We are going to the Beach! I can concur with Jen about the gas prices. That sucks! They are prejudice either, it's all over. We are going to Seaside on Thursday night, spending the night. Then, our usual place for breakfast, Pig N Pancake. Then a stroll down the boardwalk. That is always fun there. Sunday we are having Christina over for a BBQ if her and Heather agree to.

I'm losing it!
Had a good weekend. The weather was quite accommodating for us in Oregon. This coming up one seems just as accommodating, let us hope with a 7 day forecast that the weather man is somewhat accurate so far in advance. I have this Friday off to celebrate TJ's birthday with him. It's "his" day. I have Bunco Friday night. A two hour get away with a room full of women, no men, no kids. At church no less. He is having a hissy fit because I want to go. I asked him, "are we going to do something Wild and Exciting if I stay home?" He said he doesn't know, it's his birthday and he hasn't decided yet. I said, yes, well, Saturday is actually your birthday and you will also get that day to be king of your world, but his rebuttle is that he works all day on Saturday. Yes, well, if I stay home, are we going to sit on our ass and watch tv and then go to bed? He said, forget it, just forget it. Go if you want to. I don't care. Tatyana and I will just find something to do. I said oh, Really? You are telling me that if I stay home with you, you won't find something to do with me, or us, but if I go and do my thing for two whole hours, that you and Taty will find something to do???! He said, we might just play a game or something. I said oh, she would love that! He bailed his ass out of hawk before I sold it down the river and a quick recovery I might add. So, the question at hand is: Do I go or do I stay??? He also told me that on my birthday he would find something to do, I guess to get even with me. I think I should just buy batteries for my new toy. I might get a better response~
Karen is back today. It's been a good day so far. We don't know what we are having for dinner. He sent me a really nice email. I replied back to him already, but he won't be able to check it for some time. They tried calling him in for an 18 hour shift tonight, Not going to happen!
I have walked 3 days in a row, and tonight I am going to go with Tatyana. She was not happy that I went alone last night, but I needed some time to myself. I took her to Wallmart on Sunday and got her some panties and a pair of thong like sandles that she can just slip on, not ones that go with a dress which the other sandals are like. He didn't say a thing about it, surprisingly enough. Possibly because he bought her an outfit the week before and himself a shirt. I don't ever care, it's him who is the "tight wad". We looked at some houses yesterday. Nice, but out of our price range I think. I'm going to call the other ones today.

Friday
I'm sorry to hear Jen doesn't have much to blog about. I check the blogs often during the day, only when there is nothing better to do. Today is one of those days. Most of the excitement happened while I was at lunch, go figure.
Spencer quit, he is gone. Sireina got a new job as a DOA, that is cool. Everyone is moving up, and here I sit. Maybe it isn't my time yet. Good things come to those who wait. I hear that my next company I will be working for is hiring 24 new Admin's this next week. Could be me next, who knows? I will be patient and wait for the right time, and the right opportunity. I will miss Spencer though. He has the greatest sense of humor! I'm happy he is moving up in the world. Sireina is also one of those people that is inevidible to be somebody high up. Those things happen with a degree. Good for you guys! Laurel is out sick today. Karen comes back on Monday. I'm supposed to get my hair cut by a new person on Sunday. I have to work tomorrow from 9 to 1. The earlier the better. Then I can go home and die for a while. I have another cold. Yesterday I had 3 bloody noses throughout the day. Two at work and one after dinner at home. I went to bed early. Then, sounded like the next door neighbor was either moving furniture or the damn dogs were running the apartment from 2 until 5:30 this morning. If it happens again, we Will be doing something about it. He wasn't even there this morning, his truck was gone and some other car was in the drive way.
I want to be in bed I can tell you! Melanie is here today, but she is sick too. She feels about as good as I do.
My face is doing better today but still dry and broke out a bit. The weather is awesome, like Melissa said in her blog. I hope I am feeling better by Sunday is all I can think right now. My ears are plugged and that sucks! I suppose other than that, everything is great!
Teresa and I went for Thai food today for lunch. It was awesome but the wait was more than usual. We got about a 7 minute late start and that's all it takes there. Cleared my sinuses while I was there though. Next Friday I have off and I'm looking forward to it.
It will be in celebration of TJ's birthday that I have Friday off. His birthday is Saturday. I have Bunco on Friday night and he's not wanting me to go. I need to go and have some fun. I'm going to see if I can persuade him otherwise. I think I've come to the conclusion that I don't have enough fun in my life, so I need to find it in other places besides just him. We did have words about that yesterday and he didn't like what I had to say. I only stated the way I feel, and I cannot apologize for that, nor did I. I hope he will have a break through, but at this point, I won't hold my breath. I will think positive though, miracles happen every day.

It changed!~
The ham on Jen's blog changed from spiral ham to embroidery. Your Jesus cross stitch is beautiful and it will be when you are finished. And I agree after 12 years, that would be a tad bit old, and moreover, where to put it?
My face is still dry, and it is still breaking out but a lot less than it was all at once. I can't or shouldn't take the diet pills, but if I feel brave, I might just try 2 a day and see what happens, or not. It's either the Febreeze I sprayed on the sheets or those diet pills. I'm still mildly itching but I think I will live. I still don't think it is pretty but luckily no one said anything. Mainly, people are focused on my hair. That is a good thing if I felt like the whole package. I already don't like my skin to begin with, except when it comes time for summer, I do tan rather well. That usually helps dry out my face, but it makes me wonder why I even bitched about it before. Maybe there is a point behind all this? They gave me some medicine to take once a day, and I've been using Vitamin A&D on it after I wash my face and that seemed to heal it a bit more and help the drying out thing. This morning I noticed dryness between my fingers on the web part. It's happening all over I just am not paying that close of attention I guess. Maybe the idea is to not take the diet pills, but eat sensibly, drink lots of water and keep exercising? We did change shampoo, which was another thought. I got a different kind of soap for Tatyana, and she had an allergic reaction to it, broke out in a rash all over. After last night going riding on her bike, I gave her a bath and noticed on her bum and right between her legs on her thighs she had a rash again. So, I put the A&D on it, that seems to have helped.
My meds they aren't going to change. I often wonder if it's just me that needs to change? I'm irritated and frustrated with TJ and I am the only one who can change that. He isn't going to change, so that leaves me. That is frustrating. It's almost depressing. He is continually telling me I have attitude with him, and I guess I do, because I'm not happy with him. No pill is going to change that. It sucks to be with someone and be lonely. I have more than most. But what is missing is big enough that it bothers me. The more he pushes me away not knowing, the more I pull away. Soon enough there won't be much left I'm afraid. I don't know how else to tell him. He some how doesn't seem to get it. Maybe I expect too much.
Today Melanie is out, joy! Jeremy won't be in. Karen and Shannon are out too.

Guess What?
I do have a Dr. appointment today! I asked Laurel and she said ok. But, we are still 5 people short on this floor already, and that doens't include Vanessa. I hope she will be here today. I will leave a tad early and rush over there to find out what is going on with me. Meanwhile, Teresa has been gracious enough to give me some more Benadril for this. My skin is very dry and I'm still itchy. I've already been asked today what is wrong with me, and I was in smile mode. I must brush up on the skills of pleasing everyone, since it is in my job description. God forbid if I have a bad day, since my office has no doors, it is not allowed, or that is how I feel. I am grateful she has allowed me to go to the Dr. and Christina has agreed to do the mail for me today. The weather is great, that is a good thing. I am living and breathing. Good thing. Sireina said she is sorry for me, that was very sweet. Good thing I'm not Jennifer Johnson or the whole world would come crashing down. But, I'm not her, I'm me, and I am hoping it will go away soon.
In response to Jenn's blog, I'm not surprised you are a leo woman. I work with two, one leo male and they are All great people. I enjoy you as well. You dog is so damn cute! She brings a smile to my face just thinking of her in a Harley jacket, and the shades! What a ham bone! I saw a really pretty Rottie being walked this morning. If/when we get a dog again despite my reluctantness, that will be me walking the dog each night or pretty damn close to it. Lots of park trips. My husband doesn't walk the dog, scoop shit, wash the animal or take it to the vet for shots or trimmings of nails. That will all be my responsibility again. Lucky me. Taty provides the love, and he mostly feeds and waters the animal. He is good with them, just not the upkeep and maintenance that is required is all. Kind of like Tatyana. He doesn't give baths, take her to the Dentist or Dr., he does give her medicine like today, and showers her with love and attention. He really is a great dad, I just get to do the "dirty work". I suppose it's balanced. He would if he had to, but he doesn't so I do. It's all good I suppose. Could be worse, it always can be worse.

Benadril Day
Thanks to Teresa for giving me Benadril. It helped the itching that I am having. Bad news is my face is still ugly being broke out, and I don't need help with that. Now Shannon is out like Karen. Jeremy is out sick, and so I don't dare ask to go to the Dr. to findout why I am having this allergic reaction. I just hope it goes away soon. Vanessa is out sick today too, during add/drop week. Needless to say, it's a bit tight today around here. Wish there were a rock to crawl under. The other good news is it's almost lunch time, the half way point for me that the day is nearing the end. I will be walking with Taty tonight while she rides her bike. That is more good news, burn fat, get out some aggression. Won't help my face any, but oh well. Nothing I can do really about that. I won't look in the mirror any more than necessary

Thanks!
That was very sweet of Jen to mention me in her blog, makes me feel good. Speaking of "good", my whole face is swolen for the second day in a row. It seems I am having an allergic reaction to the diet pills TJ got for me, the ones that are $153 a bottle and these are the generic version. I'm a puffer fish without even having to puff!
Sunday, Tatyana peed on her skirt before church, and her panties and nylons. She said she forgot to pull them down. So, she wore a different dress, the one she always wears. Not a biggie, but she was being a butthead, which was a biggie since I wasn't feeling well. I had a headache that didn't want to go away. My face was swolen and I was trying to get ready for church. She was a pill at breakfast time, refused to brush her teeth for me before we left. She ended up with 4 Easter baskets full of candy of course. Three stuffed animals. We went for a walk, and her a bike ride after dinner on Sunday. Weather was tolerable and some what accommodating. I made the turkey, not bad for my first. It came with gravy, so I followed the directions, and it was really good. Dark brown turkey gravy. Made stuffing, had left over garlic bread and salad.
Saturday, I took her on an Easter egg hunt on 117th and Stark where there is a park, and across from the park is a church. They were going to have it outside, but the weather was not accommodating, so it was inside the church. They had cookies, orange juice and bags for the kids (like mine) who didn't bring a basket. So, it started at 10 and by 10:11 we were out of there. They had 500 plastic eggs for the kids to find and they cleaned up in no time. It was really fun, relaxing, and in a controled invironment that made me feel secure. The people at the church were very friendly and it was lovely inside. I then proceeded to clean like mad, get the laundry finished and run all the errands. Then, cooked dinner and took another walk. I walked for 45 minutes, I think I made 8 or 9 laps around the block in that time, which is way more than I usually do.

Exhaustion
I'm so tired~ I am now drinking a Pepsi. It really has been a smooth day. It has had its moments of hectic, but overall, not a bad day. I believe we are doing Red Lobster for dinner rather than Olive Garden, because we told Taty that's what we would have. I can hardly wait for their salad, biscuits and shrimp scampi with a baked potatoe.
TJ surprised me with new diet pills last night. The old ones only helped me lose 11 pounds, which is good, but not great. So, I am now taking the generic pills that were the ones for $153 a bottle, only the lesser of those. I do feel different and more energetic today, considering I worked until 7:50 last night, got home, make up off and in bed by 8:10. Didn't get to sleep until 9:00. The alarm went off at 4:25 though. Very early, especially for my sleep in day. I was ready to go however. Had trouble with Tatyana again. She sure won't do what I ask in the mornings. I really dislike that. I guess we'll have to keep working on that one. Maybe it's typical 5 year old stage. Being I'm a first time parent, that could be it. I don't recall having such a hard time getting up when I was her age. It wasn't that hard at all, I got myself dressed and all that.
TJ spoke to a lady at our bank who says we might be able to get a loan for up to $400,000 and only pay the closing costs for a home which would be $500. We could do that. There are two houses we are looking at right now. One is across the street from Taty's school on 217th off Stark Street. The other is one block over and up from our current duplex and it's a brown house and bigger than the other one. Nice location. I do like both locations, the one closest to our house the most, but either way is fine with me. I just want a big house is all. If we buy a house, it will not to be to sell it for more money, it will be our house and become our home. Has a fenced yard, which Taty first thing states to us "then I can have my Dog"! She cracks me up. Dad said I could have a dog when we get our own house. She has the memory of an elephant, God Bless her pee pickin' little heart! I am ok with getting a dog strangely enough, If I could just get one that doesn't destroy our property, and I get help cleaning up after the dog. We won't go puppy again for sure. Can't do that.
Doing Laundry tomorrow, then she has an Easter Egg Hunt scheduled at 9:30 tomorrow on 117th and Stark at the park. Not sure how I'm going to get it all done and her there, but I will manage some how. Tempie called me last night on my cell at work and told me they were going to color eggs tonight at 6:30. I don't know how to swing that one either, since I'm not off until 5:00. Might have to cancel that one and just focus on tomorrow's event. Maybe Taty and I could color our eggs together tomorrow at home or something. We were going to eat in. Not sure what we're going to do now. I would love a ham dinner, but probably going to have something different. I don't know how to cook ham, never have. Might be dry, that would suck. Never made scalloped potatoes before, but I can cook rolls! Sad hugh? Well, I have learned to cook chicken. :) Happy Easter Everyone!

I am ok with getting a dog strangely enough, If I could just get one that doesn't destroy our property, and I get help cleaning up after the dog. We won't go puppy again for sure. Can't do that.
Doing Laundry tomorrow, then she has an Easter Egg Hunt scheduled at 9:30 tomorrow on 117th and Stark at the park. Not sure how I'm going to get it all done and her there, but I will manage some how. Tempie called me last night on my cell at work and told me they were going to color eggs tonight at 6:30. I don't know how to swing that one either, since I'm not off until 5:00. Might have to cancel that one and just focus on tomorrow's event. Maybe Taty and I could color our eggs together tomorrow at home or something. We were going to eat in. Not sure what we're going to do now. I would love a ham dinner, but probably going to have something different. I don't know how to cook ham, never have. Might be dry, that would suck. Never made scalloped potatoes before, but I can cook rolls! Sad hugh? Well, I have learned to cook chicken. :) Happy Easter Everyone!

Orientation Night
I got to work tonight, Yeah! Not! It's been steadily busy and I can hardly wait for 8:00 to roll around so that I can go home and go to bed. Then get up at the butt crack of dawn and do it all over again. It's been a decent day, so it's all good. I even have the opportunity to come in a little later if I want to, but I won't. Sheri is going to be at my house at 7:00 to drop me at the MAX and so I'll be ready for her. It will be Friday and I can do this for one more day. Tomorrow is regular orientation, for days. It tends to get a bit busier.
Teresa left at 5:00 tonight and won't be here tomorrow. Took a floating holiday for Easter. Good idea, too bad I didn't think of it. I would have to be here, because Melanie leaves at 12:00. I do get to go to church on Sunday and also do laundry on Saturday, if Christina shows up. She said she would be here. She won't take any calls or return any. Not much I can do about it but hope and pray!

My Goodness...
What a slow day this could turn out to be. PS was down first thing this morning. I could have fallen asleep right here at the desk. But, low and behold, they have some of it up and running. I am tired though. It wouldn't have hurt me to work the closing shift, but Laurel is going to for me so I am the opening person. She doesn't do so well with mornings, so she took the evening shift. Tomorrow and Friday should be challenging, since I've just learned Christina won't be in those days either. The good news is that I don't have to work Saturday. I might have to stay late tomorrow being orientation day. That will give me ampl time to get my laundry done on Saturday then, thank God!
TJ had a bad night last night and he is really tired today. I hope he gets to relax today and Taty doesn't give him a hard time. I don't think he'll get the training wheels done today, but that's ok. We are going to JJ North's tonight for dinner, because it is Taty's choice for dinner and I was going to work the late shift so they would have the father daughter day, but I messed it up. Not my most favorite place to eat because of the old folks, and things are quite bland there. I think I can live with it. I suggested pulling the hamburger patties out of the freezer and making them with tater tots, but that's not what she wanted.

Guess what?!
My husband bought for me "Just Because", a genuine set of Amethist and Saphire (my birthstone) earrings & necklace. A set of each. Isn't that sweet? I didn't wear them today because I'm not wearing the right outfit, but I'm thinking tomorrow I will. He's the nicest guy, If I could just get him to give me a little he would send me out of this world! But if you weigh it from my relationship to the typical one, I think I have the most. Sex is not everything, but it helps. The good thing is God made batteries, and toys and for here and now, that is what I must do to maintain. I can do that. He cleaned the entire refrigerator yesterday because we had a leak in the bottom under the drawer. He has taken care of that, fixed it. I made an awesome dinner and I'll clean that up, just because. I have to do laundry this weekend on Saturday instead of Sunday because of Easter Sunday. I hope Christina comes back on Thursday so I don't have to work on this Saturday. That would heavily interfere with my laundry duties. I would figure it out. I have not sat in our new Sanctuary for service since the old one was torn down and I am looking quite forward to it. I got to shake Pastor Matt's hand this last Sunday and make sure he is giving the Surmon.

I got TJ's ring this weekend and wrapped it into bigger boxes so he wouldn't be such a smart ass and knowing what I got him. I told him it was Sherry's birthday present. It has his name on it however, so he might know it's for him from us. He got Tatyana an Easter dress and it was size 6, which is too big, so I took it back and exchanged it for the right size. It is cute and she will be able to wear it to school or church if she likes.
Got her bike fixed and training wheels off, but she is having trouble yet. She rode Jonny's easier because his is taller. She did balance with my assistance, she just doesn't trust herself yet. I will be putting the old ones back on her bike and let her ride it like crazy to get used to it again. It's been a while since I've let her ride, and when I take my walks in the evening, she can ride along with me up the hill and down the other side. The block I walk around is up hill and extra long. Last night I made 5 laps in 30 minutes. I felt good when I was done. I just needed some time alone and went by myself right after dinner. I think every other night I will take her with me. She slows me way down, she's tired, her legs hurt, she is thursty, she wants to rest. TJ won't walk with her because he does it all day at work, but I will. Good exercise, burn some energy and time together just her and I. The bike will be even better, she will get used to it and we can take the training wheels off again soon. Summer is coming slowly and I can hardly wait.
I'm sorry about Jen and her weekend. I wish he would quit hurting her over and over. Sounds like Eric has the same theory....Loved the pictures of Kayla.
We went to the park this weekend and had a great time. I got a lot done yesterday and today I'm tired for it. I'm making pork chops (thin cut), alfredo noodles with mushrooms, corn and for Tatyana apple slices with Carmel dipping sauce. We are also watching the Lost from last week, and we have the second part of the mini series we've not watched yet.

It's Friday
What a hell of a week! Glad, soo, sooo glad it's over. I will be relaxing this weekend. I think I will be walking too to help relieve the stress. That's my theory.
Sad to hear Melissa failed the frozen grape diet, or so I think that is the one she failed. As I posted in her blog, good damn thing she isn't fat to start with! Melissa is perfect, cute and adorable to put it nicely. Couldn't say a bad thing about you, except you don't answer your phone. I still love you anyway Melissa~
Not a good week. Not at work any way. Home has been fabulous, knock on wood. The weather has been pretty accommodating, but it's supposed to shower on and off all weekend. I think I will take walks inbetween all that. Tatyana's bike chain fell off while I was walking and she riding her bike. I tried to fix it, but it's stuck pretty good on the guard that covers the chain. We are going to get her a new bike, she has outgrown that one. She will be tall like her daddy. Going to get her an Easter dress this weekend. And a pair of boots. She has been broke out in a rash, and it has gone away, but I'm not sure what has caused this. They gave her a pill to make the itching go away, and it has, but she still keeps itching.
