Yesterday

I got my bible reading done on the drive down to the Orthodontist. That took up the whole day. We made a wrong turn and got to see more of Portland than we usually do. We stopped on the way home to pick up stuff for Dad. We didn't get back till 7pm. Time for chores and supper before heading over to Gramps for NCIS. And time for checking email. My heart skipped a beat when I saw an email from the data recovery people. All of a sudden my confidence evaporated and I was a nervous wreck. Just for a space. Oh, the relief! when row after row of files opened before me! It was almost $700 for the job but oh, so worth it! They are shipping the data out today. It's going to be quite a job sorting and integrating it all. NCIS's were very good! LA is getting a bit more humor.

Slow Sunday

I just watched The Inheritance. Finally... I think Fauna sent it to me six months ago. What a sweet movie! I loved it! I loved the father. Tom Conti, I know I've seen him somewhere before. *goes to look him up* Of course! The Quick and the Dead with Sam Elliot.

I poked around looking at bikes this morning. Mine has pretty much bit the dust. I also found some great reflective gear so I can roller blade after dark this year. I really miss it.

I am having so much fun with my budget in Excel! I've never known how to use a spreadsheet with formulas and all. I've used it for lots of other things. Tickled, just tickled. I fooled with it and tweaked just for the fun of it.

My room has gotten a mess again. I tell you! It only takes half a day... But I'm not cleaning it today. *shakes head emphatically*

I did my bible reading and just rested. I am not letting anything push me. It can all wait till tomorrow.

The puppies are getting so big! It's hard to believe they are six weeks old already. I need to make a vet appointment for them. They are going down the kiddie slide. It's so cute to watch! I should borrow Dad's camera and see if I can get a video of them.

Weeell, I think I will go watch Emma and get caught up for tonight. I completely forgot about it last week. Luke and I went to watch Sherlock Holmes instead.

A blessing

Homeopathy is such a blessing. It just hit me this afternoon. I am still feeling unbalanced. These crazy mood swings are not normal. I should be over this "upset" by now. Some days I am. But then "wup!" down the slippery slope I go again. I think I need a remedy. I looked up "my" remedy, Silica, and sure enough. I have every single mind symptom listed! Yik! I took a dose and I'm feeling better already! Better enough that I read a quarter of that awful book this evening. =)

Doodling

I should be reading a book. But the particular book I need to be reading is so poorly written it's torture to read. So I'm escaping to intireland till I get up the nerve to tackle it again. *grimace*

Exercise felt good. We've got lumps and bumps where they don't need to be. That's ok. *evul grin* They are doomed now. Our poor legs are the worst. They should be the best when we get done. (Does one ever get done exercising?) That's where I carry a lot of my bulk. Right now they are just jelly wobbles. Silly things. Smooth, svelte and strong, that's what we're aiming for! June is the goal. Twice a week till June. No more of this winter wimp trying to garden and collapsing after half a row. We're going to be READY this spring. :D We hope....
(That's the royal "we" by the way.)

5 thing about the opposite sex

I got this off a friend's blog.

What are 5 qualities that turn you off in the opposite sex? -
1. Selfishness
2. Complaining
3. Vulgar
4. Thoughtless
5. Slovenly (ie underwear showing *shudder*)


What are 5 qualities that turn you on in the opposite sex?:
1. Thoughtful of others no matter their age or sex
2. Intelligent
3. Humor
4. Sincerity
5. I'm not quite sure how to say this one. It's not ambition or talent or creativity or industry or hard working but it contains some of all. I admire guys, anyone really, who put to use whatever talent God has given them. Creatively and to the betterment of others. I'm using talent is a VERY broad sense. Plumbing, woodwork, teaching, driving, managing, roofing, poetry. Anything, but to do it with a whole heart to the best of your ability. I especially like watching guys do physical work. But I do understand that not everyone is most gifted is those areas.

This day

A thought I thunked,
I've been told that the Hebrew doesn't really say eternity. It just means over the horizon, beyond what we see. I find that a more comforting concept. Eternity scares me. I used to have a phobia of it like some people do about cats or spiders or dark ( I like the dark, I think it's friendly =) ) or tight places. God's helped me get over it but I still don't try to think about it as forever, just the future, beyond what I can at the moment.

Yay! I exercised this evening. I did just the right amount so I felt good but not wiped out. Ah it felt good! I found some fabric for a back drop for my portraits. I really need to get those done and send that lesson in. I want to be done with this course by my birthday. Got lunch and supper on in good time. Almost done with my bible reading for the day. I had a couple good training sessions with Bree and Echo. I think now finish bible reading, shower and an NCIS. I'll have to make it snappy if I want to have lights out at 10:30. I've been trying to get to bed earlier. IT'S HARD!

Cheers!
