It was only a week ago that I got up and signed online because I couldn't sleep. Here I am, again. I wonder if I'm having anxiety issues about going to work on Mondays? I feel the exact same as I did last week. Tired, but wide awake. I even had a drink tonight and lately booze has been putting me right to sleep. I know that I'm feeling stressed at ( Read more... )

I'm making a wedding cake for my co-worker in June. We've pretty much settled on a design and a price. I spent A LOT of money buying really nice cake pans (they will double for my wedding cake, as well). I even signed up to take a Wedding Cake class at the cake supply store. I want to make sure I have as much practice and assistance as possible, ( Read more... )

Ok, Coo. I have to ask... when you get adjusted on a regular basis (3 times a week, as I am now), should I expect to always be this sore? Today is the first time I would actually describe what I'm feeling as "pain"- my lower back on one side is hurting. Otherwise, I just feel sore, and usually the day after I'm adjusted I feel incredibly stiff. I ( Read more... )

 I hate, hate, HATE it when I can't sleep at night. I laid down a little after 9:30 and now it's 11:48 and I can't fall asleep. I even got up to try and watch TV because I was hoping it would help. It always puts Don to sleep. No luck. I was hoping for something on PBS, but they have some show on about Denver - it's like a congress show. Not going ( Read more... )

I just realized exactly how little I've followed my stress-relief plan that I had for this year. It's only March and it's fallen off hard. When I get really stressed, I eat horrible, too. I just want junk food. That doesn't help, I know. I have been trying to work out more- this week was my best week so far. Since I've been working at the store at ( Read more... )

 Yes, that's right! Yesterday, I bought my dress, the one that I originally thought was "the dress." In case you don't remember which one it is, here's some pictures:

Let me see if I can do this without it becoming a total rant. Today was a co-worker's last day at work. We try to have something special for people when it's their last day. For Brenda, my supervisor, the company took everyone to a steakhouse down the road for lunch. Since it's the time of year that we are broke, I knew that we couldn't do that for ( Read more... )

I've been sooo busy the last few weeks. It hasn't helped that I haven't been sleeping well the last 2 weeks. I can't tell if it's the lack of sleep that's affecting my stress level or if it's the stress level causing me to not sleep- or if it's just a vicious cycle that keeps feeding itself. Either way, I've been having a really hard time waking up ( Read more... )

So, when I was debating what was the appropriate way to announce to my friends that I was newly engaged, I decided posting on LJ wouldn't be the best option, since you guys hardly ever update on here. So, on Tuesday night (after getting engaged) I posted the following bulleting on MySpace: 
"Wedding Bells
Just wanted to let everyone know that Don and ( Read more... )

So, I've officially been engaged for 3 days now and I've already got dressed picked out that I want to try on and flowers and colors picked out. Is that crazy? It makes me feel crazy.  Just a little. haha. It also makes me happy. I think we are planning a very small wedding this fall ( Read more... )
