ManCandy Monday

I just put in an 11 hour day and I’m beat! I still have my piano lab to put up, finish a bulletin board, hang up a welcome back banner, do lesson plans… School starts in a couple of days. I don’t know…

Anyway, I’m exhausted, I’ve not bought clothes in 24 days – getting close to that bar and will reach that goal because even though I’ve been paid, I’ve paid all the bills and there is nothing left over! There ya go!

It is ManCandy Monday. Are you ready for it???

Always save the best for last!

Happy Guy Day!

And quite frankly, it’s the ONLY happy I have right now.

My desk wasn’t fixed, the 2nd piano and the television they were supposed to take away over the summer are STILL here and I just got our schedule. To say I’m less than pleased is an understatement and it’s going to be a long, long long school year. My choir was just shot down. So not happening. I am just… my unhappiness knows no depth. Right now, I am a black hole, bottomless pit of unhappiness.

So here’s some Guy. He makes me happy. Hope he makes you happy too!

 

Good morning!

And how are we all?

My summer vacation ends tomorrow morning at 6AM when I crawl out of bed and return to work. I’m hoping I’m relaxed and resuscitated and this will sustain me through the next 10 months. Really 9, when you consider holidays. We have new admin (our principal is now permanent, our AP moved on to greener pastures further south. We had 3 retirees, so they have replacements, a few have been transferred or moved on within the system) We have a big change coming NEXT year and I’m not sure I want to deal with that mess. So chances are I will be looking among a few other teachers.

So today, I will spend getting stuff together. I still have a lot of school things in my garage that I refuse to keep. I also need to find my sight-singing materials as well as my beginning piano books FOR REASONS!!!!!! (YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!) My principal is opening the school over the weekend, so if I can get the room set up on Saturday, I can spend the following 3 days writing lesson plans. Lesson plans are the bane of my existence. I’d rather have them done so I won’t spend the day their due writing them.

In other news, I’ve not bought clothes in 20 days.  That’s another thing I get to do today – pull out my closet and arrange it for school. All of my summer/weekend clothes have moseyed to front and center and my work clothes to the outer ends. It’s my vice. It’s either that or food. Hopefully, when I pull stuff out, it will reiterate how much I have and I won’t feel the NEEEEEED….

But these boots…

This summer I did more things than I’ve done any previous summer: we saw more movies (5, not including the one we saw more than once, 8 guesses to which that one was!) there are 2 movies due out in November I NEED to see (Bohemian Rhapsody and the Crimes of Grindelwold.) We spent more time out of the house.

This summer, I reaffirmed my love for a garden

I had hoped my sunflowers would be up by now, but these so-called dwarf zinnas are over 4 feet tall and they sunflowers aren’t getting the sun they need. Ah well.

I found my dream home.

Okay, this is really my dream house…

I know, I don’t need this much house, but I can dream! Get it? DREAM house?

What didn’t get done this summer was writing! I’m hoping to find time today to finish up the latest segment of William Edward. What didn’t get done was cleaning of my carpets, my house wasn’t deep cleaned, I think I unpacked one box out of my garage. I only went to my mom’s once, but we stayed a week. I did visit with friends while up home. We didn’t go to the beach, we didn’t see a baseball game. I haven’t read so much.

I did resolve to take better care of myself and consider my needs – not my need for clothes. I started what will be a 3 year project on my teeth. But I can smile now. My new glasses are due in any day! My A1C is coming down. Wish my weight was, but I’m working on that.

Summer went by too fast. But then again, it always does. At least I have a job. This year.Here. Have some Richard.

ManCandy Monday!

I am in a bit of a predicament. Not really. Just trying to show some self restraint.

I was talking to my doctor last Friday and I made the comment that I had no vices – I don’t smoke or drink, I don’t party, go to bars. The few things I do love, I’ve been forced to give up – no more cheesecake, fried chicken, pizza.

Men.

No man will have me. I’m crabby and cranky because I’ve given up cheesecake, fried chicken and pizza.

However, upon second thought, I seem to have replaced those vices with clothes shopping. I don’t NEED anymore clothes. I have a full closet. I’m going to buy another storage container for my out of season clothes to give me more room in my closet.

 

I’ve gone 17 days without buying any clothes or any shoes. What I have clothing wise is for the most part becoming baggy, but I can survive.

Sadly, the fall things are coming out and I’m drooling. As all of my back orders have come in and I was finally charged for these things (I thought I had been charged for them) my Roaman’s credit card is maxed out.

No worries, I’m making the payments plus some and I’m making the payments on my Care Credit Health Card, and I’m not struggling or straining at the bit. I’m fine.

Except there are these REALLY cute autumn/fall clothes and it dawned on me that you know, as the other two places keep offering me a card with either $10.00 off or 20% off I forget…

Just no. Get thee behind me Satan and DOOOOOOOOOON’T push! I’m trying to show some restraint here.

ManCandy anyone???

No. Not him.

Obviously, a young Dwalin!

Always save the best for last!!!

 

Rant!

Soooo frustrated. Feel free to skip!

Happy Guy Day

I’m frustrated, oh so frustrated, but I”m NOT going to buy anything, just… here. Happy Guy Day. Rant to follow this weekend.

Dear Yahoo

Please stop deciding each month that my emails from WordPress are spam and putting them in my spam folder therefore forcing me to go hunt for them when my WordPress traffic has been non-existent for 36 hours. Thank you so much and btw yerservicehazsuckedferawhilestoptryingtoimproveityermakingitworse.

My blood sugar this morning was over 200. I’m sure Dairy Queen for dinner and that Hershey bar at midnight had a lot to do with it. It’s depressing. I have no vices and I’ve given up everything I love. Cheesecake. Pizza. Cokes. Chocolate. Men. And clothes.

13 days, no buying clothes! (Am going to stop saying ‘no shopping’ – I’m shopping, just not buying. I know. I’m a masochist. I have no money, so no buying.)

Here. Have some Richard.

I am now going to have lunch. Yogurt. Yum. *Sarcasm*

 

Channel Z

Hello and welcome to Channel Z. I’m Zee or Zeepster and I’ll be your host today! I am celebrating 11 days of NOT BUYING CLOTHES! I have looked, I have a wish list, but no. No purchasing. I am praying it is still warm enough to wear one of the sleeveless dresses I purchased last month that I like – I like all three of them and 2 of them I can wear to work, but they’re still dressy enough to wear to my brother’s wedding.

Either way, it’s been 11 days and I’d like to break my record of almost 30 days, I do believe. All of my backorders have come in, my credit card is now topped out (or pretty close) so if I do break down to purchase something, it has to be with my actual fundage, not the credit fundage. That should slow me down.

One hopes.

It has taken 4 days for me to figure out HOW to answer my phone. It’s weird, my son called it over and over and HE was actually the one who figured it out. So much slipping and sliding. Hate it. Just hate it.

We are in for a hopping evening…

The cats are under my bed.  They won’t even come out for dinner. That’s pretty bad, given an hour ago Lord Thunderbutt was at my feet screaming for food. That’s the only thing he screams for.

I have reached the last question of Guylty’s challenge…

Z – A chaRActer headcanon you have?

I tend to WRITE my headcanons. I think Thorin had a love when he was young and when she died, he took her death so badly, no one spoke of it, which is why there is no mention of her. I think Gary is stressed and over-worked and so  busy doing his job and raising his boys, he feels thrown under the bus in many ways. Certainly has no time to socialize. I know this feeling. I think he’s a sweet and gentle man and probably is looked past at the grocery store. I think Daniel Miller has been an undercover spy for so long, he’s forgotten WHO he really is. I want to delve into Trevor Belmont’s backstory.

I think Guy suffered so much when his parents died and he and his sister were tossed of their land. I think Isabella had no clue how much he suffered at the hands of others so she would have a little something.

Those are my head cannons. Have some Richard!

 

 

Y is summer almost over?

I know, I know, it’s the smack dab middle of July, right? Here in the sub-tropics, we still have 3 more months of 90+ degree temps BEFORE heat index throws it into 3 digits! But I return to work the back end of next week! I don’t really have to report until Friday, but I’ll go in Wednesday to start setting up my keyboard lab and getting my room put together. I’m hoping I find my 2 externals before then. I have one full of school age movies to show when I’m out sick. I had them the last day of school, brought them home and I’ve not seen them since. No shit, Sherlock! Unreal, I know!

Ah. Harken back to the days when sumemr vacation was June, July AND ALL of August!!!!

Y – Choose a work of art of a song that reminds you of RA

and if that’s not enough –

Think I’m done? Nope. It’s Man-Candy Monday and as I somehow managed to go through Friday with no Guy Day… Man Candy Monday is brought to you by Richard Armitage, dressed up and no where to go but my head!

I hope y’all are having a wonderful Monday!

Better smile

Dropped my phone in the toilet, and my thigh highs finally came in!

I’m feeling really good right now!
