BLAH
Ever just feel "blah"? I have been feeling like that all week...dont know why....Im not "depressed"....jsut feel "blah". There isnt really a good reason, although i am finding that I have been taking little things really personally and getting offended at everyhting for some reason....i feel like everyone is picking at me or on me....although they probably arent and i am just paranoid....so i am just "blah" instead....i will probably snap out of it at some point and Im hoping the approaching weekend will rectify the situation....until then...........BLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

frustration
I am SERIOUSLY the worst girl ever....
This morning was a frustrating exercise in trying to find shoes to wear to ARnie and Becky's wedding that match the dress that my hubby picked out (mainly because i am incompetant with picking out any kind of dress other then a plain BLACK dress.). I found an "ok" set of shoes last night and bought then. However, i felt like i had to give DSW a chance.
Now, buying shoes for me has become an increasingly trecherous event as i have gotten older. It seems that with each of my 3 ankle surgeries, my left ankle/foot has morphed into a non-foot shaped object that fits into only aobut 1 percent of shoes out there. So not only was i looking for shoes to match my brown/gold dress (ad brown is totalyl out of season right now), i was lookign for shoes that a) FIT my mishapen foot and b) i could actually ambulate in.
Needless to say, i almost lost it in DSW. When i get frustrated, i pretty much get a "fuck you" attitude. If someone was in my brain (or trailing behind me, because im almost positive i was talking outloud to myself), this is what you would have heard:
- Fuck you Thais for having no sense of fashion and being a crappy girl
- Fuck you MArco for growing up with 4 woman and therefore being so good at picking out all of my clothing and thus rendering me out of practice for even attempting to be somewhat stylish
- Fuck you ankle doctor for my non-pretty, scarred up ankle
- Fuck you ankle for being such an assshole
- FUck you bunk bed at Drum Major academy for being so fucking high up
- Fuck you Lafeyette College for putting us in dorms that only had bunk beds
- Fuck you stupid ER doctors taht misdiagnosed my torn ligaments as a minor sprain, thus having me walk on torn ligaments for 3 months
- Fuck you trampoline for fucking up my fucking left ankle for the rest of my fucking life
soooo, basically at the end of my subconscious temper tantrum/schizophrenic break, i came to the conclusions that trampolines are the reason i am inept at picking out shoes....the moral of hte story is NEVER buy your child or let them use a trampoline.
This wasnt the end of my DsW experience. I went to look at hand bags for this dress as well. Now, most "girls" wuld look for a hand bag that would fit their lipstick, mascara, various feminine objects, compact....No, all iwas thinking was "hmmm..... will that bag fit my inhaler?"
Needless to say, i wound up NOT getting a clutch and decided that i will leave my inhaler in the car :)
In conclusion, I really am a crappy girl. I have only cooked 2 times in all of 2009, and have only worn make-up 2 times in 2009 ( i will be wearing make up this weekend, so i geuss this means i have to cook 2m ore meals....hmmmm). But, this is me, and my poor husband is stuck with me!

so i am kind of addicted to the "house hunters" show on HGTV...i just love seeing differnt kind of houses. However, i find myself getting pissed when i see how much people are paying for these houses. I know that you pay a premium for lving in NJ....and i wouldnt live any where else. where else can you get to the city, mountains or beach with in one hour of your house? We have awesome places to eat, good health care, and zany people.
Tonight they were in New Mexico. Let me just say i would NEVER live there...every house and neighborhood was overwelmingly brown and burnt looking...actaully the house the people wound up buying came with 3/4 of acres of sand/dirt with it....very barren....
however, they bought a house for 244,000 dollars with 3000 square feet....and 3/4 acres (of dirt)......on a cul-de-sac....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......i paid more then that for my 1000 square foot house on a 60 by 100 lot......and to top it off, they were bitching about the price!!!!!!
anyway, i am hoping to catch one in an expensive area, like California or New York City so i can re-gain my pride and composure!

My post for today
Ok, so here is my boring breakdown/thoughts for today:
- I had not one, but two, grossly inappropriate patients today. The first guy is basically dying (sadly); however, his daughter insists that he needs 3 hours of therapy a day AND should go to rehab. First of all, we are an acute care hospital...if you get 1/2 hour every other day, you are freakin' lucky. Second of all, this dude is dying - he has end stage cancer, cant breathe and his HR wont stay below 120,even at rest. He is a Code Blue waiting to happen. This poor guy cant even really talk anymore because he is so short of breathe; yet his daughter INSISTS he needs to be basically tortured with OT/PT....people like this need to be shot.
My second lady basically screamed the ENTIRE time we attempted to treat her....she has a old SEVERE CVA, a pelvic fracture and a hip fracture. The MD order says "Please get patient OOB and Ambulate." WE couldnt even do range of motion in bed with out her screaming bloody murder! PT/OT at this point is POINT LESS!! Me doing 10sets of shoulder flexion is NOT going to get this lady up and walking any time soon....Poor lady!
- One of my eating disorder clients said to me today "You know how it is when you just cant stop exercising?"....now, i know this is a therapeutic environment, but do I LOOK LIKE I KNOW HOW IT IS TO OBSESSIVELY EXERCISE?!?!?!?!? so hilarious!!!
- I hate when people try to do sneaky things....and they dont get the point of why you were upset in the first place....whatever
- I love my dogs....they rule. Its so nice to come home from a long day at work and just have two bundles of fur be so happy to see you....its an instant pick-me-up!

I am trying to blog everyday...except, i dont think i have something witty, or exciting to say everyday.....Life tends to get into routines, which is fine...but it doesnt make great blogging materials.
For instance, my day:
woke up, went to work, treated a bazillion patients, including my somewhat cranky gorup today, left owrk, helped babysit for 45 minutes, drove home, went to dinner, took down the kayaks, took a shower, fed the dogs (late, sorry puppies), sat my ass on hte couch to blog, stalk people on Facebook, check the tabloids (and CNN and Huffington) and watch TV.....
Not great bloggin materials...im sure you all are fast asleep. Hopefully i will have greater materials for tomorrow...perhaps some pictures from LBI i will steal from Merry or Angie or some pictures of MAco and I trying to teach Angie how to ride a bike (also interesting)....we'll see!

Guilty Pleasure #5
TMZ.com....and people.com....and wonderwall....and other random gossip sites.
Yes, I, Thais Kristina Petrocelli Migliaro, a person of sound mind and some intelligence, admit to loving to read the gossip websites.
It all started with my closeted reading of PEOPLE magazine. I seem to buy this magazine every week. I absoltly refuse to get a subscription, because i should be reading more intellectual magazines such as TIME or Newsweek. However, I love people magazine and can not resist buying it when i see it on the shelf (unless brad or angelina are on the cover, becuase frankly, they are dead to me after the jennifer aniston fiasco) There is nothing i like better then to come home from shopping, unpack all my stuff and then sit down on my couch and read my People magazine.
Well, my love for people magazine, in addition to my sometimes boredom/avoidance at my old job led to my addiction to people.com, as the state of nj had not blocked to this site. I love this site. For some reason, i enjoy seeing what Jessica Simpson ate for dinner, or the latest Jon and KAte fighting.....Its sick, i know. This past week, my BIL told me about TMZ...which i now check 4-5 times per day!!!! I think what also pushed my need to read the gossip sites is also my Other guilty pleasure of watching crappy reality shows/train-wreck TV, such as The Duggers, Jon and KAte, Girls NExT Door, etc etc (i have even watched the Tori Spelling show when home sick...i am not proud of it, but really, there is nothing on during the day).
Now, i do stay away from sites such as "ok" and "national enquire" and " US Weekly", as i feel those are less reputatble....not like people.com is more reputable, but i feel like they have better info.
yes, i am sad and pathetic....i could be spending my time on-line pursuing a masters degree or learning a new language...instead i am searching reading about Katie Holmes latest hair style......so so sad....

Back from Vaca
We just returned from a FABULOUS week at LBI. We rented a house with my BIL, SIL, and Big E. The 6 of us had an awesome time, despite the weather. There was really only one day that was a total "washout", but we managed to keep busy! We did all of the things that i love to do at LBI, including eating at Skipper Dipper 3 times!! (not that i really had to twist any one's arms to ea ice cream). WE all got a little burnt (ok, chris got fried) on Thursday, but it was a perfect beach day.
So glad that my family got to spend time with me in a place that i have been going my whole life and love so much! CAnt wait to go back!
(...wow, did i just actaully write a positive, non-hostile blog post? Vacation sure did me some good!)

light bulbs
As many of you know, I HATE change...i really do....I get all sorts of stressed and rebel against it...usually things turn out ok and i worry for nothing....
I think that is why i am so upset about the new energy saving light bulbs.
yes, i realize i am psychotic.
So, you know those "energy saving" light bulbs you can buy now that are shaped retardly and apparently last 2 years (which I think it TOTAL BULLSHIT!)? I HATE THEM!!! They are so so freakin' ugly! Light bulbs hsould be shaped like....LIGHT BULBS!!!! Thomas Edison's invention has lasted over a hundred year...why fuck with success, I ask you?!
I think it the shape of the "new" light bulbs that pisses me off the most....it is so ugly! And they are so ridiculously bright! Even though it says "60 watts"...its like 100 watts!! AND EXPENSIVE!! You hsould be able to buy light bulbs at the dollar store, as far as i am concerned...we paid $9.00 for two of those ugy contraptions!!! WTF!?
yes, i know i have lost it....I actually got into a lengthy arguement/temper tantrum in Target when my husband "insisted" on buying them becuase they are energy conscious, environmentally sounds, blah, blah blah, blah........I think the words "FUCK THE ENVIRONMENT" actually came out of my mouth.
Needless to say, i lost the arguement (temper tantrum) and we now own ugly-shaped, non thomas-edison, over-priced, way-too-bright, "environmentally" friendly lightbulbs....
like i said "fuck the environment"........I HATE CHANGE!

Things that annoying me
Ok, this is possibly me being over critical or over dramatic (things i can do quite well)...however, I just need to vent.
Now, I understand that everyone in this country has their own opionion on things and I respect that...believe it or not, i do...Most everyone knows I am a bleeding heart liberal. I understand that many people dont hold that value. The first thing we are always taught as children is to never talk politics, as it just brings out arguements and you are never going to change anyone's opinions....case in point, i know that my bro-in-law and sis-in-law are pretty much republicans...and yet they are some of my best friends....we just dont talk politics (or if we do, its just them making fun of me...in a humorous, non-competative way).
So, I log onto Facebook today and someone I went to college with must have been bored and took all of those stupid quizzes. Now, I try to keep facebook light-hearted, as it is a social networking sight basically for people-stalking and boredom. Granted, I have my own opionions....but i dont post messages about it, i dont take "quizzes" etc.....
So this person I went to college took all of these "opinion" polls and they pop up on my homepage...first off , i had when people take more then one quiz at a time on facebook,becuase it clogs up the status report thingies.....secondly, this perons took all hot button "social issue" quizzes.....
The first one is "I dont agree with assisted suicide" with a huge parargrapg narative....ok, while i dont agree, that one ill give you....
The second one is about "abortion"...now, as everyone probably knows, I am pro-choice.....however, i do not go around advertising that on Facebook, because that is such a hot button issue and not something I wish to discuss on facebook.....well this person (of course) Check "i do not agree with abortion" and then there is another huge paragraph explanation.
The third one was "gay marrige".....and you can only guess that this person is OF COURSE, against gay marriage.
Well, at this point I have had enough and my bleeding liberal heart is bleeding some more....and since I'm a loser, I think the best pay back is to go ahead and click that i am Pro-gay marriage (which I am----they are people just like you and I).....I had just reached my breaking point and played into the "Game"....It just pisses me off because this particular person (who i doubt is reading this blog because a) many of my prior posts are equally offensive, im sure and b) Im pretty positive that I only have 5 regular readers {chris, merry, bourtney erica and amy} and 3 occasional other readers {family members} who just read my blog to see if i am being offensive ) was like BEST FRIENDS with a person who was gay in college and, if my memory serves me correctly, even WENT to a gay club with us in college ....and now she is say that shit on facebook?!? WTF!? Its like saying "oh you are my good friend, i love hanging with you, your so fun...but i dont think you deserve that same rights as me, becuase i am a conservative straight christan and am more entitled to basic human rights then you are because i am better because I was born genetically pre-determined to like people of the opposite sex"...blah blah blah...I am actually really proud of myself because i didnt post a smart-ass comment on her facebook site or a smart ass comment as my status...like anyone really cares, because im sure they dont....but STILL!!
ok, so i guess this rant makes no sense to any one but me, and if i have offended any one, i dont really give a flying fuck. I do oddly feel better though...hmmm....ok, enough "politics" for awhile...back to talking about the weather!

She's a Killer!!! (pronouced "KEEL -- ER" with a bad southern hick redneck accent)
I put this picture up because you can see how ferocious Chloe is...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........look at her lion face.............she is deadly!!!
Ok, may be not.
However, as of June 3rd, 2009, its Chloe - 3, Cute furry Bunnies - 0.
Chloe has been catching and killing the bunnies that dare enter 132 Thomas ST. yard space. I am somewhat proud of her.....those bunnies are fast and Chloe is less then athletics. In fact she is famous for needing "rest breaks" when we walk her to the park (less then a mile away). but somehow she manages to get these bunnies in short bursts of adreneline.
I also feel bad for the bunnies as well. Somehow it is my job to scoop up the dead bunnies and dispose of them...mostly becuase my husband cant handle blood and guts too well....i have finally managed to get him to hold the "body bag". Im not going to lie, but it kind of stinks coming home from work to dispose of bunny bodies....oh well! hopefully the body count wont continue to climb!

my tummy
I hate my tummy...and all the gastrointestinal parts that go with it.
I had the PLEASURE of an Endoscopy and a Sigmoidoscopy today...for all of oyu non-medical people, that would be cameras in both ends....NOT FUN!!!!!!!!!!
So, basically i was up all night anxious about the procedure, then got up at 5 am to do the prep and went to the hospital for 7 30.....needless to say,i am a bit tired.
And of course, what are the results? pretty much nothing i didnt know before....i have GERD, gastritis, duodenitis, proctitis - which basically means that my gastric system is irritated....no duh! The only new thing i learned is that i have a hiatal hernia, which is very common...which, frankly is almost comforting because i have been having chest pain for over a year and just thought it was anxiety and/or a heart problem i didnt want to know aobut...but surprise, its a hiatal hernia, which you can basically do nothing about...but at least im not dying or having major heart and/or panic attacks.....
and now my stomach is still hurting me this evening, even though i have been out of the procedure for 12 hours.....and i basically feel like im still at square one....blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
at least i have my loving hubby, who has taken good care of me all day :)

The only new thing i learned is that i have a hiatal hernia, which is very common...which, frankly is almost comforting because i have been having chest pain for over a year and just thought it was anxiety and/or a heart problem i didnt want to know aobut...but surprise, its a hiatal hernia, which you can basically do nothing about...but at least im not dying or having major heart and/or panic attacks.....
and now my stomach is still hurting me this evening, even though i have been out of the procedure for 12 hours.....and i basically feel like im still at square one....blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
at least i have my loving hubby, who has taken good care of me all day :)

I RulE!
Why do I rule? Take a look at my Saturday project:
ok I realizse its upside down, but i dont have the patience to flip it right side up.
that is the GIANT half dead rose bush I took out of the side of my house, formally known as "the jungle " (and not the one with dead animals).....I took this out all by myself..I RULE....it took me 45 minutes, a minor leg wound, "vinyl" burn from falling and rubbing my leg against the side of the house, and a lot of sweat, but I popped that sucker out! Needless to say I was very very proud of myself....I personally HATE to garden and do yard work.....But since i am not a mom, i didnt really have a good excuse to sit on my butt this weekend, so I attacked the yard...MArco nd I have prett much neglected the outside of the house for the past 3 years because we hate outdoor work. We have a landscape guy coming in to do the front where we took out all of the bushes out, but decided to try and do something with the backyard outselves, because hopefully in 3-4 years we will have an addition going on and will have to re-do the landscaping in the backyard entirely.
It took my 2 hours to mow the lawn, because of the rain.....and then i moved onto the "jungle" portion on the side of the house...this is the finished product...

guilty pleasure
Guilty Pleasure #4 - Britney Spears
Yes, I am ashamed to type this...it was actually almost my guilty pleasure number 1, but i talked myslef out of admiting how much i like her and her music....but i've come around, because i dont think i am alone.
i have liked her since "oh baby baby" came out when i was in High school...there is just comething genious about shaking your ass in a slutty school girl outfit....yes, i realize that she has no musical talent whatsoever and as a person who is somewhat musical, i should hate her and admonish her for spreading her digitallymastered crap all over the airwaves and taking attendion away from REAL musicians/artist.......
but whatever....her songs are catchy, seductive and freakin' fun...there is nothing like singin "toxic" or "oops i did it again" at the top of you lungs.....when britney was crazy, i actually felt bad for her...I was rooting for her....the poor girl jsut needed some freakin' lithium!!!! Now i actually have recently downloaded "circus" "womenizer" and even "If you seak Amy" --which, by the way, is a shitty and genious song at the same time; however, i love it.....sad, sad, sad...i dont even LIKE club music- go figure!
So , that is my latest guilty pleasure....hopefully you all have some sort of respect left for me!

my stomach
yes, its 3:38am on thursday morning...during the week....and i have to work in like 4 hours...why am I up, do yiu ask?
that would be my stupid stomach...i hate it....i have been away for 1 and half hours with my stupid stomach, occasionalyl running ot the bathroom at top speed.....i nearly broke the dog's nose with the last run, so i decided to cmap out on the couch for awhile in case these is something left in my body, which cant be possible, but then again....
I hate my stomach. This has been its status quo pretty much my entire life....I have memories dating back as far as the age of six of getting bad stomachaches, sour stomach and having ot run for hte bathroom...as i have aged, i have added the joys of indigestions and occasional gallbladder pain and nausea....If i have to hear ONe more time when i feel nauseous "oh are oyu pregnant?" I am goig to fucking punch that person....i get nauseous at least 1 time per week.
now, my husband says its becasue i am neuotic...which i am...and there isa direct coorelation to when i am upset and have stomach issues...he is correct...when iam upset or depressed about something, i dont get depressed - my stomach starts to bother me...however, there are those times when there is NO correlation and my body just fuckin' hates me....like tonight.....believe me, i was stressing about nothing when i was wnjoying a nice deep slumber in htis wonderful sleeping weather.....and its not like i had a hard night - i wen to choir (which i enjoy), and then sat my ass on the couch and watched mindless TV shows (which i also enjoy)....no stress!!!
I am guessing this time it is food related---only im not realyl sure what piece of food...hmphhhh.....
ok, well, gotta end this blog becuase my stomach is again killing me...lthanks for listening ot me bitch...im sure htis blog will make no sense in the am, but what ever...later

am i ever going to grow out of this?
so, I am the biggest klutz in the world...those of you who know me can stop laughing now....yes, i realize that i am pointing out the obvious...but seriously...
Growing up, people would always say to my mom "oh she will grow out of this" " its just growing pains" " she is just adjusting to a growing body" (does it count that my waist size is still growing secondary to my love of yummy food? probably not)....well, i am now 27 and half (GASP!) and i am still the world's largest klutz! It gets embarrasing at work because much of my job involves teaching patients how to SAFELY get around the bathroom and the house with out falling....and i frequently trip during my demos....i try to play it off, but my patients arent that dumb.
This week my klutziness was in high drive. Wednesday night, while feeding my dogs, I managed to wack my fore head so hard on my table that i still have a lump and forehead pain. I actually CRIED for 30 minutes because it hurt so bad...who does this? how could i not see the freakin' table in front of me? How could i hit it with that kind of force???unbelievable...actually it was believable considering i once gave myself a concussion by reaching for a broom in my mother's kitchen and smacking my head on her cabinet.....when i was 24....
So I was recovering from my head injury when Marco and I went to the movies yesterday. Of course it was beautiful out and i was wearing flip flops (with a 1 inch platform - i know, not a smart choice, but my toes needed freedom afte a long winter or socks and shoes)....what do i do? I miss one of the steps in the movie theater, twist my (bad) ankle, some how get road rash from my knee rubbing the banister, and bruise myleft hip by hitting it on the same banister. If marco didnt stop my fall, I would have tumbled down the entire flight of stairs!!
People are always being like "thais, what is wrong with you?" or "pay attention, stupid!" ...ok maybe they dont say "stupid" but i know they are thinking it. I am telling you, i DO pay attention....there are time when i am traversing rough terrain when i actually have to think in my head "right foot, left foot".....Thank god I took 13 years of ballet (yes, you can start laughing now...erica was there...she has many stories...just imagine the hippos in Fantasia)...could you imagine how much MORE of a klutz I would be if I didnt take ballet?
So, is there hope for me? any suggestions? Or am I jut doomed for the rest of my life.....i think i may be doomed...Im going to die by knocking my self out with the refridgorator door or something like that....uggg

whiny bitches
So I have been home with the stomach ick for two days....It is now 220pm and there is NOTHING to watch on TV....except those train-wreck shows such as Baby Story.....which, of course, like a train wreck, it is a horrific thing but you cant help but watch!
Today there is this crazy lady who already has a sosn who is only 1 years old and is currently getting ready to pop out triplets.....her and he husband decided when their 1st son was 3 months old, they hsould go back to the fertility doctor and try to have another because they wanted their son to have a playmate...low and behold, they had triplets, as tend to hapen with fertility treatment....
so this entire episode this woman has been crying and whiny that she "didnt know it was going to be so hard" , " i dont know how ia m going to manage" and she feel her first son will "not have a normal childhood" and will "be overshadowed" by the arrival of triplets...she also movced aBACK in with her poor parents for the last 3 weeks of her pregnancy because she couldnt deal.....now she is screaming at the nurse because her 1 year old is not allowed back in labor and delivery to "hang out" ...seriously...now she is exclaim at how she cant belive how "jealous" her one year old is....omg....................................ok, now i know my tolerance for baby-crazy people is somewhat low.......ok, its actually nil.....but COME ON!!!!!!!!! Did you actually htink it would be EASY to jsut pop out 3 more kids and take care of a one year old? Shouldnt these be questions that you and your husband should discuss BEFORE you get knock up? Its not like her gettin pregnant was a "oops" or anything...I really want to jump through the TV and slap this bitch...and her husband for going along with it!!!!!
ok, back to more train-wreck TV---i think the "Duggars" and "I didnt know I was pregnant" are on later today....OH NO! I am wrong!! "Briging home baby " is on...this is the show where they pick out two complete morons and follow them around for 36 hours after they have their kid....oh the drama....ok, not sure i can handle more whining so im giong to go watch the weather channel or something....

#3
So, as some of you MAy or MAYNOT know, I absolutely refuse to pay money for shampoo and conditioner....its ridiculous the amount of money it costs to buy the "special" stuff.....I absolutely refuse to spend 6.99 for small bottle of Pantene conditioner....especially because i have thick hair and i have to put a crap load of shampoo and conditioner in my hair...Not to be conceited at all here, but i have in the past received a compliment or two about my hair ...people ask if i use pantene or something special.....the answer is "no"...my secret is actually kind of gross---i dont wash it everyday and i very rarely blow dry it all the way (usually only about 25% drying by blowdryer)...yes , i know, "HORRIFYING" but my hair doesnt look like i stuck it wet into an electrical socket and french fried it....I have always bought "off" brands or generic equivalents....I usually buy Suave, because it has a really great clarifying shampoo...but i digress, because the whole point of this blog is that I want to list.....
GUILTY PLEASURE #3 --which is Coconut flavored conditioner....i love it...i feel like a three year old when i open up the bottle and sniff it...sometimes i even giggle...but i absolutely love using the sugary sweet smelling conditioner....this pleasure also holds true to "groovin' grape" conditioner as well.....hehehehe

2 blogs in one night---holy shit!
So, I am starting a new feature in my blog (thanks for the idea amy)..I am calling it "Guilty Pleasures." We all know what these are...these are those things or moments that you indulge in even though they are the stupidest things ever and you think that everyone would think you are crazy for doing/thinking/ enjoying them...however, usually, you come to find out that other people have similar guilty pleasures....at least, you hope that...well, even if you don't, maybe you can geta laugh out of how retarded I am.....so, here is my inaugural section:
Guilty Pleasure #1
Driving my car, blasting "Boyz II Men" songs at top volume, while singing along....selects include, but are not limited to, "MoTown Philly" and "Thank You"
Guilty Pleasure #2
Eating potato chips on your cold cut/sub sandwich....yummmoooo...especially good if they are salt and vinegar flavor

sweating to the Iditerod
So, when i was younger, my mother used to iron to the "Sweating to the Oldies" videos...I never saw her "sweat" to these videos, but they seemed to be great for ironing...she always told me she was "preparing" by watching them thoroughly....
Well, tonight, marco and I just watched 2 hours of the iditorod (yes i am aware that we are losers, but cute dogs in beautiful alaska? its a win-win). Now, Chloe loves watching dogs on TV. We often watch dog-based shows just to see her watch TV, and whine and walked up to the TV and nose it...once she actually licked the TV screen, much to my husband's dismay....well, it seems as if WATCHING the Iditerod has tired her out....she has been sleeping for basically the last hour soundly on the floor (also an odd thing, as she is a spoiled brat and usually sleeps on the green recliner with blankets), which for those of you who know Chloe, is highly unusual, as she is either usually causing havoc by eating toilet paper, chasing bagheera, or whining to be let out... or sitting drectly on top of marco and I , pawing and licking us to death....but no, she is comotose on the floor...everyone once in a while, the TV will make dog sounds and her ears will move, but literally that is the extent of the activity....i guess WATCHING the dogs do strenous activity was just too much for her...I do have to remember this is the dog that needed a 20 minute nap AT spring lake park last time we walked there before we headed back. For those non-townies, its like 1/3 of a mile form our house, if that, across flat ground. We thought we were going to have to carry her 8 lb ass back to the house...clearly, she is beyond domesticated....I wish we could trade out her lazy gene and get rid of her need to hunt squirrels and possums in our back yard....silly spotted doggy..

license to breed
i have come to the conclusion that people should need licenses to have children...yes i know that sound "horrible" of me, even "nazi" esquw........i am NOT proposingselective breeding or anyhitng like that.....but frankly i dont care what you may or maynot think. Iam dead serio0us. We need licenses to drive cars and we get rid of them every few years!
The reason i feel this way was again re-itterated today while doing chart reviews on the lovely unit i work on that deals mostly with adolescent girls. You hear stories about bad parents and usually think "oh the kids are just being dramatic"....well, in many of these girls' cases, they actaully arent being dramatic.....many of hte girls we see have parents who call them fat and ugly and useless or who are drug addicts or have their own serious issues....several of our clients have been raped or molested by a parent...and let me tell you once that happens you are pretty much fucked up for hte rest of your life, for good reason!.....and then people wonder why these people have so ,amy problems!!! So, if you need to give people a license to have children, i think that many of our socal service and mental health costs in this country will be cut down becuase dumb ass unresponsible jackasses wont be having and raising and fucking up their poor children....and now i am done venting for the day! :)

Day off
So today i had a day off, since i worked last Sunday. Let me just tell you that work was hell on earth this week, so i really really was looking forward to this day and had make these wonderful grand plans of cleaning my entire house.
Well, a brand new set of brakes and 400 some odd dollars later, i was about 3 hours behind schedule....and then i went to target where i had a near orgasm at the new fli flop diplay ( i cant wait util thursday when i get paid!!! :) )
So about 3:00 I finally got home and set to my plan of attack. The major thing i wanted to clean out was my small armour (not sure i'm spelling that right, but whatever) upstairs. Since we moved in, the armour as my catch all for my random crap suck\hs as pictures, old OT shcool books, arts and craft supplied, pens pencils and any random junk.
Well, for those of you who know me, i am a bit of a pack rat. Today just further illistrated that.
Contents inside the armour included, but were not limited to, My snake box my sister in law so lovingly made me, my old kindegarten class picture, Old valentine's cards from marco, seashells from when we first started to date, All of my birthday cards from my 24th birthday, theraband from my short time as ahomecare therapist, old canisters of undeveloped film, programs from musical presentations from high school and college, old movie ticket stubs, old card from when i was in college, my college ID, a ticket to mine and marco's graduatiojn, and so on and so on and so on....and of course, what did i do with all of this stuff? Did I sort it out and thin it down??? Noooooooooooooo........I bought a storgae container form target and put most of the crap in there...Im not sure why i save this stuff, since im not having children, and no one will appreciate this shit except for me......and some of it, including my snake box, i just put back where it came from...this time, in an ORGANIZED fashion....so yeah, basically im a hopeless pack rat....im going to be 90 and going to the nursing home with my boxes of random ticket stubs, photos, and old birthday cards....sadly enough, this also proves my theory that i am turing into my grandmother, because when i moved INTO her house, I had to sort through boxes of old holiday and brithday cards, ticket stubs, etc etc etc.......and sadly enough i also really enjoyed going through this stuff...i guess it takes on pack rat to know another pack rat!
anyway, my day off is over, but i have successfully organized that armour as well as my laundry closet.....now if i could just get to the rest of the house...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmphhhhhh

YOU KNOW YOU'RE OLD WHEN...
You make a "Back to the Future" reference (and there are so many of those) and your 19 year old niece looks at you like you just told her the earth was flat and goes "Is that the one with Brendon Fraiser in it?"

Punxsutawney Chloe? ....You Decide!
So every year, my dog Chloe, whose origins are somewhat unknown, sheds pretty much every single hair on her body. Usually this occurs in the spring time, around March. Conversly, she gets very very fluffy and soft and warm for the winter. It seriously looks like she puts on 10 pounds for the winter and gets skinny in the summer.
This year Chloe's coat got ridiculously fluffy in NOvember. Marco and I were convinced it was going to be a cold winter....and, as we all know, the weather, sans that last few days, has been RIDICULOUSLY freezing!
Well, last week Chloe started sheding her fur like CRAZY!!! My couch and clothing in COVERED with Chloe fluff. Marco brushed her TWICE on Sunday and my backyard was full of floating chloe fluffs. SOOOO...I am banking on the fact that Winter is almost over and Chloe is more accurate then that stupid groundhog, who says 6 more weeks......Lets see if my theory holds!!! If not, I am going to have a really, really cold puppy!!!!

my weekend
So I am spending this weekend doing a course on Kineseo taping. For those of you who arent PT/OT/Atheltic-type people, Kineseo taping in aform of taping which can do lots of cool stuff like inhibit or faciliate muscle gorups, protect joint, get rid of bruising/swelling, etc etc etc....I only totally understanding about 40 percent of what is going on , becuase a lot of it is PT based (ie back and spine)...however, its pretty neato! I took a picture of a gastroc. (calf) taping taht was done on me to help with plantar fascitis....i am testing it out to see if it really does anything for my plantar pain...we'll see!!!
Anyway, the upper extremity stuff is pretty cool and seems useful. I also learned one to help with lower back pain, so im hoping to use that on myself when my back is killing me.
later!!!

in mourning.
I just finished "breaking Dawn" last night at 11:05pm (late for me, isnt it?)
I am so sad....
*SIGH*
I feel like I dont even want to read anything else because NOTHING will live up to TWILIGHT....
I cant belive Im on this bandwagon....i usually shun books that are so popular...but there is a reason these books are popular. I have not been this engrossed and personalyl connect to a set of books since I read the "little house on the prarie" set when i was 9....and at least those books are based on real events and real people and not werewolves and vampires! In my small brain, the Cullen family of vampires are living out in Washington, jsut waiting for me to come a visit...I was acutally having dreams about these books and characters, including dreams i had last night!
sad, i know..... hmph! :(

helllooooooooooooooo
S I havent blogged lately becasue a) i havent had much to talkabout and b) all of my sarcasm is always aimed towards teh same gorup of people who i cant say anything about on this blog because they stalk me and becuase it will make me look like an ass and make them cranky and hostile and i dont feel like dealing with their pettiness..
anywho - not much have been going on with me. Today was my 90th day at Somerset Medical Center and I am *officially* off probation and am a permant employee!! Wahooo! not really sure what that means but i think it means that I am harder to fire!! even better!! heheheh... i really love my new job and i just recently started to work on the eating disorders unit! so far, so good..im not sure if its the honeymoon period or what not but the groups there have been somewhat easy in comparision to the non-descript shit hole of a state hospital i used to work at. Its also good because i am learning so, so much both in the EDU and in the acute clinic in the morning!
Tomorrow is my first "official" day off...ok so maybe i doesnt count because its actually a flex day, but i am excited to have a week day off!! I actually have an exciting weekend! Tonight we are oging out to dinner with my favorite people (the sochas) at maggiano's and tomorrow I am going to see Erica in DC with courtney! So excited!
Other then that, my life is fairly quiet...i am tired from a really long week at work, but am looking forward to being a vegetable at erica's house tomorrow!!!

uterus pain
Dear Uterus-
Why are you such a snarky jack ass? Why do you make me a crazy psycho bitch for 5 days and then curse me with horrid, back searing pain for another 5 days?! I am nothing but nice to you! Im fucking 27 years old---you should have gotten your pain-in-the-assness out of yourself in your rebelious "teenager" years. You are nice and safe and warm under many layers of warm belly fat and you still cause me agony! To make you stop hurting , I have done all of the "supposed" things you like ----8 glasses of water, yoga stretches, warm showers and heating pads, deep breathing---i think you started nasty rumors that you like these things just for the shear pleasure of wanting to see me suffer more. The only thing you do seem to like is 800mg of ibuprofen, but your cheeky "friend" -the digestive system -has different ideas about that--really, the two of you should get together and go bowling and decide what the fuck you want from me.
sincerely,
thais
PS- you look like a cow.
