… was hilarious!! I think that was one of my most favorite in the series of Shrek movies. We went earlier this evening and though the kids didn’t find it as funny as I did .. oh well. 
Shrek is usually more geared towards the adults anyway. I just used the kids as an excuse to see an animated film. If you have been thinking about going, GO!
I just wish the kiddos had behaved a little better. They weren’t terrible by any means and were 100% better than a few of the kids in the theater but still. They didn’t act to my standards. They were super antsy so I didn’t get to enjoy the entire experience. No popcorn or soda for me since I had to be on duty the entire time. It’s too hard to eat when I can’t relax. On the upside, no looking up ways to reduce belly fat tonight. I came home and had a sensible salad for dinner instead. Most of which I tossed because honestly? I just don’t have an appetite anyway. I have been struggling with that so popcorn probably wouldn’t have tempted me anyway.
I know you can use cocoa butter for stretch marks but can you use coconut oil? I got a super deal the other day on two jars of organic coconut oil and now I am looking for ideas to use it. I have read you can use it in place of butter in baking or even frying items at a high temp. Coconut shrimp cooked in coconut oil? Hmmm… I’ve always read you can put it on toast or just eat it as is.
AND it’s supposedly great as a moisturizer and for your hair. Seriously, it sounds like the jack of all trades when it comes to food products. I will definitely have to experiment a little and see what I come up with. After all, cooking baking will begin soon so I can send them off to those hot sailors on the ship. lol
Every day this week I have noticed giant flat screen tv boxes out by the dumpsters. Must be nice! I am always a little jealous. I would love to be throwing a box like that into the recycle bin. I would love one but unfortunately I am one of those old fashioned folks with the old tv’s. I honestly don’t see us upgrading anytime soon either so it’s going to be that way until the tv’s die off. You can’t just throw them away, you know? Maybe after that we can upgrade and get something nicer than old couch. Maybe home theater seating? The whole shebang!
Being military there is always that chance that we’ll move and our tv will be broken. It has happened to us before! I suppose that is what I’ll pray for the next time.
I have apparently caught the crud that is going around. I felt fine yesterday and then last night before bed I could literally feel my throat swelling and my body started to ache. By the time I got into bed I was shivering so bad that I could barely stand it. So I grabbed my electric blanket and turned that sucker on high! After that it was a blur. I kept waking up to the sounds of the tv. First shows on E! and then later infomercials for exercise tapes and acne products reviews after the regular shows went off air. It was torture. Then I had kids in and out of my room because you guessed it, they don’t feel well either.
It’s looking to be a super fantastic holiday weekend! I am hoping we get better so it’s not all wasted here at home. That would be such a shame. 
I just want to get out, have some fun, socialize a little and forget that I have another 30 weeks alone. lol
No need for diet pills or diet pills side effects in this household. I just went grocery shopping and spent a whopping $55! That is like a quarter of what I would normally spend. Seriously, there’s one good aspect of not having an extra adult around to feed. With just the kids and I here it’s quite simple. We rarely eat a whole lot and when we do it’s not a big sit down kind of dinner.
Unfortunately that means a lot of stuff that is “kid” like. Two things on the menu for the next week are homemade mac n cheese and spaghetti. It is so hard cooking when I have super picky little kids to eat it. The youngest especially. If it’s not in hot dog, pasta or nugget form he wants nothing to do with it. I will be lucky if I can get him to eat the mac n cheese because you know he prefers that blue box! Icky, powdery fake stuff.
In the last week I think I have managed to get maybe 12 hours of sleep if you add it all up from each night. It’s sad. I normally fall asleep around 3am and then wake again by 5 or so. I leave the tv on, on accident and end up listening to crappy infomercials while I am trying to sleep. You know, life insurance for senior citizens, awesome blenders, phone sex hotlines? That info starts creeping into my brain and then I end up feeling as if I didn’t sleep at all, no matter what the clock says.
I am going to try my best to get to Walgreen’s and get some melatonin. I’ve tried a few things this week, even half of a percocet. While that worked it wasn’t something that I probably should have done. I felt like a total desperate druggy. But at least I did get a few hours of sleep and I needed it. Badly.
What is this Twitter thing that keeps popping up every time my blog loads? I will fully admit that while I am good with most things from digital cameras to blenders, I kind of stink when it comes to online or computer stuff. I guess I will have to do some research or ask around to my geeky friends. Proud, geeky friends. All I can think of is that I have changed my password since I put the little twitter doohicky on this blog. Would that do it?
In general I need to do some work here. Now that I have a ton of time on my hands I should blog more, blog quality randomness and of course make my header actually fit with most people’s monitors. I used my old dinosaur monitor when I made that and didn’t realize the issues that it would have if viewed on a modern, NOW kind of widescreen monitor. lol
You know, I thought I was bad with the obsession to get all of the codes for the 7/11 & Zynga program but I witnessed a lady much more crazy than I this afternoon. SO nutso that she had the employees out with their book of stuff for this promotion and they were getting her things from storage! I was a little jealous, too. I’ll admit that. Especially when I asked and they just ignored me. But this woman was SO much better than I that they could go to those lengths?? I would have understood more (in a very sick way) if she had been a hot little thing with her boobies hanging out .. but no. Just an middle aged woman who looked like she needed a life. LOL
Oh well. I would need a gym membership and access to fitness equipment if I kept buying all of that stuff. Thankfully I have enough codes now so I don’t think I will need to be browsing their store anymore anyway. Well, I would love the coffee cart for Farmville. But I’ll have to wait until they start passing cups out of the “normal” folks and not just the super special butt kissers.
Need quick weight loss tips? I have them! Stress plus anxiety! It’s working wonderfully for me. I have went days with nothing more than a bite here or there. Some days I have forgotten to eat entirely. I only remember once bed time comes and I have a chance to settle down. I don’t know what my deal is though. I don’t feel super depressed or anything. I just feel kind of sick to my stomach when i do eat so it’s best to avoid it altogether.
I wouldn’t object to losing some pounds, honestly. But starving and stressing was not the answer I had originally looked for. It’s not up there on that whole healthy diet thing.
Anyone have any ideas to prevent hair loss? The oldest has been home from school for all of 15 minutes and the kids are already fighting. Awesome! It’s a gorgeous day outside, too. I don’t get it. GO OUTSIDE! But they refuse. You can bet though that the next time I want them indoors they will have a total change of heart. Then they will be bugging the crud out of me to be outside. I can’t win. I love them but at times I want to throttle them. 
In the most loving way possible.
Someone asked me today how everything was going. It’s going. LOL That’s about it. It has not even been an entire week yet and I honestly feel like time is going soooooo slowly. There is no way that Winter will ever come. *sighs*
