Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kmp1191]

I'm ready!!!
Today-
b-6oz chocolate milk
l-tuna on crackers (4 or 5)
d-gonna be tuna again...maybe in a wrap or something
water - (so far) 60 oz....will be more after I go running w/ ds...(after he finishes his homework)
resisted-candy drawer(reeses, minatures, etc) chick-fil-a drive through, sweet tea!!!
exercise - will be 2 mile walk/run w/ ds WHEN HE FINISHES HIS HOMEWORK!!!

Mom had a dr. appt today....he said she looks really good...(i told her he was hitting on her!) He said they are going to monitor her VERY closely from here on out. He said when you have cancer once, your odds of getting it again are high....and when you get it twice...they are probable. Mom told me~ "You may as well face the fact that I will eventually die of cancer." to which I responded "Unless you get hit by a Mack truck first!" (hopefully neither one is around the corner anytime soon!!)

I also had a kanipshonfit (sp?) at work today. Not an outloud one, but a silent fuming. We have this woman (N)in the office...she is on her cell phone ALL day, or she is in the bosses office, or she is on smoke break, or she is in the break room, or she is in the bathroom, or she is hanging upside down out the window picking the birdcrap off the side of the building. (anyway, you get my point) She is NEVER at her desk and she is NEVER working!! Well today, I got kind of fed up. I put my cell phone on as loud as it would go, so when someone calls me, EVERYONE will be disturbed (like when her's rings), and I've also decided that from now on, when she's not actually working, neither will I. When she goes on a smoke break, I will stop what I'm doing and wait til she gets back. When she is on a personal call, I will again, cease all work progress until she is finished. I told DH I may never work again!!!

Oh, and I don't DARE say anything to the boss....her and this N are tight. No one else exists. If boss tooted, N's head would be blown clean off her shoulders!!! If boss stopped too quickly, N would disappear all together!! Get the picture?!! I'll let you know how it goes....I may be unemployed by the end of the week!!!
(more time for exercise and scrapbooking!!!! )

ok...ds is done w/ homework....gonna go run now!!

What is the Amber Challenge, btw?
:

This is the AMBER CHALLENGE...

"ok Amber....here's the deal....
You will be allowed to eat out 2x in a 30 day period, with the following stipulations.
1~No fast food. ie-McDonalds,Burger King, Wendy's, Arby's, KFC, etc.
2~No greasy, fried anythings. ie-chicken,fish,fries,okra, etc.
3~Baked, Broiled or Boiled...or grilled. This goes for veggies, meat, etc.
4~You must have a salad at the start of the meal. This will fill you up and make it less likely to overindulge.
5~NO ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFETS!!! ~nuf said!~

So, what do you think? Are you still in? Keep in mind, I will be following this regimine as well. I'm not gonna ask you to do something that I'm not willing to do. It won't be easy, but who said life was easy??!!"

Amber has the same difficulties that I do....eating out....sweet tea....we both like the good things in life....so, I'm doing a Kim and challenging her...and myself. I figure, if we both don't eat out as much, we will both have a little extra $$$ and a few less lbs.. that's my way of thinking anyway. especially after these past few weeks....i really need to stay focused. I know we can do this....it's gonna be a lot harder than the tea challenge, but I have faith!!

[lovinaz]

That sounds like a good plan. I rarely get fast food, and if I do it is Subway. I don't even miss it and I bet you won't either.

 

[kmp1191]

I have to cheer on the blue team....the guy from TN is on there!!!
Ya know what that also means???? I'm gonna have to go dig Bob out of the cabinet and invite him back into my bedroom!!! (ok perv's!! that's where I can workout at!!!)
I think tomorrow is a good day to start that....don't you??!!
Ok...today I didn't do too good...
b-cheese danish
l-tuna on toast w/ chips
d-chicken fajita
water-40 oz, root beer 12 oz
exercise-none
resisted-candy drawer, coke machine, killing co-worker N.

Also, I have a photo shoot tomorrow night, and I'm leaving at noon on Friday to go see Sis in AL. I'm going to help her get ready for a garage sale!! Her husband actually called me and said he'd pay me to come get her organized!!! That's pretty scary!!!

I talked to mom tonight. She had an appointment with the oncologist today. Radiation for 5 weeks....everyday (cept Sat & Sun) for 5 friggin weeks!! It will burn, and she will have some pain (going potty and whatnot). She wasn't in a good mood tonight. First time since this all really started that I've heard her down. We all just want her 100% again. This still sucks!!

ok...i'm gonna go find Bob and make sure he's ready in the morning.

g-nite all....go hug your kids!!
marie

 

[kimwim8]

I'm with you...I definitely like the Blue Team better (even if there is a TN man on there ). I guess if you're gonna be visiting with Bob, then I should too, huh? GEEZ

You didn't do too too bad yesterday, and I'm glad you still got some water in. That is really important.

Keep up your spirits for mom, she's gonna need you and your snarkiness. She's always in my thoughts.

 

[lovinaz]

I hope those 5 weeks go by fast for your mom. I guess a pain in the @$$ for 5 weeks is better than the alternative, right?

Did you do Bob?

 

[CJK]

So was Bob as good as ever? Sorry to hear about your mom's struggle....but from all that you've said about her, she's a fighter and will get through it. Take it easy!

 

[kmp1191]

hey guys.
no bob this morning. woke up at 2am with a pounding migraine!! took 3 tylenol...was up again at 4 and then at 5:30. needless to say...not a good day in my world! i'm not using caps tonight because i don't want to....ok??!!

well, n was a total pain in the @$$ again. i didn't get fired up though...i just laughed at how pathetic she looks! another woman in the office L called me on my way home and told me not to sweat it. everyone is agitated/aggrivated about it, but what good is that gonna do us? she gave me some good advice.....i'm actually gonna follow it. let n make the fool out of herself...not us. i hate it when someone is more profound than me!
although, i did have to laugh today....bite my tounge in half almost!!! N was going after work to get her hair cut...by the same person that does the bosses....in the same style...only longer layers!!!!! i made the comment...(out loud) "anyone ever see the movie SINGLE WHITE FEMALE??" L shot me a look like ~OMG-YOU SAID THAT OUT LOUD!!! it was pretty funny. L was actually the only one that heard me!!

guys....i'm needing some extra PD around here lately. I've gained weight, i'm extra (extra) snarky, i'm lazy, and I hate this area more than ever. I know the weight gain is part of the problem, and I can address that.I know that when I start losing again, the laziness will go away, and i'll have more energy. (the snarkiness....well, that's a genetic flaw...can't do anything about that!)
but the area...I am hoping and praying so hard that DH will get a phone call about the application he put in. I want out of this state so bad I can't stand it anymore. It's not just at work either.....it's everywhere. I know the grass isn't always greener on the other side, but hell.....there's got to be more than this!!!
ok...i think i'm just a little down today. lack of sleep. lack of exercise.

ok. i did leave the office for lunch today. (it was that or kill someone.... ) I pass this field EVERY day when i take the kids to school and for 6 years, i have wanted to stop and take pictures. today, i did.
i might redo them tomorrow....let me know what you think....

Cotton Boll ( I think that's what it's called..?)

I like this one...DH said my depth of field (background) was a little too blurry.

DH likes this one better...??

And just a different angle.

ok. have a good evening. i'm gonna go throw some clothes in a bag for my weekend at sis's house.
later taters!!
don't let me fall off to page 2!!

Hi Marie-
Sorry i havent checked in in awhile.
I like the pictures!!PD with everything that is going on--you have had alot lately! i hope you enjoy the weekend at your sister's house!

 

[lovinaz]

I know you already know this, but exercise will help your mood AND your energy levels! So get back with it when you come back from your trip!

Have a wonderful visit!

 

[kmp1191]

SIs and I workd in garage #1 until about 11 last night. Got alot done. She was having a hard time parting with some stuff, and I told her she needed to prioritize her projects....I told her she had to honestly answer "When will I have time to do that?" Then she really started getting rid of some stuff!!
Today we are going to nieces soccer game this morning, then hitting garage #2 when we get back. (both are 2 car garages!!! FULL of crafting and woodworking stuff.) No biggie....just have to get it organized....

just pray the rain holds off.....I'm doing a Clean Sweep method and I need a dry yard!!!!

The drive over yesterday was a blast!! It's been a long ti e since I've had the vehilce to myself and let me tell you....FUN FUN FUN!!!! My stereo will only go up to 37 on the volume...and BonJovi at 37 is AWSOME!!!!!!! I missed 2 phone calls cuz I didn't hear it rings.... I also stopped at a K-Mart along the way. All of ours closed down....now I know why. K-Mart sucks. There was absolutely nothing in there. go figure.

Ok....I think I'm done rambling for now...gonna go call DH and the kids.
Have a great day ya'll!!!!

Sounds like you are having a great time!

I dont do it. I know I'm a rebel...but I think its all stepford- wifey.

I was told it was dear whatever, and since I have never in my life called anyone dear amything, I dont think I will start now!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey, Marie! Hope you are enjoying your weekend with your Sis!

Sending some of that extra pixie dust you were asking for! Hang in there! I can understand what you are saying. I have gained as well, not exercising cause I'm too lazy. I'm not snarky but worse just whiny and complainy all the time or worse yet crying I wish you added for the application for your DH!! My DH also has something in the works that I am REALLY hoping goes through. I am afraid yet to really speak of it so as not to jinx it.
You have so much going on right now that it is VERY understandable for you to feel this way sometimes. You just have to do the best you can every day and let go of what you can't control or handle that day. I know that it is hard, but you can do it! And you can come here and snark and complain to us all you need to Any time!

Way to go on getting out of the office at lunch and NOT going out to eat! I really like the pics! Another thing that you can do at lunch is try to find a nice picnic spot and eat lunch out doors while the weather is nice. I did that one day this week with 2 of my co-workers. It was really nice!

Have a GREAT weekend!!

ok....this is just to let you know how incredibly stupid I am. Yes, I'm going to admit something, and it'snot gonna be pretty!!!
I always thought the D in front of it stood for DIS.
DH=DisHusband
DS=DisSon
DD=DisDaughter
etc.

Ok....so I'm a DI (DisIdiot!!!)
I was on another forum board and someone used DH and I thought....hhhhmmmm...why are they using that over here....it's not the DIS.


Ok....i'm going to bed now. I worked at my sisters until 12:30 last night, got back out there at 7:30 this morning and finished up at 2:30. Showered and drove 3 1/2 hrs home. I'm sore, and tired!! (but I drove home in my jammies, so it wouldn't take as long when I got here!!! )

Nitey nite DF's = DisFREAKS!!!
DM = Dat'sME!!!

 

[lovinaz]

I'm glad you had such a great time with your sis.

Get some rest!

I have to admit, I thought the same thing when I first started here. The DIS was my first online discussion boards I joined, so it's only natural to think EVERYTHING on here relates to Disney.

Hope you got some rest after a killer weekend!

 

[kmp1191]

Hey ya'll
So....another day in the life of Marie has come and gone.
You may want to sit down and buckle in for this....it's a roller coaster for sure.
1) This weekend while I was at my sister's my husband was having some serious back/abdomonal pain. 2+ years ago he had these pains and had some tests run and was told he had a "sluggish gallbladder, and that it could go bad in 6 months or 6 years....no telling." He didn't call and tell me because he knew I'd come home. He also told me if I'd been home, he would have gone to the ER. Well, today he goes to the Dr. and guess what....it's time for the gallbladder to come out. They wanted him to check in to the hospital today, but he said no....so they are going to call tomorrow to schedule it.

2) My sister in law in Illinois was diagnosed w/ Lupis 8 years ago. She has been passing blood in her urine and has had a bunch of tests run. Apperantly, she is anemic. She will also have to go to North Western in Chicago for treatment. I don't know what it's called, but it is the equivalent of Chemo, but it's for Lupis patients. It's not a good thing...(from what my MIL told me). She will also have to have Kidney dialasis.

3) Mom's work is starting to jerk her around. Telling her that they only want her to work 1/2 days....etc. Mom is working full days now, and is going to schedule the radiation first thing in the morning, then go to work. The boss's wife there is trying to change mom's schedule...and trying to do her work. Mom is going to have a meeting w/ the boss first thing in the morning...hopefully he will see it her way.

4) I ran into the glass wall today.
yes...the same thing that I made fun of the customers about...I DID IT!!
Ok...let me tell you what happened. One of the mgrs. from downstairs called and said..."someone stole the ink out of my printer." I said...ok...come get another one. he did, then calls back up to me and said, "they broke the printer. I've had 3 guys working on it, and can't get the ink cartridge to go in"
I said..ok..i'll be down in a second. The whole time I'm thinking...you idiots...why would someone steal your ink cartridge?? Ok...so I go downstairs and go to walk in the door and BOOM....right into the glass!! I put my hand up just in time....my hand and right b@@b ran smack into it!! It was fricking loud....and hilarious!!! 3 guys in the office....1 busts up laughing and about wet himself..the other 2 were worried that I'd hurt myself. I was so embarrassed!!! but I laughed right along w/ them!
ok...so now on to the printer....i open the top and nothing happens. i'm looking at it and said...is it on? they said no, it's not working! i looked at it and the carrier that the ink snaps into is all the way to the other side....under the lid that doesn't lift up. i reach in and pull it over and VIOLA! There's the missing ink!!! Right were they left it!!! I turned around to all three of them and said..."Ok..here's the deal.... every person you tell about me running into the glass, I tell about the missing ink...DEAL??!!!" We were all laughing our butts off!!!! (in other words...mum's the word!)
So, by the end of the day, EVERYONE knew about me running into the wall, and EVERYONE knew about the idiots and the missing ink....oh, and that the printer was unplugged as well!!!

so....now that today is done...i'm going to go sit and do nothing for a few minutes. I have a hearing test tomorrow....supposed to take most of the day....(yeah.) and hopefully we'll hear from DH's dr.

talk to you all soon!!!
stay safe, and watch our for glass walls!!
