I didn't create cancer either

Well, this weekend I did not cure cancer, but that wasn't really on my to-do list. Doing a shit-ton of work was.
Today I had the opportunity to do quite a bit of work, meaning that I did have the time, but I sat on my big behind. (by the way - I watched a BIZARRE Japanese film about cricket sumo wrestling and sex. Ummm, I do not recommend.)

But: Status update!

I have now been doing my best to follow along with the edict and been doing the whole night-time routine bit. Including flossing. uh-huh. This chick's gettin' it done. Flossing sucks, by the way. But having your teeth fall out yo head probably sucks more.
Plus, I have also been moisturizing and sunscreening in the day. Woot! me.

Back to the above - not that I have attention deficit disorder, or anything. But Netflix rocks! You can watch bizarre, dumb Japanese movies about sex and fighting bugs and then you can catch up on some tv (who needs to do that?). A comedy? No problem. Feeling a little serious, we've got the film for you. The streaming capability - I can't say enough. Really, really cool.

Wow. Apparently this post was about nothing. Except giving Netflix some free advertising. Way to go - like they need your free endorsement. They could pay, you know! Not that they would pay me... but they could definitely afford to.

I'm still gonna Lie about my Age

Ok. So it happened and I turned 40. Years. Old.
I do not feel forty, in fact, I barely feel old enough to drink - or I feel ninety. I'm not sure which.
I need to start making a plan because it ain't getting any better than this - UNLESS I do something to make it so.
So, with that in mind, I need to start changing some stuff 'round here.
1) Wash face every night. Do Not decide that you are too tired and you'll get up in a minute and do the entire nightly routine and then fall asleep in a heap in your clothes.
2) Brush teeth morning and night AND floss. Seriously. Floss, floss, floss. You need your teeth. Dental is soo expensive. And how ugly would you be if you had no teeth? Can you say UnAttractive? See number 1 above. Do not say you are too tired to do entire nightly routine - and then fall asleep all gross! For the love of . . . your teeth? Floss!
3) Moisturize. See items 1 and 2 above. Do not fall asleep and Not do some moisturization. And then sleep on your face and wake up with crazy wrinkles running across your face - and then do this for another 15 years and your face has those pillow wrinkles Permanently! Be nice to your face, give a little love, put some goo into your pores to perk them up and let them say, ahhh! Also - put a little lotion on those sad dogs of yours. Seriously, the pedicure guy would Really appreciate it. He worked soo hard last time.
4) Take a multi-vitamin. While you're at it - some calcium too! See item 2 above. You need your teeth and you need your bones. You are already prone to breakage. Give some love to your hard parts. Also: see item 1 above. Do not fall asleep and Not Take Your Vitamin(s). Seriously, all you have to do is swallow. You are Not too tired to swallow. Do it!
5) Back to the skin. You live on the surface of the sun. Wear SunScreen! You are getting old lady spots on your driving arm. Gross! A little sunscreen goes a long way! Use it! Use it! Use it! Sunscreen on face, neck, decolletage, and arms at the very least.
6) Get some exercise in. Seriously, a little walk will do you good. One foot in front of the other. You learned to do it some time ago, I don't know why you're afraid of it now. It totally isn't hard.
7) Follow this for awhile! Let's see if we can make it habit (and then we'll add some more--but don't get scared).
OH and for good measure:
8) Stop shopping at Wal-mart. I know it seems as if they have good prices, but you just get annoyed and often spend more than you want (when you're not annoyed). PLUS! Evil corporation. Shop local, feel good about the money you spend.
9) Ooooh! Seriously, stick to a budget. SAVE some Money, girl.
Ok. Here's the list for now.
Happy Birthday to Me! Now, Grow Up!

Weekend and poor.

So poor. OMyGoodness! Poor! Ugh. And the car won't start. But back to the weekend. M's birthday was this past weekend. So I ran around like a crazy person trying to fit everything in. Dumb! Wasn't really a crazy person, just did what normal people do - have a life. It was good that I didn't spend the entire weekend in bed, but I really spent too much moola. That's how bad it is- I'm out of money now and spending moola. V funny. But not.
Mc let me borrow his car so and he's gonna drop off my car so that I can get it looked out. The stress of everything is really getting to me. Everything is stressful. Everything. Work. Weight. Car. Money. House. Holidays. Feel like I'm gonna just. . . Well, I don't know, exactly. Maybe this is the stuff of life. I'm not sure.
Wish me luck.

What I did today

So. I changed the sheets on my bed. I washed a window. I vacuumed at my bedroom floor. I washed some linens. I let the roomba go in the ne'er lived-in family room. I bought new shoes that were too expensive, that will hopefully help my feet. I ran into an old friend that I haven't even thought about since probably eighth grade. Ooh. I walked the dogs. I went to the doctor. I ate too much. I watched some tv. I took out more trash. I emptied the central vac and washed its filter.

Glorious Weekend

It was great. B came up and we did kitchen duties and cleaned and cleaned. And I did a little pilates and came home to a new pantry! Whew. Hard work for her.
It was nice to not feel bad for the entire weekend. And I have a day off today, so I'm gonna try to do some good works today, too.
I'll let you know how that goes...

I voted

Did you? Will you care? I bet you will. I was really worried about voting because 2 days (Sunday) before the election, Mc was all I found this website and it tells you everything about where to vote. So we went there and mine was all - too bad for you! V upsetting. At my old address it said it matched, but the address was no longer good.. and it would take 3 days to get into the system. Ugh! So I almost didn't go. But I did. (I didn't want to feel bad about it for the next 4 years - even though I didn't think my vote would count.) Anyhoo.. voted provisionally. I guess it doesn't really matter if they threw my vote away.. (which I hope didn't happen) but what does matter is that I participated and did my part.
I dun't understand why my voter registration changy thingy didn't go through. I changed it at school with those kids. At least once.. but I thought I did it more than once.
Ugh! I've been so tired lately. I hope everything will be ok.

Vote Today People.

That's it. JUST VOTE!!
Today's the day!

Working

Why, oh why, do we have to spend our days doing something we don't like just to survive and pay bills? I feel like a man in the '50's. Or a woman at any point in history.

State Fair

So. I actually went with M. It was ok. Cost $12 to park. To park. Just to PARK. Hmmm. That's pricey, in my opinion. Every year I get cheaper and cheaper and whine and complain more and more. Note to self: work on that. Yeah, right. Put it on my list with the gazillion other things I need to work on to make myself a more whole, complete, balanced and better human being.
K. Here's something that bothers me (speaking of whining): M bought a BO political bumper sticker. Bought. As in paid for. He spent how many dollars? hundreds of thousands to buy that infomercial on EVERY channel and can't give away some measly bumper stickers????!!??!!?!?!?
Pooh! I say, Pooh!
M got her Indian fry bread - or is it Native American fry bread? or why isn't it just fried goo dough turning into almost a edible mess? with beans and cheese. Cost her something like $7.50. or was that $750? hehehe She also got a medium drink for $3.50. That didn't seem too bad, to me. I had an ice cream bar. Like I needed that.
I started to get upset because I couldn't find the cheesy commercialized stuff.. but they switched what was under the coliseum with another building and we found it. Kind of a let down, but not too much.
She's supposed to be coming over so that we can go to the LP Art Fair. I hope it all works out. I'd like nothing better than to just take a nap. Probably shouldn't, tho'.
B is coming in town next week just to help me clean up. Should probably clean a little so that we don't have such a mountain to tackle next weekend.
Sounds like M might be here.. will write more later.
