Watermelons and lassie

Just ate and I feel like my blood sugar is very low.  Have no idea why.  Guess it is something I ate.

Been having really weird dreams that I can't seem to remember.  Oh I can remember for about the first 10 minutes of being awake, but then it all goes away.  Sounds like my reality also.  Can't remember anything.


Been sleeping for 5 hours, then getting up for 3, and then sleeping again for 3 more.  My sleeping pattern is screwed up bad.  Would like to sleep 8 hours and then get up....but only if I have to....get up.



As some people know, I hate the holidays.  Which ones?  Take your pick.  Haven't been a fan in many years.  Why?  Who knows.

The wife and niece want me to dress up for Halloween and decorate our building.  They decorated it last year and went WAY overboard...but I actually liked it.  Told them that I didn't want any part of it this year.  Might dress up, but only because of my business.

Will be saying a big NO WAY when they want me to hang Christmas lights or put up the tree.  Bah Humbug. 

The rain is draining my energy.  I know that the summer heat sucked, but this "fall" weather is just dreary.  And it makes me feel so.....


* not going to explain it for you!


Went swimming for about 5 minutes yesterday.  The water temp was supposed to be 85, but felt more like 45.  Will need to get my friends a new thermometer for their pool.  Maybe I can find one that gives the surface temp and a depth temp.

Two of our puppies go to their new home this weekend.  I am happy because my friends are taking them, but will be sad that they are gone. 

Tired now.  Must rest.

Weather is changing

Random:

Watching horrible 80's movie on VH1 about a girl who dresses as a guy.

Very Random:

Having seen said movie 5 or more times in the last 20 years.


Dropped a sewing machine on the top of my foot last night.  Still hurts and is still swollen.  Doctor said that if it is broken, then only one small bone might be broken and nothing can be done.  I don't think it is broken because I can walk on it.

Slept a lot today.  Was very tired from not only working last night, but dropping that sewing machine on my foot.  Still feel really tired.  Should probably go back to bed for a while and relax.

Waiting for the cooler weather to come...then maybe my knee will stop hurting. 

Why is pain an indication of changes in weather?  Why?  I can watch the news and find out, I don't really need my knee or wrist causing me pain just because the temp is dropping.  Sucks.

Just ate and I'm still hungry.  Maybe I have a tape worm.  You never know!

Going to take some medicine and put my foot up.  Also, it is closer to the air conditioning and I'm burnin up.

My heart

Random.

Slept 12 hours and I am so tired that I can barely type for the last 4 hours.

Very Random.

If your butt was made of wood, could you still get splinters in it?



I am feeling sick and sleepy.  Not a good sign.  Have work to do today and my knee hurts because that cold front is coming in.  Sucks!

I have this weird thing with my heart.  It is referred to as "early heart beats" and basically feels like my heart randomly jumps......

{It is caused by an electrical pulse in another part of my heart being stronger than the main pulse that causes your normal heart beat.  Did you know that different parts of your heart has different electrical pulses and that they can beat at different times?  You do now!  And don't ever say that I didn't teach you something!}

Back to my story....  Anyway, when I drink something with caffeine it makes the early beats go away because it speeds up my pulse.  The downside is that the caffeine makes my stomach upset.  If I don't drink caffeine for some reason, then I get several of these beats and it causes me to be a little light headed.  If I stop the caffeine completely, those random beats are more prevalent but my stomach is much better.  If I start drinking caffeine again, I get less of those beats but I am back to the upset stomach.  Sucks, except that I love Dr. Pepper and that is my excuse to drink it!  Nothing medical science can do about it.  Not something I will die from, but will just die with.

Why do people change their attitude when you cry in front of them?  Does crying really break down a person's resolve?  I've never understood it.  I've been victim of it before and a couple of times I didn't change how I felt or acted.  I guess it depends on the situation and if the person is crying because there is a real reason to cry.  

Is it wrong for me to want children just so I can say:  "I'll give you something to cry about" or "You are just like your Mother" or "I'm telling Santa Claus how much of a brat you are being" or "If you don't like it, get a job and get your own place...I don't care that you are only 5!" or "Hide Daddy's drugs, the cops are comin"

BTW....I'm just kidding. 

Found a mystery that boggles all space and time:  If all we are is dust in the wind and our bodies are mostly made up of water, why aren't we mud on the inside? 

If you like my posts, please tell me.  I am desperate for attention and need validation!  Just kidding.

Puppies, sushi, and swimming.

Took the puppies to their new family's home yesterday to play.  They had a lot of fun.  2 more weeks and they will be living with them.  I will be sad, but also happy.....sad because we love them so very much and happy because they are a handful and it takes a lot of energy to keep up with 4 puppies.  Still have one to adopt.  We wanted to keep him, but that would give us 6 dogs and that is a little much.  If we had a farm/ranch, then I would have kept all of them!

Drove to my parents last night to show them the puppies.  They played with my parents dog and had so much fun.  They are now used to bigger dogs and don't seem to mind too much.  We had steak last night at their house and it was really good....but when we left I was hungry again.

We stopped by an HEB on the way home and I bought sushi.  This store actually makes it there, but the guy had already left.  Not the greatest thing I've ever eaten, but it was sushi and I didn't bitch about it.  That store was really cool compared to our hillbilly HEB.  Wish when they completely screwed ours up during the remodel, that they would have made it like the ones in Austin.  That's what I get for living in hillbillyville!

Tired again today.  Only got around 5 hours of sleep.  That will fix itself once I start working again.  I miss working a full time job.  Miss going to work and talking with my friends.  Don't miss the long drives to Austin!

The radio stations around here suck.  Not much of a choice for Rock and the main rock station freakin plays way too much old stuff.  I mostly listen to a couple of stations out of San Antonio that actually play rock music and not oldies.  Wish they would get with the program around here.  Not likely.


I spend a lot of time on Craigslist.  I even downloaded an app for my iPod Touch to check Craigslist.  Guess it might be an addiction, but I have found tons of really good stuff there...plus I have sold/given away tons of stuff on there.  The problem I have now is that some people won't email you back, but they repost their ad the next day.  Why?  Why bother posting something that you obviously don't want to sell?

Sitting here thinking about what I can eat for breakfast.  We are out of milk, so no cereal...unless I want it dry.  Guess I can microwave some eggs and eat a sandwich, but we are out of white bread.  I feel like we have kool aid and no sugar.  What the hell?  Maybe I should go to the store today.

Going swimming in about 4 hours.  Not a big fan of it, but the wife loves it.  I just go to spend time with her.  I'm not a good swimmer and don't really enjoy it.  I also go because we spend time with our friends and their kids, since it is their pool.  This will probably be one of the last times to swim this year, since it will be getting colder.  Just don't want the pool to be super cold like it has been.

My mind is now empty.  Time to refill will useless knowledge and thoughts. 


Until next time...... Look to your left, look to you right.  Do you see it?  Probably not.  But don't you feel silly for looking when I told you to?

Feeling sick today

Feeling sick.  Not sure what the deal is.  I felt fine most of the week, but then today shows up and I feel bad.  Going to take a shower and go back to bed.  I really don't have time to try and fight some illness right now.  Now is not the time you stupid germs!  Go away!  Me casa is NOT es su casa.  My spanish sucks!

I'm kinda hungry right now.  Only had fruit loops for dinner and nothing else today.  We have some enzyme spray (for when the puppies pee on the floor) that smells just like it.  I had to go get some and we found out that if you turn in 4 tokens from certain cereal boxes, you get this really cool cereal cup....it holds the cereal in the top part and has a cold chamber for the milk.  Pretty bad ass if you ask me.  You didn't ask me?  Fine.

I don't see how people have time to post on multiple forums, blog, tweet, and update their facebook/myspace.  Hell, I sometimes forget that I even have a Facebook page.  I normally only have one forum that I post on and 2 blogs that I post on from time to time.  Too busy doing other stuff to deal with updates.  That will change once my business is up and running....funny how being busier will make me post more.  Gotta get my head checked!

The weather has been very cool today.  It rained some, but I missed it due to being in bed most of the day.  The dogs came in earlier and they were very cold.  Poor things.  They are tuff and can handle it.

Very tired and I feel like crap.  I leave you with this thought:  If the Earth is really round, then why are maps flat?

that is my other blog that I never update!

Introduction to my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my intro to my personal blog. I have another blog about my hot dog business, but it seems that I was posting way too much personal info on there...not that it really mattered, but that blog is supposed to be about the business and not about me. I need something to get things off my chest and writing a blog seems to help.  So here is the new personal blog that I have started.....hope you enjoy!


First post:

I have completely screwed up my sleeping pattern again.  Having to work on my business at night since it has been a little hot these past few weeks.  Don't want to run the AC and have to give the city our hard earned money.  I am now staying up all night and sleeping all day.  Will have to fix this in the next few days or I will be screwed once my business is opened.  The room we are working in is solid concrete and it doesn't breathe very well....needless to say that I sweat a lot!

Found out that my Dad is retiring at the end of the year...or at least he wants to.  They are going to move back to the DFW area, after it took us a couple of years to talk them into moving down here.  I like having them closer, but we have been so busy since April that we haven't had time to go see them.  I think they will be happy living in Arlington again, but I couldn't ever imagine myself living there again.  Maybe if something happened with expanding my business and I needed to be there, then I might be convinced to live there....but the wife would have to want to live there also...and I don't think that is going to happen!  We both have family in that area, but I get panic attacks just thinking about being there.

I just had to have an iPod Touch for Christmas and the wife was upset because I hardly use it.  I had insisted on getting one and we spent 1 whole day trying to find one.  She has every right to be upset considering what we went thru to get it.  Well, I started using it about 4 months ago and there is hardly a day go by that I don't use it.  Funny thing is that I very rarely listen to music on it, unless it is Pandora or Live365.  I mostly use it to surf, check email, and play games.  I have 3 video game systems and 2 laptops, but the iPod is what I use to play games.  Go figure.


I live in a small town in Texas. A very small town. I grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and this town is like the size of my old neighborhood. Still unsure about how I feel about this town. It has its good points and bad points.  I will discuss some of these issues from time to time.  Not having too many issues right now, but the year isn't over yet.

I have very long hair now, but it is starting to get tangled all the time.  I kinda want to cut it, but really like having long hair.  I've been growing it for nearly 5 years and figure that I do it now before I go bald and don't have any hair.  Will try to get the wife to trim it today.

Been finding tons of friends on Facebook.  Found people I haven't spoken to in 10 years.  Not sure why I fell out of touch with those people, but it happens.  I've always been better having a small core group of friends that I spend time with.  Right now that group is all up in the DFW area and I am stuck here in the Austin area.  I have some friends from my old jobs in Austin, but never really seemed to make a really great connection with anyone.  If I tried to spend time with all my friends in DFW area, then I would need to be there about a month.  Hopefully we will be going up there soon and will try to see everyone that I can.

I feel like my brother in law is becoming someone that I could consider a "best" friend.  We get along great and always have a good time together.  We went to Dallas a couple weeks ago to pick up some bar equipment and was able to talk to each other about our lives and issues we face.  I really miss having my best friends around and feel like Josh is beginning to fall into that spot.  My other 2 best friends live far away from me, but we still stay in contact....just wished they also lived here and that we could spend time together.

Want to go see Kiss when they come to Austin.  Will try to get some tickets.  Some people say they suck in concert, but I disagree.  I really like them and always have...even though my mom wouldn't let me listen to them when I was a kid...thought they were devil worshipers.  Funny how people thought that back in the 70's but failed to realize that all their songs were about women and having parties.  She did let us listen to the Village People.  Guess that no one realized that some of the group was gay.  That probably wouldn't have gone over very well in the Bible belt.  I listen to Kiss anyway...the neighbor's kid had the albums.

Wonder what ever happened to that kid?  Had lots of fun times with him!  We once went swimming in a metal cattle tank during a lightning storm.  Damn we were stupid.  We put boards over the top of it so that lightning wouldn't strike it.  Damn we were stupid.  Guess that happens when a 7 year old me and a 9 year old him puts our minds together.
