I really am just destined to have a bad day today.

On top of losing my domain, I had my mom pick me up some medicine at the pharmacy so it would save me a trip out on the streets.  She didn’t think to have it charged to my insurance so she went ahead and paid cash.  It’s not her fault, how was she supposed to know.  A phone call to the pharmacy made it sound like my insurance wasn’t going to cover these so-called meds.  BUT WHY?!  So not only have I wasted my mom’s time, I have to make a trip myself down to the pharmacy and hash it out with the staff.  Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.  Wouldn’t life be so much more simpler if all I had to worry myself with today was where to find a horse tack?  Seriously.

And on top of this, I am starving.  My tummy’s always hungry but more often than not, I want something other than what’s in our frig/cupboards/pantry.  I know, I know, I know.. beggars can’t be choosers but let me remind you, I’m pregnant, pissy and just not in the mood to compromise (read: I can be a bitch if I want to so there!).   I am just plain grumpy right now.  Man, I need to relax.. have an orgasm or go postal on a voodoo doll.

On a happy note, I saw my baby’s heartbeat again and he/she is getting bigger.  Plus, I’m no longer on bedrest which I hope will lessen some of the crankiness that has built up over the last couple of days.  I’ll save that for another post.

Just when I’ve decided I was going to blog a lot more religiously this time.  Grr.

I am a little upset right now.  I want to believe my blogging mojo is back so I went ahead and checked on my other blog but guess what?  It’s gone!  And the worse part?  I can’t renew to get my domain back.  Yes, I have not been a happy camper since this morning.  In fact, my blood pressure was a bit elevated this morning when I saw the doctor and this is probably why (petty, I know.. or maybe it’s the porky dinner from the night before?).  Anyhoo, what’s a girl to do?  I need to look for a good dedicated hosting company to avoid this from ever happening again.  It’s not like my rank was so high on that one blog – it’s the fact that I don’t want to lose my entries because it gives me something to go back to when that time comes and I have nothing else to do in life but read old entries.  Man, I am so annoyed, you just don’t know!  I mean, in order to save all my old entries, must I seriously copy and paste every entry onto a new domain if I want to save them?  We are talking more than three years worth of entries!

I shouldn’t stress over something so trivial.  My baby doesn’t need this stress either. GRRR!

Our internet connection is so (as Liv would put it) “wonky.”  Sometimes I can get connection in the kitchen, sometimes I can’t.  Other times, the connection will draaaaag when I’m in our bedroom and be lightning fast the next.  What the heck man?!  So yeah, I have to complain and whine to E because he’s the computer guy in our family and all I do is log on and expect everything to run smoothly so as not to disrupt my cruising leisure (demanding, I know – you know how we do, us internet addicts!).  He says we need a new Linksys router.  Whatever that means.  He likes to explain things to me like I want to know.  Uh.. please, just fix it, no need to explain.  Really, I insist.  Fix it in silence, please.  *cackle*

Me, big time.  I am itching to go on vacation again.  Anywhere — Mexico, a cruise, the beach, even an Outer Banks vacation rentals trip would work for me.  I just want to get out.  And it would be so ideal to go somewhere during Spring Break but E just started his job and it wouldn’t be cool if he requested time off so early.  Maybe Lake Tahoe?  I wonder if there’d still be snow for Erynne though.  She’s never seen or experienced it and I am so envious of the sledding pictures my cousin showed me of their Valentine’s weekend in Lake Tahoe.

I am going nuts!

of hell.  Well, maybe not so much today.. but still.

Mr. Flu came to visit our home this past week.  My cousin A flew in from Vegas with something weird in her system and before you knew it, her dad and I had contracted something terrible.  Definitely the flu, I have to say.  The first few days were so hard, I can’t emphasize that enough.  My body ached more than a *beep* and there were instances were I would silently cringe in pain because I just couldn’t find a comfortable position to alleviate the pains my body was going through.  I have to say this is the worst kind of sickness I’ve experienced in a long time.  I’d hate even my worst enemies to go through what I had to.  I’m that generous, see.

I’ve been camping out in the little girl’s room, 5 days straight and I can tell the little girl misses me a lot.  Sometimes she’ll stand at the door and just stare at me sleep or rest and she’ll have this long face like she just wants to run over and cuddle with me like we always used to do.  Sad, isn’t it?  She even tried pretending she was sick one day so she could take her meds and lay by me so we could be sick together.  Awww.

I’ve missed two days of class already because of this wonderful visit by Mr. Flu.  Not fun.  I know an exam is in the works (probably the day I go back on Monday!) and a paper was due, I believe, this past Friday.  But heck, what do you do when you can’t even get up?  I mean, literally.  Yesterday, I was able to move around the house and do some mild chores but it wasn’t long before the sweating started again and I started to feel weak and tired.  I can’t wait to go back to normalcy, God knows — have mercy on my lungs!

I feel like I deserve a vacation after this *laugh*.  That or finally gift myself with one of those netbooks I was talking about in the summer if I were to do well in my summer class (of which I did accomplish, woohoo!).  I also think I deserve a nice, hot steaming bowl of ramen soup too.  Perfect for this weather right now — lightning and thunder!

Get well me.

When our furnace gave out on us a few months ago, I freaked out when black smoke started coming out of the kitchen vent.  Smoke alarm went off and all and the fire department?  At the front door within minutes.  Timing was super bad because it was in the middle of the night, Erynne was fast asleep so she had to be wrapped up in blankets so I could drop her off at my mom’s house two doors away.  Long story short, our house smelled terrible, found a furnace guy in the yellow pages, had him come out and inspect the damage and my worst fear came true – he started talking about possible asbestos exposure!  Thoughts of mesothelioma started running through my mind and you better believe we immediately put him to work to replace the century-old furnace underneath our house. 

Ha, I’m one to talk.

The husband is griping that he’s “just so fat.”  Okay, and that makes me what?  What annoys me to the nth power is that he seems to be coming from some kind of wacked up culture where losing weight slowly is a joke.  Why can’t one be happy with half of a pound weight loss every week?  That’s 2 pounds in a month!  Multiply that by 12 and that’s 24 pounds a year.  Times that by 2 years and that’s 48 pounds.  This is so elementary!  But whatever.  Go stuff yourself with fat burners for all I care.  Better yet, knock yourself out with this liporexall review that has your name written all over it!  (Did I tell you he loves fat burners but gradually, I’ve had him lay off of that stuff because I don’t think they’re healthy?).  MEN!

There is nothing more annoying to me (lie, I’m sure I can list a few others) than putting the kid down for a nap (do your toddlers still take naps?) when the handy dandy gardener, Arturo, (that’s not his real name but I enjoy rolling my r’s too much to correct myself) comes along and decides to clean up the front and backyard.  At almost 2 in the afternoon!  He’s got all day to do this, why now?  Why?  

Good thing I had a yummy lunch today.  I still know how to count my blessings, see.  Sigh.

These sales won’t stop following me!  I’m going to have to stop in and take a peek at a store tomorrow.  I have this thing with having to see toddler clothing in person.  I also have to feel, touch and carry it around with me for a few seconds too.  Am I the only weird one who does this?  Also, do you guys buy a size up from the size your kid currently wears?  I was shopping the other day and was buying a size bigger for Erynne when the salesgirl told me, “Well it’s not like she’s going to wear it next season or something!”  Gee, so you think you’re Paris Hilton now, eh?  I was a bit offended — and annoyed.  So I’m cheap and I want my kid to wear a top or jeans or shorts or socks or underwear or heck, a damn hair clip for that matter for longer than just a stupid season.  Gaaaah.  Some people.  And did I tell you she was Pinay?  With a nice accent at that?  Haaay, the nerve to be all high and mighty on me!  Sorry that I don’t work as a salesgirl so that I can afford to buy my kid clothes according to the seasons.  Heh!

Okay, there’s a reason why this photo is small.  We’re too fat, LOL!  Can anyone say Lipovox reviews?

So much for reaching my 45-pound mark a month ago — yep, I’ve gained some of it back (I’m barely at my 42-pound mark!).  I know I could have at least lost another 5 pounds and I could certainly come up with excuses as to why it didn’t happen but eh.  What’s important is that 42 pounds is STILL 42 pounds no matter how obese I still am.  I am better off today than I was 42 pounds ago.

Seeing what I’ve accomplished this year with my weight, you have to know 2009 can only be better for me.  I refuse to think I’m going to go backwards.  This.cannot.happen.  Because I’m worth it, damnit!  Gap jeans, I’m coming for you!
