hmmm, cool!
So I finally got with the program and downloaded a livejounal client to use on my computer. it's interesting..
what else is new? it's been a crazy day. I woke up at 7:30 for church and was surprisingly awake for it being so early (and I went to bed at 1 something so that's even more surprising really). Anyway I was awake, got dressed and we went to church... then I started having death cramps. (yeah it's that time of the month, nothing to be alarmed about, but they HURT!) and they were combined with intense hunger pangs, yeah an UGLY combo. So church was kind of miserable today...
came home, at some cereal, popped some ibuprofen and went back to bed. I slept for 3 hours.. DEEEEP sleep. and I had these messed up dreams- just yuck. SO when I woke up, I was feeling a bit out of sorts mentally, but physically better at least *phew*. had some lunch and chilled out for a bit.. then Q, Alex and Chirstopher went to this concert at Fredonia. Braden and Stephen were working on things around the hosue, so I was watching Benjamin, and he was fussy today. he was okay for a while, but he wouldn't play by himself and therefore I couldn't get anything done. I did a bit of work on my room, but it's still pretty strugglin. oh well. and then I put him for a nap, but the kid wouldn't sleep! he was obviously tired but he was fighting it SO HARD.. so I played with him some more then put him back to sleep. finally he slept for a while and I did the laundry and cleaned up a bit. he woke up, still kinda cranky, ate a TON of dinner, then when I put him for the night, he actually went to sleep without crying! (amazing, he hasn't been sleepnig well lately.)
it was just one of those days I wanted to take care of some stuff, and I would have done it this morning had I not felt so wretched (I knew I would have Benjamin for the afternoon/evening) but I had to sleep my morning away. s'all good though....
I'm just babbling. it's raining like CRAZY! I swear it's rained almost every day since I got back from my vacation. Buffalo has weird weather. it rains all fall and spring, snows all winter and gets hot in the summer. eh whatev, man.
crap, speaking of laundry, there is still a load in the dryer! ....okay, done. LOL
right, so Q and I are going to seriously get on the calorie counting trend starting tomorrow. No more excuses. and we're going to figure out some sort of exercise deal. Because this cannot continue.. I need to grow some willpower and get healthy and lose some damn weight. I hate shopping for clothes cuz nothing fits me right so I have to do something about it! and I'm going to try my best to quit the Mt. Dew... again.. I've tried a few times but we all know how well that turned out. I just didn't want it enough. but now I do, I really do. So I'm going to buckle down and get the job done.
(sounds good, eh?!) we'll see how long I last.. we are going for 3 weeks on the diet, to see what happens. I will quit Mt. Dew for 3 weeks and see what happens. I can do it. I've given up mt. dew for Lent twice (and that's 40 days!)
okay now that I've given myself a pep talk.. LOL
anything else good to chat about tonight? dunno.. I feel like I'm forgetting something important..... but I can't imagine what that might be. I'm very nervous about this potential job in Memphis.. it would be super fun! (but I would HATE to move again, moving SUCKS so much! and I'd have to leave my babies again!) but at the same time, the benefits are worth the emotional price I'd pay... *sigh* why is life so hard!? of course, I'm not letting myself get too worked up about it (though I did some preliminary apt researching just in case) because if I don't get the job, I don't want to be too crushed. I didn't let on, but I was really seriosly bummed out about that job in Chicago, it was my dream position at this time in life. the Memphis one looks good, and it would be a great way to get some more experience (and no sales!) but it's not 100% the direction that I want, like the Chicago one.. and when I didn't get that.. well yeah. anyway so I don't let myself get too high until there is something to celebrate, and then I won't get too low if it falls through.
oh but how weird is this? There are 2 ppl who work for the Riverkings who graduted from the University of Dayton. Craziness! and 2 players that I've known before- Jason Sessa, who played for Dayton for a while, and Louis Dumont, who played for the Grizz last year. Maybe Louis would put in a good word for me. LOL
....*abrupt subject change*... one of these days I have to sit down and download all the pics from our Toronto trip, then the trip to the 1000 Islands and the vacation pics. that's a lot of pictures to be sharing.. I just realized yesterday that I have so much crap on my camera that needs to be shared! and I have some new pics of Benjamin too.. so hopefully sometime this week, maybe I'll get the re-sizing done tonight so I can post them soon. yeah, I'm off to do that!
