Toto too?

The reasoning for my title is.. well, i asked the old man to give me the first movie quote that came to mind, and that's what he came up with. he followed with, "anyone who doesn't know that quote doesn't deserve to watch movies!" so, i hope anyone who reads knows what movie that is from. i'll give you a hint.. its hard to do a kevin bacon challenge with that movie.. although, it is possible. so, where do i begin?

I've been sick for the past week with Adno Virus. it was quite the nasty one. i could honestly say.. well, i think i would've rather been dead. i had the virus along with bronchitis, pink eye, which the pink eye then developed into ear infection, and now from reading on webmd.com that i might have a sinus infection. i dont know where the crap i got this so called virus from.. but, my gosh, not fun! i missed work for a week and a half. unfortunately all to show from it was a crap load of sleep. i did however attend a LBH meeting on thursday (my first day out) then i attended the Pops and the Cedar Sibs night on saturday. Oh yes, i forgot.. i did attend a wedding reception on friday night with the 'rents. i have yet to enjoy a day to the fullest. i currently cant hear out of my right ear and i have so much pressure pushing on the whole right side of my head and face area.. it gives me quite the headache and toothache and well.. just aches everywhere. so theres my life at the moment. work was interesting today. i worked 1030-7 today and i did fantastic until about 5. i suddenly had the desire to vomit and i ended up just saying i needed to go to the bathroom. so a little TMI for you.. i did go to the bathroom to the fullest. not my most favorite part of being ill. anyways, that didnt help any by the time i went back to work. by 6 i had called a CSM over and i told her i didnt know how much more i could handle. she kindly agreed to let me chill for about 15 minutes and just take a breather. it was either that or i go home. i would've had to get managements approval to go home though, had i not just gotten them to sign a paper agreeing to pay me the whole time i was gone, i would've. but i stuck it out and i felt fine after the breather. anyways, to expand on the whole getting them to sign a paper dealio.. i was scared to death about missing that much work, due to thinking they were going to fire me and also the lack of money. i asked one of the csm's if i could get the sick pay i had and put it towards the time i was gone.. she thought yes. so i take a stroll into the HR office and i find out how much sick pay i had exactly.. 36.65 hours on sick pay.. yes, i believe i used all of it, which it covered the whole week, everything i missed. i thank the sweet heavens above for not using sick pay before.. answer to the prayers, i got a job still AND i still got paid. Fantastic.

besides that part of life being good.. i dont know what else to do in life. i think i'm going to go to school for Early Child Development in the fall. I dont know where i'm gonna go, i dont know where i'm gonna be, but thats the plan i believe. i was debating whether to do that or graphic design.. i think i knew what would be better for me.. however, if there is the opportunity to do the whole graphic design business in there, i will.. but for right now, i feel more strongly for the kid department.

i know.. you're wondering about the love life. NO. No love life here.. yet. no prospects.. well actually possibly 1. i'm supposed to go on a date with this kid in my ward.. long story short, its a blind date but i know who he is and he knows who i am and dani knows his friends wife. SO its going to be a triple. i dont know how i feel about that. they are all good looking people and i usually tend to shy off when i feel like i dont fit in. we will see how this will go. plus i'll probably be more comfortable talking to dave, he'll be talking to chris (his friend) and dani will probably be talking to chaunie.. (if thats how you spell it. i know its a weird way but i'm now sure how weird) anyways, there you are on my love life. i think jim gaffigan says it best, "when you are single, all you see are couples, and when you are a couple, all you see are hookers." i dont know about the last part, but the first part sure says a lot.. and its legit. but, patience is what it takes. i've learned a lot of patience lately too.

so i'm off to SLC this weekend to go to shey's 5th birthday party. havent missed one yet. apparently she's been telling people that i'm getting her a pillow pet. how the crap does she know?! hope she doesnt mind its not the unicorn and not the real deal. laura found a knockoff brand and all they had were ladybugs or something. you guessed it! thats what she's getting. i'll try to find her a card or something with a unicorn on there to spice things up. anyways, the medicine that makes me sleep is calling my name.

It's my party and I'll cry if i want to!

I FORGOT!! I made this video of my mother yesterday. It was my brother Jim's birthday. It's amazing what kind of stuff I can convince my mother to do.

Nobody sees more butts than you Uncle Tony!

Alright, first week of the HCG diet is done. 2 more weeks to go. Oh, but its not over after the 3 weeks. Got another 3 weeks after that. But at least i get 1000 calories instead of just 500. Anyways, 7 lbs down and 13 to go to get to the goal. After that its another 10 but i'll settle for 5. I am dedicated this round. Some might say that i don't need to lose any but i have personal reasonings for doing so and i would just feel better if i do it. I'm doing it for myself. I decided i needed to feel good about myself. I tend to compare myself to others and i'm sick of being/feeling like i'm the fat one. i know i'm not but that's how i feel sometimes. On this diet you're not allowed to eat any sugar at all. So being that the case i have turned to splenda. that crap is nasty and i can definitely tell when things are made with it. But funny story, i made dinner for some of my friends the other night and the recipe called for sugar. well without their knowledge i substituted the sugar with splenda. i could taste it, but the rest of the group all loved it and had no idea of the switch. The meal was good though. PF Changs chicken lettuce wraps. good stuff. I need to start figuring out more new recipes. I'm getting pretty sick of just eating steak and oranges for every meal. This morning i put a pork roast in the crockpot. that should last me a few days. i wanted to do something that would be an easy heat up so i didnt have to cook anything. should be done in an hour!
