hula hoops and hampster wheels

I'm back to drinking diet coke, it doesn't taste as good as it once does but it's getting better. In addition to drinking diet coke I've also incorporated crystal lite into my liquid consumption, that and a glass of wine with dinner -- I haven't ended up in the hospital yet, so maybe my sulfate tolerance is building -- cause I've also been eating raisins and dehydrated fruits. Fake healthiness is oozing from me!

I'm not sure what it is -- maybe I'm just getting old but Diet Coke no longer tastes good -- I think I might have OD'd on it - because now it's almost hard to drink, and the bubbles are really intense -- and doritos are spicy --- maybe it's a full moon? maybe it's finally being able to taste after having a head cold? I don't know. But it's kinda of annoying -- so I've made the unofficial switch to diet sunkist -- or regular sunkist and ginger ale is also a tasty treat -- so I now I like my soda cold - fruity and stirred so the bubbles are so bubbly... yes, this was some cold I had.
Maybe I just burnt my tongue on something... hmm. uh oh just had a sneezing fit -- Ava Mazur style with over 5 sneezes in a row. I'm a bit winded now. Ps I love juice now.

I've never spent so much ime in bed for one whole weekend - I've slept hours and hours on end, watched the movies I picked up on friday night which included: The Jane Austen Book Club, American Gangster, No Reservations and Once --- which was about music or somthing, & I fell asleep almost immediately after pushing play. You guessed it -- I'm sick. I'm pretty sure it's an ear infection/sinus infection because when ever I yawn or burp like the delicate flower I am, my ears pop and I feel better for maybe 5 minutes.

I'm drinking lots of tea, honey/lemon water --- I'm considering torturing myself with the clove of garlic. I'm off to run to the store to get some OTC medicine. I'm sick of mucus so I think I"m going to have popsicles and oj for dinner -- maybe some crackers since I need my carbs. Maybe I'll make soup -- ahhh I'm too lazy to actually make soup today, I might open and heat up a can of soup. Not the same I know. I know this next part will come as a complete shock -- I'm sick of diet coke. I've been drinking water - tea and oj like crazy. Gatorade sounds good right now -- ok I better go to the store and stock up on supplies.

I'm blaming Day Light Savings.

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.
*I tried Salt N Pepper chips this weekend


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)
