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! :(
