cookies

so i made no-bake cookies tonight
i thought i could take some in to work for my group
then thought I could take some in to JD
then remembered tomorrow is Friday... so it's JD's birthday.

so then i made JD a birthday card
then i went to go put cookies in containers but they are not cool
i want to go to sleep since i have to be at work really early tomorrow

but i'm the type of person that can't fall asleep knowing there is something to be done. sigh
i have a feeling they have hours before they arent' soft.

i put some in a ziplock and put them in the freezer. i hope that doesn't ruin them.

you use ziplocks so when you sneek some frozen ones, you don't end up breaking the container.

anyway so now i have to put the cookies in containers tomorrow morning. and i already have to get to work super early and hate to wake up in the morning. now i have to make sure my alarm is set early enough for me to have time to get ready. and i didn't even change my regualr alarm. so i'm only relying on heart attack alarm. it doesn't have a snooze. this could end up bad.

and it could also end up bad in taht sometimes when i'm afraid i'll sleep in, i don't sleep well the entire night.
we'll see how it goes.

i decided since i email people about all kinds of random stuff but the don't respond that i should just post it all in here. people don't respond here but at least it's all compiled nicely together.

i hope i can remember that i decided this.

pants

last week i got so fed up with my pants not being long enough and not being able to find pants long enough anywhere in stores that I ordered pants from Victoria's Secret

so 2 days ago they were delivered. i was pretty excited. and afraid that i would have picked the wrong size

the "yoga" pants are awesome. they are long. my ankles don't get cold. they fit at the waist and the crotch.  i hope they wash well. if they lose an inch or 2 in the length they will still work because i got 36 inch inseam on all my new pants.
the new black pants, i wore yesterday stretched the entire day.  so they got way too big.  sadness.  they are long enough though.
the khaki pants (i wore today) are nice and long. they fit well and they did not stretch.

so 2 out of 3 isn't bad and the 1 that i don't like i still like better than my other pants.

make my nose stop dropping. that's all i want for now. i can deal with my nose,upper lip, and eyes being super dry later.

so how come PB got me sick and he was only sick for 2 days and I'm on day 5 of being sick?

i went to work wednesday then went to giant eagle on the way home because dave wanted me to and i said i'd just grab a few of the things we really need. i bought the entire list. i'm dead today. sicker than i was. and now my throat is killing me.

so i had bloodwork done at quest. i get separate bills for all the different tests they ran. they cost me stamps and each bill is under 5 bucks.

cancel Amex card

I tried to cancel my blue cash and my blue for students amex cards today. I have my coporate card and my Citi Amex still.

So I call
put in numbers to one of the cards
a choice is cancel card
i say it. it can't hear me or understand me.
i repeat. it still can't understand me.
so then i hit the number associated with canceling a card (you can say "cancel a card or press 4" (or whatever number it was)
and it then takes me to "add a card" not "cancel a card"
and i cant' get out of it right. i can't go back. at other areas it says you can say "go back" and it will take you back.

The 2nd time i called, i didn't say or press the cancel a card and said representative and then hit 0 and i got to one.

then there were all these problems and slowness on their end. I only got 1 card canceled. The guy apologized. the 2nd one wouldn't go through. I have to call back another time. These cards haven't been used in years but i want to get rid of it.

stupid stupid stupid


(i guess i forgot to post this yesterday)

pictures

house pictures

very few uploaded yet. but finished house pictures not halfway built house pictures

dinner

I only ate 20 small cheese raviolis for dinner.
normally i eat 45-55. sad times. i also ate less bread than normal.

well i'm home sick today and my nose won't stop running. i'll probably go through over 1 entire box of kleenxes. i have been searching for vaseline but can't find it. my nose is starting to get raw.

I'm probably getting sick or sick when I go to sleep at 10pm. and if i go to sleep at 10 2 out of 3 nights, i know something is up. i'm just preparing to get sick now.

well and my nose keeps running.

so many things make me mad.

why is it that when i bump a knee it's always my bad knee?

i just swiveled in my chair to get up and really bumped my right knee. i almost knocked over the bookshelf (if it was just free standing, it would have been knocked over)

now our lawn has 3 heights. it got dark too soon.

and i keep grass staining all my pants.

the grass is always wet. today is the first day it didn't rain. it was still wet.

it's too cold in here. we should turn on the heat.

3 thermometers upstairs read 64, 65, and 66. brrr

garage door opener is now installed.
and the garage is in the midst of being organized

i also wiped off the layers of dirt from our front door and porch railing.

all it does is rain. well rain for a few minutes

our grass has been half cut since Sunday.

i just ironed 14 things.

11 more to go (at least)

UPS said they delivered a package but I never got it. They said they left it on the porch.

My mom needs surgery on her knee.


I am finally going to iron. (I didn't say I would iron all my clothes that need to be ironed, but some will get ironed.)

the worst time getting gas today.

the card wouldn't swipe
the pump didn't work

they did charge me the wrong amount too. that was 20 cents under. but more than whatn I lost got sprayed out from the pump. stupid thing.

also our upstairs toilet is clogged. we bought a plunger today but the plunger seems to suck.

lawn mowing is nothing but trouble
it takes too long
also i need to buy a weed wacker. i was going to get one today but felt ready to pass out at sears so we left after we bought the garage door opener and before looking at weedwackers.

i finally made a new icon. I think it's been 2 years.

i was gone from the house for more than 12 hours today.

my legs are going to be sore tomorrow.

never buy a Toshiba Laptop

that is all.

it is not a good idea to watch criminal minds right before bed. i think i've said that before too. i guess i didn't learn. i was in bed trying to fall asleep for over an hour and was scared because of the show I just watched.

I want to watch more TV. I didn't do anything this weekend that I wanted to do. I did some stuff I guess like laundry, yardwork, and carry some stuff upstairs.

i just spent 40 min puling weeds and cleaning up straw and you can't even tell.

i watched lots of TV shows last night. i stayed up until 4:30 am.

My knee really hurt when I woke up.

I have tons of stuff that should get done today but I want to finish watching TV. I should probably make a to do list and finish a few things.

wedding

i have to go to a wedding today. i had to figure out what to wear a little bit ago.

i decided to wear a skirt/shirt since my dresses suck or are summery and then i remembered this one outfit that i wore in summer 2005 that my mom said "it looks like you are going to a wedding" so i had to dig that shirt out. i havent' worn either since. now i have my outfit picked out and i don't have to go shopping.

i would upload a pic but i don't know how to upload to my site from my mac. it's probably really easy. oh i can upload it to my picasa. ehh i'll do that later. no i'll wait until i'm actually ready for the wedding instead of dripping wet hair and upload that pic so i look nice in it.

i have a tripod that is more than a few inches high. now i can take all kinds of pictures.

i have to c lean. but instead i am watching keith. then going to watch the debate. then going to watch post debate coverage.
i got home from work a little bit ago but I ate and it got so late.
