Update.........

Just a quick blog to say that my mouth is totally fine now...and I didn't explain before that 2 of the teeth I had out were wisdom teeth. The other 2 were back molars. So it's not like I'm walking around with a bunch of visible teeth missing. lol

Anyway...........so I got an xbox 360 just over a month ago and I am SUCH an addict. I mean really, it's sad. I got told the other day that I was really good-----for a girl. WTF? Seriously? I'm good. Period. Put up almost 4000 gamerpoints to win my first 360voice challenge. That was some hardcore gaming. LOL

Wanna add me? I'm PROLOZ.

Sure wish this stupid rain would end. Without sunlight I suffer. Seriously.

And I wish my brother lived in MD still. MI is so far away and we are so much alike and I miss him even though he calls me 3 times during his work day and then we chat on the 360 at night. lol

Let's see, what else? Pool will be getting ready to open up soon. Looking forward to that. Yard is greening up and lots of things are growing.

That's all for now folks. Later.

Pain reminds us we're alive.

So a few days ago I had 4 teeth out!!!! 2 of them had to be cut out. Thank God I was sedated though but still......I have a dental phobia, and now I'm all swollen up and my gums are killing me.......I was so pissed, I told him NO gas. NONE. So what does he do? Throws that stupid thing on me and says, this will loosen you up while i get ready with the needle. That gas made my heart feel like it was going to explode. I will NOT have that again. NO WAY.

They said no smoking for a week, of course I already knew the risk of dry socket and I do not want that. My sister said it's worse than childbirth. lol So here I am, close to 3 full days without a cig. A record for me. You don't understand. I smoke a lot. Like at least a pack a day. I get urges now and then.....especially after eating or when drinking coffee. But I keep telling myself that I came this far, it would be a shame to go back to smoking.

I took one out earlier and held it and the lighter in my hand. So tempted. But I didn't do it. I thought, okay---here you are at a crossroads. You can either light up and be weak, or stay strong and at least give this a good shot.

It's SO hard. I read nicotine is as addictive as heroin. And I've been smoking now for oh......15 years.

Take it from me, do NOT start. If I could go back to the day I would I would do things very differently.

Anyway, wish me luck---I'll keep this updated!

Tiredness

It's been a while huh? Sorry about that---I forget at times that this exists.

I'm soooooo tired today. I read until 3am, then got up at 6am. So yeah, 3 hours sleep doesn't cut it at 32.....maybe back when I was 21 and out partying all night, but not now.

And I'm NOT a napper, if I napped I wouldn't sleep at all tonight. So I'm plodding onward thru the day.

It's beautiful here today...sunny, 70's, blue sky---love it!

Hoping Mark comes home tonight with dinner so I don't have to cook in my sleep deprived state....lol

Show me love!

DST is coming!

And I couldn't be happier about it! I'd give up 5 hours of sleep if it meant getting that extra hour of daylight! WOOOHOOOOOOO.

Just put together my new trellis yesterday, it's so nice.....3 parts that come up into a dome shape. I just love it.

I wish it weren't so rainy and gloomy though. I want to get back outside already.

Monday, monday.....

Well it's Monday alright....my stomach is sort of off....it's dreary outside and Marks back at work.

We did have some good news over the weekend. Mark went to a big Outdoor show in PA a few weeks back....well he signed up for different raffles and he got a letter in the mail saying he won a Reflex Charger bow....he's so excited about that!

I'd like a turn to win something now!!! LOL Money would work for me! ;)

So I've been getting these little Crystal Light packets that you put in your bottled water....they are FANTASTIC....I'm converted now after trying them...why drink plain water again when you can have flavored water with only 5 calories that tastes super! I've cut my soda consumption by 75 percent since I started having these.....

Anyone else like them too?

Sunday--race day!

I love Race Days! Nothing better than a Sunday race. Go JEFF!

Not much happening today....rolled out of bed late, had some coffee and lunch, just sitting here watching the telly and I've got my feet kicked up. Mark is sleeping on the loveseat as usual.

It is nice and sunny today at least, that's always a nice plus.

I'm counting down until Spring, took a walk around the garden a bit ago to check out all the bulbs that are coming up already.

Well that is all for now.....oooo, Big Brother is on tonight! Woohoooo, I love crappy reality TV. LOL

Just another Thursday

Not much to report on today, I'm going over to moms in a few for fish and chips...YUMMY!!!

It's nice and sunny outside today, the pond is running and it sounds fabulous---I can hear it all the way inside in the house in the living room.

I was up really early today and I'm sooooooo tired already, there will be a nap in my future after I eat lunch.

My brother is coming to visit at the end of this month and I'm really excited about that!!! And this weekend my sis and family are coming up and I think we're all going to Heritage Days in Cumberland, MD.....lots of crafts and stuff.

AND, this Saturday marks the 24th Anniversary of our coming to America....24 years. WOW!
