Say anything
I am eating an avocado that I thought was ripe but I think it needed another day. Disappointing.
I am about 2 months overdue for a haircut and it is starting to get to me. I think I need to make an appointment for the next week or two before I go crazy.
Re: Say anything
I have a really hard time with avocados. I am such a bad judge of ripeness so I am constantly being disappointed by them.
I get frustrated with going to the gym. I always stop losing weight when I work out regularly. WTF? It makes it hard to stay motivated about going. I know about muscle weighing more and blah blah blah, but still. It bums me out.
Have you guys read Why We Get Fat and What to Do About It? I found it really interesting and it convinced me that I need to eat fewer carbs to lose fat. More importantly, it helped me understand why this is true.
That said, I just wolfed down a Snickers bar. My office keeps a basket of goodies in the kitchen as a fundraiser for the PMC ride. $1 per snack. I so do not need to see this stuff every time I walk into the kitchen, argh!
I love avacados. Ripe or not. LOL
This is so gross,but I am plagued by a case of geographic tongue. It is repulsive to me and flared up badly when I got pregnant. I thought it may go away after DS was born, but it is still bad. My dentist told me this morning to call my PCP about zinc supplements or steroids since it is affecting my ability to eat.
I just read online that it can be grossly affected by stress.
Good news- my ultrasound showed my breast lump was NBD. Tomorrow I check into the clinic and get a cortisone shot in my spine so I am very hopeful that my years of back pain are coming to an end, at least for a long time.
So maybe my stress will lessen now that I have 3, possibly 4, HUGE factors slowly going away.
I made a chart!
House (check, we got it! The rest is going to just fall into place and DH, god bless him, is taking over a lot of the hassle there)
Foster (HV tonight!)
Back (remedied tomorrow, I hope)
Breast (remedied)
Work (mid-February I should be a little better)
I'm glad to hear that the ultrasound came back clear, Punky. Good luck with the rest of it!
I totally burst into tears at my desk this morning for no good reason. Well, I'm tired and stressed and I need an actual vacation like whoa, but that's not really a reason to burst into tears at 9:05 am just because of a random voicemail. I've been trying to be better about not drinking so much wine during the week, but tonight is not that night. There will be take-out and wine and (likely) bed by 930!
I just sent an email to get Jack an appointment with a mobile groomer. I'm hoping that if he goes somewhere he doesn't have to be surrounded by other dogs, he'll behave. He's starting to get his Nikki Sixx look back.
Go you! I think it's kind of an interesting read regardless, but maybe that's just my nerdy self. Are you working out on machines or taking classes? I'm just thinking that the latter would maybe at least be more fun, though I know it won't help with the frustration.
The only kind of exercise I do anymore is play volleyball. I could do that all day, every day if my body could stand it
But, it's probably not a big weight loss tool. Now I'm just rambling...ignore me.
Other say anythings: I want to go on vacation but I don't want to plan it, I have too much to do at work yet here I am Nesting, I also have a bunch of personal to-do's and have to motivate to get those done too. Ack!
I love avocados and think I had a haircut this summer... I cannot fully remember. I need one but my hair is falling out like mad crazy right now.
Punky- wow, I hope things get better but glad the boob isn't a problem!
Rock- interesting book! We started WW 2 weeks ago, our problem is portion control (and I do love me some carbs).
My "say anything" is a PIP- the eye just doesn't want to cooperate so we are patching for at least the next 6 weeks (thankfully, it's only 2hrs/day right now).
We got to hear the baby's heartbeat yesterday. It really made things seem so real... but sometimes doesn't seem real at all. 5 weeks until we find out if its a girl or boy. This is flying by.
This was me a few weeks ago. Then I decided to cut it myself, haha. It's actually pretty easy to do if your hair is on the longer side.
...hello out there!

Punky, I'm so glad the lump is nothing. You have so much going on right now!
Mesa, that eye patch photo is adorable. I think I missed the story behind it but it sounds like things will be fine, which is good.
5KC, I have those days too. I hope you're feeling better today.
She's cross-eyed! Sorry, I thought I wrote that in the caption... guess I missed that detail, oops! We were told by Children's that they couldn't see/ treat her until 6 months and that didn't sit very well with me so I called another place and they took her the same day.
I missed a bunch of these yesterday and failed to respond.
Punky, SO glad to hear that everything is OK re: the lump! And that's great that the back pain may soon be gone too--I feel your pain on that one (literally). I had to Google geographic tongue; hope that's better soon, too.
5KC, hope today is a better today.
mesa, glad the baby's eye is no big thing. And she's adorable, by the way
She looks like such a happy baby.
DS sees a specialist at MGH Children's and it's actually kind of terrifying going in there. He sees a GI for his stomach and allergies, but when we go to the waiting room there are so many kids there have severe issues and I always look around and think "We don't belong here..." (although obviously we must haha). It just puts things in perspective, I guess.
I get the impression (from MGH Children's at least) that the specialists see so many severe issues that when I call the nurse's line because DS ate something that gave him a rash, they are like "Ok, just come to your appointment in 2 weeks."
It might be just me but that's the feeling I get.
I love avocados so much.
Punky- you have so much going on. I am so happy that you are okay.
I have five pounds left to lose, but so much toning to do. I was so nervous about losing my milk that I didn't really diet. Now that there are only five pounds left I would love to get them off quickly so I could evaluate the damage.
Here's a random one:
I think people who say they are "single and loving it" followed by a 10 minute dialogue about why they are sooo lucky to not have anyone to worry about but themselves and why relationships bring people down are anything but "loving it".
