I'm waiting for my dinner to finish cooking and I thought I'd blog instead of plopping my arse down on the couch. Oh, the size of my arse... I've eaten everything under the sun the last few weeks with no regard for points or that my clothes were already tight, now they are just plain uncomfortable. I've fallen back into bad habits and I hate it. I've been watching the show 'intervention' recently and wow are there so many parallels between drugs and food. Awww, forget it, i have no desire to complain about my eating again.

Let's see... what else is going on... Samson!
Sammy's been to the vet a couple of times to get his random pooping under control. The specialist I saw believes that it is un-related to his paralysis he had a few years ago, but my vet believes it is related. She even posted his story on a Vet website and others believe it is related too. So does that mean there is no hope? He was on this medication that cost $2.54 a pill! and it did nothing for him, it was suppose to slow down his gut and maybe he could feel it coming if things were slower--nope, it just made his accidents bigger! LOL
Now he is on a generic form of Imodium to see if we can really stop things, but that really hasn't helped either. His accidents are farther apart, but he is still having them; the medicine has also caused him not to each much, i think it is upsetting his tummy a bit.
But we'll keep trying, there is no way I'm giving up on that damn dog.

I haven't been up to the studio much. My supply is low on the basic glass and I'm so afraid that if I use it on something that I screw up, I'll be really mad, so I just stare and then go back down stairs. I did order some clear rods the other day so I can experiment with a technique that I've been wanting to try. That won't eat up my reserves, so I'm looking forward to those coming in.

My dad arrives in less than 2 weeks for a quick weekend visit. I'm excited for my dad to come back here, he saw my house briefly when he helped me move in, but so much has changed. What I'm not looking fwd to is his wife coming too, but since I really can't change that, I'm just going to suck it up and deal. It is about my dad and i just have to keep telling myself that.

Okay, I heard the ding of the oven, going to see if dinner is ready. Later...

2010

So it is 16 minutes into the new year and new decade. Wow has time flown by.
I have been stewing all day about the close out of the year, and what my goals should be. This is what I do every year and every year it makes my stomach all in knots.

I think back over this year, and I am going to focus on what I have accomplished...
- one year at a new job. Surviving my boss is an accomplishment in itself.
- began WW again, true, I have not been following it well, but I do make myself go to the weekly meetings and hold myself accountable for the # that shows up on the scale
- I had a very sucessful show in October
- I finally got my stuff out on Etsy!
- I put a X-mas tree up
- Watched KBC kick ass in sports.
- I hung pictures up in my dining room ( I love to see where I have been!)
- I watched more babies being born and celebrating many birthday's with my friends & their children! 2010 will bring a new round of babies!

So for this year's goals, I'm going to keep it simple...
- get Samson healthy
- blog more, as much as I love the facebook quick posts, I need to get more out of my system
- create more art, I freakin' love glass!
- have a living front lawn again

that's it. I can't promise myself any more than that. I'm never good at those promises, so I'm not going to let myself down again.

I wish all my wonderful, caring, loving friends a great new year and I could not be 'Nicole' without you. You have no idea how important you are to me. Hugs

About Me

I'm a 30-something single chica who has two awesome dogs (Brody and Samson). I just moved into my 'dream' home, it was pure hell to get there, but the reward was sweet. I have an adiction to fused glass and built a studio above my garage to help support my habit.
