I'm BORED!!!

OK. Summer is now officially old. Other than going out to the Haven, I have done mostly nothing. I am so tired of sleeping all the time, but there is nothing else to do. It is too hot during the day to walk the dogs. Ranger huffs and puffs for HOURS when I take them in the afternoon. It is not good for them. Dr. Phil is even getting on my nerves, and I used to love watching him. He is getting too liberal and politically correct, and making it sound like "therapist advice!" (Right now he is talking about the "N" word. You know, when I was younger, that was not a bad word! In fact, my dad still uses it! It wasn't bad until the OJ Simpson fiasco. I think if that is a bad word, then "honkey" should be a bad word, too.)

I have already finished 2 novels and gotten a sunburn. I have re-painted my sunroom and shampooed my carpets. I am thinking of repainting my hallway, too. The only problem is...paint costs MONEY! I have been learning how to edit my school web page. That has killed some time. Well, I guess I'll go find something to clean! :)

SLAMMIN' SAMMY!

Well, I know most people don't care that Sammy Sosa just hit his 600th homerun, but I do! Of course, I was out working in the yard when he did it! :-( Oh well. He still did it, and that is all that matters.

I have done very well with my exercise this week. I have done some sort of exercise every day. I have also only had 2 cokes so far this week. The rest has been water. Lemon water has saved me! I just can't stand drinking lots of "normal" water! I have also discovered the Paradise Fruit from Bahama Bucks. WOW! That stuff is good. BUT...since it is so expensive, I have decided to make my own at home. Fresh fruit is expensive, though. I did but some and made a big fresh fruit salad for snacks. Hopefully I will lose some of this extra "thyroid" weight!

2nd Job to Pay the Bills!

Well, I have a job interview on Wednesday at Advanced Graphics. It is for a part time sales assistant position. I will be doing computer work, setting up displays, answering phones, etc. It pays $10 an hour. I hate to have to get another job, but this whole surgery, radiation, and medication thing kinda put a crimp in the budget! $3 a gallon gas is not helping at all! I hope it will be mornings and no weekends, but I will do just about any day and time at this point. You know, it really makes Frenship look bad when their teachers with MASTER'S DEGREES have to get a second job to pay the bills. I feel like I wasted my parent's money by getting that degree since I am not getting paid for it. It is really pretty degrading and makes me feel like a huge failure! And, you know, I really don't have that many bills. House payment, utilities, credit card, furniture (which will be paid off at the end of August), car and pet insurance, Bodyworks, and life insurance. I guess the house payment is the killer. My medical is taken out of my check every month: nearly $300, and that is just for medication! Oh well, I guess I will look at it this way...I will NOT be in debt, I am being responsible, AND maybe God will introduce me to my husband! (Since I didn't meet a Dr. McDreamy last August!) I will meet new people and have some adult conversation. It could be fun! I will keep you "posted!" HA! :-)

IT'S SUMMER!

YEE HAW!! I am so glad I am finally off! I was actually kinda sad to see my kids leave on Friday. It doesn't hit me until everyone is gone and I see desks that are completely empty: no books, trash, pencils, papers, etc. It is not so bad now, though, because I will get to see most of them again next year just down the hall.

I will be able to get way more exercise now, too. I am always so much more faithful in the summer than during the year. I can walk the babies a couple of times a day, plus go to the gym. I also work in the yard quite a bit. Maybe the exercise will help me to not be so forgetful!! I can't seem to remember anything! (Marti, I am SO SORRY that I missed Ry's game! I promise I was was going to come! I just fell asleep. What else is new, right?) I guess "Slacker Central" really is a good name for this site!
