i don't know how long it will last, but i deactivated my facbook.
i logged on this morning and realized that i clicked on a notification that likely hacked my account. I did that standard change your password deal, which normally fixes that problem.
but, i started thinking about it and realized that I mostly have a facebook for others. so others can get in touch with me, so i can see what others are up to. yes i am a super guilty facebook stalker. my bad. i think we all are facebook stalkers. plus to me, the whole facebook concept, well it's hyper voyeuristic.
I decided in a split second that I should just deactivate my account. just to see the difference. I thought about killing all my social media (this blog included), but i blog for me, it helps me work through things in my noggin and sometimes it just helps me flex my writing muscles.
this whole exercise in deconnecting, sort of makes sense though. In fact, I love not having a cell phone. i hate being tethered, i hate when people are able to get a hold of me. But right now I have a cell and it's sort of a necessity. I do still try to keep it off when it's not needed.
so this is my first step in de-tethering myself from the interwebs.
sometimes you just need your best friend
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 Labels: change, friends, friendship, heterosexual life mates
I spent almost all of yesterday with my HLM (heterosexual life mate). In fact, she tried to just get me to come home with her and have a sleep over. We always seem to get into some sort of trouble or get lost when we're together. Yes we get lost in the same town we've lived in most of our lives. We're awesome like that. Luckily, I learned how to work my phone and now we're utilizing my free gps app (voiced by a British guy, who i named Cedric). So our shenanigans were reduced by 10%, you'd think it would be more, but honestly, I'm really proud of that 10%.
We hang out all afternoon and ended up at her MIL. Who I freakin' adore. I've house sat and kid sat for her several times over the years. I think she wants to adopt me, no lie. I love this lady. I always feel at home when I'm around her, which is a big compliment. There aren't that many people that just put me at ease. We had a wonderful time just hanging out and talking.
I needed that. We also talked about how me and HLM have essentially changed places in the past 5-6 years. She was the over bearing (i am not overbearing) one who was just a bit harsh, while i was the one everyone said was the nicest person ever. NOW she is so afraid of rocking the boat that sometimes she let herself get run over and I apparently have lost my filter and just don't give a F*&( anymore. I say what I think and I just don't put up b.s. anymore. I'll be honest, this is pretty damn accurate. I've always been this way, but now I'm just this way all the time. I'm still super nice, but if I don't like someone, I do not waste my time on them. I don't try to get people to better themselves or fit into a box.
Either you're worth my time, or you're not.
pretty simple.
one thing hasn't changed, if someone, really anyone, needed something, like truly needed it, i'll be there. I'm not going to go run and pick you up a pack of cigs b/c you're jonesing. But if you're sick, I'll totally come over and make you soup. Plus I'll probably clean your house (disinfect like a crazy lady) and not think a thing about it.
I think the old adage about having "friends for a season and friends for a reason" is true. I've found that I've had a lot of people turn out to be seasonal friends. People who I thought were there forever, and it's really jaded me. I've never had problems making friends, but i find myself hesitating lately.
But i am tons happier after spending time with my friend.
I may be MIA until Sunday. I have a ridiculous weekend planned. Fri-dinner with HLM and her husband, Saturday morning the hubs and I are going to a Russian brunch, then maybe the art center, then I am going to a 1 year old's bday party ( i am such a party animal) while the hubs hangs out with friends. Then Saturday is going to be date night with the hubs.
I hope you're all having a great week and I hope it just gets better after the hump.

I try to keep this blog relegated to me and my craziness. i feel like that minimizes the chances of someone else stumbling upon my blog and being upset at me. not that I care all that much, but enough to not stir the pot all that much.
ya know this weekend started out crappy. we tried to change the brakes, and by we, i mean the hubs did while I sat outside in a bag chair with a blanket cheering him on. The last bolt between him and success was rusted and no amount of tugging was going to loosen it up. So we had to take our truck to a mechanic and be fiscally screwed by them. I wish they would at least give you flowers or a poem of appreciation.
Luckily for us, my in-laws fronted the money and we're paying them back in installments. that saved us like whoa.
on friday i found a certain family member may have knocked up his gf. yep.
well on Saturday I found out my brother and his wife are separating. It's not like we didn't see it happening, but it's sad. They've been married since before I was a teen. it's just sad. my nephew is still young and I know it's going to be hard on him and that's hard on me. At the end of the day I just want everyone to do right by him.
today, I read on facebook that my bff got married. yes i read it on facebook. maybe it's because I am a girl, but I am pissed at him. not even a text saying "hey I am eloping" if they actually eloped and didn't have some sort of service. I get that he's in the military now and all the way in Texas, but dang, we've been best friends since we were four years old. He is like another brother to me. We have been each others best friend forever. We both helped each other through break ups, heart breaks, parents dying, grandparents dying, covering for each other with about everyone for everything.
He's even best friends with my hubs. They are pals, and again, let someone know something.
I might punch him in the throat next time I see him.
but on a high note, the hubs just found my wedding band. it has been lost for a week and i've felt naked without it. so way to end the weekend on a high note!

I think I have shin splints. I'm not 100% certain. But let me break it down for you.
I thought that my hardware in my leg was hurting. Each step I took I would have pain in and around that area. So of course I quickly blamed it on my injury.
But today I couldn't really distinguish where the pain was radiating from. So i decided to do a bit of stretching and sure enough, it is NOT coming from the break site. Don't get me wrong, that part hurts, but it's not coming from there.
It's the muscle on top of shin to the outside of my right leg. From my ankle to 3/4 the way up my leg. Then it hurts on the side *break site and ORIF scar) and the outermost part of calf muscle.
When I broke my leg, I jacked up all the tendons, ligaments and muscles and I know there is scar tissue and it has limited my range of motion in obvious ways. I've been trying to exercise and get more use of my leg, so this is really bothering me. Because really all you can do for shin splits is 1.stay off of it, 2. ice it (can't stand ice near all the metal in my leg, so this is a no go) and 3. compression.
I wore my slippers outside on the concrete. Which is dumb. but they are so warm. They have zero support though, so i figure i gave myself a nice case of shin splints. I've done this countless time as a teen when I ran all the time. It's just another set back.
I have been getting out and about and living life to the best of my ability and to have to sideline myself, sucks. I will survive.
I am going to do a nice foot soak in a bit, wrap my leg with an ace bandage and keep it elevated.
what do you do for shin splints?

I do enjoy the fact that there is a holiday that celebrates love. Who can fault that? BUT I don't really celebrate it like most people. Mike and I are two of the most nauseatingly lovey dovey people already. I think there would a nuclear explosion if we tried to be MORE lovey dovey.
I figure when we have kids, we'll do the whole shebang. Heart shaped pancakes, cards and valentines outfits. Because I think that stuff is adorable.
But for one another.
We're good with a simple I love you.
So Michael, I love you. Happy Valentine's Day. You are my best friend and the best husband a gal could ever wish for.

I think I may have crossed over some country bumpkin line last night.
We ran out of the apartment at 8:45 last night to return out redbox rentals before we were charged an extra day. BTW those folks don't play. At 9:01 pm you're getting charged for another day.
Anyway, as we come down our hall (which is open to the outside).
I declared, "Honey, it smells like Manure. Like... Well like cow manure."
Hubs; "I'm concerned hon."
me: "About my ability to discern different types of animals poop via smell?"
hubs: "Pretty much, yeah."
ahh the life being married to country girl...
If you were wondering what the worst smelling Manure possible happens to be... I will tell you. It's chicken. You'll want to stab a farmer in the eye ball if they use that shit. (Pun intended).
The only other thing worse than smelling chicken manure every time you step out your front door, is smelling a polecat spray (skunk). Yes, my lovely, SOLID WHITE, German Shepherd decided to bother a skunk one night and took one full force in the face. But she did it under my bedroom window. So not only was my damn dog smelling nasty, my whole bedroom stank to high heaven for weeks.
The more you know.....
knowledge is power and junk.

i have been MIA. I wrote a post thurs or fri but forgot to publish it. i'm lamesauce. sorry.
I have just been trying to be more active in my day to day life. i've been on the go as much as possible.
Even when my leg is hurting like crazy (queue today's hobbling), i've been trying to move it move it. We were going to go to the art center today... BUT we had to do laundry first and we drug booty until it was going to be super packed and I can't do crowds when I'm struggling to walk at a normal pace.
After doing laundry at the Laundry mat (we found a new one and don't have to do it here anymore, b/c ya know stinky armpit people who don't believe in detergent make the dryers stink) we ran all over town. Including getting a slice of organic pizza. nom nom.
the hubs made dinner because i could barely stand at this point (boo).
we had burgers which is a treat b/c we only have beef a few times a month, but since i've been all anemic we're having to increase the frequency. But these burgers were not your average run of the mill burgers. no these were super organic, yummy burgers.
grass fed beef
organic bacon
organic buns (super yummy, fresh ones)
with fresh guacamole as condiments.
seriously one of the cleanest, best tasting burgers i've ever had. so go hubs with his bad self!
now i am chilling out, with my leg propped up laying on a heating pad. so maybe this whole inability to walk will be resolved by tomorrow.
anywhoo, i hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!
be safe!
