today was so much fun today at work. it shouldn't even be considered work. introduce a girl to engineering day was so much fun. some things were hectick but i think that's what made it fun. it was also fun to meet new westinghouse employees. it seems like they all enjoy their jobs so much.
then i came home from work and cross stitched for 5ish hours. i think i'm halfway done with the horn. i decided i'm going to make an excel file of the string colors i have (by number/brand and then convert to the other brand number) so then that makes shopping easier. i've purchesed the same colors on a few occasions. i'll use it eventually but it's not worth it now. i need to buy other colors that i have 0 of.

i'm a loser
SmilinColleen: i'm getting a headache and grinding my teeth. this happens all the tiem. i get so excited about my money file
KBRedXIII: hahahha
oh only if money information wasn't all personal and stuff, i'd be posting it on the internet. so exciting. it's not done efficiently. i need somethign better to be able to add what column it goes to. i have a differnet column for each category then sum those. there's gotta be a way that i dont' know. there's probably a better program than excel but i always fall back to excel. even microsoft money didn't do all i wanted it to do years ago and now i do more.

dangerous
my new hobby is dangerous. i lost another needle today. i think i'm down two. i've only used 3. now i know why they sell them 10 in a pack. i hope i dont end up stepping on it later.
laon fun
paying extra on my loan (since i started calculating it) has saved me an extra cent a day on interest.
new shirt
i got a new shirt. too bad i can only wear it half a day tomorrow. nobody at work will see it. (well unless they are helping with introduce a girl to engineering day)
penn trafford, gateway, and hempfield are all sending kids. norwin isn't on the list. i think kids from 12 districts are coming tomorrow.
here's my shirt (and it's just like all the Westinghouse employees shirts they are wearing and the shirts the high school girls will be taking home with them)
grrr. jesse's server sucks. i can't get my webpage to load so i can't get the url to link to the pictures. the pictures uploaded fine. i dont get it.
front
closeup of insignia
back (the best part)
argh. i'm just posting this w/o pictures. you will have to return to see the awesome pictures. (i got them to work. but i'm leaving the arghs in here to remind me how mad i was)
and i volunteered to help before knowing i'd get a cool shirt like this. actually when i volunteered we weren't getting shirts. i helped convince that we should get them to wear so the high school girls know who is in charge.

stuff
my bloodwork a few months ago had my cortisol level at 35.3. normal is 4-22
website quote 1: stress hormone cortisol, a chemical released by the human adrenal gland when it is under stress, has now been shown to have a detrimental effect on memory. In addition, this stress hormone may lead to illness and weight gain.
website quote 2: Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:
* Impaired cognitive performance
* Suppressed thyroid function
* Blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia
* Decreased bone density
* Decrease in muscle tissue
* Higher blood pressure
* Lowered immunity and inflammatory responses in the body, as well as other health consequences
* Increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat are heart attacks, strokes, the development of , higher levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health problems!
i saw something on pbs the other day about working out and watching tv isnt' always a good thing. if you are watching the news and you get all riled up that's nto good because it increases your cortisol level. that's what had me looking this stuff up again.
another quote from website 2: Studies have also shown that people who secrete higher levels of cortisol in response to stress also tend to eat more food, and food that is higher in carbohydrates than people who secrete less cortisol.
carbs are my fav.

and another thing
fox news was on one of the tvs at the gym. it got me so fired up. afterwards pb was all fired up complaining about the same things. o man that o'reily factor.
gym
day #2 at the gym. 2.47 miles in 30 min on elliptical.
how do you get those heart rate things to work. the ones where you just hold one ot the metal that are in the normal holding position. my heart rate never goes above the "below" marker and at one point it said 39. it only got up to 98 once when i was killing myself trying ot get my heart rate on that thing up. my chest is tight. i wonder where my inhalers are.
yesterday i did a different preset and did 2.85 mi in 35 min. the last 5 was cooldown.

pictures of the rest
finished santathe finished snowman head that u saw before. ok u bought frames like this years ago. 3 for a buck at the dollar tree. i tried to go back and find them and i coudln't they also had a plastic cover and a better back. if you buy a frame like this at the craft store you get 1 for 1.29. has anyone seen these frames anywhere? (a better pic of the frame is shown in the last photo)
the ifnished snowman that you didn't see before (with the other snowman)
my most recent work of art
i should have probably resized the picture better. it is only about as long as my fingers. and the width of my fingers. i'm not in the dimension guessing mood right now.
more are here
the santa took over 12 hours. the tree took about 2-3 (that was my first one). the candy cane took 3. it was my 2nd one. the snowman was my 3rd. it was harder since my hoop wasn't big enough to get all the edges in it. i made the snowman in the plastic stuff (not cloth) next (no picture) and it was quicker. i also altered the pattern a little.

you know
my new hobby helps me to not be sad about people not posting everyday. i think i went THREE days in a row without even checking. then when i did, i loved it. there were posts. there weren't even that many but enough to make me have fun reading them.
also i'm still obsessed with checking my loans on-line and seeing after payments post. i sent more money that will post tomorrow. this is probably a good addiction to have. then my highest interest rate loan will be paid off in no time. (i haven't started paying off extra on the smaller interest rate ones yet.) pb's interest rates are higher mostly, but his loan websites aren't as fun.

today
i went to joann fabrics today. i saw stuff i bought at pat catan's eysterday and the day before for double what i paid. some things were only 1 cent more or 10 cents more. well to be fair the 1 cent more thing was 28 cents to 29 cents. the thing is joann fabrics had a bigger selection. i wandered around the store a few times and couldnt find the pencils you use to draw on fabric. i was afraid to ask someone, since the fabric lady kept talking to me forever. also pb cooked dinner and i was in a hurry. stupid traffic.
on a side note; the dinner was tortillini. it was supposed to be cheese. it was homemade from the italian bakery that is by miracle mile. but it was meat. i was highy disappointed. so then i made a cheese quesadilla. the chicken and cheese one was better the other day. but that one was cooked on the grill. the grill would be better anyway. but i think the chicken was better anyway.
