Ordered a light to fight SAD

Here it is:




I will give it a try and post how things go using it. I'm hoping for more energy, motivation etc.

Today is our company's kickoff party for FY06! WooHoo! Free lunch, speechs, etc. Then it is home for this camper and off to Max's tennis party. WooHoo again!

Not that I am trying to be a "cool mom" and I certainly wouldn't go as far as that hootchie mama that just got herself 30 years BUT some of these young boys look pretty damn fine, doable, and like they would totally be into sex. I am reminded of the role Mary Steenburgen played in "My life as a House" with Hayden Christensen, Kevin Kline which was a pretty good movie. Sad and not just because the dad has cancer but sad for other reasons.

Sigh.. took the wrong medication last night..

I feel like I didn't sleep at all last night. Usually, I am right out and sleep well but I took this sinus medication that must have been really expired because it didn't do anything. So, I'm tired. I was fine this a.m. like at 4:30/5 a.m. while driving to work an all but then hit and I mean HIT the wall.

I am reading, A Million Little Pieces.

I am listening to my ipod and the cd's I put on it. I especially like the song, Pocket Rocket Queen by Boy from Brazil. I also am listening to the new Robbie Williams cd and the Spamalot CD.

I am pretty sure I left my wallet with my drivers license at home or in the other car.

I don't like winter that much really at all. I don't like it being dark all the time.

There are times when I...true confessions

• wish I didn't have kids (I'm pretty sure this is a normal thought for those of us that do have kids. It tends to disappear when I look at their pictures and think how much they love me and how much I love them).
  
  
  
• wish I could just disappear and go live on an island like St. Johns or Turks and Caicos (but with the dogs and cats and without sometimes the kids).
  
  
  
• wish I was 20 years younger but knowing all that I do now.
  
  
  
• wish I could eat everything I wanted and not gain weight.
  
  
  
• wish I didn't have to work.
  
  
  
• wish that time went slower so I could do everything I wanted in one day (read, watch tv, play Warcraft, workout and more).
  
  
  
• wish evil, nasty, really bad things on people who have wronged me (but I keep telling myself I'm better then them and that living well is the best revenge).
  
  
  
• wish I lived somewhere with Palm trees and warm weather, beaches year round or even better that I could just follow the sun and always be in whatever part/hemisphere where it was summer.
  
  
  
• wish I had a live in or I lived with a partner/lover/boyfriend who would be there to care about and share my life with me (and stay in bed with on Sat/Sun's).
  
  
  
• wish I had a maid.
  
  
  
• wish I had tons of money.
  
  
  
• I still wish I had a horse or two and I wish I could rescue all the homeless dogs and cats.

November resolutions

Wow.
I going to play/learn html now. Today I went in and fixed my previous post and added the html so that the numbers show and there are breaks and the picture is where I want it and it wasn't that hard!
So, November resolutions:

1. be on time to appointments, meetings, whatever. I'm doing pretty well on this one so far. Not great - I mean, I'm not showing up early for anything but I am on time.
   
   
2. save some money.
   
   
3. get tennis mojo back.
   
   
4. not be redundant - hmm, did I already post my November resolutions? I bet I did.
   
   
5. not be too paranoid.
   
   
6. get more iron. Got my blood work back and not only do I have semi-bad cholesterol, I'm almost anemic. Time to go Popeye and pump up the jam, pump it up, with some spinach.
   
   
7. no more cookies for breakfast - especially when I'm semi-sick and can't taste. It was a waste of a perfectly good HUGE oatmeal raison cookie and I didn't need it.
   
   
8. might actually want to contimplate some sort of new career move, although I make pretty decent cash-ola right now.
   
   

Guilty pleasures

1. Nip/Tuck - great show. Lots of sex and nudity and plastic surgery. I have to admit to wanting to get my boobs done, perked up as it was, eyes are going to be needed to be done before too long, botox is my friend and this site rocks: http://www.yestheyrefake.net
   
   Plus, Julian McMahon is totally HOT.
   
   
   
2. Irish and Irish/Brit men. They are just exquisite. My number one - easy, Painter. My number two and three - Cillian Murphy ( Batman Begins, 28 days later - opening scene is him nude but how some guy could wake up without a stiffy is beyond me, and the new Neil Jordan movie, Breakfast on Pluto where he will play a beautiful, beautiful transvestite) and Jonathon Rhys-Meyer (Bend it like Beckham, Velvet Goldmine (with Ewan McGregor), Vanity Fair).
   
   
   
3. Neiman Marcus and shoes - yes, I have spent more than $400 for a pair of shoes. I have 3 pairs of Prada's, one Manolo Blahnik and lots of fancy shoes. I love them. I especially like my Dolce and Gabbana leopard print kitten heels. Right now I'm looking at this pair of boots from Neiman Marcus..see above
   I'll never get them but I think they are 100% cute!
   
   
   
4. US weekly - yup, I read trash. I even look forward to Friday when it comes in the mail.
   
   
   
5. Ben and Jerry's ice cream (full fat), Whole Foods for greek yogurt, Dalmathes, smoked salmon eskimo candy style, olives, bread - just about everything. KT's barbeque.
   
   
   
6. driving fast - this from someone who has gotten 4 (count 'em) 4 speeding tickets in 2005 alone.
