Woke up early today. Don't know why but have that pit of doom feeling in my stomach. I'm hoping it's just hunger and the pessimistic Gknee isn't lurking about. (I don't like her...she's a downer)

Today is the first day that my fingers aren't numb. I'm hoping that whatever nerve is pinched or whatever has worked its way out. I really need to get back to Curves. I have to shed this shell of myself fast!!

So tonight I went to a mexican restuarant where there was a singer there doing country tunes. Talk about being whacked out.

Nothing new here...but then again..it's the weekend.

...had an invite to go see The Island with a friend but "we" aren't going. Would have been fun..oh well. It looks very "Logan's Run"-ish which is cool. Maybe tonight I just sit back and have a few Kahlua and Milks :)

It's the weekend. Not that it means much. Hoping to go see a movie but after talking about things looks like it's a weekend at the house again. It's okay I guess. I can look up hotels for Labor Day weekend. Otherwise known as WAH Weekend.

Been playing a lot of BF2 lately. I dont know why. I guess the "no interaction" has been a good thing. It seems any time I do "talk" to anyone I'm fraq'ing (BSG) it up bad.

Tonight is SciFi Friday!! I'm so happy. For a few hours I can escape everyone and just veg out.

I belive Sinus headaches could be a form of torture. It's too bad you can't inflict them on people, they would do anything to get you to stop. I started getting the heachache around 8pm last night. It went away for awhile but has returned. I'm sure if I got more sleep, but that doesn't effect our sinus', does it?

Woke up at 7:37am. What a strange time. Even stranger because I didn't go to bed until nearly 4am. I really should be sleeping more. Usually I get 7 hours but today I guess my body just wanted to wake up. That or the headache wanted to torture me more.

Nothing on the agenda today. Might play some BF2 if people are around. No fun by myself. At least with others I don't feel so bad when I die every 2 seconds. hehe Guess I just need the comfort of friends to help me suck so bad at a game.

More Random Thoughts:

• I need to just get over it
• I need to let go
• Moving on sucks
• Trust is hard
• I need a pedicure
• Laundry in the heat sucks
• I want a MMCFL
  

Man...I am SO hungry today. I don't get it. It's not like I haven't had meals either. I ate nearly a truckload of grapes today and still.....

The "bug lady" came today. Said that the bugs were bad this year. As you can tell from my previous post I'm not a fan of the bugs. So I agreed. Thank goodness she comes and takes care of the critters. I would hate to think what it would be like if she hadn't been spraying for years.

Glimpses of me - great name for a song

numbers don't mean a thing

nothing looks good enought to eat at 5:24am

I miss the muppets

my shoulder hurts

Beach...I think I need to see the beach soon. Something about it recharges me. I'm feeling drained. Something about the vastness helps me. In Michigan I used to head to Lake Michigan and just gaze across it's foreverness. Wasn't many people there ...was nice, was all alone and could just sit and think. I miss Michigan. Something about Boyne was soothing. Desolate...but soothing. Not that I don't love the city, I love the convience of it all. I just guess I appreciate the quiet towns now.

Oof...what a day. First I had to go in for my yearly girl appointment. I go to leave the house and there is a roach, half dead in the kitchen. I was running late so I just left. The parking garage gate is up and I go to get a ticket...no tickets. Says "Out of order pay $1.25 at exit" So fine, I head in, find a parking space and make my way to the office. They do their little pre-check flight dealie before you see the doctor and send me into the room to disrobe and stuff. I'm sitting there waiting for the fun to begin and in pops the nurse. "He has to go do a delievery, can you wait?" I say sure because I don't want to make another trip. So he's back in about 20 minutes, no big deal. Read Southern Living and dreamt of clean houses. I get done with that and think..hmm...no time for Curves, better do my grocery shopping. I'm still remembering that I have to take care of the half dead roach in the kitchen and I'm terrified of it. So I get my fruit, bread, skim milk and other goodies and make my way home. I'm STARVING so I think, How about a nice MMCFL (Mint mocha chip frappuccino light). Needless to say...Starbucks pit stop :) I get in the house and drag my drinking water and food into the kitchen. I verify that the half dead roach is still half dead and put my groceries away. Now to deal with the roach. I don't want to smoosh it..it will crunch and I'll hurl. So I decide to open up the doors all the way outside and sweep the huge bug out. I'm totally stressing as I'm sweeping thinking that it's going to jump alive and scurry up the broom and get me. Finally it's outside and part of the yard. I gave a huge sigh of relief and closed up the house again. Next item was Weight Watchers. I wanted to use the excuse that the roach was causing me not to go but I didn't. I really didn't want to face the fact that Vegas last week was pretty much a bad week for "plan". I grabbed my bottle of water and made my way. This is one of those times I'm SO thankful I went. Sure, I gained..but I went. I'm proud of myself for going. :) I'm heading home feeling all good about my morning so far. I live on a one way street so you have to take the other one way to get to a cross street to back track to my house. So I'm tooling along in the left hand lane and this city bus is to the right of me. It comes into my lane and drives me off the road. I'm freakin' out as I feel my tire jump over a concrete block. Instantly my car starts pulling and I know my tire is shot. Thankfully there is a tire shop at the corner and I throw my hazards on and make my way. I get out and see the rim is bent to heck and there is a HUGE gash in the tire. I find the man working and he pulls it off and says "Has to be a funny size tire". Great....so he doesn't have a tire. He pulls it off anyway and off he goes into his rows of tires and comes back with one. Whew!! Now to see if the rim is damaged. He pulls the old tire off and starts banging the rim with this sledge hammer. OOF!! I don't need to watch this. I start talking to this other woman that is there just to keep my mind occupied and not stress over all this. About fifteen minutes pass and he's got the new tire on my car and says to me. "Today is your lucky day. I had the tire an the rim was easily fixable. Good thing you have a steel rim" So $25.00 later I'm back on the road and driving home. (Which is only about a block from the tire place, but still).

Couldn't sleep last night (that's not new...) so I watched National Treasure. Fun movie :) It was really good how they didn't make the clues so unbelievable which happens in a lot of adventure movies. All in all..I give it a thumbs up. (tee hee hee)

I stepped on the scales this morning too. OOF!! too much weird stuff in Vegas. I'm going to really work hard if I want to get this fat off me. I'm thinking about doing my Curves every day next week. I'm sure my WW will be a let down but I'm not going to let it "bring" me down. I'm going to get past this. *sigh* I have to!

Finally got Battlefield 2 (BF2) working. Ended up playing for about four hours with some friends. I really suck at FPS games but man..it was fun :) Nothing else to say....really....*shrug*

Just bought Battlefield 2 . Trying to get it installed so I can play with some friends. Not working how it's supposed to. Let me go smack around the computer a bit :)

Battlestar Galactica has got to be one of THE best shows on TV :) If just frackin' rocks!

Whew...what a day. I'm SO glad to be home. I slept most of the journey back to Jacksonville. Bought one of those Travel Pillows ( you know the ones...U shaped) and slept like a baby. Okay, maybe not a baby but it was pretty dang comfy :)

So I learned something today. Some people don't like to talk about future travel when they are travelling. Needless to say..it was a quiet trip.

*sigh*

It's good to be home.....

Mpire :)

I'm SO ready to be home.

YMCA @ Hard Rock Cafe

FW:

Me and my one of my college buddies. Man it was so good to see my muffin.

Not a good day on the casino floor....So I'm back in the room taking a break.

Early night in Vegas....jet lag has caught up to everyone. I hope we last a bit long tomorrow. Have to make sure I get a hold of my friend out here. Can't blow him off..that would be mean.

Me on the plane :)

This is a shot from Minn/St. Paul Airport at sunset. We missed the "money" shot because they didn't let us turn on the phones right away.

View from the hotel :)

Ugh...5am Eastern..but only 2am Local. Got the laptop up and running...wheeeeeee. Let me recap the flights.

Leave Jacksonville at 6:15pm EST...no problems..watch "Finding Neverland". VERY good flick. Thunderstorms close down Minn/St. Paul for an hour so we are in a holding pattern watching level 5 (on a scale of 1-6) off to the left. (Why my camera was in the overhead is beyond me..so no cool pics :( )

Arrive in Minn/St. Paul 45 minutes late...BOOK to the gate (which of course can't be right there) and arrive there at 9pm (local) Head to Starbucks...WHAT!!?! Closed *sigh* Grab a banana and water and board.

Sit in on the runway for a freakin' hour!!! Finally take off. I was hoping to sleep..but I didn't. Watched "Tripping the Rift" for a bit but mostly stared out at the moon. Was neat...kinda like that scene in Superman where he's flying with Lois. Although her "commentary" totally ruins that whole scene. .....Anyway.... Was neat to see the moon like that.

No SciFi channel in the hotel..they really should be EVERYWHERE :)

Off to grab some Zzzz's before the week casinos and free drinks begins.

Plane

Yummy

Quick bite before the flight.

Packed

Suit cases ready to go :)

I leave for Vegas in a few hours.... I hope to keep up ...I know I haven't been doing that this past week. Too much laundry....(I hate laundry) I should just do it when the basket fills, but no....I have to wait until there are 4 baskets full and a hamper. *sigh* Maybe I'll be better once school starts. Oh yea..did I mention I'm going back to school? I'm going to study sign lauguage interpretation. I dont' know why...it's just one of those "gut" feeling decisions. :)

Ever has one of have one of those nights that you just wanted to "redo"? Well, that would be tonight. Going to do payroll and I almost side swipe a car. So after that panic attack (Not by me) I turn up the radio and keep going. I pull into Jerry's parents driveway. His dad is parking the car. Suddenly the back up lights come on..I'm in park so I'm wailing on the horn...over and over. CRUNCH!! He hit us. He wasn't even going anywhere.. I have NO clue why he was backing up. Screaming from inside the car is overwhelming..

.....finally get the car moved out of the way...look at the front and no damage...

I don't know why...but the tension is really thick. I guess it's my fault....I dunno....I should just drink or something...

(and on top of this all..being a girl sucks)

SWG can really suck at times. Not only do the Devs totally screw you..people you thought were your friends turn out to say hurtful things and make you wonder if you are really as terrible as they say.

Let's talk about the devs. First of all, they are about to screw bounty hunters...but I should have seen that coming. Entertainers are about to get the big nerf too. So much for working on senses with musician.. If you have NO clue what I'm talking about..check out www.starwarsgalaxies.com

*sigh* anyway...planning on going to Six Flags over Georgia in September for Labor Day. Should be way fun...going to Vegas in few weeks...I love being busy.

Well..I was going to do this whole Happy 4th of July thing, but I didn't. Hope everyone had a great holiday. Mine went fairly well. Spent most of it online with my friends and loved ones. Did take the time to update all the computers on the network. I think we might have had a security leak. *shrug*

Tomorrow is back to Curves to work out and back on the WW diet! I didn't do TO bad today..but I didn't do the best. Banana Rum cake is fat free..right? :)

Zoobar!!

Mmmm...candy... It's not that I have any, but it's that I want some. Like skittles..or....sweettarts....oooooo..gummybears. *checks the calender* Ahhhh...see....now I know.. :)

Odd stuff

Tat Space

Can't believe I actually got up at 8am to go work out. A year ago that would of NEVER happened. I feel ...well..suprisingly energetic this morning. Stayed up late again playing SWG and talking to the silly one. Nothing planned for today. Not that I expected there to be anything planned...just more of a hope.

I'm torn about going to see War of the Worlds. Wanna see it because:

1. Classic
2. Scifi
3. did I mention it's a classic

However this whole Tom Cruise thing really puts a black tarnish on the whole thing. Sad actually.. How could anyone say that there is no "chemical balance" in the brain. Does the man even know about science. Like I heard others say..."he should stick to acting". Hope Katie Holmes never gets pregnant and has Post pardum depression.

Testing the mobile blogging :)

Finally got my own domain. I fiddled around for too long and missed our on gknee.net. oh well...at least I have gknee.org. Gknee.com has been taken for 6 years now...but she never does anything with it. I'd offer to buy it..but how does one do that? Anyway...this is working now...that's what counts :)
