rain rain go away...
well actually I don't mind the rain one little bit. its these huge thunderstorms that are shaking the house that are freaking me out. I actually saw a lightning strike the ground about a week ago, and now when it gets really bright and loud, Im much more freaked out than I ever have before.
Looks like we are closing on our house on friday.. yea. Its funny.. Jessie at work is also closing on her house on friday. She has had the WORST luck building and selling her homes, and we seemed to just breeze right though it.
*sigh* with out talking about the kitties, there seems to be so little to say :) that's ok. Im sure I'll get on another rant soon enough.

Apparently it is official looser connie day, and no one bothered to tell me this morning. All day I was on the wrong end of one thing or another... although.. I did have my eye exam today, and my doctor said my eyes are actually improving a bit.. so I have a weeker perscription than I currently do. Which is a good thing in one respect, but bad in that now I have to buy new contacts and new glasses. Ok so I already had to buy new contacts as I am out.. and well my glasses are now two years old.. so its probably time to consider retiring them as well.
I have also had the worst headache all day. When ever I admit to having one, it gives it power and becomes intollerable. I usually have one, and Im able to ignore it most of the time, but the dr was currious about how often I have the headaches.. and I stupidly said "well yes, I have one right now" and BOOM like someone smacking me on the forhead, it came on with a vengance. Driving home, I kept getting cut off by tourists. I then went to my favorite resteraunt, and got one of my favorite foods.. a falafal, and she went and changed it and put carrots in it.. and it was icky. I got a mini cheese cake and a big pink cookie.. and the cheesecake got all smushed and the cookie got broken... not that they didn't taste good.. but all just added to that looser connie day.
I so need to give up, take a bath and go to bed.

I went out shopping after work. Went down to salvage and surplus store. Its been around the state for years, but recently came to be near me. I particularly enjoy this store too, cause they often have something that works for me. Today I found a very stunning two piece dress that I fell in love with. There is probably no where I can wear this dress and not look overly decked out, but it was $20 and I loved it. I do need to loose a few pounds to have the skirt buckle properly, but that shouldn't be a big deal, and if perchance it is, I can just move the buckle. I also found an amazing white shirt that I absolutely adore as well. (typing behind a kitty at the moment.. forgive the typos).. anyway.. (ah.. kitty gone) Then I went to the dollar store.. its amazing what you can find in a good dollar store. All I got was some ribbon to tie up a baby shower gift Im giving next week. I then trotted down to wal-mart. Found a nice black skirt for 2$! and a cute sweater with daisies and bubble bees on it on clearance. So.. while Ive said I can't buy any more clothes cause Ive got way too many.. here I am schlepping in bags of clothes.. *shakes head* I really need to purge. and soon.
I have the morning off of work tomorrow - cause I work saturday - and I have an eye doctors appointment at 9. I need more contacts.. so off I go. I rank going to the eye doctor with a gyno exam. *shudder* but then again I rank getting my hair cut up there with that too, and I really REALLY need to get that done soon. Is there ANYONE who knows how to cut red hair in this town!?!?!

hey look.. im here two days in a row.. go figure :)
Had a very hard time getting my butt in gear today. Ive made a pact with myself to exercise five days a week.. well, that was hard.. and I'd end up on the weekend with two or three sessions to do.. so I made a new one where I would exercise before I went to work.. figuring now that I have an extra half an hour in my morning, it shouldn't be that hard to squeeze a 40 minute work out in. Most days Im able to do it.. and its amazing how much better I feel through out the day if I do it. This morning I had to drag my sorry tushie out of bed to even get breakfast. I was able to exercise during lunch though, but when I got home from work, it took every ounce of strength to not crawl right into bed... someplace I'll be heading in a few moments.
I had some funky dreams last night, about swimming pools, ticks, fire and a ferret. Bet your dying to know how all those fit together hun? :) I was outside by the pool - at the old house - reading a magazine of some sort. I put it down to talk to someone, and when I went to pick it back up it was covered with ticks. It was so gross it gave me the willies. I took it inside after shaking the ticks off, but I couldn't not be grossed out by it, so I folded it up to throw it away, which is when it caught on fire. I was walking it quickly to the sink, when I saw that another bundle of papers were catching on fire. I yelled to the hubby to put them out. As I was putting out my fire, i saw a small animal on the back deck - of the current house. I went outside to investigate, and it was a baby ferret. My own kitties came out one at a time to investigate. I was worried for the ferret's safety, but my own kitties weren't interested in killing it, just seeing what it was. We all just sat on the deck for a few minutes. I called the hubby to come see the ferret, but when he got to the deck, it was gone.

ok.. well its been a freaklingly long time hasn't it. and didn't I say that in my last post?? well lets see if I can do better this time.
Lots has changed since last I posted. I have been working at my current job for over a year now. Seeing as I wanted to quit on my first day, after the first hour, Im pretty impressed Im still there. I got so sick and tired of the commute, and with looming reconstruction at the house, I declared I was ready to move. I said I wanted to live with in five minutes from work. I looked on line and found a few houses that were interesting, but were out of my price range... this area is hoity toity.. Hubby and I went for a car ride to look around the area, and frustrated with what we saw, we gave up and went home. There was one road we didn't go down, and one day on a fluke, I drove down it, and saw a new development with a for sale sign out front. We called about it and was told it was under contract. Well turns out that the contract was broken that day, so we went to see it and fell in love with it. It was just inside the high side of our budget (of course) We decided we wanted to try to move before we sold the house - I mean come on.. we have five cats, one with a fetish for urinating outside the box, and another with poop so foul it would have peeled off the wall paper had there been any. We took out a home equity loan to do it, and poof, we moved. What an amazingly stressful thing, despite how well it went. To put all of your life in boxes.. *shudder* I do not want to do that again for many a year. My husband knew this, so he asked how I would feel if I quit my job (something I threaten to do on almost daily basis sometimes) and I said that was ok, cause the shelter is nearby.. We like the house, we like the neighborhood - despite the train that drives by on an almost hourly basis sometimes. The cats really enjoy having the extra space.
I also set up a home office in the new house.. it quickly has become my favorite room in the house. I spend more time in here than I do the bedroom (awake that is). It was one of the best investments Ive ever made.
Its also spring time around here. Last year I commented on how late it seemed to come. Around here, there is usually a day when it pours and pours, and then poof, the trees are all fully dressed in their green splendor.. well this year, there was no rain storm.. it just kinda happened. The storm finally came the other day, but the leaves were already out. It was a doozie of a storm too.. Lightning to beat the band. Even saw a strike hit the ground.. its pretty much like you see it in the movies. cool but freaky.
