Randomness

My eyes are burning and I don't know why. Probably a tumor.

My stomach is so sunburned that I think I will fry tonight's dinner on it. I took a picture to post, but the color didn't come out and it doesn't look burned. Believe me, it is. Waaaaah.

I like broccoli. I steamed some for dinner tonight.

I don't think I will need to amputate my toe. It will probably heal. Did I mention that I walked into a sliding glass dooor track this weekend and broke my toe? I took a picture of it but it doesn't look as bad as it really is.

I'm craving a bbq chicken. The whole chicken. Minus the head and the feet and the feathers. Maybe I'm just craving bbq sauce. I'll go eat a bottle and see if my craving goes away.

I'm going to Boston in 11 days.

I have to power walk tonight after dinner without a bra. The bra hurts the sunburn. I guess I can play hacky sack with my boobs while walking and it will be like two excercises in one.

I am lazy and if I had the money, I would get lyposuction instead of being on a diet. I'm shallow like that. I'd have my boobs raised a bit too.

I think that as of today, I am diagnosing myself as clinically insane.

Do you have some randoms?

Pffffffft. Whatever

Augie and Monsty are just mean, mean, bully girls. I'm also going to add Breezy to the list of mean girls too. She's too short to be a bully though.
My only remaining sweet sistahs are Glowie and Nookie.

Have a great weekend

Whether you are staying home or going away, have a great three day weekend. Be safe.

5lbs

Yay for me. I got on the scale this morning and have lost 5lbs. When I got on the scale on day 2 and had lost 3lbs, I knew it was all water weight. But 5lbs can't all be water, can it?
I hate dieting but have to admit that when I get on the scale and the diet seems to be working, that makes it pretty much worth it to me. 10lbs more to go. *hops*

I'll miss you

Goodbye, Kat. I'll miss seeing you every week on my television.

For Jen

POOP

POOP

POOP

AND

POOP

YAAAAAAAWN!!!!!!!!!!

Today was UBER productive but I am exhausted. I'm so tired that I may fall asleep before I finish this post. *yawn*
Last night was poker night so we were up late and up drinking. I slept in this morning all the way until 6:30am. *yawn*
After checking email and such, I pulled out the instruction booklet for my new food sealer. Seal A Meal. Eh, I give it two and half stars out of 5. Most of the time is vacuum packed it. Other times it just sealed. I'm not a huge fan of this one but I bought, I used it, it's mine now.
Moving along: We start our strict diets tomorrow. Part of why we don't stick to our diets is because there are just nights when we are both lazy and don't feel like cooking so we order out or for delivery. Very bad.
To avoid this from happening, I spent ALL day today in the kitchen making our meals for the week. 10 breakfasts, 10 lunches, 10 dinners and 20 snacks. That's 5 days worth of meals for the two of us. It's a lot of damn work cooking for two for a week all in one day. Oh, I also did 5 loads of laundry in between. *grin*
I'm following a meal plan out of Prevention magazine. Very structured which is what we both need in order to stick to a diet plan. It's a very doable plan and actually looks like more food than I can eat.
There are mixtures of salmon, pork,beef,chicken,no pasta salads for dinner.
For lunch, things like tuna, salads, lean cuisine frozen meals.
Breakfasts are omelette type meals, breakfast sausage and fruits.
Snacks are cottage cheese, yogurt, veggies, fruit and deli ham&turkey.
For the most part pretty decent. Thank goodness it's only one day of yogurt. Ick. Me no like. At least it gets to be black cherry yogurt. I may just pour it over my cereal that day which is All Bran. *makes another icky face* I like bran flakes but this stuff looks like, and I imagine tastes like, rabbit droppings. Breakfast is going to be hard. I'm not big on eating anything before 10 or 11 o'clock.
So after spending all day being a domestic goddess, I am too pooped to pop. I bet I sleep well tonight. Which would be nice. I probably haven't slept well in 5 years. Of course with my luck, I'll be too tired to sleep and I'll end up tossing and turning all night.

Survivor Pool

All Survivor pool winnings have been sent out.
Congrats again to Puffy, Glow, Sonya and Lightsy.

I also sent you your refund for overpayment, Doc.

Maybe we'll do this again next season if there is enough interest again.

Diagnose me please

I think it's pretty serious but I am forbidden from going to WebMd.
Symptoms:
Headache
neckache
crampy feeling in my lower abdomen. On the right side, right at the bikini line.
No fever or vomitting
No dizziness
No double vision (although I am almost blind and need to get to the eye doctor)
unable to poot
And I lost three eyelashes

Break it to me gently.

*pats self on back*

I just overheard my boss talking to a client about me on the phone.
His exact words: "Carey is remarkable. The best estimator I have ever come across in my 40 years in the business"

This? makes me very happy. What makes me happiest is that he had no idea I could hear him. *big grin*

Just because

My Little Man posing for the camera. :)

Per Tkit's request

She doesn't have a computer at home but wanted to post an update about Bear, so she said I could post for her if I wanted.
Bear arrived this morning but not without incident. It seems the Foster parents put her on the plane with a case of the runs. So what got off the plane was, as I told her, a chocolate lab. It took her and DH over an hour to get him all cleaned up. He's still got the runs but they are fixing that with Pepto. When I talked to her, she had just gotten back from the liquor store and it sounded like she was ready for a much needed drink. LOL
Anyhow, she will post the whole story and pics on Monday when she gets back to work but she was so excited that Bear had finally made it home to her that she wanted to get it out there.
*smooches* to Tkit, Mr. Tkit, Thea, Ryan and now Bear.

I?

Am going to Boston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And? I am meeting Monsty!!!!!!!
And? I can't tell you how excited I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be gellus people. I get to meet Monsty. *skips and jumps and hops and pees self*

I have something that I want to post

But I can't post it yet. But I want to. But I can't.
It involves a *sigh* and a *hop*
I may pee myself if I don't get to post it soon. But I can't.

See? I knew it

I knew I had that 6th sense. I will NEVER doubt it again. NEVER.
This morning, I did an inspection of my warehouse and I went apeshit over something that I saw with our chemical storage area. It was a total mess and I ripped new assholes all over the place.
I left early today to go and visit with my aunt and uncle who are in town from Alabama.

I just got a phonecall from my plant manager telling me that the EPA came in for an inspection today. He said that for the most part the guys took care of most of the stuff that I yelled at them for and that EPA inspector was a picky one. He gave us two verbal warnings but nothing formal or in writing.
Had I not ripped my guys today? We would have been looking at about $50,000 in fines.

Glad I decided to do the pop inspection myself this morning.

Gmail

Anyone else have this?
I've just recently started to use my gmail account with a couple of people to see how I like it.
At first, me no likey. But the more that I use it, the more I like it. I may just completely switch to using just that account.
If anyone uses it, do you have any tips for me. any hidden secrets that will make it even more enjoyable for me?

I like that I seem to have almost unlimited storage space.
It keeps track of email conversations and keeps them contained into one email.
If I email someone, it automatically saves the email addy and builds my contact list without me having to do so.
I never have to delete emails. I can keep them archived and out of the way.
All kinds of neat little things.

So do you have a gmail account?

Tip of the day

Hi

Whatcha doin?

My non PC post

If you don't like the laws of our country, feel free to leave. I don't remember anyone writing out an invitation for you to come here illegally. If I had come here from another country and had gone about it in all the proper ways, I would be pissed off that a bunch of people would want to be able to step ahead of those who have been waiting and those who have gone about this in a legal manner.
