Haven't blog in a while again...Falling off the wagon...Got up to early today... So tired! Just want to go home and go to bed, or even to just lay my head down on my desk here for a few minutes!

 

Oh well, tonight, we will go to Hobby Lobby, have dinner, and then, if the world will excuse me, Im going to bed!

 

Blessed Be!

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

Haven't blogged in a while. Not since before my Uncle Paul died three weeks ago. Since then, Nana's daughter has passed away as well. We went to Denver for Thanksgiving, that was fun. My Grrrl and I have had a nice weekend this past weekend, and I am drowning at work... I finished Robert's scarf, and I am super stoked about that! 

 

Almost completely ready for the holiday. Stocking stuffers are all that is needed. Tonight, maybe, we will decorate the tree. This weekend, we are going to decorate the tree at my moms. Oh joy... she complained because we are only giving her two hours of our weekend...

 

I have a million and one things that I want to do, and not much energy or drive to do them! This weekend, and carrying on through tonight, My Grrrl and I are having a Superhero marathon. Tonight, Thor!

 

Anyhow, I just wanted to get back into the habit of doing this...

 

Blessed Be!

Tiu's day November 13th, 2012

Tuesday -- Tiu's day

Middle English tiwesday or tewesday
Old English tiwesdæg "Tiw's (Tiu's) day"
Latin dies Martis "day of Mars"
Ancient Greek hemera Areos "day of Ares"

Tiu (Twia) is the English/Germanic god of war and the sky. He is identified with the Norse god Tyr.

Mars is the Roman god of war.

Ares is the Greek god of war.

 

Busy day again, last night was nice. We were all in the living room, after a scare with the surge protector and a trip to Target. Meatless Monday is postponed to Tuesday because we got frozen meals! I got fish, I was craving all weekend, so yeah for me!

 

The results of the first part of the weight loss challenge is in. I did not win. It was close, I am still waiting to hear just how close. The nurse that saved my life last week is who won, so yeah for her, she is a super nice lady. However, now, I have to get back on my game, and KICK HER BUTT!!! She even told Aisha that she wanted to split the pot with me. I told her "no, Darla won fair and square" and that she can buy me a coke if she REALLY wants to do something for me.

 

I have PMS right now, and that is not good for my diet! Oh well, I have a week and a day to fatten Robert up and loose a few more pounds. If I do, I do... If I don't, well then I don't. Robert is the best saver of money in the house, so he might actually deserve it more than me!

Haha!

 

Ok, well, back to it!

 

Blessed Be!

Moon's Day, November 12th, 2012

It's Monday again. 9 days to vacation! Thank heavens, I need it! Busy weekend, and all I wanted to do was to rest, oh well...

 

Now, it is Monday, and this day is crazy! Well, that is a Monday, a Kronos Monday to boot!

 

This weekend I did get to finally change colors on My Grrrls blanket! That is a big deal to me!

 

Robert got the coolest jacket at Savers this weekend.

 

I really don't have much to write about, I guess... Last night, My Grrrl and I went over to my sister's house. Her circuit breaker was tripped, and hiding, so we went over there to save the day. And, save the day I did! I found it, hiding in the garage, and I flipped it, making the lights come back on!

 

My Sister and My Grrrl and I hung out and talked for a while. That was nice... Now, I am even sadder that she is leaving...

 

I do need to step tonight... I need to get into that habit, of doing it at night... Still a while to go in my journey of weight loss... Until Christmas in the Urgent Care Weigh Off! If I can get comfortably into my 36's, I'll be happy!

 

Well, I guess I better get back to it... Lots to do and I am leaving at 430 come hell or high water... What is left for tomorrow, so be it!

 

 

 

Blessed Be!

Monday, November 5th, 2012

It's Monday again. I got up and worked out today. I felt better for a while for doing it! An hour or so ago, my head starting pounding, and I'm sneezy and my throat hurts, and, and, and... I hope that this goes away soon, I DO NOT WANT TO BE SICK ON MY VACATION!

 

Robert is staying at a friends tonight, Cara is hanging out with friends, Marie pretty much can fend her herself. I think that I will be taking the night off... Dinner and then to bed, where I will watch TV, and crochet, and rest. I have a new book, I want to get to reading it.

 

We went to Hasting's this weekend, and used books, etc, were half off. I found two books that were low in price before hand, so yeah for that!

 

My chest has been hurting all day, and I think that it has to do with over doing it this morning when I worked out...

 

 

My Grrrl is going to her Aunt's house tomorrow to help her un-hoard.. and I am all for it! I am very proud of her aunt, for doing what my mother can't and for My Grrrl getting out. I just hope that if I feel like doody, she does not cancel going to her Aunt's house tomorrow...Not likely that I will actually call in... I'd have to be dying to do so!

 

 

Blessed Be!

Voting went easily...

Saggio's was not that good...

My mother is a TOOL...

 

 

My Grrrl and I went to Savers. We found a sheet for her super awesome t-shirt quilt. She found me a neat

T-shirt, and I found some jeans, 501's even!. Best of all...I got two new work outfits... The pants are 2 sizes smaller than I started with! Had her tape me. I have lost more inches than I thought! I am super excited about that.

 

 

The Urgent Care weigh in is not complete, so I don't know if I won the money over there... I am excited and nervous. I hope that I won! Seeing how little time there is left before we go to Denver, I need to step it up! I want to win the big pot there too! I want more new clothes! And I want them in smaller sizes!

 

 

Didn't sleep well, woke up around 2 and could not get back to sleep. I have no idea what woke me up either! Watched To Wong Foo with My Best Grrrl, so that was nice. Then we put in The Village, I did fall asleep during that, got two hours of sleep. I did NOT get up to work out, AGAIN... So much for stepping up the weight loss! Ha!

 

 

That is all for now. I need to get a few things wrapped up, looks like I will be able to get out of here a bit earlier than I thought this morning!

 

Blessed Be!

Happy November! Today, I take my oldest daughter to vote for the first time. I can remember when I first voted, with my mom. I was preggers! haha! I am the better mom by far, my voting daughter is not preggers!

Today I have been slammed, and I am so ready for it to be over! However, I know that this voting thing will take a lot out of me! Going to the SUB, know that there will be long lines... Kids will get cranky, mother will be there, so I will probably get cranky, sister as well, there and getting cranky, and possibly, making me more cranky!

Thank Goddess for CROCHET! Then, home, hopefully, in time for The Big Bang, new episode tonight..If we don't make ithome in time... Thank Goddess for the DVR! Just Thank The Goddess!

Ready for this day to be over... I did not work out today, so I feel kinda bad, however, I have also not been very hungry today, so I made sure that what I did eat was good for me... I think that it works out in the end? Ill pretend it does at least!

Well, that is all for today!

Blessed Be!

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

Busy busy busy day. Glad it's over, well at least the work part! Now, home, dinner of tots and chili, yum!

Tomorrow is the weigh in in the Urgent Care... Ugh! Also, a pot luck, so I have to go get some cookies for the pot luck, not a good weight loss food? Ill stop at Walgreens in the morning, I am driving, because Cara has a dentist appointment. Robert is going to go to my moms to see her and Joe, still haven't figured out how to get him home without her bringing him... Don't really want to deal with her tomorrow. I want Samhain to be nice, this is the first one that we are really celebrating.

I also need to get candy on the way home tomorrow... I am sure it will be slim pickings by then, but that just means less chance that we will have any left over... You know... If we park the van right up to the gate, then we won't have trick or treaters... Turn off the security light, until around 9:00? It's a thought, then I don't have to go buy candy, or have a bunch of people buggin us... Oh, I do have to go buy the stuff to make s'mores... Oh well, can't watch a break! Lol? Seriously, if that is my biggest worry right now... I'm good!

Last night I had an odd dream, at this point I don't remember much, just that my ex husband was in it, he had not told his grandparents we were splitting up, so he wanted me to act like we were still together? The part that sticks with me the most is that we were camping in their back forty... I think that I miss Papa, and am sad that Nana has to live away from her home... T was an odd dream...

Oh well, whatever I ate before bed, no more of that! Haha

That is all for now!

Blessed Be!

Monday, October 29th, 2012

What a long day! Oh, I do not enjoy getting up so early! I need a nap! I can't wait to get home and relax! At least with Cara not having a job anymore, I don't have to go get her! I can get into pajamas as soon as I get home, and not have to go out of the house again!

 

I WILL finish the rustish color that I am working on in the blanket this week! Maybe tonight I can work on gluing the pics in Diane's book, and maybe even look at cookie recipes with My Grrrl.

 

Who knows, the possibilities are endless, all that I do know is that I NEED to step tonight. And I NEED to stop eating so much over the weekends. I undo most of the hard work that I do over the week, in just two and a half days!

 

I am very much looking forward to our vacation! I have not felt like I am really EARNING a vacation in a while!

 

 

Well, back to it!

 

Blessed Be!

Saturday, October 27th, 2012

It's Saturday again, nice and chilly. A good day to stay in bed and crochet, alas, nope...life calls again. One good thing, today, Robert will get his dog doo chore done at my sisters, so I will not have to take him to do that tomorrow! Maybe tomorrow I can stay in bed, or at least in jammies all day!
I just need a downtime day... I am still fighting this stupid cold, and I just want to shake it and be back to myself! I suppose it doesn't help that I have been eating crap lately... I need to work on that, I need to get back onto the health kick that I was on. I have hit a plateau... How am I supposed to win the contest at work like this?

Sitting here in the Carmel waiting on Cara, cleaning out all the crap from the election mailings... Ill be glad when this is over!m

Someone upset My Grrrl today. I am not happy about it. I don't know what, but I do know who, I am not surprised. I just don't understand why people do the things that they do...

 

Tonight, I will be taking care of My Grrrl, my best friend, my wife, my favorite person to get into trouble with, to argue with, to make up with, to be silly with, to be lazy with, the giggle with... EVEN, to watch disgusting cysts being squeezed on YouTube with...

 

That is all for now!

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Today is NOT my Dad's birthday! for years, I thought that it was! Maybe that is why I felt his presence so strongly yesterday, because I finally got it right this year!

 

This morning was Cara's student led conference. She is doing well, needs to pick it up in financial literary, but other than that... Love her advisory teacher. She was funny, caring and nice. She said the funniest thing, if I thought that I could get away with saying it, but I cannot! She said something to the effect of "good lord puddin'... blah blah blah" Just the way she said it! haha!

 

Now, I am on my last break of the day, I am having a hot flash and my back hurts so bad, it is almost unbearable... I think that I will not be able to walk from the bus stop. Might have to wimp out and ask for a ride... Not sure what I did, but I am feeling it now!

 

I think that I have PMS, because I am starving! And I just finished a helping of stew at lunch time! There's an app for that, and I just checked it, and Yep... I sure am... Oh that hurts my feelings! Wow, just realized that if I start when scheduled, I will start on the Full Moon... Figures! LOL

 

Well, time to get back to it!

Saturday October 21st, 2012

What a day! We didn't make it to the wedding, but we did say a blessing for the couple, and we made a nice day of it!

We went to lunch, then to Hastings, then took Marie with us to go do some errands. That was nice.

Then we got home, Marie and I had Arby's for dinner, went to go get Cara, stopped at my sisters for a few minutes... That was fun.

Then off to bed. Now I am getting ready to head out for breakfast with my mom... I am going to try REALLY hard to NOT LET HER GET TO ME... I can do it, I can be strong!

On a side note... My Grrrl is making the BEST SMELLING pork stew. At this point, it is just the pork roast in the crock pot... I woke up around 3 wondering what that delicious smell was! I am surprised that I did not get up and sleep walk down to the kitchen!

Have a blessed day!

Thor's Day October 18th, 2012

Last night My Grrrl and I went to see the Led Zeppelin movie! TOTALLY AWESOME! We got there nice and early and I got some crochet in while she and I talked. It was nice!

 

I did not work out this morning, and I am, once again, super flippin tired! All I want is to go home and go to bed! Soon, after the kids are in bed. Cara home from work, the bathroom...

 

Gotta go...

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

So tired today! What in the world! Why can't I not be tired? I know that I am fighting this cold hat everyone else has had, but really!

 

My Grrrl and I are going to see a movie tonight, "Celebration Day". I am excited about it, but I am going to need a BIG Red Bull on our way to the movie!  To bad, since my morning routine getting to work has getting Robert to school, I cannot go in late, and thus sleep in... And it's not even like I can sleep in my office tomorrow! LOL!

 

I wish that I could take a little nappy-poo right now, but I have a meeting to go to in an hour. It is not often that I have to go to meetings too, but this one I am looking forward to! Getting billing off of my plate. I'd rather get Productivity off of my plate, but I will take what I can get!

 

 

Blessed Be!

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012

So tired today... getting buried under all of the new work that I have... Have to keep an eye on the light at the end of the tunnel... Soon, billing will not be mine anymore. I appreciate that my boss got that help for me...

 

I have phlegm issues, and I am fighting to stay awake.

 

Tonight, I want to work on Diane's book, and that is about it! I have to pick up Cara from work, but then, I am in bed!

 

Tomorrow night is the Led Zeppelin movie! Looking forward to that! Even though it is My Grrrl that is the super fan, I am excited, even if just to see her get excited! I know that she knows what I mean, how I am feeling... She went with me to see Weird Al, after all!

Friday, October 12th, 2012

This morning talking to my son about my mother, and what time she was coming to get him, he suggested that she could give me a ride to the bus, its kinda ugly outside, I told him that I could not depend on her to get me there in time... Then it hit me...

I CAN'T DEPEND ON MY MOTHER... I CAN'T DEPEND ON MY MOTHER... That is something that should not be news to me, yet it was like a lightbulb went off... And ill say this... It's painful to realize, even though I knew it...

I'm sitting here on the bus thinking of who I can depend on... My kids? To an extent, they are, after all, kids... My sister? Not really... My Grrrl is really the only one I could count on in a real emergency...Household stuff? That is a different thing, we have different ideas about what is what. Same with my Yule prepping... I don't want till the last moment on it, plus I want to make the season last long, and prepping for it at least let's ME be in that mood, but no one really understands me reasoning for things... I know that even in my Yule prepping, there are touches of my childhood issues, but that doesn't change the fact that I have turned it around, to attempt to make a negative a positive...is that so wrong?

Bottom line here, I think that for certain things, I can only count on myself...that is, maybe, the way that most people feel? I don't want to depend on others so much that my fate, choices, and outcomes are in hands other than my own...

 

So Mote It Be

TODAY IS 10.11.12!

 

Not much to blog about today, it has been CRAZY! And all of the running was not really for anything, it didn't solve the issue that was making me run around! That is frustrating! 

 

I am bloated and a little gassy. I am tired... My Grrrl is sick, Marie is getting over the same thing that has My Grrrl down. I want to give up and give in to the illness myself, or at least to the sleep that is beckoning me! Alas, I cannot at this time. Soon though, soon...

 

Tonight is a new Big Bang Theory! And I am SUPER excited about that! There is no school for the kids tomorrow, so Cara will be out late. I, will be going to bed early! EARLY EARLY EARLY... as in 5 minutes after dinner is done and cleaned up!

 

Tonight we will be having grilled cheese... or other assorted sammachs.... I am looking forward to it very much! I will heat up a piece or three of lunch meat and add those to the grilled cheese. Not just one kind of cheese, two or three... Gourmet baby!

 

This afternoon I will b working on the Zero Report... Boring! That is NOT going to help my tiredness! It is the essence of sleep educing! 

 

Well, I better go now and get back to the Zero Report. If I get it done early this month, I can not keep that to myself, and have some perceived free time! We'll see if that actually works out for me... Highly unlikely!

 

Blessed Be!

Wednesday October 10th, 2012

Thank Goddess, for a second there, I thought that it was only Tuesday! Alas, it is Wednesday.

I am sitting in a meeting,and it is BORING AS HELL! To make things worse, the lunch I was SO looking forward to, stunk! I ate a bit of my chicken, but it was kind of pink in the middle, no thank you!

I am so tired right at this moment... It is dark in here and I just ate a tortilla and some mashed potatoes! Not a good idea! When I go back to my office, I am going to drink some cold water, or tea, and see if that wakes me up at all!
Walking home will help, but that is not for 5 hours!

Wow, that hurts to write!

Last night My Grrrl taped me, I am happy to say that I have lost .5 of an inch all around, except my neck. Maybe more on my thighs, because we did it in a different place. Maybe I will do it again tonight, then again, maybe not!

I have had it with the Simpsons game, and I deleted it. I had to actually, because it would not even let me in anymore... Lame, even with the issues, I liked that game, and put up with it...

I better go, I think that I am next... Ugh!

Blessed Be!

What a wonderful weekend we had! I am so sorry that it is over... Tonight is the Powder Puff Football game. Less than totally excited about it, but I am excited. It will be nice to do something in the fresh night air, at the same time... my throat hurts and I am not sure this will not make it worse!

 

Anyhow, back to the stoopid zero report!

Lovely Weekend

I have had a lovely weekend! Got a lot done. All except for the head-cold that am fighting, it has been a great weekend!

My Grrrl and I went to thrift shops, lunch, and have just enjoyed each others company.

Right now, we are in the Garage (A.K.A.) Crafting Room, and she is sewing, and I am taking a break from wrapping gifts...

I Wonder

If there is a Reiki

candle for energy?

I could sure use it today!

 

 

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

I am dragging a little today. I had a banana at the bus stop, that was my breakfast, and I just had a yogurt... It tasted like garlic... note to self, wash my hands after I put away my bosses Humus, especially before I eat anything!

 

I cleaned up my office a little bit today, and I have much "stuff" to take back home!

 

Last night I stepped, not as much as I usually do, but to be honest, I could not have done more. And this morning, the same thing... I did what I could, but it drained me... I hope that it is just my cycle that is causing this, but I hope that I can snap out of it soon! I have a lot riding on my weight loss!

 

The holidays are fast approaching, and I feel like I have a million sticks in the fire... Is that the correct term? Doesn't feel right... Anyhow, I have a million things that I want to get done, and none of them are especially hard, or lengthy... I just need to clean up the garage a bit, and tackle one at a time.

 

Tonight, I will work on Diane's book, so that I can give it to my mother, and she can finish it. I have had it with her, and her controlling hoarding. Helping My Grrrl go through her trunk this weekend sealed it form me...Seeing all of the stuff that her mother has given her... Why can I not have a normal mother? When my sister moves, and I can finally pull away, and stay away, then where will she be? All alone with her "stuff"...

 

I am lucky that I have My Grrrl's family. Why is it that I can't let myself see and feel that as much as I should?

 

Anyhow, that is enough of that. Tonight, I scrapbook... Today, I look forward to scrap booking! LOL!

Happy October!

 

Yesterday My Grrrl and I went to the Page Pride Festival. It was small, but very nice. I found some neat things, some of the best things were the yummy soaps!

 

I came into work early today to do Kronos, and it is a good thing, there was lots of screwy stuff going on, and it didn't help that my boss did stuff over the weekend, that messed with what I had going on...

 

Anyhow, I am tired, and I want to take a nap! Tonight is the big game between my team and My Grrrls, she is not going to watch the game with me, oh well. I guess I will watch it alone, and step... Her theory is that when she watches the games, her team losses, my team losses just about every game, so it matters not!

 

Today I have already eaten more calories than I should have and I have not even had dinner yet... :/~

 

I better step tonight, however, I might just sit on my booty and crochet while I weep at the game! LOL!

What a day! I learned how to set up a Webinar... Granted, Mario said that this one was simple, and that usually there are wrinkles! Figures that I would sit in on one that was EASY and trouble free!

 

I have joined another weight loss challenge in the Urgent Care! $25.00 buy in...

%5.0 of the money will be awarded at Halloween and the rest at the Christmas party... Interesting... Ill have to start taking what junk food I have hidden in the pantry over there and leave it in their break room each morning! Haha!

 

I have been working on my Yule book. I need to include a "movies to watch" list. Both, those that we have at home, and those that come on TV, and maybe some that we could find on Netflix, etc...

I just want a nice peaceful season this year. I want to be done with it all, but the mailing, by December 3rd. Maybe even the mailing too?

 

Well, I better end it here, much more to get done before I can call it a day!

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

Last night My Grrrl took me to get something to make me feel better. We went to Blue Eagle, and I got Reiki candles. I was not sure it was going to work at first, but if nothing else, I could sit quietly and think. Holy cow... I am not sur how long I sat there, but even Mini knew something was up, when there was a change in me, that I felt, she whined. She knew it too, it was not a scared whine, I feel... It was a good whine, if that makes sense...

 

 

Anyhow, time for a meeting, my bag is much lighter today...

 

I love you my darling...

Still tired, now bummed too... Bad news last night...Sad news last night... My Grrrl took me out to take my mind off it. Donuts and coffee and cookie monster music! Helped in the moment. Blessed to have her in my life, heart and family! :)

Now, I just want to lay down and sleep.

 

Tonight, we are going to go for a walk, hopefully, that will get me back in the swing of things, to feel more energetic...

Monday, September 17th, 2012

It's Monday again. This weekend I had little to NO energy, and it is better today, but not much! I could curl up on the floor an sleep the rest of the day away!

 

The day started with my boss being here, even though she was not supposed to be. trying to get Kronos done, and she was all over the place! She signed off on people that were not done yet, and she was IM'ing me every 5 seconds! Hard to get anything done, when I have to stop, read and answer her!

 

Nonetheless, she is done and out of here, I have finished with a LARGE amount of billing and I am enjoying my left overs of pasta and steak! 

 

I cannot wait to get home tonight and relax with My Grrrl. This weekend I felt so close to her, but like I could not get close enough!

 

Blessed Be!

Feel better than yesterday, but only enough to take my lunches for the week to work and get good ice! Soon, it will be back to bed, was watching my game, but that only makes me feel worse ;)

Having some intestinal distress, but Monday is Kronos day, so I cannot be out. Tuesday, my boss will be out for religious reasons...maybe I can be allowed to be sick by Wednesday? Lol!

Last night we had a lovely stew! Tonight, well, those kinds of things are ALWAYS better the second night, so I am excited, because it was pretty darn good last night! We are adding green chili to it tonight! Yum! I hope that I feel like eating by then! :/

Blessed Be!

Yesterday, Robert and I had to walk 1.8 miles from where the bus broke down to where My Grrrl picked us up. It was awesome! He and I were having a good time, nice talk, and we almost didn't want her to pick us up!
Then, My Grrrl and I went to Savers, found some sheets for use in her next blanket.
We were going to go to the parade this morning, but I was so tired, don't feel all that well. She didn't want to go either, but she was gong to because I wanted to go! How sweet... Anyhow, we both decided to go back to bed, an I am so glad we did. Even sitting here at the kitchen table, while she prepares things for the crock pot, I am beat!
To tired to crochet? To tired to be alive I think!
Rob is with my sister today, and the girls are on the couch watching Netflix. We are going to see Nana later, and then I am going back to bed!
Blessed Be!

THREE THINGS IN LIFE -

THINGS YOU CAN INFLUENCE

THINGS YOU CAN CHANGE

THINGS YOU CANNOT CHANGE, DEAL WITH

 

Freya's Day, September 14th, 2012

Last night was the candle lighting ceremony, "Honoring with candle light the spirits of the dead".

 

My Grrrl lite two. I lite three, one for my grandfather, one for my father, and one for my uncle Danny. It was nice. My grandfathers was the same color as I remember his pajamas being. My fathers was my favorite color, since he always wanted me to do what made me happy, he never told me what to do...Uncle Danny's was white, because I don't have any negative associated with him, he is pure in my eyes. Despite what my mom may try to tell me... Who cares if he smoked pot? If a war, I don't blame him, besides... Glass houses and all...

 

Anyhow, this morning, there were three Hot Air Balloons in the sky, there are usually some, more than today,or less... I always take them as a "hi" from one person or another, or no one in particular.today, I know it was them all saying thank you, or hello...

 

That makes me happy. No other "religion" has made me feel this way...

 

Blessed Be!

Middle English fridai
Old English frigedæg "Freya's day"
composed of Frige (genetive singular of Freo) + dæg "day" (most likely)
or composed of Frig "Frigg" + dæg "day" (least likely)
Germanic frije-dagaz "Freya's (or Frigg's) day"
Latin dies Veneris "Venus's day"
Ancient Greek hemera Aphrodites "day of Aphrodite"

Freo is identical with freo, meaning free. It is from the Germanic frijaz meaning "beloved, belonging to the loved ones, not in bondage, free".

Freya (Fria) is the Teutonic goddess of love, beauty, and fecundity (prolific procreation). She is identified with the Norse god Freya. She is leader of the Valkyries and one of the Vanir. She is confused in Germany with Frigg.

Frigg (Frigga) is the Teutonic goddess of clouds, the sky, and conjugal (married) love. She is identified with Frigg, the Norse goddess of love and the heavens and the wife of Odin. She is one of the Aesir. She is confused in Germany with Freya.

Venus is the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

Aphrodite (Cytherea) is the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

Woden's Day, September 12th, 2012

What a crazy day! Stayed up late. Woke up early, got ready... Go out to leave early... FLAT TIRE... So flat that leaving it as it until I got home form work was not an option. Called AAA. They came, changed the tire. Then, as luck would have it, my sister saw my post on Facebook and offered to drive us to the bus stop. Still made it to work earlier than normal, but not as early as I had hoped. I am proud to say that I think that I handled it well.

 

First of all, when I went out the first time. I saw the moon's reflection in our bedroom window, the one that faces the courtyard, it was very pretty, as if the moon was greeting me. That was nice!

I didn't panic, I did think about just calling in, but couldn't do that, not in my own head at least... I did say a little louder than I would have liked

"You've got to be kidding me!!!"

 

Anyhow, I got to work in plenty of time to take minutes at the meeting, and I was able to get my flu shot. I cut my finger on a fish hook when I was getting the tire out, so I have an appt in 25 minutes to get my tetanus and my pertussis vaccine. Not looking forward to that... Those hurt more and I already got the flu in my right arm, which I would think that means that I cannot get the other shot there, and you should get that shot in an arm that you move a lot, to help the soreness... Oh bother! Oh well, me and My Grrrl are going to go swimming tonight, AFTER we get the tire fixed.... Send positive thoughts that it doesn't break me to take care of it!

 

Blessed Be!

WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

 

Friday evening there was drama. Long story short, My Grrrls brother can be a DB! Mostly at his wife's command.

 

 

Saturday, the kids and I went over to my sisters house to clean, and clean, and clean... We spent 5.5 hours, and I am STILL SORE!!!! Saturday night, My Grrrl and I went out to explore the new(er) Goodwill. It was not anything to writ home about. Not very impressive at all! Then, to dinner at Denny's. I didn't finish even half of my food and I WAS STUFFED! Then, we went to the Spirit store. I cannot believe that I have never been in one of those! It was awesome!

 

 

Sunday, the kids and I went to visit Nana when we dropped Cara off at work. We watched the Bears game, they won! We watched the Broncos game that evening, they won too.

 

 

Tried to go to bed early, but I never can seem to pull that off! LOL

 

 

This weekend, I did step, and I did clean, but I have my cycle right now, and I feel so run down. Maybe there is a 4th week into a diet plunge and that is what is wrong with me?! Why do I refuse to believe that CLEANING all day is kicking my butt so badly!?

 

Anyhow, not it is Monday, and I am having my lunch! Trying to have a healthy LITE meal... The spinach garden wrap has 210 calories! The cheese is light, so it is like 60 calories, and the 93% lean meat (with taco seasoning and onions) the best that I can guess, is like 300 something calories! So much for lite! Heathy, yes, lite, NOT SO MUCH!

 

 

I did work on my crochet over the weekend. Got back into the blanket that I am making for My Grrrl. I have decided that I am going to try VERY hard to get it done THIS SEASON (as in Football season!)

 

 

I feel like I have more to say, but I really can't think of anything to say.... I am mentally worn out as well as physically!

 

Blessed Be!

OMG, this meeting is dragging on and on. There is still 1:45 in this meeting. I am so tired, and my legs are killing me! That is good that I stepped so much that the back of my calves are screaming. I think that it is from the stepping forward from the platform...

I am tired, I have not started my cycle, and I have never said this before, but I am wishing that I would start, because then I will get over this and get back to normal. I also have that PMS "I'm starving" thing going on. I also have the "I have PMS, I deserve this piece of indian bread with swiss cheese on it!"...

I know that we are not going to swim tonight, and I doubt that a walk is in our future... Tomorrow I am going to help my sister get her house ready to move back in... I think that tonight, I will go to bed early, EARLY, and start fresh tomorrow. Hoping that I am not dragging tomorrow!

Blessed Be!

Our Misfits

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

Last night the Cowboys beat the Giants! WOOHOO!

 

Last night, we had a frozen pizza. I cannot eat like that anymore! I also had Pita chips and Laughing Cow Light Swiss! YUMMY! Then, after dinner, instead of watching the game, because we do better when I don't watch, I stepped. My Grrrl fixed the step thing that my sister gave the kids and I use, stole, whatever... it was in my office, and then it broke, so yesterday My Grrrl picked me, and it up, and she fixed it, and I stepped my tush off! I made myself sick actually.

 

This morning, I got up early and I didn't feel like going down to do The Biggest Looser, so I stepped in our room, in the dark, not in as much silence as I had hoped, but I tried to keep it down... My Grrrl woke up at one point, but she said it was not me that woke her, but she was not sure what the noise was... I only did 30 minutes, and since I did not push myself, I only credited myself 25 minutes.

 

Just the difference between that little Wii board, and the, what 3 inches, on the stepper, KICKED MY BOOTY!!!

 

I weighed myself this morning... I am happy to say that I am the same as I was on weigh in on Sunday morning. That is good because I pigged out this weekend! Splurged for my birthday, the ENTIRE WEEKEND, just about!

 

I need to ramp up the exercise, and slow down on the junk food! Back to the healthy food!

 

Anyhow, that is all for now, I forgot my scarf templet at home, I hope, and I am not sure how many lines of blue to do... I also got WAY MORE done on the bus than I thought that I would, so I won't have any to do on the bus. Oh well. If I have to, I will print a new templet, if I can find one that matches what I have started. Not a big deal if it really does... It is a Dr. Who scarf, I have not seen two same patterns, and from what I can tell, it doesn't really matter!  Different Dr.'s, different scarves! LOL!

 

My allergy eyes are bugging me... I am feeling more energetic today than yesterday, but less than I wish I was...I think that if we go swimming tonight, that would go a LONG way to getting back on level... Even a walk would be nice, especially if it rains tonight! Not in the foothills if it rains!

 

 

Blessed Be!

Well, yesterday I had a lovely birthday. My Grrrl took me out to lunch at Little Anita's. Yummy! Then we went to Saver's and shopped. I found an awesome outfit! :) Then over to Target to get a movie and power strip for Gramma. Went to see Gramma. We didn't go swimming, we wussed out. :( More like, tired out!

 

We watched Five Year Engagement. It was good, it had Emily Blunt in it, so I love it...it was kind of predictable, and not as good as I hoped, but it was a Romantic Comedy, and I am more of a Harry Potter, Hunger Games kinda girl I have come to realize!

 

Today, life, and all that goes along with it, is kickin' my butt. I have a small Red Bull in my fridge, but I am too bloated right now to drink it!

 

I have been plugging away at work stuff, but most of it is so mindless that I have been able to watch an episode and a half of Voyager. Lovin' this show!

 

My poor boss has had a really hard few weeks and last night was the worst of it for her. I feel so sorry for her, and I want to beat up the person that is causing her pain... I am somewhat worried about her as well...Leaving an abusive relationship is always the most dangerous part, and this guy may not have hit her (yet) but he is abusive. She deserves better and while I am not among her close friends, I hope that she knows that I am here for her...

 

My Grrrl told me that she signed up to be a foster family for dogs today. I have to admit that while I am a bit hesitant about messes, I am more hesitant about getting attached to the little stinkers! I am excited more than anything. This will change things up, on a somewhat regular basis it seems! Once the kids are gone, we can foster more and more. Especially if we live in a nice place out kinda far in the country!

 

Well, I better get back to it!

 

Blessed Be!

The Day After Labor Day!

This weekend was very productive. I had a minor meltdown on Friday night. Saturday we went to go see Nana that was nice :-) . That afternoon and evening we rearranged our bedroom! We got to have Dion's for dinner because we really earned it!

Sunday and Monday we mostly rested. I got a little bit of crochet done. All in all it was a nice weekend.

We had a birthday party at my moms house on Sunday. She served little laughing cow cheese and crackers with Apple and vegetables. It was very nice!

Oh , yeah, and today is my birthday. My wonderful wife is picking me up early and we are going to lunch together! Wonderful!

Blessed Be!

Today I am wearing a skirt that I have not fit into for a while! That makes me happy! My back hurts from swimming, and it is not the good hurt from a work out, it is more like I slept wrong or something. My Grrrl is in pain today too, hurt herself swimming too. Wow, swimming is dangerous, who knew! I mean, besides the possible drowning, or having to swim next to a pervy guy... LOL!

 

Toady work was going OK, until some of the ladies decided to see how much sh*t they could get away with, and I didn't catch all of it... I am not being blamed, by anyone but me... I swear, I feel like a teacher that has to watch a group of trouble makers to the point where it distracts me from my real job! I mean seriously ladies, you are adults, you are professionals... ACT LIKE IT... Don't try and see what all you can get away with. I don't have the time for it... I have a scarf to crochet! LOL. No, but seriously, I have a scarf to work on...

 

Anyhow, that is all for now. I need to empty one tank and fill the other ;)

 

Blessed Be!

Last night we went swimming. This morning I got up early to do the Biggest Looser. I am not as sore as I should, or want to be. Tonight, we will go swimming again, and tomorrow I will do the Biggest Looser again. I have traded off days with Cara, and that is just fine with me. However, I think that my body is going to wake up at 5:00 each day anyhow, so I will have to come up with something else to do while she has the living room... Weights in the garage? Yule crafts in the garage? Maybe? Yesterday morning, I watched the end of Friends with Benefits... I enjoy that movie...

 

I am looking forward to the long weekend, however, I wish that it was going to be cooler, because I don't want to be sweltering the whole flippin weekend! LOL

 

Blessed Be!

Can't turn off my mind

Got some news of possible things to come... Not for sure, by any means, but I can't stop thinking about it... Mostly I hate waiting to know for sure, and if it doesn't happen, I'll be disappointed. I have to work on that....

Monday. August 27th, 2012

Today is the last Monday in August! Not sure why that registered, but it did! I think it might be that my "shark week" is close, and so I am starving, that is why I noticed!

 

Today has been an interesting day so far, and I still have 2 hours! I have been doing good on my eating tody, but as I said, I AM STARVING! I hope that there is something yummy for dinner!

 

We are going swimming tonight, I am excited about that too!

 

I found some pictures of Martenslinde today! I found a church that says it is in Martenslinde. It looks familiar, and it is a darn shame that I will never see any of the pictures that my mother has of the village, since she is a selfish hoarder... That is worse that just a hoarder, she is a selfish one at that...

 

I might have some in the pictures that I found at Grammas in May? I will look later, it is worth a try!

 

I better go now, lots to do!

 

Blessed Be!

Today is my Aunt's surgery. I know in my heart that she will be alright, but I am still worried. My Dad told My Grrrl that she would be fine...My Dad died almost 6 years ago... This morning, he told me that he would be with my Aunt, so I am OK, kinda...

 

I am tired and sore... I worked out yesterday morning, and went for a nice easy hike yesterday. I am SO sore. Not giving up!

 

Not much to blog about today, a lot on my mind, so I really don't have anything I can get out.

 

That is all for today, if I hear about my Aunt, I will post that...

Holy Cow! Got up super early, did the Wii Biggest Looser... sweat like a crazy woman! It was harder today than last time. I need to make it a habit, and I need to keep track of what I am doing each time, making sure that I don't do the same thing each time...Today I did Core, Cool Down, and Yoga. Same as last time... Can't think now of what else there is.

 

Today's lunch will be half of my left over sammach, or maybe the noodles anc chunky soup that is left over? Hmm... We will see what strikes my fancy. It is 30 minutes until lunch, I took my diet pill, and I am STARVING!

 

Today has ben a busy day of boring things... I hope that we go for a walk tonight. I hope that the weather is nice again tonight, like it was yesterday :)

 

I better go get some more ice for my water. Working on glass number 5 of water, and I have needed to fill up and empty my tank a few times!

 

Tomorrow is my Aunt's surgery. I am worried, but I know that she will be OK, I am more worried about my Gramma. I hope that I can make it work to go there for New Years. I guess that I better put in for the time off...

I love that I can't wait to plan our next go at healthy meals!

Got the productivity done! WOOHOO!

 

Hunger Games comes out at midnight, need a nap before that goes down!

 

Need to visit the ladies...

 

Today is my "Cheat" day, on my diet... I have had my quota of water...

 

I have spent the day watching 9/11 documentaries. The first two were about conspiracies... This one is about all of the good that was done by ordinary citizens... I like this one best, it is not trying to scare me, it is not making me sad(der than thinking about 9/11 makes me any ways...) it is uplifting... mostly.

 

That is all for now.

 

Blessed Be!
