update: the only down side is that it's 4am and i am not the least bit tired.
I got my meds changed. The other stuff made me gain so much weight I couldn't stand it any more. I felt better but also very lazy and tired most of the time. I've only been on this new stuff for a few days and it's a complete 180. I still feel good but I have so much energy!
I've cleaned and organized everything I can think of. I must have washed 8 loads of laundry today because I decided all of my bedding, kitchen towels and blankets needed to be washed too.
HOLY CLEAN SHEET DAY TIMES 10 BATMAN!!!
I really wish I knew how to fix bikes because I'm all about fixing things right now. I just want to take the whole thing apart, clean it all up, replace the breaks and wheels, buff up the bright green fender and go for an icy ride!
If my drill had come in already I would replace the wheels on my giant treasure chest and hAng the spice rack. I can't wait for that thing to get here!!!
Now i am going to try to harness this intense energy and do some studying for this monster comprehensive exam I have next weekend. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Nice pictures thanks for sharing. Not sure what my favorite one is but the one that looks like Kook is about to get hit is funny at the end.

Went great yesterday. She was mighty impressed with my changes over the last few months. My ability to write down the physical things I like about myself. It's hard to do. Partially because I never thought I had anything real stand outish about my shell, partially because I felt guilty announcing if I thought I did. The whole tooting your own horn thing comes easy for many but I suppose I was really brought up thinking that was bad. Really, it is to a degree. We all know the peron that won't shut up about themself. The one that turns everything around so that they are the center of the universe.
Extremes aside, I was able to really look at myself and be ok writing a few things down. Although it's a little awkward, I think it will help to put them out there, to really be ok with what I am saying.
1. I have a genuine smile. Nice teeth included.
2. I have great hair. Not in the sense that I have to style it, rather my actual hair. It's full and wavey.
3. Pretty eyes. I like my rings of green and blue, plus my eye lashes are really long. Apparently some people go to great lengths to create that look.
4. I'm strong. I've always been strong. Even covered in this layer of blubber I'm still strong. I kick ass.
5. Curves. I've got em. I like my boobs, I like my butt. Sometimes I think my butt is a little too big, but ultimately I'd rather have this butt than one of those flat ironing board butts that make your pants hang weird.
So there. I said what I like about me (and yes, this exercise was purely physical aspects) and I'm ok with it. Yeah!
Today's quote:
You should appreciate what is before you rather than admiring what you hope is down the road.

Looking at ones self honestly is verry diffacult to do. Somepeople think they are great when they arn't (like my boss, and that drives most of us insane) and some are just the oposite. I'm glad that you (wish I could for myself) have a good a realistic sense of your self. On a side note ironing boards are not really verry fun.

yay yay yay! What an accomplishment! I think it is sometimes hard to find good things to say about yourself, especially when you were raised in a manner in which that was a bad thing....so congrats to you!
And on a side note, I would much rather have a butt than a board too!

ofcourse, I agree with the two gentlemen above, (e:inspiraysean) and (e:mrmike).
and you have rounded out your list. Good for you!! "teeth included" lol. Also, as we reminisced, who knows more about your hair than I do?? That one day back in the early 90's when I permed your super long thick hair and had to use a trash bag to cover all of the rollers. Hundreds of them- hours and hours later.
You could add that you have the best story/history telling scars! "these are from bar fights, shark attacks and Carey" hehe, only one is true.
keep at it- the changes you are working on are already evident. *high five*
ofcourse, I accept you 'as is' :)

toxic presentsCategory: potpourri
Ryan and I just discovered something wack. He got a mug full of candy for Christmas. A big mug that says Ho! Ho! Ho!. On the bottom of the lovely mug, ripe for hot chocolate, it reads 'by the way, there is lead in the paint used on this mug and it is not suitable for drinking out of'. :0
deeglam - 01/09/07 11:57
totally interesting because I learned about this shit in one of my environmental health classes....lead has been found in things such as baby chew toys, nike sneakers, mugs (like you said) and even candy made by MARS!
Despite all the obvious adverse health effects of lead, companies still use it because they can get it away with it....since there are no laws protecting people from lead. Lovely, huh???

At least they warned you. But that is so odd that on a mug they would use paint that had lead in it.

That is insane. I didn't even think they could use lead paint on stuff like that anymore. I mean want not use the multitude of other paint agents that do not contact lead. :::link:::

My friend is coming over to have a little girl talk knitting party tonight. Yay! I haven't been excited about home craft goods in so long. Parts of me are starting to come back, I love it. It's a new year, it's a new day, I'm not letting ANYTHING get in my way.

That seems like fun. I would have scoffed at it in prior times, but I am really gravitating toward simple creativity and creation. I bought multiple balls of yarn two months ago. My plan is to teach myself to crochet.
and to get back to creating in general. You too must get back to your arts.
up for some painting/drawing sometime? I have a bunch of supplies..
taken it back, not letting anything get in the way.. here! here!

Good for you!! Carpe Diem!!
Good for you!! Carpe Diem!!
if you go for the icy ride, I highly suggest fully covering your face. Unless you are going for a rosy flaming red wind burn glow ;)
I learned my lesson last year.
I know the feeling-my energy has been boundless but for much different reasons. Feel free to unleash your newfound cleaning/organizing hyperactivity on my garage :)
and if so, can i get some?
are you on some sort of amphetamines?
