It's Wednesday and I have so much to do. Emails to respond to (I promise I will!!...evenetually...), book reviews to catch up on - got 4 done so far, those I've read recently basically - and thoughts to put to screen.
Oh and I decided I really do need to go through my old writings and organize it and maybe finish the damn thing and be able to maybe write a book on my sociopathic mother. Wouldn't that be enjoyable to read, ahem, maybe I could turn it into some vampire psychological thriller - because I she was a bit of a vampire. She would certainly suck the joy out of life easily enough. AND, vampires like head games and that was up her alley too. Hmmm...it's an idea. I wonder, if I/someone could write the SAME story, just told in different genres?? Real Life mets Fantasy/Urban/Horror/etc ... and how many stories could be done that way? That *almost* sounds like Scientology. I said, ALMOST. I mean, it's not a hard leap to go from science fiction to fantasy (I mean religion).
Work has actually kept me busy this week. It's bloody miracle to say the least. It's nice and annoying at the same time.
I do think I need to get my IT certifications. Perhaps that will be my goal to be completed in the next 6 months. A+ and Network+ and hopefully Security+. Oh joys! but then it will be easier (I hope) to get a permanent job, or at least a contract that will last longer than a year.
I just in a book from the library, L.E.Modesitt Jr's Imager Battalion. I am so excited, love reading his books. And it's THICK which always makes a girl happy.
~wink wink~
Today is going to be a LONG day though. And I am already feeling a headache coming on. Blah, stupid head.
Hmmm, trying to think. Don't you hate it when you have "thoughts" and you think those would be great thoughts to put on your blog later on and of course you must remember those thoughts and there is no need/availability to write them down, and then you're blogging and you just KNOW there is stuff you wanted to share with all of your 16 viewers but damn it, what were those damn thoughts. ARGH. It's quite frustrating. It happens to me waaaaaay too often.
At some point I will be smart and open my handy dandy blogger phone app and type in the title at least or some blurb and save to draft. That would be the *smart* thing to do. I don't want to be smart it seems. Stupid smartness. I'm gonna kick it's ass one day.
So, the husband is doing good with losing weight (not fair) and will be joining the gym soon which is good. I know exercise for me can be a huge stress relief. I am still the same old weight. I feel like Eyore...same old thing, nothing to do about, may as well just lay here since the weight won't change. Yeah, so. I am thinking of cutting down my food items a little itty bit more. Mainly dinner. I am thinking of taking 1/3 of the portions off. Oh and I must stop pretending to exercise and actually doing it. Stair/steps in my head does not burn calories sadly. Stupid calories. I am looking forward to spring (a little over a month away? Surely I jest) and hope that the weather is warm enough I can get back to biking on a regular basis. Which means I should start stretching my knees/leg muscles now and at least be slightly more limber. Because, this stocky and barely moved legs are just doing oh so well.
Which reminds me, I should probably shave them. It's been like a month or 2 since I've done that. I miss waxing. I really, really want to go and get waxed. SPRING TIME, I will do this. When I actually wear shorts and skirts and things that show my legs. But I like getting waxed. I hate shaving. I will need to budget this somehow. Stupid shaved legs suck.
OK, I'm gonna go hide now and look busy while I'm doing it. Trust me, this is an art form.
Looks like the writing bug is going around. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely hate it when I think of things to write, don't jot a note, and forget to write about them altogether. Once upon a time I was better at setting up drafts, but I've gotten completely out of the habit. So then I sign onto my blog because I feel like babbling, and... eh. You'd think I could AT LEAST scratch something down on a post-it note, or something. No go! *Shakes head* (Smartness is way overrated.)
I'm trying to work on the eating healthy thing. I really am. But when I forget to eat altogether (way too often)? I just keep shooting myself in the foot. Speaking of which, I should probably look into some lunch... >.>
Oh, gods. You WAX?! No, no... NO, no, no... *Shakes head violently* How do you DO it?! I'm terrified of waxing. Too many movies about people jumping so high they fall off the table and injure themselves... Stick me with needles, tat me for hours on end, punch me in the gut... but rip my hair out? I think maybe no. Lol. I wish you luck in your waxing endeavors, though!
This writing bug, I think, will be a good thing :D
DeleteEating healthy can be a bitch, and an expensive bitch sometimes too. It's really hard to be healthy on a budget, sadly. I really, really want a fucking garden (wait, that would be interesting, a "fucking garden" ahem...sex on the brain I guess this morning). I want fresh veggies and stuff.
Yes, waxing! YES, YES YES. Heehee. If I shave, my upper thighs and bikini area = bumps, icky ingrown hairs sometimes and it's just NOT PRETTY. Waxing, however? Ahhh, pretty and smooth and I like that. Waxing my legs, that doesn't bother me too much. Bikini area, yeah I can deal with that as well with a couple deep breaths. Upper lip (where the lady sometimes would attack my nose (dont ask, please)) = eye watering, but still liveable. I totally would treat myself to some ice cream afterwards if I really needed it. Or a glas or 3 of wine. Yep, been tat'd for hours as well, and waxing was not that bad. After the 1st time, it gets easier. Oh, wait, just like sex. LOLOL
I need to save up my $$$ for a good wax session ;)
Yay, writing bugs! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know? Eating healthy IS expensive! I know that getting fresh stuff is supposedly cheaper, but let's face it...when you have to throw out half your produce because you didn't get to it in time? It's not saving you money. And when you can sit down and have a box of mac and cheese for less than a buck? Why IS that, anyway? So rotten. I think that food and the food industry is one place we can look to for examples of failed systems. But that's a big topic, so I won't go hijacking your blog. >.< (Sorry. The expense of healthy food is a pet peeve of mine...)
Oh, boy... I don't know. Maybe I could give the waxing thing a shot at some point. And I do dislike those bumps... I've also heard that once you wax for awhile, when your hair DOES grow in, it's way softer and nicer. That probably wouldn't be a bad thing. Watering eyes and the like... Yes. There'd be a bottle of something waiting at home to take the edge off. Lol
:^)
DeleteIt's one of mine as well. I drive the husband crazy with it sometimes. But I have at least gotten both him and my son into the habit (for the most part that is) to read the labels and at least avoid things with HFCS (ok, except my Arizona Green Tea, that stays), Red Dye 40 and assorted other things that I hate. I am now not getting the kid gatorade anymore either. Ugh. You know, if bread and water tasted like chocolate and soda, life would be so much simpler!! And, yes it is a big topic and I don't mind you hijacking my blog. Hey, if you wanted, you could write a guest blog anytime you want :D
If you do, don't do the brazilian first time! See my old post ;)

Also, if you do go for a bikini at some point, TRIM FIRST. I will have to relate to you later about the time I was on vacation in CA and yeah...ummm...TRIM FIRST lol.
I like waxing because I don't have to shave as often (winter does not count as I barely shave in winter), the hairs are thinner when they do grow, no uglies. And I get to drink and be happy afterwards :D
Oh, yes! We've cut a lot of processed stuff out of our diets, but we still have a ways to go. Drinks are the worst! I mean, people get the flavored sparkling water and whatnot to do better, and that stuff can almost be worse! It's crazy! (I do love taking seltzer and a bit of fruit juice and mixing them, though. That's pretty tasty. And not so bad with the right fruit juice!)
DeleteI'll definitely need to get the full set of tips and tricks if I ever aim to do the waxing thing. I have considered it on occasion as a *ahem* gift, but I've never gone through with it. Maybe I'll think about it for the upcoming birthday... Hm...
Also, I'm the worst with shaving. I wear pants all year long, so it's kind of like, "why bother?" Which isn't very nice of me because (although he never complains) I think Hubby really does like it better when my legs are nice and smooth. It's such a pain, though!
Yeah, it kinda cracks me up with something "healthy" is worse for you than McDonald's. I know that those in the Organic industry are *trying* to make things better, but when the big ass company's have major $$$ and lobbyists, it's hard for the good things to actually happen. It seems to all come down to money. Ugh. Does a CEO REALLY NEED that much of a fucking paycheck/bonus? Really?
DeleteWell, I think the biggest thing is finding someone who knows what they're doing. If it's some young girl, probably not as experiences as the old chinese lady that does mine. It's a good idea to zone into pleasant thoughts and take deep breaths. Do not ever attempt to do it yourself. TRUST ME. Not easy, doesn't work.
Yeah, for the most part I wear pants. I am trying to wear more dresses and skirts. So winter time, I don't really shave unless the hubby is wanting it. Afterwards, I usually need a new razor blade LOL. It is a pain. But I'd rather have more sex and do interesting things in the bedroom than not shave ;) Ahem. Spring through Fall I shave more often, and I am tired of it! Thus me wanting to get waxed every 5 weeks.
