My first therapy/counseling appointment is tomorrow.

What do you know???
Or maybe what do you not know? I've been tagged by The Rogue Midwife to make a list of 8 things about me and then pass it on.
Here are the rules for being tagged:
RULES - Post rules before giving the facts - Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves - People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules - At the end of the your blog you need to tag six people and list their names - Leave them a comment on their blog, telling them they have been tagged and not to forget to read your blog.
Ok here we go,
1. I am a...foodophile? a poor-man's foodie? I have yet to come up with a good name for it yet. But I really love to eat and prepare and talk about food, and have way too much of an attachment to eating and tend to eat more than I should. BUT I am not an adventurous eater and any true foodie would turn up their nose and laugh at me and I know it. But I love restaurants, even junk ones like Golden Corral and Applebee's. (But never McDonald's) I would go out to eat every day if I could. I love the experience of eating a meal. I love junk food, including and especially Coke AND Pepsi. I don't know how I'm ever going to stick to a healthy diet. (Don't get the impression I'm trying now, I'm not)
2. I'm a phobic, anxiety-ridden worrywart, and I'm sick of it and I'm doing something about it. I made my first call to a psychologist/therapist practice today. They weren't open and I had to leave a message, but I called.
3. I am not opposed to cosmetic surgery for myself and if/when I have the funds (and the Valiums) I will have laser eye surgery, laser hair removal, porcelain veneers on my teeth, and possibly more, maybe something like this.
4. I hate my house. I hate most houses on the market in our area. I want the room and simplicity of a farm house without living out on a farm with all the wild animals and evil nasty bugs.
5. I love baths and one of my biggest dreams is to have a bathtub big enough for my whole family to bathe together. Like this one. Yes, that is over 6 feet wide and two feet deep. I'm serious about bathtubs. If ever won the lottery, this would be the first thing I'd order.
6. I want a dog like this. But instead I live with a dog like this.
7. I love love love tattoos and will be a body of walking art someday. I want to have my whole back done.
8. I didn't have a wedding and I'm wistful and envious of the whole crazed multi-billion dollar wedding industry, even though I know deep down that it is foolish and frivolous and consumerist and wasteful. I still greedily, selfishly wish I could have done it. But I probably never will. And I don't have the kind of family who would be involved in that kind of thing, or any friends to be wedding attendants. So my reality would never turn out like those dream weddings. But oh, they do looks so dreamy. (This is all my point of view from magazine, TV, and online. I've never been to a real wedding-y wedding. Just a couple backyard bbq things and a union at the courthouse. Never been to a dinner-and-dancing, throwing the bouquet, full-out lavish affair)
I tag Jen, Jaime, Kara, Aimee, Sarah, and Deanna. Sorry to all if you have done this before, just do it again, it is fun!

A lot of cute kids
and a little taste of Harry and the Potters. We went to their concert at the library last night, and I tried so hard to get good pictures. HOWEVER, someone whose camera I used, did not email me the pictures that I said I wanted copies of. Ahem, ahem, JESSI! So you'll have to wait to get the whole picture, but I do have a few.
Ok, oops, I loaded all those pictures on the left for some reason

Long overdue, all the Harry Potter you can handle...
It's been over a month now, but because I don't have my own camera right now (and I'm kinda lazy) I am way behind on getting pictures online.
First, from the midnight showing of OOtP, we don't have much, but check out Robby sleeping in Aunt Jessi's arms and wearing a mini wizard hat! They did this to him when I went to get a drink...
And we had Riley's impersonation of a Death Eater before we left...
Then a couple weeks later, we went to the midnight book release at Borders.
Me as Tonks, with my sister as a Hufflepuff alum -
Some people came as Death Eaters and Voldie! I didn't get to talk to them, but we snapped a picture-
THE book!
I like to think Tonks would have NIP Teddy --

Worlds of Fun!
On August 4, Brian's job held "Family Fun Day" at Worlds of Fun, and not only did we all go, we scavenged up extra tickets from his co-workers who weren't attending and took 9 people with us! Riley of course had so much fun and had to ride EVERYTHING and didn't want to stop. We stayed the whole day and did it all. Since we went, she is still asking when can we go back to the 'big park' ?
She rode lots of rides with her daddy.
And some rides with me...A couple we are friends with went with us and Riley rode some of the rides with their older daughter, K.
And I had to start my collection of photos of NIP at local landmarks-
Me and my perfect little man.
And this is what we all looked like at the end of the day, it was hot!

JESSICA!
When you read this, pretend that I'm virtually kicking your internet butt! You texted that I was supposed to wait up for you to call me after you got off work around 10. I'm holding myself up from going to bed and now it is 1!!!! 1 o'clock in the damn morning! I have crap to do today, I should be sleeping! Why didn't you call me!
I've had enough of your buttweaselish douchebaggery! I'm out of here.

Well long time no typey mates
I haven't been doing anything too interesting lately, just futzing around. I just made that word up. Previously mentioned bitch girl did some even worse nasty stuff. Harry Potter mania has been on in full-force in my home and isn't going to slow down any time soon. I cut my hair off and dyed it pink to go as Tonks to the book release. Then (most of you don't know this yet) I got all ahead of myself thinking I was going to get an awesome once-in-a-million job and so I dyed brown over the pink only a week later. And now I'm almost definitely not going to even get interviewed for the wonderful job.
Bummer.
I've got a secret, it isn't much fun to share without pictures.
We went and picked up a van tonight! My car isn't even here anymore. It is so weird!
This Saturday is family fun day company picnic for Brian's work, we're going to World's of Fun and taking the kids....say some prayers of patience and protection for us.
Today is the first day of World Breastfeeding Week
And wrapping it up, I love The End of the World...wtf, mate?
