no more pills

I have been taking some pain medication and it is totally messing with my head.. and making me very nauseous. I am going to stick with ibuprofens. Tomorrow night Mic's uncle J is coming over to take a look at me. He is a spine specialist. I am not going to be going in to work again tomorrow as I just can't sit in a chair for more than about 2 min. I probably will be getting an MRI this week.

I am going to be missing belly dancing on Tuesday - and that makes me more upset than you could know.

This f-ing sucks.

I am laying on the family room floor.


My back went out in a bad way as I was carrying a very heavy laundry basket up the stairs.

I am so pissed off at myself. I shouldn't have allowed myself to carry that much.

I had to call my mom and tell her I wasn't coming out for Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to go to my parents house so bad. My mom LOVES Thanksgiving (as it isn't a "gift giving holiday") and it was just going to be my bro and I for dinner.

I need more pills.

love.

I just can't say enough about Yelp... I am sure all of you (the three people that read this) know about it.. but I feel as if I have to pay homage just in case.

WWW.Yelp.Com - go there, register, and start reviewing anything and everything. It gets fun when you start to upload pictures and stuff, too. Everywhere I go, I Yelp. Its especially addicting when you first sign up and you are yelping every restaurant and garage, and public restroom you have ever set foot in. Clear your schedule and Yelp away!

Okay NONNY!!! sheesh.

I am back at work. *gulp* I need to find something to do with my life. Ever since high school I have wanted to go into AODA counseling. My mom talked me out of it, for reasons I will not go into here -- for someday she may read this, and it would mainly be my own opinion. I would never do it now, I don't have the patience or desire to go back to school. I do know that I feel as if I am floating right now. I have so many passions in my life... and I just kind of tinker in them. I need to really start moving.. trying.. going..

Its frustration making itself known.

Tonight I had my first belly dancing class with Jennifer from this studio.
I didn't talk to another woman there, but I can honestly say that I had a GREAT time.. and a GREAT workout! I love to move.. sometimes my body in the terrible shape that it is in, doesn't move like I want it to, and I think this will really help. I can't wait to go back. It was so feminine and beautiful, and I wasn't the most out of shape woman there (phew!)

neg-at-tory good buddy.

Not this month.

There is much to give praise for, though! I had a fantastic weekend! I was able to spend the weekend up north with Greg and Maurice. Sunday we went to the best pizza place in Neenah, Cranky Pats. We got together with Lisa's younger sister, Christina, and her boyfriend Murray, and their little one, Don. It was SO good to see them! Little Don is adorable and so is Murray ;) .. I hope that they will be able to come down to Milwaukee someday and hang. I told them they can come down, use our house as a B&B and I will take care of the baby while they do fun couple stuff. I hope they will take me up on it. Mic would love to see them as well. Monday Maurice and I hung out- and went shopping.. it was a lot of fun.. we had some good laughs, and it is always good to re-connect with him when it is just he and I. We can talk and share in a way we don't do when our SO's are around. I am sure everyone has friends like that. Tuesday I got up early, went to see my sisters new club, Lake Park Swim and Fitness..I wasn't able to make it to the grand opening, so it was really good to see her and hang and chit chat. She was really proud of her accomplishments, and I am SOOO proud of her, too! I also was able to take a trip out to the cemetery to visit Lisa's niche. It was the first time I was there since her death (almost 2 years ago-- I still can't believe it) and it was surreal. I am glad I was on a time constraint, as I probably would have spent hours there crying. She is still on my mind on a daily basis. Thankfully I had to jet off to meet my friend Amy (Nonny) at a place called Fire in Appleton. We had a fantastic time making some fused glass jewelry and I started a mosaic, I don't know what I was thinking choosing something so hard for the first time. I will go back and work on it again, I am sure! Otherwise I will just make some more fused glass. I am looking forward to seeing how that will turn out. Nonny and I have been friends since high school-- no matter how long it goes between our talks, we always pick up where we left off. I had a GREAT time-- and feel really lucky have been able to spend some time with her.

Today I am home-- and for some crazy reason (habit, I think) I was watching TLC with all the baby shows. I got MAD... turned it off, and started dillydallying. I do think that this past try was far more on track than the first. I also found out that one of my sisters had to use clomid after at year of trying. I think I may go to see her doctor in a few months if it still isn't working.

I have a big day ahead of me... laundry, work out, make dinner, tidy house (my parents are coming over tomorrow!), I love "at home" vacations.

hehehehhehehhe

Even BETTER than the Beyonce vid's are these...


Justin... The butt rub part is cllasssiiicc...

I can't imagine how much time that it took to move furniture out of rooms for these productions..

rawwrrr

ohh lala

This guy was on a talk show bustin' his moves. (with more clothes, of course)

EEP! Should I have known that many of the moves came from this dandy??

LOVE.


The truth is that I really wish I could move half as good as these dudes do. Enter in my fascination with drag queens.......

Casey Fierce

I am starting to get these moves down- though, its a whole different kind of phat when its being done by a white redhead about 5.75x's bigger than Beyonce.

I can NOT get enough of this video.
