getting old

I saw some pictures of me and I am starting to look my age. I have never looked my age! I need to get something to revitalize my skin and kind of jump start the young look. Something like skinceuticals would help a lot to just sort of smooth things out and bring back that […]

its snot ok

Green, goopey, gross crusty nose. That describes my boy to a tee tonight. Gross. Gross. Gross. And geez he is cranky! Everything is a huge deal and if its not a problem, he is leaning on me or getting into the middle of what I am doing. It made it […]

Alzheimer’s research

One thing I do every month when I get paid is donate to two charities. One is through an organization that builds homes in Jamaica, I pledged during a radiothon and the small amount I give every month paid for a roof for a home there. I get advertisements from other organizations every week asking […]

CFS

I haven’t really posted about this much but…  a couple years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  I spent the first several months after it adjusting what I ate, how I lived, what I took and when.  Things leveled out some after I had Alex.  I still take my B12 shots twice a […]

Recovery

“Hi, my name is Shannon and I am an alcoholic.”
I am also an addict. Oh how many monologues I have started that way in AA meetings. I am also an addict but it isn’t kosher to say that at an AA meeting. My date of sobriety is February 14, 2001. Some people […]

is it ever going to cool off?

I am so tired of the heat. The heat makes me tired to start with. I am just ready for winter time, cool weather, crunchy leaves and warm sweaters. Not to mention I look better in winter clothes than I do in summer ones.
Alex is growing out of everything as fast as […]

I have muscles THERE?

So I have been getting up early in the morning to work out.  I have to say that there are a lot of muscles in my body that I had no idea existed! Muscles that are now screaming at me very for the lack of nonuse prior to now.  Muscles that are determined to stay […]

Workin out- yeah right

Dear Billy Blanks,
My love affair with you and Tae Bo ended today. I used to use your video “Crunch” all the time. I got so in shape with it that to do both workouts on that tape at once was fun. You don’t make Crunch on DVD though. I bought your bootcamp […]

I think morning sickness was more fun

Yowzers gadget!
The last 24 hours or so were pure hell.  I woke up yesterday feeling fine.  Alex went to daycare, Freedom went to the vet for the day, I took my Mom day. I managed to get the lawn mowed,  the 8′x3′ pool taken down, the house vacuumed, all the dishes down.  And this was […]

Paintball

Last night at dinner, my dad mentioned paintball while we were talking about sports and outdoorsey stuff. A guy at work has a daughter that is in a league and used to work at the local paintball field. She and her brother showed me their sniper paintball gun once while showing off all their […]

Birthday wrap-up

We all went to dinner tonight for my birthday. Much good food was eaten and good company was enjoyed. I got an AbLounge XL from my mom. Funny… the machine looks like this but I don’t.

I swear, it must be broken too. I got it out of the box, got […]
