Cookie Monster

I just baked NINE dozen oatmeal rasin cookies… no wonder I’m fat… ~L~ Actually, they’re for my grandpa and uncle, mom is going to go visit them this weekend (she’s leaving on Thursday) so I baked tonight.  A couple of years ago, I decided to bake them some cookies for the fun of it, because I like to bake, and I don’t get to see them very often, so I decided it would be a nice thing to do.  Well, now it’s turned into a nice thing that they expect every time! ~L~ I’m not complaining, really, well, I guess I kinda am… but anyway! I’ll probably keep some for me, and I might take some to work for Bill and Cate. (Because they’re my favorites, and they didn’t get any of the valentine cookies I made!)

Well, you guys know I went to bed at 11 last night, (which I’m going to try to do again tonight if I can hurry up and write this!) but then I tossed and turned for a while, because you tend to do that when you’re used to staying up until 1 or 2, even if you are dreadfully tired at the time… Then this morning I kept hitting the snooze button!  My intention was to get up about 2 1/2 hours before I had to go to work, but I ended up getting up only an hour before. I hate that, it takes me like 15 minutes just to wake up and be functioning!  Maybe tonight I’ll sleep better, and I’ll set my alarm for about an hour and a half before I have to go to work.

Work today was fine, no old men made me want to cry… ~L~ There was something note worthy that I was going to write about, but I completely spaced… oh wait! I just remembered!  This morning, this lady brought in a cross-stitch to be framed, and the thing was just covered in cat hair!  It actually made my allergies act up!  And you know, all the people I work with have cats, but I never get any allergic reaction from being around them!  After I finished it, I had to scrub my hands, then I went out to my truck to get some sudefed! I was getting a headache even, but it went away quickly enough.

After work, mom and I went for a walk.  All most right away I got a little bit of a side stitch, what even causes those anyway?  I hadn’t even really done anything yet, so that was strange.  I just focused more on holding my abs in, since doing that seems to help with side stitches too.  I have a weird obsession with holding in my abs when I walk.  I started doing that when I was 17 and I’d go for walks around town with my mom.  See, back then I wore all these really bagy clothes, big t-shirts, flannels, sweatters… but it was too warm to wear all that when we walked, so the shirts I walked in were tighter and made me really self-concious of my stomach! (Which you know, was so very well hidden and completely un-noticable under the baggy clothes… I’m sure no one really thought I was fat, it was just the clothes!! ~L~)  Anyway, at the time, it seemed like holding in my stomach made a difference, though now that I think about it, it was probably just that I was losing weight from walking, not just holding in my stomach. 

Let’s see, other than that, I want some new underware.  Yup.  Not that I don’t have plenty of underware, but the cute stuff that I like to wear the best is getting worn out.  Oh, I know, I’ll make that a goal reward!  Lose weight, get new underware!  Wooo! ~L~  I guess that’s actually practical, but I just find it really funny for some reason.
