The new love of my life

I brought this baby home with me as a birthday present to myself a few months ago. I've been wanting one for awhile, but had been putting it off because it's quite pricey. I haven't made good use of it yet. Mainly because I'm trying to lose some weight and I have very little self-control. If I had a house full of baked goods, I'd probably eat them all myself. Plus summer is right around the corner. I'd try to share my baked goods with my friends, but most of them are pretty lame and are so worried about their weight so I know they won't eat them.

Happy Administrative Professional's Assistant's Day

Be sure to thanks your administrative assistants's today. Here are 2 cards I made for the girls in my office.

Lunch time fun

Target is right across the street from where I work. There are times when I'm in there practically every day, twice a day even. Lately though I haven't been frequenting it so much. I don't know why. Probably because I've been trying to curb my spending lately and its easier for me to do that if I'm not tempted. Not going to Target = no temptation. I did pop into Target the other day during my lunch break on the premise of getting some plastic storage bins. I did get the storage bins and a few other items.

I got this for my bathroom:


And this cozy hoodie:


I'm totally bummed that I missed out on a totally cute dress. It's been so long since I've been to Target, I totally missed out on scooping up some of the super cute Jovovich-Hawk items that are only available for a limited time. I saw this cute little number, but they only had 3 left, none of which were my size.



While I was walking past the clothes section, I saw my ex-boyfriend's older brother out of the corner of my eye. I quickly turned into the clothes to hide. I did NOT want to see him. I haven't seen him or my horrible ex in 10 years and I did not want to make small talk with this guy and have him go tell his brother he saw me. My relationship with his brother was the WORST relationship ever. I regret ever going out with the guy. Ugh - I cringe just thinking about it. What was I thinking?! Why in the hell did I ever date that guy? My friend, Natasha was with me at Target and she ran into the ex's brother. I saw them talking so I made sure to stay far away. They chatted for a few minutes and he did mention to her that he had seen me from far away. I did feel a little stupid hiding from him, but that feeling is better than having to talk to him. Ugh, I hate living in the same city as my ex again. This never happened when I was living in LA.

How did you get here

I have a site counter attached to this blog. I check the stats every now and then. One thing I find interesting is how people find my blog. Sometimes it's from other blogs and sometimes it's from google searches. What's interesting is the searches that people do that lead them here. One of the most recent searches was "why are my panties soaking wet by morning." This search lead the user to this post about how I sat down on a wet seat at church. I doubt my post had anything relevant to the user, but I sure hope that she eventually found the answer.

Autism Awareness

April 2 was Autism Awareness Day, so this post is a few days late. Autism is something I've been reading a lot about lately. One of my cousin's (he's really more like a baby brother to me) is border-line autistic. He's a senior in high school now and is very high-functioning. He's a very smart kid, he's just is a little off sometimes. He doesn't have very good conversation skills and is very very socially awkward. It's really hard to talk to him. I can only understand about half of the things that come out of his mouth. Lots of what he says in nonsense. He talks mostly about cartoons. He's like a a 10 year with bad manners. The worst thing about it is that his parents ignore it like there's nothing different about him. They never took him to classes or anything of the sort. It makes me so sad and upsets me when I think about it. He was such a good kid growing up. He's very sweet and considerate. Classes could've helped his development so much. He gets frustrated and very easily upset, especially when he's talking to people. It's very hard for him to express himself. Because of this, he gets frustrated when he's trying to talk to somebody and they can't understand what he's saying. So if he's talking to me and I say to him "What did you just say? Can you say it again?," he'll just say "Nevermind. Forget it" and start rambling again about something else. Recently I found out that another one of my cousin's has been diagnosed as autistic. He's three years old. He hasn't started speaking yet, which is why his parents were getting him tested. He can say "hi" and "bye" but that's pretty much it. Thankfully, his parents are taking him to classes two times a week.

This whole autism thing is pretty scary. It seems like more and more kids these days are being diagnosed as autistic. I saw this article on CNN the other day that I found it pretty interesting. Hopefully they can find out what causes autism. I know it will be awhile from now. I do what I can to help. Have you ever heard of Good Search? It's a search engine powered by Yahoo! With every search you do, money gets donated to an organization or school of your choice. I use it as my search engine and I've designated my organization of choice to be Cure Autism Now. You should try it too. Pick an organzation you like and help them out too.

A little TMI

A few months ago my doctor switched the type of birth control I was on. It's one of those low dose estrogen ones. I was told to give it a few months to see if it was a good match for me. All was going well until last month. Normally that time of the month comes for me like clockwork. It comes on Wednesday and is gone by Sunday. Last month it came and went. Then 2 weeks later I had it again! This time it lasted for 10 days! I chalked it up to my body adjusting and what not so I didn't do anything about it. Yesterday I had some spotting again. This time I made a phone call to my doctor and I'm scheduled to go back in next week to switch the type of pills I'm on. I'm told the problem has something to do with the low levels of estrogen. I hope things get back to normal soon.

Maybe I should just quit

At my job, we work one Saturday a month. For some reason, the Saturday we work always happens to fall on a day where there are some good sample sales going on. Since I can't go, maybe those of you that are fortunate enough to NOT be working can go instead.

Sunday morning surprise

You know what really sucks? Going to church, sitting down and then jumping right up out of your seat because it's all wet and then having to sit through the whole service with wet pants. That happened to me Sunday morning at church. The first thought that ran through my head was "Oh god, I hope its not pee." Ew, can you imagine if it had been. Luckily for me it was just rain. It had been raining Saturday night and apparently the roof at church has some leaks in it. As soon as I sat down, my butt felt wet. I immediately got up and went to the bathroom to try and dry off as much as possible. It's not like my pants were soaking wet or anything. They were just wet enough for it to be annoying and uncomfortable. And I was wearing leggings. Leggings! Let me tell you, sitting for an hour with wet leggings right against your skin is not a good feeling.
