ok so our turkey turned out perfect. i was worried about nothing. see post below.


now that thanksgiving has passed i now must turn my attention to christmas. i have no idea what to get people and i don't have a lot of money to spend. i usually make something like a scrapbook and handmade card sets, but i need new ideas. i just made a cigar box purse for my sisters birthday. it just didn't turn out quite how i wanted it to. i am nervous to try anything else because i want my gifts to be something people will like. well i still have some time to figure it out.

our week of peacefulness is coming to an end. my mil is coming home and it sounds like she didn't have a good vacation. just what we need an annoying depressed grumpy person coming in and interrupting our family dynamic. i guess i better go straighten up the house so we won't hear a lecture on how the house isn't perfect. Aagghh!

i would feel great if you would help me get my free ipod! :) it is easy. you just need a credit card. i have found the blockbuster offer is the easiest to fulful because you sign up for the free 2 week trial and then cancel your membership before anything is charged to your card. once you fulful the offer you can get your own ipod by getting other people to do the same.

thanx to all you have signed up so far. i love you guys.

i tend to have strange dreams. last night the theme seemed to be fears and facing them. one dream was about snakes and i mean large snakes everywhere. ew. i had to face them fear factor style (i watch to much tv). the next was about running from a krazy person that wants to kill me. i have to keep outsmarting him and it seemed like the person kept changing faces. the last was about dealing with my family. my family is not scary so i guess it was more about standing up for myself and not letting them intimidate me.

i just woke up just scared and shaking. i still feeling a little weird. just a nagging feeling you can't describe that just won't go away.

as i said strange.

i want a free ipod don't you want one to? please help me and help yourself! :)

honestly, how long does it take to defrost a friggin' turkey?!?

our turkey has been in cold water for 6 hours and i have changed the water every 30 minutes just as instructed and the turkey is still not completely defrosted.

i love thanksgiving! :)

desperate for a free ipod don't you want one?

today i ventured to the grocery store which was insane. i bought all the fixings for a great thanksgiving dinner for me and my hubby. i am looking forward to cooking my first thanksgiving dinner since we were married.

my family is not happy that we will not be joining them this year, but i just wanted to spend a nice quiet day with my hubby.

it's a saturday night and i am all alone for the first time in forever. my husband is at work and my mil is out of town. i love the quiet time to just relax. it is hard to relax when my mil is here. with the constant reminder that we are living in her house, well it gets old. i am glad that she is gone for the week. i will get to just have the time to be myself and not have her constantly checking up on me. it is like i am 12 and living back with my parents. living here can put a strain on my marriage. with me and my mil not getting along it puts my husband in the middle. that is really hard on him and makes for a very stressful household. i hope that we will be able to move out of state as planned next year.

i want to get as far away from all family as i can. don't get me wrong, i love my family and his to, but they are so demanding. trying to have our own lives is difficult with such overbearing parents. my parents are furious about the move and are going out of their way to point out all the negatives. guilt tripping is also high on their list.

i honestly don't feel like an adult. i am creeping closer and closer to 30, but it feels like i am still a child. all i want is my own house where my husband and i can actually be a married couple living our own lives.

one can dream.




**free ipods**

in my dream, last night, i was a married woman who had a crush on another man. this other man in my dream was my husband in real life. it wasn't until the end of my dream that i finally realized that the man i had a crush on was really my husband.

strange dream. does this just mean that i married my dream man?

i don't know, but i felt really great when i woke up! :)

current favorite websites:

my fave scrappin' website is two peas in a bucket. i have so much fun look through the gallerys and getting a ton of ideas for my card making.

a new site that i just discovered is blArds which is a very creative idea for exchanging blogger trading cards.

my favorite site is free ipods which is a site talked about on cnn that gives away free ipods. check it out!

i am really just a whiner. really that is my job title. so this is the best place for me. i can whine and no one talks back.

i just found out that my chronic illness is not going to ever go away. i am just supposed to live the rest of my life learning how to manage my pain. that is fine, but the hardest problem is finding a job that isn't going to be upset if i miss 1-2 days a week. i don't really see that happening. i have missed 4 days of work and i know my current job is going to be upset. they understand that i am sick, but they need someone to be there everyday. i am afraid of losing my job. i am afraid i am not going to be able to find another one.

i am nervous to go into work tomorrow. i have a note from my doctor excusing me for those days, but i don't think my job is going to care.

it sucks!
