I'm still in a bad mood.

I received a call yesterday from an attorney's office. Well, it was just a voice mail message on my machine when I came in. I don't remember if I spoke about this yesterday or not. Anyway, they were looking for my ex, but WHY would they call HERE? I, at first, was thinking it was just an error. But the more I think about it, I wonder if it's not just an attorney's ploy to make me nervous.

And, if that's the case, so far it's working.

My nerves are all frazzled and I have been close to tears since that time.

The good news from yesterday is that I went down to my insurance agent's office to sign some papers and I am going to save even more than I was originally told. So, that will help out with the ol' bills each month.

After work, I was going to go tanning, but I forgot my MP3 player and there is NO way I was going to tan without that!! I can't stand just laying there without my tunes, so I figured I would go today.

I did some cleaning, finished the afghan I made for Dave, brought it over along with the toner I bought for him. I put in a new shower head and WHAT A DIFFERENCE that made. I felt like jumping in the shower immediately since it was so nice!!!

It was a free shower head that Dave had gotten from the gas company. They just mailed it to him with a survey, asking his opinion. I didn't get one. And Dave didn't need a new one, so he gave me that one. I finally got around to installing it and it's great. I love it!! I guess I will have to fill out the survey and tell them what I think. The best part? I have a sandpoint well and when the pump is running, the water pressure goes way down in the house, but this new head? No difference at all. No water going down to a trickle in the shower. I had steady pressure for the first time since I lived in this house. Love it. Love it. Love it!!!

Can I tell you more about how much I love it? No. Probably not.

I cleaned the litter box, took care of the dishes, emptied some food in my fridge that was probably just a little LESS than fresh. hee hee hee

I also worked on my next project, which is a Swedish Weaving blanket that I am hoping to sell online. I really like to make Swedish Weaving blankets but really don't need anymore in my house!!! Nor does anyone else want any. I think I have given one to just about everyone I know!! So, I will make one and sell it. I hope.

I watched Dirty Jobs, and two episodes of House, at least one of my soap opera. Did some laundry. Scrubbed out my shower. Vacuumed some floors.

Wow, I did a LOT before Dave came home at 7:00.

He called and said he was having a bonfire. I was less than thrilled about it, since I was still crabby and full of concerns and not in the mood for socializing.

But I went over. April and Doug were there and we chatted for a bit. April left after a couple of hours and Dave went inside for some reason or other for a few minutes. Doug was grilling me about what was bothering me since I was so quiet. I didn't want to talk about it since I was still so close to teetering over the edge and just bawling. So, I told him nothing and then he started asking if I was mad at Dave. And was I mad at HIM. And was it Jim that was bugging me. Etc, etc, etc. Like I said, he was bringing me close to tears so once Dave came back out, I just said goodnight and went home to bed. Dave was not too happy that I was leaving, but I was really not in the mood to be there to begin with.

I had a hard time falling asleep because I was all wound up, but I finally fell asleep and slept pretty good once I got there. Dave texted me this morning to come over for coffee. I went over and we talked for a bit. Mostly about nothing too exciting.

We were asked by April if we wanted to go to the high school football game tonight and I really don't feel like it. It's gonna be cold again, although granted, probably not quite as cold as last Friday night when we got all that snow.

But, still. It just does not sound appealing. Besides, it's hard to actually see the game since the football players who are NOT playing are standing along the sidelines and blocking our view. So, whatever. Although I thought maybe I WOULD go and then head over to karaoke afterwards. I think I might need a night out with some friendly people.

April and I talked about the costume party we are all invited to at the Mills'. The theme is Arabian Nights and ALL the costumes for the women are harem girls. That's all that's out there. And I am not happy about that at all. April looked up some costumes while we were around the fire and she felt the same way I do. The costumes are all slutty and show WAY too much skin and she is not too excited about them, either. I told her that I found a website for a belly dancing place that has some halters that actually cover the midriff and I said I would send it to her. I do NOT want to show off my belly to a whole bunch of people. I am just not comfortable with that. I also told her that we should go as a camel. I'll be the front and she can be the back. She thought that was funny. Anyway, so I was glad that April felt the same way I do about it and I feel a little more validated. Not like when I told Dave about my concerns and he just blew them off. Whatever. He's a guy and just doesn't understand the issue here.

Whatever.

So, today I think I will order the costume and get that out of the way.

I have decided to TRY again to lose some of my belly. My problem is trying to find the TIME to actually do the work out. I am cutting out as much fat out of my diet as I can and see how that works for me, too. I have three reasons for doing that, 1.) the party I just mentioned, 2.) the vacation to Mexico in December, and, probably the BEST reason, 3.) for MYSELF. I will feel better and my clothes will fit better.

So, that's where I am. And those are my concerns of the day.

And I am really tired of feeling like shit, so I would like to just forget all this crap and get things done.
