Work Warning

I worry about some of the guys that I knew growing up because they are in construction and there's always commercials about Mesothelioma. I'm not sure exactly what they do but I'm sure they're exposed to asbestos at some point and often. It seems like more and more people must be finding out that they have this cancer because the commercials are growing in frequency. I really hope that nothing happens to them, it would really be a shame if they found out they hav it when they're like 50.

Girly "Men"

DS had his friend spend the night and I had to laugh at them. When we had dinner the only napkins we had were wedding napkins from a recent event and being the teenage boys they were they almost wouldn't use them. I really wanted to get rid of them so I made them use them instead of paper towels but the whole thing (including the looks on their faces) was pretty funny. Needless to say neither one of them has had a girlfriend yet and it doesn't look like it will happen in the near future. LOL

Details

I'm still trying to get my business underway but I'm not sure I can really make anything out of it for a while, or at least until I finish this room and heal for a while. Every now and then I find myself thinking of tiny details that may help me stand out. I was thinking that when I take pictures or my products I could dress up a cardboard display and end up with something more professional than some of the backdrops I've seen. Of course that means I also need a new camera since mine died on me last year. *sigh* So much to do!

The Month Long Project

I thought it would only be a couple of weeks maximum once I started painting and stuff and now I'm thinking it's going to take WAY longer. I'm doing the whole thing alone so DD doesn't have a fit that she can't help and the pain I'm in is too much to handle. I've never woken up so many times during the night out of pain in my life. I wish I had insurance so I could at least get something to help with it.

So far it's looking really good though and I'm excited to get started on the rest of the room. The only problem is that there's SO much I need to clean first that I think that may take another week in itself! I wish I could have hired someone to do this for me so I could have it done already and just enjoy my new space.

Diet Advice

Being a stay at home mom means that I know a lot of stay at home moms and we all have one thing in common, fat. LOL! We're always asking each other what the other is doing and are even starting a mom group when the kids get in school so we can all work out and keep each other motivated. Latly the talk was who knew what were the most effective diet pills but since none of us move we really can't say. I'm sure there are some that are better than others but I couldn't say anything at all since I end up falling off the regimen.

Insomniac

I haven't been getting much sleep at all lately and it really stinks. I've got bags under my eyes that stay with me for a good part of the day. DD is on the world's worst schedule and by the time she passes out I really need some me time. Then by the time I go to sleep I'm so tired that I just pass out and when I wake up I can barely see straight. I'll be seeking out the best eye cream before I know it trying to get the puffing down.

Product Reviews

I just found a great site that does a "real person" breakdown of diet pills and supplements called quickweightloss.org. By real person I mean that it's not some site where there's tons of stuff trying to sell you everything. They look at each product and break it down for you listing the pros and cons of each one. That's really something someone like me needs. I can't stand all the ads and end up leaving sites that have tons so this one's great for me to read.
