Updates

SO, I found out yesterday I got a little job with Hallmark.  YAY for that!  This go round I'm actually working FOR Hallmark and not just AT one.  Merchandising...fun!  LOL I'm so tired of being unemployed and feeling useless.  It's only going to be about 10 hours a week, but some job is better than no job.  Maybe after I have started and more locations become available I can volunteer for them to fill my schedule.  Who knows?
OH, Biggest Loser started back up last night and I'm so excited about that! LOVE that show :)
Also, I plan on starting P90X again (after a LONG hiatus) on the 2nd.  Trying to get things I need to prepare, but am taking it pretty seriously now I have a small group of people who are my support group.  Hope this is the start of something awesome.  I plan on updating my progress on here too with the possibility of weekly video updates like I originally planned to do.  Who knows?
Anyway...small update...feeling a lot better after the past 2 days of my body freaking out. (HELLO ANXIETY....I dunno why you've come to visit, but I plan on kicking your ass out soon).
Stay tuned!

Girlie Talk...Beware!

7 months is far too long to go without a new blog entry!  What have I been thinking?!  Maybe I just haven't found the right source of inspiration.  I haven't been moved to the point of needing to express myself via written avenues.  BUT!  I told my friend Liz I needed to write so here it is. :)

Is it appropriate to write about how much I hate my cycle(of course it is dummy...it's YOUR blog after all).  Seriously. I hate my time of month.  It's just so damn uncomfortable and icky and just bleh.  And mine is just all sorts of bad.  I get the heavy days, the bloating, and the cramping....ugh!  The cramping is the w-o-r-s-t! My surefire way of assuaging the pain that comes with my cycle is normally a couple of Excedrin Migraine (a divine combo of acetaminophen and caffeine).  WELL, guess who recently (well since right after I wrote my last blog at least)has developed an allergic reaction to caffeine? *points to self* SO, any time I have caffeine now it does a combination of at least two of three things:
1.)Heart rate off the charts
2.)Lips puff up bigger than Angelina Jolie's
3.)Right Cheek goes numb
NOW, normally its #1 paired with 2 or 3...here lately I've had more the cheek than the lips. So, to add insult to injury, I can no longer take my "go to" pain reliever because it causes other problems entirely.  I have gotten to the point where the pain was so unbearable that I just had to suck it up and take the Excedrin, but that is usually chased with a Zyrtec pill to even out the allergic reaction, but damn.  I suppose its a good thing to have happened since I was trying to ween myself off of caffeine anyway, but geez!  I'd like to be able to have it when I need it, but apparently my body says NO!  Wish it would do that when it got hungry instead of craving shit that is no good for me.  LOL
Honestly I must have had this allergy for years, because I was breaking out in hives for awhile.  I figured it was brought on by stress, but ever since I stopped having caffeinated drinks (soda/coffee) I don't have the hives anymore either.  Thank god for that!  I only really miss the caffeine when I'm in pain...so...I'll live I suppose.
So it's short, but it was a mini rant cuz it's day 2 and I'm kinda in pain...BUT I've got a lot done today trying to ignore the pain since I can't take anything for it.
