It’s Not Fair.

by Erin on January 12, 2008 in trials & tribulations with 3 Comments

It’s not fair that…

– Shaving razors are $8 for a 4 or 6pk when women need to shave often. {Unless you prefer the warmth of extra fuzz!}

– Sweets have a lot of calories. ‘Nuff said.

– Cool gadgets are usually pricey. My newest want is the BlackBerry Pearl in red.

– It’s January 12th and there is no snow yet. Not that I’m asking for a ton, but I’d like a little bit.

– The writers strike is still going on. I miss my shows. I get that they want what is theirs. But they are losing out in the long run in if their shows tank. I’m already losing interest in some shows. Anyway, that’s my thoughts on it.

– I’m not as organized as I’d like to be. ;)

– It’s Saturday night at almost 9:30 and I am ready for bed.

<sigh> Such is life.

Seriously. The show drives me nuts.

I am, by my own accord, a TV addict. Not so much as I watch all the time {aka 24/7} but I do watch every night. And I’ll admit — there are a couple of shows that only me, myself and I like. ;) I really prefer to watch a show that others are watching so you can turn around and say, “OMGawd {’cause I’m originally from NYC!}, can you believe that?!” Well, imagine my sadness in knowing that I can’t find a darn fellow October Road {<— link will open in new window} watcher in the mix. Grumbles. So, I’ll blather away to all of you. :) Click read more to, duh, read more. You are warned — there are spoilers. So if you do watch but didn’t watch tonights, for God’s sake, DON’T CLICK READ MORE! :P Continue reading →

Quitting Smoking and Doctor Visits — Oh My!

by Erin on January 3, 2008 in resolutions, trials & tribulations with 4 Comments

Needless to say, starting a diet up again at the same time AF arrives AND you have just quit smoking does NOT make for the nicest few days. We’re on day two of no cigarettes. I think I’m getting a sore throat. :( I blame not smoking. LOL

We did get to see the ENT last night. And the result — we’ll be going for the adenoid surgery. Apparently his are really bad (and why the frig didn’t the other ENT say squat about it?!). I’m thinking she’ll probably pull the tonsils too – she mentioned those were large as well. (But let me suffer all these years where I hear from any doctor I ever go to for a sore throat – “You have the biggest ~~boobs~~ tonsils I’ve ever seen.”) So the plan is to go to a pulmonary specialist to get a sleep study done to rule out OSA (Obstructed Sleep Apnea) and then she’ll decide how to do the surgery. Poor kiddo. But hopefully we can get this all taken care of and he’ll be the sweet boy I once knew. :)

And on that note, it’s time to straighten up a bit. (Remember? I’m trying to be more organized. LOL)

*smooches*

Happy New Year!

by Erin on January 2, 2008 in resolutions with 5 Comments

Firstly, please excuse the appearance. I decided on a switch and well, I jumped the gun not realizing I didn’t have sufficient time to change everything. :S

Now on with the New Year. :) My resolutions are quite simple this year: lose more weight, quit smoking, be more organized and learn how to stand up for myself and say “No.”

On the lose weight: I’m down 3 pounds since New Year’s Eve. Woo Hoo.
On the quit smoking: Been smoke free for 23 hours. Had one cigarette yesterday in total and none today. {Note: I am bitchy today.}
On the more organized: I can honestly say I am not less organized than usual. ;)
On the standing up and saying “NO”: Haven’t really had the need to enforce it AOY, but I plan on doing so. :)

So we’re on day 2 of the resolutions. All and all – not too shabby.

Today we have another ENT appointment for The Kiddo. ::sigh:: I’m at my wits end with this one. All they keep doing is pumping him full of antibiotics, steroids and antihistamines. :( This poor kid can’t breathe at night. This is the 2nd ENT we’ve seen. If I don’t like what she says at todays appointment (that I have to drive over an hour to get to) then I’m calling the ped tomorrow and asking what to do since they recommended an ENT in the first place. Grrr.
