Long time no random post!  I thought I’d give you a tad update since I haven’t posted in a bit.

As you can see, we didn’t hit 35 subscribers… I kinda feel like laughing at that, but I’m not.  It’s kinda my own fault since I didn’t spam Twitter about my giveaway, but I was too busy watching Mad Men… I suck, huh?  I’ll declare a winner today though, and post tomorrow.  I do apologize for being late on this!

Also, and this is bad… I spilled coffee all over my laptop!  The horror!  So, my laptop is in the shop getting fixed.  Luckily I didn’t ruin the motherboard, just the keyboard.  What really bugs me on this is that apparently when I got it, Dell didn’t offer me Accidental Damage, so they wouldn’t cover it.  I’ve made two payments… TWO PAYMENTS!  Ugh!  I took it somewhere locally, and not only is it $50 less than Dell wants, I’ll have it a week sooner… Thank goodness!

So, that’s it for me.  Just a random update to let you know where I’ve been.  I still need to do a NOTD post, which is coming in just a few!

Wow! I seriously cannot believe 2009 is over! Well, it’ll be over in a little less than 9 hours for me, but still! Can you believe it?!

I don’t particularly have any resolutions, which is exactly what I said last year too. I’ve decided no more resolutions… I only have annual goals I hope to reach. I think the only goal I reached for 2009 was to quit smoking. (Today makes a full seven months too!)

So, my Annual Goals for 2010 are as follows:

• Lose weight (About 32-37 lbs)
• Post to my blog more often
• Get a blog theme I absolutely love

I know it doesn’t seem like much, but I can’t think of anything for once! So far I’m still getting the hang of Weight Watchers. I’ve been much better than my first day, and it’s getting easier slowly. I’ll finally make it to my first meeting this upcoming week, so that’s a great way to start 2010!

I hope you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year! See you in 2010

I didn’t like it so much growing up… Mom made a huge fuss of decorating, and it all had to be perfect. Couple that with having a birthday not too long after Christmas, and it was all just kind of “blah!” Although, I’ve always loved Thanksgiving, and I’m not too sure why… Maybe it’s because Mom and I always sat down and read a VC Andrews book after dinner.

I’ve been begging John for years to get me a real tree, and he never followed through on his promise. This year he was definitely going to do it, and believe it or not, I’m the one who backed out! I realized by the time we were done, we’d spend almost as much as we would for a fake tree LOL! So, I just went and got a nicer, fuller tree from Wal-Mart than the one we have… This year will be the first in a long time that we won’t have to worry about seeing the wall through the branches LOL!

Overall, I’ve just learned to love this time of year. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, Christmas songs, baking, etc. I think now that I’m older and have kids of my own I can appreciate it all a lot more. And you know what? I can even see what made Mom so loco over the holidays with things being perfect… Even if the family doesn’t get it…

I cannot believe it’s been a year since I started my blog… I mean, I had a regular website before, but turned it into more of a blog a year ago.  Time sure flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?!

I don’t think much has changed in that year either… I’ve quit smoking, and I’m still smoke-free, so that’s a plus.  I’m still addicted to nail polish.  I actually cut back for a while, but now I’m back in action.  I need to figure out a new storage solution…

Next week is Turkey Day!  I have to make my cheesecake, but now I’ve been asked to also being a veggie… I have no idea what veggie will stay warm and yummy on the ride to my in-laws, so this will be something interesting!

I think that’s all of the rambling I can have for you today.  I’m not feeling too well, and it stinks!  Who wants to be sick!  I guess I’ll be happy I’m not sick over the holiday weekend!

You know, I swear whoever said “You don’t really gain a lot of weight when you quit smoking” is a liar!  I’d like to kick all doctors in the face who believe this.  I’m sorry, but if that’s true, then why did I gain back almost every since pound of the 26 I lost (at least 15 was gained back)!  Are you kidding me?!  I feel like a fat slob all over again, and I don’t have a single lick of encouragement from anyone in my house.  “You lost it before, so you know you can lose it.”  WTH?!  That’s not encouragement! 

Sorry, but I’m seriously upset… WAY upset… I’ve just had so much going on with my body since I quit smoking that I’m unhappier now with myself that I was before I even lost the weight.  I’m NOT happy with my weight, I’m NOT happy with other body changes that I’ve dealt with!  I’m just NOT!  Nothing I bought over the last three months before I lost weight fits… It’s all too small… Or I’m about to bust out of it… I HATE THIS!

*END RANT*

So, Monday I go to leave work and realize my driver’s side view mirror was GONE!  So, I get out of my car to make sure it hasn’t by chance fallen off… Nope, not a single shard of glass.  At this point I’m convinced someone stole it.

I call my friend to get the main security guy’s number since they’re friends, and I call him.  He said we would review the cameras the next day.  Which, we do… Sure enough, someone ganked it!  WTH!

Whoever the low-lifes were apparently needed it for their car, which is the exact same as mine.  Mind you, the glass was $20 with tax, and the whole mirror assembly is $45 plus tax.  Seriously?!  You have to case my car for 4 hours before walking up to it and stealing a mirror?!

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much action we could take.  We all know its my car, but the camera doesn’t allow you to see when I get in and out, and you can’t see my plate… And the camera can’t zoom in either!  UGH!  The security guy did spook them though, and they left property… Before returning today to act like morons. 

I’m seriously debating on calling the local PD for the town I work in to see if I can’t do anything about it.  I’ll need to make sure I have their license info at least.  But seriously, WTH?!  How pathetic can people be?!

Have you ever had a day or a moment where you just felt overly irritated, but didn’t have a real reason?  And you’re not PMSing, so that doesn’t count either!  Yesterday I just felt seriously irritated, and for some reason I blamed John.  Goodness knows the man didn’t do anything either… I just felt like it was his fault!  LOL!  I know, it sounds crazy and makes NO sense!

Today’s irritation was DEFINITELY caused by the kids!  How an 11 y.o. and 4 y.o. decide it’s time to fight over a PC is beyond me.  I’ve told my oldest to just drop it and move on… Be the bigger person… NOPE!  I’m in the car waiting on my MIL, and hear screaming that I realize ISN’T the radio!  I go flying in the house to find my little one in the kitchen throwing a fit because her sister is calling her a “baby” over the PC… Seriously?!  Seriously!  Ugh!

I continuously say I come to work for my weekly 40 hour vacation LOL!  It might not be peaceful and quiet, but it’s definitely not listening to kids fight all day!  Sheesh!

I’m so horrible about keeping up with this site/blog!  I need to get back on the ball with writing.  I’m not sure what my issue is honestly.  I can’t say it’s a lack of followers because I’d have more followers if I wrote more often, right?

I can safely say there isn’t too much going on personally outside of work.  Just really tired.  I did find out recently my asthma has decided to flare up for the first time in like 15 years, so I’m on Advair for it now.  WTH?!  I’ve lost about 9 lbs. that the damned Depo caused me to gain, but I still have at least 11 lbs. to get back to what’s been “normal” for me since having kids.  To get to where I’d *love* to be would be 21 lbs.  I’m not pushing for it though LOL!

Outside of that, nothing new!  SSDD around here!  Maybe I’ll revamp my look and post a review for you tonight… Add some new fave links too

Yeah, yeah!  I know I haven’t written in ages.  Truth be told, I haven’t really felt like it because I don’t think anyone truly follows my blog.  Not to mention, I’ve been busy as hell with work, and just wanna veg out when I get home!

I don’t really have much to say.  I do have a few gripes, but I’ll spare you those for now LOL!  Maybe I should make an effort to post more.  Even if just reviews.  I know I’m not trying to be Miss Popular here, or even compete with other blogs.  

That being said… I think I’ll go write a review or two now

Sometimes I miss my childhood… And the reason being?  I miss Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, and My Little Pony LOL!  I know, it sounds silly!  So many cartoons these days just leave me wondering what kind of crap will be on TV when I have grandkids?!  I mean, have you seen “Chowder” on Cartoon Network?!

My oldest daughter loves to ask me if this or that was on when my husband and I were kids.  99.9% of the time the answer is “Nope!”  But try to get them to watch The Flintstones, The Jetsons, or Tom & Jerry… Ha!  They have no idea what funny is!  The kids snub their noses towards such classics!

On top of cartoons, I also miss being able to just live daily without any real worries.  I mean, the most we had to worry about as kids might be the spelling test at the end of the week.  Okay, until we got a bit older, and then we had Algebra tests and whatnot.  But still, there weren’t any worries over bills, work, or doing laundry LOL!

If you could go back, just for a day, what age would you want to be again, and why?  I honestly don’t know what age I’d want to be… Maybe 7 or 8 years old.  Seems like a good age, no?  No real worries at all!  Man, that’s a life!
