Martha wins this round

My last post was months ago, so whatever Martha Stewart is doing, it's way more than I have been doing in this regard!

But no matter, I have my lists, and my clippings, my thoughts and ideas.  I will get them on here, I will!

Pinterest will probably help me with that.  If only I could get paid to be on Pinterest, I would be a millionaire!  I love that site.  It is good for so many things, food, cute boys, clothes, funny stuff, you name it, it's on there.  Like my new obsession, SteamPunk!  I don't know why I love SteamPunk so much, but I do.  I am drawn to it.  (SteamPunk A type of subculture that mixes the clothing styles of past generations (such as the Victorian era) with modern conveniences, creating inventions that look as if they could have been created generations ago.......thanks Urbandictionary.com)  I really don't understand why I love it so much, but you know when you just instantly like things for no obvious reason, that is this to me!  (look me up under my name Pamela Doell Varga and you can see my boards!)  

I am trying, I think about being on here and sharing my finds with everyone, but other things like real life keep getting in the way!  I am still on the journey to becoming organized, so bear with me!  I swear, the day before I die, I will have all my crap together...and then I'll die.  But at least I can say I have enjoyed the journey!

Stay tuned for useful information.....but please...don't hold your breath while waiting!

Like Martha Stewart, only not as anal retentive

Did I mention that I am changing this blog? I think I did. I have been gathering ideas and things that I like, or want to try, for a few years. I have them all sorted and ready to go. This blog will be about household stuff, make-up, food tips, restaurant reviews and all that other domestic and useable stuff.

I look forward to telling you all the things I learn. I will probably be rating make-up first because I just bought all new stuff. Isn't that exciting? Well, it might be.

I also want to make a terrarium in this huge jar that I have. I have some tips on how to do that, so once that is done, that'll be here too. I do not have a green thumb, so it'll be interesting. I have a bunch of plants growing in my kitchen - I planted them from seeds and they seem to be doing well. The trick is to keep them alive once I put them outside. On the other hand, I kill most house plants, so the fact that I have grown anything is pretty amazing!

I have to go put away the groceries before I forget that I have them. The kids are back in school on Monday, but I am going to need a few days to unwind. A few lunches out, some shopping trips, and then maybe I'll have something to put up. I really hope I do!

Bad me

I've have been neglecting this blog. I'd like to split things apart and write about different things on each different blog. Goodness knows I have prepared for that.

I have a studio in my basement that now holds all my paperwork, the things I have collected over the years. I am going to put them to use......soon. I swear that they are all organized! I can pick an article and use it as my topic, then write about what I think of it and things pertaining to it. I really do like to share my ideas and this way I am not out talking about them and paining people to listen to me. You get to choose to read...or not, it will be your choice! Aren't you lucky. So keep an eye on this one, I start work on it next week!

Finally, some relief!

I have finally found something that works for my foot! I have been wearing a leg splint at night for the last week and it has helped my foot so much! The splint keeps my foot at a 90 degree angle from my leg all night so that my calf muscles don't pull on my foot muscles. That is the biggest problem with heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. The calf muscles are so tight that they pull on the foot and that leads to the foot problems. I am still going to laser therapy and I think that with all the stretching, icing, laser and the night splint, my foot just might heal! Although I was told today at laser that running is not good for me. Well that's just tough. I am going to run and play soccer as much as I can because doing nothing is even worse for me!

The agony of da feet......get it???

Yes it's the feet again, or rather I should say foot. Just the one, the bad left foot that has become evil and is mere pains away from being amputated. All I wanted to do was play some soccer, is that too much to ask??? They had open soccer at the YMCA and the kids and hubby and I played with a very diverse group of people. I don't think my team won, but who knows. I played defense and got burned by a 16 year old kid several times. I played goal keeper and got nailed in the belly. That kid felt really bad about it, but I told him I was used to it. Apparently a good goal keeper doesn't close her eyes while trying to stop a goal!

I'm still doing laser therapy for the foot, and the girls that take care of me are fabulous. They are a bit stumped by me. They have no idea why I am not responding to treatment. Amphy, the torture lady, took me to the torture room and did a "release' on my calf and hips. That ending with me covered in bruises. Now don't get me wrong, she is doing a good job, but with any physiotherapy, there is pain and bruising involved at times. If she wasn't such a nice person, I would hate her. They have no idea what they are going to do with me now...I guess keep going on the laser amped up to top strength, stretching and icing. What else can I do? I did the orthopedics and cortisone shots already. Maybe it's time to consider surgery?

I've done it again!

And it's not good. I was out yesterday down town, and I went to run across the street, the light had already started to flash the do not walk. So I went to run and I think I tore my facsia again. Man does that hurt! I say I think, because last night I went for a run, and it didn't hurt all that bad. But I know the feeling, and it hurts right now. Why can't my feet just stop hurting? Is it really that hard to stop? I may need a foot transplant. This time I want a pair that can walk in heels. I think I'll book an appointment with the doctor and see what he thinks. I am so annoyed by my feet. Can't they do anything right?

Back to the Grind

So my well deserved break gained me 5 pounds! Was it worth it? Maybe! I don't feel too bad - I have some resolutions in my head. I've got plans to eat well and exercise, maybe starting next week. I've just got so many things on my plate and sleep, exercise and eating right always fall to the bottom of the list when I am busy. But I feel good, tons of energy, lots of ideas, and I am ready to go....I'm sure I am burning calories just running around the house getting stuff done!
