Three great things about Tuesdays:
It's only three more days until Friday!
It's only two more days until Survivor!!
It's only 10 more hours until Scott comes over!!!
Hurray!!!!!

I was just looking over at CatieCakeCards again,
Planning my future wedding invitations
(Which I know I will soon need).
I know I want something really simple, that's why I like her cards so much,
But I just found one of her cards that really struck me
And though it's totally not a traditional wedding card,
I really really like this one.
That pattern just seems to fit us both so very much.
I can't wait to actually place an order!!!!
As Trinity63 said to me the other day,
Let's just get married already!!!!

Buffy is feeling better

Buffy is feeling better now but her tummy is still rumbling and she occasionally whines about it hurting
(and she is NOT a whiner, so that's when I know something is wrong)
But she did have some Gorilla Munch cereal for dinner and so far, so good.
Mainly we're just exhausted from getting no sleep tonight.
(And my short afternoon at work possibly couldn't have gone worse)
I am looking forward to some sleep tonight!

Buffy is sick today,

Buffy is sick today, she's had a stomach virus for the last 24 hours, but she's been throwing up and diarrhea and severe stomach cramps since 11pm last night.
So I'm staying home with her until 1pm when I go back to work.
In the meantime,
I get to sit here and watch Dr.Phil.

I don't even like Dr.Phil that much, but I love the shows about the overweight people in the house.

Buffy is laying in my bed quietly reading The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

One year ago: Buffy

One year ago:
Buffy got in big big trouble

We are off to church for the first time since June...
The summer was just too too busy.
When I come back I'll tell you about yesterday's Curves,
That place just never runs out of material, heh.

Meanwhile,
Sunday Morning Clix Whore!!!
Clix Me!

Well Fric and Frak!!!
I got myself a great User Name and signed up, and then realized to get the special discounted Gold Membership deal you have to order that NOW and I don't HAVE money now.
However, I also noticed the name is confusing and looks like it refers to "spics" so maybe a different name will be better.
Or maybe I should get my website back, which will be much much cheaper and I can probably hold more pictures that way.
Maybe one day I should return Meg's email, now THAT's a thought.
And Leslie's email
And Mody's email
And Itsy's email
Yeah, emails are cheaper than signing up for things.
But now I have to go to Curves.
Ah well.
....Hey, I wonder if I could sneak my camera in and take a picture of Princess Missy?
bwahahahahaaaa....

Even though I finally

Even though I finally got all those pictures off my camera's memory cards I cannot post them to Three65Pics until I buy a SuperGold membership because it says I'm at 271% of my limit.
Sorry, don't have that extra cash right now, but I'll find a way soon.
But I CAN start the other photo project I was thinking of, maybe I should get that started right now,
I have 10 minutes until I leave for Curves.

In less than 6

In less than 6 weeks I will turn 37 years old.
This year, the age doesn't bother me at all.
I guess it all depends on how good your life is going at the time.
I don't care if I was turning 50, I am Happy.

One day my zip

One day my zip code will be 95003 and I will be the happiest girl in the world.

I'm going to Curves

I'm going to Curves again this morning.
I wonder if anything else interesting will happen or if they'll just LEAVE ME ALONE so I can workout in peace?

Once again,
Friday Night Clix Whore!!!
Clix Me!

I was really sleepy

I was really sleepy after work today so I didn't go to the gym,
But I can only go 3 days a week anyway,
So I can go tomorrow.
But then Buffy wanted to go Running!
Only, we didn't have time because we have to pick up Spike from his school dance.
So we are going to go lift weights outside right now,
Then run tomorrow to the gym and workout, then run back.

No Friday Five today

No Friday Five today so I'm going to borrow Mocksie's older version:

1. Name five things in your refrigerator.
Beaver sweet hot mustard, squeeze bottle.
A LARGE tub of plain yogurt.
A LARGE jar of wheat germ.
Athenos Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
Lots and lots of fresh tortellini.
2. Name five things in your freezer.
Frozen corn.
Frozen razzberries.
Frozen mango.
Frozen strawberries.
Frozen bananas.
(We like Smoothies)
3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.
A dish drainer.
Orange Cleaner.
Windex w/vinegar.
Dishwasher soap.
PineSol.
4. Name five things around your computer.
Lots of Sims CDs.
A can of Resolve carpet cleaner.
Spike's Swim Champions medal.
A tiny of bottle of geranium essential oil.
A can of chinese condensed milk (don't ask).
5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?
Going to a House Warming party in Gilroy with Scott, the first home of his oldest friends. Then church on Sunday... We haven't been since last June.

Because I know Mocksie

Because I know Mocksie is sad without any new Bennifer news:
They just bought a new truck together.
Awwww.....

It's Friday, I think

It's Friday, I think I'll be a Click Whore today.
Clix Me!

Wow, Emotional Crisis-Level PMSing

Wow,
Emotional Crisis-Level PMSing women should not be let near their email accounts.
I hate realizing what I've written to people the morning after.
Now I have to explain to Scott that YES, I'm OKAY, I'm FINE, REALLY.
Just IGNORE that emotional girl that comes out once a month!

When I was young

When I was young I LOVED Robert Palmer.
LOVED HIM.
Even saw him in concert at the Warfield Theater,
Where I discovered he was one of the most boring live performers ever.
I still LOVE his music.
Good Night Mr. Palmer.

Today has been a day from hell at work, I am so glad it's over.
Tonight the kids are at their dad's, probably a good thing.
And tonight is Survivor.
I'm going to sit here in the quiet and eat popcorn or maybe a smoothie and watch it.

Big Brother4 over finally.
I hated Allison through the whole season, but by the end I thought maybe she did deserve to win.
However,
It was quite fun watching her lose.
Now,
On to Survivor7!!!!

I want I want

I want I want I want
This movie came out when I was in high school and I wasn't allowed to see it.
And I've never seen it since.
Recently, you couldn't even get it on video or dvd!!!
I am SO glad it's finally coming out.
Maybe I can get it for Birthday or Christmas!

The spam I receive

The spam I receive has DEcreased dramatically in the last couple days.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Only a few in my trash, bulk and inboxes.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

The kids are in the backyard running through the sprinkler in their school clothes.
I don't even care, I'm happy for them.
I'd run through in my work dress if I wasn't too tired to get up.

Buffy's new smile:

And Buffy smiling the goofiest smile I've ever seen:

Honestly, she's usually much prettier than that, hahahha!!!!!

Day Two at Curves

Day Two at Curves went much better.
Now *this* is a workout I can get in shape with.

I am back and we had a GREAT time, especially making fun of Princess Missy,
and also we saw "Underworld"
We've been seeing previews for months, it looked SO GREAT,
But then our newspaper absolutey PANNED IT, so I didn't want to go see one more really bad movie after SO MANY bad ones this summer.
But Scott still wanted to see it and I am SO GLAD.
That was one FANTASTIC movie.
Had a GREAT story, VERY well written, with a totally unexpected plot twist halfway through.
I LOVED it.
5 *'s
Also,
I had some of the absolutely best sex EVER this afternoon.
So neener neener to all you who didn't.
:-)

Your Guestbook entries are cracking me up!
I just went to Fitlinxx.com (my old YMCA website) and found the formula to get your heartrate...
And according to their scientific formula I should be exercizing with a pulse between 120-168.
Which means I should be able to workout in their "blue" zone OR their "purple" zone.
Their "Yellow to Green" zone is too low for me.
So THERE, Princess Missy.
:-)

I have to get Spike to school by 7am tomorrow so I will probably be gone from here until Sunday evening.
Everyone have a fun weekend!!!

My favorite part of

My favorite part of tonight's Survivor:
Rupert "pirating" the other team's shoes.
We laughed SO HARD.
He's my favorite so far.
And finally, they kicked off the skanky bitch FIRST.

Her name tag really

Her name tag really did say Princess Missy!
I didn't make that up!

Happy Thursday! Today I

Happy Thursday!
Today I get to:
Drive my new Jeep
Go to my new Gym
Watch the new Survivor!!!!
It's going to be a Great Day!!!!

And now, may I introduce
Natalia Kristal

This McDonald's story cracked

This McDonald's story cracked me up.

I am busy finishing

I am busy finishing up American Gods (which is just absolutely wonderful) so I haven't been on much lately.
Fungal-Nail gets to see Neil Gaiman tomorrow and I am jealous, but I love her anyway.
And tomorrow,
Finally,
SURVIVOR STARTS!!!!
I have barely been able to wait for this, I hope it's good, I can't wait to see them walk the plank, can't wait to see them suffering, can't wait for the fighting, CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
Also, I start Curves tomorrow, and I am getting more and more excited about that, especially now that I personally know 3 people who go and love it there.
CAN'T WAIT!!!
Also, I got insurance and registered the Jeep today. It is MINE now!!!!
I will post picture soon.
Now, Back to American Gods.

Scott is sick, he is sleeping soundly in my bed and that feels really good, that I can take care of him.
I drove the Jeep home today, tomorrow I get it registered.
Thursday I go to Curves.
So far it's a Good Week
*cross fingers*

Good Morning Everyone!!!

That picture below is now one of my favorite pictures and I've clicked back to it about a hundred times today.
It cracks me up every time I see it, because we were cracking up that whole afternoon.
And even though it's just a flicker in time to you all, I remember the moment very well, and it was a moment filled with love just like they all are.
I just LOVE that man!!!

"Pischina, Dammit, you will

"Pischina, Dammit, you will NOT put this picture on the internet!!! Pischina, I'm not kidding, put the damn camera DOWN."
Neener Neener!!!!

I installed the software and it worked!!!
I took SO MANY pictures off my camera and they're all ready to be posted.
Right now I need to get ready for the wedding, so I'll see ya'll later.
With Pictures!!!

Now would be a

Now would be a good time to put the camera software on the computer so I can empty the memory cards and take some pictures today, eh?
Okay, I'll do it right now.

Scott just called, he

Scott just called, he wanted to know what he was supposed to wear "to this thing" and didn't sound very happy At All.
Probably the first time I've ever heard him sound like that.
I know how he feels, I don't want to go to this wedding either, but it won't be as bad as he thinks, and I'll make sure he has a good time - or at least not an awful time.

All right, I'm dressed.
Happy now??

Sitting here in shorts

Sitting here in shorts and no top whatsoever I'm thinking maybe I should put a shirt on before the kids get here in less than half an hour.
But I don't want to.
It's Hot.

And for some good

And for some good entertainment news:
David Letterman is to become a father!!!

Johnny Cash died last

Johnny Cash died last night,
AND John Ritter died too????

Now I am off to Buffy's open house.
I was supposed to meet Buffy and Spike there with their dad,
But I'll give you one guess what the phone message I just got said.
Look through past journal entries to see if dad has EVER shown up at open house.
Aw yes, but he "does EVERYthing" for them, Remember?
:-)

This morning Spike was

This morning Spike was whining and wailing about having NO CLEAN SOCKS to wear, and I told him perhaps that was because he didn't put ANY DIRTY SOCKS or ANY OTHER PIECE OF CLOTHING out for me to wash last Friday.
(Because I do wash over the weekend only)
And lo and behold, I sitting here looking at a huge pile of dirty Spike socks piled up right next to the living room chair.
I guess they are sitting in some sort of invisible laundry basket,
Because I KNOW he hasn't just been leaving them on the floor like that...
Sometimes I think they do these things on purpose just because they know they'll be safe at their dad's house when I find out,
For instance there was also a big sloppy jar of jelly left on the counter today.
But then I remember,
No,
They do this stuff EVERY day.

P.S. I love Scott

P.S. I love Scott too, so so much, I just feel silly telling you every single reason why.
But I do, I really really do.

Every evening when I

Every evening when I come home from work, as I round the front walk to the front door I can hear my bird start frantically chirping, she gets so excited when I come home!
I love my little birdie, it's so nice knowing someone is always happy to see you!

Absolutely the best news

Absolutely the best news I heard yesterday.

I updated the diary,
Pretty boring really,
Now I'm going to bed.
I still have Meg's email,
I think I'll write her from work tomorrow.
Need.
More.
Time.

In response to all

In response to all you who commenting on me being an "SUV Mom"
That is SO wrong!
First, I personally hate SUVs with a passion,
But this is a much smaller car, more like a jeep, not a big ole gas guzzler.
And we'll only be using it for beach trips, and my weekends to Aptos, you have to drive Highway 17 to get either place and thats a long windy dangerous mountain road, much better suited to the jeep than the convertible.
BigBoss is going to get the transmission serviced and the oil changed, then when I register it next week (after payday) I get to take it home.
Okay, I'm at work so I better skedaddle QUICK.

Today Scott comes for dinner so I'll be missing for awhile again,
But tomorrow I have emails to return,
Meg you especially,
Then Leslie too
And then maybe possibly I could write an entry too.
Need.
More.
Time.

My son gets straight

My son gets straight A's in school and all his teachers love him,
Yet last night he sent me and all his other friends this email:
"hello ppl .yestaday i ded my hair a rrealy wierd color.its like blonde and red.its pretty kool cause i just usd one color hair dye..well its like light blonde on the sides and magenta on top.thats when its wet ot geled.well i have ta go to school.cya derrick and and at school.ok gtg bye!"
Maybe it's not really his spelling skills, maybe he just needs a typing class.
Yes, he did get an emailed lecture back, haha, and yes his hair is very red too.
It looks good.

I got the Jeep!!!
BigBoss said it's a good thing I left the voicemails over the weekend cuz crewguy (and my archenemy) Louis asked for the jeep early this morning but Bigboss told him Nope, it's Pischina's!!!
bwahahahhahaaaaaa.....
Made the jeep even more sweet knowing I snaked it from Louis,
I know, I'm evil.
Anyway, we worked it out so payments will start after my loan is paid off,
Which is also after 401K is paid off,
and After Christmas,
So we will be all Fine by then!
Jeep is getting detailed right now, then it will be MINE.
:-)

Back home and feeling all better now.
We determined I was so sick because I hadn't eaten since lunch Friday, then I dumped that coffee and pesto bagel with cream cheese into my poor tummy, without my gallbladder it just couldn't handle it.
By lunch time I was feeling great.
And I had a great weekend.
Wrote a tiny bit in the diary, not much though.
It's back to work tomorrow,
But I'm kind of looking forward to it because I'll find out about the Jeep Cherokee.
The kids are super excited about it, they LOVE that jeep,
And we could use the extra room sometimes.
I only have 4 seatbelts in my car, and virtually NO trunk space.
So the jeep will be great.

Scott is teaching me kung fu!!!
He is starting with tai chi, he said that's the best way to get the basics, but I am SO HONORED, I was afraid to ask him because I know he takes it so seriously and I didn't want him to think I was only interested because I like him, and I was scared that I wouldn't be good enough. But he's a GREAT teacher, and is letting me copy him from behind, I won't let him watch me yet until I can practice. He also said he'd let me go to class with him and he'd have his friend Linda teach me so I'd feel more comfortable.
I didn't even ask if he would teach me, he just offered last night. I was so happy and he seemed so happy that I wanted to learn.
I'm telling you, I'm going to marry that man one day, whether he likes it or not.
:-)

My stomach is NOT

My stomach is NOT a happy camper, let me tell you. And Mr.Holistic-Health-Scott probably has no pepto bismol in the cupboard, I'm sure he'll probably try to convince me to chew some tree bark or some dried up caterpillar heads. That's no joke, folks. Anyway, I'm about ready to say Bring on the tree bark if that will help my poor tummy.
I will NOT chew dead (or alive) caterpillars though.

Well it turns out

Well it turns out I have a few more minutes computer time before Scott comes back from class, so I'll continue updating for a sec.
I took a Benadryl this morning, my first time ever, because I have horrible allergies in Aptos that affect my contact lenses. And ever since then I've been having horrible stomach problems, as in, I need to keep close to a bathroom, very very close. Could this possibly be from the Benadryl? Is that a side effect? Because if so, I'd rather walk around blind and itchy.
I went to my Aptos coffee shop this morning and it seemed like 90% of the patrons were talking about their workout at Curves (which is right down the block from it).
Also I did my own little circuit training at Scott's school this morning to see how it went, pretty good actually. We'll see, I have a lot to think about still.
My company is selling off one of its company vehicles, a Jeep Cherokee with over 200,000 miles on it, but a brand new engine. For $4,500, payments accepted, and Scott was the last guy to drive it. He said he would help me buy it if need be, which you and he all know I won't let happen but it was very sweet for him to offer. But it would take a load off my mind, and also off my poor convertible, the poor car wanted to blow up sitting on highway 1 last night (40 minutes to drive 10 miles). If I split the driving between the two vehicles (jeep for Aptos, car for San Jose) both cars would last a lot longer. So I hope I can get it. My loans are paid off in December and payments on the jeep would be less than half of them, leaving me still with over $250 extra a month.
Okay, I think this post is going to be extremely long so I'll post for now.

I'm in Aptos today

I'm in Aptos today for the first time since Mommy Camp (except just for an afternoon) and I feel very relaxed again. I may have computer time later, but for now, back I go to relaxing.
Oh, and thanks for all your feedback, I'll talk about my decision when I have more time.
Happy Weekend!!!

Well, so far everyone who has an opinion about Curves Gym says exactly what I feel,
(Meg, I wanted to walk out as soon as I walked in too!!!)
And I also agree that this is NOT HARD ENOUGH for me,
The only Big Pluses that are overriding the minuses are
The Location
And the fact that it WILL be a 30 minute workout 3 times a week.
I'm hoping it will just be a starting off point for me,
Then I can supplement it with the weight bench, and start running when I feel better.
I'm still looking for more opinions though!
I've given myself to September 18 to decide on Curves.
Thank you everyone!

I updated the diary, just not much time on computer lately.
Hope to have many pictures posted soon though...

Plus we had lunch too,
And overall we just had a real fun time.

Well the car worked

Well the car worked fine yesterday,
So between the Goodwill, Salvation Army and Factory 2-U,
We spent under $100 and got
For Buffy:
2 pants, 1 overalls, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 3 shirts
For Spike:
1 jeans, 4 shirts
For Me:
1 pants, 2 shirts
Pretty darn good for less than $95!!!
