Sometimes...
I don't know why I do the things I do or say the things I say or wonder why I care what other people think. It sort of drives me crazy. As soon as I claim not to "care", I realize I do care and it drives me crazy. I guess I'm just not very good about letting things go, letting stuff roll off my back and actually not giving a crap. I guess I'm just not that kind of person - I do care about things - and sometimes I get hurt when I realize that other people don't care the same way I do. It really makes me second guess things like 1) Am I wrong to care; 2) Do I read too much in to things; 3) Am I just out of my freaking mind. And then I end up like this. I once said that I need to learn how to make a decision and stick to it. Well... that issue still remains, I do need to learn how to make a decision and stick to it and only worry about how it effects me and stop dwelling on other people. Its really quite annoying!!

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse than yesterday...
It has managed to get much MUCH worse today!

Bordering on mental exhaustion...
I can't get over it. It was dead yesterday and today it is nuts. I can't get over it. Actually, I do this to myself. One of these days I'll write a rant about all of this... it won't be pretty!

OK...
I am officially caught up now and no one has written me with ideas on how to waste the remaining amount of time in my day. Hmmm... actually, maybe I can sneak out of here a bit early since I came in early. That should work.
Been writing a few emails... maybe I should send out a general "what's up" email to my address book. I'm known for those!

Help me!!!
The utter boredom continues. I have one case I need to work on but I'm too bored to do so. Does that make any sense?
Went on Ebay and bid on a cell phone - its one I really want but should probably wait til my contract is up so I can either get it free or seriously discounted. I don't care. I've wanted the thing for months and I HATE my cell phone AND I have Christmas money still to burn!!
Yesterday, purse; today, phone.
Doesn't mean I'll win it. In fact when I get outbid in Ebay auctions I pretty much just let them go. If its meant to be, it will be - ha! So, we shall see. But if I get it at this price it will be sort of a good deal and if I do not, my heart won't be broken either. I'll either find another one to bid on or will simply wait.
I'm sure by the time my contract is up in November there will be something new out there that I will want, but I don't care.
If anyone has any suggestions about how I can "un-bored" myself, please let me know.

And the lunch decision was...
OK ... so it was sort of in the middle... I had a salad with the dressing on the side but I had a cookie too. I couldn't help myself. Its so hard to stay on a diet when you don't have a specific goal. Perhaps I need to set up a series of mini-goals. Hmmm... that might work!
Bored out of my mind!
Can't decide whether or not to give into the darker forces and have some junk to eat for lunch or go eat my Lean Cuisine chicken with rice that is in the freezer. I can really see it going either way right now.
Not too much in my track at work today but the things that are are total nightmares!!

Today
Not a heck of a lot going on today. Customers have been real __________ today (you can fill in the blank yourself).
I have had to put two thru to sales to figure stuff out. A third hung up on me for denying her support when her maintenance contract was expired. Called back a second time trying to get someone else (ha ha- I had already sent an alert message out to the department warning my coworkers in regards to her rudeness, we do that!), the second rep denied her. She proceeded to cuss out the second rep and the rep transferred her to sales. Not sure if she stayed on the line or not. Wouldn't I have LOVED to be on the other side of that conversation?
Anyway, just got back from my "lunch". Went shopping on State Street. Started at Marshall Fields. I wanted to buy a designer purse with some of my Christmas money but everything there - no matter what designer was totally BUTT. If I'm going to spend some money, I don't care how "trendy" it is, I want it to look nice. So went to Filene's Basement instead where I ended up buying a really nice purse which is probably "so last season" (but I don't care), retail was $200 and I got it for $75. You can't beat that.
Thats about it for now. More fun this afternoon here at work!!

Blah...
So much going on right now that is giving me the worst freaking headache! I have this problem I can't resolve at work; I'm working on a little "project" with some friends which is becoming more of a pain than I expected. What I have learned about people today - give an inch, they take a mile. I can't deal with it. I'm just going to have to lead and make the decisions and now people aren't going to like it. Oh well...
On a happier note - what an awesome basketball weekend it was. IU beats Purdue and Duke loses! Does it get any better than that!!??

Boys, men, however ya'all like to be referred to at this point:
LISTEN UP!
Don't even TRY to tell us that how you act towards us "post-breakup" doesn't count. Doesn't count? Yeah, thats bull*&#@! I think one's actions during this time says WAY more than the good times ever said.
I don't care whose fault the breakup was!

Not too much to report
Out with my same friend that I went out with last Thursday night tonight, same place, same time, all of that.
Other than that, not a heck of a lot going on.
Kind of tired and I'm not sure why cause I went to bed pretty early last night!

Diet blow-age!
Well, not really... I just haven't been as good as I was last week but I have a medical condition at the moment that is probably causing that - ugghh... Anyway, using a few "fun points" but as long as I don't go over I figure no harm, no foul?
Is that how you spell foul? I'm not a very good speller as many of my friends know.
Speaking of fouls or whatever, how about the IU-U of I game last night. My Hoosiers won! Whoo-hoo!
Anymore I'm not sure if I get more excited to see the U of I lose or to see Bruce Weber lose. I think it might be the latter actually. What a smug little a$$*&#!
; )

Yeah so my friend's boyfriend STILL won't let it go. Called her work this morning and left a 5 minute voice mail going on and on about how he was going to tell all of these people about all of these secrets from her past and then still proceeds to say "I'm only doing this because I love you." He is f-ing delusional.
Well in a round about way all of this stuff with him is now causing ME problems and that is where I have to draw the line. So I have had to make some changes that I didn't want to make and perhaps some other people may be upset with me but I don't care. I don't need this type of negativity in my life.
As far as I'm concerned, if he is still in "the group", I no longer am. I'm done with it!

I just got hammered during my phone shift. I mean it was horrible! So, I'm declaring myself done for the day unless something minor comes up!

Diet progress!
So... so far so good. I actually dropped 7 pounds in one week. I find that a little scary but I'm guessing it was mostly water/holiday pounds which probably comes off a little more quickly. This after having a one night disaster which included beer, birthday cake and ice cream! I'm sure the weight loss will slow down now. I feel great though so I'm not worried. Just hope I don't get bored with this!

Crazy day!
I think its time to call it a week!
Lots of house cleaning to do this weekend probably beginning tonight cause goodness knows I have no plans.
Oh well...

Well duhh....
If you consider birth control for women a prescription drug, I'm not sure why this is all that surprising.
The cutest thing!
Last night I did laundry and I had a ton to do so it took forever. So anyway, I'm down in the basement and the guy who has the small basement apartment had his door open to let his kitties run around in the basement. He does that every once in a while. I met the kitties the first time during the "Great Circuit Breaker Incident of '05", they were still pretty young then and so cute.
Well they're bigger now and still so cute and sooo active. They are some of the nicest cats I've met. I wouldn't say they are quite full grown yet but I don't think they are going to be big cats either. One is black and white and one is all orange and anyone who knows me knows I have a soft spot in my heart for orange kitties.
Anyway, they were all over the place climbing in my laundry basket, around my feet, letting me pick them up. The black and white one is sooo friendly. The orange one is really sweet but a little more shy. When I first met them she wouldn't let me pick her up but this time she did. Still a little shy though.
They really made me smile and laugh. I love kitties!

Count 'em up!
OK so... still doing the Weight Watchers thing and I think I'm starting to get in the groove except well for ... some plans tonight but I'll get into that later.
Anyway, I bought these things called British Crumpets from Trader Joe's the other day. First off - Trader Joe's is like one of the coolest places around. There are so many cool "Traders".
Trader Joe's and his cool grocery store
Trader Vic's (mentioned previously in this blog) and his awesome drinks
Trader Todd's and his karaoke bar in Chicago
Man, the list just goes on and on...
Anyway, back to my story. So British Crumpet... I'm not even sure what a British Crumpet is but if I had to describe it, I would call it a sweet English muffin. Hmmm... and they're both British. Coincidence? Anyway, so bought the crumpets on a whim - they are the cinnamon flavor - and I just LOVE them. This will be a regular purchase from now on. I toast them and spray them with that fake zero point "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" spray and the whole thing equals 2 points. Now ... I know what you're thinking ... only two points for breakfast, shouldn't you break it up a bit more? Well the thing is, I actually don't enjoy breakfast very much but I think when you're dieting especially its good to have at least a little something first thing in the morning. That way you aren't starving when you get to work and immediately looking to snack - if a coworker brought in Krispy Kremes they will be much easier to avoid!
So yeah the crumpets and then for lunch today I had one of those microwaveable bowls of Progresso Vegetable Soup - this is the one with the veggies only in it. Anyway, the whole thing equals only 2 points! Its very filling too so you can't beat that. On the side I had 7 Reduced Fat Triscuits (Triscuits rock!) and a triangle of the best low fat cheese on the planet - Laughing Cow. That side equals only 3 points. So it was a 5 point lunch when typically I go around probably 10 points for lunch. Ten points for lunch may be a little much I have realized cause then I'm really sort of limited for dinner. I only get 22 points a day cause I don't have much to lose. Then you get like 35 extra points a week which I guess is what I would call "fun" points. They recommend that you break that up like 5 extra points a day so a max of say 27 points a day. 20 points is the fewest you can have and I'm almost there and when I get there ... yikes ... I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that but my guess would be no more going out for lunch and adding more veggies or something.
The thing is, I don't have a particular "goal weight" or a date I need to make a "goal" by. I think I look good now, I just have gained a few pounds back since I quit the South Beach Diet and I would like to lose that back and get into a routine. I also have not started back exercising. I will probably do that next week. I also have not weighed myself and actually plan to try and not to maybe for another week. I'd just like to eat healthy for a while and not worry about what the number says. In fact, I think it is more important to just eat healthy and not worry about the number than anything anyway. So that is my philosophy at the moment. I can tell its working though already although I'm sure all I have lost is water weight. Every diet I have ever been on, I swear, like 5-6 pounds of weight on me is water. The thing I noticed this morning is that most of the poofiness on my stomach is gone and those muscles are definitely still there. I love it when I can see my stomach muscles - not that I have ever had a 6-pack or anything remotely close but its nice to know they're there. Know what I mean?
But I digress... The only bad thing about me on a diet is that when I really get into them, I sort of get obsessed - seriously. I feel it happening again too. I really think that is why I needed to back off South Beach at the time, I was too in to it and I had a bunch of other stuff going on in my life there towards the end anyway. But like I said, I think the most important thing with my diet now is my laid back attitude - I'm not going to freak out losing, not losing, I'm just going to go with the flow, eat better and see how it goes.
That leads us to tonight. One of the reasons I cut back on my lunch today is because I'm going out with one of my friends after work today so I know there will be beer involved. Lets see... I have 15 points left so I could have maybe 1-3 beers (depending on their size) - a Miller Light bottle is only two points. Hmmm... I need to check on the points of wine, maybe I should switch to that. Anyway... So between 1-3 and then to eat I could probably get like a salad with some chicken on it or something. I think that sounds completely reasonable and if I do go over, no big deal, I still have a bunch of "fun" points left over this week.
So I'm going to try not to turn this blog into a diet blog but it is definitely somthing that is on my mind right now.
Oh yeah ... a couple of little "treats" I have been adding to my meals in case anyone else doing Weight Watchers is reading this. These aren't that creative but if you haven't thought about them...
The flavored sparkeling water from Wal-mart (Sam's brand) is zero points and to me it tastes like soda. The flavor is really strong - much stronger than other brands I have tried in the past. I LOVE it! Also, if you have extra points and want to fill up on something healthy and dessert- like, check out different applesauces. The Jewel brand applesauce is 1 point per half cup. A half cup is a lot too. Last night I had two points left so I had a whole cup for two points and I was stuffed when I was done!
ENJOY!

Freako!
Oh my god ... I can't get over my freakish night of sleep last night. I have no idea what is up with me the past two nights. I have started this diet - nothing weird, just Weight Watchers - and I sort of wonder if maybe the change in eating habits isn't doing this to me. Yeah, I eat healthy foods and now I can't sleep - LOL!
Anyway, the night before last I had one totally terrifying dream to the point where I got up and turned on lights. I mean, what a spaz I am.
Last night it was bad dream after bad dream. I don't even know how many - 10 or more, just short snippets, different every time, over and over and over. I woke up this morning shaking with my heart pounding. Its insane!
So I don't know if its the food or if my mind is just in a weirdo place right now but I DON'T LIKE IT!

!!
I didn't know the old Trader Vic's closed! I was sort of reading this article in a panic until I realized they were moving to a new location in River North. Whewwww!! I loved that place - especially half-priced mai tai Thursdays! River North will definitely make it more hip and definitely more busy. I sort of liked the "off the beaten path" feel to the place even though it was a classic Chicago hangout!

The slippery slope
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick, booted from the team last week for his behavior on and off the field, was charged Monday with pulling a gun on three teenagers during an altercation in a restaurant parking lot.
Vick surrendered at the Suffolk magistrate's office after three warrants were issued for his arrest Sunday, Magistrate Lisa Noel said.

My friend...
So yeah, I ran into my friend at the train stop this morning - the friend who is having problems with her ex. Anyway, she said was gone part of the day visiting relatives on Sunday and came home to find her ex basically hanging out in her backyard.
She told him to leave immediately or she was calling the police. He kept going on and on about how he didn't understand and just wanted to talk. She told him about three more times to leave and I guess he finally did. She did not end up calling the police.
I told her if he pulls that crap one more time to call immediately, say nothing, just call. If it were me, I would call for much much less than this crap!

I told her if he pulls that crap one more time to call immediately, say nothing, just call. If it were me, I would call for much much less than this crap!
Oh my!!
Swank Splits From Lowe
"The Insider"'s MARC MALKIN reports that double Oscar winner HILARY SWANK and her husband CHAD LOWE have decided to split.
Swank's manager, TROY NANKIN, tells Malkin that "Hilary and Chad have decided to separate but they are hopeful they will be able to get through this tough time."
It was this time last year when Hilary was accepting the Oscar for Best Actress ('Million Dollar Baby') and thanking Lowe, "last, but not least," for the support -- after her glaring omission when she won the Oscar in 2000 for 'Boys Don't Cry' and forgot to acknowledge her then-hubby.
The couple married in September of 1997 and have no children together.

More happy feedback from a user about moi!
Comment: Your software and support are great. My recent support from Melissa was outstanding. I am a long time user of xxxx and expect to be for a long time more. Thank you so much.
Respect my "elders"? Yeah, right.
The lack of maturity in these so-called "elders" continues to amaze.
Anyway, didn't end up really all that sick last night but still not 100%. I'm just so blah and yucky!
Went to Victoria's Secret last night and to my "amazement" I guess I do not actually have the body of a Victoria's Secret model. Shocker!
; )

I think I'm sick...
My stomach is KILLING me! And its not the "Blah! I ate too much candy stomach-ache", its the "I'm going to be up all night puking stomach-ache". I'm really really icky and I have chills. This sucks!
On top of that I have errands I wanted to run after work and right now am so not in the mood for it. Going to try and chill out at my desk here for a bit and see if I feel better.
Isn't it funny how much I've stopped by here today. I'm usually a fairly lame poster!
BLAH!!!!!!!!!

Oh my... my former "local" NBC affiliate is now participating in censorship. Oh yeah, sorry, its the "regulatory atmosphere" of the networks ... I forgot!
STEP AWAY FROM THE KOOL-AID!
Two NBC affiliates throw book at 'Daniel'
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Two NBC affiliates in Arkansas and Indiana are turning the page on upcoming series "The Book of Daniel," which has been drawing criticism for its portrayal of Christianity. The series depicts an Episcopalian minister, played by Aidan Quinn, struggling with an addiction to Vicodin, among other problems in his diocese. Jesus is actually a character on the series, depicted in imagined conversations with the minister. Last month, the conservative American Familuy Assn. began calling on affiliates and advertisers to bail out of "Daniel." Many stations have been flooded with e-mails and calls from viewers objecting to the series. KARK-TV in Little Rock, Ark., and WTWO-TV in Terre Haute, Ind., announced Wednesday they would pre-empt "Daniel," when it premieres Friday at 9 p.m. Both are owned by Nexstar Broadcasting Group,
KARK-TV declined to air "Daniel" citing "careful consideration" of viewer feedback. Little Rock's WB affiliate, KWBF-TV, will air "Daniel" instead.
However, WTWO general manager Duane Lammers said he is not pre-empting "Daniel" due to its content but rather to protest what he views as the networks' strong-arm approach to affiliates, as well inconsistent federal oversight of indecent content.
"This has nothing to do with the program and has nothing to do with the AFA," Lammers said. "I think the system is screwed up. I think the network thinks we are going to do whatever they tell us to do. I think the regulatory environment is flawed."
The network stands by the series, according to Vivi Zigler, executive vp current programming at NBC Entertainment, who cautioned not to judge the series on the basis of promotions for the show.
"People are reacting based on not having seen it," she said. "They're seeing the advertising, not seeing what the core of the show is."
Jack Kenny, executive producer of "Daniel," dismissed claims that the series is anti-Christian. "We are not in any way satirizing Christianity or Jesus," he said. "It's done with love, honoring those things."
But Lammers isn't taking exception with "Daniel." Rather, he is using the pre-emption to air multiple grievances with industry practice -- especially network-affiliate relations.
"In the last few years, the networks have responded in a unilateral manner in their treatment of affiliates, whether it's about compensation, exclusivity or other issues," he said. "I am now reaffirming my right to treat them unilaterally."
Lammers also decried what he sees as a double standard in the lack of content regulation regarding cable. "I'm saying the regulatory atmosphere is unfair," he said. "If this gives me a chance to talk about it, that's fair."
WTWO is alone so far in its pre-emption of "Daniel," but other affiliates wrestled with the decision.
"There's been an enormous amount of discussion about the show," said Steve Poulsen, vp marketing at KSL-TV, NBC's affiliate in Salt Lake City. "This one happens to have religious overtones to it and is causing a little stir. We determined on this one to let the viewers determine the success or failure of this show."
KSL, which caters to a heavily Mormon viewership, has not been shy about joining the small group of stations that have pre-empted NBC programming in the recent past. Among the NBC series that have been yanked in recent years, include "Coupling," "God, the Devil and Bob," and "Stressed Eric."
Lammers, who also serves as executive vp and chief operating officer of WTWO parent company Nexstar Broadcasting Group, is known for taking aggressive stands on behalf of his company. He pulled multiple Nexstar-owned stations off Cox Communications and Cable One cable systems for most of 2005 in order to negotiate cash for carriage -- an unprecedented arrangement. Both operators settled with Nexstar late last year.
WTVO, which is the 150th-largest television market in the U.S., will air theatrical "Simon Birch" instead of back-to-back episodes of "Daniel."

Lots of stuff today about lots of stuff
1. Leave me alone. If you are bugging me, snooping on me, just doing anything that has anything to do with me. LEAVE ME ALONE! I am serious... PLEASE LET IT GO!!!!!!!!
2. Along these lines my poor friend did open that can of worms yesterday that I was afraid she had but I think she probably expected it and I know I did. Maybe she wanted that can of worms. Unfortunately the can of worms is clogging up my inbox with a bunch of email crap between she and her ex-boyfriend (now ex-friend). All of this back and forth. He wrote an email and copied a bunch of us on it and it was COMPLETELY out of line. I mean, COMPLETELY. Everything that she said in her email yesterday that we were copied on was nothing new. It was nothing that she hadn't told me before and more than that, it was NOTHING THAT HE HADN'T QUOTED HER AS SAYING BEFORE ALREADY. His response today was completely uncalled for. I mean... he went into details about their sex life and a minor (albeit embarrassing) health issue that she has, along with some stuff about her CHILDHOOD. Oh my god... I mean... I knew most of this stuff anyway but only because he had spilled the beans to me about it when he thought he was "confiding" in me. But she doesn't know that I knew it. I can only imagine what she thinks. I mean, I don't care, it doesn't effect the way I see her but if I were her I would be freaking out. I basically wrote her and said, "Someone who claims to love you as much as he does, would never spill intimate details like that about you to anyone." Case closed I think. I just hope if they are going to go another 10 rounds on this that they do it via email and don't actually have some kind of personal altercation. They can, however, stop CC-ing and BCC-ing me on everything and that wouldn't bother me a bit.
3. I came to an odd revelation about my life this morning - from out of the blue, it just hit me. You know how I'm always talking about "crossroads"? Well, this is one that I sort of missed. I finally figured out where my disconnect from my past... my "pergatory"... and my present happened. I don't know why it hit me and it was a random little thing but something I can't forget. Sadly, this happened several years ago and I don't know why I didn't realize it at the time. I mean, I think I must have sort have, but was afraid to admit it and well... I'm not sure how this revelation happened this morning. When I was home over Christmas I had some long talks with my mom but didn't really come to many conclusions. I have really stopped trying to analyze my own life and just live but ... I mean, hey, I only lasted three therapy sessions when I went - ha ha! There is only so much time I can spend thinking about myself. I'd rather butt in to other people's business ; )
4. Crap ... I still need to change that eyebrow wax appointment. I have to do that in the next few minutes.
5. Going to go spend my Victoria's Secret gift card today too - nothing too spectacular. I need some practical underwear! LOL!
6. Talked for a super long time last night to my friend in Boston who I haven't talked to in a while! It was so good to hear from her. She is currently planning a wedding which I am going to try my date-less darndest to get to!
LOVE TO ALL!

I don't care!!!!!!!
Its none of your business, enough said. I don't have to tell you anything - good or bad - so whatever happens, I don't care. If you want to hate me, hate me. Fine with me. I'm probably better off. Get a life!
Oh my...
So yeah, you know my friend who I mentioned is going thru a really bad breakup and her boyfriend who is also a friend has turned into a real psycho? Oh man .... its getting so much worse. Well, I say the boyfriend is a "friend" but only incidentally a friend to me - he is more of a "friend of a friend" and I became friends with the girl because of us all hanging out together so... her boyfriend is not someone I would choose as a friend on my own but he's part of the "group" so what can you do...
The guy ... and this has been going on for weeks now ... won't leave her alone. She has had to change both her home number and her cell number because he was literally calling her hundreds of times a day. He was doing the same thing to her work number too - which wasn't a good idea; she's a legal secretary - and if she won't do some harassment thing against him (and she's trying not to), her lawfirm may go ahead and file it themselves. I guess they have all of the paper work and now its a matter of if they do go thru with something. The company has even had her speak to the police. I am not sure why it hasn't been filed or if she is trying to stop them from filing or what because this thing sounds pretty simple to file and especially for a lawfirm which is one of the more famous ones in downtown Chicago. But anyway...
So after she changed the numbers and all, of course he couldn't call her anymore at home. He was still calling at work but I guess the number of calls had finally tapered off. I told him when he was calling me and asking for advice that I thought for him to call more than three times a day was psycho. Personally, if someone is not returning your phone calls, its psycho to continue to call at all but three or less I can still sort of see as borderline.
I didn't realize that the emails had not stopped though - real pyscho rude ones with bad language. The scary thing in all of this is how he's back and forth on how much he loves her and he's really just trying to get her back. How can you threaten someone back with you and try and make them love you though? Dude, that ain't gonna work! If I were her, on Day 2 of this whole mess, I would have filed a harassment complaint, a restraining order, the works!
So then I guess yesterday his mom emails her wanting to know what happened. We aren't sure if he put his mom up to this or not but at first my friend wrote the mom back a very vague response. Then she got more harassing emails from him today so she wrote back a long response to the boyfriend, copied the mom and me and some other friends on it. Well now... he has really flipped out! She should have just BCC'd the rest of us on this because she should have known that copying all of us on this would have opened up a can of worms. So now... he's calling her and she has forwarded some of the voicemails to me and... I'm just trying to decide if I would consider these actual threats now - I mean like threats to violence or if he's just going to go do something stupid like egg her car - he's the type who would still think thats funny at age 32.
So anyway, I may add more about this drama here later... Before I just thought this whole thing was freaking annoying and don't we all throw the word "psycho" around so much in the dating world about people's actions... when they're not ... people do strange things, and say strange things, and place strange phone calls when they're hurt but now I'm really trying to decide if he may in fact actually be psycho!

My weirdo sleeping habits...
I don't know what is up with me. Perhaps its a combination of my changing time zones in the last several weeks - to Vegas, back to Chicago, down to Indiana, back here - who knows but anyway... I've become somewhat of a night owl the past two nights.
This is weird for me because even though I'm 31 years old I still believe in "bed time" like I was a 3rd grader or something. I'd say 90% of the time thru the week I go to bed at 10:30 on the dot every night. The other 10% I may go at 11 or even earlier on nights when I have to work early the next day.
The last two nights however I find myself up around 10ish deciding to surf the net and when I look up, its midnight! Now its not like I haven't seen the internet before and its not like I'm chatting with anyone because I don't chat anymore - honestly... just with my mom and coworkers regarding work stuff. No one chats with me at all! I don't even login at home anymore.
Yeah so I'm roaming aimlessly around the WWW and its throwing off my sleep habits! And, if you read my entry yesterday, you know I came into work late yesterday and the same thing could have happened today if I hadn't literally thrown myself out of bed.
But anyway, thats my random weirdness for the moment - hopefully I can stay away from the computer and get more sleep tonight!

What is up...
1. Christmas at home with the family -good; lots of great gifts including a serious amount of cash. You can't beat that!
2. Granddad not doing so well as I mentioned in a previous post. I would say its actually a little worse than Thanksgiving - constantly wanting to know where he is at any given moment, not knowing the people around him occasionally. It is also taking up to two hours to even get him dressed. Right now they're thinking a nurse at the house to help with some of this stuff. I'm not sure he'll be very cooperative though. I even think at times he is a little bit afraid of people except for my Grandma and Mom. So thats not good.
3. Running errands with my mom and grandparents while I was home. We were all over the place which for reasons above was interesting at times.
4. Missed connection with my friend from Texas. I'm not sure if her dad passed along the message that I was home or not. Plus, she's pregnant and had some troubles so maybe she just didn't want to deal with me.
5. Tons of food most especially cooked by my dad who is an awesome cook - I seriously need to go on a diet but that has been next to impossible. I seem to be little miss popular with my friends up here lately and I'm even going out with one of them tonight so... The diet will have to wait. I just need to get in gear!
6. Driving to and from by myself - my first big drive by myself in quite a while. I don't like driving so it sort of sucked!
7. Back up "here" for NYE ... well, if you consider "here" to be Wisconsin. Little trip up there just for the night and back the next day. Was really no big deal - out to dinner, drinks in the hotel room ...tra la la ... very low key - even more low key than last year!
8. Back to work today... and... I actually overslept and came into work like an hour late. Oh well... they're pretty forgiving of that stuff here.
I think that is about all for now. This year is going to be nuts.
My TO DO LIST and a few RESOLUTIONS:
Make appointment for eyebrow wax
Go spend my Victoria's Secret gift card
Go pick up my newly ordered contacts
Go shopping with my sis on Saturday
Start working out
Start dieting
Try to stay in better touch with old friends
Possibly start the occasional tanning appointment - I've decided that I'm just too pasty white! I don't really want to get into the tanning thing too much cause for one, it ain't healthy, but I suppose if I just did it on occasion it wouldn't be so bad... I don't know.
I feel like there are a million other things that should be on my to-do list but that's all I can think of right now!
