so many things it is hard to list.

hoping you all enjoy your long weekend, and that you all have a large list of things to be thankful for too!

ODE TO A HEMOPHILIAC...

Ever have one of those days where you feel silly and giddy.........you start out on something, a conversation, and it just takes a life of it's own. that is the day my friend/co-worker and i had yesterday! we laughed for over 3 hours about blood clots!!! WHILE SPEAKING IN AN ENGLISH ACCENT TO ADD?? TO IT!!

we started out pretending we were English vampires at a bar ordering drinks......"I'll have a clot on the rocks and a bloody Mary please!"
by the end we were quoting Shakespeare adding in the word clot!
so here is the ODE TO A HEMOPHILIAC.........
TO CLOT OR NOT TO CLOT....THAT IS THE QUESTION.
CLOT, CLOT,..........WHEREOUT THOU CLOT????

WELL, I have really over 3 hours of material...........like the vampires party mix CD...featuring hits such as "BRIDGE OVER BLOODY WATERS"....and "1-2-3-o'clock 4 o'clock clot"

you may be wondering "what the hell"...............but it is still making me laugh so hard right now .


in other bloody news.............nothing...i have bled out!!!

WEEKEND.........

Well... it is friday. my day off..........lets clarify....my day off of my paid place of employment. today i had the house to clean......man! it was gross!! i choose dark floors and counters in the new house..........obviously had no forsight into reality when i did this! EVERY...AND I MEAN EVERY crumb, dustbunny, and footprint is clearly visable, and due to our schedules i haven't taken the time to vaccuum or wash the floor in 2 weeks! NOT KIDDING!!! my feet looked like i had walked outside barefoot in the dirt pile before i got it washed today!!!
then there was the numerous odd jobs that needed to be done..........got most of them off the list. i just dropped one kid at a birthday, one is still at a playdate, and the oldest is in the shower?? why is unknown!! now as my husband / cook will not be home for diiner i have to cook. HELLO M&M MEATS food store. it is only my second time shopping there, but we choose the won-ton soup...................then i got home and read the back...990gm of sodium!!!!!low fat and sugar though! eating healthy is a full time job.

another busy weekend is upon us! tomorrow our daughter is in an all day volleyball tournament, and i have girls group! looking forward to both! girls group is a wine and cheese tasting mixed with a full size pictonary game. i LOVE games.........and pictonary just happens to be my favorite!
sunday, so far the only thing going on is delivering flyers and going to the gym.

so i have said often that i would enjoy writing an advice coloum for our local little paper......i ALMOST got the nerve to ask if they are looking for somthing like that today when i was there placing an ad. (the ad was for a large detatched garage for rent in downtown strathmore if anyone is interested. winter is coming and it would make an excellent place to store summer stuff, or park a vehicle to avoid witner snow brushing off!! we can negotiate the price for the right vender)

anyway...........it's not like i think i have the answer to lifes problems, or possess a PHD.....i just think i have a smart ass remark to any and all of lifes situations..............

well you all have a great wekend...............some sort of finders gift to anyone who finds me a garage renter..............AND NO!!!! THEY CANNOT LIVE IN THE GARAGE!!!

BEING SICK AND KEEPING FIT...ON OXI-MORON??

well i have a head cold. full sinus, plugged, then runny nose, headache behind the eyes and inbetween them.
BUT I AM TELLING MYSELF I AM FINE!!!
left work early and intended to just lay down for 10 min.....fell asleep! (oops)

but here is the real kicker.........i am on a "get healthy journey"
as of tomorrow i have been going to the gym for 2 months. i have never skipped a planned nite, and added an extra night just this past weekend on the advice of my trainer. i am a mental case, and am scared that if i miss a night due to head cold i will find other and numerous excuses to never go back.

so last night i went to yoga.....2 hours of yoga.........5 friends, my mat, my own box of kleenex, and me!..........brings a whole new meaning to "DOWNWARD DOG" WHEN YOUR NOSE IS RUNNY! GROSS!!!!!!

tonight Jason and I went to the gym.( i am slowly weaning off my trainer, basically due to financial reasons, and long term life style changes (thats my trainer's words)), so jason and i did my routine. we worked out hard..........and i could feel my throat getting sorer by the minute!

my point being this...........DON'T YOU FIND IT IRONIC THAT AS I TRY TO WORK HARD TO GET MY BODY HEALTHY, MY BODY SEEMS TO BE WORKING HARD SPREADING THE SICKNESS FROM MY HEAD TO MY THROAT!!!!!

in case you were wondering, measure day last week at the gym was another sucess. not as large as the previous one, but i am told that too is normal. i lost another 1.5 inces off my belly, for a total of 3.5 off just my belly. think i have lost a total of 12 inches over the entire body.

yes, dispite, if am being honest, i would like overnight drastic results, i am proud of myself.

SAVING AT LEAST $100

school pictures never even used to be a thought at our house. it was a givin that we would always buy them.........until this year. i realized during spring cleaning a couple of weeks ago that LAST YEARS school pictures are still in the original envelope, never making it into a frame for our home, let alone getting into cards and sending to relatives..........who most likely just put them into the garbage after a token stay on the fridge.

SO.........this year i am rebelling! no i am not a great photograher......i do not own a great camera, but thanks to a gift from my husband, i do own a digital camera now. i took the kids down to kinsmen park today..........fall being my favorite season, the leaves there made a beautiful background, and in litterally 7-10 min i had captured moments worthy of replacing school pictures!

this one of ethan ..i uploaded wrong pic...and cannot figure out how to erase it! HELP TWINK!
