well David is off to work ... I am so happy for him ... he has been in such a great mood since yesterday ... it is too bad it isn't a permanent job but who knows what it will lead to ... I am just so happy he is doing something with computers and doesn't have to cook ...


kinda sucks that my days off he is working but I do get some alone time ... which I just love ... and I don't get too much of that ... I have a site I need to design ... and I have wooden letters I want to paint and hang above the bed in our new bedroom ... so there is plenty to do ... besides I need to shower and I am going to give myself a facial ... I also need to do some searching for Christmas gifts ... Hanukah gifts ... whatever the recipient celebrates ...

I have been checking out barkins.com and got this great short film link ... Farm Sluts ... if you aren't on a dial up it is soooo worth checking out ... I love the film!!!

down 3 pounds in 2 days ... and I couldn't be happier ... this is the part I like ... in the beginning when I am dropping weight ... I just hope it keeps up


ohhh and I got to sleep in today ... it makes it such a great experience when you are getting up early all week to go to work ... I get up every morning at 5:25 ... today I woke up at 5ish ... closed my eyes again ... then at 7ish ... then at 9ish ... then at 11 I got up ... it just felt wonderful!!!!!

I added a new link to the site ... an "extras" as a place to put whatever I want ... I also am looking forward to updating the "about" page ... that will be tomorrow's project while David is working ...


so I have gotten through 2 of my 128 days to healthier ... so when I wake up tomorrow I will be on day 126 ... I am looking forward to stepping on the scale ...


and sleeping in ... !!!!!

i am so happy right now i could bust ... David just called me ... he got a job ... it is only for Saturday and Sunday but it is computer work ... and the guy that hired him really liked him and said he would see what else he could find ...


so we are going to dinner when he picks me up to celebrate ... i haven't heard him sound this happy in a long time ... :)

I had the news on for a bit this morning and they were talking about the increased terrorist threats ... how it would be something "spectacular" [i feel that is the wrong word to use ... it has a positive connotation] ... anyway ... while on the train today i noticed some things that were unusual ... they had someone at each station standing by the turnstiles ... where you use your pass to get on and off ... looking at each person ... not stopping anyone but at least checking them out ...


then while riding the train at several of the stops they made an announcment that if you see anyone suspicious, doing anything out of the ordinary, bags or boxes left anyway to immediately report it to a Metro official ...


it just gave me an eerie feeling ... it was weird ...

I just adore taking the train ... so many interesting things happen and when I am not dozing I catch a few of them ... tonight there was a group of 6th graders on the train walking around taking a survey ... they claimed it was for extra credit ... but I have a feeling that in part they were proving to each other how smart they were and how dumb everyone else is ... little do they realize that unless they join the scientific or medical field there is little use for the 4 stages of mitosis ... none the less it was fun ... they were asking people their favorite radio station ... if they were pro abortion ... favorite ice cream ... 4 stages of mitosis ... what is 10[squared] ... the capital of Zimbabwe ... but it got people talking ... and laughing ... and it was a fun diversion on the ride home ...


it is too bad they didn't ask me the questions ... I know the 4 phases of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase ... don't ask me how I know that ... in college I only went to biology class on test day ... I mean the class was at 8 o'clock in the morning ... on the total opposite side of campus ... during the winter ... in Kansas ... where it can be 30 below on a good day ... and I pulled a C ... just enough to get by ... my schooling trademark ...


I did great on my first day of 128 days to healthier ... although by the time David picked me up at the station I was nursing a killer headache and felt a little loopy from the lack of solid food ... so we went to dinner ...


and now that I am actually mixing with people in the real world I am coming in contact with germs again ... not that I am a germ-o-phobe ... but come on ... the guy next to me tonight was talking about how he had Tori Amos tickets but couldn't go cause he was too sick ... if you are too sick for a great concert don't get on the fucking train ... before I left work I was feeling funky but I thought it was the lack of food ... now that I am home I feel even funkier ... achy ... tired ... I need to take care of myself ... a year off work and I wasn't sick ... cause I didn't come in contact with others too much ... but now ... now I need to work on getting more rest ... and being good to myself ... cause if I am not at work I don't get paid ... it isn't like my old job where I could work at home if need be ... I gotta be there to get the moula ... :)
