Amazing Discoveries
I have a few tidbits for you boys and girls. The first is a discovery of a yummy diet soda. In my house...we only drink what is on sale, and if nothing is on sale...we go thirsty. So this week diet cherry coke was on sale. I am a lover of cherry coke, but with my sugar restrictions one diet a day is all i can have. As I went to reach for the box...the coke delivery guy asked me if I liked it. I said I had never had it and had never seen it before. He said it is new to the area. How then would i have liked it if I couldnt have had it? Anyways to my surprise it is very good. You should try it. Second...I have discovered and amazing flavor of popcorn. It is Orville Redenbackers Honey Butter. I could eat the whole bag and probably will. It may have the most fat of any popcorn out there but boy does it taste good. The two new selections together are quite good. You will have to try them. Update on the juicer...I have not been notified of its shipment. Guess I would go thirsty if it wasnt for my new soda!

My Small Appliance Day
As you all may know...I have been franticly surfing the internet over the last few days trying to fill in my needs for the big move. I have searched high and low trying to scrimp and save and get the biggest bang for my buck as they say in the trashy business world. Well I finally gave up on ordering online..because I refuse to pay shipping..and I couldnt get the best deals for all products needed in one place to get super saver shipping. So off to LNT grandma and I go. I swear I could spend hours in the utensil isle. But I stayed focused. I went directly to slow cookers and found my new little friend. He is 5 qts and white...with a push button control panel. Then I got my chopper. Cuisinart new style. Grandma opened a charge to get me the extra 10% and we had a coupon. All in all a very successful trip. I did however break the bank on a juicer. I never had a plan of buying one....but HSN had one on super sale...and the 90 year old fitness guy selling it was very convincing. I figure...I can get rid of all of the vitamin deficiencies I have with that thing. It should be interesting. I currently have a shopping cart full of things at LNT.com I figure if I wait a few days...I will realize maybe I dont need all of them. This whole shopping online thing is so new to me..i dont want to get addicted. If anyone knows of a support group for things like this...email me.

SUFFOLK SUCKS
I give up. Really if I have to go back to the Suffolk program i will be a very unhappy camper. I cant even describe to you how many times they have screwed things up for me. First I was done with my liberal arts electives...then I wasnt...then I was...then I wasnt. So I take another class...that they are now refering to as "moot". Anybody that knows what that means please let me know. I havent received a bill from them for the last two semesters. Though they always manage to send me a letter claiming I am some criminal who defaults on my bill. I am waiting and waiting for someone to get back to me about a leave of absence, but apparently it must not be too important or they would have gotten back to me quickly. I dont expect things to get much better at any other school, especially one with more students. I just want what i pay for and what i deserve. If i didnt go to a makeshift school I could have returned the textbooks I havent been able to use. I have been told that Cape students are not regarded as important in Boston, and since we dont have ID's arent allowed to return them. Sigh....there better be a credit to my platinum card by 5 or else! Then I call CCCC to see if I am getting my refund from them soon and they ask if I requested one! I was like...I have to request my money back? Apparently if you drop a class...and dont demand your money back...it goes into some "money made for no services rendered account" that the government holds. I'll have my refund by the end of next week...we shall see. I requested information from Bridgewater State College almost two weeks ago...nothing. I requested info from a she she la la apartment complex I cant afford on Saturday and it comes today. Its not my fault my priorities are warped...its all on the United States Postal Service. Tomorrow I am going to look at an apartment place called the Boulders. More reasonable than the complex mentioned above...but in a less desirable area. I will also cruise by she she la la ville also known as Chestnut Farm to get the lowdown. It isnt even finished yet. Brand spanking new with fitness center and computer lab. I know I will fall in love with it but I have to be reasonable. Maybe we can get a short term lease...and move somewhere that heat is included when winter comes? We shall see. Wish me luck!

Hangin My Head
I hang my head in shame....for letting this go for so long. The truth is I honestly couldnt even motivate myself to do this things have been so bad. I wont elaborate too much out of embarassment...but lets just say I have been nutsy cookoo. The last few months have been nuts with tons of appointments to try to get better. I am down to seeing my counselor once a week, and the doctor every three months. This is a vast improvement from twice a week, and once a week respectively. I have also joined the gym...which i skipped this morning because Ben was here and the bed was so warm. Other than today..things have been progressing. I have been trying to go five days a week....45 minutes on the elliptical and then weights and abs. I have to admit it does make me feel better. Physically I ache...but mentally I almost have pep. I have been reading like crazy, because i fear that my brain will turn to moosh if I rely on my telecourse for education. Nothing stressful..right now i am reading the shopaholic series...which I must highly recommend. Anyone with outstanding credit card bills...this is your savior. Its a great laugh...and alot takes place in Britain...so the language is so cute. Brady is doing well, because we changed his food to the new Purina Indoor Formula. He is eating like a pig...and seems so much happier. Guess Iams is the eggplant of cat food. On an even more exciting note....I went to Target last week. My first real outing in over a month. I got some clearanced exercise clothes...and grandma got me a really cool new raincoat for valentines day! I think its red...some think its orange...really it isnt up for debate...but very cool. I swear if i had a ton of money i would buy myself a whole new wardrobe at Target. I cant wait for flipflop and skirt weather. I have them ready and waiting. Let the sun shine in soon!
