Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hi, Marie! Sorry I've been MIA for so long!

Lots of for all that you have been going through!

Lots of for the house deal! Hopefully they will be able to rent it out, FAST!

You've been doing so much, with the move, new job, dealing with ornery (sp?) kids, crazy dogs, sick family, unselling house and yet you still have been taking care of yourself with your food and exercise! You are an inspiration to this mere mortal

I hope that this weekend you are taking some down time to pamper yourself! You need that every now and then!

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

Hope you're getting lots of rest and relaxation in this weekend....Sending prayers and your way.

Not much to post these days.
Food has been crap for the most part! (my own fault...as I sit here eating Dairy Queen!) Exercise has been non-existant...but that's going to change TODAY!!

There is a job listed in the paper today for a photographers assistant....I'm going to do a resume' strictly for that and see what happens....

Otherwise...same ol' same ol...

later taters~
marie

 

[kmp1191]

Hey guys~
Back to work tomorrow... - can't wait...really.
Anyway, got the resume' sent....keep your fingers crossed that's it's legit, decent, and pays well!!!
Also got in touch w/ a neighbor and we're gonna start carpooling the kids to school!! I'll drop off, and she'll pick up!! That way DH won't have to get up in the middle of the day!
Let's see....went to Sams and got groceries....didn't do too bad. Not as many fruits and veggies, they just didn't look good today.

Ok....I posted on Jen's journal that the Breast Cancer 5K is coming up in October (13th to be exact)....I realize I won't be ready to run the whole thing, but I"m thinking about getting started on the training and going ahead and signing up....what do ya think? I enjoyed the other races I ran....but that seems like a lifetime ago....and I'm REALLY afraid of all the darn hills around here....you go up, but never really come back down!!!
I'm gonna sleep on it and decide in the morning....my gut is telling me to just do it, but my legs are saying...hey'...wait a minute!!!

talk to ya's soon!

Hi Marie,

on the job. I hope it pans out for you. What have you decided about the race? I say go with the gut. It is rarely wrong. Having a race looming, may be the incentive you need to get out there. You don't have to run, you can WALK it you know.

I hope you have a great Monday.
Beth

 

[lindalinda]

Hi marie! Trying to catch up since I've been MIA. Hope everything works out and the house gets rented out soon! that will take the pressure off.

I agree, you can walk the 5k instead of run. We have one here at derby time every year called the Ramble for the Roses. It's hilly too so its harder than you think. Do you know where the race is laid out so you can check it out? They might even have a walker start time, sometimes they have it as a family event, if I am making sense.

Try to relax and destress!


nite

 

[kimwim8]

Hey girlie. I say DO IT!! Sign up. You can absolutely finish a 5k, whether it's running, walking or a combination. It's a great cause, and it's a great incentive.

pixie dust for the job. I know photography is very important to you...and you're GREAT at it!

 

[toystoryduo]

I think the 5K sounds like a great idea, Marie because you can run or walk it. If you sign up, you can be sure that we'll be cheering you on from Ohio the day of the race!

Sending lots of for the photography job and for your house.

Hope you have a great Tuesday!

Hi guys~
Haven't been on much the past few days...
I have had the weirdest headache for the past few days...since Monday.. ...it's a really weird feeling behind my ear/neck area. I'm not sure if it's a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle...but it hurts pretty bad at times. When it starts hurting, I get really nauseaus and numb. Any doctors out there?? My (new) boss...(bigbird) gave me the number to his chiropractor...I might call him tomorrow....

Anyway, still haven't decided on the 5K yet. One of the girls in the office's mother is doing it with a team from her work....already paid...and she's going to see if they have 2 spots left....if so, they're ours!!! (I'd LOVE to do it...but we'll see!)
Work is still ok. Just not the warm fuzzies/ heated discussions like the old place...and these people just don't understand my humor/saracasm. Southerners!!

Oh...I got my curtains up on Monday night....(is that when my neck/head started hurting???) and then DH helped me get my pictures up last night...and then he went back to Memphis today and got my (ugly) kitchen table!! The apartment is officially (for now) done!

Let's see...what else.....no excercise this week....head issues. Food has been bad.....Bad.....BAD!!!
DH leaves on Sunday for 2 weeks...(he'll be home on the weekends)...so while he's gone I'm going to get DS and myself over to the gym...we both have too much in the midsection!!!

Ok....I'm gonna go to bed now....Between the head and the dog...sleep hasn't been too steady this week!

nite friends.....
remai

 

[kimwim8]

Hey girl. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Definitely get that neck/head thing checked out. Could've been something from hanging curtains. I swear by my chiropractor.

Miss ya, seems like years since we've talked.

 

[kmp1191]

TGIF!!! (TBIOR!!) (to bad I'm outta rum!! )

Frickin' day!! Had a b-day party at work...just about EVERYONE brings something...dips,(co-workers & food), chips, fruit,cookies,cake, etc!!! ALL DAY PEOPLE WERE EATING!!!! around 3pm I started to clean stuff up and put stuff away and they were like "No...we're still eating!!! I just left it alone....pig out peeps!!

I'm still not sure about this place....lots of double standards....lots of favoritism.....lots of crap in general. DH told me to send out some more resume's....I think I will. I can't see myself in this environment for long. (lots of moral issues....or should I say lack of morals in general..i.e. Peyton Place!!

Uncle had a morphine drip put in today...(morphine IV). Talked to dad....not good....

talk to ya's soon!

WHY ARE YOU OUT OF RUM?! GO shopping NOW --iits 5;00 somewhere

I think your DH is right--send out some more resumes--that way you have the option--doenst mean you HAVE to leave , but you have choices, you know?

So sorry to hear your uncle had a morphine drip put in--ill keep him ini my prayers..

so what are ya up to this weekend?!

Have a great day my friend

 

[kmp1191]

First of all...thanks Jen & Kim for boo-ing me...love it!! I'll follow the directions later!!

Second~ WTH is wrong w/ me? I swear I need prozac or zoloft!! I'm losing my frickin' mind!!
(ok...just had to get that out!)

I took the kids on an adventure Saturday....we found a park about a mile (3/4?) from the house....stopped and played there for a little bit....I asked another parent where some stuff was and they gave me some directions...albeit, not good directions, but...eventually we found the B-ham Botanic Garden and right across is the Zoo!!! I chose the Botanic Garden because it's free!!! It was frickin' beautiful!! We only covered about half of it because it was a little warm and we didn't have any water....and because I wanted to be able to go on another adventure in the future! (The fern valley was the coolest!!! Fern fossils on the walking path!!) Oh, and the coolest thing...I didn't bring my camera, so I got to enjoy it through my eyes...not the camera lense!!! Ok..so then we leave and get completely turned around...not lost mind you...just turned around....twice!!! I made the loop around the city.....twice!!! (music loud, sunroof open...1/4 tank of gas....who cares!!)

Ok....so Sunday we went to church and relaxed. Sunday evening I tell DH to walk the dog with me...he does and thank goodness he did!! DA dog decides he wants to play w/ a beagle and takes off running. Stupid me wasn't using the retractable leash....I've got my nylon rope leash wrapped around my hand!!! Yeah....so now I have this major burn/cut going across the palm of my hand!! It's actually blistered!! Man, it hurt really bad!!! I carried an ice pack around for the next 5 hours, then finally went to bed with a bag of ice in my hand!! I tried to get online last night, but I couldn't type...it hurt that bad!!

Work is still the same. I think I know what my problem is there.....these people are just weird!! One guy comes in the office and sticks his tounge out at me....EVERY TIME HE COMES IN THE OFFICE!!! Can you say....3rd grade?? Also we still have "A" and the F bombs...and then there's "B" and her 3 boyfriends....one is in jail...one is 12 years older than her, divorced w/ 2 kids and the third...works there and is married!!! Come on....say it with me....CLASSY!!! Then there's my boss that was basically born w/out a spine!! the man is 6 ft tall and is the biggest puss I've ever met!! I really...REALLY have a hard time working for someone I don't respect. OH,OH,OH.....boss (bigbird) hired a new woman...(one is moving to a different dept)...get this....the woman is 61....(looks every bit of 85!) and dresses like the 16-18 yr olds!! TOTAL HOOCHIE MAMA!!! (no,not all 16-18 yr olds are hoochie...just want to clarify that!)(Tight jeans, barbie heels, off the shoulder shirts, big purple eyeshadow!!!) And she goes on and on about the different 30 something salesmen...which one's are married..etc!!!
Yep....time to keep looking!

One last thing....food has sucked and exercise has been non-existant! I've gained about 50 lbs this week alone!!! (maybe only 5+, but it feels like 50!)

ok...gonna go fold clothes and call it a night...too much excitement for me these days!!

[kimwim8]

We miss you too, girly. Another thing I miss is the snarky Marie. Give those people hell, girl. Don't get aggrevated with them, just give it back to them. Act like them, and they'll be SHOCKED!! (minus the hoochie clothes. draw the line somewhere )

Send out those resumes....see what else is around. Can't hurt while you're collecting your paycheck from these weirdos.

 

[lindalinda]

gotta love the hoochie grammomma! I so know that woman!

I do agree with the sending out more resumes. You never know, and its not like you are beholden to this company or anything.
It kinda sounds like "office" tho to me.

Loved hearing about the adventure, sounds like a wonderful find,dont you love those?

have a nice nite

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi There,

SO glad to have the snarky Marie around. I agree that it does sound like the Office. If nothing else, you will always have good stories for your memoirs. Do you need stamps for those resumes?

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are under a tremendous amount of stress. You are doing really well.

Take care,
Beth

 

[kmp1191]

Evenin' peeps!
Ok....get the prayers & pixie dust going....and lay it on thick!! Had another agent show the house today...the couple had put ours #1 on their list to see!!! My agent told their agent to make an offer and let's make it happen!!!

Work was ok today...."A" was in another part of the building most of the day so it was generally quiet. Still not sure what the future holds for me at this place....just biding my time for now.
DH is home tonight, so I'm gonna stock up on some snuggle time. ....(and pay some bills!! )

Catch ya'll later!!
marie

 

[kmp1191]

Guess what guys.....I'm on the verge of a MAJOR breakdown!!!
I'm about to sell my soul to the devil on this house issue!! Haven't heard from their agent yet...don't even know if they went and saw it!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! (why don't they have a straight jacket smilie???)

Oh, and I did lose it at work today!! Snarky Marie left the building and Bi$%#y Marie took her place! Oh yeah...it was classic! "A" made a smart comment about me not finishing a journal entry and I went off!! I told her I didn't need her hovering over me 24/7 and I sure as hell wasn't going to put up with her condiscending tone! I said something about not being able to finish a damn thing because she wouldn't shut her fricking ('cept i didn't use frick..... ) mouth long enough for anyone to be able to concentrate, let alone finish something! She just sat there.... I then went off about not being comfortable with this job because everyone had their hands in the pot in some way or another!! (one person "sometimes" receipts the money...one person "sometimes" cuts the checks....etc) I told her I don't work that way. She said, well, that's how "P" wants it done. I said, well then maybe he needs to find someone else to do it!! Or better yet, why don't you just stay here and do it because obviously he can't do his job without consulting you first!!! (yeah....i'm a bit stressed....ya think?)
Oh, and I told ya'll about the 61 yr old hoochie....well today she wore a tank top!!! Oh, she had a button shirt over it, but actually took it off for most of the day!! It was frickin' gross!!! She was on her cell phone....(for about 30 minutes) all laid back in her chair with one arm up over her head...I swear one of those saggin' things was gonna just flop right out!! Oh...that's right...she's been here a week and it's ok for her to get cell phone calls, but when my kids call to tell me they're home from school, I get THE LOOK!! screw him....them....all of it!!!

yep....still out of rum....I don't think that would help tonight either....

guys....I think I'm gonna take some time off from here....I hate posting all the negative all the time, and I think ya'll are probably tired of hearing it....the food and exercise have been total crap, and this is supposed to be a HEALTHY board. I'm far from healthy....mentally, physically and emotionally!!
If/when something happens with the house, I'll let ya know.
Oh, and I'll still check in on ya'll stuff from time to time...you know I can't leave for good....I still have to pick on Kim & Jen....and I know Linda's sanity level with her job is on the brink too....so I'll be around...

Love ya'll.....I really do!!
marie

 

[lindalinda]

Dont go marie! I love hearing your stories. I know its been rough, I've kinda been doing the same thing. I think its good to get the bad stuff off your chest.

If its bringing you down and what you need to do tho, I support you girl!

Just come back when you can. Keep sending out resumes, I think you need to find a better fit as soon as you can.

 

[kimwim8]

I completely respect your decision, Marie. Take the time you need. I know you will find the job you are MEANT to have in TN.

We love you. Post when you can.
