NEW BIRD!!!!!

So on Saturday I went to Ogden to go pick up my new bird. I found her on KSL.com. The owner was giving her away because she didn't have time to spend with her since she hurt her leg and the bird was named Sunny and was 6 years old. Well I have been looking for a baby sun conure for months and no one had any yet. when I saw this bird I thought that why should I get a baby when this poor bird needs love too. So I sent out an email to the owner not thinking I would get a reply. but sure enough that same day she emailed me and asked me if I wanted her. I was over freaking joyed plus she was only $175 were a baby Sun Conure would have cost me around $400.

When we got her home she was really upset and we weren't sure if she really was a biter or not, the lady had said that she hadn't ever bitten anyone but I seem to be the person who has the first time with things like this, so finally I got her to sit on my shoulder and she would play with my hair and play with my eyelashes, which means she was preening me and was a good sign. Plus I was in need of a good preening!

so it was nice and she was getting kind of use to us. plus she lets you pet her and she won't bite at you for it! it was really weird. I am use to having a bird that would chew my hand off if it got to close so I was really nervous that she would turn around and attack, but she never did.

I asked my mom how my dad felt about me getting the new bird but she was like "I didn't tell him about it did you?" I was shocked she tells him everything even when I tell her not to tell dad she still does. so we wanted to see what would happen when he got home but this bird is really quite and he didn't even notice! it was so fun he came out and didn't even see the cage in the family room. but then we went to say family prayers and Sunny started screaming cause we left her alone. My dad had this look of shock on his face and looked at me. He asked " What the heck was that?" I just smiled and said " My new bird!" hahahaha it was funny. He acted all mad but he thought she was pretty and when she screamed again he said "Man it sounds like we are in a Jungle!" I listen to her squawk again and it does! its like being in Indiana Jones when he is in the jungle. its so cool! but I found out its not so cool when she screams and is on your shoulder.

So so far she is doing good and she loves people to pet her but she hates being picked up, and she never goes in the bottom of her cage but hopefully she will get use to us.

Bad week

So this week was really awful. Everything seems to happen at the same time all the time. Monday I had a day off from work which was awesome for the most part and I went to see the movie Coraline. Which is less creepy then the book but still really creepy I wouldn't recommend this movie for children. It scared me and there was a scene that I thought was a little to risky for a "children's" movie. We saw it in 3D which was cool but man where my eyes tired! I had to close them for a minute or two after the first hour and then I needed a nap. another reason why you shouldn't take your kids to this movie! Then I went to my sister house to play rock band. it was really cool but my gosh I can't play the drums. my left had can't keep a beat for anything. the guitar was a little easier but still really hard. but it was fun and some of the songs are insane so its fun to sing to sometimes.
But Tuesday at like three in the morning I wake up and have to throw up. it was awful so I stayed home from work and was sick to my stomach all day. I just sat around which since being on this diet I don't really like anymore. but my muscles hurt enough that I didn't want to move. lucky for me, my mom was off that day. I think it was unlucky for my mom because I found out later she was annoyed with me! I can't help it if I am bored and she is the only one to talk too! But I am positive if I was in her shoes i would be annoyed with me too so I can't really be mad.

Then I have been thinking about getting a new bird and I really really want a conure but my DAD won't let me have two birds in the house. Sometimes that man is so unreasonable I can't stand it but this bird we had was noisy and would bite and was mean. so I put an ad on the Internet to see if anyone would buy her. I told the truth that she was a mean bird and people wanted her!!!!!! I found this really nice lady that had other birds and I knew my bird would be so much happier there. so I was going to give her up on Saturday, but the lady wanted to know more about the birds character. so while writing an email to her I realized I really did like this bird and started crying. I am such a bad person! what in the world was I doing. I was giving up a bird that I had had for ten years just because I wanted a newer model? oh for shame! but I had already told the lady I would do it so I had to go through with it. trust me my conscience didn't let me go that easy I cried and had nightmares all week about it. but Saturday came and I had to let my bird go. but she was really happy when I left she was playing with all the other birds. and didn't scream when I left. but the one ray of hope is that she will send me pictures and updates about my bird so I don't have to just forget her and hope she might be happy I get to know!
So all week I was stressed about my bird and then I had a doctors appointment and I had only lost three pounds when I got there which means I gained and I had to beg her to let me have soy because she doesn't want me to add food every two weeks like I thought cause the longer i am on this diet the more weight I will lose. but even the health foods have soy so she let me but I still can have wheat only 3 times a week but its better then nothing!
Anyway it doesn't sound like a lot but there are other things that are on my mind but this is far to long anyway. but trust me it was a lllloooooooooonnnnnnnggggggg week. (sign) and now here comes another one. don't worry thought I always come out alive somehow!

Wheat can be oh so Awesome!

so here is an update about the food thing I am doing. I went to the doctor and she said that I was doing good but she wanted me on the diet for two more weeks to really get the "toxins" out of me. I basically told her I would die if she didn't let me add something back into the diet. Now I had thought a lot about what I would add back in and I had it all picked out. Soy. I was going to add Soy back in, but has I am sure this happens to you. the doctors makes me very nervous. so when she asked me what I would like to add back in I blurted out "WHEAT"! what the? where did that come from? wheat? I think I was thinking of having a sandwich at the time but it is all very fuzzy. but I still can't have loads a week I can only have wheat three times a week. so when I was done the first thing I did was run to subway!!! My little sister is the manager and I had her load up a sandwich with Veggies even the ones I don't really like! it was awesome I was so happy. real food! Glorious Bread! Never leave me. Never!

When I told my mom I went to subway she seemed disappointed in me but I told her the bread was whole grain. but then harvest came home and bursted my bubble. She said she read the ingredients and it was made of Enriched Wheat flour. which means it was not whole grain. I was crushed, I wanted to cry no no more sandwiches from subway! wwwaaaaaaawwawawawwaw. but I got over it. life must go on. so we went out and bought whole wheat bread and some meat I could have and slap some mustard on there and you have an awesome sandwich for someone who is hungry.

the diet isn't all bad so far I have lost 13lbs! I still look huge but I am hoping that will go away soon. right now I still have a week and a half before I go back and am able to add more stuff in and this time I will stick to my guns and yell out SOY! hahaha

Eating is Everything!

So I finally have something to write about it my blog!!!!! Aren't you so happy! All two of you that read this. I have been to my share of doctors and I hate going because they never treat me like a person and just tell me I need to lose weight. Well my goodness I had no idea I needed to lose weight! I've only had 12 other people tell me that. I just think they are mean and so busy that they don't see the big picture. anyway so my mom found a Doctor that works in her building and she was impressed when she talked to her. She really seemed like someone who cares about her patients. So last week I went to her and she said that I am the kind of person that has a hard time losing weight and that for my stomach she wanted to put me on a special diet. one that detoxes the system. so I was like what is so special about it? Well I can't have Wheat, Dairy, Corn, Soy, or preservatives for two weeks.

WWWWWHHHHHATTTTT?????

That's like EVERYTHING!!! so she gives me a packet of what I can and can't eat and some recipes I should try to make during the two weeks.

Well its almost a been a week and let me tell you I want to die!!! its so hard when you can't eat anything so I have been eating fruit and veggies and weird crap called Moki and stevea. I have never head of any of this crap! Then going to the health food store was like entering another dimension where everything tasted bad and all the people looked mad and unhappy. or at least that's how I felt.
OK its been hard yes but I know its good for me but I can't watch TV commercials cause they all have food and I want to sneak out and go to the drive thorough. and my sister has to eat at a different time then me because she can eat anything and be skinny all the time. oh that really burns my cookies........ yummy cookies ..... no summer no!!!

OK where was I? oh yes the diet and let me tell you fiber doesn't fill you up. I can eat and eat but I am never full and I am always hungry my stomach hasn't stopped growling since Sunday. (At least fast Sunday won't be so hard this month.)

oh and let me tell you about the recipes she gave us. my mom made this special salad dressing I could have and it is so gross it always makes my stomach lurch but I am so hungry I eat it anyway. then she makes this Cinnamon bread. I usually hate Cinnamon bead but I was so hungry and wanted something soft to chew. it was actually really good! I was so happy! for the first time something tasted good! I also tried to make my own spaghetti sauce and it was OK but it had a weird after taste. I was never very good at cooking. and then I tried last night to make an Applesauce Bread. I was so excited to eat it. when it came out of the oven I cut a piece straight away and took a huge bite. oh my gosh it tastes like FEET!!!! yuck!! patooooy! oh yuck. It was so gross ! oh this whole pan was a waste cause there was no way I am eating that. when my mom came home I didn't tell her it was gross I wanted to see if she said it was good cause she likes to fake me out and tell me it taste good so I will some how change my mind if she likes it. the look on her face when she had a piece was priceless!!! she hated it too! and she threw the whole thing out.

so I have no idea how i am going to survive the rest of the week. just pray for me.
