gram had surgery yesterday. the doctor said she is doing alright. her mind isn't with it and she kept not knowing she was in the hospital. she was also getting so worked up about having ot feed my aunt's dog. she wouldn't listen to us to not worry about it.

i hate how i'm so tired all the time.
i hate how myspace takes entirely too long to load.

i had another training today with the Sarah from norwin. i went and talked to her for like 10 minutes on one of our breaks.

i spent like 350 bucks today on my car. inspection, oil change, and stuff with the brakes. i don't think my car likes being driven rarely and when it's driven it only drives for 3 minutes.

today

i did laundry this morning. i went through some old clothes (but not all of the clothes from the den closet). i cut Dave's hair. I used to george foreman to make chicken. i also made parsley red potaotes and corn. then i ate chips with dip. then i went to aunt elaine's and visited gram and them. i ate some there too. not as much as normal.

clothes

i was going through some clothes in the den closet and found light blue express pants. they don't fit as nicely in the waist but the hips and thighs are perfect. they are almost too big in the waist. and by waist i mean at my hip bones. i like pants that low. my gut can just go right over them. i also found other pants from high school. they fit but go too high on my waist so instead of moving them yet another time (since i haven't worn them since high school), i'm going to give them to goodwill.

sigh

i've been slacking at making a post daily.
i've also been slacking at remembering to weigh myself.
then when i do remember i forget to write it down and it never makes it to the graph. i
today iw eighed 125.6. i didn't put it on the graph yet though.

Saturday

we went to the homeshow in monroeville this morning. i'd say it was mostly not worth it. we got some pamphlets and some pricing on stamped concrete and some info on retaining walls. that's about it. i thought it'd have more stuff. it cost money to get in. perhaps if we already had our house it would have been more interesting. i did learn that we should upgrade our windows. they had different vinyl floor examples but i didn't feel like looking. i do know they have some nice ones. then we toured a windsor. it only has drywall. she'll call us again when it has cabinets in it. it's so much nicer than i thought. it was a mirror image of the floor plan. it was cold in there that it was rough looking. i wish we'd get a list of all hte extras and all the prices and work from there. we keep seeing or learnign about additional extras and then our job of what to pick is much harder, but i'd hate to learn later that there was more out there that we didn't even realize.

between the home show and the tour, we went to springfield grill. it was fancier than i expected. i liked my chicken ceasar salad.

after the windsor tour we toured the model in that plan. the Oxford was amazing. the upstairs was awesome. and by upstairs i mean the floor furthest up. there was a floor above the main floor and then a floor above that.

after the model we came back here and watced CNN. My parents were here and watching the election results with us. they left around 9:30PM.

Dave needs to figure out why he cant' print from his computer anymore. it prints nonsense letters and numbers and characters. he had a name for this but i forget.

I learned on friday about a discount Westinghouse offers about 1.5% off the base price for heartland homes. we can use that, but we can only use 2 discounts. so right now we're using two but if one is not as good as 1.5% off then we'll switch to the 1.5% off. they should let us do both though :(

random stuff

how come when you move you just lose stuff?

so this morning before my shower i ended up noticing myself in the mirror. man i'm skinny. there's like nothing to my legs. my ribs stick out.

last night at ice skating i ate 3 full plates of food and then 6 cookies. i think i was hungry. my gut got very big after that. we didn't actually skate. we helped the people in charge.

i'm hungry. i don't know what to wear ice skating. i don't think i'll actually do much skating.

dave's back.

the house was perfectly neat for him. it was a huge surprise. he loved it.

i've been left out of the loop for 2 months! i'm supposed to be updated. just remember that.

i'm always so tired. i sleep a lot. i'm kind of not liking this writers strike at all. i want to have TV on.

i almost worked 9 hours today. but i didn't almost get 9 hours worth of work done. it was a long day.

i bought new jeans today. they didn't have the light ones that i wanted so i got medium ones. they'll fade into light ones in no time.

i'm so tired. i feel like it's bedtime

i used the remote for my mac about music for the first time today. i was so confused. but i did get the music on

i spent the evening (well most of the day) with my parents. pb left this morning. he won't arrive in Sweden for a few hours yet.

i found my missing pictures from july and august for my calendar site. they were on my laptop.

i updated my calendar site but i haven't fully updated it. i still have to add the pictures of me that i took when i was somewhere so they are filed with that event.

i went to the dentist today. i brought some wedding pictures. i saw my dad's cousin. every time i go there i see someone i know.

i got the reaction i expected but not the reaction i was hoping for about my afghan. tons of people thought it was awesome but the mom to be didn't seem to like it.

i finished the afghan. it's not as long as i wanted. oh well. i guess it's good. it's too rectangle. if it wasnt' as wide then it'd look nicer.

dreams

this morning (between hitting snooze) i had a dream about picking out my clothes and getting ready for work. so when i woke up getting ready was easy. i just wore what i already picked out.

2 nights ago i had a dream. it was more like a nightmare. i had 2 weddings to go to in 1 day. and they were back to back. well my camera batteries were dead and i couldn't take any pictures at either wedding. it was so upsetting.

afghan is 30x40 currently.

all i did was watch CNN tonight.

oi

i stayed up too late last night. i went to bed at 4:30 but couldn't even fall asleep until after 5:15. the last i remember seeing the clock was 5:18. then the alarm went off at 7:15. now i normally hit snooze and fall back to sleep. today i did not fall back to sleep.

another thing updated!

http://colleen.akwire.net/_clothes/ - roughly 90% updated since Nov. there are still pictures on my camera and there are also pictures that have me in them on certain days that i need to crop down.

i can't believe how long i've been sitting here in my robe. i should get dressed. i just printed my to do list for the day.

i started using my picasa gallery again. well except that now i actually use the one for the e-mail address that i currently use.

i also updated my weight graph

it was not a good idea to take a shower before eating.

also i had to dig for my inhalers today.

i had to stop after 18 min on the treadmill today because i got lightheaded.

i seem to be addicted to watching CNN lately

i'm almost 2/3 of the way done with the afghan. the second skein is almost done. i couldn't stay awake last night to just finish it.

a three day week was pretty nice at work.

my 20 minute nap turned into a 3 hour nap
