Something to make a Mom completely laugh..no matter how bad your day has been!! Click here

GRRRRR

Dear Dr. Butthead:

I’m the human being who has to try to type your crappy dictation M-F. I don’t give a damn that you surf the web while you are dictating, but could you get your fricken brain in the program and DICTATE the damn report! I am tired of listening to “um….um…um”…followed by the click, click, click of your damn mouse in my headphones!! I have over 70 reports to do today and I get paid by the lines that I type…NOT by the hours it takes me to do them.

Thank you…a PMS cranky medical transcriptionist

Mother's Day

It was 10 years ago today, May 9th, that I became a Mother, so today we celebrate a birthday AND Mother's Day. May the good lord help me now that she is in double digits.

Whether you have given birth to a child, are a step-mom of a child, adopted a child, foster a child, or even have a pet (or spouse) who you view as a child, I wish you all a Happy Mother's Day!

New toy

Since the only way to communicate with my family is now via text...I had to go out and buy a new cell phone...isn't she cute! (Mine is more of a pale pink and not that fuscia) It is a new Alcatel 808A. It is a bit strange having a cell phone that is square....but since I am square..it works! LOL

Friday Funny...

Borrowed from a friend's blog....funny nonetheless.

Did you know …

It takes 7 seconds for food to pass from mouth to stomach.

A human hair can hold 3 kg.

The length of the penis is three times the length of the thumb.

The femur is as hard as concrete.

A woman’s heart beats faster than the man’s.

Women blink twice as much as men.

We use 300 muscles just to hold the balance when we stand .

The women have read this entire text.

The men are still looking at their thumbs…

woo-hoo

Down 5.5 pounds already!!

I have just by lowering carbs and choosing the lower glycemic foods. I have gone to gym only twice in the last week but did the Wii fit for about 30 minutes on 3 other days. It certainly helps that hubby is also in the same boat...sure makes it much easier when everyone in the house is following the low glycemic / low carb plan.

Woo! HOO...doing the happy dance..

Hmmm..I wonder if the happy dance will burn a few calories also?

Gym

Went to the gym for the second time this week....miracle unto itself.

Know what really sucks...you do 1.75 miles on the bike, 0.54 miles on the elliptical...feeling really good..stop to get gas on the way home and all you smell is McD French fries, KFC fried chicken, Taco bell....OMG...being overweight SUCKS.

Starting now

So it happened..I went and established with a new family doctor as the old one's office was just too far and not easy to get to anymore. First thing they make you do is stand on the scale. I did that and am COMPLETELY fed up with my weight. It happened..now it is time to lose the weight. No more excuses. Went to the gym and am starting out slow. I rode the bike for 15 minutes and did 1.66 miles and did the elliptical for 5 minutes. Not a huge work out but better than what I normally do which is NOTHING. I figured I needed to start somewhere and there it is. I will not allow myself to weigh 160 pounds ever again. I have two new hips so I no longer have an excuse for not doing anything.

The weight loss starts now.

Sometimes one finds that friendships have been imprinted on our souls. When we think we have forgotten, something triggers the memory. Amazing how some have taken a part of me and yet I have felt so enriched by having them in my life.

We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.

You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in  Iraq.

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.  Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

Dad's birthday

Found my Dad's 60th Birthday present. Went and picked him out today. Isn't he just the cutest bulldog baby? He should be ready to go home when Dad comes up at the end of April. I know Dad is going to like him.

Manatees

We went and spent the night at Blue Spring State Park. (see link over on the right) I had booked a cabin before we left on our trip. The cabins are absolutely beautiful! We were all amazed. So wish that we could have stayed longer. Princess was thrilled that she got to see so many manatees in the spring.

Love is all we need

My sister T and her soulmate B were joined in a beautiful ceremony yesterday. There were many tears of happiness for both of these wonderful ladies. The love that was palpable during the ceremony was beautiful. I don't care what your religious beliefs are...if we are lucky enough to find someone who loves us unconditionally, you should be allowed to spend the rest of your life with them.

job

Well this economy completely sucks. I had my meeting today and my job is saved BUT I had to take a pay cut. I am now back to making my 2001 wage and doing more work to keep it. At least I am still employed. (((sigh)))) Is it time to think about going back to school?

Leavin on a jet plane

Well we are off to FL for the next 8 days. My sista T is getting hitched. I have to try to save my job. We are planning on going to see the manatees for Princess. I hate traveling away from my honey. Here is hoping the trip goes well.

New diet

I think stress is God's way of making me lose weight. When I am under stress I have no desire to eat. Today has been very stress filled and am surviving on the 2 pieces of wheat toast I had for breakfast. Can you tell when my stress started? Just the thought of food makes me nauseated.

Lord give me strength to get through the next 6 days. I hope and pray I can keep my job.

long time

Sorry I have been gone so long...a friend got me started on Facecrack. I will be coming back...need an outlet for my wandering mind still. Not that anyone reads my blog but me..but I need it nonetheless.

Feel like I should be at confession..."Forgive me..it has been over 4 months since my last blog".

Lots has happened..got 2 new hips, the holidays have passed, been eating too much and still need to lose weight, work has been going well. Will be in Florida for my Sister & B's committment ceremony in 12 days..yippee. All the world needs is love. Sure hope it is a heck of a lot warmer. I need some sun on my face.
