The boy and I were working on a budget for when I move to San Antonio. I most likely won’t have a job until August (hopefully I can find a teaching job). Anyways, he finished it and I did not see a line for shopping. I asked him about it and he started laughing. I told him it was a serious question, that it was going to happen so we might as well plan on it. He did not give in.. good thing I am the one taking care of the finances :)
I still love them and all.. but why did they have to make so many changes?? JJ leaving broke my heart.. and Lamar Odom?? I mean really, why? Do they not remember how he acted during the playoffs towards Dirk?? They had such a great team, a team that won them the championship and now they’ve messed it up. I loved the fact that the Mavs didn’t really have a lot of big name guys. Now I feel like that is all they want.
I don’t know what has been going on lately but I’ve been in this weird funk. I like to call it my ugly phase. I used to love all of my clothes and had so many options, but lately I feel like my closet has depleted and no longer have anything cute to wear. Everything I can pick out makes me feel frumpy and not cute. Which in turn makes me feel fat. I found so many cute clothes that I want to buy and that I need, but lately I feel guilty for buying clothes. My makeup is off and my hair needs to be done. I feel like a hot mess. I just don’t care anymore and it shows.I need to figure out a way to snap out of this asap.
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second or minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away
Elephants have been known to die of broken hearts if a mate dies. They refuse to eat and will lay down, shedding tears until they starve to death. They refuse all human help.
Scientists are beginning to believe that animals do have emotions and that their feelings may be more intense and unfiltered than our own. Emotion rises from the old brain, the limbic system, which birds and reptiles as well as dogs, humans, and other mammals share. Humans have additional brain structures and symbolic language to process our feelings and a complex array of psychological defense mechanisms that allay or soften the impact of our emotions. We repress, deny, subjugate, dissociate, and use all kinds of conscious and unconscious machinations to separate ourselves from our feelings, but animals have no such recourse, so their emotions are likely to be raw and strong. In fact, this may be one of the reasons we find them so attractive: they wear their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak. People seem to deny the existence of animal emotions so that they can continue to justify inhumane treatment and exploitation and avoid the fact that our actions have a deep emotional impact on our fellow beings.

I’ve never really had skin problems until five months ago.. All of a sudden it was like I was full on pizza face. I finally went to the derm and she told me it was hormonal. Which I assumed that it was based on the location of the breakouts. She told me it was good that I was on birth control, although it was not preventing it. She prescribed me Ziana face cream and Spironolact to take daily. I’ve been doing this for almost three months now and my face still is not clear. I have really bad redness in areas from breakouts that I cannot get to go away. On my ‘check-up’ appointment, I told her I was not happy with the results and I still have a lot of redness.. she then told me that the redness is not going away because she did not put me on antibiotics.. and that the Spironolact takes 3 to 4 months to notice a difference… This does not work for me. My face is still breaking out bad… the only difference from when I started this process to now is my extremely dry flaky skin that I can not get rid of. So now I have redness, pimples and extreme dry flaky skin. If that wasn’t bad enough, I have to put more make up on to cover it.. but at the end of the day, my face looks so cakey from my dry skin. Something better improve fast or else Im going into hiding.
