Today I Like:

     Charter will soon be gone from my life!

     Caribou Coffee

     Cool-looking, long painted fingernails of uniform length, despite the fact that they interfere with almost everything I do.

     Cherries….dark red, sweet, & juicy.  And on special at the grocery store.  Yum!

     Cottage cheese & red peppers

     Copious amounts of Diet Pepsi

     Cleaning supplies – from my Norwex party I got a free mop, cleaning cloth, body cloth, laundry detergent, and most of a jar of cleaning paste (as in I only had to pay for a bit of it…I am getting a full jar J).  I also bought some dryer balls so I don’t have to use fabric softener on my towels yet hopefully they won’t be scratchy.

     Cake…as in my birthday is tomorrow!  Not like I’ll do anything but it’s fun just the same.  I might buy myself this for a present.

     “C”-ing (OK, that was a stretch) a new number on the scale this week.  I’ve now officially hit the twenty-pounds-lost mark.

Today I Don’t Like:

     Logging on to my school email this morning and realizing that I have to take a final tomorrow!  It was on the schedule I got at the beginning of the semester but still it sneaked up on me.

     Lake cabin party for work that I’ll be missing tonight due to the aforementioned lack of planning on my part.  L

     Losing my Charter email address after tomorrow.  It’s hard to try to notify everyone when I get a new one.

     Labor – as in work, as in sitting at my desk today when I’d rather be at home studying or sitting out in the sun (or both)!

What I’m annoyed by today:

·      Cranky coworkers

·      Anemia – the exhaustion, headache, and coldness.  I’m going to take iron for a few days; eventually I should feel better.

·      My messy desk

·      Computer trouble that keeps me from doing my job and drives me to blog instead.

·      That the only color printer on this floor is under my desk and everyone and their brother knows about it and uses it, then expects me to drop what I’m doing and get their crap off of it.

What I like today:

I wasn't going to do this today (because if I do it every week I'll become predictable), but what the hey.  Here goes:

Today I loathe:

• Spending all day at work reading about FDA inspections.  I'm writing a mock inspection for our students to do as a learning tool.  Important stuff, but reading about the FDA all day sure makes me tired.
• That I slept horribly last night and as a result am quite tired today.
• That it's only Tuesday (see above bullet item).
• Being unmotivated to study for my coag final.
• Bad hair days.

Today I love:

• Red wine.
• The killer lasagna I have in the oven.  I can't wait to eat it!!
• That I fixed a door at work today.
• Long, painted fingernails, makeup, great shoes, jewelry, and other things that make me feel like a girl.
• The color scheme we've decided on for our bathroom.
• My kids.
• Spring - finally!  I'm even ok with those fabled April showers, as long as they're not snow showers.

That'll do it.  :)  Gotta go get my lasagna out of the oven.

Today I'm liking:

• Sunshine and 62 degrees.  Finally!
• Fitting into jeans that used to be indecently tight.
• Feeling better than I did last Tuesday!  :)
• My new red patent shoes.  I've wanted a pair for a long time.  They're just cheapies for fun, and fun is what they are.  I wore them to work today and got several compliments.
• Speaking of work, I love lab teaching exercises that work the way they're supposed to.
• Green and red peppers.  They're so pretty and make a good afternoon snack.
• My new haircut.
• Being able to grocery (& other) shop with Brian while the kids are at Awana.  It's a pathetic excuse for date night but we'll take what we can get!  Besides, it beats the heck out of doing the shopping with the kids.
• This cool razor I got Brian for shaving his head.  He hasn't used it yet but I can't wait for him to try it!

Headblade Sport

Today I'm not liking:

• Being obsessed with my weight.
• Not losing pounds this week.  I think I know the reason why I'm not losing but I'm not sure how to solve it in a healthy way.
• Having my coag final looming over my head.  I need to force myself to buckle down & study.
• Nothing else, really.  Today was a good day!

Things I'm hating today:

• When things don't go as planned.
• When things don't go well because I planned badly.
• Being a girl.
• The fact that it's April and its supposed to snow tonight.
• That my weight is up - hopefully only temporarily.
• Not being able to communicate with people.
• A scanner that doesn't work, when it worked fine yesterday!. >:-(

Things I like today:

• Nuts with lots of salt.
• That I can have really dark chocolate on SBD.....I found 70% cacao with toasted coconut today!
• That the pilot light in my gas fireplace still works.
• My navy fleece jacket...I wear the thing everywhere.  It's warm & comfy. 
• That I figured out how to get the musty smell out of my towels (apparently this is a well-documented hazard of having a front-loader)

So today the bad outweighs the good.  It's been a cruddy day.

To Die For

I don't know how I've survived without them up until this point.
