    They don't let me cook

    I am not sure why, but my hubby's family never wants me to cook anything for holiday meals. At Thanksgiving, I was asked to bring a vegetable tray and now for Christmas, I was asked to bring a cheese and cracker tray. I am probably the best cook out of all of the family, so it kind of irks me...

    Back to work!

    It is only a seasonal position, but I will be bringing in an extra $500 a week for the next 5 weeks. I am so excited! Not having to constantly stress about how I am going to pay bills is going to let me be a whole lot less stressed. I might even be able to put a little away for later.

    New scar

    After bouncing down a few steps and repelling off the edge of my basement stairs, I ended up with a new scar. It runs down my left side from just under my bra line to my hip. It is going to be real pretty come bathing suit season!

    Are you cooking?

    I am getting off easy this week. I just have to prepare a vegetable tray. Who has to cook the full meal? What are you preparing? How many people are you cooking for?

    Tired

    I don't know why, but I woke up today feeling like I have not slept in a week. I need to get some more energy going soon, because I have to be at work in about an hour. I think it might just be the weather. It is so gloomy and cold.

    Essential oils - I am a believer

    I had heard a lot of talk about essential oils, but I had never actually tried them for myself. I was at a women's expo the other day and there was a woman running Compass scans. Basically, you put your hand on this device and it scans your body for imbalances using your bodies biomarkers. She...

    Negativity

    Why is it that some people always have to point out the negative in a situation? I am a glass half full kind of person, but I know a lot of people are constantly seeing it half empty. It sucks all the joy out of life when you think that way.

    Lymphoma

    My dad was just diagnosed with lymphoma this week and I have to say that I am really worried. Does anyone have any experience with this type of cancer? Does it have a high recovery rate? We won't know much more until next week after he sees the specialist.

    Slipped disk

    All day yesterday I felt like someone had punched me in the back of my head. I realized early on it was because the vertebra that meets my head had slipped to the right side and wasn't where it should be. After several attempts at massaging it back in to place failed, I decided on a hot bath...

    Lost the last 10!

    I was in training for the last month at a very physical job. The job didn't end up working out, but it did help me lose that last stubborn 10 pounds I needed to shed. Now my problem is that I don't have any clothes that fit and I don't have any money to buy new ones!

    Lost 4 pounds

    I recently started a new job that is very physically demanding and even though I have been eating really badly, I have still lost 4 pounds. I hope that this trend continues because I love being able to eat what I want and still lose weight.

    Runny nose

    I am so annoyed today because I woke up with a runny nose and it is just about non-stop. I don't have the time to stop every second and blow my nose. Besides that, it is starting to give me a headache. I sure hope that I am not getting a sinus infection.

    Cleaning the fridge

    I am trying to clean up our old refrigerator today because we got a new one. We don't need the old one anymore, but it's still in decent shape so we are going to toss it up on Craigslist and sell it. It hasn't been that long since it was cleaned last, but it is pretty messy for some reason.

    Minor league baseball

    Our town has a minor league baseball team and we have been to a couple of games this summer. They are the call up team for the LA Dodgers. I am scared for the future of the MLB if these are what they have to choose from. Has anyone else watched a minor league game lately?

    Where is the year going?

    It seems like it was just New Years and now it is almost Christmas again.. Why does it seem that the older I get, the faster time goes? I am not ready for the end of another year just yet.

    Ready for sleep

    I had a very busy day yesterday and I am paying for it today. I am so exhausted today that I just can't get myself motivated to do anything. I have to work today so I really can't go to bed, but I would like to!

    Tired of the gunk eye

    My allergies have been horrible this year and I just can't seem to kick the conjunctivitis that comes along with them. It isn't contagious at all, but it is gross to be constantly wiping goop out of my eyes. I have a deviated septum so my sinuses don't drain like they should and it backs up to...

    It's official! Tomorrow we start pulling up the carpet so that we can lay the new engineered hardwood floor. We got it for half price because it was a special order return. It is going to look awesome.

    Learned something new

    Today I learned that tomatoes are not annuals but perennials. I came across a random tomato plant in the garden area, but I didn't plant any this year. It is a leftover from last year. how weird is that? I am pretty excited about having fresh tomatoes this year though.
