Stress



Stress, Stress, Stress. I had to go to the Social Security office. And it was just a lot of stress. But, at least it's over.

Next, I have to go to to a endocrinologist. And I just hate going to doctors. So I will be glad when that's over too.

And stress being a admin. *sigh*

I need a break. lol :)

We're trying to cut down on money, live simpler, and that's hard to figure out where to do that too. But, we are getting there I guess.

Tired



I'm still tired! I don't know what's up. It's probably just diabetes. Still nothing new to report really. lol

Creative



I have just been really sleepy lately. Grrrrrrrrr.

I'll be glad when Fox is done with the sports shows, I'm ready for the real programming to come back.

I have been having fun making AVs the last couple of days though. :)

Surge!



Ok, I've been bad and not posting for a few days.

I can say I was very happy when Rob was voted off Survivor. What a maroon.

We went to Wal-mart yesterday, really low on money so no clothes! awe well. lol :) Got a ton of food though. And a surger.

Yesterday, I was frying frozen shrimp, and the oil had gotten heated up in the deep fryer and every thing. And sizzled when I put in the shrimp. THEN, when it was time to take them out. I noticed it wasn't even warm when I opened the lid. And the garlic toast in the toaster oven wasn't toasted either! So I tried and tried, but figured out the surger had died. The deep fat fryers cord was too short to reach the outlet. So I had to plug the toaster oven into the outlet, finish the toast and then finish the shrimp in the toaster oven. By, the time I was all done I wasn't even hungry any more. :( *sigh* what a day!

Popcorn Mishap



I've been working on my mom's blog. It's not completely done but it's up at lyricallilac.blogspot.com

Still doing my milesource. lol Sometimes I lose interest in it. I hope I don't though, need those free hotel nights, I keep telling myself. lol :)

Still a bit under the weather too. :(

Watched The Amazing Race tonight, I think I'm rooting for the bald eagles-The balding brothers. lol :) Very interesting race. I think the lawyers were a bit dumb though. But, I've thought that since the first episode. I made my popcorn to early though for it. For some reason I keep thinking it comes on at 8, but it doesn't come on till 9. lol So I had to eat my popcorn watching My wife & kids, and George Lopez. lol Finally a Mexican sitcom. The first one actually ever, since I Love Lucy, but I can't say that was truly a Mexican sitcom. He was supposed to be from Cuba, and it mainly revolved around Lucy. There's another kind of Mexican sitcom on the WB. Something about Arizona. It's pretty funny too. I watch it after Reba, on Fridays.

Points Unearned



I'm doing more of my milesource stuff to get our hotel hopefully for free when we go on our cruise. Too bad I didn't stick with it, I would have had a ton of points by now. Awe well.

I'm feeling kind of creative, so I'm going to make my mom a blog. She won't get to use it though till she gets a new pc. But, I'm hoping she can get a new one soon. She likes journaling, so I think she will like it once she can actually use it.

Deeply



I just love the new gif that Chari made me, the Deeply...... in love one. It's beautiful!

Ache



Another pretty boring day. I still feel achy, and I have a dull head ache.

Viewers



I found a cool how many people are viewing my blog html tag. I really like that.

I can't wait to see my mom on our trip in March. And the kids are excited about going on a cruise with us next year. :)

I'm kind of bored, nothings on tv. And my throat still hurts. GRRR. Oh well.....

Fried Twinkies?!



Rob on Survivor is getting dumber and dumber. I will be glad when he is gone! I am rooting for Shi or Helen.

Now I hear people are eating fried twinkies!

Amazing



Been lazy today.

I really love to see the places they go on Amazing Race. I still don't have a team to root for, but it's fun to watch. Can't wait for Survivor tonight. Looks like they may be switching members of teams again. But, they always try to fool us, so who knows.

8.0



Went to Costco today. Got some food and car mats. I was kind of surprised to see that carpet mats versus really heavy duty rubber mats cost the same amount. I was like the rubber heavy duty ones will last for years, where the carpet ones last 1 to 2 years tops. Carpet ones look a bit nicer at first but by the time the are stained and ruined by mud, spills, water, etc don't look as good as the rubber ones we can hose down.

Also we got AOL 8.0 today. It's really nice. Almost like AOL is with power tools. Also now they even provide a buzz me type service so you know when a call is coming in and can send the person a message or accept the call, it will come up on the first ring with caller ID in a message. I liked changing my IM wall paper and background for AOL. And I had to change my smilies to teddy bear smilies, I may have to change them to monkeys though since my IM wall paper is leopard skin. lol :)

I love this chilly weather. Keep it on. I can't wait till I'm chilly enough to have another cup of cocoa. :)

Will have to use the new mug family brought us back from their last vacation. :)

Security



Vince and I had security again last night. The same shift 4-8 am. They were needing help with more volunteers so we did. Boy was I tired today. lol :) I'm bringing a pillow next time. lol

Meeting was good last night. I thought the part on how Book Study Conductors/Overseers are supposed to help the publishers in their group was very encouraging and kind.

I'm hoping that Vince and I can build up well, spiritually and reach some higher goals. I would like to pioneer, and I think it would be nice if Vince could reach out to be a Ministerial Servant. I think he would like it too, we have been discussing it. Of course it will be a while off, till we get some other spiritual goals reached first. :) But, maybe not too far off, if we work hard. Our congregation is mainly older and needs some younger brothers to help out more. So it would be a good thing all around. They have been having Vince take some more responsibilities which I think is really good. Last night he helped count the money, I was proud of that. :) And I think he was too. He said he should be learning these things, so he can do them. So I'm pretty happy today. I really like doing the security and being busy in the work of the Lord. I always feel better when I am busy with the congregation and spiritual things.

I still have a bit of a sore throat and hacking stuff up. I feel like I'm not totally sick, just on the edge of getting something. Of course I usually get something like pneumonia, so I don't know what it's like to just have the sniffles, I always think that's not totally sick yet. lol
