I brought the food log back and then took it away again. I realized I am not ready for that just yet. Today I ate better than I have in a while but I did indulge a few times. I can’t believe how absolutely starving I was all day! I just felt like I could keep eating and eating and never fill up. I need to get better at drinking more water and eating better things. Give me time here. Gotta get back on track!

Anyway, I am feeling a lot better than I was yesterday. Now I just have a severely dry throat/mouth and a little bit of weakness. Like I feel that if I walk too much my legs may colapse and that would not be a good thing. Anyway, I can’t write right now.. I don’t have a train of thought and I don’t have the concentration I need.

Hello from Denny’s! Yes, that is right, I am sitting in a booth in a Denny’s with the aboslute ugliest fabric choice ever! It is great, I tell you. I had my allergy tests done today in the city and it was worse than I thought it would be. I mean, I knew I would be allergic to stuff but I had no idea I would be that allergic. I pretty much tested positive for all 70ish things they tested for but one. One! Geesh. I still need to get the allergy report from the nurse so I can check it out. Crazy stuff. Start my allergy shots next Tuesday. Right now I have a reaction the size of a baseball on my right upper arm and I am ready for it to go-away!

Drinking a French Vanilla Cappuccino and actually, I just lied. I’m looking at a French Vanilla Cappuccino, one that is way too hot to drink right now.  I ordered a sampler since we are just sitting here messin’ around.. I figured that way it looks like we should be here. It’s OK… It’s not busy at all in here. Earlier this evening we went to a couple of comic book/anime stores and I got 2 Family Guy comic books. I am going to go ready those after I get done writing here.

Gene is helping Layla with her poetic english homework. Every now and then I hear phrases like “Making sweet moan,” it’s freaking me out a little. Oh and makes me sooo happy that I am no longer in any high school english courses! I hated trying to decypher some of those crazy poems. I mean, I think some poems can be really awesome but some of the ones in high school were down right rediculous.

Anyway, enough pointless rambling. Gonna go read my Fam Guy stuff and drink cappuccino. Hope everyone is doing well.

MySpace is not being cooperative right now. Which seems to be the story lately, anyway. I hate the darn thing! I can only login if it is somewhere during the hours in which most teenagers are in school. I swear all of the kids must be on the darn thing around 9-10 PM CST! I just wanna make sure I don’t have any messages… Just give me 5 minutes people! Geez.

I’m just sitting here with a cup of hot chocolate. Waiting for it to cool enough so that I don’t burn half of my mouth off. It smells so divine.. mmmm :) I even put a little bit of whipped cream on it. I know, I spoil myself. But what can I say?? Sometimes I deserve it! And especially afer today…

It wasn’t the worst day in the world but it definitely was not a good day, by anyone’s standards. Lets just say that my allergies took over my body and tried to torture it to death. They almost won, almost. Luckily I made it through the day at work and now I am ready to drink this hot chocolate and then get into bed. The head congestion and constant headaches are just way too much sometimes. Anyway, tomorrow is hopefully my last day to suffer :). Here’s why:

I am going to the Oklahoma Allergy & Asthma Clinic (or is it Asthma & Allergy? I never know.. Technicalities!) to have my allergies and asthma tested. See if I’m eligible for allergy shots (cross your fingers). I am sick of taking prescription allergy medicine that does not WORK if you miss the medicine! I really am not good at remembering pills so an allergy shot would be PERFECT. Anyway, the thing about this testing is that it is an all day event! When the lady on the phone told me that I would get a lunch break, I knew it couldn’t be good. Finally I got out of her that I could possibly be there until 5 PM. Did I mention that my appointment starts at 9 AM??? Because it does. And. Oh. My. Gosh. Luckily, this place just happens to be almost connected to Gene’s work, so he is going to drop me off and then we can go to lunch together. It’s always the little things that matter most :)

I don’t think I’ve ever read a single horoscope in my life that has been dead on or anywhere near right… but this one has me absolutely speechless:

ARIES (Mar 20 – Apr 19): This is a rather stressful phase for you as you resist fulfilling your obligations. You may not feel happy with those who are making demands on you, but no matter how much you struggle, you cannot enjoy yourself if you avoid doing your part. Whatever alienation you may feel is part of your way to create walls around your emotional castle. Honor your need to make it real, but don’t overreact or isolate yourself from loved ones.

Wow. And I think I’ll end on that. Outta town for a couple days.. be back later :)

P.S. The Razor Burn?? It sucks :(

Had a lot of tension in my right shoulder today. Like so bad I had to leave work briefly to run home and get my heating pad/ice pack. It went away for the better part of the afternoon but slowly crept back up on me towards the end of the day. Since then, I’ve felt tense. Ugh. Layla and I went to get our monthly pedicure and the massage chair was too perfect :) After the tension.. that totally helped! But now I am back to the pain. Sucks…

Tomorrow I need to leave work a little early to get ready for our out of town trip this weekend. We’re only going away for one night but I feel SO incredibly tensed and stressed out about it. I feel like I have way more to accomplish in the next 48 hours than I can even think about. From now until Saturday morning at 7 AM, I need to bake my Grandparent’s cake, decorate it after it cools, get my hair trimmed, get the dogs ready (Astro for boarding, Emma for her stay at my dad’s house), pack our bags and all of the other normal daily stuff. I mean, I guess it doesn’t sound like much but in my head, it is! And I’m totally wondering how I am going to get to it all.. Keep calm, I know. Breathe.

I’d take a bath but I don’t have time. I need to take a fast shower and get into bed ASAP. I wanted to go into work at 6 AM tomorrow so that I can get some stuff done around the office without the phone ringing and interrupting me. Also because I need to leave work an hour or two early tomorrow to get a jumpstart on all of the stuff I need to do. If I went to bed right this second I could get barely 7 hours of sleep.. so factor in a shower and the general getting ready for bed stuff and I may be lucky if I get 6! Not something to look forward to, that’s for sure :(

P.S. If anyone can guess correctly where the quote in the subject is from, you will get extra gold stars ;)

Gene and I went to Target a few minutes ago and got my cousin a Mr. Potato Head set. It contains over 50 pieces! Holy cow :D It rawks. Two large potatoes and a small spud ;) Lots of eyeballs and outfits and mouths and ears and hats! I can’t wait to play with it with her. I can’t wait to see her! See.. My aunt & uncle live in the Chicago area and that is just far-far away. Ever so often we get to see them, maybe a couple of times a year? It sucks. My aunt is due with their 2nd child in October and I can’t wait!

Gene is manning the kitchen while I blog. We’re having macaroni ‘n cheese and polish sausage with bbq sauce :) Yummity yums! Then.. if we are feeling up to it, another short walk like last night. Trying to get back into the swing of things with our walks. Gotta ease back into it since it has been so long since we went last time. I hate that I let myself slack off so badly but it is hard to motivate yourself to go on a walk when it is 105° out with horrible humidity.

Enough excuses… Back to the kitchen. Gonna help my baby get dinner ready :)

I am starvin’ like marvin’ y’aaaaallll. Yes, I just went there. Shutup :P

New layout again! Heeh. I can’t stop myself. I don’t even really care for this one that much either but I definitely like it better than the other one :) I think Gene and I are going to go on a short walk in a little bit. I don’t feel that wonderful but I do feel like I need a nice walk outside. Right now it is only 86° outside and I hate to not be outside enjoying it. I think the last of our 100° weather is over for the year and I can’t even begin to express how happy I am for that! It just got way too hot there for a while. The kind of hot where you walk outside and feel like you are being smothered. Yuck!

Anyway.. gonna get these dogs together and get on our walk. I’m going to try my BEST to be asleep by 12 tonight. It seems every night it is well after midnight and I think if I get a little more sleep for once it will help keep me from getting that ill. So instead of writing anymore, I’ll post some lyrics that mean something to me.

“This Project is Stagnant” Latterman

we know things lose their shine over time
so the things that you love you say wont feel the same way
so move out
move on
fall deep in love with your meaning
and if we haven’t found it
i hope we can all start looking

so look out
look up
even though the skies are cloudy gray
spend every new day
look deep and fall in love again

cause things can’t stay new forever
cause things can’t stay new forever
cause things can’t stay new forever
we have to work to keep it together
old melodies renewed and recreated
we have to keep on singing
