hula hoops and hampster wheels

So it's a little belated but here they are:
Read more. The goal is a book a week, I forgotten how much I love reading. So far the book a week quota has been met!


Finish what I start. Be it an afghan or scarf, a tedious task I don't want to do aka folding laundry. The grow out the hair plan - is also still in place.


Learn something new: I guess this goes with the reading thing - but also trying new things, being a little more adventurous.

Being a little mushy sometimes. I guess I'm a little apprehensive about being a mushball - or sensitive & emotional, but sometimes I know I need to be the inner goober and that I'm not always tough stuff.



The old standby - the goal is to lose the 20 pounds I gained courtesy of 2007, I'm halfway there - as of today. Granted I've been working on this prior to the new year, so this might also fit into the category -- finish what I start...

Don't put up with bullshit - drama and or other unpleasantries. I can get mad but I'm only allowing myself to stay mad for 12 hours and then I'm going to be over it.

So that's it.

Oh and cut back on the dc..(diet coke)

So my ex-boyfriend, the one who had an ex-wife and a baby on the way with another chickadee, he's having another baby -- or his new girlfriend is having a baby -- He's thrilled - maybe I don't get it cause I don't think having a baby is something thrilling especially given his 1st child is less than a year old. I'm just thankful I got out of that mess before the super sperm got me in the unsavory predicament.

I'm also reminded daily of this person in the office who shall remain nameless who has two illegitimate children both resulted from some drunken stopper of a one night stand. Why can't the stupid people use birth control?

I am very happy for my normal married friends who have embraced babies into their families -- I'm just bitter cause now your time entertaining me has dwindled.

Oh well - onward.

So I don't get embarassed -- most of the time... But sometimes in life you have to buy embarassing products. Now granted I'm not a shy person - I'm just fine going into an adult store and buying something thing to watch or something that buzzes- these are not the items that I find embarassing.

These are:

Preperation H - Stool Softner - Tucks Medicated Pads - Anything for hemmrhoid relief is embarassing -- I've had the rhoids in the past and this purchase just adds to the agony. Along the same lines --- any yeast infection treatment, douche etc.

Condoms and Lube when accompanied with your sweetie pie -- I'm fine buying these items solo, but once - Dave decided I needed lube while we were at the grocery store picking up dinner -- I was mortified - I thought he went off to get salsa - but no lube in 2 varieties ended up in the basket -- and I didn't know they were there until they appeared on the conveyor belt. We now refer to a certain Cub Foods as the Lube Cub.

Pregnancy Tests - Yeah, this one is especially embarassing if the only available cashier is a pimply face teenager or an old blue haired lady. I usually buy a jumbo box of tampons at the same time.

Breast Pumps: Earlier this year I had a swollen duct in my breast -- I'll spare you the details - but I was desperate to try and relieve the pain, so upon my mother's suggestion I bought one - but she "had" to come with to make sure I got the right one --- and then she wanted to make sure I figured out how to use it --- sheesh MOM!

Erotic How To Manuals: Recently I picked up a Kama sutra to add some zing in the sheets -- no big deal, I've purchased many a vibrator and naughty magazine --- I'm either losing my gumption or it was the environment - but buying anything sexy at Borders just downright makes me blush.
