Hey I'm Blogging!

Why am I blogging? Good question. This has been a "dead blog" for a couple years now. I'm now doing a post because my company is trying to regulate my blog usage with a "social media/blogging" document that the entire company has to read and understand. (This response is so me. If you tell me not to do it I'm going to do it!)

Most of it is pretty simple and a lot of common sense that most computer savey people would know. But one of the points really got me thinking. The quote is "avoid using unprofessional online personas.". Why is that my company's business? If I don't refer to them in any way at all, who cares if I have an email address that is "jigglychest69@gmail.com"??? I don't by the way, but if I did, that would be up to me right? It's my reputation and my online persona so wtf!?!

Arg.

Posting...

Wow, you know you haven't posted in a while when you have half forgotten how to log into your blog. Hmmmm. I wouldn't call this blog dead. I use it all the time for the links I keep on the right hand side. I like to go back and re-read posts done during the buying of my house. I keep meaning to post stuff. Never do. Hmmmm....mayhap I will come up with a "Life Update" post. Lots of stuff changed in the last year.

Hmmm....

OMG LOLZ!

So, I haven't posted in a while, but I had to share this. For those of us out there who enjoy a good romance...and for those of us who also like to make fun of them....

Enjoy!

GASP!

OMG look look look! I'm a delinquent blogger! No blogs for you!

I know. I suck. Will come back to this.....eventually....maybe......I think......

OMG yawn!

OMG was today long! We had the alarm set for 8am and had all of us up, dressed, and out the door by 9:30am. Off to Value Village to check out pants for the Monster. It was scarey. Very Salvation Army. Will never be back there. Went to Winner's after that and bought over $200 in stuff...for Jason! Got a couple toys and ONE pair of pants for the Monster, but it was mostly about J. Stuff he needed like winter boots, new running shoes, underwear, etc. I got some cool cookie cutters that I plan on giving a whirl tomorrow. Off to Walmart for the portrait. Wasn't as horrible as expected. Had a hard time getting J to really crack a smile, but got one pose that really worked for whole family and even got a nice one of the two of us together. Next to Harvey's for lunch, then Sportmart for specialized shoes for both J and I. Him was Volleyball shoes, and mine were for working out. Pet store, grocery store then home. We were not in the door until almost 4pm. YAAAAAAWN!

The entire day I was really good on my points. Packed a bag before leaving with bottles of water, apples and cranberries. It saved us BIG TIME when we were out and about and not wanting to stop. Had salad at Harvey's while J and the Monster chowed down on burgers and onion rings. That one hurt, but I still have 2 points left right now, so I'm guess it was a good decision? Need to walk a bit on the treadmill and start breaking in the new shoes.

The monster is sick with a sore throat and fever. He is refusing to take medicine right now so I'm not giving him any sympathy. There is nothing I can to for him to get him to feel better unless he is willing to down some syrup. Don't cry to me at midnight. ARG!

Need to get laundry started. Raiding tomorrow night with Vanguard so will have to have everything done and taken care of by 7pm. I'm off to be usefull.

Ciao for now.

F-F-F-Friday!

Yay! Weekend! So happy! This week has been endless. Having work out three nights a week, plus dealing with the monster's homework and various form/orders, playing vanguard, and keeping track of everything else is getting a little bit much. Love the third class I'm taking. it's 20/20/20 with 20 minutes of cardio, 20 minutes of step, and then 20 minutes of abs. It's a nice change from the rest of the week's strength class. Am back on plan as of this past Wednesday. It's feeling okay. I'm not in rythem for it yet and am not eating enough during the day. Which of course means I'm STARVING at night and then eating all my leftover points then. I'll work on balancing it out next week.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. We are scheduled to go into town shopping and get a family portrait done. Don't ask me why, but both mother's want J and I to get it done and that be our present. Whatever. It's a picture. We take better pictures AND without the cheesy background screen. We're also going to be pants shopping for the monster, and going out for lunch. Pray for me and that J's patience holds. :P

Also, going to be continuing with the reno work in the guest room. I got about 1/3 of the wallpaper off already. The worst part about it is that the idiots that owned the house before us didn't paint the entire wall, then put the paper up. They put the paper DIRECTLY on the drywall and then painted below it! It's a major pain in the ass, but I have the entire day Sunday to work on it. Plastering up the holes is next on the agenda, sandpaper those spots when it's dry, strip the hardware off the room, prime twice, paint twice, put the hardware back, and finally move the furniture back in. YAY! Another DAD-FREE project! :)

Buh bye!

Weeeeeekend!

Yesterday was a good day. I slept in and then was up getting the laundry going, had a broccoli and asparagus frittata with the family, and then got dressed to start on the garden. All of my perennials I'm sick of. We have a tiger lily, some yellow iris and purple iris, and OMG do we have phlox! It's purple, it only blooms at the end of August and the stalks are taller then I am. I cut all the stalks off with the shears so that they could be bagged, ripped all the stuff that was left out of the front garden, and then started digging out the weed/vegetable garden. Funnily enough, some of the "weeds" I pulled out of there were veggies I didn't even know I was growing! Imagine me reaching for weeds and then coming up with a handful of radishes the size of golf balls! Pretty funny. Before I was totally worn out I filled one and a half yard waste bags. Today to finish up that project I have to get all the perennials out of the garden and into little bags for a fundraiser at work, rip the tomato plants out of the veggie garden, open up the composter and spread all gardens with it to make the soil better.

Last night was a big night for Ryan and I. I took him to his first Sens game. It was free tickets from work.

...

K, here is the story about the free tickets from work. The VP's got their heads together and bought a corporate box. Then they put the rule that they can only go to work people so they are given out only one at a time. Which means no one wants them because then you are hanging out with work people and not bringing someone you actually want to spend time with. So I didn't even want to go. Didn't email that I wanted a ticket...until my boss comes and asks me to get a ticket in my name for her. I'm okay with it. So I call and get it. Apparently two of my other co-workers did the same thing so that KM and her son could go. Next thing I hear is KM forgot that she has a date planned with her hubby and doesn't want the tickets anymore. I say I'll take them and use them as a reward for The Monster getting 5 out of 5 out of this week's spelling test. We have the excuses all worked out. One of us is getting the flu, and KM remembers she has the date at the last minute. The Monster and I pack up, drive to Home Depot to park ('Cause there is no way in hell I'm paying $11 for parking!), and walk in to The Bank. I get there and my boss is no where in sight. The game starts and The Monster is enthralled for maybe 15 minutes before he loses interest. Still no sign of my boss. I get The Monster through to the start of the second period before he is done and we leave. I get to say to the entire group of work people, great, my boss and two other co-workers stood me up for team building. :D Anyway, at least I wasn't upset about leaving early as the ticket was free. And because we were in a box there was a sink so we were drinking water instead of paying $8 per drink! YAY!

Anyway, I'm off to get busy with finishing up chores before going raiding in Vanguard!

Blog ya later!
