Hurricane Isabel is upon us ... this time we are prepared for no power ... we have a whole bunch to work on that requires no more than a flashlight ... and we even have a radio with batteries ... last month we were without power for 3 days and had nothing to do but sit and bitch ... so we are ready this time ... although i should have gotten a deck of cards ... oh well ... save that for the next one ...


hope everyone is alright where ever they are ... :)

I got my first lip balm sale today ... from Brian of CheapBlueGuitar.com ... woohoo ... I am sooooooooooo excited ... woohoo a sale ... I am just ecstatic about it ... can ya tell?


and tonight I made some bitchen labels for wedding stuff ... I am going to try and not be obsessed with wedding stuff here but I am making soooooooooo much of my own stuff that it seems that is all I am doing ... and so far the stuff is turning out pretty groovy ... although I stay up way to late each night because I get to working on something and the next thing I know 4 hours have gone by ...


David and I decided tonight we are going to find an acupuncturist in our area ... I've been doing reading and it sounds pretty groovy ... David it TOTALLY stressed out ... and has trouble sleeping and wants to gain weight ... and I get pretty bummed out and don't sleep well and want to lose weight ... since neither of us want to take any sort of medication and that is what like doctors like to do ... we are going to try it the "old school" way ... really old school ... should be a pretty interesting experience ...


ok I've been up way too late ... off to sleep ... hopefully :)

I got my engagement ring today


and it is simply stunning ... as David so eloquently put it ... :)

look at that ... changed it already ... digging the dots ... woohoo ...

OK ... I am back ... I can't believe it has been over a month since I wrote in my blog ...


I've become hooked to the site theknot.com ... for wedding planning ... I seem to post there all the time and that has kind of become my blog ...


as I am writing this David is on his way to pick up my engagement ring ... I am quite excited to say the least ... we dropped the stone off 3 weeks ago so I have been so excited to get it back ... my parents gave me a diamond that my grandmother left me so it should be beautiful ...


I heard this morning that both John Ritter and Johnny Cash passed away and I started to cry ... two great men that I just love ... I feel like I grew up with both of them ... it just amazes me they are gone ...


I made this new site design while I was bored at work yesterday but I don't think it is working for me ... a little too much of a headache ... and since spring is over it is not very timely ... so I think I might need to come up with something a little more simple ...


I hope everyone is still around ... I guess I have a lot of reading to do this weekend to catch up with everyone's blog ...


:)

I am feeling better ... the gloom and doom is lifting ... i even made phone calls tonight when i got home from work ... [haven't wanted to chat too much lately] ... and instead of parking myself on the couch or going to sleep i actually accomplished a whole lota shit ... so right on ...


i should have just bitched sooner on here ... it always makes me feel better ... makes me see how sorry i am being ... and forces me to change my focus onto more positive things ...


stop by Sickside and give Kimberly a big WOOHOO for her new job ... she is going to kick some ass ... that is for sure ... god i am just so happy for her right now ... it is going to be the perfect job for her ... and so many people will benefit from her knowledge ... i think reading that post just now is what finally put a smile on my face ... :)


but i am still leavign the gray and black for now ... hahahahahaaaaaa

I need help ... in the teeth grinding department ...


I woke up about 35 minutes ago and my jaw is just now relaxing


I had a hot cloth on my face for about 10 minutes to get my teeth apart


I don't know what to do


I have had both rubber and hard plastic bite plates ... I ground right through both in less than a week ... the hard plastic [like a retainer] scared the crap out of my orthodontists ... he couldn't believe I went straight through it ...


has anyone done anything that helps ... cause if I keep this up I will eventually have no teeth ... the headaches and arm aches are bad enough ... but no teeth ... that could be a problem ...


so if anyone has tried anything conventional or unconventional please let me know ... I am willing to give anything [almost anything] a try at this point ...
