Damn those 100 calorie packs!

Ok so last night I was doing a little bit of shopping at Target. I was looking for some snacks to have at work. I came to the 100 calorie pack choices and I decided to try the mini blueberry muffins. I had never bought these before so I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if there were going to taste good, maybe they had less calories or were the quanties just less. I took a chance and brought one of the mini blueberry packs w/ me to work this morning. I barely ate anything yesterday ( I will explain why in another blog story I have for you ) so I riped open the pack about 5 mins of being at work. And after I open it I see that there are TWO mini muffins.... WTF! That is 100 calories! I ate them (there were quite good actually) and then was left w/ wanting more. I think the whole 8 pack box I bought is equalivant to one whole muffin. And damn it I'm still hungry!

I'm so proud of you!

Hey Jenne, I just wanted to let you know that I'm so proud of you for going out and getting your dream job!!! I heard from mom that your first day was great and that you are going to have your own patient tonight! Good luck!

Damn they figured me out!!!

So it has finally happened.... My bosses have somehow figured out that I'm not as busy as I pretend to be b/c they have given me more accounts to work on. Those bastards. Luckily for me I'm pretty fast at getting them done so I can still continue to do my email, blogging and just doing nothing!!! Life is good!

Baby it's cold outside

So this past weekend has been the coldest weekend so far and I'm hoping that we don't have anymore like it...

I ended up having a wonderful weekend (for the most part, I'll explain the not so great part a little later). Friday I visited Patty b/c she is not very mobile after having her foot surgery. Chris came over a little bit later and we ate, laughed and watched TV. Oh and I pulled out all of our old High School pics and they were so funny to look at. I wanted to burn about 99% of them but still quite funny. Saturday I had a busy day. I had to take in Biscuit for an 8:30 vet appointment to see what was wrong w/ him. I felt so bad b/c he got a full physical but it turns out that Biscuit is only constipated. YAY! Now I just have to find food that he will eat that has more fiber in it! I then went shopping, cleaned the house (I even swiffered the floor), and I baked a cake. Later that night I met up w/ my friends and we went to Mac Grill for dinner and then went back to my house to watch my friend Karie's wedding video. I love wedding so it was so much fun watching it. Although now that I have watched my self dance I now see that I make way too many funny faces. I think I might get way too into my dancing. I might need to refrain from going that. Well as my friends and I were watching the video my neighbor was playing his music very loudly. It was kinda annoying b/c it had sounded like the same song going on for like 3 hours. My friends left a little bit after midnight and the music just kept on going. Finally at 1:23 it stopped!! I was so pissed at this point, I so wanted to call the cops on him (man I feel old) b/c I was tired and couldn't sleep w/ all that noise. So the next morning it started all over again. This time there was singing along w/ the music. OMG!! The little light in my head is going on... He is having band practice at his house. GREAT!!! I wonder how ofter this will take place! Anyways on Sunday I was able to get a lot of my book read so I was happy b/c I was able to be lazy and read! I need more weekends like that.

The Biscuit

Ok so I have a cat named Biscuit aka The Biscuit aka baby love (yeah I so stole that nickname from the TV show 'Girls Next Door') and I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow morning. It seems that he is having some issues depositing his goal into the litter box b/c he has this terrible cry! I'm thinking that he is constipated or at least hoping that is his issue and it isn't anything majorly wrong w/ him. I'm such a bad mommy too b/c I'm taking him outside on the coldest day of the year!!! Anyways so wish us luck that The Biscuit will be ok!

What's wrong w/ people.....

Ok I'm going to be venting about my job. I just can't stand this place this week. I don't want to sound mean but I work w/ the stupidest people around. There is this customer that I work w/ and my contact there is only working w/ about two brain cells. It is pretty sad that I take her job more seriously then she does. And it stresses me out that she can't even do the simplest thing. OMG! Anyways I have finally gotten today the things that I needed from her (I have been asking for this stuff for over a week) and my stress level is slowly going down! I think my blood pressure is almost normal and the hives are fading! I'm just waiting for her to drop the next bomb though. Damn I hate Thursdays!

Random Fact and I'm Bored

My first name is the 66th most common name in the whole USA!

I'm so the favorite aunt

I babysat for 3 of my nieces and nephews on Friday. It went really well. The kids were so well behaved for an 8, 6, and 4 year old. They showed me all of there Christmas gifts and then we decided to watch SpongeBob SquarePants the movie (which was actually pretty funny) ate way too much popcorn and then I helped them set up for the slumber party they were going to have in the oldest room. Yesterday my sister in law called to chat and the middle niece asked to talk to me just to say hi. I'm so there favorite aunt now!!!

An amazing thing has happened to me.

Well not really but I just wanted to share that I brought a diet coke w/ me to work this morning b/c I was out of my regular coke (which is my form of coffee) and I liked the diet coke. I have in the past months been slowly making a change over to diet pop. It all started w/ diet root beer. It is wonderful b/c it tastes almost the same as the real thing. Then the switch to diet Dr. Pepper was added. A little bit different but still good. I had always hated diet coke w/ a passion. It was the nastiest thing to me but today there was a break though. Now maybe I can truly make the switch over to diet!!

Ice Skating!

I went ice skating this weekend. I friend is having foot surgery today so we wanted to do something fun over the weekend. OMG I'm in so much pain today (two days after mind you) . I didn't fall or anything, which is why this is funny, but yesterday my ankle was hurting me, it was even swollen a little bit. Today My hip and shin hurt on top of my ankle still hurting... OMG I really am getting old!

Please come stalk me.... is what it says on my forehead!

Ok so I have a somewhat stalker again.... yes for some reason I get these strange guys who do some strange things. Most of my stories are good but I'm going to talk about my current stalker. His name is Kurt and until Friday I really didn't know much about him besides that he somehow knew my boss and that he liked rock music. Anyways I will start from the beginning.


One day I answered the phone at work. It was someone (Kurt) asking for my boss Dave. Well before I could transfer him to Dave, Kurt just started asking me questions. I was very stand offish to him but he just kept on asking. He did also get my name. The next day he called again. I knew just from his voice who he was (although at the time I didn't know his name) and he called and told me a joke. He said that he would call me everyday and tell me one. And he did for about a week and let me add that I still wasn't friendly on the phone w/ him. But he did say maybe you should give me your email so that way I don't have to bother you at work by me calling all the time. I give it to him thinking that my torture would end. I just wouldn't email back and he would get the hint. Well that didn't work. He called me to tell me that I wasn't emailing him.... GREAT! Now I had to email him. Which I kinda did. But this time I had told my direct boss and that I thought it was strange. Dave mentioned him to me so I knew that Kurt had mentioned me to him... GROSS!! Anyways Dave and Sally were laughing about the whole issue so I didn't worry about it too much.


He then a few days after asked me what kind of music I like. He then told me he was going to make me a mix CD. Ok who does that. Thinking that he was kidding I totally forgot about it. When I came back from Christmas I had an emailing from him asking if I got the CD yet. I said no but he had sent it w/ a runner and right at 3:00 that day guess what I got. A mix CD!!! Ok hold back the laughing... This is what he wrote on the package "Hi M, CD as promised. It's not hard, hard rock. Am going easy on you this time. Next one will shake the earth!! Kurt" Ok really hold back the laughing... I'm not even at the best part yet. Before NYE he send me the corniest email ever. I wished that I saved it. Ok so I thought that after the new year I was in the clear. I hadn't heard from him. I still haven't but on Friday my boss walks up to me and says 'What's w/ Kurt?' I said I don't know he's your friend! Then I got the 411 from Dave. He used to work for Dave about 15 years ago. He was married and had like 7 kids. He also never showed up for work and then his drug dealers started calling work!!! OMG! Anyways he is now telling Dave that his life is back together and that Dave needs to put in a good word for him to me!!! Seriously how do this losers find me!!!!!

His name is?

So everyday at work this guy comes in three times a day to drop off and pick up stuff. We call them runners b/c they go to local businesses that we need to get documents or money too. Anyways he is sorta new and kinda cute. But he also has this vibe that he is just a really cool guy. Kinda like a Lenny Kravitz kind of vibe. He just seems like he would be totally cool to be friends w/. His voice is really deep and nice too like he could be a singer or something. So for the past few days I have been trying to guess what his name was. It had to be something totally manly. This morning a co-worker asked him what his name was.... it's Glenn. I was so disappointed by that... I think his cool factor dropped a few points. Although he is still way cooler then most of us so it's ok.

One Thing I Wish I Could Change About Me

Ok so lately I totally suffer from OCD! And it DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! It is only w/ certain things too. Every night I have to check to make sure that all the doors are locked about 2 times. The reason that I usually make the second trip of checking the locks is because I will think to myself, "Did I just lock the doors or did I just think about it but I never did it." I also check to make sure that my alarm clock is set like a million times. I in the past have slept through it or forgot to set it and have been late to work. I'm SO paranoid that that could happen again that I set my alarm clock on my night stand AND I also set the alarm on my cell phone! And lastly at work mostly on Fridays I double and sometimes triple check all of my files and things that I have done for the day just to make sure that I did everything that needed to be done. I'm so paranoid that I will mess up and make a mistake. Man it drives me nuts. I find that the more stressed out I am the more I feel the need to check myself... I'm rereading this and thinking to myself that maybe I need medication for this :)

It finally hit me

Last night I was watching a TV show (I'm not going to mention which one b/c you would laugh) and it got me thinking about when I started to get unhappy w/ my life. It was right before I finished college. My whole life before that time was all planned out for the most part. I went to school and had a part time job once I got old enough to work. Once the reality came to me that I was going to have to start making decisions for myself on what I wanted my life to be I think I started to fall apart a little bit. To this day I hate having to make decisions on my life. I think that I hate it so much that I usually avoid doing it. I wish that I could have someone tell me what I need to do and then I would do it. I guess the good part about this is that I am finally realizing this about me.

Good Advise to live by...

I read this in another blog but I need to start doing this!

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."

So, my friend, why not take a while to just simply RELAX. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.

Life is short.

Enjoy it!

The Proposal

When I was 14 years old I drove w/ my parents out to Quantico, VA. My brother Jr was having his graduation from Office Training school w/ the Marines. Well before the ceremony he told me to go out on the lawn after the ceremony was over b/c there was going to be something special happening. Afterwards I walked out there w/ my parents and we saw Jr standing next to some girl talking to her and keeping her occupied. From behind them I saw a group of about 25 marines walking in formation (so it was 5 rows of guys w/ 5 guys in each row) towards my brother and this girl. They walked past them turned to the left walked a little bit more then made another left turn and were now facing my bro and the girl. One of the marines commanded something and all 24 guys dropped to one knee. The guy in the center was left standing w/ a red rose. It was the girls boyfriend. Someone else commanded something else and the boyfriend walked up to the girl. At that time another marine walked up placed a pillow in front of him and he then bend down on one knee and asked her to marry him. It was the most romantic way to be asked to marry someone. I couldn't even hear what the guy said but the show did it for me. Now do you see why I loves the marines so much :) I then found out that the whole idea was my brothers... Oh what a softy!
