I hope everyone is having a good beginning of the week. I’ve been busy, but not the I’m losing my mind kind of busy….thankfully. Now I just need to focus on a few projects that I’ve been putting off, but just don’t feel like doing. Which sucks, because I now have some breathing room for it. It is kind of like an all or nothing thing….I have no idea what.

I originally started this last night…so I guess it is happy hump day…..lol

Well, I just finished up one big project today…..thankfully.  =)  That is one thing down.

It has slowed down from the crazy pace of last week, which is very nice, but now I just don’t want to do anything due to burn out.   I am going to have to force myself to get some things done…some of it isn’t too bad, just a pain to remember how to do it…..like backing up my firefox bookmarks and emails…..then I have to call sprint yet again….seem to think that we like to pay Florida taxes on our phones when we don’t even live there!  That is so annoying.  I’m so glad that we don’t plan on moving to any other state…..we felt more comfortable here within a week then we ever did in Florida after 3 yrs.  =)

Then I need to contact insurance again for the my job….we are opening another office in LA and need to get it taken care of it.  Then I really need to add more things to the store I handle.

I will say the only thing that has been issue since moving here is finding certain foods that we like.  For example, Open Pit BBQ, that is more of midwest thing…couldn’t get it in Florida.  My mom would ship us some from Indiana………lol   But I did find it online and ordered it a few months ago.  Right now, we can’t seem to find fresh ground horseradish for Harold.  So he found that online and ordered some.  What we don’t understand is that Oregon borders Idaho…but we can’t find Idaho potatoes and the ones we find are small.  We are use to big Idaho potatoes, so we are going to see if we can find that online.  =)  Now we need to find bread that we like…….I’ve been looking everywhere for homepride bread.  Just did a search and found this article : Wonder Bread bakery says region has gone stale  Hell, I didn’t even know that wonder bread made home pride.  =(

Been doing good with my workouts, but need to push myself more.  The workouts are hard and exhausting, but I’m not staying sore as much.  Which is actually a good thing, because my muscles are getting better on recovery, but makes me feel that I didn’t do enough….and that is even after feeling like I’m going to collapse during my workout with my trainer….lol  I usually see my trainer 3 days a week, but she had a family thing so I saw her this past Monday and I won’t see her until next Wednesday.  I’m trying hard to remember the different things that she has me do.

It is later then I thought it was and morning comes early for the gym.  =)

Wow, I actually feel as if I have my mind.  Earlier today I sure didn’t feel that way….thought I was going to lose it.  So much to do so little time.

I just hate the fact that there is only 5 weekdays.  That is when we want to get things done, when folks are in work and the kids are in school.  But at the same time that is the only and best time to get business done when it comes to the phone calls and stuff.  It is so frustrating sometimes……the damn limits of business hours and time zones…..ggrrr

Then I spend my evenings working on my job and not being able to work on things that I need to for us and me.  I feel so guilty when a message doesn’t get answered in a decent amount of time or the fact that I can’t get a blog out a day…..I don’t even want to go tanning during the week because of the time it takes…I love my nails, but I HATE the time I lose on them

I can usually get some of our work done on the weekends, but that sucks.  Because by that time it is piled up and has been neglected far too long.  I should be able just to spend an hour a day to keep up with instead.  I just want to be able to get the things done that we want to do without stressing time.

Doesn’t help that I’m going be starting my cycle soon.  Makes me so irritable and stresses me to the max…..makes me just want to scream.

Enough venting….after my freak out, I got quite a bit of work done for my job.  And I even got all my messages responded to.  =)  Now I need to find time this weekend to email people that I haven’t spoken to in a while and call my sisters, who I have been neglecting.  =(   And finalize my big project so I can get it done and over with.  Then it is on to planning next week and the things we need and want to do.

While doing that, we are going to watch the Final Four.  I’m going to enjoy that.

Wow, I have been busy as hell….work wise.

Saturday I did get most of my huge personal project done, now I just need to go over it this Saturday and finalize it. Now I have to attack the insurance forms for the new the office that the company I work for it opening. This is going to be interesting because I’m use to personal/car insurance not this kind.

Of course, with today being the 1st, I had to take care of the company pay……it was a big one this round. My goal tomorrow is the insurance and all of my messages. We are then going out to the only Japanese steakhouse that we have been able to find with a friend of ours. We tried it a few weeks ago and it was good. I love the way things are cooked in front of you and the performance that some of the cooks do.

What I find it weird is that this is Portland…..why isn’t there more Japanese steakhouses? They have such a hugh variety of restaurants except that…..a ton of sushi……..yuck! Though Harold doesn’t mind having that once in awhile…..blah…lol

Tried to do my cardo today on the treadmill……it was harder then usual. But I did get a good hard 30min in. I don’t know if the fact that my reading material was lacking in the end, because it is great distraction to the struggle. If I get my mind off of how hard it is, I don’t focus on wanting to stop…..plus, I really hate treadmills….lol

We watched Bush’s War that we recorded off of PBS……..well the part 1, lost part 2. =( Have we stated how much we HATE the motorola boxes that comcast has us use?!?!? We REALLY hate them, I never thought I would ever say this…but I miss brighthouse…..ggrrr

Alright, enough of that off beaten path. That episode was hard to watch. I so never wanted to beat so many people! I hate and despise Cheney & Rumsfield and their cronies..lets add that lawyer Yoo for making us no better then the nazis on how we treat our prisoners…..then Rice had NO backbone to do her job. The other 2 brow beat good men into their way, destroyed Colin Powell’s rep….those two need to be shot. I would so love them to be brought up on war charges, impeachment….something to throw their sorry asses in jail. 2 of the worst armchair warriors, who NEVER had the BALLS to serve, what a bunch of cowards and hypocrites.

Cheney and Rumass….reminds me of Darth Vader and the Emperor (Cheney), except Vader was redeemable.

Which reminds me that we should send a few more $ to the ACLU and Obama next week….

Waivers will be used to speed up border fence

**You know, I have never hated an administration so much in my life…even though I only remember 4 of them.. Don’t you just LOVE how this government tramples all over everything to get what they want?!?

ACLU: Military using FBI to skirt restrictions

**This is because of that asshole Rumsfield. He involved the military into the intelligence community, when that is not what they are there for….outside of direct warfare intelligence. He was such a power hungry moron that he had to control all the info….because information is power.

Update: Wal-Mart no longer seeks money from disabled ex-worker

**No surprise there……what a bunch of assholes for doing that to that family.

I guess that is all for tonight…brain died…lol
