Today’s horoscope:

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Instead of thinking about everyone else’s needs, put yourself first for a change. This is not about being unconsciously selfish. It’s about acknowledging that love of others begins with developing your self-esteem. If you don’t take adequate care of yourself, then you won’t have very much to give anyone else.

—————————————————————————————

Today has been fairly depressing.  Really it’s just the mentality I’ve been stuck in since last week when I realized that we really aren’t going to be able to get a house anytime really soon.  It’s frustrating and depressing that my credit is what causes us to not be able to have a house.  I’m tired of living in an apartment and throwing away $900 every month.  Hopefully we can try again soon.

Today was the weigh in and I’ve gained 2 lbs.  Extremely depressing.  I haven’t GAINED weight for quite a while and it’s really depressing to see numbers go up.  I’m sure it’s got to be because of this mental slump I’m in.  Even when I work out, I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished anything “inside”.  Usually I would feel really good and energetic and happy after a tough workout and now it’s just “Blah”.  Well, I shouldn’t say that as if it’s all the time… it’s just been the past week ish.  I’m so happy for Lena, who has finally hit her goal weigh of 125 and looks amazing, and Heather has lost weight too and the other day Heidi posted “before” pictures and then current pictures and she looks awesome too.  I don’t look any different at all.  Obviously they must be working harder than me and I can’t make excuses for myself.  I just feel like I’m doing all the same things everyone else is, but I’m not losing the weight they are.  *Sigh*.  I am happy for them though.  The Biggest Loser Challenge #8 starts on October 7th and I’m definitely returning to that challenge.  This time my ribs aren’t broken and I won’t have excuses!

I’m going to Heather and Christopher’s tonight to watch the boys and am hoping I can get some type of exercise in there, even if it’s just a walk or running around the yard with them.

I’ve been balancing quarterlies this week since I’ll need to start actually running them next week.  Hopefully this quarter goes smoothly. 

Monday, September 22, 2008

Yes, it’s Monday.  Almost every single Monday, I end up having the “Just another manic Monday” song stuck in my head.  Seriously, like every Monday.  lol I had a really good weekend and so far it’s carrying over to this week.  Today’s been fairly slow at work, although I’ve already got quite a bit done.  […]

Rant

Ever notice how the government really only has room to help people who aren’t able (or should I say “willing”) to work full time jobs?  I definitely don’t intend to offend anyone who may read this… but what I mean is that it’s frustrating that people who work full time and work hard to “get […]

Overwrought

Yeah.  I like that word today. This has felt like a really frustrating week.  I don’t know if it really has been, or if today just makes it feel like my entire week has. Last weekend, we helped with Grandma and Grandpa Moorman’s yard sale in the morning, then afternoon/evening we had a BBQ and […]

Word of the Day… “Naif”

I use dictionary.com a lot when I want to confirm that I’m spelling something correctly… anyway, my point is that every day on their main page, there’s a “Word of the day” and I think it’s funny.  Today’s word was “Naif”.  What a weird word.  I’m sure people could often use that word to describe […]

New

Last night Bart and I went up to Larry H. Miller Subaru and about 3 1/2 hours and $30,000 later… Bart now has his dream car.  I can’t even describe how happy it makes me to see him in that.  I know it just sounds like a cliche “dream car”, but no… I mean DREAM.  […]

Kroeber’s

I always want to put pictures on here and I just never do… Here will be my first.  (I actually took these from Heather’s blog because I haven’t uploaded mine yet.) In Uniform Salute Christopher Hall, Kenneth Hall, Elijah Hall & Donald Hall Kroeber

Slow down!

Today has been CRAZY!  I guess I just didn’t really think about how busy it was going to be.  I knew tomorrow would be busy, but yeah… wasn’t prepared for it to be slammed today.  Today has flown by really fast and then about ten minutes ago, came to a screetching halt.  I don’t even […]

Grandfather…?

So… today I went to lunch with my whole family because my Dad’s father has come into town.  He (and his wife) live in Florida and to make a long story short, I’ve met them once in my entire life and I was about 3 years old.  I don’t remember him at all.  He’s never […]

August 11, 2008

Monday, August 11, 2008 Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) You can easily fool yourself today, inadvertently mixing up fantasy with reality. Additionally, you are so good at telling stories now, you can convince others to believe in nearly anything that seems real to you. This is a powerful combination for love, but a relationship […]
