I'm in shape! Round IS a shape!!

Tomorrow I have appointments for checkup/labs, behaviorist and nutritionist. If I pass the screening process I should be able to start the VLCD program next week! I hope hope hope that with counseling and a nutritionist thrown in with the diet that I can learn how to eat properly to maintain a healthy weight (once I lose weight of course)!

Day two of the VLCD meal replacement plan. I'm surprisingly not hungry all the time but I'm constantly thinking about food. I really thought this would be a breeze but it's actually really tough. And after only two days I'm beginning to see just how much food actually controls my life.

It's not time for me to be pmsing but I really feel like I am! Grr, I hate these screwed up cycles. I never known when I'm going to get my period if at all! My face is broke out like a 15 year old boy, I'm bloated and exhausted and in an oh so foul mood this week! But my last period was Sept. 26th so I know it's waaaay too soon to be getting it again (it's never early, always late if at all). The one before that was August 4th. I just hate being so bitchy and snappy for no reason!

Things I like about myself: I have great hair no matter what I do to it. I have a cute little nose and pretty dark brown eyes. I have great skin, no wrinkles/lines and I look about 10 years younger than I am. Oh...and I'm funny as hell!

SHE.SLEPT.ALL.NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DD loves playing games and reading books and listening to music on my iphone. She has a DS but would much rather play on the iphone. I have an opportunity to buy an ipod touch for $75 brand new. Part of me wants to buy it for her for Christmas but part of me insists that she's got her DS and she's only 6 so that should be more than enough for her until she's older. IDK. $75 is a pretty darn good deal...

Parent/teacher conference last night. I learned that dd is a very smart, kind and respectful little girl who works very hard. Of course, I already knew all that but it makes me so proud to hear it from her teacher. She's come so so far with her behavior with a TON of hard work every day on her part and I can't even begin to say how proud I am of her. Keep up the good work Banana!

Took dd out shopping to find some jeans and pants last night because all of hers are too short now. Came home with nothing. She's a slim 5 in jeans and a 4/5 in pants but they're all too short! 6 slims are too big but have adjustable waists, except that they have to be adjusted so much that they bunch and bulge. Not many places to shop where I live and I don't want to spend a fortune so I guess dd is just going to wear high waters and capris all winter long!

DH made deep fried oreos last night for dd (as a treat for working so hard first quarter of school) and dd told him that her life was now complete. Lol. Kid kills me!

Just because I am on here while working doesn't mean I can't multi task and get my work done. I work for 2 seperate departments and the job I do was previously done by 3 full time people. I have never received anything less than Exceeds Successful on a review and I've never had a problem getting my work done. My desk is clean and clear and I do my work as soon as I get it. So what's the beef if I scan confessions while at work? My boss doesn't care, why should anyone else!

My boss informed me that he'd be screwed if something ever happened to my position (new director, department being reorganized/downsize, state agency with budget crisis, blah blah blah). He asked me to make a policy manual for everything I do for him so that he'd know how to do something if I got canned. That was two weeks ago. He keeps asking me about the manual. I keep telling him I'm working on it. Truth is, I made one years ago...I'm just not telling anyone because I'm afraid once they know there's a manual they'll lay me off for sure!

So some gonzo spilled a shit-ton of rice on the floor in the main hallway yesterday and didn't bother even trying to pick it up or to call housekeeping to clean it up. It's STILL there this afternoon. Which means the night cleaning crew didn't clean it either. I check this afternoon and NO ONE has sent a request to housekeeping...WTF!? People have just been walking on it for TWO DAYS now and NO ONE noticed? Apparently I'm the only one around here who treats my work space like my home and pick up after myself! Sheesh! Like working with a bunch of freaking children!

New commissioner says we ARE reorganizing but no one will be losing their job. That's good news right? So why don't I believe it. Why am I suspicious? Damnit. Won't know for sure until the end of March.

Hehehehe...Boss AND office prankster are gone today, April Fool's here I come!

DH turns 30 this month. He wanted to have a family bowling night, which I planned. But his mom threw a fit because she always has a bday dinner for him and his sis (bdays in same week) and he didn't NEED two bday parties, and that not only would she not come to a bowling party but she would not have a dinner for him. He relented to keep her happy and decided just to do his mom's thing, no bowling (although I'm secretely planning on taking him bowling). His mom now is too booked up all this month to have his bday dinner (she's retired) so she's putting it with Easter dinner. She's such a bitch.

So DH...I was just being a big ole baby last week after the root canal that the temporary filling wasn't right and got infected huh? Well, you just screwed up when you let it slip that when you had that tooth pulled last week you had them use nitrus to put you out for it! At least I suffered through my pain AWAKE.

DH was off work yesterday and I asked him to take dd to daycare and pick up her prescription from the dr. office and get it filled and pick dd up from daycare (I had a dentist apt in the afternoon to finish my root canal). DH pitched a huge ass fit about having to run all my errands on his day off. Seriously? Had I not had a dentist appt I would have had to have done all of that plus go to the grocery store...all AFTER I got off work!

Yes, MIL was PISSED when we finally got to her house yesterday at 2:30 (her dinner wasn't until 5) because she though my family lunch was at 10:30 so we should have been at her house sooner (my fam. egg hunt at 10:30, lunch at 1). Dh told her to get over it and if she was going to be pissy to everyone then we'd just go on home! She moped and sulked all day but put on her fake smile and happy face anyway. I invied MIL/FIL to our house for dinner one night this week (they've been to our home 3 times in 2 years)...she said no, she'd rather stay at home. Thank.God!

Yes SIL, DH and I have known about your and dh's brother's dwi since it happened. We have continously told you that it's none of our business and that we're staying out of it and we're NOT telling your parents, we fell that's your brother's decision. Stop freaking calling US and threatening to go "tell mom and dad" if he doesn't. And stop trying to drag us into it by saying "mom and dad will be pissed when I tell them you knew about it and didn't tell"! It's not ours or your place to tattle. Your brother is an adult, lives on his own and pays his own way. It's HIS problem. Not ours.
