Birthday Update via iPod Touch
May. 24th, 2009 02:40 amSo today was a very busy day. First of all yesterday was my mom's 54th birthday. Thursday she got a party thrown by her work friends. Then Friday night (her actual bday) Mike cooked her a fabulous meal. Then today Jeff threw her another bday party. We got there at four and didn't get home until 10:30pm. It was a long night but a good one. There was good food on the grill and Jeff even remembered to cut me up a cucumber because salad and Crohn's Disease don't mix. That made me happy. We had a really awesome cake too and slow churned vanilla ice cream. My mom really loved her Mama Mia soundtrack with bonus DVD. Which I still need to pay Jeff for because he got it for me while he was out today and I totally forgot to give him 20$ before I left. I kinda feel bad about that. Oh well. I'll just give it to him the next time I see him. *shrug*
So anyway Mom and Mike are going to a flea Market in the morning. The crazies are leaving at 7 in the morning 0.0
When they get back, Mom and I are going gerbil supply shopping! Finally! I've been waiting so long. I'm so excited! But I'm also waiting for the other shoe to drop and we won't be able to go. I have a list of supplies in the order I want to get them. The gerbils are at the very bottom. I want to set up their little home before I buy them. They say it's a good thing to do. Plus it'll be easier to shell out the money in a few trips especially when I'm getting paid on the 30th. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of money to get everything including the Gerbs in one trip. But this way I'll still have some money left over since I don't think my mom is going to let me use my stimulus check towards this purchase. I think she wants me to save half and use the other half on some clothes that actually fit.
But anyway! I am so on my way to getting those gerbils! I'm so excited! Hmm maybe that's why I can't sleep =D it probably is. It's gotta be.
So maybe I'll shower or maybe I'll just lay down and close my eyes and see where that gets me.
Goodnight my lovilies!

Rant via iPod Touch
May. 5th, 2009 07:32 pmI would just like to say that it pisses me off when people want to breed their animals when so many people can't afford to keep their animals because of this economy. It especially pisses me off when they want to do it just to get it out of his system before we get him fixed. WTF?!?! animals are not people in the way that having sex is emotional and sharing your love. It's just breeding and a means of survival. It's also stupid to advertise wanting to breed your dog on a site that specifically says NO ANIMAL BREEDING.
People are fucking stupid.
/end rant
P.S. I've said before that if I got a gecko I'd like to breed it. But that is more out of an educational standpoint, not for selling. And I'm not sure I'd even do that.
I know, I sound like a hypocrit.

Also, she makes one hell of a St Patty's Day dinner XD

Adventures in Baby-sitting
Mar. 14th, 2009 09:19 pmJaci, Jake and I went to the movies today. We went to see The Tale of Despereaux. It's about a mouse who isn't scared of anything and that's apparently bad. It was a pretty good movie but definitely should not be rated G. It's kind of violent.
After the movie we stopped at the Target across the street. Then it was off to have pizza at The Pizza Man. Slices were huge and tasty. I got to bring home two pieces of our large pizza. I'll probably eat a piece before bed.
All-in-all, we had fun. Jake had some moments of ugliness but it was to be expected. For the most part he was fun to be around. I can't believe he'll be six on Friday. It seems like only yesterday he was just a baby. It's kind of scary actually.
I woould also like to say that it is all ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
irresistablehf's fault that I now want a gecko. I've always liked geckos, I just never thought of having them for a pet. Now I want one. Of course the mom says no. Oh well. Buddy will have to do..... For now. *evil laugh*

I FOUND ONE!
Mar. 13th, 2009 11:32 amSo I found the perfect laptop. It's a refurbished Dell & it's Sunshine Yellow. It's $419 with 3GB of memory and 250 (can't remember if it's mb or gb) harddrive. I wanted a Flamingo Pink one but they don't have one under $500 in the style I want or with the size harddrive. But I like the sunshine yellow color too. It's bright and pretty. Plus it's free shipping&handling until April 30th! So the computer is really only $419! It makes me happy. :D I also did the math and after all the money I've saved my mom will only have to pay $74 but that doesn't include a wireless router. But still! I'm very excited. I really hope I can get it.
In other news... I'm going to see my PCP today. I'm going to ask her about taking Chantix again. The first time I took it I got severly depressed. But this time it's Spring and my emotional state is always better during the warm weather. Plus I'm taking better medication for my depression. Also this time we know what to look for. And in the first six weeks I went from a pack and a half a day to a quarter of a pack a day. And that was before I had the depressive side effect. I'm thinking when I get down that far I could switch out the Chantix for, like, the lozenges or something. I don't like the gum. It tastes like pepper. But the hard candies might too because of the nicotine. But I'll have to wait and see what Kim says. I hope she'll be cool with it. Last time when I came off it she said I could always try it again and maybe not take the higher dose. General idea is that smaller dose will have less side effects.
I really want to take it again because I really want to quit smoking. I can't continue to do it financially or physically. In just the first six weeks of taking it last time my dr said she could already hear my lungs healing. And I could feel it. I was doing karaoke at the time and I noticed I could hold notes longer and sing longer without having an asthmatic coughing fit. I didn't even even cough all winter when I went out in the cold. It was so nice. I want that again. I used to be able to swim almost the entire length of the pool at the Raquet Club under water on one breath. I can barely go five feet now. And most of that five feet is just a push off from the wall. I'll be so excited when I can do that again. I love to swim but it actually makes my heart race b/c I have such a hard time breathing. I think that's part of the reason I'm not active: I can't breathe.
Hopefully things will go well today. It probably will. Kim will be excited about the weight loss and how much better I'm doing emotionally too. She's so cool b/c she genuinely cares about her patients and not just because it's what she's paid to do. It's nice to have a doctor that actually cares about how you're doing. I've known some that are just like, You're a waste of time. I'm only here because I'm being paid. It really makes you not want to see them. But it's hard when they're the only one available to see.
Anyway... My appointment isn't until 4:15pm. So I have a lot of time to procrastinate. LOL.
Well, I should get back to writing. I need to finish the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}

Talk to you later.

Here's an update on my life
Mar. 13th, 2009 01:01 amSo today I went to the cholesterol clinic. My blood tests were good, only one thing went up but just a little so it's in the right range still. Also, I've lost eight pounds since December or did she say May? Anyway January 2008 or maybe the December before, I was 181lbs. I am now 168lbs. So that made me feel pretty good.
Speaking of feeling good...... Wednesday my mom & I got haircuts. My cut was based off a style Ashlee Simpson had when her hair was black and all blunt edges and all razored. My hair looks awesome and I can't wait to show you.
Also, I didn't win any of the awards I was nominated for in the Hanfic Genre Challenge. I was nominated five times but didn't win any. :/
I also think Buddy needs a friend. He's the biggest trouble maker lately. He's jumping on the table and eating the plants and playing with my mom's knitting. First I thought it was because he was hungry. He usually starts acting out when he's hungry; chewing on things and playing with things he's not supposed to play with. He has his own toys he can play with. Maybe I need to get some chew toys for him. Or just more toys in general. I don't know. Maybe he just needs a friend. But my mom definitely will not go for that. But Buddy was used to living with ya know ten other cats. Now he's just got me 24/7 and my mom after work. I don't know.
I haven't quite decided between a refurbished laptop or a brand new netbook. I've found some good prices on both. But seriously, we also need to get a wireless router. I've found some good prices on those too. I found one laptop that once I cash my bday check from my grammie with all I've saved my mom would only have to pay...... Let me check the calculater. The guesstimate is $145 and trust me, she has the money. But then again we're trying to save up for a house. Also that 145 includes the wireless router. So it's not that bad. I think I might want a refurbished laptop instead of a new netbook b/c I want a bigger screen. But who knows. We'll just have to wait and see. I just hope it doesn't take too much longer. My mom always gets nervous with big ticket items where as I if it's something I've wanted for years as soon as I get the money and find the specific one I want, I buy it. I've come to this point in my life where I want to have nice things and I sometimes have money for those things so I buy them. What's wrong with that? I won't buy anything for a whole month just so I can have $80 to put towards saving for a laptop or netbook.
Oy vey it's late. I need to get to bed. I'll talk to u in the morning.
P.S. I'm going to see my PCP tomorrow... er today really. I'm going to try the Chantix again. A carton of my cheap brand of cigarettes went from $37.49 to $44.59 in, like, two weeks. Srsly. I really can't afford to smoke anymore. I told my mom I was never going to smoke a cig that costs over 40 bucks. I think it's funny that the day before I go to my dr to ask for help with my nicotine addiction that they finally went over $40
Goodnight for real now

Stalking the Mailman
Mar. 3rd, 2009 02:31 pmI'm not really stalking the mailman. It's more like the stalking a cat does. I only watch for him to leave my house b/c there have been plenty of times when I've opened the front door and he was standing there. It scared the crap out of both of us on all occaisions. So now I make sure he's already moved on to Joyce's house before I go for the mail. I'm hoping to get my Christmas & birthday presents from my dad. When he can remember, he sends me 50 bucks. I'm hoping that means a total of 100$. But one never knows when it comes to my dad.
*goes to check the mail*
Eh, nothing good except Old Navy telling us we can get 15% off when we use our Old Navy card. The rest was just junk ads. You know, the kind that are addressed to resident.
My dad got paid either today or yesterday so hopefully he'll send it soon. I'm saving up for a laptop. Prices have come down in a crazy way. You can get one for as little as 400$ and that's without a sale! So ya know, I may actually get one in this lifetime. Also, if I can quit smoking, that'll save me so much money. A carton of smokes is almost $40 and I smoke the cheaper ones. So out of each of my checks I have to take out 80$ which is almost my whole check! And I only give myself 20$ a week spending money and I almost can't do that with the cost of cigarettes. It's probably a good thing I don't have to pay for the luxuries of a car. Otherwise the cost of gas & smokes would eat up my entire check.
Being on assistance doesn't afford u many luxuries. But that's okay b/c I've never had a lot of money to begin with. Besides, working would probably kill me by from anxiety making my Crohn's flare and killing off my entire digestive tract and u can't live without a gut. A quote from Abbey on ER.
Okay enough weird talk. I'm going to try to write some before taking my shower.

Life in General
Feb. 20th, 2009 12:12 amSo Buddy isn't really eating or drinking. The only time we can get him to do any of it is after doing a 15 minute steam treatment in the bathroom. Also the vet told us we should probably get Buddy a vaporizer. Things are so weird. I'm just scared that his upper respitory thing has turned into pneumona or something. That maybe he'll have the same fate as the Bitch Kitty, the one who came before Buddy. I'm kind of scared because my mom said no more pets after Buddy, he has cost us too much $$$. Seriously, I want a dog next. One that isn't ever sick. But that won't happen because we always wind up with the sickly ones.
As for writing, I've posted chapter four of my Hanfic Genre Challenge story. I've also started on chapter five, which I hope to have up tomorrow some time. And then it'll be on to six. That should be up before the deadline. Plus, I don't think I have a whole lot more to write but maybe I'm wrong. I dunno. I want to at least be qualified to be voted upon.
Also, I'm still working on Mike's birthday scarf. I worked on it between writing and posting today. But at least I got that baby blanket done. And my knitting project that I'll be doing after Mike's scarf is this really awesome patch-work like baby blanket. I have to make two of them. My sister's having twins and I've got plenty of time to work on them. Especially once I get Mike's scarf done and finish my hgc fic.
I have almost enough $$$ to buy the laptop at Staples that's seriously on sale this week. If you include the wireless router with the computer, I have enough that my mom will only have to pay 150$ at the most. And if I somehow miraculously [sp?] get my Xmas money AND my birthday money from my dad, then my mom would on end up paying, like, 20$. I'm not holding my breath about my dad. But whatever.
I'm either going to sleep right now orrrr I'm going to write. But I'm not sure if I could stay awake for that.
So goodnight everyone ♥

Fuck. My mother is going to kill me.
Yesterday I went to the dentist for my six month cleaning. I pointed out this issue I have with the spot on my gums just above my very front tooth. Back @ Memorial Day, I was at a cook-out and I stabbed myself above my front tooth with a plastic fork. (would have been funnier if it was a spork.) A week or so later I noticed this huge bubble-like thing on my gum where I had stabbed myself. I popped it and blood came out and then I rinsed with salt water. I rinsed like this until it went away. As soon as I stopped rinsing, it came back. So I did the whole drain it and then rinse thing. Every time I stop rinsing it comes back. Then it went from being a bubble to this, like, hanging flap of skin. It got so big that you could see it hanging down on my tooth when I smiled. But in the past week it's gotten small enough that you can only see it when I lift my lip up all the way.
After Bridget finished cleaning my teeth yesterday, Dr. Aviza checked it out. Bridget told him the story of what happened. Dr. Aviza thought that I probably just tore the tissue there and it had grown back weird like this. But he wanted to get an x-ray just in case. So they took the x-ray and then I left. Dr. Aviza was going to look at it and get back to me.
So just a few minutes ago, Roberta called. She said that Dr. Aviza looked at the x-ray and found a small absess at the root of the tooth that the weird gum-skin-flap-thing is over. He's refering me to the root-canal dr. He thinks that they need to do a root canal and Dr. Aviza will put a permanent filling on it....which is NOT the same as a crown and does not last forever like a crown. We went through this last time when I needed a root canal and my mom was kinda pissed and was like, You are NOT doing that. You ARE putting a crown on my daughter.
So basically I'm screwed b/c a root canal is, like, $1,200. I only have about $400 left on my dental insurance and that is getting used up next month on some cavities. So, yeah. I'm screwed. I really don't want my mom to come home from work b/c I really do not want to tell her. Yesterday we were scared b/c it sounded like all of this might happen and we don't really have the money for it. But I'd really rather have it done before my tooth starts hurting like a bitch. I've had 2 absessed teeth before. One hurt like a bitch. But the second one I had didn't b/c the nerve had died. I couldn't feel anything, so I didn't even know there was something wrong until the infection made my gums and my face swell up wicked badly.
Once again, I am SO screwed.
Just thought you should know.
