What the fuck do you know...

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:59:51 GMT

Just seeing if you are paying attention!
Yes- just trying out some new words I guess... trying to jump-start myself to get busy. Seems I have slowed down this weekend- waking up from a nap- having had a bad dream that some misguided gentleman was searching for something in my spare bedroom which is what I should be cleaning but instead I choose to be a coward and nap...thus having a dream about this man!!!! UUUGH! It was enough to wake me up and set me off on coughing fit. Coughing fits mean anxiety attacks I have learned. Stress coughs! Uuugh! Thomas, being the very attentive husband-bunny recognized this and helped set the ball in motion by taking the Telly-cabinet downstairs to the living room and then take the big spare telly to the new spare bedroom- thus clearing away a lot of cluttered space and helping to get this project underway. Ah! The power of a simple cough and about 12 years of figuring it out.

I found my yellow bra behind the chair in the living room...

Now it is time for some coffee with the Eaton's up at the Bel Air road StarBucks... And another one of my bathroom photos- which I think will hit 1 million views tonight... oh deary me!
MORE in a little bit...

EDIT:
Lovely evening out for coffee:

Sinus Infection!

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:35:27 GMT

Indeed- a nice summer sinus infection... Yay!
Nothing that a few days of antibiotics will not clear... Uuugh.
Today I went back to work (I was home on Tuesday)
Tonight- Thomas decided on Hotdogs at a local little Hotdog place~

I am still working hard on my Atkins
but today was a wee bit of a challenge.
I did manage to eat around the bun! haa!
It is a hidden talent really...
Anyhoo... More later
XoxoS

Indeed... I am.

Sick that is...

I went to work today- just to be sure to spread my germs!?! Haa no- I am not cruel like that- I just thought this thing was a fluke... something which happens as randomly as jury duty...

Either way- it sucks. It is an inconvenience and I am angry about it! (Like I have time to be sick? No! I also don't agree to being sick in the summer- too much heat!)

So with all that being said- I am not going to do what I normally would do and just wait this out. No No! I am smarter than this... I am going to the doctor in the morning and getting some real meds. I am not stupid! I know this to be more than just Jane sitting in a corner eating worms and feeling sorry for herself... this is 100% real bug!
(I know this because I lost my voice tonight... no no jokes please...)

I will keep you posted on things as I get my results back.
Want to take bets as to what I have?
Bronchitis
Strep
Laryngitis
Malaria

Come on- you knowyou want to play!
Pick a sick!

Haaa... Okay-okay... I better get crackin- I need to get to sleep.
My brain is all fuzzy and I am running on empty...

More later.
Nighty night.
zzzzzzzz

SICK?

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 11:25:53 GMT

How could I get sick... in the summer?
I mean I know I work on hospital grounds... see lots of people. Shook the hand of a French researcher. Go out and about touching doors and tables, etc...

But I always thought that I was a completely healthy person. I guess you can't combat all germs. At some point- you are bound to get something which kicks you arse!

So I am going to consider this as a great day to keep my schedule lite. Take one day for just myself and not push too hard to accomplish much. I mean- I do have things to do... but I think I am going to just relax, read some books, drink my theraflu, and stay in today.

I guess I have too- as I do not have time to be sick.

Well- time for me to finish this hot cup of lemon-love! (The Theraflu actually is not so bad!)

And back upstairs to bed. (Uuugh I hate slowing down...)

More later today!

Early Tuesday Morning...

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:35:03 GMT

I set my clock about 20 minutes early to make myself get up early. It will work for a couple of days until I begin to learn to cheat the system. We have decided to keep the laptop computer out of the bedroom and not turn on the television too. All in hopes for a better sleep and well... you know... less distractions more love'in! Haaa... So far? Not bad. Especially the past few days. Lets be real, 12 years of marriage and things can sometimes become too relaxed and so this little change is actually working I think!

I had every intention of painting the ceiling last night. Except last night was Monday and I was so very tired and unmotivated from working at the office. Monday's are always hard. Yesterday was more busy than most. My coworker was out and both the bosses were in and I was catching up on a bunch of emails and stuff. Didn't get much time to really do anything. I ate 3 scrambled eggs around 3:00 in the afternoon for my breakfast-lunch and then just skipped dinner all together. Oh! Don't be too concerned- I did manage to eat some olives, two pieces of cheese, and drink a glass of milk. I am really concentrating on loosing these next 10 pounds and so far it seems to be working- but slowly. I must keep reminding myself that it took 20 some years to put this weight on and that taking it off in a couple of weeks is a lot to expect. Right now? I am stuck at 134. Not bad I suppose. One of the guys upstairs said to me out of know where- if I had lost weight. I will tell you. I was thrilled! It is nice to have someone notice. It happed a few weeks back too when someone in the office who I see once in a blue moon- asked me the same question. Funny thing about that was I was recording it on my little camera while in the throws of a thunderstorm. Nothing like catching a moment like that on video.

So onward I work- staying away from carbs, eating protein, not eating a lot come to think of it. Less is more! Smaller proportions work nicely as well as reading labels for calories and carbs. All of this seems to work. Oh! Don't get me wrong! If I see a strawberry or raspberry I will eat it. Mostly I will take just a bite of the bad things and give the rest to Thomas! Good for me but not so good for him! Haaa! And so one last thing needs to fall into place and that is exercise. I need more exercise. Have not been to the gym since March. (Yes- all the weight has come off through just altering my diet). The only way I see myself getting down to 118 pounds is through exercise. I just need to find a place to fit it in.

Tonight I need to get into the room and finish painting the ceiling and painting the trim. I think tonight. Ha! I mean- I NEED TO FINISH IT- tonight!

Okay then, I better get moving and get myself to work.
More about my life later...

Painting of the spare bedroom...

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 23:50:03 GMT

So I have been working for a few weeks on preparing to switch rooms around here at the Wynn household.
This little house was build in 1947 and have a lot of "charm" shall we say. The walls are a thick plaster and therefore uneven and temperamental. No no- don't get me wrong- I LOVE this... but it can make for some extra work when trying to remove wall paper from the 1960's or adhesive from the full wall mirror from the 1970's. Thomas removed the mirror a few months ago and I got rid of the paper from the wall the other week.

Tonight, I finished sanding the wall where that old stinky paper used to be and cleaned it up. Thomas broke down the rest of the items in the room, like the huge Ikea cabinet which went floor to ceiling. I rolled up the rug and he unhooked the computer. It is now temporarily covered in plastic and I am about to begin to paint. I do hope to have this finished by tomorrow. We shall see...

Earlier today we made a run to the country dump and cleared out an old huger broken mirror from the upstairs storage room. I know- we have had our share of broken mirrors. I can't say the thought of bad luck issues have crossed my mind. I wonder if this will have some weird effect? Haaa... I am going to try to not think about that... The dump was rather easy to navigate this Saturday afternoon. Usually it is very busy. We also got rid of an old mattress and some other weird things which have been taking up SO MUCH SPACE. After the dump we swung by this little Mexican place called Moe's- in Cockeysville. IT WAS SO GOOD! You know- nothing too Earth shattering- just your contemporary Southwest stuff- beans, meat in your choice of flour containers- but me- I had a meat salad. DAMN GOOD salad I may add. Well worth the try. Usually we find places which sort of suck, but this one was good. We then came home and worked a little.

So I am going to get moving to go start painting. Tomorrow it is our early trip to Einstein's in Towson for a break and then back to working in the spare bedroom.

I will upload the photos tomorrow for you to see...
Just wanted to check in and say hello.
More in a few-

HAPPY Friday!
I think I love Friday's MORE than most- because these are my Studio days.
I woke up bright and early... (Well...because the cat snotted me in my mouth and woke me up damn it! haa!) and made a pot of coffee. Took a shower and then got dressed as if I was going to work at the office. I find this is the only way I can really put in %110 and not waste a day.
I watered my plants outside and now I can doing a little blogging and some emailing before I get to work.
Oh- don't get me wrong! I will add in a pinch of fun... I am going to the library to get some books (It has been like 2 years since I have gone! Eeek!) Then I am going to look for these great light-weight summer sweaters which I bought and loved... I hope I can find them again. They are great for evenings.

Then we are going to go out with Mr. and Mrs. Eaton for dinner! YUM!

AND for the rest of the weekend- Thomas and I are going to work on our BIKES! He bought a nifty cruiser and I have a nice simple mountain bike which needs cleaning! We are all set to get back to bike riding again... besides it being healthy and great exercise, it is totally inexpensive! Fun was to spend some time outside without spending a million dollars.

Finally- I will get back to working on rearranging the house and setting up the office upstairs. I am ready to paint the new tiny bedroom too. So my weekend is set...

I think we will round out Sunday with our usual trip to Einstein's in Towson and return to work in the house. If it is not too hot- maybe we will take the scooter.

Ahhhh... weekends!
XxooxX

Ahhh the day has come...

They blocked Xanga from my job...
Uuugh...
So I will have to make sure I update from home more.

(Or quit my job? Haaa!)

You have NO IDEA...

This Place is amazing!

This storm passed us by- but in passing- I rushed out to take this photo.
I truly have a passion for storms...
Up again tomorrow to teach again. Good Food, Fantastic company...
I am truly moved beyond words.
More tomorrow.
