This is what i'm thinking

2009-06-06T21:08:00.001-07:00

Some people are going to die old lonely women, and I'm going to laugh when they do...

So something happier after that bitter thought.... I'm going to be a momma... my due date, January 10th.

To all those who now hate me.... HAHAHAHAHA I have a loving husband and a child now, what you are doing, living along, like you'll always will be, bitter, angry, and thinking you're better than everyone else. HAH

People are rude. Down right rude. This guys was cussin at me yesterday because he can't keep track of his money and he got overdraft fees. He cussed at me because he's stupid. I've been kind of frustrated lately. Not feeling appreciated, not just at work, but in general. I don't do things to get credit, but a thanks is nice every once in a while.

In more happier news, the rose tree bush whatever you call it had some flowers bloomed on it. It made my day.

Since this was so succesful I decided to buy some more flowers... Pictures to come. Tomorrow should be a good day, church, and then a bbq with friends. I made a yummy orzo shrimp salad. It should be great.

The Ungrateful brat signing on, I have been on here lately, have many reasons why, not one in particular. Everything in life is just the same ol' same ol'. I've been really sick this past week. I'm seeing an end to it though finally. I'm so tired of being sick! My dad still doesn't have a job, but it can only go up from here, that's what I keep thinking, keep telling him, and tell people that come into my work who are currently unemployed. One lady seemed really suprised that I said that but enjoyed hearing these encouarging words. Sometimes people just need to hear something positive. I don't know if I'll see that lady ever again but if I made her day then good! I know my previous post seems kind of discouraging or whatever but I guess I've decided I'm sort of done with some things that we were in my life. I've tried to do what I could do. And I'm done. God has blessed me with some incredible people in my life now. People I know I can tell anything to. I even talk to my parents more! So that's where I'm at. Not a ramboling post of hatred but ramboling none the less! I hope everyone is well!

Loves!!

Back from Vacation

2009-03-30T18:39:00.000-07:00

We are back from vacation. It was nice to get out of SC and see family. Man I wish we were closer. But really I'm here to make a annoucement. I'm not ungrateful. I was pretty much told that I was ungrateful. It wasn't my fault me nor my family was able to show gratitude to people who rushed off before we were able to say thanks. I would also like to remind people of how I was close by when their loved ones became ill and with the news of my grandpa's deminsia I haven't heard even one "we are praying for him". Hmmmmmm as I looked to some people's grandparents as my own I thought other's felt the same way about my grandparents but I guess I'm wrong. Who's really heartless now.... I'll post some pictures from my trip later. I do have some on my myspace and facebook. You can see them there.

Love,
The Ungrateful Brat

Update!!!

2009-03-04T17:03:00.000-08:00

Wow, I guess after my last post I need to update what's been going on. Well nothing really has been going on. Life is pretty routine, sleep, eat, work, sleep, pick Corey up from work, on Sunday though in church and minus work, every other Thursday add girl scouts and there you go, my life in a nut shell. :-) I guess it's okay though. Work is going good. Really the same crap, not feeling appreciated... yadda yadda yadda.... We are going to NC this weekend. Corey's Granny Lou is having heart surgery on Monday so we want to see her before her surgery. We go to Oregon in 18 days (yay) to see my family. I'm so excited about this!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get to hang out with them. I have another week off in September, we are trying to figure out what we are going to do for that week. I can't just sit at home on Vacation, I have to go somewhere. So we'll see. Well that's really all right now that's going on. I hope everyone is doing well.

Kimberly and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!!!!

2009-02-10T17:29:00.001-08:00

Today SUCKED!!! It started with a rather stressful day at work. Rules about not being able to drink out of cups that have non-bank of america companies on it in fear that we are promoting another company.... New assistant manager comes new things.... I miss Dinah....

Then I got a speeding ticket, my first one actually... but on top of that my insurance card in my wallet is expired, plus the registration for the car which my husband said was in there, is not in fact in the car, so two more tickets for that...

Then I get home and see three empty girl scout boxes on the floor, Birdie decided he wanted to try some.... plus a bag of M and M's, how he got to them I don't know... They were out of his reach, at least I thought...

So needless today my day has been stressful and now my chest is hurting... maybe I'm having a heart attack...

Accomplised!!!!

2009-01-24T19:32:00.000-08:00

One of the biggest problems Corey and I have financially is going to stores like Walmart 3 times a week. There is always something we need but we always end up getting "extra" things we don't need, spending extra money that we don't need to spend. So today I sat down, with my cookbooks and planned out 5 meals for the week. We went to Walmart tonight and bought all the groceries for the week. Yes, the bill was larger than normal but we shouldn't have to go and buy more things during the week and should end the end actually spend less money. Plus I bought some spices and things I normally don't buy so it added a little more to the bill. So I'll let you know how it goes. We have more than enough food in the house. Corey's grandma really stocked us up on canned food so I mean if we needed we could survive two weeks but we won't push it! Also, my weight watchers round 2 is going well.

Forgiveness.....

2009-01-15T17:50:00.000-08:00

Forgiveness.... what a thing. You want to humbly ask for it. Say I was a jerk, a bitch in fact, do I deserve it, I know I don't. I probably won't recieve it. I sit and I know I don't deserve such a thing. I'm thankful that my Lord is able to extend it to me with such grace because I think that's all I'm going to get it from. I know I don't even deserve it from him.... There's this song that comes on Way FM all the time. It goes like "I'm not who I was"..... That's how I feel..... I shouldn't have done and said the things I did, but I did and now I'm paying the consequences of not having something that was so important to me. Flushed away by stupid words... I guess I've learned a hard lesson..... Man does it suck......

With My Head Held High, I Walk Into the New Year!!!

2009-01-07T17:59:00.000-08:00

2009, will be a better year. I will make it be a better year. I'm going to try, to bandage broken relationships. Not because my friend count is low, but because there are people that were very close to me in my life and I selfishly treated them like crap. It's my own fault at what has happend and it's my obligation to fix it. I didn't spend 15 years building friendships to let me selfish attitude get in the way.

Sad....

2008-12-27T21:19:00.001-08:00

I'm feeling kind of depressed, lonely kind of.... I was sitting at home, alone, by myself, all day... and it made me to start thinking, I have no friends. I mean I have Corey, but like I just don't have anybody that I can just call and hang out with or just chat on the phone.... I've distance myself from everyone that was special to me, and it's left me with a part of my heart that's lonely and in need of some, well I guess, female interaction... Don't get my wrong, I love Corey with all my heart, but I just need some friends..... I guess I just have realized that I am such a bad person that nobody wants to talk to me or hang out with me.... I guess I'm destined for friendlessness.....

2008-12-21T16:13:00.001-08:00

Oh my gosh has it been crazy!!!! I've spent this weekend BAKING. Seriously.... like 7 different types of cookies.... at least 3 dozen of each of those kinds.... I'm so done with baking.... Christmas is Thursday.... I'm ready for it to be Friday honestly.... I'm done with the Holidays....... I'm ready for the frenzy and everything else to just go away... Yup... that's about it

2008-11-28T18:52:00.001-08:00

Okay the doll says "Islam is the Light" If you are like right with it you can really hear it. Just listen and you can hear it right at the end.

Watch out what you buy you children

2008-11-28T17:56:00.000-08:00

I will post more later but listen closely to what this baby says at the end. A target employ pointed this out to us tonight........ I guess they asked if they should pull this off the shelves and Fisher Price told them no...... I know I wouldn't be buying this for my daughter.

Like a kid in a candy store

2008-11-11T08:52:00.000-08:00

This my friend is the equivalent to the ToysRUs Christmas catalog that comes out around Christmas. This is the JCPenney Cooks catalog. I love it. I sit look at all the things wishing for something from it for Christmas, which I know I probably won't recieve anything from it but like a child does with their toy catalog I dream of what a KitchenAid mixer would look like in my kitchen.... sigh..... seriously though, I love this thing. I guess we still r children in some way. There is nothing bad about that. Talking about Christmas....I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get anybody anything for Christmas. I may have to go back to working another job, for at least Christmas, but my only availability is Saturday so I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm busy with girl scouts and stuff now. I don't know.... Any suggestions?

A Day In History

2008-11-04T09:45:00.000-08:00

Well here it is election day. As you can tell by my nifty sticker (we don't get stickers in Oregon when we vote because it's by mail, I perfer it that way, I'll tell you why in a minute, but you do get stickers when you have to interact with others to vote). Why I would rather do vote by mail? Well.... I stood in line for TWO HOURS today to vote. Luckily I had the day off. Corey however had to use an hour of planned vacation because it took longer than we expected and now on the day we should be in North Carolina he has to go in and work for an hour before we can leave, I'm sort of annoyed but, I'm glad he could vote. In fact they had machines capable for him to be able to vote on his own without anyone knowing who he voted for. I think this is great since it is his right to vote without anybody knowing what it was for. So my vote is in, we'll see how it goes. After taking Corey to work I went grocery shopping. Yay.... It isn't one of my most favorite things since I'm the most indecisive person in the world but I did pick up some candy cane flavored oreos (as you can tell from the pictures) that are just amazing. So I will spend the rest of my day cleaning, watching my episodes of big love I got on DVD, catching up on election results, and perhaps working on girl scout stuff. Oh yeah and making lasagne for din din, I'm so domesticated now! :-)

Oh yeah, this is from Halloween night. We were sad because we had NO kids at our door and a whole lot of candy. You like our costumes we were country folk. Heh

2008-10-30T17:39:00.001-07:00

why no smile? because i feel down right crappy! i have a sinus infection and strep throat, and it's off to work I go tomorrow.... yay. I just feel so yucky..... and tired. I may go to bed in a few minutes, this may suprise you since Grey's Anatomy is on tonight, but we have DVR, and other nights to watch it. I just can't do it tonight.

Rain Rain Go Away

2008-10-24T19:29:00.000-07:00

This is me smiling, why, because it doesn't hurt to do that every once in a while. Had a pretty good week this week. No big complaints. Had a meeting with the girl scouts yesterday, will be helping start a new troop up. Have trainin tomorrow then a potluck for our assistant manager at the bank who's moving... :-( Now that makes me sad, oh well. So I've been cooking tonight, getting some stuff ready to take to the shin dig. It's been raining all day today. Driving was dangerous, lots of flooded areas, in fact I thought I saw Noah's Ark float by at one point! :-) Hehe. I actually went through a police baracade... They had this road closed and the police man didn't tell me how to get home so I just kept on going, nobody pulled me over so all is good. Corey's uncle's girlfriend gave birth to a baby girl today, they named her Kaylee Michelle. Please pray for her as there is something wrong with her legs, they aren't sure if it has anything to do with the medicine the mom was taking while pregnant. I hope everything will be okay though for her. I have found out so many people are pregnant right now... is it time to jump on that band wagon... we'll have to see. Hope everyone is lovely!

Suprises!

2008-10-18T11:21:00.000-07:00

This is me... cooking up a suprise.... literally... well not right at this moment obviously since I'm on here but I'm going to try and cook up a real good suprise for Core Core tonight. I can't say what yet in case he can some how get onto here.... anyways... I'll put picture of what it is later. Most people probably wouldn't care but to him it will be special and that's all that matters... This week has been fine. Sometimes 3 day weekends can suck because you get all the relaxation and then it's like oh wait, nevermind here comes normal life again. I am still waiting to have them meetin with the girl scout person. But that should occur this week which will be good. I had another appointment yesterday with the doctor. She's keeping me on the same blood pressure medicine. I guess this is fine for now.... but it may have to be changed. But other than that nothing exciting is going on. Life is just life. Hope everyone else is doing great!

Relax

2008-10-11T09:24:00.000-07:00

My plan for the next three days. Thanks to Columbus Day being an observed Holiday at the bank I have a three day weekend!!! Woo hoo!!! Thank you Columbus for sailing the Ocean Blue! (You know the rhyme in 1492 Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue) anyways... my plan for these days..... RELAX! I did clean some today after taking Corey to work. But I really don't have plans, which is okay with me.

Yay

2008-10-08T16:12:00.000-07:00

I'm feeling better, much better in fact. I've been on antibiotics.... yay. Right now I'm enjoying candy corn and electrifying M&M's heh. Corey has become sick though. He has strep throat. We sat at the doctor's office for like 2 hours today. They had to squeeze him in but good thing we went because we found out he has strep. So he wasn't at work today and he has tomorrow off. I had today off but it was not relaxing, we drove around every where. But oh well.... I finally got in touch with the girl scout volunteer person. I'm going to go meet with her next week. She was sayin something about helping with a daisy troop. If you aren't up to date with girl scouts those are the youngest girls, like before brownies...so that should be interesting but fun none the less. This weekend I have off, in face I have THREE days off. Woo hoo! We are planning a trip to a corn maze and pumpkin patch on Sunday, well after we get out of church. We finally found a good church to go to. We really like it there and I'm thankful for this. I hope everyone is good.

2008-10-04T19:56:00.000-07:00

This is how I've felt this week. I've been feeling rather crappy, sleepless nights, not being able to sleep, all because I have an absessed tooth. Yes, you read that correctly. And of course, we don't have dental insurance. We will next month. But not this month. So I had to go to the doctor yesterday and I was perscribed antibiotics and pain medication.... and.... blood pressure medicine.... The doctor seemed more worried about that than anything else... Kind of frustraiting because I thought I had that under control. And that puts a damper on some future plans... But I guess I need to get that figure out first. So I go back in two weeks and me and the doc are going to have a heart to heart chat. I didn't have to work all day today, it was nice. Came home, took some of my high powered pain meds and took a nap. Then went and got Corey from work we came home, had a good dinner and then watched the Bucket List, thanks to Netflix. That's a good movie, watch it if you haven't. But anyways, I'm finishing up on here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Que sera sera

2008-09-26T16:16:00.000-07:00

This is me enjoying my RT 44 Diet Coke from Sonic, waiting for the time to pick up my husband and enjoy our weekend together. A weekend at home, not going anywhere, no big plans... Just staying at home.... in the place we pay rent for every month... what a concept. Wow these past two weeks have been BUSY. Well lets see where I can start from... Oh yeah, I quit my job at Verizon. I hated it. I really just could not stand working there, getting sworn at by people, in consistency in rules, no face to face interaction, I just couldn't stand it. So, I went back to BOA and begged for my job back (well I just pretty much said can I come back) and they said yes, so I'm back working there. And I am realizing how bad it really isn't. Cause trust me it could be A LOT worst, I experienced it. I like being in a place where I am valued as a person and the people around me who I work for care about me and my husband. Not saying the friends I made at Verizon didn't care but like my actual bosses care about me. My supervisor at Verizon could give a rats behind if my grandma was in the ICU or whateve. So I left my badge there last Friday and I was out. Then on Saturday we left for Savannah for the weekend. It was Corey's b-day so we went on a mini-vacation. Just FYI, the KOA in Savannah SUCKS. Spend the extra money and stay in downtown Savannah. After paying the money to drive to and from downtown plus parking, you might as well just have stayed downtown.... Anyways, besides that part... and the fact we couldn't have a fire which meant no smore's, sad, and there were these ducks that came way to close for comfort to you, I dont' like ducks. So yeah we spent a lot in downtown Savannah, mostly, going on ghost tours, walking in cymeteries and.... eating at Paula Dean restaurants. We were lucky to actually go to BOTH of them... and they were really good. Just a bit of a tip, go at lunch, you'll pay less. We also learned that in Savannah you can drink on the streets as long as it's in a plastic cup. So on the first night we went on this hearse tour, they like drive you around in an open hearse and like tell you ghost tales of Savannah. So the tour found out it was Corey's birthday and we stopped at this bar (there was another group of adults with us) and we like drove around with drinks. It was great. Needless to say people need to go to Savannah, it's beautiful and full of history and drunks! Hehe... so this week I've been back at the bank and it's great. But I'm going now. Going to finish my Diet Coke and listen to 1190 KEX from Portland. :-) Here are some pics!

This is a grave in the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah. It's actually really cool place. Maybe I'll post some more pictures.....

We thought this sign was funny. The ironic thing... this was the only sign we saw like this and it was right by a cymetery.

This is the Mercer house, where the murder occured in the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

This is the childhood home of the author Flannery O'Connor

This is the hearse that gave us a tour Saturday night, notice the drink. heh

Yes we are still alive

2008-09-14T06:43:00.000-07:00

Can I just say getting up at 4:30am to go to work screws around with every part of you? I hate it. In fact I'm not to found of the job in general. It really makes me hate mankind as a whole... We've been busy, traveling to Raleigh and to Charlotte visiting family and friends. Next weekend we are going to Savannah for Corey's birthday, I'm really looking forward to that! Yesterday we got some pictures done. I'll put them on here in a second. In about an hour we are going to leave to check out a church. We've been really wanting to get involved with one, but well we just haven't.I guess being in bible college and then seminary for me just made us worn out of the whole church thing. But we are trying to get back into it and not because we are being forced to, but becuase we want to. Well that's about it.... hit me up and let me know if you check this stuff out or not!

Long Time No Blog, sorry :-)

2008-07-27T18:48:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess it's been awhile since I've posted but I've been VERY busy. I started my new job on the 30th of last month at Verizon Wireless, needless to say, right now I'm loving it. I'm still in training and can brag and say I'm doing very well. I'm enjoying meeting new people and learning new stuff. I am still going to the bank a few Saturdays a month. Lets see what else. Oh, we got a new bird. His (or her, we aren't sure what it is, I'm thinking it may be a girl thought) anyways, it's name is Sterling.

He's still pretty young so I have to hand feed him at night, hopefully though this will soon end.

Corey is still at Verizon also and when people realize I'm his wife they tell me how great he is, but I of course already know this. :-)

On the 15th we celebrated our 2nd anniversary, yay! I worked all day so the weekend before we went out to a japanese steak house for dinner. It of course was very yummy.

My weight watchers is on hold for right now. It's hard going to a meeting because I'm at work until 9pm. So when my shift starts to be 6 am to 2:30 (yes you read that right) I'll be going on Tuesday nights with my friend Lyndsey. But don't get worried, I've been working out close to 45 minutes every work day, at the gym at work. I'm proud of myself. I've only missed one day and that was because I was sick. I'm hoping to work up to an hour of working out. And hopefully soon I can like join a class or something and start doing other things than just cardio but I am just working on the cardio for now.

Hmmmmmmmmm what else? Oh, yesterday we went for a day trip down to Savannah, Georgia. If you haven't ever been you need to go. So much history is there in that city. It's amazing. It's like another version of Charleston. Corey and I are already planning on getting a hotel in the historic district for his birthday so we can go and explore more things that we weren't able to go to yesterday. Yesterday we just really took this like tour trolley thing and toured Juilette Low's house, she was the founder of girl scouts. But they both were really interesting and I was impressed by the fact that at the house they gave us a private tour because Corey is blind, so that he could touch some things and what not, they usually don't let people touch stuff but they are like trained on how to give tours to blind people. I would suggest anybody, even if they weren't a girl scout, to go check this place out. And it was only like 8 dollars a person. And the trolley tour we took was only 10 dollars a person, and after the tour they will like take you back to any part of the tour you want to go to and then they have like shuttles that will pick you back up and like take you to other places until a certain time. I thought this was really cool, especially the price because like in Charleston to take a carriage tour is like 20 dollars a person and you don't get to see THAT much of a city. So Laura, if you are reading this you need to come down here and we are going to Savannah. Anyways here's some pictures from yesterday. I love you all and will try to update sooner than last time!

*kisses*

Here we are waiting for the shuttle.

Juilette Low's house

Forrest Gump's butt sat here. :)

Update

2008-06-21T20:43:00.000-07:00

Okay, well I decided it's time for a quick update on what's going on in the Cook household.

First thing first, I got a new job with Verizon wireless starting June 30th. Working two jobs has been killing me and it sucks not seeing my husband AT ALL. We live in a great new place and I'm never here because I am always at work it seems. So I decided to apply where Corey works and I got the job, no problem. So I'll be making more plus getting a guarenteed 40 hours a week. Plus there is usually overtime if we feel like bringing in some more moolah.

Corey's grandma is having surgery this week on one of her arteries to her heart that is clogged. It actually caused her to have a stroke in May and we are just hoping and praying that things will turn out okay. For me I can't do anything but have high and encouraging spirits and be supportive to Corey during this time. I know he is so nervous eventhough he doesn't say it, but I know that also this situation is in God's hands.

That is really the two big things right now. I really need to get some new pictures of us but we really don't go anywhere. Next weekend we are going to Charlotte and the weekend after that we are going to visit our family in NC for the fourth so I'll make sure to take lots of pictures and put it up. I hope everyone is well and I miss and love you all!

The Reasons Why This Had To Have Been the CRAPPIEST Birthday EVER:

1. My friend got fired from the bank, not only was she fired, but the way they did it was crappy (that was ON my birthday)
2. The bank was just crappy period on Friday, I didn't get any sold referals meaning I have to do my managers call on Wednesday or Tuesday or whatever.
3. My husbands family was in town to bring us some furniture (that will be mentioned again later) and we went out to dinner for my birthday last night. I accidently spilt Corey's beer in his step dads lap and food and he pouted and threw a fit like a baby...
4. The place I wanted to go out to eat for my birthday we couldn't go to because it didn't serve steak. Hmmmmmmm who's birthday was it...
5. My fish is almost dead.
6. The washing machine that was given to us decided it didn't want to work and at 6:30 tonight when we were doing a load of laundry I went into the kitchen to find an inch of water on the floor.... that was the topping of the whole weekend.
7. I didn't get to see my own family.

Well those are my reasons they were crappy....

Maybe when I get into a better mood I'll post some good things that happend... but for now I"m getting ready for bed. Corey has to be at work at 6:00 am. Yes you read that correctly..

New Home

2008-06-02T20:31:00.000-07:00

Well we've moved, well almost, I still have things to finish at the old place but for the most part we are here, in a our new home and I love it. Before we moved in we saw a model but we knew it was a smaller version of what we were going to be getting. Plus we were told that we would be on the second floor, we got over that. Well Saturday came we loaded up the uhaul and drove over to get the keys. The first thing we realized is that we were on the first floor, this made us, and those helping us move, happy. Then I realized, when opening the door, that I had a bay window in my dining room. Most of you don't know, but I like bay windows, don't ask me why, I always have. So Corey and I looked around the place, and I was seriously jumping up and down, I was (and still am) so happy. So, people, if you need a place to stay we have an extra room, with an extra full bathroom for visitors. Seriously, we are like 20 minutes from the beach. So, people need to come and visit. I love this place. Then today, Corey took me to get my birthday present. A power drill, yes I wanted it. I already put up a picture with it. The only bad thing about this weekend is our entertainment center got dropped off the uhaul and broke into pieces. WE had to get another one. We also were able to find a table at the goodwill for 37 dollars. It's a nice one, it can fit 6 people and looks great with the bay window!!!

Oh and about my diet, yeah it's been shot thanks to moving. Once this moving is done, it's back to the grind.

2008-05-29T18:42:00.000-07:00

Well I lost 1.2 pounds in the last week for a total of 7 pounds so far. I'm proud of myself for the continual lost of weight. Next week we move and I'll have access to gym stuff so hopefully that will cause even more weight lost!

On another note. I'm pissed! Let me tell you why. So I was helping Corey to the car tonight when I picked him up from work. This rude big fat lady looks at her friend and says "i sure wouldn't want THAT responcibility". I had to do everything to not bite my tounge at that comment. Corey is not my responcibility. I was not forced to marry him, I chose to do what I do because I love him not because I'm required to do it.

Anyways I'm off to pack.

Hmph

This isn't about hurting feet or losing weight, this is my rant on how I don't know why I'm spending almost 4 dollars a gallon to put gas in my car yet we can send little robots to ride around on mars to take pictures. And you know that little robot is only goign to last 4 months, if that. So what's the point. We can be spending money on better things. So until they start sending oil from mars the government needs to reprioritize... what do you guys think??

2008-05-23T21:04:00.000-07:00

Okay so THIS is what happends when you go to the podiatrist.....

See the blister that's developing.....

And it's for BOTH feet....

Hopefully this will be the solution to the pain so they can make the inserts or what not because if this isn't then he's talking about putting needles in my feet to block the nerves and i'm not into that...

Oh I couldn't put just bad pictures so I added one of me and my boy. Ain't he cute and so happy.

That's the link to the place we are moving into next weekend!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. I know that's wierd to be happy about moving especially since rent is more but the place is much nicer. Yay! I'm happy happy happy. So, I gotta go to bed so I can get some more stuff packed in the morning before I go to Old Navy at 5...

well it keeps going down....

2008-05-22T20:01:00.000-07:00

slowly but surely i'm down another 1.6 pounds. last week i didn't weigh in. it was to crazy plus i was afraid to due to the fact we had a weekend at granny's house. :-) but i went today and there was more lost, an altogether total of 5. something pounds. i guess that's better than nothing. i'm now down into the 170's at least i don't have to think about being in the 180's anymore.

i'm went to the podiatrist today and that's a whole other blog.

i just finished watching the season ending of grey's anatomy. so what was with everyone kissing each other including callie and erica!?!?! what the heck!?!?!

well i hope everyone is well. it's off to be for me. this weekend will be filled with working and packing. we move next weekend!!! yay!!! :-)

Another week.....

2008-05-17T21:38:00.000-07:00

Well this week is done and I actually have a weekend to relax, well kind of relax. I was reminded today that we move in two weeks. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so, today we spent running around treating ourselves to a yummy dinner in a pirate theme restaurant and going to see a movie (Baby Mama) which was hilarious.... So needless to say this beautiful day was great. Now tomorrow we get down the business and start packing and throwing away crap.... We have so much stuff we don't use and i don't think anybody else would either. So, that's tomorrows plan. Yay, then it's just work work work and hopefully next weekend there will be more time to pack. :-/ But anyways, I've blown my diet this week and will start again. My parents go to Vegas tomorrow for a few days and I'm very happy for them. Oh by the way I'm so excited about the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants sequel coming out oh yeah and Mama Mia! :-)

2008-05-11T18:06:00.000-07:00

We were in NC this weekend for a long overdue visit to see Corey's grandma and grandma and mom. We hadn't been up there since Corey's papa passed away in January. It was a nice visit filled with lots of food that probably brought my weight back to what it was... :-/ Anyways... I was happy to know that on Friday I went to weight watcher's for a weigh in and I had lost 4 pounds since starting! Yay for me. Anyways, I'm tired and going to bed early tonight.

doctors.......... yuck

2008-05-07T13:17:00.000-07:00

Like any normal person, I hate going to the doctor. But since I started this diet thing I realized I really needed to go and get a physical done. I don't remember the last one I've had so Corey made an appointment for me to go today on my day off. Well it was the normal, oh you have high blood pressure stay on your meds, everything else is good, good bye appointment. This guy actually wants to see WHY my blood pressure is high. He doesn't think it was due to the birth control I was on when it was first discovered. So needless to say, I had an EKG done today, chest x-rays, blood work tomorrow, all kinds of stuff. I guess I'm glad he wants to get down to the core of the problem, and I'm also glad we have good health insurance now, but it just sucks to be pocked and proded and all that crap. He may think it's due to low potassium or genetics... So who knows. Another thing he mentioned was the fact that my feet and bending in. I've always known something was wrong with my feet and I also know my feet ALWAYS hurt when I'm on them a lot. He said I'm to young for this, so I'm being refered to a podiatrist.... We'll see how that goes. I hope there will be no surgery involved.... Sometimes I wish in times like these I had a group of friends around that I could go hangout with and just get stuff like this off my mind. But I guess all of this is my own fault for wanting to go for a physical. Corey is next. It's important for us to do these things so if something is happening it can be corrected. Next week is another appointment.... And we wont' even go into details about that one.... yuck

but on a happier note, according to the scale at the doctor's office I've lost 3 pounds!!!! Yay

2008-05-05T19:35:00.001-07:00

my feet hurt.

2008-05-04T18:51:00.000-07:00

So......... I'm over the whole .6 pounds, well not really but I know I don't exercise as much as I should be and that makes a lot of difference but my excuse is, I work 60 hours a week, 8 am to 10 pm most nights so when i come home, I want to sleep. But soon that will be changing I hope and I will have access to a gym and better stuff. But, this weekend I've been working at Old Navy. Man do people just annoy the crap out of me at times. I just want to strangle them.... But I was able to enjoy a wonderful portebella chicken sandwhich from Applebees, only 6 points! It came with fruit and I got a side salad too. It was yummy, I will definately be having this again. I hope everyone is well. My friend Adri got married yesterday. I'm sad I didn't plan my Oregon visit around this so I could've went. It didn't even dawn on me. I am sure she made a beautiful bride.

2008-05-01T19:43:00.001-07:00

.6 pounds, that's all I lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell?

I'm like starving myself and that's all I lost.

Gr....

Scared...

2008-04-30T19:55:00.000-07:00

Okay, so this isn't about losing weight, this post is about the scary thing that happend tonight. So I went to pick Corey up from work tonight. On our way back the gas light came on and I was hurrying to get to the place we ALWAYS get gas. So like before we even got close to that this car with like 4 girls in it starts like shinning their brights at me and like tailgaiting me and going beside my car and honking their horn and yelling at me and stuff. And I had no clue what was happening so finally Corey told me to call 911. Well I'm not someone to call 911 in fact I never have, but I did. This dispatcher stayed on the phone with me until I drove to the police station, almost out of gas, and I talked to an officer who I feel thought was silly for me to get worked up. but that car followed me until I pulled into the police station and then they like sped away. I feel like I did the smart thing and the police man can just go jump off a bridge. The whole thing sure did get my heart going, but I guess that's good for this whole weight lost thing, right? :-)

Hungry............

2008-04-29T19:54:00.000-07:00

I've been so hungry since this diet. I gotta learn how to like not be hungry or something cause I eat and like an hour later I'm hungry again.... who knows. Anyways, I've learned about some great things to eat that are little in points.

6 pieces of california roll sushi is only 2 points!!!!
7 small quaker minis is only 1 point! (these are great)
Diet Cherry Coke, no points!

Yay!

:-)

My next meeting is Thursday. I'm scared to see if I've lost any weight because if I haven't I know I'll be discouraged. Cross your fingers that nothing bad happends.

On my way to a new me!

2008-04-27T19:15:00.001-07:00

So I joined weight watchers yesterday. yes i actually did it. it seems to be going well except in the afternoon i'm way hungry. But I'm thinking once my stomach gets to down to what it should be that hunger will go away. My goal is to lose 18 pounds. Then I will set my ultimate weight goal. I'm excited about it and I'm proud of myself. I've also been walking a mile a day too. So.... we'll see how it goes. I'm really serious about losing this weight and Corey is supporting me. Plus he likes the fact that the pepsi won't be gone so quickly as i've moved over to diet pop. So... yup that's whats happening. I really wish someone would let me know if they are reading this....

A New Me

2008-04-25T16:39:00.001-07:00

Well tomorrow I'm doing something that I've talked about doing but just haven't, I'm joining Weight Watchers. Yes, I am okay to say that I am fat, and I need to lose weight. Not only because I'm fat and I can see that but like I can feel it to. So, my really good friends at work started and has encouraged me to start to. So us, plus another co-worker are going to do it and keep each other accountable and stuff. I really feel like this is going to be successful. Plus, we are really thinking about (hold on to your seats) having children and I don't want to be in bad health when that happends. I need to get my blood pressure under control and one way of doing that is eating better. So tomorrow is my day. If you have any negative comments, I don't want to hear them. If you have any encouragement then great, bring it on because I can use it!

:)

Rambles

2008-04-22T19:42:00.000-07:00

Dang, I need to keep up with this. Nothing new is going on. Corey did however start is new job and is LOVING it. And I also went and visited Oregon for a week! YAY! It was so nice to see my family and spend time with them. I sure did miss Corey though and was so glad to see him again. Now to only get both things at the same time. Oh well, soon we'll be able to go back together and visit. I was so blessed by being able to go but also by the people who helped me while I was gone. Some of my co-workers at the bank helped drive Corey to and from work and it was great to realize I have people I can rely on here in Charleston for help. It's good to know I am finally meeting people! Well that's all for now. I'm tired and can sleep in in the morning. Nighty Night!

What to do what to do?

2008-03-15T12:33:00.000-07:00

Well, I have this weekend off. I haven't had the whole weekend off in............. well I don't remember when usually I have to ask for it off. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of my manager at Old Navy for doing this, or making the mistake, if that's what it was. Today I spent the morning at the Flea Market. Walking around, looking at people's junk. I didn't buy anything but a pepsi, and no, it wasn't used or old, it was new, fresh out of the fountain. After that my friends and I went to Atlanta Bread Company, it was great, although I do perfer Panara but it wasn't close by. So after that I went through the Starbucks drive thru got a Carmel Frapaccino, anyone knows that's the best way to enjoy a beautiful day, and headed home. I'm debating cleaning, eventhough I really don't want to. Maybe one room I'll get done. I did dig out my ipod and am in the process of updating it and charging it. Hopefully tonight a new transmitter can be bought. So...... we'll see. But anyways, I must go downstairs and clean and enjoy the flowers my husband bought for me. I'll put a picture of them up later so you to can enjoy them too. :-)

Starting Over

2008-03-14T20:48:00.000-07:00

I cleared out my old posts to make room for new ones. I really think it would be good for me to have a place to set down my thoughts, complaints, laughs, worries, whatever is going on in my life. You can read them if you want. You can even take them as an insight into what in the world is going on with me. Have fun, and like I've said before, if I offend you, sorry, it's not my purpose in doing this.
