1 month 12 days

My world is filled with dates, meetings, appointments, deadlines and personal wants. Tomorrow is 1 month until my 30th birthday and damm I feel old. I'm tired, and it's more than just not getting enough sleep the past few days. My bones are tired, I feel burned out. My shoulders and back are killing me, my feet are either sweating or they ache or both. I'm constantly hot lately, I've gained almost 10 pounds and the pants I bought to fit my larger thighs no longer fit anymore, I have one pair of pants that fit me right now, a couple fit skin tight... but i'm not about to wear skin tight clothes to work! I have no idea what i'm wearing to work tomorrow... maybe my yoga pants! I just wish I could suck 2" of fat outta my thighs so all my pants will fit me again! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind having curves and whatnot, but when your thighs are ever expanding and you hate clothes shopping, it's not the best motivation. It's 12:32, my husband is home sleeping today, which he did all day yesterday (he got up at 6:30pm) he's supposed to do a lot of errands crap and I don't think he'll get a single one done. I can't do everything... I'm tired, so tired.

Laughter is the key to happiness!

So it's Valentine's Night and DH & I are on the couch watching a movie. DH had put his coat on the back of the couch, where it doesn't belong... he should have hung it up. So sometime during the movie we hear it fall down, neither of us wants to miss the movie so we don't move. Shortly after I can hear one of the cats playing on the coat. I didn't want it to get scratched or ripped so I get up to go hang up the coat where it belongs. I get up and go around the couch and see my boy cat sprawled over the coat, thinking he's playing with a toy I go to shoo him off the coat and I touch the sleeve, it's full! I poke at the sleeve and I hear a MEOW! I look up the sleeve and there is my girl cat STUCK IN THE SLEEVE and the boy is sitting on top of the coat so she can't get out! I was laughing so hard I could barely see! LOL After snapping this photo I got her out of there finally, poor thing kept wanting to go forward out of the sleeve but she just wasn't small enough to fit so it took a few minutes to get her to fall out butt first!

Febuary 2007

Well yesterday was the day, I hit 1 solid month of no smoking. Can I say I'm pretty darn proud of myself??!?!? I've also been trying to cut down on my gum chewing since it's starting to bother my jaw! :-) A few people have asked me what my weekly rewards have been and I must say, I don't have any... I decided I want a new pair of shoes. That will be my reward to myself.

I'm going to get a pair of Birkenstock London shoes!

I can't wait! I just hope I can find a store that sells them around me! I'd rather not buy them online if I don't have to, just incase, I like to try on shoes first! But this way I can wear these to work since they have a heal and I won't get into trouble!

So much is going on right now, I feel a little overwhelmed at times! I'm in school doing 3 classes 4 nights a week right now. Photography 2 on Monday, Drawing 2 on Tuesday and Thursdays and Principles of Sociology on Wednesday nights. I also have my friend Jenny and her wedding to help her plan and we're currently making her invitations and we're going dress shopping for us girls this weekend or next. Then my friend Crystal's baby shower is March 3rd and Katie, my niece had her baby on the 29th of January I have yet to go see! Let alone my friend Spencer who's baby was born just before Christmas I have yet to go see and I never mailed out the congradulations card and I feel very awful about that! It's been so long I can't mail it out now! I sometimes wonder if she thinks I'm a horrible person b/c I haven't called to visit them? First it was the holidays, then Eric got sick, then school started and now I feel awful and feel weird just calling her up and saying hey wanna go for coffee? I really need to though, I feel worst everyday!
