I am so ridiculously pleased with myself right now because I FINALLY finished off the last of the last bottle of shower gel in my possession. Silly, right? But for years, during my younger, stupider days, when I had a little extra money, I would spend it instead of save it in an effort to fill the hole inside me - that would be the unmet need for maternal love.

I quit buying them after my dermatologist told me they might be contributing to my dry, itchy skin misery, but I still had so many and I couldn't bring myself to just throw them out because I hate feeling like I "wasted" something that could still be used.

So yeah. Ridiculously happy to finally see the last of it all.

My kitchen smells of oranges. Mandarin orange, to be specific. I've dropped all my "Holiday weight" since I stopped eatting cookies and switched to mandarins. My Uncle once told my mother he could eat 6 to 8 of them before he felt like he ate something. Well, no wonder he had problems with his blood sugars! I don't know exactly when, but he was diagnosed as a Type 2 when I was a child. Personally, I eat one and I know I ate something because they're so sweet - 2 and I won't want to eat again for hours.

Livia has been very social today - probbly because it's so warm. It frequently is before a cold front come through. I bet she won't be so social tommorrow when it's 20 to 30 degrees cooler!

*sigh* my time on the exercise bike has become rather monotonous lately and I'm finding myself getting 10 or so minutes into it and really wanting to stop. Part of it is yjr fact that the weight is no longer melting off, and part of it is the fact that my stupid iPad still wants to play the U2 songs it came installed with more than the music I've loaded it with. I actually deleted one song since the lyrics bothered me so much - 'you have a dace not spoiled by beauty' WTF? Are you trying to make this woman leave you, Bono?? 'Cuz that's not a good thing to say to a woman you want to stick around!

Not that I dislike U2 - far from it. But workout music? Not this stuff. Gimmie a beat!

For some reason, Gmail has started putting my Pinterest Notifications in my main Inbox folder and not in my Social folder where FB emails and YouTube emails go. And today the Dreamwidth notifications a;sp showed up there toowhen they had been going to that same Social folder. I've tried moving them, but they don't show up there, so IDK. But it is irritating - why bother having the 3 different folders if they're not gonna file them correctly?

I did come home Inspired from the West Austin Studio Tour, byt so far I've only been able to channel that into identifying things to get rid of. Things that don't fit my life now, and I don't want to re acommodate them into my Life. Mainly a few clothes - but they're still here because first I gotta wash all the light colored cat hair off them! LOL And where is Mr White and dilute ginger at right now?? Napping on a pile of clothes. :) He's such a sweet boy - I won't make him move since the 'damage' is already done.

But I guess I'll have to take it for now - making the living space less cluttered is one way to get closer to who I wanna be since one's living space is an outward reflection of one's interior. :)

I've been fighting a bug all week, and today I got signs I'm on the mend (no fever, less coughing)m but that now means that all the sleeping I've been doing is now keeping me awake when I so dearly wish I could be sleeping. I've got things to DO tomorrow!

I am pleased that this bug didn't turn out to be the flu. I mean, technically it could have been, but I never felt bad enough to see a doctor, so no testing ever happened. But I never got the body aches or nausea that they're saying happen with flu, so who knows.

I've been wanting to sew or do something else crafty. But I have no clear flat space to set up and do so. And this past week I haven't done any type of housework at all. But the problem with the flat space is it's mostly stuff that has no pre-existing place/ So it sits on my table (and desks). I'd love to put it all Away, but I'm thisclose to just scooping it all up and putting it in a box to join all the other boxes where I've done that. SO MANY BOXES!!! Actually, this sort of thing is how most of my stuff gets moved. Some person randomly throws stuff in a box until it's full. I actually opened a box after my last move that I had started packing with sewing projests in various states of completion to find someone else had not only finished packing that box for me, but had thrown a hammer from a different room in it! )I have strong suspicions who did it, but they deny they did it. But really, given the rampant disregard this shows for my possessions this act shows, there's really only one person it could have been.)

I have figured out my Little Grey Cat loves wet food. But the Big Harry Boy doesn't seem to recognize it as edible. Odd. He's the one who will nag for his before bed treats!

I hate this feeling I get sometimes when I just want to BUY SOMETHING!!! I want to SO BAD. But damn - I've indulged that impulse far too often and that's now why I have too much stuff! My overabundance of stuff is just ridiculous. And yet I still sometimes feel the need for MOAR.

The Consumerism is strong in this one.
