I've put on a bit of weight this month. I don't know how much but I feel really uncomfortable and my clothes are getting tight. It's because we have been eating out ALOT more than normal. So no more eating out...time to get back on the Wii Fit and I'm really hoping I get my elliptical machine for xmas.
My doggie goes into get neutered tomorrow. Surgery always makes me nervous so it's going to be a rough day for me until he is home with me.
I had this crazy dream the other night. I was pregnant and I kept running around showing everyone the positive pregnancy test.
I find this crazy because I've been having some problems in that region lately. I've been dizzy alot, I almost fainted, my lower back is hurting alot, I've been getting alot of sharp pains and I'm 2 weeks late. I took 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative so I'm not sure whats going on. I think I might need to go see my doctor at this point.
It seems Winter is being chased away. The last few days have been in the 60's, where last week it was in the 40's. This odd weather pattern worries me.
Can you believe we have our tree up? I couldn't wait. I'll have to post pictures sometime. People are shocked to see that we have our tree up with presents under it already. I think it may be time to start decorating outside this week because I don't know how long this nice weather will last. It's always better to do it when it's warm than to be out there when it's snowing.
I finally got some new fish. My old fish all died suddenly and I found a bunch of dead spiders in the water right after they died. I still think it is somehow connected. The only thing that survived that was my chinese algae eater. After a complete cleaning of the aquarium and waiting a few months I finally decided to get some new fish. Up to this point it was just my algae eater and a pink betta that my boyfriend rescued from living the rest of it's life in a vase. We actually have 3 betta's. All of them are male but the pink one is the calmest. The other two boys are really aggressive. I had my crowntail betta in the big aquarium to begin with but he kept trying to fight with the algae eater. So anyway, my aquarium now has 4 fancy guppies, 2 balloon mollies, 1 swordtail, 1 albino tiger barb, 2 fancy goldfish, 4 feeder goldfish, 1 black moor and 1 shubunkin. That's quite a mix. I know alot of people would never keep goldfish with these other fish but I've had fish for 9 years now and I never had a problem with it. Plus all the goldfish will be going into their own tank as they grow larger. I just love goldfish. I'll have to post pictures but I have this fancy tail goldfish which I found in the feeder tank and it's gorgeous and it's the size of a guppy, it's so small. I am seeing some aggression with my algae eater. I'm keeping my eye on him, if he keeps it up he will be living by himself in a smaller tank. He's definitely the boss of the tank. I'll admit I knew nothing about Tiger Barb's when I bought mine. But I've been reading up on them and I have to get 4 more so I don't have any aggression issues. I think once I get 4 more tiger barb's and more live plants then my aquarium will be complete. I also need to peel the blue paint off the back and paint it black. I paint my aquarium because it's easier and I think that black background makes everything look better.
I recently went to Petsmart and I realized that I want to save all the betta's. I just want to buy them and get them a proper sized tanks. I feel so bad they are living in these little bowls. They aren't meant for it and most of them look so miserable.
Only a few more days until the Night of Hecate. I feel the need to make a list of things I need to get done or else they won't get done. I tend to forget alot lately.
* Put away clothes
* Organize the book shelves
* Organize the kitchen cabinets (I got half of this done)
* Clean the bathrooms
* Clean my daughters room
* Sweep/Mop/Vaccum all the floors
* Organize the DVD shelf (I'm very OCD over how my DVD's are arranged)
* Get rid of anything that is not being used and won't be used
* Get the laundry caught up (I hate this job but it needs to be done to make my bathroom look alot better)
I think I got it all. It doesn't seem like much but it will be alot more work than it looks.
Suzie posted a great entry on various ways to cleanse your home. I now have so many ideas on what to do.
There is a 5 year old little boy that is in the last stages of his disease. His family is celebrating early this year as he is not expected to live for long. He loves Christmas cards, so that is what his mother is asking for. Here is the news story link.

Downy & Twittermoms are teaming up and offering a sweepstakes. In order to win you must answer the following questions : "If you could define yourself with a scent, what scent would represent you and why?"
Without a doubt I would have to say Lavender. Now Lavender is my favorite scent (aside from Vanilla) so maybe that's why I picked it but I like to think I chose it because lavender is calming and relaxing. That's how I see myself most of the time.
