For Shame (Update)

Shame on me!!

 

I have left my loyal (one or two) readers for 2 weeks.. and I know you guys have been DYING to know what been going on with me..... Well the truth is... not much , but I'll give you guys a quick update.
Whistling While I Work:
 This area is usually pretty stagnant. But I did change offices again (for the 4th time) and  its not too bad. I've been in this office before, the bathrooms are clean, the office mates are OK,  its still in the middle of the shop floor, but that's to be excepted at this point in my career. My projects are still about the same.. but I do have quite a bit more of them.. which keeps me busy and keeps the day from dragging on into eternity. So I'm satisfied...... for now that is....

 And just for you viewing pleasure  here's a pic of me all geared up for work.. it gets a little cold on the floor sometimes ;)

 On the Home Front:

 We finally got the basement done*happy dance*. I love having a clutter free clean space! It is very calming for me to come home and not see yet another thing that needs to be done. So I'm pretty excited that the basics are done.. Ceiling, Walls, and Floor.  I plan to do a whole post with before and after pictures soon.

Over the next few weeks the hubs and I will be slowly migrating items to this new found space to make it more lounge friendly.  We already have a small love seat and I am looking for two recliners to sit on either side, with a nice rug, lamps and art work.   And I'm pretty sure the hubs is looking for a nice new sound system to add to our existing entertainment system that will now be relocated to our new den! Which means I also get to decorate the living room.. So expect alot of PICs!

Healthy Beanie:

 Well she hasn't been so healthy. Ok  well I'm healthy...LOL but I haven't been working out like I should. However, with my new office move, I feel like I walk ALOT more!  But still not as much as I should.

 I went to the doctor because I was having a hard time managing my blood sugar readings and the doc gave me a low dose of  insulin to take at bed time. I wasn't exactly thrilled about the insulin but I guess its better to have working organs and taking insulin.. than not taking insulin and be blind, an amputee. and/or on dialysis. Taking the insulin it really hasn't been that  bad I was already taking a daily injection of Victoza , so the night time insulin injection didn't really bother me since it was in a pen just like the Victoza  plus my readings seem to be much better.

Although.. I have noticed in efforts to cut back on carbs and still have tasty snacks I have increased my fat and sodium intake with nuts and meats.. So I have to watch that too because I'm trying to keep my low dose blood pressure medication actually at a low dose. So I think that I will try celery, cucumbers, and tomatoes as snacks.

 Hair is Happenin' :

 You wouldn't believe it... but not much. I been wearing some protective styles  like bun's and Two-Strand Twist. I had to take the twist down  because they were looking rough but I ended up with a super cute twist out....

Anyway.. that's about all that going on with me Whats going on with you blurbettes??!

Mondays..

 So after every weekend comes Monday. This fact has proven to be infallible thus far and yet I cannot seem to prepare my self for this dreaded day every Sunday night.. My routine is usually about the same..I close my Sunday activities with some type of eating and hanging out with the hubs watching  Law & Order, Family Guy, or  some other Netflix TV Series until we  are near comatose on the couch.. Then we drunkenly drag our selves to bed and  pass out.. knowing that Mondays vengeance is quickly approaching.  And as my alarm clock goes off at 5:15, 5:25, 5:35, and 5:45( for some reason the bed seems to feel better and better with each tap of the snooze button) I finally drag my self out of bed in a zombie like manner and proceed to get "ready" for work..Which is more like making sure I'm not wrinkled and don't smell and rushing to the car. Only to arrive at work trying to shake the fog from the weekend.. and figure out "What did I do last week?"..  I know  that some of problems would be solved by implementing a simple night time routine but still doesnt change the fact that Mondays STINK!

Randomness....

So I'm a week late on my weekly blurb.. and instead of making a habit of fully neglecting my blurbers...I'd figure I'll blurb about all the randomness going on with me...

• I've started the basement project...it has been fully painted and the floors will go down this week so I'm pretty excited that we will have  some extra space... I haven't decided whether it will be a sitting/craft room  or a TV room... we have to see how it feels. Once the floors are down I will post the before and after pictures! :-D

•  I have been working out rather consistently... Go me!

• Partied with the girls a bit this weekend..it was long overdue. We had a sleepover, went to the city, and went ice skating for the first time! It was soooo much fun and I didn't fall once! I have to go again but maybe on a warmer day because I thought my feet were going to fall off!!

Well tomorrows a holiday and I have the day off...woooohoooo
Soo maybe something interesting will happen tomorrow... Later blurbers!

Don't you hate....

 

Don't you hate when you forget things or when things just POP up. I had a totally "blonde" moment  today. After about a solid hour and a half talking to my carpenter on Wednesday about prices and materials to start  my big basement project (There will be a link to pictures here soon ;) ), I completely forgot that he was supposed to start the project today!  I mean seriously it is 1:30pm  and I JUST remembered! And to boot (funny I should chose that word)  my mind was pre-occupied with SHOPPING for boots and Christmas presents. But mostly boots *_*

 Anyhow hopefully he can still start today or at least Monday and addition to my boot shopping I will swing buy the hardware store and pick up some materials. Maybe I'll find  some cool presents there.. hey you never know! But I'll keep you posted. Later blurbettes!
