Wow what does this say about me?

As my five readers know, I prefer to handle any ailments I have holistically. So, here is another example of me doing so. I have been feeling restless along with other random emotions and felt that what I needed was to make myself feel better. Now before your mind goes into the gutter, it was not that kind of "feel good" I was looking for. I have been listening to more upbeat music and reading upbeat articles but those are just fillers. As everyone knows the bulk of our emotional gathering is through television. So here recently I realized what I have chosen to watch and make myself feel better is quite odd.
 
I have been watching a lot of Golden Girls and Supernatural. Now if I were Frasier Crane (another show I have been watching a lot of) I would attempt to self-analyze to see where my emotional deficit was and why it was there in the first place. First, the Golden Girls. I watch the show because I love it, I like the humor, the dynamics of the characters and because I own all seven seasons on DVD. Somehow these lovable characters soothe me and make me feel like the world is still a place where good people live. When I want an aawww moment I watch Cats 101...but I digress (as Sophia would say). So perhaps I like this show because the older women comfort me as I feel I too am getting old. I am starting to feel my oats, as they say, and perhaps these women offer me hope that getting older doesn't mean lying down and dying.
 
Having said that, then there is the show Supernatural that I am also watching a lot of here lately. Now I can get into the fact that this show plays to my witchy ways; or that I enjoy it because I like the mystery of the story lines or even that I enjoy the back and forth jabs between brothers. But let's be honest here...Jensen Ackles (Dean) is hot. Ok! The man is beautiful. Now I don't usually go gaga over Hollywood guys because, well, what's the point? It's not like have a snowball chance in hell of ever meeting these guys so when I see attractive men on screen I enjoy the eye candy but not a whole lot more. Jensen on the other hand...oh mama. I have dreams about this guy...nice dreams...hot dreams...dreams, well you get the point. Anyway, I have elected to keep my fantasy man to myself and not divulge this info to the hubby. Of course I don't mind making this public knowledge. Strange. I find myself hiding this fantasy from the hubby not the the world. What does that say about me?
 
Moving on, I sitting here in my room at seven at night and it's raining. Now this is a good thing because we so desperately need the water but the wind is here too; and as I sit here writing the howling of the wind makes an unnerving sound. Has anyone seen Return of the living dead? Come on don't be shy, raise your hand. Well, I have. The wind pushing past my window sounds like the low moaning of the zombies. Spooky, right? I am alone, writing by only the back light of my computer and with this sound coming from outside. The house is quiet. My cat is no where to be found so I am truly alone. Ok I really need to stop writing crap like this.
 
I am trying to get some sleep later on and am still listening to those darn sleep hypnosis CDs. This new and fun thought creeping in my head will not help that. Why do I feel like I need a Twinkie now (a nod to Zombieland)?Well, now that I've had my "dear diary" moment I need to be off to bed. I will prep the coffee for tomorrow morning and hope the daylight doesn't bring any brain hungry zombies to my door.
 
Until next time...

  1. Loved this, Jen! Your running-stream-of-consciousness style totally made me laugh. Especially the part where you creeped yourself out and got spooked. ;) But my favorite was this:

    "Anyway, I have elected to keep my fantasy man to myself and not divulge this info to the hubby. Of course I don't mind making this public knowledge. Strange. I find myself hiding this fantasy from the hubby not the the world. What does that say about me?"

    I totally "got" that! :D I'm following you via email. Can't wait for your next post!

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
