Ode to my fake Uggs

And now, a haiku...


Dear fake Uggs, You ROCK!
My feet are so toasty warm
All is right today.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops...

Do NOT be fooled.  These are not gum drops.  I was so disappointed...

Lucky for you...

...I'm stuck on a conference call.  Which means this blog will include a random stream of consciousness...

My feet are FREEZING. I think I want some Uggs for Christmas.  Or just because I need them.  I know they are ugly and kind of 2003 or whatever, but obviously they are useful.  Because honestly, there is nothing worse than not being able to warm up, especially on the bottom half!

I broke down and had a diet Dr Pepper.  Or 3.  Today. Shut up...

I'm going part-time for work in exactly 23 days.  I started actually working part-time on Monday.  Oops! 

Every year my mother-in-law buys me a Hallmark Wizard of Oz christmas ornament.  I LOVE them but they don't match my color schemes on my trees every year and so they don't get put on the tree.  It's a damn shame really.  I think I have decided to have a "tacky" christmas next year and I'm going to put every single ornament I own on the tree, along with all of the lights... that includes the red lights, the blue lights, the colored lights, and the white lights.  Aw yeah baby!  Every colored ball, no matter what color, every handmade ornament, every childhood memory ornament, and every single Wizard of Oz ornament.  It's going to be legen...wait for it...DARY!

I am super late this year with Christmas cards.  A friend of mine took BEAUTIFUL pictures of my family and I wanted the pictures for the cards.  Hold your horses people, they will be mailed before the 25th...

This new diet sucks because I actually have to PLAN what I'm going to eat.  Ugh...

More to come later today - conference call is OVER and I can actually do some work now!

AGONY!!!!

So in light of the recent medical problems I've had going on, my doctor has suggested putting me on a low GI diet. For those of you unfamiliar with those words, that means a low GLYCEMIC INDEX diet. In other words, no sugar, no breads, no rice, no sweet fruits, no soda, no anything that I deem worthy of eating lately. I used to be very good about the way I ate. I was a walking advertisement for the South Beach diet or cleaning eating, but here lately, I've developed a bit of a sweet tooth. In fact, a very BAD sweet tooth. I would recent have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich than eat a salad. (This is very rare for me!)

That being said, one of the things I've had to cut out because of my torture... I mean, uh, "diet" is diet Dr. Pepper. I live for a Diet Dr. Pepper. Most people drink coffee to wake up in the morning... not me! I drink DDP. And I love it! And not being able to have any of it is A-G-O-N-Y!!!

This diet sucks.

Blah.

I'm having a down kind of day. I got some interesting news yesterday relating to my health and it's put me in a funk. I normally have a pretty good idea of what's going on when I go to the doctor, etc, but I was definitely not mentally prepared for the news I received yesterday. I'm turning 33 next week and my doctor has suggested that I have a hysterectomy or do a different procedure called an endometrial ablation. Doesn't that sound pleasant?! Either way, I am terrified of what I need to have done. I've never had surgery before and I am scared that something could go wrong.

Blah. :(

'Tis the season

The local radio stations around here waste no time when it comes to playing holiday music.  I heard my first christmas carol on November 1st and I rolled my eyes at the time.  But not this morning.  Oh no sir - this morning I heard one of my favorite christmas songs on the radio...

How can you not get all in the christmas spirit when you hear this song?  This guy is SO peppy and upbeat and FEELING it!  I love it!

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas...  ;)
