So here is my list before this storm hits full blast:

• An evening walk to the snow cone place with the hubby
• Hubby walked “on the outside” of me *swoon* (Flight of the Conchord reference here)
• Sugar Free Tiger’s Blood snow cone with extra gummy bears
• My desk at work is clean
• Guacamole for lunch
• Evening thunderstorms and rain while playing my Nintendo DS Lite, which is pink, by the way
• Showered and in my jammies by 8:30 PM

I’m really starting to remember what it is like to be a teenager again thanks to my good ol’ pal Hormones. See, Hormones and I had a pretty balanced relationship over the last 7 years or so. But I went and got rid of The Pill because I figured three was a crowd, right? But apparently Hormones is mad now and taking revenge by forcing acne to show up in the most awkward places ever.

Sitting here at work, waiting for the hubby to come pick me up. We rode together today as his car was at the shop being checked. We should carpool more often. We can’t really do it every day because I do have to get my allergy shot a couple times a week (for at least a month until I catch up) but we could at least try it on T-W-F or something like that. I mean, it would save money and mileage on our cars. Plus, my car is 100x more reliable (knock on wood) than his piece of junk.

I have no idea what we are doing for dinner tonight. I really got to get back into my meal planning strategy. Just trying to guess what I’m doing from one day to the next is not working out so well. I’ll sit there and eat cereal and popcorn for dinner every night if I keep that up. Sometimes its just hard to go home and cook dinner after a long, strenuous day.

Anyway, I could go on but I don’t wanna go too off the deep end in the rambling bits.

Here’s my short list for today:

• Chicken Salad sandwich from Arby’s. Indulgent & yummy.
• 15-20 minute walk in the hot sun on my lunch break.
• Riding in the car with my hubby on the way to and from work today.
• Sugar Free Worther’s Originals

• Picnics in the park when the temperature is still under 90°
• Chicken salad sandwiches & pineapple in the park
• Playing catch with velcro mitts & tennis balls
• Freshly vacuumed carpet & swept floors
• Dinner with my parents
• Ice cold water after feeling completely dehydrated
• Seeing my husband’s face every morning when I wake up
• Japanese Cherry Blossom perfume from Bath & Body Works

Of course there is more.. but that is my short list for today. I guess I should at least start posting short lists every day if I can’t think of paragraphs of stuff to write. Yes.. I think that will be my new goal. Thirty Lists in Thirty Days. I’ll try my best to keep up!

I haven’t been able to go through my vacation pictures. I refuse to go through them until I go through my wedding pictures otherwise I think I will NEVER go through my wedding pictures! I’ve got to let the photographer know which ones I want ordered ASAP. I’ve been a slacker in that area of my life.

I guess the biggest news right now is that Gene and I decided for me to stop taking my BC pill. I stopped about a week or so before our honeymoon and I was doing fine but the last 3 days or so I’ve been feeling really odd. Having a lot of period symptoms like bloating, stomach cramps and low back pain. I’ve had some pretty bad headaches and I slept from 7:30 PM to 5:30 AM yesterday. I guess the hormones in my body are all out of whack since I stopped taking the pill so I am really hoping my body gets itself in check soon and goes back to normal. So anyway, I am excited knowing that sometime in the [hopefully] near future we may be making babies! Hah. We aren’t going to “chart” or really plan anything. Just see where fate lands us.

I took Astro to the vet after work yesterday because his nose is all flakey and cracked. He’s been licking it constantly and now the front skin above his lip is all raw and gross. They gave me some prednisone and I gave him one yesterday evening after they ate dinner. Apparently last night he peed on the floor twice and then this morning I was startled awake by the sound of him peeing on the floor next to my bed. I googled prednisone for dogs and found that loss of bladder control is a side affect. Ugh. No more of that stuff for him! Going to keep an eye on his nose and hopefully it will get better. Otherwise he will go back to the vet and we can try something else.

We’re back! We actually got back really late (11:30 PM) on Thursday but have been trying to get back into our “routine” over the last couple of days. I think we’re slowly getting back. Coming back to work today was like a sudden jolt but I think I’m handling it pretty well.

We had a wonderful time in Florida. I fell in love with Disney World and now I want to live there! Coming back home was like some kind of punch to the face! I was glad to be back with my dogs and my family but I realized suddenly that I had to snap out of the Magical Disney World that I was once in.

I fell in love ten times over with my husband. Just when I thought my heart couldn’t possibly grow any larger, it proves me wrong. He is my best friend and the love of my life. I feel grateful that I have the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with such a wonderful person.

More on the trip and pictures later. I have a lot to get accomplished and a lot of “catch up” to play this week.

I just haven’t been writing lately because my wrists. They hurt. Bad. Sometimes I want to chop them off and just go wrist-less because it seems far less painful. Because The Carpal Tunnels. They’re painful. They really have been showing me no mercy. Ow. And there they go again.

I don’t use my computer at home because as much as I use it at work, I am in horrible pain by the end of the day and I don’t want to go NEAR a keyboard. I’m leaving on my Wedding Vacation (read: Honeymoon) on Thursday and I’ll be out of commission for a good week or so. I’m really hoping this time away helps to rejuvenate my spirit and also relax my wrists. Maybe even give ol’ Carpal Tunnel a kick to the wayside.

I’ll be back after June 26th. I’m going to be in Disney World. Having the time of my life with the love of my life. Riding rides, walking thousands of miles, taking pictures and doing, ya know, Honeymoon type things.

That is me, breathing a breath of fresh air! I don’t know what it was but I got in this funk and it lasted a good week or two. I was really feeling yucky about myself and it just snapped one day. And ever since I’ve felt like I was floating again. I’ve even had the energy to go on walks with the hubby. Short walks but still.. That’s better than no walk right?

So tomorrow I’m going to the Ringling Bros. Circus!! I can’t believe it. I am so excited because I haven’t been to the circus in years. I was very young when I went to the circus last. I wanna say somewhere around 10 or 12 years old.
