Memorial Day Monday

Post by: Chris on May 26th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

Yes, I am stuck at work today this Holiday. Believe it or not, I do like working Holidays! It is sooo quiet, there are only about 6 of us in the entire room when normally there are over 50.
It’s been a busy weekend and I did not have any time to blog at all. I have noticed tho, that lots of blogges are this way as well.
We went out and got some Flowers to plant and plant them I did. However, today it is pouring rain so I hope they don’t drown. We didn’t get too many, as the prices were a tad high, but I did get a killer deal on Tomatoes. 4 for $2.49 ! They look good too! Now I just need some teak outdoor furniture to sit on and watch them grow. Yeah, right, like I have time to Sit !

We also saw Indy 4. Great Show ! One cannot compair it to the other 3 Indy’s tho, but I feel this movie was great non-the-less. It gave me the impression of the end of one era and the start of another era. I would not be suprized if Shia LeBeouf came back as the Next Generation Indiana Jones. The movie sure gave enough clues to suggest it! I wont go into details, so you will just have to see it yourself.

Some Good News

Post by: Chris on May 23rd, 2008 | File Under Health

Well. For the past few month, okay several months, I have been doing just terrible with my weight issues. Today tho, I woke up, stood on the scale as was at 146.8. I know, not that great, but it is going down not up and thats a good thing! In 2004 I was at my all time high of 184. I have gotten down to 140. Ohhh, that was so nice, but nearly impossible for me to maintain. I am 5′ 9″ tall and no, I am not using that as an excuse, but for me 140 is very very hard. I will be happy at 142. So this means I just have about 4 lbs to loose! I can do this ! ! ! I need to get on track more and check in w/my blogger pals more and participate more w/them. I need to put this in my side bar, but for today cus I am at work and have limited access, I will just put the link in this email. XO

Security

Post by: Chris on May 23rd, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I was watching the news again last night, but this time it was okay and not too depressing. They had a blip about Teen age drivers. I guess they now have this GPS tracking devise that you can install in your car and whenever you want to, you can log into their site and see where your kiddo is, how fast he is going and lots more info. I want one of those. My son is turning 15 in a couple years so I have to plan in advance, heeheehee. Anyways, We also have a security system in our house. Its pretty cool. What it does not have is camera’s though. I would love to see what is going on at all time. At work we have cameras too; these days it is hard to get privacy, but I feel that if you are not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. I can get everything I need online, even CCTV security monitors. And if I want ID Cards I can get them on line too. It’s a great site and I have wondered if my work place uses IT Planet as we have to swipe our badge to even get in the front door.

You Need Some Red in Your Life


Red will make you feel energetic, passionate, and determined.
And with a little red, you will project an aura of warmth.
If you want to feel intensely, you’ve got to get some red in your life!

For extra punch: Combine red with orange or pink

The downside of red: Red can provoke anger or rage. Watch out!

The consequences of more red in your life:

You will feel more enthusiasm for life
You will have the confidence to go after what you want
You will have a lot more physical energy

Slump

Post by: Chris on May 23rd, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I really have to dig myself out of this slump I seem to have fallen into. I want to blame it on the Weather. Yesterday our high was 52 degrees; which was an all time low for that day. We should be around 75 degrees! I know I have not been getting enough Vitamin D. The Sun provides a lot for me and also Milk. I have not been getting enough of either one. I try very hard not to place blame and take it upon myself, but I do know what my body needs and right now it needs SunShine and warmth. I want to wear my boardshorts again, I want to plant Flowers and Tomatoes, and I want to see a Movie and relax.
Thanks goodness today is Friday *sigh*

I cannot do that !

Post by: Chris on May 21st, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I knew there was a reason I never watch the news . . . Well today I did. They say the price of Gas will go up and hit $7.00 a gallon in the future. I cannot afford that. It would totally break me. That is almost double of what it is now, and even now I am hurting. We have cut down on so many things, mostly fun things too ! We dont go anywhere, dont buy anything but food clothing and pay the bills. My friend at work had to get a second job and I have been thinking about that as well. The problem there is that I would never see my son. This is really getting me depressed, so depressed that I need to go rest on my bed with my nice mattress topper to ease this throbbing pain in my head.
If this does come to pass . . . I just dont know if I can do this alone anymore.

Monday

Post by: Chris on May 19th, 2008 | File Under Health

Well. Monday is here. I have the munchies so bad too. Right now I am eating bite size pretzels. I can eat 15 of them for around 130 calories. So if I drink water w/them, they should expand in my stomach and I should be good for a few hours. I hope.
I already ate my 110 calorie Bagel, my Coffee, my Watermellon and there is a box of donuts sitting across the row. I have to be strong and not eat them too ! ! They will hurt me today if I do.
Yesterday we had a BBQ at my folks house and I gained 1.7 lbs in one day. I really hate that when that happens.
I still have my Apple and Strawberries left. That has to last me 4 hours. ugh.

*sigh*
