I find my self laying in bed, scribbling down the lines to my life as a novel. It’s nothing to catchy, or even anything interesting. It just causes me to wish that I had kept a journal to write all of my thoughts, tribulations, and trivial nonsense down into while growing up. I think it would of been a best friend that was really good at keeping secrets.
I never kept a journal, I hardly consider this one now.
I often find myself reflecting on my life, the good, the bad, past, and present. I always try to figure out, if this is a story I will remember for a week, or a new story that will last a lifetime. Most of the time I don’t figure this out until I’m already telling the story of an event of my life.
I guess the story I have in my head today, is about when did I figure out I was gay. I guess you could say I never ever had an ‘ah hah’ moment. My sexuality just kind of rode with me, from the time I was born. It was always just there. I never considered my self different, I never thought I was a ‘weird’ kid or even that I had cooties. I just thought I was me.
I guess this is why I have hard time understanding other peoples stories of sexuality, because mine was so cut and dry, so right there, just waiting for me to grasp it. I never hated myself, or thought I was disgusting. This is probably why my heart aches, so much for those who did.
As a lesbian I have never understood, why people decided to ‘plaster’ gay stickers to their cars, or own hundreds of rainbow items. In my personal opinion, I find that having ‘pride’ is a a wonderful thing to carry w/ you. However, how can one ask for equality, when they are creating their own singalization. Do straight people wear, straight flags, I think not! I don’t think we should ‘hide in the cupboards’, but I do think we should blend nicely into the public.
I can dream right?
And while I am on a tangent, why in the world does my local news station feel the need to make a headline out of a girl who shares a name w/ Sarah Palin. Is this really important? Uh no!

So my last post was way to long ago. So I’ll recap my life of the last two weeks. Busy, work, school, busy, work, school. Questions anyone?
So I have been chugging a long with school, much to my dismay, today, I tried really hard to work on one of my projects for school, yet I only got a minimal amount done. My sewing machine, and Christmas presents were calling my name. I am the worlds worst procrastinator. It’s true, horrible! I guess, this pertains to my favorite quote.
Procrastination, is like masturbation, in the end you are really only fucking yourself.
So on that high note, I’ve decided that my work is a headache, I am over work, and underpaid. Seriously, I deserve a raise! It’s not going to happen, but I do! I just wanted to state that little fact.
So that’s been my life, school, work, and crafting. I’ve been trying to get in sync w/ my creative side. Can I squeeze in Diet time. We’ll find out.
So, I have been, babbling for long enough, even if it’s short. I am off to snuggle w/ my wife.
xoxo

Okay, so a Nestie, on my be loved webside The Nest.com Shared this fantastic blog with us. The name I am spacing, but I WILL credit them. This looks to delicious not to share.
We’ve made this dip before and it’s always a huge hit. It’s so simple and so delicious…and that’s a good combination. It actually always seems to be the dip that is eaten the most when we have people over. And being that it has just a few ingredients and it comes together so quickly, I love making it.
Roasted Garlic and Herb Dip
Williams-Sonoma
Ingredients:
4 heads garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 fresh rosemary sprig
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 1/2 c. sour cream
6 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
3 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
-Preheat an oven to 400 degrees
-Cut off the tops of the garlic heads and rub the cut surface with the olive oil.
-Put the garlic in a garlic roaster or on a baking sheet.
-Arrange the rosemary and thyme sprigs on or around the garlic.
-Cover the garlic roaster with the lid or the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
-Roast until the garlic cloves are soft and lightly browned, about 1 1/4 hours.
-Let cool completely (I usually make this the night before before it smells up the whole house)
-Squeeze the pulp from the garlic cloves into the container of an immersion blender or into a bowl of a food processor.
-Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped rosemary, thyme and parsley, the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
-Blend until well combined.
-Cover the dip with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serve the dip with potato chips. Makes about 3 cups

I’ve been feeling awfuly sour lately. You know the sour that comes when you drink Orange Juice immediatly after you brush your teeth in the morning. So sour you just spit it out. That’s what I’ve been doing lately spitting things out.
1. Diet- I’m trying to do a positive thing in my life, turn somethings I hate about myself, upside down, you know trying to help myself. I’m struggling. It’s been almost a week, Since my last post, and I haven’t even weighed in today. I just don’t want to see the dissappointment on the scale. I think that’s part of my problem, letting myself down.
2. Sick- Tuesday I was ill, I had a day constant of dizzy spells, and faintness. Not good. I went to the Dr, had a blood test and it looks as though, my blood sugar was low. I think the Dr. said it was right around 87. (90-120) is normal. So my sugar level wasn’t exremely low, and the Dr. wasn’t too worried, but I have a follow up appointment, so I’ll let you know.
3. So I’ve been a slacker, getting myself to class is like, taking candy from a baby. The part where the child kicks, and screams, and yells I hate you. We’ll thats me, only a 19 year old version. Pathetic I know. My step mom sent me a card today. She asked me ” What is it you don’t like about going to school, your major, the teacher, the class.” My answer would be the fact that it seems to obsorb all of my free time, it leaves me feeling suffocated, by the constant, I should really be doing school work. It’s like an inside battle that takes all of my energy.
4. Work, has been busy, and I’ve been working as hard as I can on all of my school work. I have been really trying my hardest. I want to proove my worth, proove that I can do my job, AND help out where needed. Maybe next time I won’t be passed on for a promotion. We’ll see.
5. Myself. I’ve just been a bitchy betty lately. I’ve been chewing out my lovely wife for a whole bunch of NOTHING. Things that are truly trivial, not folding the towels this way, not loading the dishwasher my way, not using the biodegradable bags for Raph’s poop. Seriously! Why do I care, should I be thanking her for doing the laundry, loading the dishwasher, and taking out Raphael?, and not be such a cunt? I said it, I said the C word, but that’s how I’ve been acting. I really need to get back to a good place, and thank her for being wonderful, because she is.
So; now that I’ve ranted about how sour my life is right now, I will remember that kids in Ethiopia don’t have food, and are burying their family members. That soldiers in Iraq, are dying for me to sit on my couch, that people in China don’t have electricty, and that hundreds of children are sleeping on the street.
Sometimes, I just need to whine, and put my life back into perspective. So all in all here is today’s food chart. As bad as it may be, I am owing up.
Breakfast:
1 cup of coffee, 3tsp Creme Brulee Creamer
Lunch
1 fruit roll up. . . 5pts
1 100 calorie brownie. . . 2 pts
Dinner
4 . . . Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms
1 cup Pasta Figole Soup
2 breadsticks
1/2 lasanga.
Diet Coke.
Total: 12197 2357 pts.
I really am a whiner.
