Something about Nothing

Like the blog is titled: Something about Nothing - Nothing to really focus on but feel like writing about something.

I find it strange that 22 people have clicked on this picture:

Jess's Tongue

I don’t understand the interest. I have much more interesting photos than my tongue and teeth; wouldn’t you agree? Such as this picture:

The baby butt picture has received 137 views and in my opinion is much more interesting and cute than the tongue picture!

Eh, to each their own! Flickr hosts many odd ‘interests and people’ but like I said, to each their own.

Work has been so slow today. I feel like I am watching peanut butter spill out of the jar (I am trying to make that sound like the equivilent of “watching the grass grow” or “watching the paint dry” but I’m not sure my thought to’ speak’ process was sucsessful - please tell me if you knew what I ment). On the bright side, work provided us with lunch from Famous Daves AND they are treating us to an ice cream dessert! Oh, work spoils us so! I remember when I first started here (sept 06) I was told that more than likely I’ll gain at least 25 pounds because of the way MX feeds their employees. So far, I haven’t gained the 25 pounds and am still below my starting weight of when I began (But I have gained about 10 pounds in the last eight months - but even that number varies).  In any event I am hoping that there will enough leftovers for me to take home to Greg. I have to wait until 2pm to have seconds.

Last night I gave Greg a warning about my soon to be mental and emotional status for the upcoming week. Saturday will be my last day on the active pills and I can already start to feel the effects of the changing hormones.  I talked to Greg a bit about my dislike for the birth control and possibly trying another brand or stop taking it. He wasn’t too keen on that idea as we are no where ready on another baby and don’t want to risk getting pregnant again. And, I am not that keen on the injectable birth control, IUD’s, or other insertable means of birth control (I don’t even use tampons); so the alternative would be condoms or no sex. I guess I am just too picky because I don’t like condoms (I think I have a reaction to them) and there is no way in hell that I am going to give up sex. So, I guess I will have to stick with the birth control and look into trying a different formula. Let’s just hope the next formula won’t make me crazy like the last one (Yaz).

In other news…

There is no news. So sad, I know. But, I have received so many emails from my faithful readers (all four of you) and it’s good to know that you care to know the nitty gritty of the events/thoughts that I am unable to share openly. I just realized that spell check isn’t working for me so I do apologize for my lack of spelling skills Some of you I have communicated with via email and have either shared the password and/or explained the reason for the two passwords. I know, I am so difficult at times. I’m a girl and girls arn’t easy - you know that! Also, a couple of you have mentioned that you like my writing style; I didn’t know I had a writing style so please elaborate (if I haven’t asked you to already) and if anything I would think my writing style changes just as my handwriting does; depending on my mood and/or energy (or lack thereof). I was always envious of those whose handwriting remained the same and was so unique from mine, specifically an architects handwriting. I know, I am facinated by the oddest things (such as which hand someone writes with - facinated by the left handed people of the world). I have been told, in the past (high school), that I had good penmanship but I usually disagreed thinking it could always be better.

How sporatic is this entry? I know, crazy huh! I just can’t seem to focus on one thing, mentally, now a days. There are so many things I want to do, see, read, talk about, visit, etc.  No wonder I’m not able to sleep well at night! Although, I will say last nights sleep was better than the previous two nights (even though I had an awfuly weird dream). I have noticed that my lower back hasn’t been very cooperative either. It was so sore by the end of last night (at work) but I am also wondering if the capris I was wearing had a part in that. It’s weird, I’ve noticed that when I wear those specific capri my lower back begans to hurt; they arn’t tight (I can easily fit my hand between me and the waist band) on me but there is something about them that causes such discomfort. Why do I continue to wear them, you may be wondering… because I am too lazy to throw them away and buy something new (and too cheap), plus I am still too scared to buy new clothes that fit my current size (still wearing a size that is 4 to 5 sizes smaller than I used to) for fear that I will no longer fit them by the end of the year or this time next year or anything in the future for that matter. Yeah, being over weight a majority of your life will have that kind of effect on you. Yes, I can do many things from preventing the weight from coming back but if you haven’t noticed I am not one to be able to stay focus on things for a long period of time. Yes, I could use the incentive of Amelia but I don’t think that will really keep me motivated. But, Greg and I are working on this together so it’s not like we’re not going to do anything about it.

Last night, while I was at home and Greg was still at work or on his way home and after I took the pictures, I went through Nextflix and added a few shows and movies to my queue. I should be receiving Catch and Release and Happy Feet by tomorrow (I really do love the fast turn around time from Netflix). I also added a few tv shows (ok, just two: News Radio for Greg and Scrubs for me). I am starting to think that I should start taking advantge of Netflix because I’ve been with them since 2005 and haven’t really rented all that much. They have definetly gotten their money out of me (I do believe there was one period of time that I went at least six months without returning the movie to get another one). But now it’s pay back, baby!

Ok, I think I’ve done enough for today. It’s nearing the 3pm hour and I think I should try to focus on something else (if I can).

P.S. Barb, the email you provided keeps bouncing back - do you have another email address?

Of course we care about all you’re going through! It’s hard to read about the ins and outs of someone’s day and NOT care about them and what happens to them!

And how cool that you have readers all over the country!
