Rischa's Rants, Raves, and Ramblings

Alone & Packin' Heat

I'm drawing a blank on what to blog about. I had something in mind when I went to Typepad.com, but now that I'm here I don't remember what I was intending to say. Well, I guess I'll just state the facts of the day to get things started.

Joel is in Fort Walton on his business trip. You know, the one I was supposed to go on with him. Anyway, this is my first day all alone. Kolby is visiting my family in GA. It's just me and the critters. I'm not afraid to be alone OR admit online that I'm alone. Why? Because I'm packing heat! Haha! So don't any of you weirdos get any ideas unless you like the taste of hot lead!

I haven't really done very much with my day. I'm almost done with my usual chores. I did go for a run. I'm enjoying the runs. Even though they almost kill me. lol It will take me a while to work my way up to jogging more than a couple minutes at a time. I took Lacey with me. She might be getting too old to run for any length of time. I thought I should probably take the larger of the two girl dogs since I was alone and it was night time. It's too hot to run during the day. I called Joel before and after the run so he'd know I made it home safe. A girl can never be too careful with all the crazies in the world. There are a lot of runners/walkers at night in our neighborhood. It's pretty safe. There are lots of cops that live here, too.

After I got back from my jog/walk I had some Chicken Corn Chowder. I love that stuff! I'm yearning for some more sugar cookies with cream cheese icing now. I'm forcing myself to wait until my Sunday night shows come on, though. That way I can have a little treat while I watch Dexter and Californication. I hate that last week was the last "Curb" of the season. The Seinfeld reunion was great!

Alright, I'm outta here. It's time to feed and water the birds and then the gliders. By that time I can slip into my gown and watch some shows before bed. Oh, and the cookies....can't forget those!

Rainy & Sickly Day

Today couldn't suck harder if it tried. Well, I suppose that's a fabrication. It could be a hurricane outside and I could have a stomach problem to go with my cold. Anyway, today still sux! I've been fighting off this cold for weeks, but it finally won our little war. I'm "in the bed" kinda sick now. The DayQuil isn't touching this junk and I'm suckin' up the nose spray like it's crack and I'm a crack whore. It's also thunder-boomin' outside. I guess it's a good day for it since I'm in bed. I'm not missing out on anything since everyone's stuck inside. Also, rain can be quite relaxing to the bed-bound person. The thunder has gotten loud lately, though. The dogs are pretty miserable, too, as they haven't gotten to rid themselves of the morning energy burst they normally get. It's 3PM and they've only gone out briefly once all day long. That reminds me of 2005 when one of the hurricanes hit and they were inside for over 24 hours until it was safe to go out. They held it like champs! They didn't get far outside our door, though, before they all squatted. LOL If they could have they'd have said, "Ahhhhhh".

Geez, how did that last paragraph come about? I ended it talking aobut Pee? Really? Must be the cold meds. That's my story.

So on to something different. I skipped the gym yesterday and it isn't looking like I'll be going today, either. I was on such a roll that I really hate that I couldn't go. I haven't skipped 2 days in a row since we signed up. I was about ready to start running on the treadmill, too. I think I've built up enough endurance that I could take a few minutes of running at a time. I didn't want to start running right away and just totally blow my bad knee. Have I mentioned how bad having RA sucks lately?! I've had it over 11 years and it still ain't fun.

I haven't been a very good blogger lately. I know this isn't news, but what I mean is that I haven't been using images. I know people like to see images in blog posts. I do, too! So I better start using my camera again. I'd rather use my own images than someone else's. That's not to say I won't ever use images from Flickr or wherever else, but I enjoyed using my own. The entries lately are looking pretty dull, though, don't you think?

Joel may be traveling back down to the Naples area soon. I'd love to be able to go with him. It's so hard to do that for us, though, with all of our critters. I have no one around that would make a good sitter. I really loved Naples, though. It's beautiful and the place we stayed was awesome! I think it's the best place I've EVER stayed. As a bonus, it was around the time of our anniversary, too. Joel's Mom even sent us a basket to help us celebrate. Very cool of her, eh? Anyway, it sure would be nice to be able to hop in the car with Joel to go on these biz trips with him. I could take my easel and some paints or at least my sketchbook and enjoy some relaxation in a new place.

That's about all for now. The nose spray has kicked in so I'm going to try and get some rest for a while. If you've got chicken soup, you know where to send it! ;-) Later!

PS. For my next post I'll talk about Videos and my Amazon purchase.....

Can't Sleep

I can't sleep, so I thought I'd post an entry in my poor, neglected blog. Sooo....what to talk about. Since sleep is what I'm after at the moment, let's start there.

I try every night to get in the bed at the same time as Joel. He decides he's going to bed and 5 minutes later he's snoozing. By the time I take the dogs out, close both computers, wash my face, brush my teeth, check all doors, get into my Pajamas, etc... It's too late. I really wish I could simplify my life so I could just say I'm doing something and DO it right then and there.

Speaking of simplifying my life, I really do need to do that in ALL aspects of Rischa-ville. Did I just say "Rischa-ville". How lame! Must be the sleeping pill. Anyway, first let's start with my email lists; I get about a thousand emails a day from different subscriptions. Most of them I mass delete. Why do I do this? What am I looking for out of these lists? I waste an awful lot of time sorting. I even have folder after folder to help organize them all, but I still waste a ton of time going through them all.

Second; Pets. I love each and every one of my pets. I REALLY do. Just like everything else, though, I go overboard. I take in every stray or sad face I see. I'm like the old lady that lived in a shoe, but with critters. I can't even go on business trips with Joel or visit family with him because I can't leave them behind. I have given serious thought to finding homes for my parrots. I love them so much, though, it makes me cry to even think of it. Let's say I did find a new home for them, though. I could then have my own room to work on my art rather than sweating my ass off out in the garage, where my current studio resides. I could also move my sewing desk and computer desk in there.

Oh, and then there are my treasures; I have various collections that are just stored in boxes in the garage and the attic. Don't get me wrong, Joel has some, too. I can't speak for him, though. Back to the point, I have bird houses (can you tell I have a thing for birds?), Precious Moments figurines, Piggy banks, shot glasses, and other small collections that I don't even display and bring me no use or pleasure at all. Why?! Some of them were given to me, but I did bring it on myself by starting these little collections to begin with. I don't even like these collections any more. They're just fun things to collect for a while and then they begin to collect dust, so I box them up.

I guess the question I should be asking myself right now is, "What is missing in my life that I overdo everything?" Is it a boredom thing? A perfectionist thing? A challenge? What the hell? This is my struggle for the moment. At times I think to myself, "delete everything!" That would include email lists, collections, or anything that complicates my life. The, other times, I think to myself, "What if I regret it later?" What to do, what to do?

Ahhh well, moving on....

I've been thinking of joining a Gym lately. There's one called Anytime Fitness that looks promising. I like going for walks and bike rides, but it always rains in the evening here. I set my alarm for a bit earlier this morning thinking that I could go early before it got hot out, but it stormed!! Grrr! What's a flabby girl to do? I bought an exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels, that Biggest Loser chick, but she had me doing jumping jacks, push ups, squat thrusts, jumping rope, etc... I can't jump up and down on these arthritic knees! I tried it and my knees hurt for a week. I also could feel that the workout was an awesome one, though. My muscles were that good kind of sore that you feel after you've worked out. I wish I COULD do it every day. I just can't, though. My rheumy would fuss at me if I did. On a more productive note, I have started logging everything that I eat and drink. I downloaded an application that helps you track your calories on my iPod Touch. It's really great because you can do a quick search for your food and they have a list from all restaurants and grocery stores to make it easy. It's really a great little weight loss tool.

I think I'll go surf the net a while until I feel like I can catch those illusive "Z's". I can tell that it's getting harder to concentrate on writing so my sleeping pill is surely kickin' in. See ya next time....

Oh and P.S. Don't judge me by the grammar used above. I'm not even gonna proofread this entry. It's too long and I'm too lazy to do it.

Just a Tuesday

Today was just another day. Not a particularly good one. I felt crappy all day and Joel got news that he'll be going out of town for a week (again) this Sunday. I felt so tired and achy all day that I just slept. I missed some of my RA meds, so it's not entirely surprising that I feel this way. I took it today all at once since I'm late, so I'm guessing tomorrow will be even worse. The med, Methotrexate, makes me feel sick when I take it all on one day like that. I usually break it up over two days and feel less sick.

The news of Joel going on another biz trip couldn't come at a worse time. His grandmother isn't doing very well, so he really needs to be home in case something happens. Also, I just don't want him to be gone for so long....or at all. It's bad enough that he works almost 24/7. I'm starting to feel pretty lonely. My art keeps me pretty busy, but that's an at-home thing, so I don't really get out much. I wish I could meet a friend that's into the same things as me LOCALLY. I have lots of friends like that, but they're not local. Most of the artists that I've met around here are on the older side of life. For once, I'd like to hit it off with someone my own age. I tend to get chatty with older folks for some reason. Maybe I'm one of those "old souls" that you hear about? Who knows....but it's lonely being an old soul apparently.

Joel is talking about us taking a short vacation for our 10 year anniversary. It sounds like fun, but for us it's always a hassle to go anywhere together. We have to find someone to take care of our fur children. The only person that I trust to come and do that is Mom and she's in GA 7 hours away. To be honest, I'd rather Joel just take the time off and us hang out together with NO phone or interruptions. Just a nice few days alone to go out to dinner, go to the movies,  or something like that.

Eek...I had more to talk about, but my computer just did an update and now wants to restart. I guess I'll take that as a hint that I should go back to sleep. I've already slept 2 hours, but I had to get back up to take my nightly meds and put the cloths in the dryer. Oh, the fun of having RA and a heart problem.....Woe is me. Sorry, it's just how I'm feeling right now. Maybe my next post won't be such a downer.

Our trip to the Oldest City (with celebrity sightings)

I haven't uploaded my photos from yesterday, so I don't have any eye-candy from our trip to show off yet. I'll do that today. I didn't take many pics, actually. But here's a rundown of our day anyway...

The hour and a half up there was nice and uneventful. I think I talked about that in my 70MPH entry. Once we got there we were in love with the city immediately. What gorgeous architecture! I had already made up my mind to come back with the good ole Nikon. I guess we're not the only ones that love the place as parking was at a premium. We finally decided to pay 8 bucks to park for the day. We found a good spot. We say Joel's parents walking up as we were getting out of the truck. I hadn't seen them since October of 2006. We chatted for a bit to catch up and wait on Joel. He had to run to the ATM to pay the parking attendant since we only had a buck. lol

So when Joel caught up with us we started walking along the streets among the many, nice shops. I love places like that. It reminded me of Helen Ga, which I miss visiting very much. We then made it over to the Fort to see Castillo de San Marcos. We didn't take the time to tour because we were all hungry by that time. I intend to explore this place when we go back. I love learning about our history in new places like this. Well, new to me. Obviously not new being the oldest city and all. :-P So we trekked back up the street to Harry's to munch on some yummy Seafood. Joel and I have similar tastes in food. We ordered the exact same thing. She Crab Soup and Crawfish Etouffee. Can you say YUM? I know that you can. What a nice place. I forgot to mention anything about the actual restaurant and skipped straight to the food. Can you blame me? It's SEAFOOD for goodness sake! Anyway, you enter the place through a New Orleans style courtyard. I can only imagine how nice it must be to dine there at night as they had lights strewn throughout the trees and greenery. And with candle light on the tables I bet it's quite a romantic spot. My in-laws mentioned that the only thing missing was a fountain to make it just like New Orleans. So if you're in town, you should check this place out.

From there we walked the streets again venturing into Art Galleries, more shops, and finally, an ice cream shop. By this time the heat was getting pretty rough, so we were ready for a cool, tasty treat. Oh....and get this! Good Charlotte was scheduled to play a concert there at the Ampitheatre that night. And who did I spot in the ice cream parlor, but Joel Madden's wifee poo, Nicole Ritchie!! She stuck her head inside the doorway for a few seconds and then was gone. At first I thought, "Nah, that couldn't have been her out among the common folks". But then when we left the shop I came within a foot of her daughter, Harlow, being pushed in a stroller by Joel Madden himself!! I could have bumped into him I was so close! How cool is that?!

Oh, I almost forgot to mention the funniest part of the day. When Joel's Mom talked us into having our pictures made at one of those Old Western places. LMBO I'll have to scan in the photo and let the image do the talking. It was hilarious and I can't believe I didn't put up much of a fuss seeing as how I don't like my photo taken. Hmm...come to think of it.....maybe I won't scan that after all. Hehe

Photos to come....but not many. Maybe next trip will result in TONS of photos. One can only hope. I'm off for now. Have a great weekend everyone! 

Blogging @ 70 MPH

Here's a first! I'm blogging while I go down the road. We're on our way to St. Augustine to meet up with Joel's parents. I brought my laptop and Joel and I installed his air card from work on here. So while Joel drives us to St. Augustine, I'm blogging! It's been a quiet, and nice drive. It's back roads all the way and they're fairly straight and open. We should be there in a few minutes, so this may be short.

I carried my laptop in my new, pink, owl bag. I bought it at Target. It was in the 1 Spot that's always near the entrance. It says, "I love Hoo I am". lol It's cute. I'm also wearing new "flop flops". That's what Joel calls Flip Flops. They're just plain black with a bit of a lift on them. It was either these or my new, black Mary Janes. I'll save those for a dressier occasion.

Okay, I'm going to hop off here before I make myself sick. I never do well with reading while I ride, so I'm guessing it's similar for typing. Maybe next post I'll have some St. Augustine photos. I brought my small, snapshot camera in my purse. I wanted to bring the Nikon, but I wasn't sure where we'd be going. It's a bit combersome to carry it around, but totally worth it if I know there's a photographic opportunity. Maybe next time. This time we're probably just going to visit with family and eat somewhere with them. Who knows. We have no real plans as of yet.

See ya next time! Bye!

What a freakin day!!!

It's happened again! I've had one of "THOSE" days. First, Penny wakes me up early as hell after I was stupid enough to stay up most of the night. My fault, but it still wasn't a great wake up call after such little sleep. Then I get a call from FL Hospital that scared me to death. I thought Joel was hurt or something. Turned out it was the wrong number.....THANK GOD! Then Joel called and told me he has to go out of town AGAIN for about a week to Kansas City. Oh joy! After his boss had told him he'd get a break from travel until after lightning season ended. Then when he gets home he has to go to bed extremely early because he has to get up at 3 and go to Ft Myers (I think that's where?) for work. Hey, at least he got a rental and was able to burn THEIR gas for a couple of days until he turns the rental back in. There's a silver lining for ya. So anyway, it felt like he had just got home when he had to go to bed. Then I took my meds and ran out of my drink, so I got up to go get more. I had a drink glass with ice in one hand and a plate and fork in the other and the glass slipped outta my hands. Well, in my attempt to hold on to it I also dropped the plate and fork. So it all went everywhere! All over the rug in the living room. So I got my handy little spray bottle full of water/vinegar and started scrubbing. See there was a little bit of drink still in there and I didn't want the carpet stained. It sure isn't fun trying to clean up something that was dropped from hip level that splatters! lol Okay....in the ranks of bad days mine wasn't terrible, but it seemed like one thing after another to me. There were other things that happened, too, but sheesh...who wants to read about all of that? Much less type it all!

On to something good................Damn...........I know there's something? Okay, I'm just going to come up with random things I'm thankful for since this blog entry has been nothing but complaints so far. Here goes:

1. I'm thankful my little man, although he's in GA, is such a great kiddo. I know all parents say that about their kids, but Kolby really is a special person. He has never given me trouble like most teens and kids do their parents. And I can't really take credit for it. He's just a good egg. God gets all the credit....I have just steered him clear of danger and kept him fed. lol
2. I'm painting again and loving every second of it.
3. My Mom came through her gallbladder surgery okay. She's still recovering and in some pain, but the pain pills help she says.
4. I have Joel and he's just perfect for me. I could go on, but I don't want to give him a big head. lol
5. I come from a normal family that loves me.
6. Somehow I have managed to find some awesome, supportive, caring online friends from all over the globe.
7. I'm not homeless.
8. I have a cheesecake in my fridge.
9. I have the coolest wiener doggy in the world and her name is Penny-Penny.
10. I live in Florida where the weather kicks much ass! lol It's warm year round. Can't beat that!

There....now I don't feel like such a whiner.

Oh, I know what I can blog about. Mother's Day! As I mentioned, Kolby is in GA helping take care of the farm while Mom is down from her surgery. Even though my kiddo wasn't here Joel made sure I had a good Mom's Day. Kolby sent me a text that said, "Happy Mother's Day" first thing that morning. Then he called later in the day. Joel asked what I wanted and I replied, "books". So we went to Books-A-Million and I found one of the books I was looking for called "Acrylic Revolution". Joel then found another book that looked interesting called "Acrylic Workshop". I've started reading the first one and I'm enjoying it. Hopefully I'll learn a thing or three. I've already learned some from it. Anyway, for my mom I painted her a little something. I took photos and put one up on my art blog. And guess what....I'm not going to show you here. You have to visit my art blog to see it. Hehe Hey, I have to generate blog traffic somehow, right? The link is on the left or you could click here --------> www.artist-haven.blogspot.com

Hmm...what else? Oh, My mom's friend, Fern, asked me to make something for her so she could give it to Mom. They've never met, so she wanted me to make a photo look like they were together. Here's one of them.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And the other......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made several versions of that last one, but I like the b/w best. It was really hard to get the colors right as Mom's photo was taken outside and Fern's was inside. So I had to create shadows and tone some things down on Mom, etc... I think the first one looks best as far as realism goes because they were both in similar situations.....both inside. But Fern was holding that thing up and almost covered Mom. Anyway, that's my PS work. I haven't done much else in PS.

I'll post more later. I don't like for these blog entries to get too long for fear of IE crashing or the electricity going out and losing all I've typed. It's happened before and it's not fun.

See ya!

Ho hum...

Well we're back from Naples and Mom has gone home to GA. (thanks again, Mom, for critter-sitting!) It's always so sad when she has to go back home. We both cried as she was leaving today. Kolby said he was sad, too. You never get too old to need your Mommy.

I slept for most of the day today. I have been feeling like I was going into an RA flare up, though, so I guess it's good I stayed off my feet. I SO hope the RA monster isn't flaring its ugly head! It's been a couple of years since my RA has been really bad. My ankle is hurting and so is my hip/back and knee. Plus, as of today, I think I've got a cold. I'm not sure, though, as my allergies have been terrible. Maybe some of this rainy weather will wash that pollen away.

The time I wasn't sleeping today I spent with Kolby. He wanted me to clean his computer off so he could turn it into a gaming computer. It's my old Dell. He uses his laptop for his school work, so this will be his play computer I guess. I still need to take a lot of my stuff off there so it'll be faster for him. He went ahead and started installing, though, before I was done. I left it doing a clean up and when I came back the Clean-Up box was gone and there was a new game on it. lol I asked him what he had done with the Clean-Up and asked if it had finished and he said he didn't know anything about that, but he installed a game. :-P

Mom cut Kolby's hair last night before bed. He has a cute new "do". He doesn't like for me to compliment him on it, but I just had to do it. He looks even more grown up now I think. I can't believe I'm looking UP at him now!! Holy crap....where did my baby go? He looks like a man now!! *sobs*

Joel and I got back from his business trip on Thursday and he already has to leave again on Tuesday. I'm not very happy about his job right now. They don't pay him enough for him to be driving and flying all over the place!! It's really pissing me off! Pardon the language, but it does! I don't see him as much as his co-workers and boss do. That's not right! They should at least give me a loaner husband when they're going to take mine away for so long!! LMBO (just teasing, Joel)

I thought about doing a tutorial for PSP or PS before bed, but it's already 3 AM. I better call it a night or I'll be up till Joel goes to work. That's not out of the ordinary for me, but I try not to do that. I already know which one I really want to do, though. It's such a cute one! http://www.got-milk-tutorials.co.uk/tinyangel.html That's one of my favorite tut sites. She always writes great ones. Anyway, I've already got the tut supplies downloaded, but it'll wait till tomorrow I suppose. I'm still not feeling well, so maybe by tomorrow I'll feel better if I go to bed now.

I'm off to bed. Night all!

One more day....

We only have one more day to enjoy this beautiful resort. It has gone by super fast. I haven't really done anything other than relax. I snapped a few shots of the beach really quickly, but those were just snapshots taken on the way to dinner. My poor Nikon isn't getting any play time so far. Maybe later today I'll bring it out and have more photos to show.

I just finished watching Days and now that it's over I think I'll go get ready to go so I'll be ready if Joel gets off work early. He's been getting here about 4:45 every day so far.

See ya!
