Organizer

It finally happened... I got my Organizer...I can organize my life

I found one that is perfect and not too expensive.
The expensive ones are useless anyways.

Either way I will spend most my time filling it up today.
Not too much up today.
I had Jimmy Johns for lunch and ran errands on my lunch.

I might go to Ribfest with Sarah tonight. Ribfest is in Naperville by the way. And it is what it says. Tons of Ribs and other minor foods too. So we'll see.

Flying By

Today is flying by. I had 5 calls to make right when I came in and was able to pay a couple bills eat lunch and pay for my car registration. I have also been checking blogs and updating mine.



It has been a slow work day though. I am getting ready to do some work here soon.



I think I am ready to start the month of July. I have been getting on myself to make changes little by little and go back to the real Jen. The Jen that has control.



I still need my organizer but I will be going to Office Max tonight to bind my new catty' s from Stampin Up! I WILL find one.



So I am still off pop, diet only, its hard in the beginning but I have now gotten used to it.

I have also been watching what I eat, not dieting, just trying to eat better, I do still eat some fast food but in smaller portions than normal.

I have been walking when I have the time and mostly with Dennis.
I really need to go to the gym because I am paying for it and never go.

What else, I am trying to get some control of my Stampin up business and getting that back on track.

So things are coming together all around, I am getting there step by step.

Well thats it for me I need to put my stamp order in.

BYE...

Why doesn't the door code work?

Yea that was the question this morning when I walked in to work. So I go get Al who sits on the outside of the office. "So who got fired or did some one quit" hoping it wasn't me. Yep it was Howard the new guy, IGB(Illinios Gaming Board) pulled his badge for something he had done in the past. I don't know what but I don't think he is coming back.

Sucky for me...He is my relief, I have to go back to working all the way up to 7:30 and asking someone to stay if I want to leave early. What a fucking crock. Whatever!

So the rest of the day was fine and I am just ready to go home.

I should have a box of new catalogs sitting on my porch waiting for me.
I love our new catalog, very fun...


See ya later

Busy Days Off...

Okay heres my update of being off.

Saturday: Went to Dinner with Me and Dennis's friend that is back from the Marines.
We went to Chilis, I had to be up early ass the next day so we stayed local. Before I even ate anything I got a knot in my stomach, which sucked because I couldn't eat. They have a really good Buffalo chicken salad and I took 4 or 5 bites. I felt so bad beacuse I wasn't paying for it. Either way we had a fun time catching up. I got back to the house about 12:30ish and had to pack for the next day in Chicago. Me and Jacki were going and had to catch an early train.
So I went to bed at her house around 2:00/2:30.

Sunday: Woke up 6:30am wow I got tons of sleep, sure... Got ready pretty quickly and took Mia to Coal City. Me and Jacki booked it to the train station in record time. Jacki was driving and I was putting make-up on which is a good thing because I would of probably freaked out other wise.
The two best parts of the drive were me pointing to huge cat tails and Jacki looking as we took the corner from hell and went off road recovery. As we were taking the corner I put my hands over my eyes. My comment was "So does the driver of the other vehicle freak out when the passenger has their eyes covered. We cracked up and I just cracked up agian just thinking about it. The second best part was trying to paint my toe nails while taking the Center St. exit off of 80. That was interesting.
It gets better: So we get to the station with mear minutes to spare, this is a problem, we have no money. So we get on the train anyway. Me and Jacki just kinda sat quiet thinking how we were going to get out of this one. We avoided the guy once by moving. We just needed to make it to Blue Island were her cousin was getting on. But we both didn't think we were going to be able to make it. So we resaulted in asking (jacki that is) a person near us for $10.00 just until Ble Island. It all worked out but we were a little worried up until that point.
We had a really fun day in Chicago except for the motion sickness combined without eating all day me and her got on the L train. Other wise we were wiped out by the end of the day and I pretty much fell out as soon as I got home.

Monday: I had nothing planned and wanted to go swimming. We hadn't seen the pool in a while and with all the rain the pool turned green, really green. So we went to Wilmington ran some errands with Dennis's mom and put the nessesary stuff in the pool. We left late afternoon and came back to Crest Hill. We were just tired so we bummed around the house. I actually fell asleep for a while. I think I was making up for lost sleep the day before. We both washed my car when I woke up, which was fun and then took a walk around the block right at dark. We came home and I made three meals at once. Dinner, breakfast for him, and lunch for me. Wow I multitasked. It was a really nice time of just hanging out together.

Tuesday: Worked at Frosty Tips 12-5pm. While I was there I worked on a couple cards for stamp a stack. It rained so it became kinda boring. I went home after and worked on more cards. I had to make 5 cards for 8 people. When Dennis got off work we did Walmart shopping, I hate when that is expensive. Then got Burger King Tuesday was .69 cheesburgers. Yum.
I went right back to work on my cards until 1:30am. I wasn't done but I couldn't stay up any longer.

Wednesday: Busy ass day. I woke up around 10:00am I went directly into my room to finish 2 cards. My motivation was swimming in the pool. I worked my ass off in that room until 1:30pm.
No shower hair everywear I threw on some clothes and out the door I went. Car all packed up and ready to go. Dennis followed me down. I promised Lindsay I would take her food for lunch. I almost forgot. Now I told myself I had to leave Wilmington at 3:30. To give time to get to Jackis by 4:00. It was 2:15 as I was getting food for my sister. I ate a quick lunch with her and headed to Dennis's parents, 5 min away. It was 10 to 3:00 when I got there. I was so ready to jump in the pool. I went inside the house and Dennis's mom asked me to do doggie poo patrol. Yeah sure I have time for that. The reason being Dennis was cutting the lawn. So I am just the look out I do not touch it. As much as I wanted to say hell no, its their pool. So jumped in the pool at 3:00 swam around until 3:20. I was able to jump in the shower get almost 100% ready and leave at 3:40. Holy crap.
So all is well, I get to Jacki's for our SAS the night went well. I went to bed late about 1:00, not wanting to go to work the next day.

Here are 8 Random facts about me

I was Tagged by Jacki so here are eight random facts about me.

1. I always wanted dark hair and skin when I was growing up. I pretty much wanted to be Italian. I have gotten over that now I enjoy my red hair.

2. I have a secret that only few know and many will never find out.

3. I can not function in very hot weather or really humid weather. I get all crazy and bitchy. My perfect temp is 70 to 75 degrees.

4. I wish that I had an awesome smile. I have always envied people who always took great pictures and looked really happy in them.

5. I love music. I love to listen to it as loud as possible. When I am stressed it takes the pressure off of my chest. It also makes me more productive ie. getting ready, working with cards, cleaning.

6. I would go crazy if I had to be in a house all by my self with no background noise at night. I think my mind would start taking over. Now if you added a power outage to the equation I would rather be outside than be in the house. Weird...I know.

7. Im a figgiter(I don't know is that is a word) I can not sit still long. It keeps my mind calm to figget and if you dont' see me moving I am probably chewing on my tounge. I do it with out knowing it. By the way I do not chew hard, I don't usually feel it.

8. I love the fact that I can be my crazy self around Jacki and Dennis. They know the true me and accept that. I fool around like a kid alot, who wants to grow up. I am trying to be myself around other people that are close to me, but it is hard to get over self conciousness.

Yeah so I hope you learned alot about me today.

My Sign Scorpio: Some Interesting Fact about me and my sign

TraditionalScorpio Traits
Determined and forceful
Emotional and intuitive
Powerful and passionate
Exciting and magnetic

On the dark side....
Jealous and resentful
Compulsive and obsessive
Secretive and obstinate

Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior.
But those of us who are particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful composure of Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them.
In their everyday behavior they give the appearance of being withdrawn from the center of activity, yet those who know them will recognize the watchfulness that is part of their character. They need great self-discipline, because they are able to recognize the qualities in themselves that make them different from other humans, and to know their utterly conventional natures can be used for great good, or great evil. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Their sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger.

Their sensitivity, together with a propensity for extreme likes and dislikes make them easily hurt, quick to detect insult or injury to themselves (often when none is intended) and easily aroused to ferocious anger. This may express itself in such destructive speech or action for they find it difficult not to be overly critical of anything or anyone to whom they take a dislike.
They do, however, make excellent friends. The other extreme is the procrastinator, the man or woman who is capable of so much that they do nothing and become indolent and self-indulgent, requiring extravagant praise and flattery from those whom they make their cronies.
Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most sensually energetic of all the signs. Their overriding urge in loving is to use their power to penetrate beyond themselves and to lose themselves sexually in their partners in an almost mystical ecstasy
Here one of four problems that scorpios have: I only have this one.
Problem: Suffering from an inferior complex where you feel self disgust and are disdainful of help from others. Solution: You should try to admit that others, as well as yourself, have weakness and then practice forgiving those weaknesses until you notice them becoming less and less. Unbend and accept that you can be helped in your problems.

I am a very private person and don't like people prying into my business and personal life. I feel that people judge to easily with out knowing the real problems. I don't like feeling less of a person in this case. This is a problem I have and it took a nervous break down to realize my problem. I am still slightly hesitant to release too much information but lets just say I let more out than before.

This is something new I am going to do copy my horoscope and comment on it.


Mine are usually close.





Scorpio
October 23 - November 21


You are very organized and rigorous person, dear Scorpio. You plan everything around you. But with today's energy, you will be inclined to let the day go by without keeping to a tight schedule. After all, not every day needs to be a workday! You can easily be worried but don't let this get you down! Follow the people around you! They will teach you to see the world differently! You will even think about new ways to organize your life.





I am a very organized and rigorous person, lately not as organized as I would like to be. I even bought a an organizer and it was the wrong year. Come on seriously!!! I need to be organized to function. As far as the workday. I have to make many calls regarding Stamp Camp and I have certain bills to pay where the worrying would come in. I am so looking for new ways to organize my life and just Monday one of the girls at the meeting gave some pointers on how she organizes for her business. Yeah.


So this horoscope makes sense.

Another Update

Hey Im back with an update of my dad. He is home and is doing good. He is tired and gets lots of sleep which is good.

On Thursday, me and my sister went with my Dad to Hines Hospital. I just have to say the doctors, nurses, volunteer and other workers are absolutly awesome. Everyone was so nice it was crazy. We got flowers for the CCU nurses. I hope they liked them.

The weirdest thing I had to do was feed my dad his lunch. He was fine but just couldn't move his body. I am really glad that I was at the hospital this time. The majority of the time was waiting but me and Sarah kept each other company.

I have to work at Frosty Tips tonight I am getting off at 6:00. It will be a long day.

I am also picking up a electric hedge clipper for my dad today from Home Depot for Fathers Day.
I also went online and sent a gift card to Dennis dad from Farm and Fleet. Its in Bradley and we can't drive out there so he will get it in the mail. I wish I would of thought of that sooner.

I was able to find the hedge clipper I wanted on the internet also. I went to Menards but I could only look at the ads and even that was complicated. So as easy as that they lost my business. It is weird how the smallest things happen. I will still go to Menards again I like them better than Home Depot (it stresses me out) but this had to happen today so I am going on my lunch.

I will spend the day with my dad and probably work the night shift at Hollywood. Do I want to no, but it will help with the day I took off and me leaving early today. It is easy but tirering day.

I have been doing good. I enjoyed my time off as busy as it was.

I got busy at work and wasn't able to finish this boo
Got to go

Mia is 1

Happy Bithday Mia! On June 2nd Mia turned 1 and she was definatley overwhelmed.

I think she really enjoyed it. I know she was wondering why all the people were around.
Presents, presents, and more present. Holy cow this girl made out
This is Mia on the toy I got her. Her feet don't touch yet but she likes to be pushed and she plays with all of the fun things on it.
Auntie Jen and Mia I love this little girl and would do anything for her. It was a great day all around and Jacki, Ed both familys and me were exhausted by the end of the night.

Fishing on memorial day weekend.

Here are some pic of me and my family fishing at the lake "Lake Will" My mom just got a lake lot.
This night I stayed in a tent but since then she has gotten a camper.




I thought this was an awesome picture of my family fishing. They didn't know I was taking the picture.
Yeah I caught a fish. I caught one much bigger but its not on my camera.



Okay to explain these last two pictures. Number 1 Sarah's outfit. That day we called her Paris because she as wearing a skirt and had her hair done. So she had pants in her car and I gave her one of my hoodies. Total fashion trend, watch out. 2 she is riding a cooler she looks like she is a little kid with a new toy, hilarious. 3 I am on some elses boat I retardedly hooked my line on the damn boat and I had to get on it to retrieve my line. So of course there has to be a pic of it. I am saying its mine.

Update on my dad

When my dad went in for his stress test, it didn't take long for them to find something wrong.

They decided that they were going to do an angiogram to shot dye into his arteries. They found 4 blockages. One was 99% blocked. They gave my dad a decision between bypass surgery or inserting stints into the arteries to open them up. The recovery time for the stints is days compared to weeks for open heart surgery. They went through his groin artery.

Yes I was freaking out and I was at work at the time. When they found the blockage they went right in. Sarah was up at the hospital so I recieved many updates. The people here at work had a lot of knowledge of stints and all this fun stuff so they put me at ease. I didn't know how common of a procedure that this was. So of course lots of freaking out.

Either way he had to lay still for 6 hours with a 10 sand bag on his leg.
He is doing good, me and Sarah are running the store. I help out working and she has been closing the store. She is able to take days off to help. I am on my long week so I have very little lead way. But the second I am needed I'm gone so I was keeping in touch with Sarah alot.

The only sucky thing is that we have to go through this again next Thursday so that they can put the other 2 stints in, then back to recovery time again.

The girls at the store have been helpful with working and my dad can't drive so we keep him company.

I was there yesterday over night and last night I was there until 1:00 just watching TV and talking.

The thing that worries me is his main artery in his leg, he favors it because there is a mechnism that is in his leg keeping it clogged.
But he is same old dad getting worked up about little things which is funny. He quoted "but its so hard to be nice" after we said don't get your blood pressure up.

Well that is my update I am just really glad that he went to the doctor when he did because he could of damaged his heart or worse had a Heart Attack.

Here is a diagram for you to understand better.

Hello Im nervous

I am back to work again.

My Dad is at Hines VA hospital right now trying to figure out what is wrong with his health.
His doctor thinks it has to do with his heart and so do we just by the symptoms. I really hope that it is not anything serious. I want it to be as routine as it can possibly get. His doctor said if they find any blockage that they are going to do something today. My sister is with him the appointment is at 8:00 and it is 9:42. It is going to be on my mind until I hear something.

So on another note I had the fun of speaking to Nextel. I owe them money and they want to shut my phone off. Whatever got them to hold on until the 15th. So much fun. Well at least my bith control is in. I went in the other day and I had no refills WTF it has only been 5 months. I am getting sick of my gyny office and just stupidity in general.

I am fine considering I just wanted to blog.

I have pics that I will upload later from my weekend.
Good Stuff.
Well I am going to be working today.
Pray for my sanity and my dad.
Thanks.
