And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

If I were to have one image to demonstrate what my inner monologue has been this week....this would be it.....

I found this really awesome Menorah I like....

And I'm not even Jewish.

Damn you, Crate and Barrell *shakes fist*

Oh well, it's not like I'm actually going to buy it or anything.

I can hardly believe it's been a whole week since I've updated. I've been just beyond busy this week, but what else is new?

Monday evening in my humanities class we had this completely BS "Pop exam"... We had to write a page to a page and a half relating what's going on in Iran, Iraq, Afganastan, and Korea to this....

"Let others better mold the running mass
Of metals, and inform the breathing brass,
And soften into flesh a marble face;
Plead better at the bar; describe the skies,
And when the stars descend, and when they rise.
But, Rome, 't is thine alone, with awful sway,
To rule mankind, and make the world obey,
Disposing peace and war by thy own majestic way;
To tame the proud, the fetter'd slave to free:
These are imperial arts, and worthy thee."

It's from Virgil's The Aenied. While it's a beautiful passage......I really struggled....and tried to figure out a way to write even a page relating it to what's happening right now in those countries.

I got two very ill-written and fumbling paragraphs out before I noticed the professor had left his post near where we were to turn our papers in and went ahead and turned my paper in and sashayed out of the room and I called my mom on the way to my car.

I would love to see what the hell everyone else wrote.....I know I saw other people turn in the page to a page and a half so I know it could have been done. I left feeling very irritated with the "pop exam" and with myself.

My independent student project is due December 13th and I haven't even started on it, ugh, I'm having the hardest time with this stupid class.

We went to Affair of the Heart on Sunday. I bought my mom-in-law this adorable small cat chimenea for ther Christmas present. She's going to love it! I also found some amber jewelry to add to my collection (a bracelet and a pendent) that totally rock my world. The bracelet looks all antique and chunky (though I'm not normally into big pieces of jewelry) and the pendent is huge too.

Today I started an experiment on myself in regards to if hormones are what are triggering those horrible headaches I get sometimes......seriously, I got one about two weeks ago and went into my boss's office in tears asking to go home it was so bad. Though, admittedly I don't have the tolerance for them that I used to when I was getting them everyday all day and night long. He let me go home, of course....but still, I feel very determined to get to the bottom of these things. So for the next 3 weeks (though it might continue on, if neccessary) I'm using Nuvaring, to see if the hormones will induce more headaches (as it's been the past year -since I stopped taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, I've had a significant decrease in the number and usually intensisty {though there are rare occassions} I've kept a close eye on the time of the month {err...every 30-45 days, as my cycle has been out of wack since stopping oral birth contol last year} and that's usually when the headaches will hit, every so often I think stress might trigger them though...but that's another story altogether).

I digress (slightly) I'm going to be monitoring and writing down everything I eat, how much sleep I got the night before, how well I felt that I slept (the past couple of nights I've slept like crap), how stressful my day was, where I am in my cycle, what I drink, and hopefully soon how much exercise I'm getting.

This is important because it might be a combination of things.....though I think that my hormones are playing a very lofty part in the whole headache scheme of things.

I have to admit I was a little nervous....I mean, here I have the means (or variable, if you will) for my little experiment but pulling the trigger on the whole thing was a little more nerve-wracking then I thought it would be....but I did it. So far no headaches, though I'm sure that will change. I'll keep you all posted. Err....at least I'll write about it for my own benefit at least. And with how hard it was to pull the perverbial trigger on this whole experiement (I mean, this is myself, we're talking about here, not like a lab mouse or anything) I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. It's nice to feel excited, feels like it's been a while since I've felt that way.

Apostrophe, the guinea pig.....

Oh, I am Limewire's bitch. I have managed to, with its help, catch up on the entire 3rd season of Nip/Tuck and download a pleathora of increadibly awesome songs (which I've downloaded onto my mp3 player for when I do finally start going back to the gym). And, get this, it's free! Limewire.com.....check it out, you've got nothing to lose, just remember to be patient with the program and you'll reap a lot of benefits.

And now I'll leave you with an exchange I had with my son earlier this evening.

"Mommy, can I skip taking a bath tonight?"

"No, you didn't take a bath last night, so you have to take one tonight."

"I did too take a bath last night.

"No you didn't."

"Umm....were you there?"

I cracked up, but the little wise-acre still took a bath tonight.

That one ranks right up there with......

"Mommy, I need the light on in my room."

"What exactly is it that you need in your room, Bas?" (I meant this as what toy he was wanting....)

"Ummm.....light."

Yeah, Bas wins for smart alec of the year.
