I love spring!

I love spring! It isn't even officially here yet, but damn, I love it. The weather is finally getting warmer and with daylight savings time, the daylight is lasting longer.

And that is fine with me. I love it!

In the last 2 weeks, I have gone to a national park, a national monument, a state park and a wildlife refuge. Did I mention that I love spring?? Spring time means road trippin' time, and everyone knows I love a good road trip...even if it means driving all day and into the night. It gives me an excuse to use my camera. Not that I need an excuse or anything.

Anyway, I posted some pics of my trips on my blog. Click HERE to see them.

I plan on going to Death Valley this upcoming weekend. I heard it is purty out there right now.

I love spring!!! lol

You Are Cilantro



The bad news is that there are some people who can't stand you.

The good news is that most people love you more than anything else in the world.

You are distinct, unusual, fresh, and very controversial. And you wouldn't have it any other way.

Say What?




You Are a Question Mark



You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning.

And while you know a lot, you don't act like a know it all. You're open to learning you're wrong.



You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more.

You're naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises.



Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking.

(But they're not always up for the intense inquisitions that you love!)



You excel in: Higher education



You get along best with: The Comma

Besame mucho, damnit!




Your Candy Heart Says "First Kiss"



You're a true romantic who brings an innocent hope to each new relationship.

You see the good in every person you date, and you relish each step of falling in love.



Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a romantic dinner your sweetie cooks for you



Your flirting style: friendly and sweet



What turns you off: cynics who don't believe in romance



Why you're hot: you always keep the romance alive

I am fruity - hehe




You Are a Banana



You are mellow, easy going, and a total softie on the inside.

People find it really easy to get along with you. You suit most tastes.



And while you're very sweet, you're not boring or ordinary.

You have an attraction to the exotic, and you could show up anywhere... doing almost anything!



You are spirited, energetic, and a total kick to be around.

You're also quite funny. Your sense of humor is on the goofy side, and it fits you well.

Cleaning House Is A Job And A Half!

I have been on vacation all week, and what did I do? Cleaned. I cleaned every room of my apartment, plus the patio and porch. I must have lugged 10 bags of trash down to the dumpster (plus a broken coffee table and an old computer desk chair). So that could be the reason my back is in pain. Oh lord. I must have pulled a muscle (or 2 or 3) cuz damn! When I breathe in, it feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife. Ouch.

Not only did I clean, but I also made Valentine treats for my unit at work, and finished up a few little craft projects I had set aside from before. I organized my closet and all of my craft and scrapbooking supplies. I have done a lot of stuff over this week. Now, all I have left to do is laundry and touch up paint on the walls. I feel pretty proud of myself for not slacking off - lol.

Now, I am gonna take some Advil and lie down. I think I deserve break...or 2

The Story of The Soggy Cellphone ... Or Bathtime for Blackberry

I broke my Blackberry (oh no she didn't! ) Oh yes I did. I sure as hell did.

I have been having these memory problems, which my doctor has told me is probably due to my sleep deprivation. (more on that later). It is annoying, yet useful, as it gives me an excuse for being so air-headed and flakey. Well, I had gotten a phone call from my brother, which was short, since he very rarely has anything useful or informational or SANE to tell me (sorry bro - hehe). So, as usual, I hung up on him. Then I put my cell phone in my robe pocket as I was getting ready to take a nice bubble bath. Well, I went into the bathroom, leaned over to check the water temp, and SPLASH....my Blackberry plops right into the tub. Frantic, I searched thru the bubbles for it, and finally found it. I immediately shut it off and took out the battery, then I tried to blow dry the thing...using cool air on a low setting. (see I was thinking! hehe). I tried to turn it on (BAD idea, as I was later to find out....I guess I wasn't thinking too smartly after all), and it came on, then fizzled out. Blackness. That's all there was....blackness.

Luckily, my SIM card wasn't damaged. And even luckier for me, I found my old cell phone and charger, so I at least had a working phone. But I was sooooooo pissed off at myself for breaking the damned phone to begin with. I had never broken or lost a cell phone before this. And I have had at least 6 or 7 cell phones over the years. Bad me! BAD BAD BAD ME!

I have tried it again and again over the last 5 or 6 days, and the screen will come on for a few moments, then black out again. I guess it is broken for good.

So, I ordered a new phone, cuz, well, I needed a new one (one that has internet and music and all that good stuff on it - yeah, I am a nerd). I got it on Wednesday night. By Thursday morning, I was having a heart attack thinking I had already lost it.

I had a dr appointment on Thurs morning, so I thought I would get some gas before I went to the appointment. I stopped at Mobil and got some gas and went to the dr office. I opened my purse to write a check for my copay, and was shocked and horrified to find that my cell phone was not there. I looked all over my car (or so I thought) ...under the seats, in the back seat...but no phone. I was so stressed out! Cuz not only had I lost the cell phone I had gotten the night before, but also lost my SIM card. UGH!

So, I went to my appointment, and my blood pressure was like 130 over 82 (I am normally 120 over 80). I was so friggin' stressed out. My dr prescribed me trazodone (to help me sleep, since I don't freakin' sleep!) and lyrica for the pain. She basically said most, if not all of my problems (pain, memory loss, stiffness, etc) are probably linked to my sleep deprivation. So that made me feel a tad better.

I got home and looked under my couch, since my purse had fallen on the floor before I left the house. But no cell phone. I was in full panic mode by this time. I searched my bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room....still no cell phone. So I decided to look out in my car one more time.Just as I was about to give up and pledge to never own another cell phone again, I found the damned thing. Wanna know where it was??? On the passenger side, on the floor mat. Freakin' A! Am I truly that blind??? I guess I am. After all that stress, it was in my car the whole time.

At that point, I decided I should not leave the house for the rest of the day. It was just safer for everyone that way.

God Hates You, Westboro Baptists

I heard some news this morning that has been angering me all day long. I heard that that lame-ass Westboro "Baptist" Church group who hates gays and pickets the funerals of soldiers is going to picket at Heath Ledger's funeral. Why? Because he supposedly "promoted" homosexuality by portraying a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.

People like these assholes make me ashamed to be a human being. What kind of inhuman, unfeeling person would picket at a person's funeral??? (you would think that a group of hatemongers like them would be celebrating a funeral, not picketing.) That is just not right. It is so not right on soooo many levels. Who gave them a right to judge people? Don't they remember God's decree of "Judge not, less ye be judged?" Why don't you see them picketing at funerals of people who have played serial killers and monsters in movies? Shouldn't they be doing that too? I mean, if you are gonna picket one thing, you gotta picket it all. You have to be consistent (haha). None of it makes any sense whatsoever. They say they believe in God. They call themselves "Baptists." Assholes would be a better name for them. Yeah. The Church of Inbred White Trash Ignorant Assholes. Has a nice ring to it, don't ya think?

They have a website. You wanna know the website's address? It is godhatesfags.com. Yeah. That's really what it is. I checked it out. You wanna know what the "welcome" message says on the website? It says "welcome depraved sons and daughters of Adam." You wanna know what one of their little logos is? It is an upside down US flag. They apparently hate West Virginia, Sweden, Mexico, and a whole bunch of other places. They hate the US (well then move the fuck out of here, you fuckers!) They have signs that say, "God Hates You," and "God Hates Fag Enablers." I have many friends who are gay. God MUST hate me. Yeah right. How a group of people can be so intolerant and ignorant is beyond me. It angers me that these people think they have the right to go around picketing at people's funerals. Sure. We have a thing in this country called Freedom of Speech. But what about common decency? Whatever happened to respect?

I looked at their website, and threw up in my mouth a little when I read their "blog" about Heath Ledger's death. I wanted to leave them a little hateful comment, but I guess they don't allow comments. Cowards!

All I can hope is that one day when this world is over and they have to stand before God and be judged, that God throws them down into the pit of hell and they have to spend all eternity being anally raped by Satan.

Now that would be justice.

Went to see Cloverfield today...

Freakin' awesome movie. Starts off slow and then BOOM!

Disaster.....destruction....carnage. I loved the movie. My mom and bro didn't seem too impressed, but that's too bad for them. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a real nailbiter. I literally was biting my nails - lol. It was the first movie I had seen in the theatre in a long, long time. And what a trip it was.

I'm not going crazy...I'm not going crazy...I'm not!

I'm not going crazy....Somehow, I feel like if I keep telling myself that I am not going crazy, then everything will be ok. But, oh good lord, I seriously feel like I am going insane!!!!!!

My head....oh my head. I really just want a head transplant. Do they do those yet??

This dizzy/empty/crazy head feeling I have is going to lead me to a loony bin. In the morning, I am ok. The "weird head" feeling is not so bad. But by midday, I just can't take it anymore! UGH! I have had this feeling for like a month and it seems to have gotten worse. What the hell is wrong with me??????????

For those people who have never experienced "weird head" (for lack of a better description), consider yourselves lucky bastards. Cuz this shit is driving me crazier than Britney Spears at a Cheetos convention. I have been reading up on it on-line, and I am just SO glad that there are other people out there too who have had this. At least it is not just me.

This is what it feels like: When I look left or right, it feels like my eyes are moving faster than my brain. It is not so bad when I look up or down. It is this strange, pulsating feeling in my head that also affects my eyes and ears. I cannot tolerate loud noises. When someone is talking really loud next to me, my ears seem to shut off and I feel that strange pulsating feeling in my ears, too. Like a rush almost. But definitely not a good rush! I am almost always dizzy or feel lightheaded. I will be sitting at work looking at the computer, doing my work, and when I look away, I feel like the room is spinning. Like vertigo almost.

Maybe it has something to do with my ears, since an ear injury, infection or disease can really mess with your equillibrium. (and lord knows I am already clumsy enough as it is!!) Of course, one website says this dizziness can also be caused by an autoimmune disease....and I have one (or two - depending on which friggin doctor you talk to) of those. I know it's from none of my medications, cuz I have been taking the same stuff for a long time now.

All I know, is that this "weird head" thing I have is literally driving me crazy. I can't concentrate. I can't sleep. I have disturbing dreams. I get these weird "brain fogs" where I can't remember people's names or simple stuff like that. So, if I don't remember your name right away, I am not being rude. Honest. I just can't think straight!

One thing is for sure...if this shit does not go away soon, I am going to go insane.

It literally feels like this room is located on top of the ocean. I feel like I am on a boat - LOL!!!

It is funny, and it's not. I have a dr appt next month. But I may have to reschedule it sooner if this doesn't go away. I don't know how much longer I can put up with this.

And oh yeah. I am also going thru one of the worst RA flare-ups I have had in a long while. Pain really sucks. And pain and dizziness really sucks big hairy donkey balls (you can thank me for that lovely visual if you want ). My legs are stiff all day long. I walk like I am 80 years old. Every joint in my body is just a mess of pain. My skin even hurts to touch. My left knee is hurting me again. It felt pretty good last year after the cortisone shot. But I think the shot has worn off now -lol. To make a long story short, I am a mess - lol.

I know this was a pretty depressing post, but I had to get it out. Maybe I am secretly hoping someone will comment saying, "yeah. I had that weird head thing too and it went away and never came back."

Freakin' a - I am going to bed and TRY my best to sleep for more than 2 hours without waking up.

And please......no more dreams about falling off of cliffs or jumping into pools of boiling lava. For heaven's sake...please brain, please be nice to me tonite. lol

Me , cheesy? no way! lol

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

Just waiting around til my friend calls me to come pick her up from the bar - lol. I am the DD, but I didn't go out. I was just not up to it. I am still getting over this cold, and frankly, I don't want it to come back! But I do resolve to go out next year to ring in the New Year.

That is my only resolution. I don't normally do resolutions, but what the heck. It can't hurt

I have to go back to my mess of a living room. I am in the middle of "project organization." I am organizing my craft supplies and computer supplies. But to organize, you must first make a mess. And I sure have succeeded in that step - hehe.

Happy 2008!!!



--- someday I may even get around to revamping my blog template...but not tonite ;)

Merry Sick-Mas

Once again, I am sick for Christmas. How did Santa know I wanted a cold for Christmas?! So while you are all enjoying your turkey or ham and opening presents, think of me. I will be sneezing and coughing and shivering under blankets and eating soup for dinner - lol.

Anyway, I want to wish everyone a very merry (and, hopefully, sick-free) Christmas. Be safe out there! You know the streets are full of crazy drivers!! Don't drink too much egg nog or eat too much (or any) fruitcake.

By the way, A Christmas Story is on tv....if you miss it, don't worry. It will be running for a full 24 hours on TBS. If you haven't seen it yet (and if you haven't, what planet have you been living on????), watch it. It is hilarious!!!!!!



May your days be merry and bright. Keep your tongues off frozen flagpoles, no matter if someone triple-dog dares you to! And for heaven's sake, don't shoot your eye out!!!!


Merry Christmas!!!!

'Tis The Season

am very work-stressed right now. They just dumped something like 60 cases on me...90% of which are Spanish-speaking, and the most Spanish I speak is besame culo....kiss my ass. Yeah. 'Tis the season to be stressed!

So I apologize, in advance, if I come across as rude or asshole-ish to anyone.

This advance apology is good until after I am done with these cases , which may be a while .... hehe

Oh...one thing that made me laugh today is hearing that Britney Spears's lil sister, who is 16, is pregnant.

That's what happens when you have this whack-job



for a sister.

Thanks Spears family, for making me feel better about myself.

Home for the holidaze

I am all done with Christmas shopping. I even went to the post office on Friday to mail Christmas packages to my far away friends. Ugh. The line wasn't too long at the post office, but this one lady was just asking question after question. I was holding packages in my hands and just praying for her to leave before I dropped the presents. Luckily, I was able to hold on to em. Tomorrow, I am mailing out all my Christmas cards. After that is done, I will be all done with Christmas stuff :)

I thought the post office took a long time, but Kinko's was even worse. I went to make color copies and (of course) only 1 color copier was working. Grrrr. So, about 25 minutes later, I left with my 10 copies. Sheesh.

Anyway, not much else has been happening. It is cold. I hate going outside in the morning to go to work. I hate that it is Sunday. I am just so full of hate lately! lol. I got soooo sick on Monday. I ate some eggs from the cafeteria that tasted funny and about an hour later, my tummy was hurting and I got so sick and I went home early. I am not eating cafeteria eggs anymore!!!!!

I have a mess in my apartment. Between the Christmas craft-fest and present wrapping, it looks like Michael's exploded in here. Now, I have to try to find space to put everything away. I think that might take a while

Here are some pics of my messy room...






Punkin and Cuddles are now officially cage-mates. I put them together on Friday in a "neutral" zone to see how they would react to each other. Of course, there was some rumblings and pouting, but there was no fighting, so that was a good sign. There is still some rumbling in their house, but that is just the 2 of them trying to be each other's boss. It really is quite funny to see the 2 of them playing follow the leader. They are so entertaining - lol.

Here is a more recent pic of Cuddles...



She is just so cute!!!

I am so gosh-darned tired tonite. I realy don't wanna work tomorrow.
