Bad Food!


Here is what I ate yesterday.


  • 2 Ritz Crackerfuls ( new snack, essentially just two big crackers filled with some sort of cheese food product. This was breakfast)

  • Big Mac (Bear brought me lunch since I was stuck in the house all day with the tile guy)

  • Fries (which I shared with Bear after my chest started hurting from the Big Mac)

  • 3 chocolate truffles

  • Goldfish crackers

  • 3 glasses of Raspberry Lemonade

  • Ravioli's -cheese filled and then covered with parmesan (cuz I love me some parmesean)

  • Corn

  • 3 slices of Pepperidge Farm Garlic bread.

  • Swiss cake roll

Not very healthy but for me, meh, not bad. But and this is a big but, (not MY Big Butt, cuz my butt is actually pretty small), but, I felt like crap all day. And I was cranky, (according to my family who have been known to exaggerate). So today my goal is to eat healthier.
I had some oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch I was thinking of a tuna sandwich. I will stay away from the chocolate and other crap. At least until I go to work where I will have to keep eating sugar and drinking caffiene to stay awake.

I will be good till then. Hopefully.

Some more nothing...


All I can say is Thank God the Holidays are over!! I swear, the day after Christmas I am ready to tear that tree down and pack everything up! Then New Years, meh, I don't go out on New Year's anyway. I worked this year. Then Bear has a birthday on the fifth so after all that I am ready for a bit of normalness.
But what I am discovering is there isn't much to my normal. Work is busy again, well steady at least. We get a big slow down around the holidays. Kids are back in school. And I am doing a whole lot of nothing. A ton of it, actually. A lot of watching television, a lot of Facebook. Some reading. Which is good. The reading part at least. I have a huge stack of books, some I got for Christmas last year! So I am trying to make a dent. (Reading Stephen Kings new one should make a HUGE dent! That is one big book.)
I had planned on doing a bunch of sewing, but my room got turned into a storage room when the new bathtub got put in. And now it still has bathroom crap in it because this week the tile is being put in. Grrrrr.... but I always plan on doing a bunch of sewing and then when I get the free time I am sitting on the couch watching TV and playing Bejeweled.
I think I will drag out my hand quilting frame and at least do that when I am watching tv. At least its something!
I blame the weather. I just don't feel like doing much of anything when its cold and icky out. Yeah. The Weather. We'll blame that.
This week at least.

Random Crap


For awhile there I felt like I was working all the time. The wee boy was complaining about me being gone all the time. Then Thanksgiving came. And the pts left. I got put on call on Black Friday. (Which was awesome cuz we were out in Bisbee looking at cool old houses). Then I worked on Saturday, but only for half a shift cuz someone else didn't want to be on call and I didn't want to work. Then Tuesday on call again. Yeesh!
So I have been home for quite awhile. Trying to keep busy and get some stuff done. The bathroom is still a wreck, no tile, brick exposed and a ton of people coming in to give us estimates who never give us an estimate. Instead of worrying about that I have been cleaning out the former sewing room and turning it into a game room for the boys. Which gives me my TV back. :) So win-win!

Then I had to scramble and make a stocking and fill it for an exchange I signed up for. December first just kind of snuck up on me! While doing that I remembered that I like to sew. So I made a vow to just get off my ass and really fix up my room and then, here is the surprising part, actually sew in it! I know! Who would have thought? So that is my plan for tomorrow.

Since I spent all day cleaning the house, even shampooing the carpets I think I deserve a sewing day. :) And while cleaning out my sewing room I found all these projects I forgot I had. Which got me excited again about sewing.


Now if I can just stay away from Facebook. . .

Is it just me, or. . .


Hallie started it and I wanted to play last week, but stupid life got in the way!! So let's see if we can play this week!

Creative Blog Designs
Is it just me, or does watching The Biggest Loser while eating a big bowl of ice cream (with chocolate sauce!) just seem so very, very, wrong??

Is it just me, or do dog farts just smell so much worse than anything??And I do mean ANYTHING!! I am a nurse for pete's sake! I have smelled some rather putrid stuff. Really nasty stuff coming from every orifice a person has. But when my dog Phoebe lays on the floor at my feet and just relaxes....OH MY GAH!!! There is nothing worse. Nothing.

Is it just me, or all the ads during the day assume you are either A. ninety years old, B. unemployed, C. disabled?? There are more sue-everyone-for-anything-lawyer ads, weird-sort-of colleges, or medicine for everything -leaking -out -of -every -orifice you have ads on while I catch up on old M*A*S*H or Friends reruns. What happened to all the Happy Housewives cleaning product ads??

Is it just me, or does the insurance ad with the talking pothole the funniest thing ever?? We were quoting it all night at work. Picture a bunch of overtired nurses giggling and saying "Did I do that??? Let me get my cellular and call you a wrecker. . ." Okay maybe that one is just me, and my overtired co-workers!


Thanks Hallie!
