LADY'S YEARLY EXAM - Hilarious!

So I went to the doctor for my yearly physical to day.

The nurse started with certain basics.

"How much do you weigh?" she asked.

"135," I said.

The nurse put me on the scale. ~ Turns out my weight is 180.

The nurse asked, "Your height?"

"5 foot 4," I said.

The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5' 2".

hmph...

She then took my blood pressure and told me that it is very high.

"Of course it's high!" I screamed, 'When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"

She put me on Prozac.

What a bitch.

Got the Beck book, i didn't realize it was out of print. Barnes & noble had it on the Bargin Book section, $5, whowho. I have my test done, and my online discussions done, now all I have left is a unit. So I am caught up for a day or 2. dinner tonight...sad but true...popcorn, just didn't feel like eating. I'll probably eat something later, laughing cow or something.

Hi Everyone,

I just got the Beck book at Barnes and Noble too. I'm glad I went there instead of getting it online. It was in the bargains here too. 5.98, so I bought a book light too. I'm going read. Well right now I'm listening to my beautiful daughter bitch about where I put my coat like she owns the joint.

Janet- you think someone really took it, that's horrible! Too bad you don't have a self destruct button for it.

Feeling much better. Off to Temecula/San Diego with Tracy and Jim for a couple of days. They fly out Tues. afternoon.

Happy to hear you are feeling better!!! That is great news.

Say howdee to Tracy for all of us... Enjoy your getaway. Oh I'd love to get to San Diego some day...

Today's activity: Walked Bridget, she heeled nicely YEAH!! Guess I'll just have to walk her alone until she's REALLY trained well.

TWIG and I and Bridget played outside on my backyard LUGE after the walk...OMGosh the snow is piled so high that the dogs have TRACED out runways all around the yard and from the bottom of the yard looking up.. it does look like a LUGE track LOL... they are so funny.

Then came inside and Vacuumed the whole upstairs, changed beds and washed all the floors!! So there, that's my exercise for today.. 1 1/2 hours of housecleaning... don't know how many cals that burned but it was GOOD for me.. and it looks so nice now.. oh yeah, scrubbed the 4 toilets too:thumbdown:

EDIT ITMINUTESCALOR IES BURNED Heavy Cleaning 90mins 554 Cals looked it up on Spark People.com

Good Morning (Late)

Been up since 5:45 - read the paper - got on the computer - cropped and printed various pictures - very time consuming - the kids got me this jewelry box for xmas that is a picture frame - so that's done and hung up - did some wash and that's about it. Getting ready to eat some green bean and read and watch t.v.

No Snow here - cloudy 69 degrees - I am still and pjs and not getting dressed - need to get nails done - took them off Thrusday - feels good without them but can't do some stuff and other stuff (typing) easier - but don't expect my spelling to change

Phyl glad you are feeling better - have fun..

here are some LUGE photographs and the Olympic PUPS doing their best times....

Candice, look at all those lovely trees!!! I wish any house I find that I could afford had wall to wall trees. I love to listen to the wind through them and they are so cooling in the summer. Looks like the puppies are having fun.

Cleaned house for 3 hours, doing laundry, now I am sitting here ready to take a nap!!!! Check in later, TTFN

Well I wish that I could say that I was feeling better...but I know that it takes time for the pills to take ahold. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. I found out some things that are going on at work (Can't go into it here due to confidentiality reasons) but I'm not sure that I can continue to work there. No children are being hurt...just paperwork stuff that isn't exactly ethical. I'm going to confront my boss tomorrow. I will talk with him and think about my opportunities. I will tell him that I will give him my answer about staying after spring break. It is really hard because I have worked so hard to get where I am. I'm not sure I could start over at a new school in a system that I don't believe in. However, I can't be without insurance and Lee still has one year of student teaching before he can get a teaching job, so I need to buy one more year. If I do resign I will eventually go back to school to become a pharmacist, but I can't just quit without a plan. I HAVE to have insurance and right now it is tough to walk away from the payment/benefits package that I have. However, at the same time, I don't want to work for someone that I don't trust.

However, on a good note, I have lost 5 pounds! I have done very well with food, even if my exercise hasn't been going so great. I am giving myself credit for eating healthy though. The meds are actually making me not want to eat. I'm a little nauseous, but I am going to force myself to eat now. I haven't eaten in about 5 hours and my tummy is actually starting to growl.

I will chat later.

Hi! In Temecula. Fish tacos for lunch. Decided to self medicate! Sinuses hurt so, Sudafed, Aleve, Keflex leftover from last UTI!

Hi Everyone,

Cloudy 65 degrees here, rain on the way.

Today, I cooked a pot of red beans, some boudin, a half a ham, and some corn bread. That should hold em for a couple of days. I'm washing clothes, I did the treadmill for 30m, I need to do some homework, and I need to go see my Mom.

Phyl- glad you're feeling better :redface:

Kari- sorry you're not :redface:

Be patient with the meds they take a while to kick in, but they will. You hubby will notice the change in you before you think you feel better...:redface:

I totally understand about working for someone when you question their ethics... that's a tough one... but think of your NEEDS first... you need a paycheck, insurance etc... you staying dosn't mean that you CONDONE his ethics, you are just doing a job... for your livlihood. right???

Good job on the food front , 5 lbs is great!! WHOO -hoo...keep it up.. are you reading the book???

Janet, sounds like Sundays is your catch up day for cleaning and laundry... good for you...

I cleaned like a fiend today, cause Petie was coming home:thumbup:

Save'd some calories so I could have some WINE and CHEESE.... then we watched the olympics....

night, night

Yeah Janet, I kind of crawled in a hole for the day. Cleaning, laundry, nap, etc. I just have a headache. I just want to quilt something....I hate not having my quilt room. Just looking at folded fabric, touching it,,,etc. is soothing. I do have some hand projects going, but my mind is just bubbling with ideas.

Started reading Beck's book. Haven't gotten very far, concentration sucks right now. Nothing tastes good, but that doesn't stop me from surfing.

Sometimes I just wonder what else can go one..ignore me, just whining. I know God only gives us what we can handle, but I hope He realizes I really can't handle any more. I really don't even want to go to work. But I need to save my days for when dad 'passes'.

I'll be heading back to work at the nursery in about 3 weeks. It will be odd to not be able to pick out plants for my own yard. There is no point spending money on flower beds and pots. Most of my beds have plenty of perenials, but I always like to add a few annuals, then there is the pots. But you can't really move planted pots, so unless things move soon, I won't have any pots this year, oh well.

Morning, I could go back to bed in a heart beat!! Oh well, it is midterm this week, so need to get tons of grading done. Also need to get lesson plans together if I have to leave in a hurry.

COLD this morning, brr. Clear night, we have been in the 40's lately and it has been wonderful. The cold is hard to deal with. But the first sight of spring is here, the cows are calving, so there a baby calves! Next will be a robin. This year has gone fast. I only have 14 weeks of school left. It sounds good when you say weeks. Not so good when you say that you have over 3 months of school.

Hoping to read more of Beck's book tonight. It just depends. I'm trying to finish DD#1's quilt so I can get it shipped. Her kitty died yesterday and she is ignoring phone calls, so I want to cheer her up.

Well best get going before I fall asleep, in my dreams!!...I don't think there is enough coffee in the world this morning. Check in tonight!!! TTFN
