Hi again,
Well I haven't been on here much this week and there was a few things I had wanted to blog about but instead I will just try to keep it short and share about a few different things.
First off, on the weekend I tried an A&W chicken grill deluxe I think it is called and I thought it would be good to blog about food too. I have never tried this burger before and I had a coupon so I thought hey why not. It was very good! It is on a whole wheat bun I believe and there is quite a big chunk of chicken that has the same seasoning as the Chubby Chicken which is tasty. Also it had light ranch sauce which was a good choice and tomato. All in all it was quite good!
On Wednesday we went to Edmonton and visited my nephew who is so adorable and sweet and strong! He is 3months old and already sitting completely on his own and will try to stand on your lap! Yesterday apparently he turned from his back to his side on his own also. I think he will be walking in no time! lol I feel bad for my sister already. lol Also we had lunch at my sister's and I asked for crackers for the soup and they were rancid but I can't smell so I put them in the soup and started eating... oh it was bad! Not my sister's fault-they were not very old. But some days I wish I had a sense of smell that I could tell if crackers are rancid or milk is sour... yeah I have had sour milk a few times too. Not fun.
I found out that you should never close the car door before making sure that your mp3 earphones are out of the way. lol They didn't fare so well against the car door. Luckily we have an extra pair so I lucked out. Ooops.
I went in yesterday for stuff that I needed to get and I managed to get almost free Tylenol! The tylenol Muscles Aches and body pain was on sale for 6.99 and I had 3 different 2.00 off coupons and because London Drugs allows stacking-I was able to get 6.00 off! so .99 for Tylenol that is normally about 10.00 I think is not bad! lol Who says you can't get good deals with coupons? Several people do actually but they don't know how to use them properly. Sorry but it is true. If you feel coupons do not save money and they are not worth your time-you have not figured out how to use them properly. I regularely get good deals on stuff so it isn't a fluke. I am just saying. I get rather annoyed when people try to tell me that coupons are bad and a waste of time and don't save money.
The last thing about this week is something I know very well but love! Warm weather happened this week! Double digit temps on Monday!!! I think the first double digit temps in quite awhile here. To sit in that warm sun was just amazing!! Then the temps tanked and we had snow on Thursday. lol Welcome to March! The weather in March (and even April) is such a rollercoaster! You can't put away your winter jacket but you have to dig out your spring jacket also so you can switch back and forth-sometimes even in the same day. But I love it! It means warmer weather is coming!
Ok that is the jyst of this week. It wasn't a busy week I suppose. My back has kept me down so much this week that I have not been able to do much. Keeps me out of trouble too I suppose. lol

Pulling back a bit
Hi again,
The past few days I have been thinking about how much I share on here and whether it is too much or not. I have been trying to be open and trying to share experiences but I am wondering if I have been too open. For most of my life I have preferred to keep quiet about my personal stuff even to the point that I was afraid to ask for a prayer request when I was sick because I would have to share that I was sick and then the whole church would have known. I am not talking the flu though-I am talking about being sick that I made trips to the ER type sick. Anyways I thought I needed to change and be more open but I think I went from one extreme to the other and I have been too open. I have been feeling pretty exposed almost and I hate that feeling. One time I had opened up to someone and I trusted them and then I felt exposed and ended up wanting to run away and hide and move away to some remote island even though it was probably less than I have shared on here. I felt embarrassed and like the person could see right through me and even though that person may not have had problems with it-I did. I wanted to go back and erase all the moments where I had shared and I wanted to take it all back. I was so uncomfortable. I want to be more open and be more normal but I don't know if I know the acceptable limit is and where it becomes too much. I am learning though. I am not sure if I have shared too much here or not and if people will be happy that I am pulling back a bit but I am. lol I have even thought about erasing certain posts but I will leave them for now. I actually feel a little clueless right now on what should and should not be shared. I suppose that is what I get for keeping so much to myself for so long. Well I need to go to bed now! I am exhausted. Thanks for reading.

Hello again
Hi again,
Wow it's been a rough few days! Since last Thursday I have been having more pain than usual in my back which has managed to keep me down a fair bit which in turn has kept me off of here mostly. I am not sure what is going on exactly but I have luckily been able to manage the pain on just extra strength Tylenol. I hate taking so much tylenol but some days it is all I can do to keep going. Thankfully I have alot of coupons for Tylenol and London Drugs that I can get tylenol practically free! lol Always a positve in everything right? LOL I did manage groceries today and some much needed shopping on Saturday though which was great! I paid for Saturday's trip yesterday and spent alot more time down but I got through almost an entire book and also started on the 3rd book of Twilight! If there is one thing I try to do-it is try to make the most of what ever situation I am in. Sometimes it is tough but I think I manage ok. I just can't stop living because of pain. I love to read and when I get stuck in bed it is almost nice because then I have an excuse to stay in one spot and read. lol There are no other places to be because I can't be so there are no distractions either. Just me and a great book! I have a few things I would love to blog about from the last few days but it will have to wait till my back improves a bit more that I can sit at the computer more. Thanks for reading!!!

What a Day!!!
Hi again,
Well I was wondering why I woke up so early this morning-maybe it was to help me fit in all I did today? lol All the rearranging and more rearranging and then nope doesn't work so moved stuff again... then trying to figure out how to get stuff where it had to go and what to move first... lol it has certainly been a process! all in a day's work I suppose? lol I can post pics maybe still. Stuff is still so chaotic that it will take more time still but I have lots of that. lol Oddly I seem to fill up any free time I have with stuff and I can still find more that I want to do but have no time for!! lol I am in the process of trying to come up with something that I can make money on that I can start to get my independance back and have some income and getting stuff done in my room is important so I have a good space to figure that out and do what ever I decide to do. I definitely have my own desk space now to work which will make such a difference in helping me to find a way to make some money. I used to have my own business way back before I was forced to quit working and I know that it is important to have proper space and organization to accomplish everything. I was baking Natural dog biscuits before it was a popular thing and before there was really anything natural/organic for pets in the average store. It was very successful and I just sold at the farmer's market each week so I didn't have a building to pay rent on and kept costs low. Anyways when my back and a whole lot of other issues got worse, I was forced to give up my business and the full time job I was working also. I was attempting to "get ahead" despite my physical problems. I laugh now thinking back to 2004 which is the year I was the busiest-I had absolutely no life and I never watched tv and I was constantly working. I litterally had like 16hr days where I put in my 8hrs at my job and then 8hrs with my business. Then throw in back problems and some other physical stuff and I burned out big time. I felt as if I was juggling all these balls and I could not let one drop or absolutely everything would crash around me. Then one day it finally did. I vowed to myself after that happened that I would never get myself that busy again that I would go through that all over again. I think part of me was trying to get ahead to prove to myself or someone that I could be somebody and to me somebody looked like someone who was successful and I was prepared to kill myself trying I guess. Though I don't think I set out thinking I am going to do this even if it kills me... Anyways, I did learn a lesson then and I hopefully will never forget it. I have also learned that living and family is way more important and I need to balance work and family. I am itching to get working so bad though. lol just to be able to support myself again and have that independance back. Well that said, I am on my way to getting back into making money by getting myself set up. Just to be able to make money that I can look at and know that I earned it and be able to support myself. Anyways I should go. I am exhausted! I think through the past 5yrs I have actually learned better how to pace myself that I know when to stop and rest. My body is not the same as some other people's and I do have limitations and denying that is only going to make things worse. As much as I push my body to work the way I want it to-I can't make it do things that it just can not do. I think everyone knows that! lol Somedays I wish I could make it through an entire day or even 8hrs with out resting but I can't so I just have to adjust and move on. Sorry, I have just been thinking alot about all of this lately as I venture towards making money again. Thanks for reading.

Organized Mess?? lol
Hi again,
Well I am continuing to organize myself in my new room and it is challenging. For anyone wondering-I still have to live at home because of physical challenges and my old room was falling apart along with like half the house so my parents are doing a major reno and I am in my new room now. I am enjoying my new room-no drafts or mice running along the floor. lol Yep we had a mouse problem. My dad is amazing-he is doing all the work himself. He can build anything and does and he is smart too. Anyways back to my organized mess. lol I am supposed to get a different desk still and a craft table and so I have had to move stuff around first to get the table in here and so stuff is everywhere! But it is organized in piles despite the cat trying to sabotage my efforts! lol But now I am supposed to get my desk too... This will be fun. Anyways my room is absolutely turned upside down but the funny thing is I know where everything is still. lol So it may sound odd to have an organized mess but apparently I have it down pat. I just hate clutter and so I am ready to pull out my hair but that is another story entirely. lol Wish me luck that I keep my sanity during this time. LOL
