Books Travel Reading http://peelings.blogdrive.com/archive/557.html Sat, 14 Oct 2006 17:48:09 GMT Hey everyone! I'd been meaning to try out a different blog server for a while, but yesterday I finally took the plunge! For now my blog can be found at http://www.janasjourneys.blogspot.com http://peelings.blogdrive.com/comments?id=557 http://peelings.blogdrive.com/archive/556.html Thu, 12 Oct 2006 17:08:28 GMT I am really not in the mood to blog at the moment, but I figured I should at least let you all know how my new meds are working. Well, they haven't helped the migranes. As a matter of fact, I've had one every day since Saturday, and they're worse than normal too. Emotionally I think the Prozac has helped me to balance out a little better. I've been able to keep things in perspective better since I've been on it (like, not flipping out over small things) and been a lot less stressed out, despite the fact that my life seems to have gotten MORE stressful instead of less. I haven't had...

While we were there, she had the kids do this cool little craft! They had these little things, about the size of tater tots and made of a styrofoam-ish stuff, that stuck together when you got them wet! The kids (and I) made all kinds of interesting little creations... One of the helpers, the son of my roomate's best friend, (known as X on my blog) wanted to spend the night at our house. We said yes... He and I were happily playing a game on the X box (Halo), when we remembered that my roomate had...

Just so ya know! Bee Progress (see my last two blog posts if you have no idea what I'm talking about) I've enjoyed watching the bees buzzing in and out of their little hole, but none have gotten inside. I plan to do another raid of their little hole tomorrow night right as it's getting dark. But for now, these might amuse you: Bee corpse surrounded by caulk: Bee corpse on a...

I ran to Menards and grabbed caulking (my window is REALLY old with lots of cracks) and bee killer spray. I got this new foaming caulk stuff (not the old stuff with the gun), and kinda went a little crazy with it... LOL I have caulking EVERYWHERE. I have caulking on my fingers, on my arms, on my clothes, on my bed, on my pillow, on the floor, on a fan on the other side of the room (no idea how I did that one!),... Then, went out and sprayed the hole in the the window with the bee...

I've bloged this summer about my issues with poison ivy, my attack by a swarm of angry bees, and how I was a victim of an attack by a killer tree. I'm sure there are also a bunch of posts about how I've gotten sick from being allergic to nature. I think that nature must have over-heard Leti and I disciplining the killer tree, and decided it was time for a full-scale war! I woke up this morning, not only to the knowledge that there are itchy bumps forming up and down my arms (poison ivy attack #3...

Here is a plain boring one that I knitted last month: Here is one that I knitted after that. It's not the greatest pic, but it at least lets you see the pattern: (you can also see the edges of Tiger's paws on the left) And here is the first dishcloth that I crocheted! I messed up on the first set of stitches (the part at the bottom that looks different) but then I got the hang of it. I think I'm going to try this one again with a smaller crochet needle. This dishcloth was a little bit too big for me and...

So, we drive along aimlessly for a while, along a country road... until we finally spotted walnuts on the ground! We grabbed shopping bags, and started to pick. The walnut trees were growing between a field and the road, so we started out on the roadside first... then I decided to look for the ones under the trees. I get halfway through the brush (tree limbs, briars, etc) when all of the sudden I realize I'm caught! My hair was up in a ponytail, and somehow a branch had gotten UNDER the hair...

It's Friday!!!! *doing the happy it's Friday dance* I'm so glad it's Friday!!!! Work today is CRAZY! End of the month stuff, plus the normal day stuff, plus we leave early on Friday. I'll be glad to go HOME, change into jammies, and enjoy my weekend. I've been SOOOOOOOOOO unbelievably hyper this week! I don't know if it's a Prozac side-effect, if its from me exercising every day (metabolism boost?) or what, but I'm so hyper I can't hardly handle it! Seriously. My leg is constantly bouncing up and down and I can't hardly even concentrate. This is VERY bad at work!!!...

Okay, sorry, just needed to share that with you. I've been without caffine for almost two weeks (except those two stupid herbal teas), I've gotten up before work almost every day to exercise, and I'm trying to reduce my portion sizes. I'm just generally being good, ya know? So I'm glad to see some results. I'd be happier if those results included my clothes not fitting so tight, but, one thing at a time. In other news... nothing exciting is going on. Trying to stay on top of things, keep from being overwhelmed. Slowly but surely making... (more) http://peelings.blogdrive.com/comments?id=548
