I haven't posted in a while. I am going to try try try to be better! Mostly I just don't have a lot to say these days. So what's going on in my life?
1 - weight loss STALL, I am not working out like I should
2 - work = pain in the ass, I don't want to talk about it
3 - Ryan is turning 30 and might be taking it a little hard. I took it better than expected but I was making so many changes in my life that turning 30 kind of got lost in the shuffle.
4 - I don't know if it has anything to do with #3 (I suspect somewhat) but we would very much like to have a baby and hope to see that through sometime in the relatively near future. Us and everyone else! Who ISN'T pregnant these days? I wonder why, when the economy sucks, everyone wants babies? Maybe its because sex is a good form of entertainment when you can't afford the movies? And yes, I am a cynic. Hadn't you noticed that by now?
5 - I've decided I am a one to three "good friend" type of person. I don't really do "acquaintances" well and I am so picky about the QUALITY of my friendships and friends that I am just going to have to limit it or get disappointed. Unfortunately I am someone who often just expects too much out of people, and I am thus constantly disappointed. Its my fault, I know this, but that's the way it is. I don't think this quality about me is going to change anytime soon. I married someone who is the same way. We are reserved people and if we do put ourselves "on the line" so to speak, getting to know someone, we want to make sure its not going to bite us in the ass. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm a softy. I don't like getting hurt.
6 - Cats are a handful! I feel like I am their possession and they fight over who gets me. Can't we all be friends?
7 - Coffee is my best friend and my mortal enemy. I love it but I HATE when my body becomes dependent on it for functioning. I see-saw. I drink it for a while then break the habit and then end up drinking it for a while again until I get pissed that I want it so bad. I am hoping if I do become pregnant, that will be my incentive to break the habit permanently. In the meantime, this is a DELICIOUS latte! I wish I liked drip more, because its pricey to be a slave to the Bux.
8 - Insomnia blows. Something about post-ops that not a lot of people are warned about is the high incidence of insomnia. I took Ambien for a while and it helped but Ambien has some crazy side-effects that I don't want to play with. Then the insomnia seemed to clear itself up but now its back. Too much number 7 maybe?
9 - I can't wait to pay off our car. I hate car payments!!! I will never buy a new car again. What a racket that is! It depreciates by like half as soon as you leave the lot.
10 - I was trying to think of ten things but I only have nine. I asked Ryan what my tenth thing should be about and he said "how awesome I am." Ok. He is, you know. I am pretty lucky to have such a kind, considerate, loving husband who equally appreciates my awesomeness. Yay!

Car payments suck. But you have a pretty focus.
Maybe your tenth thing should have been how awesome Jenny is.
If ya grind your own - and use top-notch beans - you might be surprised by just how much better standard drip coffee can be.
In fact - and this is top secret - the fully-caffeinated stuff tends to make me jittery and/or mess with my tummy so I mostly brew decaf or half-caf but it tastes so much better than the Folgers we used to buy, Dede hasn't even noticed that she's not getting the caffeine "oomph" outta her morning cups. (I suspected all along she really only "needed" coffee because she liked the taste and warmth.)
For the price of a coupla Starbucks lattes, you can buy a bag of beans from them instead that should last you a week or two - maybe more.
And yup, car payments do suck. That's why we're in no rush to get rid of our Element even tho it's 6 years old now - 'cuz it's paid off! And it still runs as good as ever.
We do grind our own. My husband is a coffee snob, but I'm just rarely down with it. I do like a nice french press but we don't use ours very often. Thanks for the info! I was thinking about switching to half-caf to wean myself off the latest round of caffeine addiction.
