End Of August!

Today is the last day of August & that's kinda sad. 8 months already over of 2011. It is a happy day though!! VERY HAPPY! The last 12 hours has been filled with wonderful news! First, Mike found out that we CAN take christmas leave! Sooo awesome, I'm so glad. (Though was kinda liking the idea of going for Thanksgiving maybe). Second, Mike DOES NOT have to pass the PT test to get leave! He was told it's a right, not a privilege! AWESOME! Then!!! I saw that I made my goal(weight) for August! Also, we're 12 days away from 13 years together!!! So, today rocks! :)

This week is going by very slow. Very Very slow! I've also been attacked almost non-stop all week by the hunger & craving monster. They suck! Staying good though (so far). :) Last week(Sat) I had only lost 1 lb & I was kinda bummed. I mean it's good since on Wednesday I was still the same weight from the Sat before but I was hoping to see a better loss. My eating is completely changed & I had started back at Curves. I was hoping for 2-3lbs. But alas, no. So, this week I started walking. I walked the dogs once around our block after getting home from Curves on Monday. Then last night, Mike & I walked the dogs twice around our block. I actually made it twice! It's not that long really (around 18 houses) but the beginning of this year I was hurting by house 2-3. I was in quite a bit of pain by house 6-8 & wanting to turn back. If I did a whole lap I was in major pain & crying. Crying from pain & frustration at myself. I made it twice last night! My feet hurt but I made it with no problem. I slept like crap last night & I had no energy for Curves today but I still got that done also. I'm proud of myself.

Mike's health is on track I guess. He saw the pulmanologist last Thursday & through the next month he'll be doing tests & a sleep study to see what they can figure out. Mike doesn't have high hopes for getting a permanent profile but we are hoping we find out about the scarring on his lungs. The end of Sept we will hopefully bring some answers! :)

Well, that's about it. I need to start getting ready for my doctor's appt. Tschuess!

Shello!

What's new?!?! Let's see. The dogs have been huge pain in the butts lately. They're very whiney & insistant! They whine to be fed an hour before it's time & lately at time they insist on a treat. Hershey will sit pretty, you ask him what he wants, & he'll look over towards the treats. These dogs, they are just too smart. I got to see some smartness from Cinnamon recently too. Hersh came through the doggy door & Cinn started going through while it was swung out (towards the outside). Of course when she started walking through it started moving with her so she backed up a tiny bit & bumped the door/flap with her head & ran through real quick. I was amazed! The previous owner must've had a doggy door too because I have no idea where she learned that.

Mike's car, he's finally getting it back again. See, he bought this new supercharger a few months ago & he's just been waiting to get the car back so he could have a friend install it. Well, Monday he handed it over to this guy & it was suppose to be down by the time he left Monday. Then it was 'Tuesday morning', then 'at 8pm', then 'Wednesday morning'. He wrote Mike at 7:30am to tell him it'd be done by 8:30. Thank goodness, I was beyond annoyed! I couldn't sleep in because I had to take him Tuesday (he didn't want to take my car because he was suppose to get his back) & I had plans today that I had to be late for because of taking him. Not big deals really but I've been bitchy lately.

Weight & Health- I've been kicking ass on my new eating plan. I'm getting all my 6 servings a day. Weekends are my cheap days & apparently I cheated WAY too much because all the weight I lost last week I gained again. I had hoped Monday & Tuesday awesomeness would cancel the weekend's bad but nope. Back to only 6.5 lbs lost instead of 8.7. It sucks but I'm trying to not soothe myself with food. Trouble is, I just really do not want a salad today. It's the last thing in the world I want but I get 4 servings of veggies with those. 4! 66.7% of my daily need I tell ya! So, I'm doing pretty awesome with staying on course but some days are harder. Today is just uber hard. :|

Hello!

Hello Hello! How are you? Things here are good. Mike's car is finally home! I was far past done with that car & it's repaint. I didn't really care when we went to pick it up either. But.... I have to admit, the paint job is amazing!!! The color is crazy awesome! They did a really great job, even if it took them 7 freaking weeks!!! Argh! But it's home & I have my car back.

Our weekend started at 10 am this morning. Mike usually gets home around noon but I guess since it was the last day they got off super early. We didn't do anything exciting but oh well. Our weekend has started. :)

My new eating plan....ugh! I am so sick of vegetables & I'm looking forward to relaxing a little this weekend. I literally have to plan my whole day of eating as soon as I wake up. I won't do that on the weekends. I'll try to get veggies in but I'm not going to worry about getting all 6. I weighed myself on our home scale & I was 1 lb lighter. Not a lot but I was expecting to see a higher number than I did at Curves 3 weeks ago. I should weigh myself tomorrow to see how I'm doing. Not that I've been super uber strict but 6 vegs a day has to have some good benefits. Or at least I'm hoping it will. :) Tonight I tried a new veggie, Butternut Squash. Mike bought this thing WEEKS ago when he decided he was going to be all P90X strict. He's no longer doing the eating plan & he didn't even get any to eat for dinner. He did try half of a piece & of course hated it. I didn't care for it either but I ate about 1/2 a serving of them. I may not like them but I still need the veg-ness of it. :) I definitely need to get him more on board with the eating. He's very stubborn!!!

I have pretty pretty nails!!! I'm enjoying painting my nails every so often. The dark purple color I got does not go on well, I don't know why. I put on the pretty pink one today & of course chipped 8 of my 10 nails while doing dishes. I did a repair paint job on them. They don't look awesome but oh well, they're still pretty. I love this color! Very vibrant & girly! :)

Week End

So, what's new......

Mustang. I seriously am so F*ing tired of this subject. First off, we were told 2 1/2-3 weeks. Then they didn't even get finish with negotiating with USAA til the second week. Every time we've been there it's been "only a few more weeks". Last friday we were told it should be done by the middle of the week. Wednesday we were told "oh yes, it should totally be done by Friday". Yesterday Mike was told it was ALMOST done but they were still waiting on parts. Um....excuse me?! You've had it for 6 weeks & you're STILL waiting on parts. So we go to look at it & while they continue to say it's almost done, it's still in pieces & the hood is STILL not sanded or polished. They were SUPPOSE to replace every piece & when they ordered some the original kind wasn't available so they got taiwanese shit that A) doesn't fit right at all & B) LOOKS like shit. This is from the mouth of the shop owner. The side view mirror holder has a huge scratch in it & they were going to leave it. So, guess what, let's write USAA & see if they'll replace it with OEM ones. A) USAA closed the claim, the shit is DONE! B) Why the F did you think it was ok to leave a scratched piece?! Mike started the day & most of the day so pissed & he repeatedly said "if it looks bad, I'll say. I'm not going to act like before, all overly excited & whatnot". Ya sure & guess what, same shit different day. Slobbing their knob & believing their lies. They are ordering new parts now. Meaning MONDAY they'll order them. & Mike still believes it'll be done probably middle of the week, no later than Friday. A) The car is not even finishing being polished B)It's still in pieces C)Parts are still not there D) you're now having them order NEW parts. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! I am so beyond pissed. Another thing, we were told the 10K (which is the biggest rip off I've ever heard, seriously) was TOTALLY going to cover everything. We were not going to have to pay a penny. Now all of a sudden, we have to pay the original co-pay at the time of the damage. $500! I am livid! L I V I D! So, you're telling me, that not only does the 10K not fully cover it now but you're getting paid 10.5K! For having our car for 7, probably more like 8-9 weeks! They know just what to say to him & he buys it all. Not only are we now responsible for the $500 but after the car gets home he's paying someone to put in the new supercharger & I think the car shop people have convinced him to buy a specialize cover for the car. I refuse to get a DSLR camera because I can't warrant spending $600-$1000 on a camera when I don't think I'm good enough but his mustang spending will exceed 5K this year. I can't write anymore, I'm at the breaking point.

Healthy~ My eating is pretty darn good. I went off the deep end last night but that's just because we HAD to drive to Tucson to see the car & hear their BS. Dinner & A Movie. I know we didn't have to do those 2 & I kinda didn't want too. The Help was a great movie though. Totally great! Anyways. I've done pretty good on eating. I 100% expected to have MY car back to be able to go to Curves now but nope. 1-2 more weeks at least. ARGH! The stress & emotions are making me want to binge on junk. :( But I felt SOOOO horrible last night. I was nauseous & my stomach was so upset.  Boo to that!

I'm loving painting my nails. I did the jade color but it did not look on me & even mike said they looked like shit. I said, well I'm not very good at doing it (because I do them maybe once every year or two) & he said 'yea, you'll get better'. Thanks for encouragement butthead. I do really love the pale gold. Mike said it kinda just makes me nails look a little yellow, like they have a fungus infection. Whatever, I like them & I'll probably put a second layer on them today. One hand is definitely darker than the other. I went around with a thinly painted hand(of nails) & a mediumly painted hand(of nails). Whoops! Good thing it's such a sheer color. :)

Welp, that's all. Tschuess.

I'm a Kid

In a candy store. My Avon FINALLY arrived today & I was so happy. I got one eyeshadow quad, some antibacterial sanitizer, & 9 nail things. A base coat, a strengthener, an whoops fixer, & 6 colors.

 Colors are: Jade, Golden Sand, Pale Gold, Powder Pink, Pink Radiance, & Midnight Plum.
My favorite by far is Jade, it's so pretty. The "gold" looks more like iridescence but maybe once it's on the gold will come out. I like the golden sand too but the name doesn't quite fit it. It reminds me of copper or terracotta. :) I can't wait to use them, especially the Jade. I seriously am in love with the Jade one. I would've named it mint or sage. :)

So yup, that's all really. The 'stang should be done Friday. SHOULD! I'm gonna go apeshit on someone if it's not done! :)
