frustration
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!

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
- 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!
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
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
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....

light bulbs
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
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 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 :)

guilty pleasure
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
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?
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
