#4 Slated for Tomorrow

Trying to stick to my to do list, I made an appointment with the doctor for tomorrow to work on several things:

1. BP meds
2. Redo the bloodwork for my thyroid
3. Tell her I quit dating Zac and see if she'll fix me up with Lex.

As bad as I feel I still look damn good (better)(not dead) wearing my new make up.

WE’RE NOT LAST!

Living up to our motto, Frederick Flair once again did not come in last. As a matter of fact we came in the Top Ten in the East. Alright, alright, so there were only 11 teams and we were #10. But hey, it just sounds better the other way right?

The weekend was great if not effing FREEZING. Had a great team roommate, her workaholism puts me to shame! Thanks Sharon for making me look so laid back. We had a great clean skate, you couldn’t ask for more.

Janet drove down and chauffered my ass around, took me malling – we had to get our traditional walk in – and made be buy girlie stuff. I am now the proud owner of makeup. Yeah yeah I know. I’m even wearing it to my totally glamorous (NOT) job right now. Then she did said makeup for me before the performance. Thankee Spankee.

Then we met up Deb & Laura and had a wonderful dinner Saturday night. Sunday it was off to Foxwood Casino where I promptly blew whatever money I owned. Lost big time. Even though I rubbed, pounded and almost busted Janet’s head for luck. But we all had a great visit ending with promises to spend Cherry Blossom Time in DC for our next gathering.

But even losing large amount of cash beat having to stay at that damned (literally) hotel another night. Nuff said.

So back home to find Chief had been indulging in his favorite outdoor habit, rolling in slime/sh*t. Had a blast washing down the big bear through bleary eyes that should have been sleeping. Good dog. Bah. Anyone want a bear rug?

St. Chloe was her usual darling self. (Meaning: I haven’t found yet what damage she’s caused).

Okay, work today, back to dullsville.

Thirteen Things about Skating1. I love the friends I've made.
2. I love my friends outside of skating enjoy it with me and support me.
3. I get to go places, ok,ok,ok, so Providence isn't all that exciting but it's close to my friend.
4. I finally sprang for it and got custom skates which are great.
5. I'm not naturally talented but it fulfills my need to challenge myself (trust me, I look very challenged out there, lol)
6. I am lucky enough to be able to teach both young kids and adults to skate, they're so much fun.
7. The costumes are definitely not cool though, they're downright COLD.
8. Speaking of cold, it covers up the hot flashes wonderfully.
9. Nonskaters are so easily impressed, lol.
10. The bling is cool when you win.
11. Overnights on travel are like a giant pajama party.
12. Everyone overeats afterwards, I can hide in the crowd.
13. It's not work.

Color Quiz

Free personality analysis of M.E..Generated on Tue Jan 23 12:56:39 2007.

M.E.'s Existing Situation
Insecure. Seeks roots, stability, emotional security, and an environment providing greater ease and fewer problems, but is either unwilling or unable to exert the effort. oh lawdy that's me
M.E.'s Stress Sources
An existing situation is unsatisfactory but she feels unable to change it without cooperation; the need for understanding, for affectionate give-and-take remains unfulfilled. This not only depresses her but makes her irritable and impatient, producing restlessness and the urge to get away from the situation, either actually or, at least, mentally. Ability to concentrate may suffer. what's your name again?
M.E.'s Restrained Characteristics
Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left her listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied him. Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation. love meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
M.E.'s Desired Objective
Seeks the determination and elasticity of will necessary to establish herself and to make herself independent despite the difficulties of her situation. Wants to overcome opposition and achieve recognition. bull-headed much?
M.E.'s Actual Problem
Anxiety and restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional requirements, have produced stress. She tries to escape from these by denying their existence, concealing her dissatisfaction behind a proud but illusory claim to self-sufficiency and independence. I'm fine, really
M.E.'s Actual Problem #2
Works to strengthen her position and bolster her self-esteem by examining her own accomplishments (and those of others) with critical appraisal and scientific discrimination. Insists on having things clear-cut and unequivocal. I'll disagree here.

Terrible Tuesdays

Gee everyone has a game for each day of the week. Since I'm the crabbiest kid on the block I thought of Terrible Tuesdays. Name 5 things that ticked you off last week.
1. Never ever use the restroom after a vegetarian.
2. People who never look behind themselves going through a door so it slams in your face.
3. Mom mispronouncing words on purpose I swear.
4. Drivers from Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
5. The scale has not moved one single ounce.

#3

In progress, started with the patches on Saturday.

Weekend Wrap Up

Friday
Took a mental health day and filled it with physical pain. See post below.

Saturday
Taught classes from 9:30-11 then back home to peel the silk long johns off my tattoo, hurt much? Hell yeah! Then installed a new door sweep on the front door, that works beautiful but the doorknob sucks and it kept falling off all weekend providing endless hilarity at the door opener's expense. Kurt and Jen came for a quick visit, awesome pics of Russia. Apparently Kurt has become diva extraordinaire as every radio interview he went to they had a beer on the table waiting for him. I love the pic of his poster too (which I promise to try and get a copy of) where it says "very special guest". He lost weight and gained hair. He now has a full moustache and goatee, very weird. Jen was just as delightful as the first time we met. I hope hope hope this is the one, damn she's funny AND smart AND good looking. Kurt thinks so too. Enough of the vapid arm pieces already. He took us all (Grandma and Aunt Debra included) out to Red Lobster, stop groaning, we love that place, for dinner, then off I ran back to the rink for practice for 1.5 hours, ugh. Then the kids met up with me and we visited Aunt Deb and I tasted Amaretto for the first time. Not too bad but I had a Chambourd and ginger ale which is my grown up Shirley Temple.

Sunday
All too short a time with the kids (can you call 28 yr olds kids?). Breakfast then some reminiscing time as we went through the last of Dan's things for Kurt to go through. Then off we went to IKEA. I broke my IKEA cherry! What a place, it's HUGE. Bought the kids a kitchen table and chairs, a computer room chair, various kitchen items. We had lunch (not recommended although the meatballs weren't all that bad). Then time to say goodbye as the IKEA was on their way home. Sniffle. We had our first snow, a whopping 1 inch. Keerist, even Lou was bigger than that. It was Chloe's first snow and she just had a ball going in and out all dang night to play in it.

1. and done

Isn't she beautiful? The artist's favorite part was the fiery boobs! My favorite part is her arms, there's a story there about the bands on her arms. I lost an eagle dancer charm that my husband gave me before we were married and we always loved the detail of the wings being held onto the arms by the two bands. Don't you just love me now as a blonde? lol. She's a phoenix rising from the flames. Lots and loads of meaning to it. Just one favor please, ignore the cottage cheese thigh.

Janet's Friday Fill Ins

1. My sons, family, friends and two dogs Chief and Chloe mean the world to me.
2. Books are better than TV anyday.
3. When I shop, it's because I'm filling a void.
4. If I want a snack, I usually reach for peanut butter!
5. The most recent movie I saw, Lady in the Water made me yawn I really thought it was rather childish.

Thirteen Things about My Hair 1. It's finally a good length. 2. The color is still wrong. 3. I straighten it daily. 4. It's a curly triangle when I don't. 5. I love hair pieces and wigs. 6. From behind it makes me look younger than I am. 7. I love the way it feels when its cold (weird I know). 8. I get some compliments from people. 9. Hair dressers love it cause they get to charge me extra for cutting thick hair. 10. Oh yeah, it's thick. 11. It's the one thing about me I've always liked. 12. Too bad it defines me in my mind. 13.

1. on the List

Okay, went to the Skin Deep In Ink tattoo place which is: about 5 blocks from my house, women owned, women run, really nice! They have movies to watch AND they do your nails! I gave my very very very first grade sketch to the artist and she was psyched to do the design! I saw one she drew for her appointment that night and it was fantastic. Sooooooo, she had an opening Friday and Saturday so I took the Saturday at 3 except I forgot Kurt and friend are coming for the weekend so I may have to cough cough call in sick tomorrow. So hey, I followed through on something!

Speaking of Kurt - can't wait to see him and Jen, looking forward to some good eating in the Gluck family I can cook better than you tradition. I know Mom is looking forward to his Pad Thai which is outstanding. Then I hope to take them shopping for a kitchen table and chairs as his Christmas present. Going out to Target tomorrow for some funky black and white serving platters. Why is it always more fun to shop for someone else?

Gotta gotta gotta call the doc.
