A mask for your boobs.

While we’re on the subject of masks I LOVE these!!

My favorite is the mint and teatree face tonic. It’s like gum for your face. Love it. I got em for like a dollar each individual mask at the Sav On.

Sitting on hold with Tmobile while they figure out why our phones aren’t working. Who knows how long that’s been going on we never use our cellphones except when Cody has to travel for work. I was smart though I already had the cordless phone’s headset on and I’ve gotten all our other bills paid online while waiting.

I’ve also gotten all the food ready for the dog’s visit to the puppy spa. They don’t have the Foster and Smith food and I don’t want her to get sick. Also we feed her one cup three times a day as opposed to grazing because she’d just eat it all up in one shot then get sick. So I made up twenty little baggies with 1 cup of dog food each. Put all her supplements and a treat in every third baggie and stapled it together with two plain ones for each day. It costs me a dollar a meal to have them do it this way but it’s worth it to keep her healthy. The place she goes to is great. We also pay for supervised doggy day care all day long because she loves other dogs so much and a special frozen yogurt treat once a day. The people that work there genuinely love dogs and cats and they give us a little report card on how she did when we pick her up. She’ll have a lot of fun.

So while I’m on hold (yep, still, which is fine with me as long as they fix the problem) I thought I’d type out the supplements we give Winter and what they’re for.
(more…)

So I gritted my teeth and made phone calls yesterday until I found a new doctor. And they even made an appointment for me the same day. She’s a CNP which I actually prefer to an MD. They work under the supervision of an MD but they usually are more relaxed and have time to address every issue. I didn’t want to forget to talk about all my issues so I’d made a list.

So yay I’m back on the wellbutrin! Dopamine how I’ve missed you. Here’s hoping I’m taking it in time for it to counteract the explosive nightmare depression-episode-inducing pms I’ve been having the last few months since being off of it.

The only bad bit about being with a new doc is they don’t really appreciate what I’ve accomplished this past year. Yes I have a good ways to go but losing 40 pounds is a big big deal. The fact that I don’t drink regular cokes, try to stay under 21 grams of fat a day, and eat generally much healthier (not to mention the quitting smoking) is a great accomplishment! I just gotta work on drinking the water and getting exercise.

Guys you may not want to read this so cover your eyes. But this must be said. Those plastic speculums….owie!

We went to the eye doctor today. Found a great one we like a lot. Can set appointments online and we got free coffee from the satellite coffee shop next door. The receptionist is somehow very perky and friendly yet not annoying.

Cody got contacts! It’s like I have a whole new husband! Seriously the only times I’ve seen him without glasses is in the shower and in bed. We’re looking for some cool wrap around black sunglasses for him. He tried some on and they looked goooood but they were a bit expensive so we’re going to wait. He hates it when I say this but he totally looked like a young Bob Dylan. *swoon*

He’s had quite a makeover lately - a nice suit, new shoes, polished his old ones, even new underpants! I keep expecting the Queer Eye guys to come popping out of a closet - so to speak.

I got new glasses too. They’re terribly cute little rimless anne kleins but there aren’t any online photos of them. It’s kind of hard to see rimless glasses so that would be why there aren’t any photos I guess. But they’re very light and I feel adorable in them. Sadly I won’t have them in time for the trip.

My eyeballs are hot and dry now and things are very bright of course. We went to the mall to see if we could find some cheaper sunglasses we liked. He bought me some happy bunny mints but nothing else really tempted us. Still smarting from spending that much on glasses.

Now I just have to find a damn primary physician covered under our new insurance. The place five minutes from our house “isn’t accepting new patients” wtf is that about? grumble grumble

I wonder what shrimp ever did to piss god off?

Since I abandoned my responsibilities (yeah I suck) at Tian Bay on the Eclipse server on Star Wars Galaxies in January I haven’t been doing much gaming.

Played Port Royale for a few days. Which was fun. I think I’m going to finally load Siberia and do some laundry avoidance tonight.

We were sad we didn’t try to sign up for the World of Warcraft’s beta test in time to get in but there’s very long feature at gamespot about it today.

So I’ve been a bit busy getting ready to fly to Alabama next week to visit my parents and then be in my sister’s wedding. And don’t get any funny ideas about coming to my house and mo-lesting my hedgehog because we’ve got a swarthy Italian youth staying here while we’re gone.

The wedding will be up in Sewanee, Tennessee, where the groom is researching his dissertation. The wedding will be very pretty and I’m quite excited to be wearing a very pretty dress and my cool new accessories.

But I think I’m most excited about getting to hit the national cornbread festival (beware! autoload music!) which will be running concurrent with the wedding events. Ok I’m not really. But I think it’s funny.

You come from Dark Water. You are solitary and
find peace in yourself, or maybe you’re
turmoiled but pull off peace.

1. How often do you go grocery shopping?
maybe once a week? sometimes twice. Cody does the grocery shopping he’s a lot better at it.

2. What is the last thing you bought for yourself?
I just bought this necklace, these earrings (hopefully they can be converted to clip), this barette, and these cute little clippies. All for my sister’s wedding.

3. What do you like shopping for most often?
books and movies

4. Are you an impulse shopper?
definitely. Cody and I stopped by the nearby giganto walchain on friday to get some new underwear for him and some kitty litter. I couldn’t help splurging on their great variety of plus sized boyshorts.

5. What is the last item you purchased?
the things I talked about in number two. I just got em last night.
