Craziness.

Things have been too crazy for me to write. I was sick for a while after my wisdom teeth were pulled, but I'm feeling much better. My sister visited last week with her three girls. That was super fun. They were here for SIX days! It actually went by really quickly. Jeremy was stressed though and lost patience after a few days. LOL. Her girls are so cute though, and I didn't get sick of them. :)

So anyway, she just left Tuesday, but she's in the hospital as I write this. She thinks she has something wrong with her gallbladder, so they're running a million-zillion tests right now. Poor thing. I hope she's better soon. My brother's wife had to have her gallbladder removed after she had one of her kids. Many women have that problem after they have a baby. Weird.

Well, I think that's about it going in my life. I need to stop buying clothes. I promised Jeremy I would stop, but then I find super-cute skirts on sale, and I have a hard time saying no. Anyway... I'm sure I'll be fine. :)

Catching Up.

Gosh, I haven't written in a long time. I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Did I say that already? I'm too lazy to go look at my last entry. Anyway, yeah... that sucked, and I'm SO glad it's over.

I haven't been doing much lately. Jeremy has been an absolute angel since he's gotten back from his trip. I'm the luckiest wife alive. :)

I've started reading Harry Potter again recently. I need to finish Book 4. I'm such a dork for only reading 1, 3 and 5. Yes, I know... not truly a Harry Potter fan. Though I'm at the book releases at midnight, and I see the movies the day they come out... after standing in line for hours and hours. So fun.

This year, Hanna and I are dressing up as Ravenclaw students. I even got us some Prefect badges! We will also be wearing our glasses (we have the same exact Rx glasses!) Our hair is almost the same cut and color now too. We'll look like twins. :) LOL. Though Hanna is about 3-4 inches shorter than I am. Tee hee. My dad thinks I'm too old to be dressing up and waiting in line for the release of a children's book, but what can I say?! I *am* a child at heart. :)

Hanna is doing okay. She's moving next week, which is crazy. She's finally leaving her jerk-husband (thank God!), and things with Leif are... well, complicated to say the least! He doesn't know what he wants. He is having a hard time choosing between Hanna and this other girl, Alexis. Pick Hanna! Pick Hanna! But only if you're going to treat her right! Hanna deserves so much... I know she'll get it though. She's so great. :)

I'm leaving for vacation in two weeks, and I'm stoked! My mom and I are going by ourselves, and it will be great. Our relationship has really blossomed in the last year, and that is too cool. (I just used the word "blossomed"? Weird.)

I can't wait to spend a whole week with her. I'm very possessive of my mother; I've come to realize. And I'm kind of selfish about the time I have with her. When I'm with her, I want her all to myself. LOL. I'm like a child still in that aspect, but I think it's because I never get to see her. I deserve alone time with my mother, right?! It's not like it happens that often...

Well, Ruby and Amber are crying at me to... well, I'm not exactly sure *what* they want, but they need something! They look very impatient. And I need some food. :) All is good in my life at the moment.

No Teeth.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled today. They bled for hours. Then I took a nap, and when I woke up, I was spitting blood.

And I don't think I've ever been this irritable... EVER. In all my life... irritable. Yuck. My lower lip and jaw are still numb. That sucks. Drugs are starting to wear off. The pain is starting to kick in. It hurts... bad. And I don't have any drugs to make it go away.

Jeremy had to go to his stupid job, and he's been there for four hours now. And just because of that, I don't get my drugs! I need drugs, damn it!

I don't know what to do. I'm so frustrated and irritated with everything. I'm hungry. Thirsy. Hot. I can't talk. I hurt. And I want the dogs to be quiet and stop rough-housing.

*sigh* I hate being miserable. And I'm not miserable very often. That's probably why I hate it so much.

And I'm SO glad I have this journal because I HATE complaining, and I'd never say any of this to a human. LOL. (Okay, not really laughing out loud, but you know... hardee har har in the inside.) Anyway, dogs are needing me at the moment. Maybe I'll continue this later... Grrr... God, please make it stop!

Britney Who?!

Priceless interview of the day:

Mike Lauer of Today: So now that you've interviewed Britney and Kevin, do you understand what all the hype is about?

Ellen DeGeneres: No, I really don't.

LOL. That is so funny. And I saw that interview with the Federlines, and yeah, what the heck is the fascination? Just... ew.

*emmett* ~ who has never been a Britney fan...

Wisdom Teeth

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday. I'm really happy because they hurt a lot. They're also bothering me when I eat cold stuff, and I would like to eat my Fruity Pebbles in peace. :)

On the other hand, I'm scared to get them out because they have to put me to sleep, and that's freaky and weird. I was beginning to feel "okay" about it until last night's season finale of Raymond. Those of you who saw it, you know what I'm talking about...

Okay, but for those of you who didn't... Raymond got put under to have a small surgery, and they couldn't wake him up. Freaky. Thanks, CBS, I feel SO much better now. :) Psh.

*emmett* ~ who will most likely be okay on Friday... I'll keep you posted... maybe

p.s. Whoa! I just noticed something freaky! My last entry was about Ray Romano! Holy Cow I'm going to die under those drugs!

Puppy Accident.

I'm the most terrible mother! Okay, I'm not that bad and really, I shouldn't bee *too* hard on myself. It was an accident...

Today when I was trimming Ruby (I groom our dogs myself), she got her tongue in the way! Yes, it's true. The scissors cut her tongue. I felt SO bad... I started crying. Poor little thing. She's such a small little doggie. It's a very small cut.

She didn't cry or anything, but she bled a lot, and I felt awful! The doctor said I need to watch her for twelve hours so I didn't go to work tonight. I wanted to give her my full attention. I can't let her eat, drink or lick anybody. LOL. Easy for the doctor to say... he hasn't met my dogs! They're lickers!

Anyway, the bleeding has stopped, and she seems to be doing much better. I'm glad I could stay home with her. I tried to get the pet sitter, but she was already busy. :-( And I did let her drink *a little* water. I'm sure she just wanted that taste of blood out of her mouth. She's been sleeping a lot, and I've been letting her bask in the sun with Amber (her sister).

Oh, and today is their birthday! Yay! My babies are two-years-old today. I can't believe it. :)

Jeremy comes home day after tomorrow. Finally! It feels like it's been a long time, but it's only been three weeks. I really shouldn't complain. At least it's not two years like *some* military wives have to endure. He's leaving again in July for the whole month. :( I think I will have company though. Hanna may come and visit. Brittany might come too (not at the same time). And Britt is bringing her new boyfriend. That should be fun.

Okay, well, I have TONS to do with cleaning and getting ready for Jeremy, so I better go. AND I have to check on Ruby again. :)

Money.

I'm spending too much money. There was a point a few weeks ago where I decided that I was finished with spending money.

Then I realized something. We put lots of money away each month for retirement. I mean, this money could buy us cool things now like tents and other cool camping/backpacking/climbing gear. But no... we want to be responsible about our money and taking care of ourselves because we know the government won't when we decide to retire.

So anyway, because we put money away, I figured, I can spend the rest of the money (well, not all of it!) because my good friend Ali always used to say, "Money is for spending!" LOL. He is a child of a wealthy oil man in Saudi Arabia so granted, not the same thing as this situation, but still... helpful. :)

So I've been buying pretty much everything I want lately. *sigh* Now... I wish I wouldn't have spent so much money. But I like all my stuff. And it's not like I just buy "stuff." There are only three things I buy... clothes/shoes, cooking stuff, outdoorsy stuff. None of that is wasted.

NONE of my clothes fit so I basically needed a whole new wardrobe. Everything was too big... for crying out loud, even my panties were falling off me! So... yeah, this week, I will sell stuff on eBay. All week long. I have tons of stuff I don't need so it's all going. :) None of my new stuff though. That will stay. Making money on eBay will be fun too.

Ray Romano?

Ray Romano invaded my dreams last night. It was very strange. I ran out of an auditorium filled with bugs. When I got out, I realized I forgot my jacket, keys and organizer (though, I don't carry one...).

I had to go back in and face the bugs. Then I got out, and Ray Romano was out there giving me a hard time about me *not* wanting to have children. It was strange.

There were also handsome, young guys (high school/college) playing football. Weird, weird dream. No more chocolate before bed. Tee hee.

*emmett* ~ who can't wait for Jeremy to come back home... in 8 days! Woohoo!

More Gymnastics.

Dude, my stomach muscles are burning! I did a million press-handstands... that must have done it.

On Tues, I also worked out my calves a lot, and this morning I got the worse charlie-horse! UGH! It sucked so hard. I hate those. Worse pain ever. And now it's aching because of it. Oh well... good thing about muscle pain... it goes away. :)

I can't wait till next week after my body has recovered. :) At least my arms don't ache anymore. It's nice to feel myself getting stronger. Gosh, gymnastics is so awesome. I'm stoked I was able to get back into it. Yay!

Gymnastics.

Gymnastics last night was awesome. I worked out so hard. :) I did lots of kips (of course), but I also worked on cast handstands. I've never worked on those before, and I'm not sure why. I'm pretty close. I'm about 3/4 up.

I did some straddle press ones on the tall floor bar. That was fun. I can feel myself getting stronger since I've been back. That's always a good feeling.

Dr. Dave is helping me a lot too. He's so nice. He calls me Sunshine. :) I really like that. LOL. Chris's girlfriend stopped by too, and it was so great to see her. I hadn't seen her since I met her at the Christmas party. She's so cute and fun. I'm so happy for Chris. He's so great. :) Well, all in all, good night. :)

Kissa, My My Kitty.

How ironic. I haven't updated in three weeks, and this entry is about Kissa. *sigh* Or as her new owner likes to call her... Kalea (ka-LEE-uh) Kahuna-Mocha. Not as cool as Kissa, but to each his own, I suppose.

It was as I suspected. My asthma acted up. Yes, getting a kitten was stupid. She was very sweet. But my friend Beth loves her to death. Kissa... err... Kalea is very happy at her new home with her new cat-brother.

Ruby and Amber (the puppies) missed her the first two days, but now they're back to normal. They kind of were freaking out while she was here. It's calmer now, and Jeremy and I are less stressed. For the best. And I still get to visit her. :)

*emmett* ~ who will never get a cat again...

Kissa, My Kitty!

Today...
... we got a kitten. I still can't believe it. It took us hours to decide whether or not to get her. She was so cute and sweet. She likes the dogs...
... and the dogs like her! ;-)

She doesn't cry, and she's a cutie. I was so happy.

It then took us another few hours to decide on a name for her. Jeremy chose Kissa. It means "cat" in Finnish. I think it's perfect for her.

But now... I'm so nervous. What if my allergies and asthma are bad because of her? What if she's difficult to train? What if I can't get somebody to stop by and feed her while we're away? What if? What if? So many questions.

Jeremy says I worry way too much. He's wanted a cat for so long. He loves kitties. I love kitties too though. :) I'm just... nervous, I suppose. Three pets is kind of a lot of work. Was this the right thing to do? Grrr... so many questions.

*emmett* ~ who is confused...

No Voice.

I lost my voice. I sure hope I find it soon. Work will be very difficult with no voice, and that will be poopy. Besides, I LOVE to talk... how will I survive? Well, maybe I'll write more later...

You Want My What?!

I got this phone call today... some telemarketer, I guess. He was from India. Well, he *sounded* like he was from India. He could have very possibly been in New York.

Anyway, he said Jeremy had $10,000 coming to him from the government, and all he needed was our bank account number.

Pshyeah, I'm going to give my bank account number out over the phone. Do I have stupid written on my forehead?

I asked him to prove he was a real company. He replied, "Just give me your account number, and then I'll prove it." Mmhmm... yeah... sure.

*emmett* ~ who, just for your information, does NOT give out bank account info over the phone...

Jaywalking and Laziness.

I think something's wrong with me. My house is a little messy, and I don't care that much. This is probably a good thing.

I'm feeling very lazy lately. All I want to do is surf the internet and eat frozen cookie dough balls. Mmmm... those are so tasty.

Speaking of being lazy... You know something that bothers me? Jaywalkers. I mean, I know they bother a lot of people, but they've been bothering me *more* lately. They stand there and wait, looking for the perfect time to cross, but they *still* make traffic stop for them.

Why did they wait then? And why do they always cross about twenty feet away from a crosswalk? Wouldn't it save more time to just *walk* to the crosswalk?! I mean, you'd think it would since they're standing there anyway looking for the *perfect* time to cross, and there isn't a perfect time because it's not a crosswalk and therefore, cars are continuously moving. Bah! Stupid jaywalkers.

That is all.

*emmett* ~ who will probably end up cleaning like a crazy person here soon... while eating frozen cookie dough balls...
