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!!!

dumb people

so i was at the mall last night and one of those annoying sales people who are in charge of the kiosks came upt to harrass me...any guess what they were harassing me about???


Buying a hair straightener.

Really.

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.
