Thursday bugs yo

Idea from
http://Laaneworld.blogspot.com/

Here's where I telling you what's bugging me and the comments is where you tell me what's bugging you!

My neighbor is driving me bat shit crazy! She and her husband are newlyweds and every time they get in a fight she leaves for the night - she's decided my house is where she likes to go. The last 2 times she's called me between midnight and 1 am. Seriously, wtf? I'm a thinking that I need to say no calls after 10!

I'm also thinking the abandoned house in the woods that pupster found might be a great place to live - only mosquito to invade out quiet

+++so anyone or anything got you all up in arms?+++

My thoughts

I've been very introspective this week... As evidenced by a few of my oneword.com writings this week

+++do you ever get wrapped up in thoughts?+++

The it's my birthday edition

Today is my birthday...
Yesterday was shit day!
I had someone tell me that I was hopeless - wait scratch that I had a part of my treatment team tell me I was hopeless.
I so am proving them wrong - and yeah I need an overhaul of my team, pretty sure they've kept me alive but I need more than heartbeats and breaths, right?
Today is all about new beginnings.
Choices for a new me in a new year.
Today I will walk because I love it and I can. (not because something in my head tells me I have to)
Today I will go to Starbucks and have tea because it's my favorite (not because there are no calories)
Today I will see a friend (shocker for this recluse)
Today I will snuggle my pup because I love him more than I ever knew possible.

Today I will be more than alive - I will live! Because tomorrow is worth fighting for (I guess)

+++how do you celebrate your birthday?+++

A Sunday meme

I'm sitting on the deck in front of Starbucks enjoying an iced green tea with 2 Splenda and a splash of soy (try it - you'll like it) and have an honest post I want to write BUT I am sitting in glorious sun on a Sunday morning enjoying a great drink with my best friend (aka pupster) and I have no desire to be deep and soleful

So instead f.riday5.com has supplied me with a fun post!

What’s something you were unreasonably forbidden from doing when you were a kid?
Ahhh by the time I was born my mom had raised 3 daughters and was tired I was not forbidden from anything unreasonably - my only rules were don't lie and don't use gods name in vein

In what area of your life would you say you have especially conservative boundaries?
I'd say I'm pretty conservative in talking about my sex life (yup typing that I cringed)
In what area of your life would you say you have especially permissive boundaries?
I will talk religion (they're all good if they make you happy) money (I got none) and politics (I'm opinionated but love to hear your side too)

In what area of your life do you routinely go over the line?
Well I'm OCD so probably many! I get obsessed with an idea and it must happen! Case in point? Please see the phone cases I've ordered this month! And hello did you like my cop out answer?

How many keys do you have on your key ring?
3 - my car, hubsters car, and house and the reality of my life is those keys are often on the opposite side of the door from me!!!

Friday fillins

Yeah so I didn't do a Thursday bug yesterday because I was just too annoyed - how funny is that?

here's the Friday fill-in courtesy of
http://fridayfillins.blogspot.com/2012/05/and_17.html

And...here we go!

1. When we DON'T ENJOY EACH MOMENT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH WE ARE WASTING IT
2. DON'T ALWAYS LET YOUR head RULE YOUR HEART.
3. It'll be NICE TO GET ALL MY COMMITMENTS DONE TODAY.
4. NEW ORLEANS is a place I always wanted to visit, but haven't yet BUT WE ARE PLANNING TO GO NEXT YEAR AND I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED
5. When I'm sad I LET IT CONSUME ME AND FORGET I'VE EVER BEEN HAPPY when I'm happy THE WORLD IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
6. I AM HAPPY AND PEACEFUL WALKING about my community THOUGH I FEAR THAT THEY MIGHT THINK OF ME AS THAT CRAZY WALKER PERSON - YOU KNOW THE ONE EVERY TOWN HAS ONE
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to STAY IN, tomorrow my plans include THE HOT DOG SAFARI WITH FRIENDS - WHICH IS THE FUNNIEST PLACE FOR A VEGAN WHO HATES FOOD TO GO and Sunday, I want to HIKE FAR!

***speaking of hot dogs - how cool are the ones I made for my in laws for mother's day? I'm impressed that it worked! I got the recipe here:
http://www.hungryhalloween.com/2010/10/halloween-recipe-slithering-snake-snack.html?m=1
But I changed it a little - I didn't use food dye
And I used biscuits rather than pizza dough because a pizza dough was 3.50 and 4 biscuit doughs were 1.99 (and I'm cheap)

+++what are you doing this weekend? And do you like your community?+++

Disregard

Have you ever heard of oneword.com? My friend Laura told me about it - I finally looked at it today. The concept is you get a 1 word prompt and 60 seconds to write. Kind of cool!
Today's word was disregard
Here's my writing:
Do not disregard your past it helps to set you up for your future. You don't have to dwell in it but at least remember and honor it. It happened it is you or at least a part of you. You are a sum of your past and soon your future will play a part of you too.

+++have you used one word? If so I'd love for you to leave your writing in the comments.+++

Mirror mirror on the wall

Yesterday, like everyday when I woke up the last time (I wake up a million times a night to go to the bathroom) I weighed myself - the number was lower than I thought it should be so I turned and looked at the mirror. It showed me what I expected, too much of me!

My first thought was that hubster had tinkered with my scale - he did NOT appreciate my accusation. I continued through my day - my therapist asked my weight, I told him I didn't know that I think hubs messed with my scale. We went through the whole story he too looked at me like I was nuts.

A friend told me I looked thinner

This is not a source of pride -- I can't believe them. My head shows me something different, how am I suppose to believe something I can't see or feel? Isn't the typical argument "I saw it with my own eyes" so why don't my eyes count?

+++do you struggle with seeing is believing?+++

Wordy Wednesday - barely

Some of my favorite draw somes of the last couple weeks. I think the reason that I like draw something so much is
A- its not competitive
B- I can be interactive with out having to actually interact with any one
C- its hella fun!

These are all things I've drawn other than the asl which was my niece and really... I had to snap the pic to send to my (deaf) friend to see what it was!

+++do you play drawsome?+++

Wordy Wednesday I am still married

So as I mentioned in my last post I had a friend stay over for a couple nights while she and her husband worked through an argument. Hubster and I commented on how the first year of marriage is a bitch... Even though we had lived together beforehand something about the official ness of it all made it feel like a prison sentence with no chance of parole (ok so I'm overly dramatic bit you get my point). I think how we survived it was the apology glass. The what you say? Well here is the story...
My grandmother had given my sister a glass and a poem when my sister got married. My grandmother (actually both and my grandfathers but I'm not bitter) passed away before my wedding. My sister gave me a copy of the poem and my own glass for my shower, she said it was from her and Mimi.
So I told my (newly married) friend about this and she loved it. I thought you might too :-)


+++are you good at apologies? I'm not but my friend patty is fabulous at it+++
