Blah

Urgh, I'm feeling so blah. Soooooooooo blah. Some may say grumpy. Some may say blue. I say blah. And I don't really even know why. There are some parts of my life that suck right now that I wish to not talk about on my blog but I've generally kinda accepted that. That can't be why I'm blah. I'm not PMS'ing (thanks for suggesting it though), I'm not short on sleep or vitamins. I just had a great weekend with my honey. Our dogs are annoying as hell but what's new?

So why am I so blah?

In an attempt to un-blah myself I cleaned our shower. We have one that has a glass door and I hate it because the scum collects so damn fast. I wish that we had a good ol' fashioned tub and shower curtain as it would be much easier to clean. So today I went to town on the shower. It was really gross and eww so I pulled out the big guns. Mo - please skip the rest of this paragraph as you will be apalled. (Mo is my very green earth friendly friend that reminds me to think green when I can). Today was unfortunately not one of those days.

I found something in what I like to call the "i'm so toxic" cupboard which is where we keep all of our household cleaners. I'm not sure where it came from but I found a spray bottle that was bright orange and purple and had the word "Bam" on it so I thought hell...why not? Oh my gosh, that stuff really works. I still had to scrub at it but it really did make the scum go away. It didn't smell too great (Mo - it might be what your friend Amy is using) so I could only clean half of the shower before I had to vacate and get a breather. I'll probably go back in for more tomorrow. It's also made my hands dry and scratchy. Gawd this blog post sucks. I'm telling you about my dry hands?? Wah-wah-wah...

On a side note - I will say that it's much more fun to clean the shower when you're actually taking a shower. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Anyhoo...half a shower clean and I'm still feeling blah. I called my sweet heart who was at Target trying to find a "shhhhhh maker" (more on that later this week) and asked him to grab me some orange juice and popcorn because that's what I feel like right now. I'm going to try and sneak the popcorn into the bedroom - Rich hates it when I eat in bed - but it's one of those days so I might. Wish me luck.

Oh and I tried to change our wedding date from Oct 31st to Oct 24th - that way more of our friends that have kids and grand-kids trick-or-treating on the 31st could come to our wedding. Although the 24th was free on Saturday it now turns out it just got booked. Bahhhh!

How are you feeling today? Anybody else feeling blah? If you're feeling super chipper....grrrr....I guess you can tell me but tone it down would ya? :) Go easy on the 'blah girl'.

Visiting from SITS- hope you're feeling better soon! Usually when I'm feeling "blah" a little retail therapy perks me right up! ;)

On the shower, I've heard that using shower gel instead of soap keeps the scum down. Just a thought.

We were totally going to get married on Halloween, too. May I say that if/when you have kids this will be a crappy day to celebrate your anniversary. Halloween becomes all about them.

And I second that blah feeling. You need a really good laugh. REALLY GOOD< like slapstick comedy. It helps, and maybe some yoga would help, too. Good luck getting out of the blahs.

Yoga really helps UNLESS your yoga teacher ALSO has the blahs. Then you're in trouble. I myself have the bleahs. Seriously, I used the word bleah on my blog yesterday so we are now officially eerily despondent co-bloggers. However, I can assure you that cleaning ANYTHING is a sure way to make me even more bleah!

Hope you are feeling more "boing" soon.

At least you managed to do something. Today was a blah day for me as well, and I instead watched tv all day and ate cookies, crackers and chips.
Ps, I'm totally cool if you wanna follow my super nifty blog.

Bella@That damn expat said...

Yes, I've been feeling blah lately.

Laura @ My Thoughts-Uninterrupted said...

I hope you cheer up soon! What the heck is a shhhh-maker...you have me very curious. I almost already want to buy one.

I was feeling the same way on Monday, really bad and weepy all day. Tears kept leaking out of my eyes. I think I was feeling over emotional about family having left. They were visiting from Canada at the weekend and we had such a great time. I miss family so much and love it when I see them and always feel so bad afterwards and miss them so much.

Anyway, I am feeling fine again now and I hope you are too. I am always here for a natter you know!

Oh, and of course you may use any caustic, toxic, and totally un-green cleaning products you choose in your own home Bo! :):)

Oh girl, I can't tell you how many blah days I have. Just because blah days. Hang in there!

Coming over from the SITS Welcome Wagon to say hello! Glad you have you along for the ride!

I've totally had a "blah" day too...called out of work and everything. Oh and I always manage to clean my shower while I'm in the shower...it just makes more sense if you ask me. Hope you feel better!

Sturgmom - thank you for the welcome! I'm trying to save up money for our wedding so no retail therapy for me but thanks for the suggestion!

Leaner - thanks for your perspective...I honestly had not thought about it that way. No yoga for me until physical therapist says I can.

Petals - you made me smile. "Boing". Love it. :)

Inspired - I love the three C's!

Bella - I could kinda tell. Hope we're both feeling less blah soon.

Laura - hopefully I'll get around to posting about that tonight!

Mo - I can only imagine that is how I feel come November after my family leaves. BIG sigh.

Aubrey - thank you for coming by!

bodaat said...

Dresden - totally agree with you on the shower thing. :)
