Just another lazy Sunday

I'm back in the saddle again!

Yelp yelp yelp yelp...owwwww

WEEKEND REVIEW

Yowsa.  The Yelp party was a fun time.  Free booze was the only thing I partook in.  The cupcakes from Sugar Mama's looked fabulous but I just had an attack of the cha chas right before we got downtown.  My lunch of sashimi and watermelon didn't do well.  Annie Ray's photo booth was seriously fun.  We got some awesome shots.  The line was long though.  Too long to run back and grab Sarah and Dana.  Next time....next time.

Matt and I got to spend some time with our new acquaintances, Lindsay and Anthony.  They also have a "Jake" (aka 32 year old son) named Chris. Good quality people, and coming from me that's saying quite a bit.  Matt and I were discussing how unusual it is for us to invite newcomers into our circle.  Typically, we all know that person through another friend....but inviting new people into the fold hasn't happened in ages.  Yes, I guess we are very picky and love our friends.  But it's exciting to meet new people you mesh with so well.

So after the free booze was gone at the Yelp event, we headed down to Bender with our crew.    Thankfully I remember the night and had no problems taking drunky Matt home.  We even woke up at 9am and grabbed some kolaches from River City.  I was feeling no pain, kinda happy I eluded the hangover I was expecting.  2 hours later, I get run over by a freaking truck.  HARD. I puke up my breakfast and basically stayed in bed all day with a massive headache.  I've learned not to take Advil in the middle of a hangover as it speeds up my heart and freaks me out.  So I toughed it out with no meds.  Rough stuff.

Today I feel much better but sore sore sore.  Oh here are some pics to enjoy.  

Not our cake but it tasted good.

PHOTO UPLOADER IS CRAPPING OUT ON ME. MORE PICS LATER!

I knew I wasn't crazy

Sometimes I get these weird problems with my vision. Once they were so bad I went to the eye doctor immediately after seeing these strange visions. Needless to say, he diagnosed my weirdness as an ocular migraine. Blah, blah he said they were pretty harmless and typically accompany migraines (which I have never had!) Since then, I have had probably a handful of these. No biggy. Last night, just as the game was starting, I could feel one coming on. It was difficult to explain to Matt and Jake what I was seeing. I went to bed, rested my eyes and fell alsleep.

Earlier today, I was googling the term since my eyes aren't feeling 1oo% recovered and I found this website that describes EXACTLY what I am seeing. It's called a scotoma. Now I feel relieved. I'm not insane.

I heard on the news that next week we will have temps dip into the teens. I am very excited for that. It may be time to break out the crochet this weekend and make some hats, gloves and scarves!

I cheated, so what?

Eh, this juice diet is boring me. I've replaced breakfast and lunch with juice, but I haven't managed to do dinner. I just don't have the willpower. Judging from the scale, I'm doing much better than I thought. I felt like I ballooned out of control this holiday, but the scale says otherwise.

Tomorrow there is a Yelp open party that I am dragging Matt to come with. Wow, I haven't been "out" in awhile, so that will be nice for a change.

This week has been so draining on me. Every day I come home and I'm exhausted. Waking up has been a chore. I don't think I am getting much sleep lately. Matt has his cedar fever junk and it's keeping me up every night. Blarg.

At least work has picked up. I have a million new projects on my plate. It's keeping me occupied and my naughtiness in check. Speaking of, I better get back to it.

And the juice diet begins!

So hungry.....

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Resolution time!

Yada yada yada here is Dawn's list of resolutions for the new year.

Eat better/lose weight/work out
Ugh I was doing so well on this one a few months ago but I have let myself slide. Tomorrow I jump-start my new healthy outlook with a nice juice fast. I know this isn't healthy but neither is looking at my fat ass.

Clean up after myself/the house/Matt
Yes I am lazy. Yes Matt takes care of the majority of housework. That's not right. I need to get more involved and help him out.

Take better care of the pets
Poor Sue is so fat and lonely. Obviously Colotte is too needy with me, so she won't spend time with the dog. Sue really needs a playmate, but we don't even take Sue for walks anymore. That's horrible. We are bad parents and we need to treat our elder animals like babies if we want to consider a puppy in the future.

Learn to cook
I am a terrible cook. Thank goodness Matt enjoys cooking, else we would be living off cereal and pb & j. Time to go grocery shopping for meals and stop eating out. Now on to the next one....

Stop eating out for lunch
It's so hard when Whole Foods is 30 seconds away, but WF is quite expensive. I need to start making lunches at home and not driving home (which wastes gas and my car.)

Lay off the booze
Again, I was doing very well on this one a few months ago, but I have gotten into a bad habit of daily drinking. Bad, bad. I need to go back to my weekend only drinking. Plus beer is not helping my figure.

Look forward to change
I would like to elaborate more on this, but my blog is not private and I don't want to discuss future plans that aren't in the making. So that means I need to get motivated to change my surrounding. I don't need to be in a situation that makes me unhappy or gives me daily anxiety.


So how was that list? I would love to say I will try my hardest to keep this list alive, but I am lazy and I know it. Maybe this year will be the anti-lazy year?

Finally!!!!

I beat Fallout 3 tonight. About time!
Sent from my iPhone

i love our new iMac!!!!!

Yes, we finally got a new computer. She is beautiful. As soon as I figure out how to use it, I can elaborate. It was a bit of a challenge to make the move to an Apple. Being the PC nerd that I am, I now know NOTHING about this computer. It's not easy, as you guys know I like to be the queen nerd at everything. I am such an Apple n00b. It's a 20 inch screen.....totally amazing. I can't believe how fast and clear everything is. Now we need to get a better computer chair so I can plant myself in the office and learn how to use this machine.

I've really been enjoying my mini break, as I like to call it. I am proud to say I have drank since Monday. Not stumbling drunk, but happy drunk. It has been nice. Sadly I have spent too much time eating this holiday. I blame it on the eggnog Matt and I have injested with gusto. A good friend of mine mentioned she is in the same boat....."the eggnog 10." Damn Pennsylvania Dutch! Why does it have to be so delicious?? And why aren't my pants fitting? Thank goodness for yoga pants!!!

Sorry I've been boring.

No posts from me lately. Sadly my iphone died within a day of my panhandle Christmas, so I wasn't able to blog pics to my loyal 4 readers. Anyways, we did snap some funny pictures though. They are at home, waiting for me to download.

What did we get for Christmas you may wonder.....Well my parents gave us the rest of our wedding registry items we desperately needed. Hooray! Bunny gave Matt and I some gifts too. But the best gift we gave each other is an iMac. Matt bought it a few hours ago. I am so excited to get my grubby hands on it but I can't tonight. Why you may ask?



HOLIDAY BOWL TONIGHT!!!! GO POKES! BEAT OREGON!

The worst piece of shit burrito EVER!!!!

Taco Shack sucks!

Buddha cat takes nap on your desk

My cat is cooler than your cat

Hi i hate the holidays how are you?

Yes you read that right. I hate the holidays. I'm just in a grippy mood because I'm pulling a 50 hour work week. That would make anyone pissy right? Yep. That's me. A grinch.

Let me tell you what I am tired of:

*my job
*the economy
*talk about how bad we have it it in for us (via economy)
*the thought of a pay cut
*not buying gifts this year
*not spending time with Matt
*my drunky co-worker
*this yo-yo weather
*no food at the house
*cracks in the ceiling

What I am happy about:

*matt
*my family back together
*heather getting married next year
*not being fat
*having a job
*almost no credit card debt
*not being at work


So there are my irks and perks in a nutshell. Next week should be better. I can handle 2 and a half days of work. We are flying to the panhandle on Wednesday night to visit Matt's mom. I haven't been so this should be fun fun fun! I'm crossing my fingers for snow.

That's some crazy fog!

Our first tree in our new house!

Isn't is sweet?

First ice of the season...

Check that out. It's ice on my car. I took that pic this morning on my way to work. Last night we went to a yelp event at The Scoot Inn and it started to rain a bit. It was COLD! We decided to drop into Longbranch Inn and see Elizabeth. Once inside it started to sleet like crazy. We left a bit after the downpour and drove home in it. It wasn't too bad. I could hear it on the windows all night.



Our roof looked so pretty this morning. Too bad it didn't stick. That's Texas weather for you. It was 81 yesterday and sleeting 8 hours later. Go figure. Global warming at it's finest.

Whaaaaa is this?

I said I would post the pics!

Ok, I know a few posts back I said I would add pictures so I am. Look at me keeping my blog word and everything. Even though Matt posted the funny ones on facebook already. But look back to the Steen's weekend visit to see pics if you are so inclined:

http://dawnitabee.blogspot.com/2008/11/hi.html

What was I thinking?

So I decide to make some cookies Saturday for Ryan, Jake and Matt. They are the pre-made cookies in the dough aisle. I see that our cookie dish is dirty and decide to use a cooling rack instead. See picture of cookies 5 minutes after.




What was I thinking? A cooling rack? This is why I don't cook. I am not making excuses for my terrible food but I don't use my head when I'm in the kitchen. I don't understand why I can make breakfast though. Go figure.

Matt and Jake thought it would be funny to post the above picture to my facebook account. Those boys...

I just got my ugly sweater from ebay today. If I don't win I will be incredibly sad. It's soooooooo ugly. That's all I can say about it since it's a surprise. I have a feeling there will be some stiff competition this year. It's not just about the ugly Christmas sweater, but the entire ensemble. I have heard some seriously good ideas and I'm ready for the battle.

Tomorrow is Z-bar's annual holiday party. Honestly, I never care for these parties. We work so hard the days before it that I lose any feeling but exhaustion. Tonight I pulled a 12 hour shift and I have another one tomorrow night. There is really nothing to enjoy....it's not like the employees are getting to have fun or rewarded for busting ass.

Matt bought Fallout 3 tonight. I'm very jealous and can't wait to get my dorky hands on it. I've heard really fantastic things about it. This weekend will be strictly beer and gaming.

I finally got my wedding pictures!!!! I'm so happy to have them all and have a chance to see them up close. Everytime I look at them I see something new. Now it's time to get the mom's photo albums ready for Christmas. Maybe I will develop a love for scrapbooking and give my crochet hobby a run for its money.

It's only 5:03pm?!?!?!

Ugh. This has been a long day. I haven't worked a Black Friday in
years. It was pretty steady at Z land. I popped in and out of the
office to help the floor out. That's how fantastic I am.

Sara and I did sneak off to Thai Tara for lunch today. It was pretty
good. The car beside me got towed and it looked just like mine. I
almost shit myself as it pulled away.

I am looking forward to getting some booze in me ASAP.

My attempt of Nory's artichoke dip.

It was really good. The recipe was simple and easy to follow. I was
quite proud of myself!

Hi.

What's up? Oh not much here. Let's see. What did I do this weekend? We went over to Kyle's and watched the Tech/OU game. It was a miserable watch for both sides. Then we waited for Cade's sister to drive in from Arizona. We got out to W. 6th around 12:30. We never do that. Anywho, we visited Dirty Bill's for the first time. I dug it. Very cool place. Kim and Cade and Matt got tore up. I remained relatively sober, as usual. We had a party at the house till 4am. What were we thinking?

I had my first semi-solid food Sunday. Blackened catfish and a baked potato from Cherry Creek Catfish. It was pretty good and I didn't have any complications.

This morning I went over to WF and grabbed some scrambled eggs and pancakes. I grabbed banana walnut, which was a no-no. Basically I ended up spitting out all walnuts. That also went well. As long as I have my irrigation syringe, I think I am ok. I'd describe it, but it's kinda gross. It doesn't go in my butt, by the way.

Well, I think that's it. Kim took some funny pics on Saturday. I'll post them up as soon as I get them.

Sorry for the boring post.

Life goes on...

Ahhh it seems I am constantly filled with complaints, be it my job or my body. Sometimes I wonder if it's just my nature to complain or does my life suck? Really my life doesn't suck. I have a husband that I adore and a beautiful house. I have 2 babies I love with all my heart and our other son Jake. I have a job, I should feel fortunate. It's a hard time right now with the economy going down the shitter. Even though I dislike my job at the moment, I really don't have any bright, shining options in my future. Besides who really likes their job? The only thing that IRKS me is the staying late with no notice. I do have a life outside work and I do enjoy spending time with my husband. It seems I come home at 7pm every night and we only have 3 hours before we go to bed. That doesn't seem like much in my opinion.

Being the fabulous worker I am, I decided to finally create a blog for Zanzibar. Here it is: www.zanzibaraustin.blogspot.com
This is my pride and joy, created and maintained by yours truly. Sadly it didn't take too long as I have lot's of experience with blogger. I'm excited to keep it going, just like my personal blog, and get it out there.

It seems the chompers are healing. I'm off the pain meds and trying to go cold turkey with no advil. It's not too hard. I guess I can handle more pain than expected. It's like a constant dull ache. I can deal with it. I really miss eating. I'm so exhausted with smoothies, pudding and mashed potatoes. The weight loss is great, but I would kill a small animal for a cheeseburger and fries.

First scarf of the season!

Yes she is a bit small now but expect her to get very wide in the next
few days. The yarn I am using is very thick... Much thicker than
expected. It will be interesting to see how she turns out.

Perfect!

So I'm not crazy. I have a dry socket. For all you lazy clickers here is a short answer: This condition exist when a blood clot is dislodged from the surgery site thus exposing the bone and fine nerve endings. The blood clot helps in the stopping of bleeding and lays the foundation or framework for new tissue and bone to develop over a two-month healing process.

FANTASTIC! So I wake up this morning in crazy amounts of pain and I figure that this isn't normal. I grab my iphone and look up information on dry sockets. That's what I have! So I go into the surgeons office this morning and they filled my hole with some clove oil. Mmmmmmmm it tastes like shit and kinda burns. I'm not really sure if it's working. I've refrained from my daily dose of pain medication so I can feel if it's working. The hole doesn't hurt as much but my jaw is radiating with pain. Popped another pain pill an hour ago and I feel better.

Hopefully it will assist in the healing process since I somehow lost my clot. Oh where oh where can he be? My poor blood clot went away...just when I needed him most. Hehehe.

On to better news....

I won tickets from Do512 to see Tuna Does Vegas tomorrow night! That should be interesting. But the best news of the week is I HAVE TICKETS TO TWILIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!! Nory and I bought them at the Alamo South yesterday waiting in line to see the latest Bond flick. How awesome is that? I CANNOT WAIT!!!! I need to find a Team Jacob shirt.

i am the pain princess!

wow. i am still in severe pain. it's my left side, around my jaw. it's still swollen. you can feel something like a ball around my lower jaw. the right side has gone down and no longer hurts. last night the pain in my jaw woke me up at 5am. that means time for another pill. it's so weird actually needing pain medication. let's be honest....pain pills are fun for recreational purposes. i tend to use them the first day and horde them for a rainy day. not with this surgery. i am in need of relief every 6 hours. it's crazy! i really have a better appreciation of what vicodin does and how much pain it actually blocks.

i'm pretty tired talking about my pain. it's boring. i did buy tickets for the new Bond movie this afternoon. I am somewhat embarrassed to go out in public with my cheek looking all freaky. Oh well. I'll be back at work on Monday and having to deal with being out in public.

gonna put on my big girl panties and deal with it.

Football makes Colotte tired.

AARRRGGGGGGGG!

wow. just wow. i really expected this to be less painful, haha.

the surgery was not bad at all. i went in, the wrapped me in a blanket, gave me some gas and hooked me up to an iv. i was slightly aware of what was going on for about 30 seconds then i went to sleep. i woke up when we were done. i kept asking..."when are we gonna start?" they laughed and said we were done. i was completely unaware of the time that passed.

they brought ryan in and went over some post-op instructions and we went back to ryan's place. i was ok until the numbness wore off. that was bad. real bad. i had to take pain pills back to back. then matt came by for me. i was funny i was so knocked out from the pain pills but i was awake. i could hear them talking about me but i just couldn't talk back. i could only use hand gestures. i did bleed all over ryan's pillow. blood. let me tell you...i haz it. lot's of it just streaming out of my mouth, even with the gauze. grossness.

ryan was incredibly kind and would wake me up to eat, and see how i was doing. he did a great job taking care of me.

so last night i came home and laid around with a steady diet of pain killers. matt made some mashed potatoes and i almost lost those.

the pain in my left jaw is unbearable. i've been icing it all day. when i woke up this morning it was throbbing. i'm eating now so i can go back to taking those lovely pills. i washed my face this morning and touched my cheek and almost cried. it is so painful and puffy. i really do look like a chipmunk hording nuts.

well, that's my sad story. it hurts to talk too. that's kinda good so i can just lay here all day, watch football and just be careful jake and matt doesn't do something too permanent to my face.

scared shitless

Why am I terrified? I can't even concentrate on basic tasks. It's a simple surgery. I guess I'm scared of being sedated. Well, hopefully it will all go away when I take my Valium in 30 minutes. How funny is it that I am craving water? Of course I can't eat or drink anything after midnight so I am dying for a big glass of water. I had to throw my water bottles away. I keep looking at the water cooler besides my desk thinking I can lick it just a bit and it won't count right?

Matt made a fabulous dinner last night. It was delicious. Nothing works wonders to keep a tummy settled like spaghetti and meatballs.

Surgery Day Tomorrow!

Yes Friday is the big day for my mouth. I get 3 wisdom teeth pulled. Due to the amount of teeth and procedure of the surgery (cutting my gums, the angle of pulling my teeth, etc...) they want me to be sedated with an IV. Hooray right? I'm a tad bit on the nervous side. Actually I am super scared.

I dropped off 5 prescriptions last night. I'm glad to have a lot of medication ready, but still....I have only been sedated once and I did not like it. I slightly have some recollection of it and it was not pleasant.

The worst thing about the whole day is I have to work till 2pm. Yes, I can't even take off on my day of surgery. The shitty thing about that is not being able to eat or drink for the early part of the day. Oh well...sometimes I get a break and sometimes I don't.

Matt has a mandatory inventory day so Ryan is taking me to my appointment and driving me back home. I really hope I don't cry, throw up or take off my clothes in front of him. Actually, I don't care...it's Ryan.

Well, I better resume my day at work. Work work work. Bleh.

When creativity kicks in!

My new iPhone cozy. Took less than an hour last night to bang out.
And no pattern used!

Matt returns!

My sweet babies.

Friends on Facebook/Myspace....

Ahhhh.... the add friend dilemma. Let me tell you why this irks me. I have one rule when it comes to the adding friend request. Talk to me. Don't just add me because we went to high school, or you are my sisters friend or we were once friends, etc. Talk to me. Say hi. Make small talk. If you can't even do that, then why be friends? Why would I let you into my circle of social neworking if you can't even send a greeting?

There was this guy I used to be friends with back in college. Actually, he was close to my ex. So he added me on Myspace and I thought "hey that's cool....now we can tell stories from times past and shoot the shit." He never once messaged me or left a comment. So I was a tab bit annoyed. He found me so I left the ball in his court to say hi....never did. Many months later during my semi-annual cleaning of the friends on Myspace, I dropped him. The next day he sent me a request to add him. No message, just a generic request. Needless to say I was pissed. I denied his request and never looked back. I wonder, how did he know I dropped him so quickly? Was it just luck or was he a constant follower of my online life and updates? If so, then why the lack of communication? Have we become this retarded in society that it's ok to live thru the internet and forget how to hold an electronic conversation?

It really boggles my mind. What is the point of collecting friends on social networking sites? And it's not just those sites but others like Yelp. I can understand being in Austin and liking the same places but why are people in Arizona wanting to be my friend? PLUS I never get a message. Irritating. I'm not in the "let's see who can get the most friends" quest. I would rather have 10 friends who send me messages, comments and occasional greetings than have 234 friends I couldn't give 2 shits about.

Ok rant off. :)

iueyroiuqwyepr98qwypteyqwe!!!

yep that's how i feel right now. 1 root canal done, 1 partial root canal left along with 3 wisdom teeth extractions next week. my poor mouth.

ugh the novacaine made me sick and nauseous. of course the 4 shots helped but i'm cold and numb. plus the dental hygenist was a bitch. that's not what you need when you are nervous and in mid-panick attack mode. i was about to rip that damn nose thing off. but i'm alive now. sadly the pain is starting to kick in. the numbness is wearing off.

i kept thinking about little shop of horrors the whole time. i really love me some steve martin.

ok back to the couch. the meds are almost ready and momma is going to go to happy land in an hour.

Mmmmmmmmm freebies!

Free election scoop day!

Day 2...guilt sets in

Ok just finished my second mcrib for the week. I don't feel gross like in Supersize Me, just guilty. Matt is gonna be mad when he sees the 2 debit charges to McDonald's in a week. But this is for science. Nah not really. I feel guilt because I haven't gained back my pre-wedding weight and THIS is not helping matters. I was expecting to honestly gain it all back by the honeymoon. But being sick for the past 2 weeks has left me with a small appetite. I weighed myself a few days ago and almost cried I was so happy.

Ok, maybe I should stop the Mcrib. Right? But it's SO DAMN GOOOOOOOOOD.

Diary of an addict

Yes that is our new Roomba below

We finally did it. We bought a Roomba yesterday. His name is Godfrey.

We watched him for a while last night. It was pretty fun actually. We would follow him around the room and giggle as he bumped into things. We turned him on at night and went to bed. He docks by himself when he is done. I got up to get some water and Sue and Colotte were sitting on the floor, watching him with distrust. It was pretty funny.

"what the hell is that?"

My pumpkin

Yes I am a dork.

My desk is a mess!

Ugh being sick has given me an extra dose of the lazy bug. Look at
that nasty desk! Usually I pride myself on my organization, but not
lately.

So much work to do and not enough time.

I'm working on my pumpkin at home. It's nor as perfect as I want.
I'll post later tonight because I am a dork.

my iphone is ill

Seriously my child is not working. I can't get the back button to work at all. So every time I need to go back to the menu I have to reset my phone. Plus it's making weird noises. Poor thing.

Made an appointment with the iphone doctor today. Hope my baby gets well tonight.

weird.

So last night Matt and I were looking for pumpkin carving images on google. We decided to google "sexy pumpkin carving" and the 2nd image that appeared looked really familiar. I kept looking at that picture because it looked very much like my pumpkin I did a few years back. Guess what? IT IS MINE! Look at the bottom of the pumpkin. That is our fireplace back at our place off Far West.



I cannot remember on what website I posted it, but it's my pic. Weird that my mudflap girl is semi-famous huh?


I'm still sick. I'm going to the doctor as soon as I can get in. Being sickly is no fun.

On the mend?

I think I'm back. I'm surely not 100% back to normal...maybe 65%. But I will take it over feeling the way I have the past few days. I have enjoyed my new hobby, Fable II. Poor Matt hasn't had a chance to watch TV in 2 days because I am hooked.

The Cowboys play the Horns Saturday afternoon. Matt and I are very excited about this game. OSU is ranked #6! Haven't seen that in a while. I am sure it will be a good game and all my fingers are crossed.

This wasn't much of a post, sorry about that. I just don't feel like blogging.

too sick to blog

i don't know what happened to me in the span of 24 hours but i got knocked on my ass by something nasty.

my throat HURTS and i'm getting that body ache feeling. every hour i seem to feel worse.

and i was so looking forward to my first book club meeting. now i just want to rip out my throat.

Go pokes!!!!!

Look at that hot man!

OSU tailgate

I'm in an airport bar drinking alone...

It's kinda liberating being by myself and getting quietly hammered
while I wait for my flight. I hate flying with a passion so the Xanax
has loosened me up enough to venture out of my gate and into Chilis.
The men are being nice and making small talk. Of course I'm a married
woman so they aren't feeling my vibe yet. I think the smell isn't on
me yet. Maybe a few more years.

This weekend...

Couldn't come any sooner. Yes I am spoiled for wanting another break from work, but playing catch up is hard!

I leave tonight for Oklahoma. Matt and Martin are picking me up from the airport. Matt has been in Dallas since Monday morning so we haven't seen in each other in a week. That is a long time for newlyweds.

Then we are going to the Oklahoma State homecoming game Saturday against Baylor. Can't wait! I'm excited to go to Eskimo Joe's and BW3, my favorite places in Oklahoma.

Sadly I have a 3 hour flight to look forward to. Yah I know, it's pretty ridiculous. Maybe I'll get my drink on.

Felicity brought in her baby to Zanzibar this afternoon. Her name is Penelope and she is ADORABLE. I am serious....she is so cute and chubby and so happy. I almost wanted one, almost.

Can't get enough Dawn & Matt pictures?

I know you can't. In case you may have not heard, our wedding gallery is up and available to view! Pictures can be purchased or you can buy the rights to the photos for $1.99...instant gratification. How nifty is that?
