The night before Valentines Day, yesterday, I stayed up till after 1 am again. I also was starving, because I just didn’t have anything to eat. Sure, we have food, but nothing that appealed to me. At all. So, then, yesterday morning I thought I would be super hungry. We’re out of the good, healthy cereal and we’re not going grocery shopping, for a while. Grrrr. But I wasn’t hungry. At all. When we got downstairs, My mom left a dish of Dove Chocolates. *I will make a funny post about that, by the way. I opted for my giving you all valentines, instead of doing my funny chocolate wrapper post, but I’ll still do it. *. Anyway, I sat there and ate them, with my daughter. SO STINKING GOOD. I needed chocolate.  Lunch time rolled around, wasn’t hungry. 3 pm rolls around, still not hungry. Dinner time rolls around, I haven’t eaten anything but some CHOCOLATE, all day. Then I started shaking and getting really irritable, which was my sign that I needed to eat something, haha. So, we had dinner. I had just a small portion of dinner. It was okay. Not stellar, just okay. Then when the hubster got home, we opened up the sparking juice (blubbly, according to Bri) and ONE GLASS about DID ME IN. I was so stuffed… OFF OF A DRINK! what the?

My body is NUTS. I tell you!  It’s my hormones, I know it. My crazy hormones. It has to be. I can time this stuff according to my lovely “cycle”, even though said cycle is screwy anyway. So, I guess, I can’t really time it, it just makes logical sense, but it still confuses me.

Okay, so xanga challenges. Yay. Day 2 was the meaning behind the xanga name. Megabyyte is my nickname. Some of you already knew that. I said it in my vlog. So, if you didn’t know, that’s it. I like this xanga name 10x better than my old ones. So much more me! hehe  And, thanks, Kim for giving me a new nickname. MEGGLES. I’ve also been called Magellan. So, give me a unique nickname and I’ll be your friend forever! haha. But Megabyyte was what I chose for my username. *I’m glad my mom and dad chose Megan, over Sarah. Megan fits me, me thinks*

Day 3, today, is to take a picture of something you ate today. So here is something I forced down into my tummy.  *I BAKED COOKIES! And I had a few. One too many, actually, and now my tummy hurts. *curls into a ball**

 

Anyone want me to send them one? I’ll fed ex one to you *hope the delivery driver doesn’t throw it over your gate and make it crumble to peices*.  And, yeah, it may not be the warm, fresh out of the oven cookie it once was. It may be a little stale, but it’s still a choc. chip cookie, so you can’t really go wrong, am I right?

Hope everyone is having a good day!

So, sue me for being a sap and wanting to make you all feel happy and special, today. I said today, on Dougs page, that I have room in my heart for plenty of friend valentines and I love celebrating friendship on this day, too. Make the day more fun. So, I’ve never done this before, but I thought I’d give you all a valentine. Awwww… I know. *lol* And I don’t care if this is a stupid or silly idea. I’m a stupid and silly person, so get used to that.

@mytwocentss

Cause you’re my best friend on here and all! Thanks for all the xanga chats.

@Againstthewind1

I celebrate all sorts of Love on Valentines Day. Not just the romantic kind. So, here’s to you my friends, who I love!  *I saw someone else just say this, I’m not copying, haha, but I was really going to say this anyway, Wanna be my valentine ?*

Here ya go

Here’s some chocolate, for you. You don’t even have to share with me!

A hug for you, too!

*Just cause I thought it was cute. Don’t worry, I won’t kiss you, haha*

Love you, guys. Have a good V day.

Cute snow suit, right? first time she’s worn it AND IT’S ALREADY TOO SMALL. LOL.

finally, some snow to play in!

Her snow angel.

My snow angel. THAT WAS FUN!

Getting her to stay still for this picture took a complete miracle! lol

Okay, so I know this one is kinda stupid. I’m thinking of making it my facebook profile picture. It’s endearing. Actually, I was trying to get a picture of my nub of a pony tail, but I figured, no one cares! NO one cares about this one, either but I’m a rebel!  My pony tail was just too pathetic to show, anyway. I want my long hair back. No one cares, I’m just rambling, moving on…

In the mood for Valentines Day! hehe. Oh, and they are SUPER, STINKING COMFY.

Okay, that’s all for now!

*So, I got this idea from Redbook Magazine. I haven’t even read the whole article, but I thought I’d answer these questions with my own spin on it! Enjoy *

1. Why so many shoes?

For the record, I’d like to state that not ALL girls are shoe obsessed. I have 1 pair of dress shoes, for dressy occasions, and 1 pair of sneakers for EVERYTHING else, haha. Shoe shopping is a pain in the arse, for me. I have wide feet. It’s not like I can walk into Payless and buy whatever I want.  So, we’re not all crazy for shoes!

2. Why chat about “our” sex life, with your friends?

hahaha. Um, I don’t know. I’ve had a few of those convo’s, but it was all just, you know, advice? haha.  I don’t get into nitty gritty detail, but I’ve certainly heard it from people like, say, my sister. Yeah, it’s a little awkward. Therefore, I really don’t know why we do that. lol

3. Vampires, Really?

Even though I do like the show True Blood (not that we watch it anymore, thanks to not having HBO ), I really don’t find vampires that appealing. I never even got into Twilight, for crying out loud. Though, it does look a little fascinating, so I may have too!  I dont’ know, the idea of someone chomping down on my neck and sucking my blood, doesn’t sound so hot. Although, that could change… haha. Kidding.

4. “Do you think we don’t know it’s a padded bra?”

Look, padded bra’s are great for hiding headlights. Know what I’m saying? That’s really one of the greatest reasons, in my opinion, for them. That said, not all of us, errr, wear one. I don’t. Not anymore, haha.

5. “How can a woman hold it together for everyone else, but have such a short fuse with her husband?”

*Whistles and twiddles thumbs”. I don’t know. Maybe it’s cause we just live with you and see you all the time and you drive us crazy, so we’re more likely to lay it on you, vs. trying to keep our cool with those who don’t see us all the time/live with us? I have no clue. *My answer is no where near as good as the answer in the magazine, oh well*

6. “Why do you buy uber healthy food that you’re not going to eat?”

Oh, I’ve so done this. I’m so bad with this. *looks at the bag of unopened flax seed*. Hey, intentions mean something. we’ll get around to it one day!

7. “Size does matter doesn’t it?”

*sigh*, NO IT DOESN’T. Now, I don’t have much experience with this, sorry for the TMI to follow this, but this is my opinion…

Penis in Vagina = IT FEELS GOOD, REGARDLESS! Dude, it can be a flipping finger (and we all know fingers are much smaller than a penis) and it STILL feels good. Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter. Seriously.

Did I just really say that?

8. “Why is it so hard to talk women into having sex?”

 For the LIFE OF ME, I have NO CLUE! Sex is awesome, sex is fun and, FOR SOME OF US, we’re down for it whenever. I never have to be talked into having sex, I’m ready all the time. I don’t understand that, sorry. I’m with you on that. I’ve been told that I’m like a man, in that regard.  

9. “Why won’t you admit that The Notebook is a lousy movie?”.

Maybe cause it’s not? I’ve never even seen the darn thing, but it looks good. Oh, c’mon, embrace your romantic side, sometimes! Even I prefer comedies to romance, but, really!

10. “Why do women stress about so many things, from writing every single thank you note to bringing the perfect cupcakes to a kids birthday party at school? Do you think  here’s a report card waiting for you in heaven?”

*I had to type that whole question out, because it made me laugh!*

Ahahahaha. I like the answer that Ali Wentworth gave. Especially the part about us feeling the pressure to be the superior gender, so I’ll leave it at that!

*~*~*~*~

And to make my life simple, today, I’m starting this xanga challenge for the next how many other days. This is Day 1 and Day 1 is post a picture of yourself. So, to save myself the trouble of Double posting (I mean, we wall know how I hate to make double/triple posts, in a days time), I’ll just add a picture here, now, that may fit with everything I just wrote. *silly pic, for silly post*

Have a splendid day, everyone!

 

No one really cares that you think that the girl standing over there looks like a toothpick and you want to offer her a cheeseburger.

Likewise, no one really cares that you think that fat girl needs to stay out of the McDonalds.

In fact, all I’m thinking is what an asshole you are for actually saying those things out loud! Just shut up and get over your bad self, cause no one wants to listen to it, ding dong!

Look, from a girls perspective, we deal with a lot of body confidence issues (Not that guys don’t, I’m not saying that). So, really, your comments are just hurtful.

I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum. I was the girl who other girls thought was anorexic and I’ve been over 200 lbs. NOT FUN. However, I much preferred to be on the smaller side. The difference was I WAS NEVER ANOREXIC so, even though their whining at me bothered me, they were concerned over nothing. When you’re fat, well, you can’t really hide the fact that it’s true. Now I’m just in the middle. I actually like being there!  I still have work to do, but dayum! People piss me off.

Interesting how when you see a skinny girl, you want to shove a cheeseburger in her mouth, but when you see a fat one, you want to take the “cheeseburger” out of her hands and be a bitch about it. Either way, you’re a douche bag and need to shut up.

Lets look at this picture, shall we?

 

received comments like this,

“who’s the toothpick? I will feed her”

“She’s too skinny”.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! LOL How is THAT too skinny, exactly? Cause I just don’t get it.

I just found it rude. Just shut up. Picking apart someone’s body ISN’T COOL!

If you know a girl who’s skinny and wants to lose a few lbs and eat healthier, don’t jump on her back, giving her crap about eating more and she’s fine the way she is. When you have another friend, who’s obese, who is struggling with her confidence, don’t belittle her and make her feel like crap. That effectively makes you A DOUCHEBAG. Just don’t go there. Be supportive and, if you just can’t, THEN KEEP YOUR DARN TRAP SHUT. DAMN! I say, focus on your own lack of decent health. hehe. Cause you probably need to do that, instead of focusing on what others should or shouldn’t be doing. They know more about their lives than you do and the comments HURT.

Just shut up. No one wants to hear it!

 

This is totally my theme song for life, haha. I just have to listen to this song on tough days, and it totally will give me the kick in the @$$ I need, haha.

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you’ve got the best of me
Think you’ve had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I’d come running back
Baby, you don’t know me, ’cause you’re dead wrong

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over ’cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you
You didn’t think that I’d come back
I’d come back swinging
You tried to break me, but you see

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over ’cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I’m not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I’m finally thinking ’bout me
You know in the end the day you left is just my beginning
In the end

-Kelly Clarkson, Stronger

*I know it’s about a broken relationship, haha, but, I don’t think of it that way. I just think of it as a kick butt song and it makes me feel strong. Rawr!  I make myself laugh. Actually, I can think of my dad, hehe. Yup! I’m stronger!*

There is NOTHING worse than seeing friends who are hurting.

The only thing I think about is how badly I want to just give them a giant hug, a listening ear and compassion. Plus, I’d love to just take the pain away, whether it be physical, mental, WHATEVER.

I love you guys. I mean it. I wish I could be more help to some of you.  Sometimes, I feel like a failure, because I don’t really know how to help or feeling like I’m doing a horrible job at being supportive, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you and want the best for you or wishing I could just take it all from you, so you don’t have to deal with it.

And I don’t know, maybe that’s not a good thing to say. But that’s how I feel and I’m not going to hide how I FEEL!

*GIANT BEAR HUGS TO ALL THOSE WHO NEED IT*

If anyone ever needs a listening ear, SERIOUSLY, I WILL LISTEN! I’m just a message away. Dead serious. I’ll listen to ANYONE. We don’t have to know each other all that well, or we could be friends for years. I’m here. I’m available. I’ll do what I can. I care. Just know that, okay?

I knew we were getting snow, today. It was snowing all last night. But, I thought it was going to be 1-2 inches. HAHAHA. NOPE!

So, I woke up in pain and, well, so did everyone else. So, who gets left to do it all? Of course, me. This is not a problem, actually. I’m strong. I can do it.  

Well, 1-2 inches my @$$.

Brianna lost my hat. That was fun. It’s cold.

Then I was out with all the men, and their snowblowers, bahaha! Me and my yellow shovel.  Thank GOD for Kevin doing the sidewalk, for me!

When I was in the back yard, doing that part of the driveway, I got around to the side of our truck and made quite a discovery. Our door was open. The door that I was supposed to close, after getting my daughter out, last night. *head desk*. I instantly thought, “I’m going to die, today”. Why, you ask? WE JUST BOUGHT A FRIGGIN NEW BATTERY! LOL. Oh geez. So, I finished up my shoveling with a few breaks. The approach was a pain in the @$$, so I tried to keep my cool, cause it was like, at least 5-6 inches of heavy snow and all these men are out with their snowblowers and I’ve had the whole, “Oh, I’ll do that for you”, so I didn’t want to act like I was having a hard time, but I was, ahaha. So, I took a break to go get a hat of some kind, because my stupid ear pieces for my mp3 player wouldn’t stay in my ears. Grrrr. So, I go back in to get a hat to keep them in, and to keep my ears warm, golly gee!

I go back out and realized I forgot my gloves.  But, that was okay. I only had the front to do and it didn’t seem sooooo bad. Yeah… right. I was too lazy to go back inside and get them. And I kept thinking, “So, how do I break the news that I just, potentially drained the life of our brand new battery?”. Oh, and lets not forget that snow that was in the car, too! lol. Oh geez. That was a sight. *shakes head in shame*

So when I got inside, I just went upstairs and covered my face in my hands and told him what happened. No yelling. No nothing. He just went downstairs, got the keys, and started the darn thing. Works. Phew. then I said, “I was just thinking you were going to kill me” to which he put his hands around my neck and pretended. ahaha. it was funny. Thanks. But, phew, phew, phew. That could have been really bad. That darn truck just got fixed. Thank you LORD.

And there’s something really nice about shoveling snow and listening to a song that goes,

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller…. What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter”. Ah, Love you Kelly Clarkson. hehe.

Now for some pain killers and I’ll be good!  *And some hot chocolate? Yeah. yeah that too!*

 

I mentioned in a pulse that I was going to make a Smash Book.

Don’t know what that is? Neither did I, until tonight.  See, we took a little shopping trip. We were only after some friggin doughnuts, but we ended up in Micheals AND Petco (Nothing like watching the darn ferrets to make me all crazy with envy, wanting one. Or the guinea pigs!). Anywho, we were in Micheals and there was this “Smash Book” there. I picked it up and looked at it and was curious. The pages were all different and weird. I thought it was just a “journal”, but not quite.

Go here if you want to read more about it

http://totallytutorials.blogspot.com/2012/02/tutorial-how-to-make-smash-book.html

I like THAT idea, because I’M SUPER CHEAP, and I refuse to spend $12.99 on a silly journal.  Although I’m sure you can spend more money in supplies making your own, I figure just do what you want. I’m going to. I’m probably just going to get a spiral note book. They have to have ones where you can decorate the covers? Who knows, I’ll look.

But if I really want to make it more fun, I’ll follow that chicks advice and do one like that.

It’s, basically, like a scrapbook. Or you can fill it with things that make you smile. Make it your own. I intend to fill it with things that make me smile. Cut out quotes that make me happy, make me feel inspired, etc. Bible verses, even. cut out pictures from magazines. Anything that catches my interest and stick it in my smash book.

I LOVE this idea. So glad I came across it!

So, as I do this, I’ll take pictures just to show you guys. Now the hunt begins to get all my materials. I do have some scrapbooking paper. Yay! This is going to be fun!
