Yes, the updating lately has been lacking and I apologize for it ( Read more... )

Mary reamed me out yesterday. I deserved it, that much is true. She called me out on being stubborn. She offered to give me her weight watcher information and teach me how to use it and once more I refused. She thinks this class I'm taking is going to be a waste of money. I agree that it might not be what I thought it would but it never hurts to ( Read more... )

Today is the launch of the biggest loser contest that I am organizing at work. This week Mary and I are only going to eat salad and drink water! Well, I realize that I do need some starch so I'm going to start each morning off with oatmeal or cereal or toast and fruit/juice and milk. It is also my goal to go to the gym ONCE per day EVERY day this ( Read more... )

I've finished the Twilight saga after only a week and a half. Yes, the entire thing. Although I'm quite impressed with myself, the experience has left me with the inevitable "now what" syndrome. It always happens after ripping through a really good book or series, I often wish that I hadn't been so quick about the process and had drug it out longer ( Read more... )

In all the depression of the recession, I'm attempting to keep an optimistic life view and make the best of my situation. It's an opportunity for me to clean out and simplify.

I have to laugh at how quickly my hopes and resolutions for the new year were dashed. I went to the gym once last week. My fear of crowds overran my fear of being fat for the last month. I figured now that the crowds have died down, I can resume my workouts. Only problem is that I need new tennies b/c when I worked out at the gym last week, I ( Read more... )

It has certainly been an awful week and I'm so glad it's over. Last night was fun- Kyle took me with to the Joe Fornuthin' gig to teach me how to run sound board. It may take a while, but hopefully this is a skill I can learn fairly easily. I absorbed more than I expected, so that's a good sign ( Read more... )

This week has been the worst. On top of another sinus infection, I was pulled over on my way to work Monday morning. Speeding. Stupid cities changing their speed limits every block makes it difficult to not speed unless you just go 30 mph all the time in which case you've quite likely to get rear ended. I was cooperative and the cop appreciated ( Read more... )
