"Spam" Comments

As I said over at SB, If someone is going to send unsolicited comments at least they are nice about it and tell us what a fantastic blog we have. Other than that, this new wave of bombardment from "spam" type comments is annoying the heck out of me.

I wish something could be done about it.

Exercise is on hold til further notice. Ugh.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Miss Behaved!!

I'd sing Happy Birthday to you but you are supposed to be nice to people on their birthday.

Have a great day and here's to the next (hrmmrmhph) years!

I'm psychic

I was washing my face tonight and I was trying to think of what I could update my journal with. I find that some of the journals I love more often than not write in some sort of essay form. Even if it is something that happened during the day, it's like they focus on one thing and why it was funny, good, bad, sad, happy ect.

I find with my journal, you get a quick run by of the day's events, perhaps weeks if it has been a while since I've updated and then a quick promise to write more when I have time, am less tired, when pigs fly, you know, the usual time frame in which I update in.

So back to what I was saying. I was trying to think of what I could write about. I've been tossing a few ideas around. Mostly ideas I've seen on other journals and tossing around the thought, "Do I steal them, or no?" ect. ect.

So, I was washing my face and I thought, "Oh I could write like how much I hate when you are in the bathroom and you just sitting there doing your business when you look over and there's like, this horrific spider next to you! Sometimes in the sink, tub, or on a towel next to your face and sometimes the spider is like speckled and ugly or full bodied and scary or hairy and HELL NO I AIN'T KILLING THAT THING!

So I decided to just make a random comment about that, and you know, how I hate when that happens. That was oh, around 1:30 a.m.

Fast forward if you will to just now. I went into the bathroom to tinkle (yes that's what I call it. Leemee alone.) and I looked over and in the tub was an "OH MY GOD HE HEARD ME AND IS NOW STALKING ME!" spider. Granted, he wasn't hairy, ugly, speckled or full bodied. He was more like a midget daddy long legs but still people.... I just had that thought to write that and then he just appears out of no where... coincidence? I think not.

So yeah, that's my update for tonight. I'm psychic. If I get any vibes on winning lottery numbers, I'll be sure to send them... to the 7-11 with the Hunk and a fist full of dollars.

Night gang!

Ebay Gold Star

Well, I've earned my first gold star on ebay!

I've been quite pleased with my ebay experiance now that I'm actually starting to get the stuff I've paid for. It was a bit rough there at first. I seriously considered not ever ebaying again. *gasp* But then I quickly came to my senses. I've found a lot of good deals. Unfortunately, that shipping and handling business is what kills ya.

I'm still going strong with working out. I've completed 3 weeks solid of working out, although I only got 4 days of working out in this last week. I had my dvd/vcr unhooked on monday to move our crappy entertainment center out of the house so I didn't workout. I made up for it Wednesday but then took another unscheduled off on Thursday. I was plain lazy. I just didn't want to change into workout clothes.

I have not seen results so far. Maybe my calf feels a little firmer. I know it's because 1) My eating stinks and 2) I'm about to start my monthly curse. Between those two alone it's very hard to see any results of my efforts. I probably won't if I don't get a hold of my eating. It's not that I'm over eating, I'm just not eating as much during the day (it's easier to eat when the kids aren't around and my food can actually stay hot) and then eating too late at night and going to bed.

I'm also exercising at night. I really enjoy that it is the last thing I do of the day and then I can relax. Sometimes though, I wish I did it in the morning. Usually I wish this about 10 minutes before I have to exercise at night because I wish I would of had it done and over with. Hehe.

On the Hunk's job front- He still loves it. I'm so glad. It's so much better to see him go to work happy and ready and wanting to be there than it was to see him drag his butt to work as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders.

Well I need to get the boys lunch. I'll update more later, hopefully with pics of the new ebay stuff!

Random Question

Does anyone really adopt hiways?

Moving on up....

My mood is moving on up anyway. Let's hope the scale isn't following suit! I completed day 2 of working out this week and I get a night off tomorrow! Woohoo!

I'm trying to do little things in my life that change up my routine and hopefully make me feel better. Even if it takes me until 6 p.m. to do them, I do! I brush my teeth 3 times a day now. I comb my hair everyday. Oh don't act like every single one of you comb your hair everyday. There's some Mom's out there that don't, admit it! I get dressed in real clothes everyday and I put my tennis shoes on everyday now. I make sure that my face is thouroughly cleansed twice a day and I lotion up after my shower which has become nightly.

I realized tonight, after showering that my bathroom sink has begun to look like my mother's. There's day creams, night creams, facial cleansers, cup of make up brushes, q-tips, cotton balls, cotton rounds, make-up, lip balms, deoderant and lotions.

I think that I'm beginning to get to that age that you realize, "Wow, they were right. It is so important to take care of your skin." I never cared before. You wake up, get dressed, comb your hair, brush teeth and out the door. Sure I went through my phases of getting some new promising cleanser but it was just never a habit with me. Now I'm noticing how delicate the skin is under your eye, how my pores are large and unrefined and how quickly blackheads creep up on you. The fact that at my age I'm still getting pimples regularly tells me that maybe it is time to pamper my face too. I've been doing just that since I started working out. I even invested in some new make up. Just normal make up from W@lm@rt. Carrie, I've bought make-up for myself maybe 4 times in my life. I need expert advice!

Well I'm off to bed. Beauty rest is good for the skin too. Night!

Just on the wagon

Just wanted to let you know that this lack of updates is not beause I'm no longer working out or trying to lose weight but just because Tylenol Simply Sleep knocks my butt out! It's nearly 4 a.m. tonight and I didn't take the pills earlier and since it works so well (I'm amazed as it is over the counter and they never work for me) that I'm not going to take it this early in the morning. I'd never get up with the boys!

I did want you guys to know that tonight (Friday) marked start of week 3! I've broke my habit! Usually I could never go more than a week of exercising in the last year and a half but I have worked out 2 full weeks and I'm actually thrilled to be on week 3. I feel like I've done a lot. even though it's just been two. Woo! Go me!

Another thing? Ebay is verra verra evieeeel. They should have a warning somewhere on the website. "Can be habit forming. Hazardous to your bank account. Monitary draining virus found on this site." Or something like that.

But woo, so much fun knowing you have goodies coming in the mail. I think this is how I'm going to do all my christmas shopping this year.

Night!
