happy halloween

i didn't do anytihing on my to do list except give out halloween candy.

then on the news they talked to some pediatrician and she said kids should only have 1 piece of halloween candy every other day. and she was talking like that's a lot and that's if you want to get them fat.

lab reports

well you know how when you write a lab report and you're on the results section and after liek 3 hours you hate it. and you just want to quit. well imagine doing that 8 hours 2 days in a row at work. results section is 40 pages long w/ . also that it's hard work and you're totally confused. the more you look at it the more confused you are. it makes the day so tiring. ugh

fun

Source

i just cross stitched a christmas tree ornament for my tree (that i don't have yet). i went out and bought supplies. i need to get more. i still need to buy fabric to make my werath. this cross stitch job is plastic. i know you can do fabric ones but i'm not sure how to end those. well i wasn't sure how to do w/ the plasitc but it's plastic so it won't fray. maybe i should read directions.

oh how easy it is to get up with an alarm w/o hitting snooze 7 times when it's daylight outside.

clothes

today after i was awake about 4 hours i started to get dressed. i put on a shirt but left on my sleeping pants. then a few hours later i decided i was going ot the gym and put on gym clothes. then i got home and ate and then showered and put on pajamas. yes it's not even 5pm and i'm in my pjs. these pjs are real clothes for some people but not me.

i'm up

i didn't sleep til noon today. i didn't even sleep until what noon would have been if the clockes werent' changed. go me. i actually only changed some of the clocks in the house so far.

headaches

background info: from as early as i can remember utnil i went ot college i only got 3 headaches (i can tell you about them if you want). in college i got a few more. sophomore year i even had one that lasted about 2 weeks.

now everyday for the past week i've had a headache. i quit taking medicine for them. what is causing my headaches? sometimes in teh past week it's been what i thought might be a sinus headeache (right at my forhead) and now it's higher than that that hurts.

well

the test is over. 8 hours of fun. the pm part was much harder. i didn't know how to do the thermal or heat transfer ones. maybe i'm in teh wrong profession. pb couldn't do them either. the rest were ok. the morning part was so much more fun but i ran out of time.

FE exam tomorrow

i did some reviewing. all the stuff dealing w/ my major i had trouble with and had to look up the equations. when i got to the chemistry section, i got 90% of them w/o even having to look up an equation. i even remember molecular weights of different elements. i swear all the questions dealing w/ my major seem harder for me since i'm used to problems that take a half hr vs 2 minutes and so i dont have the simple equations memorized as much.

i took a half day vacation to come home and study. i ended up staying at work an extra 45 min . then i came home and showered. i think i might nap now. maybe i should eat lunch first. i'm a fatty but i should still eat. normally i eat at work but i didnt want to take a lunch and then have to stay 30 more min (even tho i did anyway). rick says i don't need to study/review. he says dave has the right idea. he doesnt know how stupid i really am though.

i'm home

the flight back wasn't so bad. the hardford airport sucks.

i can't believe how often the power goes out in our townhouse.

business trip

i'm in CT now.
that flight was the worst ever. my ears killed me. the last half hour or so were the worst. it took about 20 min after i got off the plane for my ears to get back to normal.
the plane was so small. i had 3 seats across. the aisle was not wide enough for 2 people to pass. it was funny watchign a guy walk to the bathroom and then someone being in it so they both have to back up ot one of their seats in order for the other guy to go buy. the seats were sos mall they looked like miniature seats. the flight was also quit bumpy at the landing. everyone was talking about how it was the worst flight they've been on (the landing was). i've only flown 4 other times so i dindt have much to compare to but some of these guys are in their forties and have traveled a lot.

oi

i've realized i dont' exactly remember how to do engineering problems. they are so familiar but i dont remember how to do them. now it's me being scared time.

tomorrow evening i will be on a plane to connecticut then do work stuff. then all day thursday (about 9 hours) i will be at training then spend about 5 or 6 hours doring the whole airport and flying back thing. then it will be bed time. i guess dinner will have to be in there. then friday i work. then saturday i have my FE exam. i need better self discipline. oh plus my project at work is behind so i have to work extra.

just curious

has anyone been invited to a wedding that they barely knew the person or didn't want to go but felt some obligation. they either went anyway or thought they had to give a gift since they were invited?

i had a coworker that complained she was invited to a wedding of her old roommate and that she didnt want ot go but since she had to get a gift anyway she might as well go for the free booze. do most people feel if they were invited to a wedding that they have to give a gift?

exciting

man i can't wait until tomorrow. another loan payment posts.

i've got to be the biggest loser ever. i wish i had more things that i could check the status of. i hope when i get my next RPI loan bill that they tell me how to check it online. at least when i can finally check that one it iwll be like christmas.

nightmares

csi is going to give me nightmares. a rat just crawled out of this dead woman's mouth.

I have not read the Tribune Review one yet. I'm about to.

food

2 nights in a row we cooked a real meal with multiple food groups involved. i still have 3/4 of my chicken breast left from tonights dinner. iw ould take it to work to eat but i dont' want ot have to deal with the hastel of taking it off the bone. i'm too messy and take too long to eat.

CSI

this CSI episode is going to give me nightmares. also it was goign to me my last episode of the night. i'd definitely have nightmares over it then. i might be forced to watch another one now. i've watched about 4 in a row so far.

me = nerd

i'm so hopped up from exciement. the excitement is my new money file. i have ti add up all the food stuff and all the loan stuff (etc) and then put it in a new sheet in comparison to what i have in my budget. it needs some revamping since my budget is only 1 month worth but some bills are only every 3 months. on mine i have it divided by 3. maybe i'll make 3 month comparisons. also because you can go shopping right at the end of the month and it makes it seem like you spent more in that month and then less in the following month.

maybe i'll also add a pie chart of how my money gets spent. ooo that's what i'll do now. o man the excitment. i can't even sit still.
