Random April posting

I wrote a lot of this last Saturday, and just now found time to post it. Today is Tark’s birthday! Yea!! I would post more, but I do not have the time to do someone as -sweet, awesome, nice, great, strong, wicked cool, dorky, loving, and great man of God type-as Tark is justice.

So in-between the busyness I have found some time to write a little. This will be complete randomness, so you have been warned. I am also very tired as I got in last night at 2:00 am after taking youth to a concert.

First off, I am so freaking hungry. I have been on this diet thing for about 7 weeks now and I want nothing more than to devour a loaded pizza or a huge burger. Yet, I know if I did either of those things I would feel horrible afterwards, so this stinks. I mean I eat, and the things I eat taste good, it is just hard. I am thinking it might be time to splurge just a little before someone gets hurt.

I do like the results of the 7 weeks though. I have lost a little over 30 pounds. Of course I was so fat to begin with, I can’t really tell that much, though I am running out of pants that will actually stay on me so I guess that is a good sign.

Work is good, but busy and stressful. This week is Holy week and it is kind of a big deal. The youth do the Good Friday service and we are changing the venue to the stage in our family life center. It has always been in the sanctuary, so now I fear it has to be amazing or people will be mad about the change, because people hate change.

Did I mention that I am starving and it is very hard to be stressed and not be able to pig out a little?

Tark is now running a Christian coffee house. Which is good for him, because it’s something he really wants to do and feels like he is suppose to do, but it does decrease our total salary a little, plus now we have to pay more for insurance. That is a little stressful, but if it is something he thinks he is supposed to do I really have to support him. He has always supported me.

Did I mention that I am starving and the stress makes it harder?

The kids are good; MG is getting to the point where school is getting a little too easy. I think it is time to challenge him more, which is exciting. Westers is getting a handle on the potty thing which is super exciting. Westers is also becoming obsessed with Star Wars. I have no idea why, except that Star Wars is awesome and so is he so I guess it was just meant to be.

Seriously though, I really need a huge cheeseburger.

I am just not that entertaining…

I have about come to the conclusion that my life is way to boring to blog about and that my creativity has either gone away or is being put to other uses.

 Here are the things that have happened since my last blog:

1. I got glasses that I am suppose to wear all the time, but keep forgetting them at home. I hate the way I look in          glasses, I will post a picture later.

2. My wallet was lost/stolen. I left it in my buggy for a second after putting items from Wal-mart in the car. When I turned around to get it, it was gone. It is my own stupid fault, but someone is really mean. I had to cancel all my cards, including the church cards, file a police report, and now I have to get a new driver’s license and social security card. I also lost $150 and some cute pictures of my kids.

3. I had to take a stray dog to the animal shelter. I hated to do it, but we cannot have another dog and I couldn’t find it any other home.

4. I have gone on a sort of diet. I don’t like to call it a diet, I am just trying to eat much healthier and I am taking this.

5. I have a thought a lot lately about my and my family’s  future. Do I intend to stay where I am for a very 6. long time? Do I ever want to go back from where I came from? Things like that.   I have also thought a lot about Tark’s employment future and wish he would do the same.

Not much has really happened. I am off to a youth event this weekend so wish us safe travels and good times. I will try to be a more entertaining blogger in the future.

Go Away January!!!

It has been a rough month for us. All of us have been sick except Mg. Westers had strep. Tark and I had the stomach bug. We had to get a new washer and today our car wouldn’t start. The car fixed cheaply and one we figured it out easily, but it was a frustrating half a day. Tark is not a happy guy right now. He gets kind of touchy when he is stressed, so I am trying to leave him alone.

So I am going to say goodbye to this loser of a month January by stating ways that I am a loser.

1. I own a lot of t-shirts, quite a few with cartoon or video game characters.

2. My DVR is filled with The Office and Avatar episodes

3. I own two different styles of Mouse ears.

4. On one of my cars you have to roll up the driver side electric window by opening the door and pulling it up with your hand.

5. Our other car makes horrible squeaking sounds when you first turn it on.

6. I own over 10 pairs of pajama pants and at some point this week they were all dirty.

7. I hang out on Friday nights in a coffee shop that is a teenager hangout

8. I watched my DVD of the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice so much I had to buy a new one

9. I own all seven Harry Potter books and multiple editions of some

11. I have read lots of fan fiction

12. There are still clothes in my suitcase from my trip to PSYM

13. I love MST3K and have recently discovered Riff Trax and have even bought one.

14. I haven’t called my friend KareBear back even though she call to check up quite frequently….unlike other friends

Its cold, and wet, and I need a haircut, and my throat is icky…

Okay this is a random, maybe a little whiny post. It is very cold and wet here. I really think if it should be this cold and wet then it should be cold and wet enough for me stay home snuggling my kids, drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies. Instead I am at work, they are at school/pre-school, and it is still cold and wet.

I have one of those throat things where I don’t feel really bad, but I barely have a voice and I cough a lot. It’s not too bad, but I have had two kids so if I have to cough really hard I have to run to the bathroom or face the alternative.

I’m at work, which is usually a good thing. I like work, but it is kind of boring this week as I have everything planned and ready and not much going on the next two weeks due to the holidays. I mean we are going to Disney World, but that is all ready to go.

Speaking of the Disney World trip, I think the youth are going to do a daily video blog while we are out there. I am working on getting the parents OK, but so far it looks like it is on. So if you are interested in that, I will post a link on this blog before we leave so you know where to look. Hey, 15 youth, 4 adults (well two are adults, 2 are men who are technically adults but can be like having two extra youth with you), two vans, two condos, it should be interesting.

I really, really need to get my hair cut. It is to the middle of my back when it is dry and straighten out now. Just above that when it is frizzy and kinky like it usually is because it takes way to long to dry and straighten it out. So, I really want to get it cut, but I have no idea what to do. Should I keep is longish and just put some layers in to tame it, or should I go back to the just below the chin bob, or something else? If you know me and have seen me and have input, please let me know. My hair hasn’t been cut since I moved to where I am now which means it has been about a year. I have also a little burnt part on the side due to my old curling iron going out and having one last, very hot stand with my hair. It burnt off a small piece, which isn’t really noticeable, but you can feel it when you touch it and probably see it a little if you know where to look.

Christmas is almost here. I have almost all the presents ready to go, just two more things to buy and I am done. I plan to do that this week. The holiday starts for us this weekend. The boys get to open presents Friday night and Saturday. They are very excited. They only get three presents on Christmas morning, but they get plenty more from others in the family so that don’t seem to mind the three present rule. I suppose I really need to buy one more thing for Tark, but I have no idea what to get him. I bought him a couple of shirts which he has already discovered and worn. So I would like him to have something to open on Christmas morning. Any ideas on what to get a dorky 31 year old man that doesn’t cost too much?
