Blank

I have been sitting here longer than my time for a Stream of Consciousness post and my mind has been absolutely positively blank.

I think my brain is so overwhelmed with responsibilities and schedules and events and drama that it can’t even properly handle a brain dump.

I’m afraid the exhaustion of it all has wiped my mind clean….or it could be the bottle of wine I drank tonight…lol.

Anyhow, I start my new freelancing position this week, paperwork done and faxed in. Hopefully it will go well. Then I can offically say I have had enough freelancing jobs to =be a true writer…journalist,,,oh whatever the hell we are called….

And my time is up, the 5 minutes since my brain started to function that is :)

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Hodge-podge and Mish-mash

Posted on by

I took a weekend off….I unplugged and it was amazing.

I sent the kids off with Dad to do fun stuff and I wandered around the house doing what I wanted.  I avoided dishes and laundry because I do that all the time and focused on things I loved.

I worked on my daughter’s dresses for my wedding, I watched some new movies we bought, I ate Oreos and finished up my bathroom curtains.

My friends and mother-in-law came to visit.  We laughed and gossiped and truly enjoyed each others’ company.

I booked our honeymoon hotel, we decided on New Orleans! I am so excited because I have never been there and neither has Jason.

It was a great weekend, I feel revived and ready to take the week on!

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Wedding Prep

Posted on by

Started making my bouquets for the wedding last night.  Cutting up my fake hydrangeas and lavendar….deciding that the website where I found my dress had an awesome idea of putting feathers in their bouquets.  Looking at feathers online with one of my best friends….do we choose ostrich, peacock, guinea?

And why is it that events like this sneak up on you? We have had a date picked out for almost 2 years! 2 years and I havem’t done crap! lol  I rushed to get save the date cards out and i have had ages to do it.

Here is the dress inspriation, but I’m not $1200 happy with it so we are making it, me and my friends, because we are crazy or gluttons for punishment or something….

I;m not that skinny so there will be less under the chest space, I think that would not be pretty at all :)

However, I love the airy look and just happened to stumble upon the Peppermint Pretty website duiring a dress search…..sigh….love it….

Anywho…on to appetizers and music selection and wedding party dresses and oh shit, what the hell will the groom wear? grumble, grumble, grrrr……

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: So I gave up smoking….

Posted on by

….but bedrest last pregnancy brought on a new addiction.  Freaking Facebook games! What the hell do they put in these things to make them so damn addictive? They are like mental crack! Mafia Wars, Farmville, Zoo World, Frontierville….agh! They sucked me in when my butt was stuck in bed with no one to talk to for 12 hours day or more.  Now I am finally going to unhook myself from the FB games jaws.

I am removing them, blocking them and going to spend all that valuable time on writing, blogging anf networking. I have been happier in the last few weeks where I have taken my blogging mre seriously. Much happier and I feel validated. There are some of you out there that want to read the crap that falls out of my head. LOL

So with that I am done…bring on a blogging addiction, because I think that might be more healthy than junk food, cigarettes or even mentally dulling facebook games!!!

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: I want chocolate cake!

#SOCsunday

As I watched my soon to be hubby pile two huge pieces of chocolate cake on a plate (sent home by a co-worker), I realized he wasn’t going to make this easy for me. He’s easily fifty pounds lighter than me soaking wet and could ingest theentirety of the McDonald’s menu in one sitting without gaining a pound.

“You don’t even like chocolate cake!” he tells me as I grumble. Its true, I don’t like choclate cake very much. However, I’m on day three of my pre-wedding diet and exercise plan that has my sweet tooth telling me even thyat chocolate cake will do!

It’s bad enough that I am surrounded by Girl Scout cookies. My resolve is just barely strong enough for that! And I am countingthe day until they are all out of my house and those cute little girls on the Peanut Butter Patties box stop calling my name.

That night was rough. Hell that day was rough. Lugging 2 half awake kids to the doctor, sitting and failing at entertaining them in the waiting room. Pause. Am I the only one on the face of the Earth that allows their baby to crawl at the doctor’s office? I mean, i know the floor isn’t clean but does everyone really wzant to hear my son scream for 45 mins while we wait (and I had an appt!) I never see anyone do it, is there a memo I missed about secret kiddie valium that keeps children in their parents laps? Unpause

Then running errands between school drop offs and pickups which is not my usual day. I did even manage to burn a whopping 1100 calories exercising on a day where time was elusive. And then there was the cake. Oh cake……
