Blah blee blah

goody

1. Got some cardio in at the gym on Wednesday morning, as I planned.
   
2. Went shopping with Amy earlier tonight, got a new shirt at Hot Topic, my mom a gift card for Bath and Body Works for her bday, and some new body wash.
   
3. Got my reimbursement check back from my new eyeglasses that I turned in a few weeks ago. I'm going to deposit it tommorrow morning after I get off work. This will help out a lot with bills and such.
   
4. Maybe if I do enough whining once my boss gets here at 5:30am, he will take pity on me and let me go early. It would be nice to hit the gym, go to the ATM and get gas before going home for my Cheerios. If I do ideally get to leave that much earlier, I may have a chance for a 2 hour nap before visiting Dad at the hospital. Lord knows I need a nap.
   
5. It's the weekend! I'm off tommorrow night and I'm gonna have a good ol time! I deserve it, I think.
   

Oh dear..

1. Got three more teeth drilled and filled and another permanent crown put in this afternoon. I am in lots of pain. I've been taking Extra Strength Tylenol and it's still a dull ache.
   
2. KDFC, KOIT and Max Fm got bought out by Entercom today. My boss called to tell me about it, plus Leeanne called. As far as I know we all have jobs.. even if format changes happen, they usually keep board ops. Good to know. Buy outs are never a good thing, in the long run. Unless you're going from Clear Channel to something better, LOL. (This is one of my parttime gigs I work at on Saturday mornings. If I get canned, I think I'll recover.)
   
3. I am uber exhausted. I couldn't sleep after coming back from the dentist today, no matter how hard I tried, or what drugs I took. I gave up and went shopping, and now I'm pooped.
   
4. Working a 12 hour shift today and I feel terrible. Definite nappytime in a while here at work. As long as I'm semiconsicious I'll be fine.
   
5. One of my "friends" that has too much spare time was being an ass earlier. I told him that I work 50-60 hrs a week, and when I'm not working I'm hanging with my other friends. He logged on AIM and asked what I was up to. I said I had just gotten to work for a 12 hour shift. Then he called me a fuckin moron and logged off. Nice guy. Some people are so selfish.
   

weirdass dreams...

yay..

1. Had a funny/weird dream on Tuesday. I was in front of some school which didn't look like my high school or college at all, and there were these gang members wearing black and red that were fighting. Only they weren't like gang fighting, it looked more like pro wrestling. Lots of picking people up and slamming them on the ground. All of a sudden some kid turned on a ghetto blaster and played "Fergalicious", and everyone started breakdancing. So awesome. Next thing I know Fernando is walking up to some side gate opening it, and saw me. He yelled, "Hurry up you're gonna be late for 1st period." So I caught up to him and he wanted to see my schedule, which I didn't even know was in my hand. He was excited because we had cooking class together. Then my alarm went off and I woke up. Hahahaha.
   
2. I ate relatively healthy the last few days, getting at least 3-4 servings of fruit/veggies. This is a drastic improvement and probably one of the main causes of plateauing and not losing more weight.
   
3. I drank Naked Apple Juice on Tuesday morning, and honestly it's the best juice I've ever tasted. Just like I was eating an apple. Totally organic. It was so good, I could do a commercial.
   

the ugly..

1. My dad is getting drastically better which kicks ass, but the hospital wants to transfer him to a rehab-like facility. This place costs $20,000 a month without insurance.. and my parents' current combo of insurance won't cover it. This and they make too much money to qualify for Medi-Cal. Thank you Governator! If the social worker doesn't find a loophole or help us find some way to pay on a sliding scale, my parents are screwed.
   
2. I originally planned on hitting the gym Tuesday morning, but I had to take my mom to get blood work done at the lab. She has a doctor appointment next Wednesday morning. Least I can go later this morning and on Friday morning. Thursday I have a fun dentist appointment to look forward to. Hooray for permanent crowns and lots of drilling.
   
3. I've been drinking regular Coke at home, trying to get rid of the 2 liter that was bought for my sister's bday party last month. So yeah I'm drinking liquid sugar, like half a glass a day. I'm horrible. After that lots of organic juice, ice tea and water. Bad Lisa, bad bad Lisa.
   

pretty eventul

fantastic..

1. Got to the gym on Sunday afternoon, did some cardio and serious ab work. I know I have abs somewhere under that flab.
   
2. Both my mom and Cathy reassured me that I'm not a fat slob and I need to stop making myself feel guilty and bad everyday. It takes time to lose weight. Also, I have a lot of friends who think I'm awesome, that has to count for something.
   
3. I did an awesome airshift on Sunday morning. Okay it wasn't awesome by many standards, but I had a good vibe going. I was rested for once.
   
4. Went to Applebees with Cathy, TJ, Dave and Amy on Friday night and had a great dinner. I drank a Bahama Mama. Then I went home and drank like 3 mudslides. WHOO. It was fun.
   
5. If everything goes to plan I will be hitting the gym 4 times this week, including yesterday. I'm trying so hard to do better at getting healthy.
   
6. Went to Costco with the family on Saturday afternoon. It was a madhouse, but I got lots of healthy veggies and a lot of steak that I wrapped and froze. I'm pretty happy with the groceries I got.
   
7. Oh yes, Mom, Michelle and I went to Target on Thursday night (I can't remember if I mentioned this last week) and I got a new space heater. It's been like 20-30 degrees at night and only like 40-50 degrees during the day. For California, that's freezing. The heater and my fleece blankies have made life bearable. I am so thankful for that heater, though.
   

grrrr.

1. Where to start.. Saturday morning BART (our subway system in the San Francisco area) had serious problems, not even running service to San Francisco for a while. I ended up having Cathy pick me up at the Coliseum station and drive me across the Bay Bridge to work. I was a little over an hour late. Hooray for mass transit.
   
2. Oh yeah, woke up with a hangover headache on Saturday, all my own fault. Guess too many mudslides can do that to ya. Major headache, but Tylenol and a hot shower did help.
   
3. Oh yes speaking of showers, Friday evening while showering, my shower rod and curtain attacked me and fell on my head. I went out Saturday evening and bought a new rod and curtain, but now it won't stay up. So for 3 days I've showered with no curtain, with lots of bath mats and towels on the floor. No fun.
   
4. SERIOUS AUTOMATION PROBS at KDFC on Saturday morning. First I was late, then I get to work and the computer seriously crashes. I had to run all the programming off CDs, DAT and what commercials were actually loaded on the Digicart machine. All this while on the phone with tech support. This took about 3 hours total since we did lots of housekeeping and booting computers from servers. Blah blah blah. What sucked was I left lots of voicemails for engineers and for my boss, and no one called back. I wrote a gigantic email to my boss explaining everything in writing, so I covered my ass, basically.
   
5. Had to update this "conflict of interest" thing at KDFC. They ask what other broadcast entities I'm affiliated with, so I put Family Radio and Coast Radio. Hopefully they don't fire me for conflict of interest, since I work for two commercial stations in the same market. If I do get canned, maybe I can go for that Saturday morning shift on KKIQ. I'm hoping it's not, I love Bonneville's perks. I'm so selfish. LOL
   
6. I think I may have pissed off my friend Saturday evening. She wanted really badly to go to the Saddlerack and dance. I was uber stressed and exhausted from running around all day and I had to get up at 4:30am the next day. I ended up goin to bed at 10pm. She pretended not to be mad, but I know better. Sorry lady, I was pooped.
   

Yes! The weekend is upon us!

Fantastic..

1. Got more cardio in on Thursday morning. I'm going to start hitting the gym even more next week, maybe even 4 times. We will see.
   
2. Going to Costco on Saturday, well at least my mom and Cathy are. I could get a new space heater out of it, which I desperately need at home. It's like so cold. At least cold for California. Like 30 degrees, freezing weather.
   
3. Finally hung out with Cathy and Amy on Wednesday night. After grubbin at Chilis we drove around and wasted time, just like the good ol days. It was fantastic.
   
4. Going to have another miniparty at my place tonight. Mudslides and lots of fun. Maybe this guy I like named James will come along. That would be nice. I'd like to get to know him better.
   

blah..

1. Pigged out at Chilis on Wednesday night with Cathy and Amy. I call this bad becuase we had cheese and broccoli soup, shared a sampler platter, I even ate some french fries. It was an enjoyable experience but I felt guilty afterwards.
   
2. It's freezing!! Brr!!!
   

Actually learned something

goodness..

1. Finally got my new glasses on Tuesday morning. Now I don't have too look like a geek today at the airstaff meeting with taped up glasses.
   
2. Dad and I actually had good conversations on Monday and Tuesday morning. He had his speaking valve in, and told me how much he appreciated me bringing Mom everyday. He also loves me, which is good to know.
   
3. Got some cardio done on Tuesday morning, actually ran for 4 minutes. I can't remember the last time I ran, period. I'm going to try to make it to the gym on Thursday and Friday morning, doing more cardio and some toning. I can get more toning done once Dad's out of the hospital. That way I can hit the gym longer then 45 minutes.
   

ugh..

1. I've gained about 4-5lbs since Christmas, which isn't a shocker. Lots of bad holiday food plus food leftover from two parties. Also factoring in not always making it to the gym often, and lots of stress. My new goal is to try and visit the gym 3-4 days a week now. I'm going to do this, I'm going to get under 200lbs and keep on going. I have to.
   
2. Kinda nervous about my first staff meeting at KKIQ. I don't know why, I just am. I just finished reading Numbers in the Bible about how the Jews didn't want to enter Canaan because some spies reported giants living there and stuff, and even though Joshua and Caleb trusted in God to protect them, the others didn't. God got mad and had them wandering in the desert for 40 years and killed off a lot of the people, except Joshua and Caleb. So yeah, I think I'll trust in God and remember he's with me whenever I'm in a new and weird situation. Amen.
   

5 little known facts about me.

Victoria tagged me to post 5 little known facts about myself. Here we go....

1. I attended UC Berkeley for 5 years. The UC Berkeley Academic Talent Development Program that is. It's basically summer school for gifted kids. I went there from 1986-1991. It was a lot of fun. Took science classes, drama, creative writing, stuff like that.
   
2. When I was a kid I had some weird phobia about hearing people sniffling their noses, or people eating loudly/smacking their lips. Bothered me so much I would sit in class with my fingers in my ears if someone had a cold. Bad enough I couldn't sit in the same room as other people eating. Started when I was about 8, waned off about 5 years ago. I'm not joking. I still cringe when people chew their gum loudly.
   
3. I got constantly picked on in middle school and high school. Bullied a lot. I was definitely different and nerdy. I didn't dress like the others and frankly didn't care. I was asked "Are you in special ed?" on more then one occasion. I also got laughed at in the hallways. I took almost all honors classes, so the kids in there left me alone for the most part. The mainstream classes like P.E. and electives like Drivers Ed are where I got the most trouble.
4. Both my parents are in pretty severe health. It's sad. That's why I try so hard to be healthy, lose weight and such. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 14 and had a mastectomy. After she recovered from chemotherapy, a few years later, she had eye surgery for the ulcers she has in both eyes. It helped somewhat, but made her legally blind so she could barely drive. She then began to suffer from Charkot's disease, where the bones (in her left foot in this case) become brittle and disintegrate. She began walking with a special brace on her leg. In December of 2003 she collapsed in the bathroom at home and was rushed to the hospital. Turns out she has congestive heart failure, and her kidney function was down to under 10%. She had to start dialysis. Her left leg had also become severely infected with gangrene, thanks to lots of sores from diabetes and the Charkot's. They amputated her left leg from the knee down. She's been doing okay since then. We found out recently that she probably has to go back on dialysis soon because her potassium levels and such are up. Right now she's waiting for my dad's condition to improve before she goes back. My dad has pretty messed up lungs from smoking for 50 something years. He went in the hospital with pneumonia on November 21st, and has been transferred to another hospital since then. He may be transferred to another one in the near future. It's more like rehab then skilled nursing, which is good. But yeah, it sucks to have ailing parents.
   
5. My grandma on my mom's side was first cousins with Herbert Hoover, one of our former presidents. They used to ride horses together. Weird, huh? I also learned that my grandpa played the steel guitar. How fascinating.
   

There's my 5 facts. Most seem pretty sad, but that's my life secrets I don't always talk about. Due to people already thinking I'm nuts.

Typical weekend

good..

1. Had fun on Friday night getting drunk and playing Monopoly with Noelle. She beat my ass, it was still fun.
   
2. Got a new PeeWee Herman shirt and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt from Hot Topic on Saturday. I'll be sportin them this week. :)
3. Supposed to be goin to a benefit concert for Dennis Erectus on Friday night with Tricia in Santa Clara. About time I go out and have fun.
   
4. Saturday night I'm going to be dragged out to the Saddlerack in Fremont with Noelle and Jolene. About time I get some hot guys to dance with. Now to ponder what the hell I need to wear.
   

ugly..

1. Woke up puking on Sunday morning, well puking and shitting at the same time. Sorry for being graphic. I wasn't sure at the time if I was hungover or seriously ill. Now I'm leaning towards ill. My stomach is still kinda iffy, and my throat's been swollen all day. Felt slightly feverish this morning at work. Yes I did my shift at KKIQ. I'm a trooper. I slept from 1pm to 9pm on Sunday so maybe that will help in fighting off whatever virus this seems to be.
   
2. My glasses still aren't freakin ready. Probably will be Tuesday/Wednesday earliest. I have a jock meeting at KKIQ on Wednesday morning so I'd like my new glasses by then.
   
3. Got two teeth drilled and one temporarily crowned on Thursday afternoon. Three shots of Lidocaine. Not a fun experience whatsoever. My jaw hurted for a day or so, but Tylenol helped.
   

bowling!!!!!

Bowling

Finally getting rest..

The good...

1. Slept 7 1/2 hrs on Wednesday, and 9 hours on Tuesday! I needed it.
2. My eye doctor says my presription is actually weaker now, my eyesight is better. No more astigmatism, I'm still nearsighted but not as bad. Praise god. When I finally get my new glasses next week, I'll be posting pics. Don't worry.
3. Got some cardio done at the gym on Tuesday morning, finally.
4. Myspace lets you upload up to 300 pics now, amazing. I'm gonna have fun with this stuff.


The not so good..

1. Fucker on Youtube keeps making unkind references to my weight on my videos. I'm not that fat, am I? Somedays I feel like I'm on top of the world, some stupid kid opens her mouth and there goes my good day.
2. Had a major breakdown/fight with my mom on Tuesday morning. I was exhausted beyond belief, running errands, getting tired of spending my days working and running errands. I snapped. I felt bad later. I also went home and cried my heart out for about 20 minutes while Turbo comforted me, then I fell asleep. I felt so much better once I released everything.
3. Have a dentist appointment this afternoon. I'm not looking forward to getting teeth drilled again, plus having to pay for it. Well, at least 20% of it.
4. Had to pay for my glasses/exam in full on Wednesday, and my work is paying for a good chunk of it. Still sucks since I won't see my money for like 3 weeks. I don't even get my itemized receipt till I pick em up, so I can't turn in anything to my work until next week. Ugh. I wish I could qualify for Medi-Cal, but I think I make too much money. Nice. I can't afford my own insurance, but I make too much money for the state to help. Thanks Arnold! Once I get my car paid off and my credit cards way down in like 1 or 2 years, I think I can afford my own private health insurance.

A new year, a new beginning

last day of 06.. first day of 07..

Good

1. A coworker noticed I've began losing weight. I'm not really shedding the pounds right now, but I'm pretty stocky and muscular so I guess I'm toning better. I don't know, really.
2. Dad was awake today, which is good since I hear he pretty much slept through the weekend.
3. Actually got 8 hours sleep on Monday afternoon/evening. Praise god.
4. Still infatuated with my XM radio. I've been bumpin The Groove lately, with old school R&B soul stuff. Think I scared Victoria with it, but that's okay. Haha.

Bad

1. Been eating way too much of Cathy's party leftovers. That's the bummer. I don't like to waste food, so leftover buffalo wings, pizza, potato salad and lots of cake. (Not all at once, I'm not that bad. Little bits here and there.)
2. I'm still in the midst of working 10 days in a row, with some crazyass shifts. The fact that I'm helping my mom everyday and also going to optometrist and dentist appointments leaves me with little sleep lately. I can't wait until Friday night. I need to chill out and do something really fun involving alcohol.
3. I've been head achy the past 3 days or so, but I think it's due to my need for new glasses. Mine broke, I've scotch taped them together until I can get an appointment for an eye exam and get the frames in. I think the tape messes with my peripheral vision or something. Maybe I just need a new prescription and God make me break the frames as a wake up call. Who knows?

Fun for everyone

Okay here are some various pics

good weekend

My Friday and Saturday..

Good...

1. Had fatass party at my place for Cathy's bday. More people came than expected. Fun was had by all.
   
2. I LOOOOOOOOVE my XM radio. It so kicks ass. Leeanne was whining about how satellite radio is hurting terrestrial radio and crap, but that's what they said about cable back in the 70s. Is there still network TV? Yeah I thought so too.
   
3. Despite my lack of sleep at home I've been dozing and taking some kickass naps here at work off and on. Not anything to be too proud of, and they aren't technically naps. Just periods of time where I shut my eyes and drift off for 20 min intervals only to wake up to reminder alarms, IMs from friends on AIM or friends calling me.
   

Bad...

1. My glasses broke on Friday evening. I rolled over on them in bed. I have to venture to Walmart this afternoon after work to get a new prescription and frames. Thank god work pays me back 80%.
   
2. Had to leave the party early last night. Major bummer, we were having a ton of fun.
   
3. Didn't have time to upload my party pics, I'll do that tonight and they'll be on the blog by Tuesday at the latest since I'm a lazy bum.
   

crankiness

Wednesday and Thursday were longass days for me. Way too long

good..

1. Finally got new XM radio, my Delphi Sky2 or whatever. It's going to be way awesome.
   
2. Dad has a new thing on his trache so he can talk now. Boy he's had a lot to say. None of it very nice.
3. Went to breakfast with Leeanne on Thursday morning, had a cool coupon that saved us like $3-4. It was nice to see a good friend and chill for a bit.
   
4. Even though I slept through it, Amy, Cathy and Sean came over Thursday evening and played my new Monopoly game. I snored through the whole damn thing, no prob though.
   
5. I discovered I had $161 more than I thought in my bank account. I forgot to add in a paycheck from KDFC a few weeks ago. Yes! I won't be overdrawn when I write the rent check next week. Hallelujah!
   

Bad....

1. Ended up working 12 hours on Wednesday night, from 7pm to 7am. Not really complaining, but I was so BORED.
   
2. Haven't gone to the gym all stinking week. I've been so busy with Christmas, helping out my mom, hangin with friends in between and doing something crazy called sleeping. I'm going to seriously attempt to do some cardio this morning after work. Wish me luck on that.
3. On Wednesday/Thursday had a 26 hour day. Yes 26 hours. Woke up at 5pm on Wednesday afternoon, did not go sleepy until after 6pm on Thursday evening. Why you may ask? Read below.
   
4. It took about 4 hours too long to get my XM radio installed. I had an appointment on Thursday afternoon for 12pm at Best Buy. When I arrived they said they were backed up and it would be 3 hours, until 3pm. That was disappointing, but I had lunch at Fresh Choice, then read books at Borders for an hour or two. I came back at 3pm, my car hadn't even been started on. I didn't leave the place until 5pm. By that time I had been up for 24 hours. I took the streets home and got home at like 5:45. I was no happy camper.
   
5. It took 3 tries to activate my radio. The first time it didn't work since I didn't know you had to keep it on Ch. 1 for 15-20 min. I was impatient and probably driving like a drunk woman. The second time I had reset the receiver with the guy from the XM hotline, and drivin the car to work, sitting in the parking lot for an extra 15 min. Still didn't work. I went online to their website and reset it again, and sat in my car for like 30 min freezing. It finally worked, I have my presets and crap all figured out.
   
6. Another thing I'm cranky about is that it's hard to detach the little tuner thing. I don't like it sitting there attracting attenton to people walking by. I'm gonna figure something to do about it, don't worry.
   
7. I'm also cranky since I'm trying to teach my friend the basics of HTML, hotlinking, stealing bandwidth and such and how it's wrong.. she's kinda taking it as if I'm trying to tell her she's stupid. Takin it the wrong way. *sigh*
   

testing a theory

My holiday fun!!

Friday 12/22- Tuesday 12/2

Good stuff..

1. Christmas was an absolute blast!! Lots of great food, fun, singing songs, great presents. Some included money and a gift card towards my new XM radio (being installed early Thursday afternoon), speakers for my iPod (currently blasting The Godfathers here at work), Monopoly Here And Now, a singing stuffed giraffe, Sesame Street ornaments. Also, giftcards for Borders which I used to buy Little Miss Sunshine, Sesame Street Old School, giftcard for Target I used towards a new desk chair, storage containers, Criminal Minds season 1, and lots of cups. And I got nonwinning lotto scratchers, tons of candy, lots of body lotion and spray, I can go on forever. Oh yeah, two new fleece throw blankets for home, one for couch and one for my bed.
   
2. Had 4 days off from my fulltime job over the weekend. I got 12 hours of sleep on Monday night. Felt fantastic. Now I'm at work tryin to get into the swing of things. Ugh.
   
3. Fun party at my place on Friday night. I had two mudslides and one rum & egg nog. Fattening as hell, but oh so worth it.
   
4. I'm comin in to work 4 hours early later today, gonna make me some OT. Due to my switch in schedule last weekend, my hours are gonna be funky. This will help.
   

Bad stuff....

1. Dad keeps pulling his damn tubes out, like his In-G tube, which goes up his nose and down his throat to his tummy, feeding him. He's a stubborn old fart.
   
2. Pizza at the party on Friday night was fuckin $41 for two larges. What the hell is that? We're not ordering Round Table at the party this week. Chicago Pizza is cheaper, and I have coupons.
   
3. Starting today I'm workin like 10 days in a row since I switched days with the weekend guy. Lord help me.
   
4. My XM radio's gonna cost quite a bit more once I get the FM modulator and actual radio installed.. good thing Mom gave me $100 towards it, as well as Dave's giftcard. Oh and I'm getting a $50 rebate. Yay. Oh well.
   

Merry Christmas!!

Wednesday and Thursday, and what comes ahead this holiday weekend!!!

Good

1. Christmas!!! It doesn't matter whether Dad's still in the hospital or not, I'm going to try to have one awesome weekend. I have the Christmas spirit finally!
2. Saw Aunt Brenda, Uncle Jim and one of our cousins Kim on Thursday evening. It's fun to visit our nice relatives and think about the good ol days.
   
3. Dad was very alert both Wednesday and Thursday. Praise the lord.
   
4. Kim heard the funnyass comment I made about Aunt Becky on Myspace.. she thought it was hilarious.
   
5. I'm off from my tulltime job Friday morning through late Tuesday evening. Four days off straight is like a minivacation. I still am working at KDFC on Saturday and Xmas day, and at KKIQ on Xmas eve. Those are small shifts, so I'm not tripping. Plenty of time for family, food and fun. Oh and alcohol. :)
6. Got a nice nap here at work off and on for 3 hours or so. It wasn't really a nap, but I laid back in the chair, roasted my toes, and listened to the soft holiday music while I ignored my friends constantly IMing me with links to retarded Youtube videos. Haha.
   
7. Having a holiday get together at my place tonight. Pizza and alcohol, good times. I'm gonna torture people with holiday tunes. :)
8. Got some cardio in on Thursday morning. I felt so proud of myself for going to the gym despite my exhaustion and insane schedule. This weekend it's kinda out of the question, no worries. Calories don't count on holidays!!
   

Bad

1. Wednesday turned out to be a 30 hour day for me. I was so exhausted. I only slept 4 hours on Thursday afternoon.
   
2. I refuse to wear shoes/socks unless I have a damn good reason. Thursday I should have used my head. Soaked my feet and got my pants wet walking in the rain to my parents' house. My feet were freezing off and on for like 4 hours until I got home. As soon as I got comfy, I had to leave home and go to work. I roasted my feet at work though.
   

goodness

Summary of Monday and Tuesday..

Good stuff

1. Dad was pretty alert when I saw him both days. Slightly drowsy, but awake. Good sign.
   
2. They left a "New York" deli sandwich for me in the fridge. I may eat it a bit later this morning, I already had scrambled eggs and tomato soup for dinner and chocolate silk pie for dessert.(Yes I know it's evil but hey mom gave me a slice, I can't resist dessert.)
   
3. My cousin Terry messaged me on Myspace and agreed that Aunt Becky is pretty damn scary, she has to spend Xmas with her. Thank god for alcohol. Hahaha.
   
4. Actually went to the gym Tuesday morning and got some cardio done. I feel so much better about myself when I exercise.
   
5. 5 days until Christmas!! Yay!!!
   

Bad stuff

1. Woke up really late on Monday night, barely had time to shower, had to eat a Healthy Choice meatloaf dinner at work.
   
2. My second fave bra broke on Monday night. Now I'm wearing my sucky one until my other is out of the laundry. That's on my list of shit to buy after Xmas. (I have a list of stuff I want/need, but wanna wait to see what gift cards and such I receive.)
3. Manny still owes me money for previous gym payments I've made since May when we broke up. I emailed him and will continue harassing him until I get the dough. He's up to $232 now. When we were goin out he nagged me about getting the money my friend Mike owed me. Well now he owes me himself, that fucker. (Note to self: Never sign contracts together until you are married!!!)
   

Things are lookin up...

My weekend..

1. Dad was pretty alert on Sunday evening and let me give him a kiss on the cheek. Something I haven't done in like 20 years or so.
   
2. Got snookered on Saturday night at the Iron Horse with Cathy, Amy, TJ and Dave off 2 mudslides (in a one hour period, LOL). Almost fell off the barstool and almost peed in the men's bathroom. All in all a good night.
   
3. Went shopping with Davina and Shuki (Davina's mom) on Friday night at Bayfair, had a great time, bought some shirts and makeup for myself.
   
4. Went to Carrows with Mom and Cathy on Sunday night, had some awesome chicken and mushroom thing with veggies and rice (well the rice is better then mashed potatoes, LOL).
   

Bad...

1. I feel like I'm getting nowhere on my diet/exercise thing. Probably because I've been so busy helping out with my Dad in the hospital and such. I just haven't had time to go to the gym much. Twice a week if I'm lucky enough.
   
2. Cathy yelled at me on Saturday night. She was giving me directions on pushing Mom's wheelchair and I almost tipped Mom over. It's funny now that I think about it, but Cathy really made me feel bad. Boo. I'm over it though.
   
3. I was bad Sunday morning at KKIQ. They had lemon bars and cookies left over from the holiday party so I had a little yummy snack along with some hot cocoa. Sorry, I can't resist cookies or lemon bars.
   

same old grind

Things seem to be getting better with Dad. Yesterday he was sitting in a chair and was very awake. He tried to talk but couldn't, and was making faces at all of us. It was very delightful. They are testing him for turberculosis, we should know the results when we come in the visit this morning. We are hoping he doesn't have it, since it sucks. It seems like he's one step forward, two steps back. *sigh*

Wednesday was the same old grind. I went to go see Dad at his new hospital, but his roommate was having dialysis so we couldn't visit. Michelle got pissed at me since I couldn't come back at noon to see him. I had to get up at 5pm to shower and make dinner before working a 12 hour shift that night. She's so selfish. Laying on the guilt trip. Bad enough Cathy and I have no lives.. we work, sleep, and take people to see Dad or run errands, that's it. *sigh*

Thursday was pretty much the same thing. I had worked 12 hours the night before so I was tired, but took the gang to see Dad anyway. I'm glad he was alert and stuff though. Then we went grocery shopping, and stopped at Longs to pick up my moms' prescriptions. I got Turbo a new kittytoy, and picked up some Mudslide mix and Rum.. so tonight I'll have fun. Originally I was supposed to go to a party with Cathy, but Michelle has to work and someone has to be around in case my mom needs something. So I'm staying home and getting drunk, if she needs something I can stumble down the street and help. Haha.

some of my relatives are such dicks

Today I feel like writing in purple. The holidays are upon us, and I am one busy woman.

Monday I got home from work and cleaned my house from top to bottom, then took Mom and Michelle to see Dad. I finally got to go to bed at like 11am and got up at 6pm. Cathy and I then went to Stoneridge. I looked around at Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret, then we went home. I napped for an hour before work. Oh yeah, they moved my dad to a different hospital now. He's now at Kindred Hospital here in San Leandro. It's smaller and more focused on respratory and physical therapy. If he improves in 3-4 weeks he may come home.

Tuesday I hit the gym in the morning and did my cardio. I would have done some strength training but my stomach was hurting since I hadn't eaten in 4 hours.. so I went home and had some Cheerios. Then I took Mom and Michelle to visit Dad once again. I finally went to bed at 11am, and slept all the way to 9pm. WOW. Guess my body needed it. I got up and made some grilled chicken and cooked broccoli/cauliflower and brought it to work with the rest of my food. This morning my Uncle Jim S. said something mean to me. This is why I don't like much of my family. We were talking about losing weight (he's like 6'1" and 250-275), and I said I went to the gym about 2-3 times a week and did cardio/weights. He was like "you need to lay off the cream puffs honey, don't look like it's working for ya." That just really made my day. *sigh*
