It's always the end that gets you

As you all (all five of you I mean) know,  I am selling my house. The deal is all but signed and the last check mark to be made are some minor repairs I need to make. So as a good girl I picked a contractor that my insurance company recommended thinking that I couldn't go wrong with the person. I am terribly disappointed.

I have been going back and forth with this company for days, almost a week now, and I have gotten to the point to where I have called other contractors. Now, here's the snag...I signed this contractor's proposal to do the work but have had not further contact with him or his company to set up a time to get the work done. I am under a tight (and getting tighter) deadline.

I am worried. Then yesterday we did some yard work and I think that I over extended my abilities to do manual labor. I got sick. I was weak, exhausted, in pain and had a killer headache and to add to the fun my stomach started to run a muck. I was burping, I was gassy and all kinds of other fun filled painful ways about digestion. The thing is I hadn't eaten since 5pm and yet I was feeling like I had just had pizza and beer in the last hour at 10pm. I was in terrible shape and finally got past the pain to sleep at around 4am this morning.

I woke up feeling like I had been at an all night frat party. It hasn't been until now, literally, that I feel sort of "normal" again. I am looking forward to moving and getting this over with and not doing any more manual labor.

Through all of this my husband has been a saint. He's been with me the whole time because when I get sick I turn into a clingy, whinny "oh my god I'm dying", kinda person...yes...ashamed to admit it but true. So I will now return to the solice of my king size bed and watch Lie to Me on Netflix for another hour or so until I feel strong enough to get up and do something with the rest of the day.

Until next time....

Isagenix

As I was flipping though my June 2011 copy of Natural Health, I came across an advertisement for Isagenix. Isagenix is a "nutritional cleansing" product that has a side effect of weight loss. I have cleansed in the past and have usually purchased the kit from Walmart or Walgreen's for $25 bucks or so. Now I have always felt better after cleansing my system but weight loss was never a significant side effect. True, Ron White does have something when he asks in one of his shows "Have you ever taken a crap so big your pants fit better?" I hate to admit that when I feel full of myself that I am always happy to puck out $25 from my wallet and buy a cleansing kit. I have been struggling with my weight since I was in high school and have tried everything from Aerobics to Zumba to get fit along with every trendy diet; so when I heard of a cleansing product with a weight loss side effect I was very interested. I looked it up on the Internet and found on Y...

I'm Back!!! I need the therapy.

I apologize to my 5 readers that I have not been around to keep you entertained. My life has gone crazy in ways I was not prepared for. I am sure all of us out there can relate. My last blog was about my nails and though I have been keeping up with them, they have taken a back seat to my current issues.  My son has undergone open heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. He's had heart problems since he was born and we knew this day would eventually come but you are never truly prepared for the day it actually happens. My stress level has been extremely high and my hair, skin and nails have taken the brunt of my old habits.  I haven't been moisturizing my face the way I should or have been, my hair has actually started thinning out in the front and I actually talked myself into getting a new set of fake nails. Yes you read that correctly. I have spent the last year of my life dedicated to getting off fake nails and getting rid of everything in my make u...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...
