Really bad eating weekend. It actually started Friday night at work. A lovely lady that I work with, who shall remain nameless, brought in a delectable concoction made of tomatoes, parsley, onions, and oh yes, CREAM CHEESE, all piled high on these little pieces of the most delicious garlic toast I have ever tasted. Since we were busy, I decided one little piece would not hurt, but that one little piece turned into 6 or 7.
Well, that was all that I had to eat at work, so when my husband wanted me to pick up Sonic on my way home, I thought what the hell, I've already screwed up, and I'm hungry. So I ordered a cheeseburger...no wait, make that a DOUBLE cheeseburger (if I'm cheating, might as well cheat big), with fries and a REAL coke (gasp). Trust me, it was fricking delicious.
Then, 8 hours later, after being up for 24 hours and having my hair done and seeing my sister-in-law, I did not feel like cooking, and my husband had grilled steaks, so I had about half of one of those. Then he got these awesome new Doritos (late night taco) so I tried a few of those. And oh yeah, I had another real soda. Yum.
So, I'm back on track today. I've had strawberries with Splenda, and cheerios with fat free milk. Sigh. But it's all for the greater good.

My Husband Drives Me Insane
My husband just made me so angry just before going to sleep, that now I am completely unable to drift off, while he is in there snoring...loudly I might add...let me explain...
When we moved into this house, I knew this was not the house of my dreams. Everything that I wanted in a house (and pretty much everything he wanted also) was explained away as being 'not easily attainable in a first time house'. I wanted 2 bathrooms, we got one. I wanted 3 bedrooms, we got 2. I wanted a dishwasher, needless to say, there is not one here. You get my drift. When I saw this house, I knew it would not be big enough for the 2 of us. It's only a little over 1000 square feet, but Jeff reassured me that it would be more than enough room, and I could even use the second bedroom as my scrapbook room. So I agreed, we signed the papers, the house is now ours. My 'scrapbook room' is now transformed into a storage room. My total gym is in there, and my treadmill, all of my scrapbook stuff, and several empty containers, of which Jeff does not want to put up into the storage area above our garage, because critters might get into them. They are plastic. Therefore, my total gym is not able to be set up, nor is my treadmill (they both have stuff piled on top of them). I am unable to scrap, due to the piles of crap that keep accumulating on the table.
Moving on to this morning when he got home from work. The first thing out of his mouth was, 'I think I am going to buy Rock Band'. I said 'cool'. Even though he has countless, and I do mean countless, games lying around here, packed in boxes, what have you. He usually only plays one game (maybe 2) at a time. When he gets a new game, he plays it for about 3-4 hours, then he gets a new one. This is how it has always been with Jeff, at least since I've known him. I don't normally mind, Jeff does work hard, he pays all of the bills, and I don't want to be one of those 'naggy' wives. If he works, he should reap some rewards, and I believe this 100%.
Changing subjects, but I promise it is necessary for my point. O.K., so, I am really trying to lose some weight. I am not happy, haven't been for a very long time. I am embarrassed to be around people because of how I look. I have always been the overweight friend, now I am the morbidly obese friend. I find it disgusting. Enough about that, I am really trying to eat better...chicken, broccoli, the works. I know that if I supplement my eating habits with an exercise routine, I will feel better more quickly. But remember, if I want to even see my total gym or my treadmill, I have to dig. So, I came across an infomercial (I know, stamp sucker on my forehead) for slim in 6. It seems pretty easy to do, low impact, and I can do it in the living room. It's big enough, and there doesn't look to be a whole lot of jumping around in the DVD's, so I thought I would give it a try. Plus, it's only $20 for 3 months. Not a bad deal to feel better right?
Wrong, according to my husband. I jumped into bed this morning, and I explained how I wanted to get this fitness program called slim in 6. Before I said anything else, he says, 'no Rachel, you do not need that. How many things do you have in there right now?' I stated that they are all videos, not DVD's, of which I would not be able to use out in the living room. He asks, 'what about the chuck norris thing you have in there? and your treadmill? why don't you try using those for a while?' I was frickin speechless.
The reason why I am not using my 'chuck norris' thing and the reason I am not using my treadmill is because you insisted that we buy this house, you insisted we would have enough room, and now you won't throw your EMPTY containers in storage, WHERE THEY SHOULD BE, and because you won't do this, I have no room to set up my exercise equipment! Meanwhile, I want to use frickin $60 to buy myslf a program to help myself get in shape, and you want to throw $125 away on ANOTHER video game? You have got to be frickin kidding me!!!!
Now, I am so pissed off that I can't go to sleep, even though I have to work tonight, and even if I weren't pissed off, he is sawing logs so loudly that I am surprised someone outside is not yelling 'timber'! Who knew marriage could be so lovely???

Ugh...the weather!!!
So, I got here to work tonight at 5, having driven in a downpour. Didn't think anything of it, until I heard that it was supposed to start freezing, then sleeting, then snow on top of that, then the temperature is supposed to drop down in the teens overnight!!! As if all of this is not bad enough, the winds are supposed to reach 30 mph, which is just lovely when you are driving cross country, and can barely see the lines as it is!!! So, everyone, I get off of work at 5 in the morning on Monday. Please pray that I make it home safely. :)
Only 11 days until Christmas!!! I just can't believe how fast this year has gone. I started a new career adventure in January, Jeff and I bought our first house in August, and in the middle I was planning our wedding. We got married in October, and here it is the Christmas holidays!!! I guess our parents were right...time moves faster as you get older.
I did not sleep well today. Woke up three times from 6 am to 8 am, having to use the facilities. The third time, I decided I was also hungry, so decided to eat a little something. Finally got back to sleep, only to be awakened by Gus, who is plenty big enough to jump up onto the bed on his own, scraching at the bedframe, wanting to be picked up. He finally gets up onto the bed, and proceeds to lick my face for about 5 minutes. He gives those really wet, sloppy kisses too, complete with sound effects: sluuuuurp, slurrrrrp, sluuuuuurp. Nothing like awakening to a dog licking your face. While all of this is going on, Sparky is growling and barking at me, wanting me to throw his ball. Ugh, just let me get some sleep!!! Unbeknownst to me, I did finally fall asleep amoung all of this commotion, only to wake myself up singing, 'Christmastime is here' from the quartet from Saturday Night Live. Fantastic.
So, currently, I am sitting at work, in Fast Track, with a really hilarious doctor, although I really can't understand what he says half of the time, and I am trying to keep my eyes open. I better, because, no doubt, we will be getting plenty of car accidents tonight. The joys of working in the emergency department.

So, Here I Am
Today, I have just finished shopping for Jeff's Christmas presents. Actually, I started it and I finished it...internet shopping is the best! However, I still have to find and purchase gifts for all of my family, and that is always the hardest part...only Jeff makes me a list of his 'top picks'!
I am sitting here staring at my Christmas tree, and I am thinking, 'they are always so much prettier at night'. Hmmmm...
I am sitting here on this computer, basically doing nothing, when I should be up cleaning my house, doing laundry, washing dishes, any and all of these things. I am just so unmotivated today. I guess what is different than from any other day? What I really want to do is paint my bathroom. It is this hideous dark green and cream color, and I hate it, have hated it since moving into this house. I have all of the colors that I need to paint it, I just know it is going to take more than one day, and I have to go to work tomorrow night, and I don't think I can get it done in time. Bathrooms and kitchens suck to paint. All of the little corners and nooks and crannies. I remove all of the doors on the cabinets, so that I don't get paint on the hangers, so that is additional time...ugh, it makes me tired thinking of all of it.
I really should be calling the doctor also. I have had this pain in my lower left quadrant for the past, oh, two months or so, and it is pretty constant, although it waxes and wanes. The longer it goes on, the more concerned I become, but on my days off, I just do not want to leave the house. This is so sad to me; I am a 26-year-old female, recently married, I should be having the time of my life, but I just don't get excited about anything anymore. I don't want to drive the 45 minutes to the cities, I just want to be home. I miss my mom; haven't seen her in almost a month; I miss my friends, haven't seen any of them since the wedding. I really honestly think that if I let myself become one, I could be an agoraphobic. That scares me.
Anyway, I guess I should go and start cleaning the house. Who knows, maybe I can clean the house and paint the bathroom? Ha, not going to happen.
