Fresh air, fresh outlook 2008-06-17 07:54:00 I am finally having a really good week. Really good. I don't know what has spawned optimism in me but I feel like I am finally on the right track. Whatever track that might be. I guess it is just that I am managing my work better and that the relationship counseling has helped. We go once a week and I am finally starting to feel some peace. We have basically had no major arguments. No Read more:fresh
Don't slack off on having fun 2008-06-14 10:12:00 I have totally been slack
ing lately, not just on blogging, but keeping up with everything. I haven't been dancing lately, I haven't been reading lately, I haven't been playing my PS2, I even haven't been sitting outside with my feet up. I should be ashamed! Having fun should be a priority in life. We should make a point to do fun things! I mean, why not? Seriously, we spend so much time
Am I having a day or what? 2008-06-14 10:07:00 So this morning, I tripped down the stairs, spilled coffee grounds everywhere, put my cat's food bowl in the frig instead of the left over food (and then wondered for 5 minutes why the damned thing keep scratching at my feet), and then tried to log on to blog 3 times and wondered why it wouldn't work...
then realized, I kept typing hineymomma...instead of whineymomma.
Yes, I am a hiney today.
Be consumer aware 2008-06-10 14:00:00 If you are thinking of getting Phentermine without a prescription, make sure you do all your homework first. Diet pills are a tricky thing and it is always good to weigh all of your options and know which ones are effective but most importantly, safe! Remember, a lot of online places would just love to overcharge you for a product and have no reasons to keep safety into check. Be consumer
Go for the best buy 2008-06-09 09:43:00 I hate June! It's Father's Day, it's birthdays, its when all my quarterly bills come flying in...so I really need to get a better handle on my budget. I always have good intentions but I always forget to shop wisely. I know that I should cut the coupons but I just either forget them or am too in a rush to look for the items specifically.
I do have every intention though for the kid's
Hindsight 2008-06-06 08:47:00 So this past week, I had my counselor appointment alone. Now that we have a new one, she is basically starting over with us and recommended that we each have our own separate appointment so that she can really get to know us. The husband has his last week and for some reason he came home glowing. I, on the other hand, came home depressed after my session.
I don't know why but once I started
Veggie garden 2008-06-06 08:41:00 Here's a little snapshot of my veggie garden! The plants are still little but I am hoping for lots of growth soon...I can't wait to start picking my vegetables.
I am dying to make a veggie salad sandwich with a little balsamic vinegar! Read more:Veggie
Putting it all together 2008-06-02 14:06:00 I am so looking forward to this weekend. I am going dancing and I am already picking out my outfit! Yeah, it takes me days.
Being a mom, I am slightly out of style these days...I just don't spend as much time trying to put something together
for myself. I have never been one with knowing how to accessorize. Lately though, I have been eying up getting some new sparkly things. I think even Read more:Putting
Just hot 2008-06-02 13:15:00 This is one of my new favorite actors...Chris Evans from Fantastic Four. All I can say is..."yum" and how I'd like to see his hot bod wearing only a pair of 5.11 Shorts
and perhaps and a cool pair of flip flops. Nothing else.
He is Italian and Irish...me too! Now he's a little younger than me...like 5 years younger but that's okay. He really is such a cutie and I can't believe I ha
Going o'natural 2008-06-02 13:08:00 Lately I have been thinking about becoming a full fledge vegetarian. I am just thinking that I would rather stick to more natural foods. Everything these days seems so processed. I just want to pluck my food off a tree or a bush and eat. I actually started my own garden this year and it is looking good. I can't wait til I really start getting some veggies though big enough to eat though. I Read more:Going
Quick survey for HR executives; win an iPod! 2008-05-29 15:57:00 Are you a HR hospital executive or involved with health care delivery systems? If so, you should definitely check this out. Development Dimensions International (DDI) is offering an opportunity to win an iPod
nano to participants who fill out a brief online survey. I mean come on, a few quick, easy questions and you can win yourself a nice iPod? Sounds good to me.
The survey takes Read more:executives

I slid down a worm hole I think 2008-05-28 20:35:00 It is driving me nuts that everywhere I turn around someone is talking about their Orlando vacations. Seriously, do they not know that I am in dire need of a vacation so hearing about their trips to Disney are just making me ill.
But, all kidding aside, I am just plain old fashioned jealous. I really want to to hang with Mickey and the gang and act like a kid again. I want to wear those big Read more:think
Good vs. Unfortunate Mishaps of Life 2008-05-28 14:17:00 Why is it when we are reflecting on someone or something that is bad, we say, "you gotta take the bad with the good," but when we something or someone is good to us, we never say, "you gotta take the good with the bad?" Is it that whole perception of always assuming things have to go perfectly, that life is supposed to be easy and uncomplicated?
I guess that is just how we l
Vacuum talk 2008-05-25 08:41:00 So my Spring cleaning weekend has officially begun. I am basically doing one room at time rather than going around doing all of this or all of that. At least then it feels like I am accomplishing something. And heck, anything that feels like an accomplishment these days is good. I am walking around like a mope!
I also am cleaning out my vacuum. It's one of those things that we know we have Read more:Vacuum
A dream to ponder 2008-05-25 08:31:00 Last night I had the weirdest dream. Well, I probably have lots of weird dreams but I just happened to wake up right after this one; yeah, the girl was yelling. She used to be so quiet when she woke up, reading books in her crib but now she gets up an hollars, "mom.., mom..., mom!" She keeps repeating it til I get to her. Drives me nuts!
Anyway, so my dream was about a hotel. Well,
Starting over 2008-05-25 08:23:00 So turns out because my hubby has new insurance and our counselor doesn't participate in that plan, we have to get a new counselor. Yeah, great. Just what I wanted to do. I mean we just started really building up something with her. She is really good too, at least I think she has made quite an influence. So to start this whole process over with someone else is just a bummer. Now we are
Waiting for the day 2008-05-22 12:39:00 I am such an ocean lover. I could just sit and look at the ocean...forever. The waves could lull me to sleep, the smell of salt air feels healing. I dig my feet into the sand and just lay back in the sun. OMG, who's shaking me? Thanks, kid. Can't a girl dream? Seriously, if that's all I got going for me right now then let me have it. Okay, maybe there will be a day in my future when I can Read more:Waiting
Another whiny post by me 2008-05-22 12:30:00 Here they come, the baby showers, graduation parties, summer birthdays (yeah, we got a lot of em'). I seriously feel like throwing my budget out the window. It is just so hard to stay within my limits anymore. I don't know how people do it. I figure though that one month might be tough so then I will make it up the next month but then the next month gets crazy too. It's not like I'm in debt
Funny video 2008-05-22 12:21:00 A rat on a cat on a dog? OMG, this is the funniest video
I have seen in awhile.
This guy is NUTS (although he does make a few good points).

Golf equipment 2008-05-19 13:33:00 I was talking with some friends the other day who love to golf, and I mean real golf, not that little mini-golfing bizness. They know so much about it. And they have all the right gear. I, on the other hand, can't tell you much about golf and don't own a stitch of golf gear. I have checked into a few brands like Callaway irons, King Cobra and Taylor Made. So many choices, so much to know.
The overactive one 2008-05-19 13:19:00 Dealing with an overactive child can just downright exhaust you. Try and try as you might, they can test every little spec of patience that you have.
I found some really great tips that I think I am going to give a try.
1. Establish a routine. I literally sat down to figure out a planned schedule. My goal it to follow it as much as I can but not be too strict in that I cause more grief
He's got a baby on the way 2008-05-14 13:11:00 One of my closest guy friends is having his first baby. It is so funny to talk to guys about burp clothes and baby cribs. It's like they have no friggin clue. I asked him if they were going to use cloth or regular diapers and he's like, "what the heck to you mean, aren't all diapers made of cloth?" Yeah, Jay, you really are into the eco-friendly stuff aren't ya.
He seems to be most
Yes, we can whine about our husbands, thank you! 2008-05-14 12:58:00 So today I am at the park with a group of other mommy friends and one, whom I am pretty close to, starts telling me about how her hubby has been a real pain in the ass lately. I can sympathize, as you all know....so we start talking about it and then I end with saying, "all men are jerks." Now, I know some men are not jerks but I was making a general statement to make her feel like she
Skin check 2008-05-14 12:52:00 Now that the sun is getting stronger and we are outside more, I have to really start taking care of my face better. I am so bad with remembering the darned sun tan lotion. I bought these cool chap stick kind last year but I have yet to find them for this year. They are so small they fit in your pocket. I don't know if the sweat and oils are causing more pimples but I thinking about getting
How dirty are your hands? 2008-06-18 08:47:00 I remember when I worked in a college biology lab and we once did an experiment where we asked several students to wash their hands and then wipe them on a petri dish. We also had several students who had not wash their hands wipe on them as well. We incubated the plates overnight and took a look the next day.
What did we find? Yuck, yuck and more yuck. Tons of bacteria, yeast and who knows Read more:dirty
Diet please! 2008-06-29 20:07:00 Yes, so I have been eating like a pig lately. Not literally...ya know, I am totally not a mud fan but I just feel like I have been stuffing everything in sight in my face. Cookies, ice cream, hot dogs (ewww, too many pig references), bagels, cheese, ice cream, funnel cake...did I say ice cream?
Okay, so tomorrow, I promise myself to do 30 minutes of speed walking, 20 minutes of high cardio
What I need... 2008-06-29 20:00:00 A few things I really need:
1. a new haircut, dye job, heck a whole new head of hair (split ends are almost to China)
2. a better job; possibly in horticulture or wine tasting, you know, something less stressful
3. a nice new clear salad bowl, my sister stole my good one--jerkie
4. a new faucet in my kitchen, the damn thing has been leaking for weeks
5. a massage; preferably Swedish, performed
Just cause I was hungry 2008-06-27 08:22:00 Pretzels with cream cheese in the middle
Celery with cream cheese
Carrots dipped in cream cheese
Strawberries
Pineapples
And wine of course....
