Ramblings

I rounded the corner after making lunch for the Boy to see his latest project. Ugly Dolls napping on the steps!

LaRiche Toyota, of Findlay OH, delivered a car to my office on Friday for a TEST DRIVE. Yes, a test drive. It was a Black Prius. I love it. Much roomier than I anticipated, and fun to drive. A little out of my price range, but if they are willing to drive 45 minutes for a test drive, I'll bet they are willing to work for my business. Customer service wise - they WIN. Still have a few others to drive. Waiting for February lease offers to come out too...today or tomorrow.

Got our January Gas bill...only $479.82.

Another weekend alone with the boy. I love this boy more than I can put into words, but it is exhausting and I tend to holler at him a lot. I don't want to, and I don't mean to, but he gets so whiney and needy and it just drives me nuts. I need medication. Thankfully, my husband's nightmare schedule will be over in a month! Anyway, Saturday morning we went to Target, which was fun. He picked out a new truck (surprise, surprise). He wanted one of the big, noisy, $20 trucks, but I told him no. He had to pick a smaller truck and $6 was the limit. He already has about 2,000 trucks, and we need to cut back. After arguing and crying and threatening to leave, he choose a fire truck for $5.99. We headed to Michaels for some new Dot painting books and Scooby Doo cupcake cups/papers. On our way home...he spotted Rudy's Hot Dogs. "I need Rudy's Hot Dogs for lunch mommy!" So, I figured why not. Sunday morning we headed to Adrian to see Grandma and Grandpa. Fun times people, fun times.

In addition to Rudy's for lunch on Saturday, I didn't pay one darn bit of attention to what I was putting in my mouth. I ate and ate and ate. And I ate junk. Not only did I bake cupcakes, I ate 3 of them. It was out of control. I am out of control. I am never going to get this weight off if I can't control myself. Thankfully I'm back to the gym tonight. I saw a "bigger" girl jogging on the treadmill last week, and you know what, she didn't look bad. So, I may try it. I shouldn't care about what I look like at the gym, but that's not me. This fat ass isn't me either. I'm not even comfortable in my skin right now.

Found out on Friday that we will be getting year-end bonuses at work (we got a $1k Holiday bonus already). 2008 was the most profitable year in our history. It's awesome to work for a necessary evil and I'm very very thankful for this job.

I think I'm getting a sinus infection. My head feels like it's going to explode and I have snot draining down the back of my throat which is making my throat itchy and I feel like I need to clear it 400 times a day. Mmm. Oh, and sinus infections and nose rings...not such a good combination.

Got the results of my MRI. I have a bulging disk on the last vertibre on my spine. It's not herniated...yet. I see a Pain Specialist on the 10th. I told my Chiropractor about my husband's job and asked that we try and do everything we can to get me on the road to recovery in the month of February, since I will not likely be able to afford to visit 2-3 times a week any longer.

I absolutely cannot stop looking at the wonderful handmade jewelry on etsy. Jewelry By Natsuko is my current obsession.

Didn't eat any junk last night. Amazing how much better I feel.
