky it up again or what but here ya go. LOVE your FAF faces.

Yo!

In the spirit of blogging - I thought I should actually blog.

Peel and stick nails. It was super easy to do but i ended up picking them off within a week.


I actually sewed a curtain for G's room. I will probably sew the other one next month.


We had a spontaneous new years eve party with 3 other couples. It was a blast. We Karaoked.

And G and his friend stayed up until 1. crazy-ness.



Grayson says bad words. Too much. We are working on it.

Bad word conversations - F stands for the ACTUAL word

G: The TVs not doing anything.
G: F-in TV

G: Where's my binky?
G: Where my binky go?
G: Where's my F-ing binky?
(I'm pretty sure if he can say F-ing binky - he shouldn't have one)

Scenario - stuck in traffic looking at Christmas lights
G: What the hell is going on here?

Secretly - I think it's hilarious. I don't let him know that. But now that he's doing it at school - not so funny.
