Breakfast:
Oikos Raspberry Yogurt (I freaking love this stuff. It's like, heaven. in my mouf)
Coffee with caramel creamer
Lunch:
1 egg "omelet" (since it's kind of hard to make an omelet with 1 egg)
sprinkle of pepper jack cheese
I am a still feeling hungry after lunch, at least my stomach is gurgling. We'll see if I do anything about this.
Dinner: We unexpectedly were invited over to my parents house for
Chicken stir fry (very small serving)
white rice (really TINY serving)
and an egg roll. and that egg roll was the bomb dot com.
Snacks: 3 Ak-Mak crackers with 1/2 of a (very small) avocado - YUM! and a sprinkle of lemon juice and salt/pepper
"Lala" brand (this really exists!) yogurt smoothie
It's 7pm. I have a HUGE CRAVING for a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. I have no idea why. I don't eat bread (and we don't have any) but dude.

Moving
No, not the blog....but ME and the SCALE.
I am finally losing again. I got a fill last Monday, and for the first few days felt barfy from me, but that seems to have gone away.
I am almost done with my antibiotics (1 more pill today for two of them, then a few more days of the 3rd one)
I actually... exercised today. It's a miracle. (Seriously, it is)
I did my 1 mile "Walk away the Pounds" Dvd (this one ) and thought I was going to die during it. I didn't do all of the hand move movements (not that coordinated) or used the weighted blue balls (HA!HA!) and I have a hard time walking in place. It's so boring and the lady is annoying, so I turned her down and a new playlist UP and when walking in place got too boring, I just jogged or walked around the living room. Not bad.
Playlist for today (since I only did 1 mile) was
Big Time - Peter Gabriel
Bust your windows - Glee
Titanium - David Gueatta
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
Beat it - Michael Jackson
I'm still breathing hard (I have been sick for a while, since like September so I haven't worked out at all) but I feel good!
Time for lunch...I think. an egg. eggciting!

Ten Things Thursday - the running late editon
I am telling the story of my last few days as a TTT post. because I can. neener.
1. So, I am sick. I have an infection (which was caused my something that is not my fault and that I have no control of - I don't want to talk about why I have it. too hard) anyway, I've been taking antibiotics since Monday. They called to see how I was yesterday and I said I felt worse and I had a fever.....
2. So then they say, okay, if you still feel like crap tomorrow, call us and we'll call in a script for stronger antibiotics. I call, tell them I feel EVEN WORSE - the pain, and now I have a fever and chills.
3. They say - oh! you have to come in to the office now - but we don't have an appointment available for hours! (well, it snowed like 15 thousand inches today and I wasn't happy about this - and my husband had to go to work, so I made arrangements for Mom to take me, and packed a bag since I'd probably be at her house over night because of all of the snow)
4. Then the Dr office calls back AGAIN and says, oops - don't come in, we're going to call in those stronger meds. so I wait, and wait, and call the pharmacy and guess what? they don't get called in, and by now my husband has to go to work in less than an hour.
5. Finally, script is ready but I can't take it because I can't get to the pharmacy (I had my husband pick it up on the way to work) and anyway, they told me on the phone to start it in the morning (this is key, morning)
6. So they CALL BACK AGAIN AND TELL ME TO START TAKING IT TONIGHT. wtf???!!
7. and you know what? I still feel like crap. I feel worse than I did when I went in on Monday. and my pain meds suck donkey balls. they don't work at all. meh,
8. In other news, I still have to freaking work so I can pay these stupid dr bills.
9. Good news is that I just made a deal with one of my clients to trade for something I really want.
10. and the backdrop company I use often sells a backdrop (they are very nice, printed on vinyl, and have both photorealistic images and digitally created artwork) that's...newspapers. all stuck up willy nilly on a wall. these backdrops are $100.
Why couldn't people just, I don't know...buy a newspaper and some tape for $1.50 and stick them to a wall?? Are people actually BUYING this backdrop? how much are they going to use it?? NEWSPAPERS????!!

aha.
Well, I know what's wrong with me now and where all of my pain is coming from.
It's pretty personal so I'm not going into details, but I have to take a ton of meds to hopefully cure it. If it doesn't get better, I have to go to the hospital for IV meds. Fun times!! (and it's unexplained how I got it, but it's not uncommon for someone with my kind of female problems to get it)
I am actually feeling more positive and feel I can get through this.
I am so happy this Dr. was able to diagnose it. I could have hugged her (this was the FOURTH time I had been to the Dr. for this pain problem.)
I also was happy to see that I lost 10 lbs between 12/14/12 and 1/7/13 - they told me at my appointment.
I also made an appointment to have a fill next Monday.
I can do this!!!!!

slowly...slowly
I have been bad at blogging, but I HAVE been (mostly) tracking my food and I have been losing!
In September, I was 244.6
By November, I was back UP to 256
I really didn't think I changed my eating habits that much. I was in pain so I didn't exercise, but I was really busy with work.
(after thinking about it, I was eating A LOT of sunflower seeds, and graham crackers with butter. mmmm. but I cut both out of my diet before Christmas)
I didn't get it because I could fit into smaller and smaller pants, I even have size 18's and 20's that I'm wearing now - it makes no sense.
Anyway. I'm back to 246 today. Just a little more before I'm back to where I started. I'm making an appointment today for a fill too. (Grr. they are at lunch. all 4 receptionists and everyone gets to take lunch at the exact SAME TIME??)
Now, time to make a scrambled egg. I eat a egg with cheese every.single.freaking.day for breakfast (and 1 cup of coffee with creamer) - I'm tired of it, but it works. I need to come up with another high-ish protein breakfast, because I am egged out.
Today I get to go back to see the Dr about my pelvic pain that he thinks is a hernia (actually, I am going to see the nurse since the doc isn't available AND he's more expensive) - I really am annoyed with this pain. It hurts when I wake up, it hurts when I have to pee, it hurts at bedtime, and it hurts in spasms throughout the day. They say it's a hernia, and want me to talk to my Lap-band dr about it (as he also fixes hernias) but I can't afford surgery to fix it. It sucks.
sigh.
(Also forgot, one of my photography clients is a Mommy Fitness Guru - she teaches all sorts of classes to Mom's but I never felt I could sign up and go because I wasn't a Mom and it make me annoyed. Anyway, she gave me some DVD's of workouts to do, and some stretchy bands to get my started - and then I can do it at home and I won't have to answer the "oh, how old are YOUR kids??" question that everyone asks me. Because everyone assumes. meh. but she's nice and I think understands why I have never signed up)

Resolutions
I don't usually make New Year's Resolutions but this year they are:
Lose 20 lbs. I know that seems low, but seeing how slowly weight comes off of me, this works for me.
At least 20 min of exercise a day - working up to more.
Take photos of every day life, every day, and not worrying if they are "artistic" or how I'm going to be judged on them.
Organize our Garage, my stepsons Room and our office.
Spend more time with my friends.

Green-Eyed
It's not really a secret that I am jealous of my Stepson's Mom. I mean, she got to have a child with the man I love, and the child that I love calls HER Mom, she's the goddess, she's the perfect amazing one - to him.
Today my stepson asked to put together a "Mystery" Lego Mini Figure he had gotten in his stocking from Santa Claus at our house (on a side note, we had a great Christmas with him. When we picked him up on Christmas Day afternoon, he was a little melancholy - it turns out they hung stockings at Mom's house, but Santa didn't come/fill them, and he was sad. I totally get that some families do not "do" Santa, and that's cool, but I think it's mean to hang stockings/talk about Santa coming, then not follow through.anyway...)
The minifigure turned out to be a Fairy, and I jokingly told him that he should give it to me (as I love and collect Fairies) and he said NO I AM GIVING IT TO MY MOM.
So, I said no.
and of course, he got upset and started crying and threw himself on the floor.
I have to admit - my feelings were hurt. Everything is for Mom. Every drawing. Every craft project. Every trinket from the arcade. ALWAYS.
I told him I said no because there is a rule in the agreement that toys do not transfer houses. but I really said no because it broke my heart.
sigh.

Happy New Year!
(If anyone every reads this, you can see that I edit it throughout the day, then finish it up and republish at night. A weird way to blog, I guess, but it's working for me)
I woke up in my warm snuggly bed (my husband wasn't in it, he was sleeping on the couch because my Stepson is here and he wanted to make sure he could care for him if he woke up. aw) with two of my cats lying on me, purring away. I could see that it was snowing out our bedroom window, and I had enough charge on the ipad to fool around on FB and relax for a little while. It was nice.
I got up and made coffee and breakfast for my husband and Son. They requested...Pop Tarts. Now, I never buy Pop Tarts (even if THEY like them) because I like them (well, the fruit ones)...but we had them in the house so that's what I "made" (toasted?). I threw an inner fit because I CAN'T HAVE POPTARTS! or TOAST (well, I can never have toast, because I don't buy bread) or French Toast. or waffles. or pancakes (all of them get stuck)
sigh. I guess I'll make myself...an egg.
(then I threw another fit because I asked my husband to bathe the kid, and he came out asking me if my Bath and body works lotion was the kid shampoo. what the heck? gah. so it's not even noon on the first day of the year and I yelled at my husband. Great start, Lala. Amazing. not)
We took the kid out to shop for clothes (used ones at the thrift store) because I am tired of buying him clothes, then for some reason or another, he ends up going home in them, and we never get them BACK. So if he doesn't have his own clothes to put on, he will go home in these. and I marked them with our name)
Sigh. I am craving...CRUNCHIES. Sunflower seeds...popcorn...either would do - I broke down and had some popcorn but I still want...crunchies. or sour candy. I drank 3 bottles of water and had a huge glass of iced tea instead.
Breakfast:
Coffee
Scrambled egg with cheddar cheese
slice of bacon
Lunch:
2 chicken nuggets
9 french fries (yes, I COUNTED)
mango smoothie (small) This took me about 1.5 hours to drink, I didn't really drink it with my food.
Dinner:I was going to have a taco, but I was too lazy to make it. so no dinner.
Snack: popcorn, small slice of cheese
2 squares of chocolate
Weight: 247
Exercise: 20 min of the Wii Just Dance. and I'm pooped out :-(

New year's Eve
Yes. I need a new year. because I am breaking up with 2012.
Crazy day today, my parents are coming over to celebrate the new year. I'm cooking mexican food and drinking mango margaritas and crying.
Fun times!
I was so anxious and upset today I had no appetite.
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: well, around 3:30 my stomach started rumbling so I ate some cheese.
Snack: (?) mango margarita!
Dinner: Taco salads
taco meat (beef)
taco bowl made from flour tortilla
lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole
I was only able to eat half.
1/2 a piece of Angel food cake with whipped cream
Small amount of popcorn
some chocolate
Some chips and guac
Myfitnesspal says around 1500 calories (but I tracked ALL of the taco salad and didn't eat it all)
Protein: 60
Weight: 247

I had a fun fun morning hangin' with my Banded buddies, having coffee :-) We're planning to go do something active and fun together soon too, so I am excited for that.
Breakfast: Coffee at Starbucks
Lunch: Protein Shake - the same peach/banana/strawberry/spinach one with "Greens and whey" protein powder that I had yesterday (The frozen fruit blend is by Dole - I REALLY like it, but it's kind of spendy. I can get like 4-5 shakes out of 1 bag though. The Greens and Whey Protein powder is by Biochem. I actually really like it, but I have to mix it with fruit)
Snack: 8 peanut butter filled pretzels (we were at my parents house. they have dangerous goodies there!!!)
Dinner: Mom made MEATLOAF (I love her meatloaf)
I had about 2 oz of that
small serving of mashed potatoes
small serving of corn
1/2 of a cresent roll with butter (ohhhhh...yummy. but I can only eat a bite)
1/2 chocolate chip cookie
Right now - 1000 calories
Protein: 51
Not sure if I am going to have anything else today. I'm not hungry right now but I always crave popcorn. We're having my parents and Godson (my friends family can't come after all) for New years so I'm cleaning like a busy bee and planning the menu for tomorrow.

Another day after a NICE sleep. This going to bed at a normal time is feeling awesome. I wonder why I never went to be early before?? haha
The babymama picked up my Stepson, and I took my Godson home (both have been visiting for Christmas vacation) and while I love them to PIECES, it's nice to have a day of quiet. Especially listening to them play Laser Tag (it was a gift from Santa Claus, exactly what they asked for, and it's LOUD. but it's fun. I might have played with it) and have Lightsaber duels.
Today we are going to see "Les Miserables"!! I am stoked!!! (and it was awesome!!)
Food today
Breakfast:
Scrambled egg with ham and cheese - I ate most of it
Coffee
Lunch:
Popcorn at the movies - with butter. yikes!
Snack after movies: slice of cheese
1/4 cup of sunflower seeds (and now I am OUT so I am not buying more)
5 raisins
Dinner: Protein Shake
Dole Pre-cut fruit (Peach, Banana, Strawberry)
Spinach
"Greens and Whey" Protein power (Bio-Chem)
Water
Calories: 1500 (dang popcorn)
Protein: 59
Not more food tonight, I get to have water (and I am out of diet coke, except for the cup that was left over from the movies - not buying any more diet coke either)
Tomorrow I get to clean the house since on New Year's Eve we have my Stepson (Insert Shocked face here) and My parents, Godson and maybe my Bestie and her Husband/kids are coming over. We're making Taco Salads, watching Big Bang Theory (Obsessed. I got seasons 3,4 and 5 for Christmas) and playing board games while the kiddles play in the other room. Fun times!

We're making Taco Salads, watching Big Bang Theory (Obsessed. I got seasons 3,4 and 5 for Christmas) and playing board games while the kiddles play in the other room. Fun times!

Menu/what I ate 12/28/12
I started off today in a pretty good mood - I actually went to bed before midnight (that never happens) so I got some good sleep in.
My Godson (staying over for Christmas break) wanted cinnamon rolls for breakfast. then I ate one (BAD LALA!)
I'm feeling good, back to work now (at least computer work) and watching Pitch Perfect over and over because it makes me happy.
Breakfast:Cinnamon Roll and Skim Milk (1 cup)
Two cups of coffee with Caramel macchiato creamer
Snack: 1/4 cup sunflower seeds in shell
4 Starburst jellybeans
Lunch: Shrimp with cocktail sauce (I make it - ketchup, horseradish and lemon juice. I don't like pre-made)
Dinner: well, lunch was at 3pm so I didn't eat dinner.
Snack: light butter popcorn and a slice of pepper jack cheese (trying SO hard not to crave this!)
Calories: 1170
Protein: 41
Sugar: 42 (YIKES! working on that)

Starting over.
It's been almost 1 year since I started this journey (in January of 2011 "officially") and I'm only down 36 lbs.
I'm frustrated.
I am almost never hungry, but then the Grumpy Beast (TM) comes out later in the day, and I become what my darling husband calls "Hulk Smash Angry"
I just don't feel like eating most of the time, and when I do, it's not the best choices.
I've tried to stay High protein, but I couldn't tell you the last time I ate a salad or cooked veggies at home. I do get fruit in my protein shakes.
I thought that cutting out Fast food (simply because it gets STUCK) would help me lose weight. NOPE.
I went back to some comfort foods (due to being in pain from I don't know what - numerous trips to the ER and Doc tell me nothing) - such as Popcorn with butter topping, Graham Crackers with butter, and Sunflower seeds. I can eat all of these things without being "hungry" (I have cut out the graham crackers and it's been almost 6 weeks since I've had them)
I am working on cutting out Sunflower seeds next. I can eat them mindlessly at the computer. This is just...bad.
Popcorn is going to be the hardest. I know, Know - just eat AIR POPPED popcorn, right?? Everyone says that. But we all know it, it's gross that way and it gets stuck without the butter or oil.
and I seem have gotten into a weird habit - finding out that popcorn tastes AAMAZING with a nice big slice of Pepper Jack cheese.
Then then is exercise. One of my doctor thinks I have a small hernia in my groin and that's what causing me pain. I think my fallopian tube is blocked and that's why it hurts, but I am not a Dr. and they didn't think so when I suggested it.
So, it hurts. I don't exercise. Repeat.
I just want it to be easy for me. I know it's not easy for everyone else, but it SEEMS that way, you know?
In other news, even though my weight hasn't changed since October, I was wearing a 22-24 pants in Sept, and now I can just about fit in an size 18 pants. What the heck? I can wear XL shirts. I wish the they did measurements at the Doctors office so I can say SEE?? but they don't care.
Menu Today - horrible. I actually ate more today than I usually do
Breakfast/Lunch
Coffee with Caramel Creamer
Omelet made with 2 eggs (I only finished a little more than 1/2 of the omelet though) and 1/2 oz of Pepperjack cheese
2 slices of bacon
Snack -
1 CUP (serving is 1/4 of a cup!!) of Sunflower seeds in shell
Snack - 1 slice of apple pie (Which I didn't really need to eat because I wasn't hungry, but I made an apple pie for Christmas and brought it over to my parents house and nobody ate ANY of it and I was mad. So I said fine, I'LL HAVE SOME!)
I'm already up to around 1400 calories (I usually try to stick in the 1200 range) and I'm not hungry for dinner now that I had two snacks.
meh.
Working on a menu for tomorrow now...

I'm Okay
I have been a bad blogger, but I still don't feel comfortable blogging because of certain nosy, irritating people. I haven't had the time or energy to start a new blog or make this one private.
I do miss blogging - hopefully I can update soon on what's going on here.
Until then - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Silent
For several days I've felt like I have to be silent.
That I couldn't share things on MY blog, just because someone I know is reading.
You see, this was Bullying Week - and I felt like a adult woman, a former friend was bullying me via Facebook messages.
That's a story (one I'm not sure I'll write about here) for another time though.
I don't have a ton a friends. I've never been the life of the party - but, when I DO make a friend, a GOOD friend, we are usually friends for quite a while. There are only 2 friends in my past that are no longer.
I don't lie to my friends.
I don't make up stories so they will feel sorry for me.
I don't put them down - or their spouse (even when I think their choice of husband is an complete asshole)
I would do anything I could to help them within my power if they need help.
I will always listen.
I will always tell the truth.
However - I don't always THINK before the truth - what I'm feeling - comes out of my mouth.
I had a friend, that I knew since Early elementary school. We were friends even when we lived in different states - letters, phone calls, and online chats. We drove and flew to be with each other. And while we both did things that drove the other absolutely crazy - we could laugh about it.
Once this friend - I'll call her Olive - started having kids (when we were 25) - our relationship changed. She became very "crunchy" (and not a bad thing at all, but she was). She became a very fierce MamaBear.
I loved her kids - they were awesome, and even had a special name they made up just for me (that I loved - I felt like a special Auntie)
Four years ago - Olive asked me to come visit her and teach her about photography. I had started my business a few years before. I didn't have the money to come - so her husband bought me a ticket, and I flew to their state for a 10 day trip to teach her and hang out.
The first 2 days were fun - we ran around and saw things. I played with the kids.
On the 3 rd day - it turned into - oh, watch the baby while I take Kid #1 to school. then I have all of these errands to run. Lather, rinse, repeat. For 5 days. I played with her kids constantly, watched them, fed them snacks and basically acted like a Nanny. We did no photography nor went anywhere. To me, she never played with her kids - just on the computer.
At this time, I was getting mad. I wanted to say to her - what the hell is this? but I couldn't get the words out. I was so frustrated, that I went to the room I was staying in to cry. She came to ask what was wrong/going on - and I said it. Exactly what was on my mind - that she ignores her kids etc etc and I wasn't there to be a babysitter! We had words. It wasn't pretty.
She then tells me I'm kicked out and I have to leave. I have basically 10 min to pack, and get my butt out of there - I have no car, and no where to stay in a city I know nothing about.
(It was a nightmare getting home but not going to write that part out)
When I got home I emailed her and asked if we could work this out - she said no - and her husband wrote to me and said the same thing. I have not tried to contact her or anything since, although I would like to talk to her about it.
Sigh.
So, person who is reading this that I would rather stay out of my business:
I feel harassed. I feel bothered. I feel like I shouldn't have to say to someone - OVER AND OVER again that I do not want to be friends. I do not have to list reasons why - even though I COULD.
I have no desire to be your friend. I feel lied to and that doesn't sit well with me. Do not contact me, do not message me, do not email me - I am done. I wish you the best but leave me alone - I mean it.
You have plenty of other friends - go lie to them. Even better, tell them that it hurts you if they stay my friend - they can have you.
To everyone else: I do not know the future of this blog and it makes me sad. If you are one of my blog friends and still want to keep up with me, please comment or email me and I'll send you an update. Thank you for reading.

Anonymous
I didn't try to make this blog anonymous. I should have.
Now, I know someone who I would PREFER NOT READ THIS BLOG - is reading it and has probably read it all. I didn't take pains to hide it but I didn't cover my tracks as I should have. I was careless.
So, that's the reason why I haven't been blogging.
I haven't lost any weight anyway.
I'm in a bad mood because 500 bazillion of my facebo.ok "friends" are posting little blurbs like this on their walls
"The next time someone says
"Oh, you're JUST a stay at home mom" I may punch you in the face. Being a mom, is far more difficult and challenging than any job you could ever have. We don't get breaks or weekends or holidays off. We don't get the luxury of sleeping all through the night or sleeping in. Instead, we get late nights and early mornings. We now have family nights instead of date night. We wipe noses, get puked on, change diapers, try the potty training, do play time, deal with temper tantrums, and as soon as nap time hits ... we turn around scrub the bathrooms, pick up the floor , do the dishes, and work on that never ending pile of laundry. So the next time someone wants to say "you're just a stay at home mom" you are more than welcome to fill my position for a day!!"
Just a Stay at home Mom? Right. My Mom was a single Mom who worked 60 hours a week to support us(If I was not at school, I was with my Grandma) then came home and DID EVERY FREAKING THING THAT "STAY AT HOME" Mom's do when she got home. She also ran a business (a craft store) with my Aunts and Grandma on the weekends. She did not get the luxury EVER of sleeping in - not because I would get up early (I loved sleep too much as a kid!) because she had to support her family.
And you know what? I'm just an infertile who would give anything to be a "Stay at home Mom". Difficult and challenging? BRING. IT. ON. I don't currently get weekends off anyway, because I have to WORK. On Holidays I'm still working on the computer, trying to bring in Money to pay our bills. and on Holidays I'm crying inside because I DON'T GET TO BE A STAY AT HOME MOM. Dude. Squeeze those babies, love them, and shut the fuck up that oh wah, you have to change some diapers and wipe some noses and do the THINGS EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO DO ANYWAY WHETHER THEY HAVE KIDS OR NOT. Family night means YOU HAVE A FAMILY. You procreated! YAY!

Tattoo, Cat and Birthday
Well, My Birthday wasn't THAT bad - We had lots of time with my Sister in Law (who was visiting from out of state) - We ate out WAY too much (yum! but of course, I can't eat much). I got a new sewing machine from my parents, DVD's and Gift cards from my hubby, and money from my Father in law. Which I used to buy..this...
Ha! I wasn't expecting to get a tattoo - I've wanted one for years and years but could not decide on anything. My Sis made the appointment, and last Friday she got SIX (yes, SIX!!!) tattoos, and I got this little dude on my ankle. and of course, it had to mean something to me, and everyone is asking WHAT a pumpkin means to me - so, the list. because I'm weird.
1. I love Halloween (duh)
2. I got married on Halloween (double duh)
3. It's a Jack Skellington face from Nightmare before Christmas - which I love! 4. It's a happy face to remind me to be happy
5. The two leaves are for my two babies
6. It's on my right side which is my "pain" side - all of my ovarian cysts are hurty on that side. When I'm in pain, I can look at it and think of something else It really didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. It felt like a bee sting. I'm no stranger to pain, anyway.
We also went to a wedding for my husband's cousin - I'm hoping some photos surface of me because I looked cute in my dress!
and I finally got time to photograph my new kitty - Binx! (although, I call her Binky - poor cat)

Grr
My Fill started working - hurray!
Rest of my life? not hurray.
I'm always in a pissy mood.
I feel like going to some peoples jobs and asking them to do it for free, or give me free product, just because. It sounds FUN!!
(Can you tell that I've had some problems with this recently??)
Tomorrow is my Birthday. A few weeks ago, I had received some money from my parents (which was actually from Christmas, long story) that I was going to use to buy a new lens for my camera (which I need, badly). Bills came up and surprise, surprise, I had to use that money to pay...Child Support.
For the kid that's not mine and that we don't get to see. Right.
I knew what my husband had been planning on getting me for my birthday and was excited for it. We were at the store anyway and he asked if we could just get it then - fine. Then he says he needs more phone minutes (pay as you go phone) because he has to use his cell at work sometimes. Well, wouldn't you know that the phone min were the same price as my gift and I had to tell the cashier to take it off (because I wasn't expecting the expense of the phone card, we didn't have enough money to buy the gift)
sigh.
I hate my birthday.

Ten Things Thursday
1. Dude. I had a fill on Monday, after starving for a month (because I didn't get a fill in August and I didn't lose ANYTHING last month). The nurse would only give me 1/2 a CC. Why? because someone else got a full CC and they had problems with reflux. um. that person is not ME.
2. So guess what? still starvin' marvin. I don't even think they gave me a fill. I think my band is leaky or something.
3. I also have a visitor aka Aunt Flo and TOM or whatever you want to call this evil bitch. I spend the month with ovarian cyst pain, then for 5-6 days I get cramps that make me want to kill someone. Fun times.
4. HANGRY - is my favorite word. It's a combo of Hungry and Angry. Which is how I feel right now.
5. I love love love loooove my job. but people should not book photo sessions or make orders of photographs without paying their INVOICES!!! I call this "Invoice Hell". I get it, it's not payday. But when you are on a payment schedule (I have lay-a-way) and your payment is due on the 5th, you need to pay it on the 5th. because that's MY payday. If everyone who owes me money would pay me, I could pay off every bill I have, right now.
6. Back to food - oh man...I love food. but now I'm hungry (HANGRY!!) but things get stuck. Like...yogurt. strangeness.
7. I have discovered that I CAN eat french fries if I use huge amounts of ketchup. This is not a good thing. It IS a good thing that I prefer french fries dry/plain though, because then I don't each them.
8. My Sister in law is coming to visit! I am excited to see her. She's awesome. I am not excited that I have to clean my house. She might stay here for a day or two. which means I need to come up with a guest room. haha.
9. I am addicted to Peach Green tea from the Gas Station. 80oz of sugar free peachy goodness? YES PLEASE!!
10. The biggest news of this week is...we found a kitten under our car on Monday morning and I guess we're keeping her. We have put up posters and looked for her owner, but no luck. I will post some photos of her later! Her name is Binx!
