New layout! Actually, it is the exact same layout just a different header image and new color scheme. I know, I know. I’m doing things the cheapo way. But man I have been cleaning this house all day, since about 10:30 AM and I am plum exhausted :o And Gene and I are still going out to do a little shopping in a little bit. I’m going to be dead by this evening, no questions asked.
I hope you all have an excellent weekend :)

Four victims for this meme:
I’m not gonna do this one because I suck. I’m extremely tired and I think I’m going to take a shower and get ready for bed. Busy day at work today and it wore me out!
Sorry I haven’t written. I’ve been a bad girl, I guess :o I just can never find the time or energy to write up an entry, which is exactly why I have a livejournal that I can just post two or three words to and be satisfied with it. This one? I feel like I need to write out whole paragraphs in order to satisfy the world. It’s a lame little way of thinking but that is how my brain tends to work. Ok, now that the apologies and excuses are over with….
I’ve been trying to eat healtheir and healthier. I may have lost a little weight so far but I can’t ever tell. I wont know until certain pieces of clothing that I have start to feel loose. I don’t own a scale and I really don’t want to own a scale. I’m too scared to even know what it could possibly say. So at this point I am tracking what I eat, counting the calories and looking for visual changes!
I said I would do a review on A Million Little Pieces and I am going to. Basically, the book is an excellent book. I totally disagree with all of the controversy over it right now. I think people exaggerate the truth on a daily basis for emphasis and drama. I think the book was quite amazing and it brought me to tears a few times. And if anything, it really scared me to death of drugs and of how addictive and life-altering they are. I think everyone should check it out and at least give it a read. It’s a fast read because most of the book is not paragraph-form. It is written line by line, as if it was straight from someone’s diary. The next book after this one is My Friend Leonard (by James Frey) and I am hoping to someday check that book out. It looks great and I’d love to see where his relationship with Leonard goes.
Anyway, I gotta run. Mom and sister are coming over for dinner tonight. I got a roast in the crockpot with carrots and potatoes. Think I will make some mac & cheese (Layla isn’t big on roast if I remember correctly) and buttered toast to go with it. Hope you all are having a great life!

I bought Cranium Turbo Edition today while Gene and I were browsing around in Bullseye Hell (AKA Target). I’ve played the game a couple of times and the Turbo edition was $5 cheaper than the regular edition and came with better features. Well, because we bought that I totally had to invite my mom and sister over to play :) Layla had practice until 8:30 and I don’t think they showed up until at least 10 PM. We played until around 1 AM and then they left. Gene and I won! Hah. We got a lot of easy questions and we didn’t get hardly any of the creative/acting categories. We kept hitting the word puzzles and trivia question categories.
Well, I guess I’m losing brain cells by the minute because I had a long post written up in my head and now I can’t even think of anything worthwhile to start the 2nd paragraph. How sad :( Well, I hope everyone has an excellent weekend. Tomrrow, Gene and I are heading to KC’s house for games and salads. Gene is doing extremely well after his surgery. Almost too well!!
P.S. I finished my book A Million Little Pieces. I have a lot I want to say about it so I will post my final review another day.
The title of this entry is totally in reference to my new “diet.” Which really hasn’t been much of a diet the last few days. I have been trying my absolute best to eat healthier but things have come up. I guess I can consider right now the “observation period” of my diet. The part where I observe what I have been eating on a daily basis and then try my best to make more changes to it as it goes along ;)
Gene had his wisdom teeth surgery this afternoon. He went in at around 3:15 and was out by 4! I couldn’t believe it. Never heard of it being so fast in my entire life. I still don’t know if they are dissolvable stitches or not. The nurse is supposed to call and check on him tomorrow so I will probably ask them then. He is doing surprisingly well :) He was fine but I gave him his pain medicine and it made him feel nauseated so I had to give him the nausea medicine as well. He finally fell asleep about 30 minutes ago. I am supposed to wake him up at 9 to take some Aleve but I think I am going to see if he sleeps until midnight, because that is when I am supposed to give him the next round of lortabs and amoxycillin.
That is about it for tonight. I did the dishes and that is about all of the energy I can muster up. My plan was to get quite an awesome amount of housework done while he was passed out from medicines but I can’t do it. I’ve tried and I just walk around the house aimlessly. Maybe tomorrow. There is always tomorrow. Right?
I got the new layout as fixed up as it is probably going to get. I tend to slack off a lot more than I ever did these days. Between taking care of two canine children and having a whole house to clean and take care of, I can’t seem to find time these days :( But that is part of growing up, right? And besides, I’m the one who wanted a house sooo bad. What in the world was I thinking?
Not a whole lot that is new to report on. Still trying to track what I am eating and see where my problem areas are (snacking, duhhh?) :) I am trying my best to cut back on the snacking and fight temptation the best I can. This weekend was the one time a month that all of us women get the worst cravings ever and tend to have a bottomless stomache… so it has definitely been challenging and I wont lie, I have given in a few times. Bad me :( But I will do better! I promise.
Things between Gene and I are better than ever, of course. I love the boy more than anything in the entire universe :love: He is my one and only! I look forward to seeing his face in the morning and I look forward to that big ‘ol hug I get everyday when I walk in the door from work. Being away from him for 12 hours just rips me up but I sure do enjoy seeing his handsome face when I come home :) I can’t complain about my life. Simply because I have him to come home to every single day. And it is more than I could have EVER wished for. More than I thought I ever deserved or would have. He surprises me every day and he really cares about me. And I know he cares about me. And I know he loves me. And what is better than to love someone so deeply and have them love you back the same? Nothing!
Gosh, I should get going. I need to get in bed soon. I’m calling it an early night. Going to read more of the book I’m currently reading (A Million Little Pieces by James Frey). I want to finish it so bad because I can’t wait to find out the way it ends but it is taking me a while to do it. I get so tired when I start reading and I end up having to put it down and go to sleep! Maybe if I start earlier tonight I’ll be able to get a lot done :) Wish me luck! I’ll let you know how the book turns out.

Gene and I got the Christmas lights down off of the house :) Well, he was the one on the roof taking down the lights and I was putting the lights back in the boxes, putting the clips away, etc. I think we both deserve credit for it, though ;) The doggies played outside while we did that. It sure is a nice day outside today. Too nice, for January. 71° right now! Where in the world is the blizzard???
That is about all that is going on around here. I need to change this layout again, as it is getting on my nerves. I guess one new thing is that I am now tracking what I eat every day and trying to eat healthier. As healthy as I can with my low willpower. Anyway, I’ve created a second blog that is just for the purpose of talking about weight loss, healthy recipes, and keeping track of my daily consumption. If you want access, just comment on this entry and I will e-mail you the URL. However, it is not something I wanted linked to from your public blogs, as I am trying to keep it as private as possible.
