Thanksgiving!

Woot! It's Thanksgiving finally! We're driving home tonight (well my home) and going to stay with my sister tonight. Driving back Thanksgiving night. Going to be a busy busy next two days. The rest of this post is for my personal reference only. Since nobody else reads this blog I can do whatever I want!

Supplements I started taking/retaking:
(as of 11/24)

- Vitex - supposed to help with my insane PMS
- Multivitamin - with iron since I have an issue with that
- Fiber pills - to help with well...
- Probiotics - works in conjunction with above
- Milk Thistle - for the old liver

The thistle, fiber, vitamin, and vitex are taken at night. The morning is vitex and probiotics.


Lets see how long I keep it up after a month. Excellent. Short short post I know.

Bridges Burning!

So upon marriage I have now started to see a sobering reality. While, without kids, my husband and I can drop everything and go out together. We cannot just drop everything and go out separately. He's like a parent there, wanting to know where I'm going, when I'll be back, if I'll be safe, and who I am going out with. Now granted, I will do the same thing to him, it's no different which one of use tries to escape the other one.

We are free to live our lives together but not separately. So in order to go out with any girlfriends, I always feel like I have to ask to go out. Check that out non married people. It's not that I am forced to stay home, but I do have to take into consideration my husbands feelings. Crazy.

So because of all of this, I sometimes feel like I burn up bridges. It's not intentional at all, but I think it is why married people end up having kids. They have shunned their single friends not with force, but with the reality that hanging out with just one spouse is incredibly hard. The married couple needs something else to fill the void they used to have full of single carefree friends.

Marriage has so many perks but sometimes is so incredibly lonely.

Short Days

I think I have hit that point where I really just don't like my job. I also have hit the point where I refuse to be one of those people that continue to work somewhere they hate. You know the type, the ones that constantly bitch about this or that. I am not one of those people. Every ounce of my being is going to be put forth the effort of moving to the farm, getting another horse, and finishing school. Not in any particular order either.

Short post, but I just needed to say it.

Christmas? I think so!

It is coming people! The Christmas season is among us! You know what that means.................................

It's my favorite season of the year!!!!!!! There are holiday parties, eggnog, christmas trees, christmas lights, dancing, singing, and love. I'm already past excited about it! I am going to do a small non-formal x-mas party this year. Maybe 4-5 friends but something amazing. AMAZING. Stuff I've always wanted to make, but hadn't gotten that far yet. I may even buy a new kitchen table! CRAZY TALK.

Excitement!

Good Karma?

I've been in an extremely good mood lately. Yesterday was a trip because I was just *happy* the entire day. Today is much the same. I've got lots of stuff planned over the next few weeks too, the holidays are really in full swing!

This weekend I work at my second job and am taking Joe's grandmother out to dinner on Saturday night. Something nice for her. Sunday we have church stuff to do all morning and not sure what after that and then our financial peace class.

Next weekend we're going to the lake with Joe's brother. This should be A LOT of fun. His brother has never done the lake cold before so we are going to rock his world! I am trying to think of dinner on Saturday night. Something stick to your ribs. I'm thinking beef or chicken. Like roast a whole chicken or do beef short ribs. We will need it after a full day of plinkering around outside. I may try to make bread down there, but I am not sure if that will work because of the temps. I'm still deciding on that one.

I've also been doing really good with eating and exercise. My alcohol consumption is cut by 3/4's! I've now got some rules down for myself for what I can and can't drink. That is probably the best option I have right now. I have also been trying to get Joe to go with me to the gym, but he is being a stubborn bastard. I'll work it in.

Tea! Glorious tea! It's gotten cool enough that that is all we've been drinking at night lately. I think I have spent 25 bucks in teas and we have gone through a fourth of it. We drink 1-3 cups a night. I love the cold weather.

Buck has also taken almost an unhealthy obsession with me lately. I don't know if he has always had it, or if I'm just now noticing it. He follows me EVERYWHERE. If I'm sitting on the floor he wants to be right next to me if not in my lap. If I'm in a room, he has to be there. Joe said the other night when I was gone Buck was pacing the house for me. Poor guy, I think I should start ignoring him more. Shadow doesn't act like that.

Oh! I've also filled out a couple volunteer applications! I turned in one for the metro parks system and one for Girl Scouts. I am currently looking for a horse rescue as well to work with. I'm thinking maybe this leads to good karma? Doing good stuff for my community? I want to work with MAS too, but they didn't have anything online about their volunteer program like they used to.

That's all I've got right now. I'm going to attempt to find something to wear to work, although I know it will be a struggle. Always is.
