You wanna know something awesome?

I declared today to be a pajama's only day.  It is currently 1607 and I haven't even left my apartment.  Not even to go out on the deck.
I plan on showering later and putting clean ones on.
You wanna know what is not awesome?
I have a herniated disc in my back, and it is quite painful.  I have been going to the chiropractor and getting traction and adjustments there.  I have been to the doctor twice for pain... and both times he gave me meds and told me to take them and hope I get better.  Although the second time I went he did order x-rays to rule out any tumors.  Good thing that was clear.  I have been reading up on this and the only way to know exactly what is wrong you have to have a MRI.  But you have to jump through a bunch of hoops first so the insurance will pay out.  So I also have been going to psychical therapy... and I don't really think that it is doing anything... but its one of those hoops we have to jump through.
Also I start school next week and I don't know what books to get.  Every time I check the website to order them from the bookstore it "can't find" those books.
Merg.
Oh well.

Good News!

I got a new computer for my birthday! Its a long story as to why I got one... And I'm not going to bore you with the details.
But it means that I will (hopefully) be posting more.
Maybe I will get out my camera and actually take pictures now that I have a place to store them... and not just use my iphone.
My one big complaint is that the space bar sticks.
I know.

Does it bug anyone else that people use hashtags on facebook? I know most of them are moms that don't realize what they are doing, but still.  Its annoying.
Only because I am super controlling.
Letting it go.
I am going to bed now... You know I'm tired when things like hashtags drive me up the wall.

I have been awake too long.

So I am essentially starting school over again this fall. But I will be done a semester-ish earlier.
I am super excited... But super afraid of failure.
But I can do it.
On another note... Here's a pic of my mom and sister after their 50 mile bike ride. (that's 45 more miles than I will go).

And there a pic of my drive home. Love it.

Saturday

I like this blog to every once in a while dump some of what I am thinking. I don't know I anyone reads this... Sometimes I don't really care. But it is good for me to get stuff out.
At this point in the day I have been up for 23 hours. I worked last night ten went to the dm farmers market with my mom and favorite sister(I have two sisters and a sister in law but still have a clear favorite.).
Where was I? Oh yes. Farmers market... Then shopping in west dm. Lovely day (VERY HOT) but I did find a pair of brown calf height boots with a small heel at dress barn for $13. Beyond exciting.
Love clearance.
Also my friend started a blog. Love her! Lschuelka.blogspot.com
Read it.

Dawn dish soap

Is there anything that stuff can't do? Seriously.
It gets baby animals clean.
It gets your dishes clean.
It gets your cars clean. (I did have a picture to insert here but I must have deleted it. Picture my brother and two munchkins washing Nick's brand new car.)
My mom said that consumer reports said there was no difference between aldi brand dish soap and dawn dish soap. I beg to differ.
Mostly because it can get baby animals clean.
I would say that their marketing was successful.

Impromptu girls night

My brother is home this week and we were all going to go to a Cubs game as a family. Then my dad couldn't go because he had to work. Then nick couldn't go because he had to visit his in-laws. (Autumn couldn't make it this trip). Then Philip decided he didn't want to go since it was so hot. I don't blame him. Here are some picture from our night :).
Mom learned how to photo bomb tonight... See if you can figure out which ones it is :). Also that random guy is pretty much the best fan ever.

On sleep and dreaming

Alright.
I dream the most bizzare dreams.
Seriously.
I keep remembering yesterday's dream...
I was apparently in charge of our kingdom as our queen mother had gone to keep the peace somewhere. But at some point I had to go to school (I was seemingly in high school) an the only way to get to school was to take a swinging rope across the ocean. And some Amazonian girl who was my cousin met me at the cliff where the school was. The school looked small on the outside but was a huge maze on the inside, not unlike a T.A.R.D.I.S. (if you don't know what that is, google doctor who and tardia)
But what was most impressive about my dream is that Mr. Whitaker of adventures in odessey fame had his shop, Whit's End, connected in some way to the school and I got to meet him.
I also got to go shopping with my aunt, who was either a queen too, or in charge of the school, for school clothes and such. When she didn't know how much I was allowed to spend she video chatted with my mother... Except it wasn't Skype, it was more along the lines of those giant screen like in star trek when they would talk to others. ("on screen mr Spock")
I honestly don't think that my dream means anything... I just think that I have an overactive imagination that watches too much tv and reads a ton of books.
Also, I don't know who was watching the kingdom when I went away.
