YAY!

Mom and Jonathan convinced me to buy the camera that I have been wanting for months now. My dad sent $100 for my Birthday, and Jonathan kicked in another $1oo. I was tempted to use it for bills, but they pretty much strong armed me into getting the camera instead. Mom got us Lego Indiana Jones and a Vaultz case for all of our Wii games (in the original cases, they take up too much needed space). Little Human, with Daddy's help, bought me Wii Fit plus, which I had been asking for.

We took mom to her Doctor's appt. today. I hadn't met Dr. Thompson before. She wasn't what I expected, but in a good way. She really likes my mom, and wants to make sure that she is okay. She gave her a couple of new prescriptions and told her to try Spirulina for her energy issues. I think I might try it too. I am so tired of being exhausted all the time.

Today is the day, I do my resolutions. I don't think of them as such though, and I don't usually end up sticking to them.

1) I have got to quit smoking. I thought I could after this sickness I am still getting over, but it hasn't happened. I HAVE TO DO THIS NOW!!!

2) I have got to get back into a shape that does not resemble a pumpkin. I don't feel like myself.

3) I have the certification for the Interior Decorating, but I would also like to try getting into Pharmacy Tech. I have always loved the idea of doing health care, but bodily fluids and I don't get along. This gives me that option without having to deal with fluids too much. I can do that while trying to get the other off the ground. It will also give me the income to start a business, and something to fall back on should the decoration not work out.

4) I want to work on this house. I want to paint and organize and make it a comfy, happy home. I want to make the patio in the back and the little deck off the side. I want to start the Goth Garden, with all black and red flowers.

5)I want to start a decent veggie garden. It will be work, especially with the wildlife, but I really want to do this. I also need to get my DIY coldframe built so I can start veggies and herbs.

6) I need to take pictures more. I haven't been able to as much as I would like because the old camera had focusing issues. The new one has none of those problems and takes fantastic pics. I have always been interested in photography, but before digital was available, I couldn't really afford it. Digital allows me the freedom to play with stuff, and I can just delete if I don't like it.

7) I need to take better care of my skin. I am not getting any younger, and while it doesn't show yet, it will.

8) I need to just settle down and have more fun with Little Human. He is such a blast and I feel too often as if I am neglecting him some. He can be needy and he is spoiled (oops), but I love him tons.

9) I need to get out of the house more. I almost never go out for fun, and it is beginning to wear on me!

Dr. Thompson... super manly? i think this is the one that did my dad's DBS. crazy.

wanna know what i did to quit smoking (it really works)? tell Jonathan (in my case Robin) that you are setting aside 3 weeks to quit and during that time you need him to be uber attentive and accomidating. THEN find your #1 comfort food (in my case Mt Dew). Stock pile it. Warn everyone you are about to be a bitch. THEN on the day you choose to quit, don't get out of bed (except for the restroom). seriously. in fact, do this for a few days when jonathan can watch the baby. be a bitch. expect him to get you everything and to be totally nice and understanding through it all. then, stay away from cigarettes. i mean it, don't have them in the house. tell jonathan not to give you the car keys. at all. for a week. most of all, be a bitch and gain about 10 pounds.

it isn't hard if you have a strong support base and know what to expect. it takes about 3 weeks to be fully quit and to stop being a horrible person. then, you will be free. forever.

once you do this, i will come to ABQ and take you out. you should do it while you are still sick so you can be a double bitch.

No, Dr. Thompson is feminine. She's my mom's psychiatrist.

That might work, except Jonathan and my mom smoke, so they will be in the house and I can't escape them that easily. We'll see how it goes.
