Ok so I have this pattern when it comes to blogging. I WANT to blog.. I try and write something everyday but then.. I start to neglect my blog. Then I feel guilty for not blogging.. which is a bit silly being honestly no one read it to begin with but still.. guilty all the same. Then I start thinking I should delete everything in it and start a new.. and thus the process starts a new.I was

I've been avoiding posting. I didn't want to have to get on and go on and on about serious things and explain my downfalls, pitfalls and more.For now I'd rather not go over things past, my little friend whos gone and what not. I miss him and I wish I had been able pull myself and use that experience as a kind of motivation but alas no...I've been a bit down and well avoiding things in general...

I haven't been updating my blog.. I'm bad about that.. I know...(I'm not bothering to spell check, etc. I just need to get this down and I don't feel up to reading over it a second time.)Yesterday I found out a friend of mine passed away. He had slipped into a coma the day before and then died in intensive care. He had been struggling with cancer for a while before. I want to say it was about a

Man.. I'm so bad about keeping things up. Yet again heres something I've started, well intentioned, knowing full well I'd probably start to slack and let it go. Poor old bloggy...Well nothing exciting has been happening really. I've been a bit depressed, money is still tight, the house is still cold and I'm still wishing for things I don't deserve and can never afford.I'm still waiting for some

I can't describe how shocking and upsetting this was.I was fooling around on youtube, just passing the time, and I ran across this video.Quite frankly if this doesn't bother you.. there is something wrong with you...I can't believe that South Korea would feel this way but more over would teach their children to think this way!

I think I've been more snacky not only due to skipping meals (I forget to eat) but also it could be due to the fact that every winter I get 'snacky' and overall just a bit more sleepy and hungry. Yes yes I know.. humans don't hybernate and it sounds silly but its true none the less. lol I was more hungry yesterday than I've been a while perhaps that will explain...... what I had yesterday ...

I was extremely naughty yesterday. teehee ;DWe had company over again and this time we finished up making our characters and started our first geeky little DnD adventure. It was actually alot of fun and I think everyone had a pretty good time. (Up until I couldn't stay awake any longer and had to go to bed.)Since, yet again special occasion of sorts, we had nearly almost healthy chips I got a

Well yesterday was special being we had company and I was trying to show how to make Swedish meatballs. I think it went pretty well except for the fact that I undercooked the meatballs a bit and we had to cover everything and let them sit in the gravy to steam a while. That was so embarrassing! lol I'm usually pretty good about guessing the doneness of meat. Well to be fair it had been a while

I found some lovely images not to mention some really tasty looking recipes today. Theres The Raw Chef for one and I have to say I LOVE the way he presents his food.. its all so beautiful! There was also this other website ain's raw food kitchen and she seems to have a lot of recipes regular people can make and not as much focus on presentation. Both are really nice little websites I'd recommend

We're having company this Friday! Yeah! People! lol We hardly ever have company. I hope it won't be too cold when they come. We're gonna' make some Swedish meatballs on whole wheat pasta and gravy (rather naughty but hopefully it'll be yummy) and some salad and possible green beans. Thats what we're planning but its a few days off so we'll see. In the meantime we still need to finish doing the

Its SO cold!We don't have central heat and the small heater my Dad loaned us is broken but we do have a small radiant heater but it doesn't work unless its pretty much shining ON you. The little heater DOES work but not so much that the coils light up like they should so its hardly putting out any electricity. Mike happened to have a little money today though, after having paid the electric bill

I put some flax seeds and some lentils to sprout a couple of days ago and still nothing exciting happen yet. Some of the flax seeds are starting to have little white tails but I'm getting discouraged.. I don't think these guy are gonna' sprout. I wanted to try to start sprouting things so I can make sure to always have a fresh supply of some green and healthy and fresh to eat even when our

I really need to stop skipping meals. I just don't feel very hungry sometimes though. Its almost 10:30am and I haven't eaten anything yet. I'm thinking about either making myself some fresh juice (meaning juice I've made using my old crappy juicer) or a bowl of cereal with silk and bananas.I was almost totally raw yesterday.

Man it feels good to read my last post.. phew!Of course Mike is telling everyone "Yeah we took her to the doctor, had a bunch of test and now shes fine!" lol Which is very sweet but not ENTIRELY true.

Well I've actually been avoiding writing about this because its not only embarassing but kinda' scary. Its big scary grown-up stuff I wish I could ignore quite frankly.I'm going in to have my colonoscopy & a upper GI tomorrow; so, for the last couple of days now I've been doing the prep.

I found a lovely 'mile a minute' afghan pattern, though I don't know if I have enough yarn. I guess we'll see; though I'd hate to crochet nearly the whole thing and find I don't have enough, can't get any more (let alone in that color) and I'll have to frog the entire thing. *cringe*Oh and I also found what looks to be a very good Jane hat pattern! W00t! Unfortunately I can't make it a surprise

Judging by the title you'd think I was 90. lolI had my sonogram not so long ago now. I had, in fact, planned on writing about it then but I was lazy and put it off. I found out a few days later they found a spot on my liver and, again, I intended on writing about it. This time I think my delay wasn't so much laziness as thoughts elsewhere. They tell me it could be something as simple as a

Well last Thursday was my doctor's appointment. We talked a little about my stomach problems, not much else, and he decided I need some rather invasive testing. *cringe* He says its probably either Crohn's disease or just plain old IBS. They've already drawn blood so now, I suppose, I'm just waiting for them to call me to let me know whats next. He wants me to have an upper GI and a lower GI aka

Well I finally broke down and made a doctor's appointment.*sigh*I've been putting it off for a while now even though Mike and I finally have insurance since I got this new job. He's been threatening to make the appointment for me, well technically he did actually, but in any case its made and I'll be going Thursday morning. (I found the local doctor's office number but he asked for the phone and

*sip*Oh how I love your chocolatey goodness. Mmm..*sip*So as I was avoiding the usual housework, surfing the net endlessly I found cuteness. Behold the cuteness!In other news...I made onion gravy with leftover chipped beef on rice with broccoli on the side. Very nearly healthy aside from the couple pats'o'butter. Mike (hubster) seemed to like it; I thought it was edible. I think With some

CookingI've been a bit under the weather lately, I think it may be allergies. I've been watching You Are What You Eat on BBC America and now I'm seriously considering experimenting more with my cooking. I'd really like to introduce more fresh veggies and fruits and things into our diet but the healthy food is, it seems, the more expensive. Eating more healthily might end up being another one of

Ok I'm much recovered now after my last post..Had a shower, tidied the house a bit and made myself a lovely sandwich. Mmmm. Who'd have thought last night's chicken fried steak leftover would have been the perfect size and shape for the only remaing french roll from the fridge? Destiny.. thats was it is...*munch munch munch*Speaking of counting my blessings (Thanks God for the yummy sandwich for

So I updated my myspace page *shame* and yes I have one.I know so many people love myspace, and thats wonderful, (we all need something to love now don't we?) but I find it rather annoying. The endless flash, blinking, bouncing ads and the never ending exchange of comments. Of course then theres the "blog".. no one seems to actually blog on myspace. It seems its only purpose is to provide a place

Ok so maybe my little "Do It Now!" list idea seems a bit ridiculous. I ran the idea past my husband resulting in a rather blank expression seemingly waiting for some kind of punchline; then ending with a "Well.. whatever works for you (crazy wife o'mine.)" *sigh* So then I ran it by some of my online gaming comrades and again.. not much interest. I wonder if the idea is REALLY that bad or I'm

(This would be the part where I'd go on and on about myself but I think, for a change, I'll forgo the introductions for now and jump right to it.)It was fate, fate I tell you; that, somehow by some miracle, my name was NOT already taken by blogger. Somehow I knew my attempt at being very nearly spontaneous this morning would not go amiss.First let me explain the title. I realize it may seem a bit
