Well it felt really great to sleep today. I did have some extra people thrown onto my route courtesy of dispatch. It helps to have certain people in your corner. Did pick up another shift tomorrow; so I will be working from 6:25am-12:06pm and then 12:30-6pm (approx.) Definitly hit OT this week too. Not much; but every bit helps.

Well the skies have opened up and the bad weather is upon us. (Gee thanks). Tomorrow we may even see flakes. Blech. Wow that sky is greyish black...Nothing good will come from this.

Found some cool looking cereal from Nature's Path; but I am going to have to order it online. I am swimming in cereal right now from what I bought and what my mother got me when I was home.

Things are starting to look up again and it is a relief. I am going to seize the month of December to turn things around as best I can before the New Year.

Cryssie: I have no clue where in Maine I was. We were visiting my uncle and his wife somewhere. Approx a 20 min drive from LL Bean (Love that place!!). He used to live in Bath, Caribou, and I think Brunswick. I want to go to Canada sometime; but I need a new passport. My parents want to take me to Montreal next summer to the underground stores.

Incognito: I love veggies (Caesar Salad in particular, cucumbers, squash and broccoli).

Nicky: Didnt you get a car a while back? I thought I remembered reading that. No biggie about missing chat; catch ya next week!

SPM: WOW..what a compliment. Thanks! Carol mentioned seeing the show and I went link hunting; so she deserves credit too. Marty is YUMMY! I was in shock over Poppy. Where did all her weight go? About saving your life? You forgot the most important person who saved your life...YOU DID. All the information, dieticians, personal trainers etc cant do squat if you dont follow through with all of it. So pat yourself on the back and accept credit where credit is due. Great news about Grant!!! I got some email forwards that I have to pass on so expect them this weekend. I gotta lotta catching up to do on all fronts.

You are right Carrie...I did forget to mention myself! I definitely give myself credit...If it weren't for me changing I would be where I was in February. THANKS!

Another day; another double shift. I think I am really starting to burn out both mentally and physically. I am really tired and just need a break from everything right now. My timing stinks though in more ways than one...Been up since 3am doing laundry and now I just want to go back to bed. Passed out right after, "Grey's Anatomy." Hopefully today will be easy; no drama, a bus and van with working radios, and good road conditions. I just want it to be 6pm already.

I will be back to spam-bust sometime tonight. Hopefully the spammers will take a break too (at least until I can get back here). Time to hit the shower...

So has gym reception guy asked you on a date yet? If not I guess he's just shy. I know you're probably not looking for romance but at least it'd be a chance to go out and have some fun

I have got to lay off the double shifts..Today began great and ended with another incident report. People are going to be talking about this one for a while. Luckily another driver also had a doozy report to write. Maybe his story will be talked about more.

Soo tired...

Phil:Thanks for the much needed laugh. That guy ask ME out?? He hardly speaks more than a few words to me. And with the way I look now??? Oooooooooooohhhh that is funny!

My stupid alarm didnt go off this morning...Was supposed to be at work at 6:45am and I woke up at 6:25am. I HATE going to work without having showered; or at least taken a bath. But I made it 5 mins early. Had one pick up and then a 3 hour layover. Then the last 3 pick ups were smooshed together. So I went to the bank and then the dispatcher and I looked at uglychristmaslights.com Some real doozys in there. Now I am going to take an oatmeal bath since I am itching again and then I am going to pass out for a while. No idea why I am breaking out again. All my bills are paid except cable. Free until 6:25am Monday. All this time; what am I going to do with myself???

I am about 3 hours from Calalis.. actually my husband's cousins live just down in St.Stephens so we pop across the border when ever we go down to see them... their a hoot.. OHH You are gonna LOVE the shops in Montreal .. I love going shopping there haven't in a few years well actually since having my oldest.. Things that happen when you become a Mommy.. .. shopping gets pushed to the back burner ... Used to burn alot of calories walking the amll that way beleive me especially in College.. If your in Montreal deffinately take the time to not only shop but go to Old Montreal.. If you like Older buildings and stuff YOU will love it.. plus its a driving adventure..

Today I got on the scale and was very unhappy (163.6). But with the way that things have been going I really shouldnt have been surprised. So I signed up (finally) with Weigh-ins. I really need to get off my fat ass and do something before I weigh 214 again. So today I am going to the grocery store and starting over again. If Eric does decide that he wants to see me (and my new car) I dont want him seeing me like this. I dont want my father seeing my weight up again either when he comes in 2 weeks. I need to start doing things FOR myself and not TO myself. I was looking so damn good for a while there and as usual I had to go and mess it up because of stupid stuff like my emotional state. I really know how to ruin everything good in my life (weight, relationships etc.) but I dont know how to fix anything. But things are slowly starting to go my way again..New car coming soon, looking into college again, bills paid on time this month, and things seem to be slowly getting better between Eric and I. Why mess that up again??

I need to put myself first for once and let everything else just happen when it happens.

That's a great attitude Carrie -- just let things happen as they happen. You may be very surprised how things work out, all on their own!
New car -- how exciting!
Thanks for all you do here! I'm glad you signed up at weigh-ins. I'm sure there will be another challenge soon, for you to join if you were too late for the last one.

Thanks Carol.

Actually I am not going to participate in any online challenges per se. I am just going to create my own challenge called; "Carrie vs Her Fat Demons." The site wouldnt let me set up anything so I am just going to post my personal war here in my journal. But having that additional page is kinda fun. (But very messy to set up.)

Calalis? Never heard of it. Any kind of shopping I like. I am also a compulsive shopper too. But I would give it up in a second to become a mommy. Dont sell yourself short in that area. I do like looking at buildings, houses etc so that sounds like fun. Canadians cant drive just like Mass-holes, and Ohioans. I wont drive in Canada; but I will be sure to bring my crash helmet just in case.

Procrastinating on going to the store because it looks cold out. Heat keeps kicking on and that is never a good sign. I am seeing tiny dollar signs flying out the windows...I did take a hot shower (not good for hives) but I dont care. It felt realllly great.

Not much else to report at this moment. I am sure I will be back later after I am done blowing money and freezing my keister off.
