No se...

Hola Diva Delights!

I don't know what day it is or what I'm supposed to be doing. Thus far, I'm enjoying relaxing in ABQ & not being too taxed by a lot of folks & outings. I didn't get to Schindler's list yet because my mom & sis do not have their dvd player connected! Who does that?!?! And I can't find the cords. Maybe I'll have to watch it via lap top later tonight. I want to rant and rave and rage about some things, but... it's a beautiful sunny day & raging out can't stand a chance. I'm sleepy, but will get out in the sunshine. Maybe walk up to Trader Joes/Uptown & look around until all the folks come out. I'd rather just crawl back in the sheets. What do you think, Divas? W.W.D.D. (what would Divas do)? The sheets just may win today. For a little while at least. And then:

∞ I've got a wedding to attend

∞ An early dinner with my amazing nephew

∞  Some sort of fitness -- Maybe the AIDS walk

∞  Hopefully catch up w/ a friend of mine over java

∞  Relax

Enjoy the day Divas! Make it great.

Safe!

Hola Divas!

I made it safely to the Duke City after a lunch break in Las Cruces with 2 of my godkiddos. They are hilarious & fun and I'm glad I stopped. I usually don't like stopping when I'm on the road. Just focused on getting to where I'm going. But those little perky people are worth it. Anyhoo, no fitness today as I spent too many hours in my car. And I ate pretty well, for a traveling woman: grapes, one granola bar, a few jelly beans (HAD to), and a wee bit of Chinese food. I would've eaten more rice, but that godkid of mine dug her fork in. Whatcanyado?!!?  

Tomorrow I Will:

∞  Eat green chile but not over indulge

∞  Stroll my mom's neighborhood

∞  Watch Schindler's List or at least half of it

∞  Maybe do happy hour w/ the old co-workers

∞  Enjoy a serene, mountain view!

Nothin' At All

Hola Divas!
I accomplished nothing at all from yesterday's list. I was soooo freakin' tired, I just slept once I got home. Well, after breakfast with the security guard, I went home and slept. Today, I did write the Thank You's for our housekeepers. And I need to do the same for our kitchen staff. These folks truly do care about our Vets & do a dandy job. Otherwise... I've got nothing to report. My goal is to walk and pack today. Oh, and go to Baskin Robins later tonight. It's 31 Cent Scoop Night. Get in on it ladies.

Alright... Nothing follows BUT... Have a superb day Divas!

A Day Gone Right!

Good Morning Glories!

Yesterday was bumpy but eventually smoothed out. My car was vandalized here at work, so I had to deal with that instead of darting off for my 3-mile saunter. Crazy thing is, I'm sure whoever was in my car just wanted me to get scared. Nothing valuable was taken. One cd, some sneakers and socks, a jacket, a make up bag w/ pads and tampons and hair pins inside. I have 3 cd cases in my car, my digital camera was in the glove box along with a nice knife, & there's a few dollars in the ashtray. They're all still there. But my sun shades were un-folded and neatly placed over the seats of my car. Bleh. I'm thrilled that a window or door handle wasn't broken & I was able to get on with my day. Off to the library I went. Got an interesting, sexy book & a movie. And guess what else:  My walking partner is so freakin' AWESOME she met me later for a walk around her neighborhood. Ole! So, what could've been a horrible day turned out relatively decent. I believe have I not become such an exerciser, I wouldn't have handled the events as well. Hooray for fitness!  Thanks for listening!

Today I will watch the library movie, walk a bit, have breakfast with the security guard who recently professed his love, & write thank you notes to the housekeeping staff (they have to deal w/ a lot here b/c these fellas are kinda nasty!).  

And the day begins.... Make it a grand one Divas!

Quite A Success!

Good Morning Divas!

I actually accomplished EVERYTHING on my list yesterday. Even made dinner & lunch. Watch my pink dust swirl about ya. YEEHAW! Wait, I still have no pink jelly beans. DamnitJanet! It felt great to go on a short, brisk walk after work. Today, I may stretch it out to a wee bit longer. We'll see what I can make happen. Other than walking, abs & arms, and a trip to el biblioteca, I don't have much else to do. Oh sure... I can make up something. There's always those 33 lingering items on my Get It Done Now List. Let's see what gets thrown my way. I'll catch it & do my best juggling act.

I am so so so looking forward to my trip home. Green chile & flavorful foods & mountains & chuckles. Magic Mel, I'm stopping in Belen to see you, so be prepared! Finito! Ms. Awesome, I checked out your pics from vacation & you are too hot for your own good. And probably the good of others. TAPS, sounds as if you had a wonderful Easter with those fellas of yours. Cheers! Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday & weekend.

Enjoy the day Divas & let it enjoy you equally!

A Not Quite Repeat

Happy Pink Jelly Bean Day Divas!

Wouldn't ya know that I did not walk yesterday. I went to breakfast with a friend of mine, instead. I haven't seen him in... let's see... 4 years maybe. Something ridiculous like that. I did eat lightly though. Had smaller than kid-size portions. So tonight/this a.m. @ work, I got on the exercise bike for a few minutes. Then realized that I am going to make myself ride the bike (I detest stationary bikes) for at least 10-20 minutes every time I come to work. Maybe two 10-minute stints. There are 4 bikes here & I have all the time to ride'em (that's what SHE said!).  A little bit of bonus exercising never hurt anyone. Well, maybe if the person was clumsy (like me) and the bonus exercise required a lot of coordination, (that I do not have) an injury might occur. Here's to giving it a whirl! I won't look this happy:


Oh, the other thing I accomplished yesterday was spending entirely too much money at Bath & Body Works. Damn them in their Buy 3, Get 3 Free sale! Hoodwinked again. But will smell good 6x's over. :-)  I also dieted well. Yay sleep!

Today:
♣  Walk a little... Fo' Real! I gotta do this!
♣  Hook up w/ my Battle Buddy & Goddivadaughter
♣  Attempt Michael Clayton again
♣  Wash dishes & do a load of laundry

Hip Hoppy Easter to you all! Enjoy the day!

Uhm... Not Quite!

Good Morning Beauties!
I didn't walk yesterday. Well not in the sense that I do on a normal basis. I did do quite a bit of walking at work during my 10-hour shift. Have I ever told yall that we have to do random room inspections on these fellas? They hoard the most bizarre items. I can't even tell you how many bread slices I found in drawers along with drills, hammers, spoons, half-eaten candy, not eaten cake, not prescribed meds, etc... It made for an eventful morning & also helped me realize how much I don't like working during the day. Some of my fellas aren't the most hygienic in nature & going through their drawers of dirty drawls is not for me on a regular basis. Wait...Where was I going with this post anyway? Oh...So I thought I would've eaten much better [read: less] yesterday. Not quite. I didn't eat a whole lot though. Maybe I did. I LOVE breakfast, so I just had to eat the smoked sausage, eggs, potatoes, and toast. I left a wee bit on my plate so as not to appear a total sty-aboding animal. I also didn't go on a walk. I was anxious to get home and watch "Snatch" with the lovely Benicio, Brad, and others. To make up for all that madness, I worked my legs & arms this a.m. @ work. And I've made quite a few laps about the building. Ole!

Today:
♣  Diet
♣  Walk (even if I have to do it in my sleep)
♣  Watch Jorge in "Michael Clayton"
♣  DIET!  I'm sleepy!
♣  Find pink jelly beans

Enjoy the day Divas! Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Dairy Disaster

Guten Tag Divas!
Remind me NOT to have so much dairy in one day. My gut is killing me. The lone lactaid pill did nothing to prevent the natural disaster happening in my belly. For the love of Venus, bad belly be gone!

Anyhoo, yesterday proved to be quite productive. Not sure what I'll get done today as I'm pretty darn sleepy. I do want to see "Win Win" @ the theater, so I'll see if I can muster up the energy. Otherwise, I'll indulge in a short walk & do some leg work. I'll also eat a lot better today than yesterday. What the hades was I thinking by having ice cream AND pizza?!?! Sometimes I eat like a middle school aged boy who has too much money to spend at the snack bar. Makes no sense.

Enjoy the day Divas! And please take care of your bellies!

Pure Gratitude

Good Morning Divas! 


I'm feeling pretty dandy & grateful these days. And the list of grateful for's is quite lengthy. Ready? Of course you're not. Who's ever ready for my chaos? Only moi. First, I have a daily appreciation for you ladies & all that you are, all that you're becoming, and all that you allow me to be. Yall rock & rule! Now on to the chaos of gratitude. No particular order in the chaotic list.


I Truly Am Thankful For:
* Being able to give thanks * Netflix * Fear later manifesting as courage * Service members fighting abroad & their own battles at home * My job * Thought provoking articles, movies, conversations, & people * The freedom to exist [mostly] freely * Matthew McConaughey's great looks * Better than average health * Family & friends & friends that have become family * Rocca dei Forte Brachetto wine (absolutely yummy) * Sunshine * Pedicures * NPR * The ability to tell a good story * Dental floss * Dry erase markers *My own space/place * Being helpful & generous.


Of course the list could go on, but you Divas get the idea. Thanks for listening today & always. Today's goals include a nice walk, movie watching (just finishing "13 Conversations About One Thing"), washing my car, ab & arm work, & maybe visiting the Selena exhibit at one of the local libraries. Oh, and buying fruit since I didn't get to it yesterday. I suppose that'll be my walk for the day.  


Time to get it started. Enjoy the day Divas! 

Who Knows!

Good Morning Divas!
Yesterday I dieted! That's really about it. Wait... I went on my 3+ mile stroll after work,did ab and arm work, applied a mud masks to my face, ate some junk, showered, and climbed in the sheets. Yep. That was a full (not really) day! I woke up 12 hours later. WhootWhoot!

Maybe all the dieting I did will lead to a more productive day. Let's hope so. I've gotta get fruit, mail off the Easter stuff (for real, I'm doing this), watch a movie or 2, and maybe go to happy hour. And of course, there are 29 other things that should get done as well. We'll see how that goes.

Enjoy the day Divas & shake it like nobody's business!

Less = More?!?!

Good Morning Delights!

Although I got A LOT less sleep than I need or wanted, I did manage to get quite a few items scratched off the Get It Done Now lists. Easter goods are bought & I'll ship them today. My grandmother's hilarious card is in the mail. Hope it makes it to her by Thursday! I tightened my own glasses yesterday @ work. And dropped off & picked up a book & movie at the library. I'm making productive dust circles all around! Get in on this! NM doesn't feel the need to get my refund for me for some 8-12 weeks. Whatevuh! That'll be right on time for my trip to Hawaii. Ole!

Congrats to Ms. Awesome on the loss, Ms. Netty on the employment gain, and all of you for just being so damned fabulous!

Those 37 other things I've gotta get done include:
♣ Really getting in some ab/arm work
♣ Coming up with a more steady fitness routine. I'm losing the booty & that's NO good. It's like Somali pirates came and hijacked it from me or something.  This is the only pirate worthy of my booty:



♣ Strolling for a few miles
♣ 33 other things that need to take place. HELP! :-)

Be GREAT Divas!

I Need...

someone to almost force me to get stuff done. Not that I don't want to...it's just that other things come along and are more appealing. Going to the Spurs' 1st playoff game of the season, for instance. I had an absolute BLAST at the game (although we lost), but didn't get to the other tasks on my list. I also didn't get to diet for as many hours as I needed since I was at the game well in to my bed time. Oh the sacrifices we make for entertainment sake. I did get in a good 2-mile stroll though. So, this morning I get off @ 10 & have a massage scheduled for 10:45. Here's to hoping I can get my grandmother's b-day card & Easter stuff for the kiddos. Somebody! Anybody! Shove me on to the assembly line of productivity.

Anyhoo, today (or at some point this week) I hope to accomplish a few things pre/post-massage:
♣  Easter stuff for the kiddos
♣  Library run
♣  Buy & mail my grandmother's card
♣  Ab & arm work

♣  Get my glasses tightened. They're sliding down my face in that naughty librarian fashion.
♣  Ask NM where in hades is the tax return they owe me.
♣  Convince my walking partner that 10 a.m. really isn't too late to stroll. EEK!
♣  37 other things I cannot think of at the moment

Enjoy the day Divas! Be GREAT!

Percolating!

Good Morning Divas!

I'm up! I'm shakin'! I'm on the move! Well...almost. Not sure what's in store for me today outside of a 2-mile stroll & hanging with my god-divadaughter for a breakfast at McDonald's. No fear: I've already eaten a bowl of oatmeal & I will probably have another & coffee once I'm at Ronald's play. Speaking of, where in hades is Ronald McDonald these days? I almost want to put his face on the side of a milk carton; the back of carpet cleaning coupon; and/or an 8x11 sheet at the post office. He hasn't been seen on a commercial in years. It seems that McD's is now gearing all ads towards adults instead of kiddos. It's obviously working! Just look at the size of Texans & Americans in general. HAVE YOU SEEN ME?

Digression over. I'm guzzling down some water & about to throw on my sneakers. Time to hit the street. Today I also hope to buy some fruit & healthy snacks and get in some great sleep. By the by, if you've not watched "Big Trouble" with Tim Allen, Renee Ruso, and a bunch of other random characters...DO SO! Hilarious! 

My quote of the moment is: "Your world is as big as you make it." - Georgia Douglas Johnson.

Enjoy the day Divas!

Absolutely Nothin'!

Good Morning Divas!
I accomplished none of what I listed yesterday. By the time I got off work @ noon, it was much too warm for me to stroll. However, I got quite the ab workout by chuckling heartily with my gal pal. I mean, I was truly in tears. Face, neck, and stomach hurting from so much freakin' laughing. It was a grand time. Tonight/this a.m. @ work, I'm completing the benefits forms to have my degree paid for. So...not a complete waste of a shift. I'm being pseudo-productive! I also scheduled my massage for next week. Check me out... Doin' big THANGS! Okay...maybe mini-thangs, but thangs nonetheless.


Today I Will:
- Buy sundries & Easter stuff for the god-kiddos
- Stroll a bit. Even if it's a short distance.
- Diet
- Make the mixed cd that I've been putting off for a week. EEK!
- Wish 5 of my dear friends an amazing birthday!

Enjoy The Day Divas!

P.Y.T.

Good Morning Gals!  Pretty Young Thing is playing on the radio right now. MJ's tunes truly can make me a chair dancing champion. Yall know you wanna shake it. Go `head. Shake.Shimmy.Shake. Don't hurt'em! Owww!  Yesterday was relatively mundane but productive. Clothes made it to the women's shelter; The American was viewed (2.5 stars. It was predictable & slow); bathroom was cleaned; laundry was done; venting commenced; abs and arms were worked. Good day. And to read that you Divas are truly rockin' your workout & weight loss goals... Well, that just bumped the day up to PERFECT! Congrats to all of you. I think I'm close to a 20lb loss since the beginning of  `ll. WHAAAT?!?! How did that happen? I'll tell ya... being coerced in to being accountable, that's how! Thanks to this group/medium, I actually try to do what I say (write) I'm gonna do. Yall seem to be working out for me thus far. Try not to reorganize & lay me off. Please. Thanks.

Today -- I'm not sure what I'll achieve. Something great for sure. I've been leary of venturing out to my day time cultural activities. The city is celebrating FIESTA & it's just crowded all the dang time. I'd rather not deal with the madness. I'm sooo looking forward to my trip to ABQ at the end of the month. Magic Mel, I'm stopping in Belen. Let's have some green chile. :-)

Uhm... Let's see... I should aim for something today:

+  Continue working on my frigginass lap top
+  Request education benefit info from the VA
+  Walk a little bit. Although, I may leave work @ noon, so that may stop the walk before it starts.
+  Enjoy the weather

Catch!

Morning Divas!
I've been trying to make this damned mixed CD for over a hour now. (Don't you always want to use "an" in front of "hour" because it sounds better? I do! Not sure it's grammatically correct though. Bleh.) Anyhoo, learning Linux is wearing a sista out, for real. And I'm too young to wore out. I've got stuff to do. I may just throw my entire lap top off my balcony. Ready to play catch?!?! Outside of NOT getting the CD made yesterday, I also didn't watch Jorge Clooney. He's tumbling through the BluRay right now, as I type, though. I did finish my book, though. Hooray! I'm hungry! No, Silly Ladies, I will not eat my book. 


Those of you raising kiddos, especially a daughter, please be real with them and inform them of those things our mothers didn't tell us. You know... stuff like, you'll have to wax/pluck/shave hair from places on your body that you shouldn't even be growing hair. I'm just sayin'. I'll leave it there for now.


Today's Objectives: 
♥  Figure out how to make this damned CD
♥  Finish "The American"
♥  Pick up & drop off items @ the library
♥  Take items to the women's shelter
♥  FINALLY go to work! Haven't been there since last Friday


Enjoy the day Divas! Be GREAT!

Up For Grabs!

Morning Glory's! 

No idea what goals I'll set for myself today. I've already walked, recycled,  & kinda cleaned my kitchen. I suppose I could spruce up the floors, but...uh... not feelin' it. However, there are 2 loads of laundry that need folding before I head out for a Mexican fare lunch. Not sure if I'll have Magic Mel's discipline & NOT eat chips and salsa. Who can resist those?!?! I mean really! Oh...I didn't gain my 11 seconds of fame yesterday. Probably because I brushed my teeth & kept my bra on...no news team wants a half-sane looking woman to give her account of why bullets were flying. Bleh! 

Okay... here they are.  Today's Objectives:

*  Fold laundry & perhaps wash a heap

*  Mix some music for my battle buddy

*  Not over do it at lunch. EEK!

*  Watch "The American" w/ Senor Clooney

*  Finish a book

Enjoy the day Divas!

Wild, Wild, Northwest!

Morning Divas!
So, there I was ... lounging in my ladies room, dealing with all that Maurice brought along with him this month. Outta somewhere I hear 6 rapid gun shots! Maurice stops being angry & starts being scared. I saunter over to my balcony door (I'm not horror movie curious. I always stay inside!) to listen for any voices or screaming. Hearing none, I grab my smarter than me phone & dial SAPD. "Alex" assures me they'll send someone out to investigates & asks if I wish to remain anonymous. Uhm... I don't really care, but I do care about a possible homicide in the neighborhood. FlapjackMyLife! Hopefully I won't have to give a statement of some sort on the news this morning. Of course, I'd put on a bra, earrings, and brush my teeth. Thus, eliminating my 11 seconds at being famous. They always choose the most wild looking "witnesses" to give their account of what happened. Anyhoo, gun shots are why you're getting this blog about an hour and a half earlier than normal.


Yesterday was relatively productive: juiced up SinnABurst, vacuumed and dusted, organized the shoes in my closet, found some more clothes to donate, & went for a walk. Unfortunately, I still do not know how to work the ALT functions in my new operating system, but I'll get there. No ab/arm work either. Today perhaps. Right now, I'm supposed to be at work until noon, but I'm claiming another sick day. Good thing too, `cause my belly nor Maurice really wanted me to miss out on the gun shots. 



Objectives for the Day:
- Saunter to the store for juice
- Take some paperwork to the graduate school admissions person
- Ensure I'm wearing a bra before becoming famous
- Catch up on my beau's, Jon, show
- Maybe see a movie


Go Get'em Divas! Enjoy the day!

Growl & Grit!

G'Morning Divas!


I am HUNGRY! Very hungry! I am watching the news, sipping water, hoping that eggs scramble themselves soon. And invite their friend, Smoked Sausage, over for a play [plate] date. I'm like man hungry for some reason. Anyhoo, yesterday was a great day in Austin. Didn't do as much walking as I'd hoped to do, but perhaps I'll make up for it today. My lap top now operates like new, I've got sound, and a new system to learn. GREAT! Have yall ever noticed that folks eating on fast food commercials take the smallest bites ever but have over dramatic chewing? Just ridiculous, really. Doesn't make me NOT want whatever sandwich being sold, though. Super sigh. Also not sure how I feel about Reba singing Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy" single. Odd.


Today:
+  Try to figure out my ALT keys in Linux
+  Walk & do some ab work & maybe some arm work
+  Re-fuel SinnABurst
+  Dust & vacuum... FOR REAL


Grateful For:
@ Sick Days
@ Wonderful friends
@ 101 days of Following Through
@ Hot tea


Enjoy the day Divas!

Makin' It Great!

Morning Divas!

I'm typing quickly as I'll be on a gal-pal conference call in 10 minutes while driving to Austin! WhootWhoot!
Yesterday was semi-eventful:  Shoes were mailed, delicious cheeseburger for lunch, car was vacuumed. I'll see if I can get to dusting my place today. Although, I've already done a load of laundry & re-coloured my tresses. I hope to get in some mini-fitness by walking about Austin and not just jabbing while sipping java. Uhm... I think that's all. Amazed? Yea, me too!

Enjoy the day Divas!

Whooped!

Guten Tag Divas!

I am whooped! Dog tired. (What does that even mean?!?!)  I think the 12-hour shifts are getting to me & I need to restructure my work schedule. It's soooo great to come in only 4 nights per week, but it's not worth it if I'll be this tired. Still no volume on my lap top. Caca crap! "Love & Other Drugs" was pretty decent. Jake is sexy. I didn't get Anne's eyebrows though. Didn't get around to push ups, but can do some here @ work. And the shoes are boxed up & ready to go. I almost accomplished 1/16th of my goals for yesterday. :-)  

Today, I have no idea what I'll accomplish & what I need to accomplish other than sending the shoes back. And dieting of course. Maybe actually picking up the swept pile of debris on my dining room floor. I have no idea as to why I'll sweep the dirt in to a pile & leave it there (with the broom to keep it company) for days! WHO does that?!?!  I vow to pick up the dirt today, dust & vacuum -- including my car, & just relax. There ya go! GOALS!

Enjoy the weekend Divas! TAPS, you look amazing! Ms. Awesome, I'm soo jealous of your vacation! Where are our other FT'ers these days? KimB? Alisa? Magic Mel? Annette on the Run? And I sure hope Elizabeth is doing alright!

Ten Bucks!

Good Morning Divas!
Yesterday on my 3-mile stroll, we crossed paths with a real live armadillo (that was just as freaked out by us as we were by it), a coral snake (gorgeous lil thang), 2 rabbits, and the usual infinite number of squirrels. If the government does indeed shut down & decides not to pay me, I'll head over to National Geographic and begin the Texas Parks edition. Because I encountered the armadillo after blogging about it, I was feeling lucky. Went out & bought me some lotto tickets. My walking partner told me that I absolutely had to go to a certain convenience store to by the lottery tickets: Shop & Joy. So there I am, in the parking lot scratchin' off like I had fleas. There were 2 hard core lotto junkies in the parking lot with me. They kept scratching, smoking, taking their cards in & exchanging them for more cards, and smoking ...repeat! Bananas! Won ten bucks. It's in my ash tray hiding out. Waiting for an opportune time to take advantage of some drive-thru goodness.  Uhm... lets see...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRIFIC TAPS!

Today, I hope to walk 3-miles again, do some push ups, really send the shoes back, and watch "Love and Other Drugs." Oh, and fix the volume on my freakin' laptop. In all my OCD'ness of trying not to have a virus, I deleted an important driver that obviously controls the volume. FlapjackMyLife!

Enjoy the day & weekend Divas!

Start Saving!

Greetings Divas!
So, as it turns out, watching movies @ work is BAD! Very bad. I kinda knew this, though. My boss's boss's boss said that I had to write a statement as to why I was using government property in such a manner. My boss kinda freaked out & told me to contact the union. Uhm...WTHADES?!?! I wrote the statement. Decided against contacting the union. And now...just waiting. My boss & her boss both chatted with me and reassured me that they have my back, front, sides, middle, etc... So, I'll just ride that "great employee" thing out. Meanwhile, you all can start saving .01% of your earnings to put toward my future jobless lifestyle. I'll be over here contemplating crafty and exciting gigs. Here's my list of possible jobs:

= Oil rigger
= Sharpie make-up stylist to all my cholitas out there
= Sweatsuit model
= Armadillo hunter

What do yall think? In real life, I have a feeling I'll be fine and get to keep my awesome job. But it's nice to have ideas of what could be next, right?!?!  Today's a regular 8-hour-shift for me, so I'll get my 3 mile walk in. I did a mini walk yesterday before dieting. Oh oh oh...Yall know how I'm always telling you I'm indecisive? Well, the Crabby Cancer struck again! I'm now considering a degree in nursing. SOMEONE help me! I'm a wishy-washy-partially-lost soul.  Finito.

Objectives of the Day:
♣  Walk
♣  Ab & arm work
♣  Think about returning new shoes (both pair are cute, but too similar)
♣  Enjoy the weather

Junk Food

I'm wondering if TAPS' Miss Bitchface is trying to sabotage me as well. All I've been wanting is junk food as of late. And being that I put willpower on the lay-away shelf at KMart, I had an Oreo Brownie Delight (or something like that) for dinner yesterday. It was superb! Today I won't get to walk my usual 3 miles, but I'll try to get in some sort of fitness. It's also the day I stay until noon, so...uh...we'll see if fitness turns in to dieting. Otherwise, I'm moving right along with plans to re-begin school again this fall. And I think my military benefits will pay for it. WhooHoo!  All the dirty days of basic training just might pay off. I'll keep ya posted. Meanwhile, I'll keep day dreaming of cake & hope it becomes a self-fulfilling REALITY!


Today:
♠  I'll gather up the remainder of my admissions requirements for the social work program
♠  Do some type of fitness, even if it's indoors
♠  I Won't O.D. on junk food
♠  Stay cheerful (I'm wearing bright yellow, so that should help!)

Windblown

Howdy Divas!


Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the Missions yesterday due to high winds. Today, the elements should be a bit more calm & I can enjoy myself on my cultural saunter. Wish me luck. To avoid the mad mane mini `fro from making a t.v. appearance, I was indoors much of the day. B.O.R.I.N.G.  I watched "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" (oh how I LOVE Kevin Spacey & John Cusack) for the first time and dieted. Dieted like there was a cash prize upon waking. Bananas! I figure I'll crash & burn today around 3pm. Perfect! When I reach AARP age, I'll be the most perfect senior citizen on the planet. Eat dinner at 4 and be in the bed by 6pm. Just to wake up at 3am and start yelling at fake roosters. Ahh...The life! 


Ladies, I just gotta say that I am so thrilled at the progress you've all made. There can't possibly be a more amazing group of women ANYWHERE. I look forward to the hilarious shenanigans that will take place upon our meeting. Keep on rockin' steady gals! 


Objectives for the Day:
♣  Really visit the Missions or some other cool place
♣  Set up an appointment with the campus VA to discuss funding my education
♣  Complete my FAFSA (you'd think I would've done this already being that I worked in financial aid for nearly a decade!!!)
♣  Walk & stretch & abs & arms
♣  Rock steady

Semi-Success

Good Morning Delights!


After blogging, I met a friend of mine for pie. Instead of pie, I had chicken tenders and fries. ALL of the fries!!! Not sure why I felt inclined to keep eating those dang tasty, slim-cut spuds. Perhaps it was the ranch & bbq sauces in which I dipped them. Either way... today I will do better with eating & get back outside to walking. It doesn't matter that the humidity will have my mane looking a complete mess... I gotta get out there! None of you make fun of me when they put the wildness on t.v. for "Scariest Mini `Fro in the U.S."

You've been warned. Which reminds me, I need to re-colour this madness.  I may or may not get to that today. Let's see... I really got nothin' too exciting to blog. On to Objectives...


To-Do Today:

Porker!

Divas!


You all know breakfast is my all time favorite meal & one of my favorite activities to enjoy. I've just done way tooooo much for the past 5 days. I think I went out to breakfast 4 of those 5 days! I'm quite the porker! Someone get me under control!!! PLEASE! Not sure what happened to my twice per month breakfast pledge, but I need to get back to it. Aye yi yi, I'm a mess. Anyhoo, I've also done absolutely no fitness in the past few days. Who am I? Did I get too settled with my 12lb loss? Maybe. But I know I've gotta step it up in the fitness area & tone it all the way down with the food consumption. I still think I can be down 10 more lbs by the time June is over & adopt a healthier eating lifestyle. 


Like Magic Mel, I revisited my old blogs to see what in hades I should've accomplished by now. I've got some hits, but a lot more misses. So, I've decided to just do better every day. My goal is to have a better day than the day before & get healthier (physically, financially, mentally, & spiritually) along the way. Of course, I'll still blog my daily to-do list & air my self-induced dramatic chaos. Thanks in advance for listening. :=)


By the by... It looks like I may begin my Masters in Social Work this fall! 


Enjoy the day Divas!


Today I Will:
♣  Consume a little less food
♣  Walk, do some push ups & sit ups
♣  Hopefully take my goddaughter shopping
♣  Choose my cultural activity for the week

What To Do, What To Do?

Howdy Divas!

Another uneventful blog, truly. Yesterday, I met my intentions and had brunch, hung out with a friend during his lunch hour, changed my sheets, even threw in a load of laundry. Now, I may have lost sight of who I really am - the gal who LOVES sleep - when I was doing all of those tasks. I didn't get the amount of sleep that I wanted & am heading to Austin today for breakfast right after work. Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of Kim B doing her marathon thang. At least I'll be hangin' with a fellow former Greyhound! YAY Big Green! After that breakfast, I may do some walking about the city unless I collapse from exhaustion. It could happen. That's a wrap! That's all I got.  My sincere apologies for the non-existent excitement. 

Today's Objectives:
♣  Try not to collapse in Austin
♣  Run my car through a car wash (it's pollen covered)
♣  Finish "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World"
♣  Another whirl through my closet in search of donatable items

Command The Day Divas!

I Got Nothin'!

Good Morning Delights!

Didn't get much accomplished yesterday. For some reason, I was just soooo dang tired. I did iron & visit the Holocaust Memorial. Lots of great, sad information. Did not buy groceries. Even after driving to the store. I assessed the parking lot & decided there were more people inside than I was ready to handle. I tapped SinnABurst on the steering wheel & she guided me home. She's better than Lassie I tell ya. Today, tomorrow, nor Sunday will I grocery shop. I'm a little too busy this weekend to be bothered with nourishment shopping. Let's hope I don't become too famished and gnaw off my pinky toe. Anyhoo, my goals for the day are limited due to me working a 12-hour shift. Well, almost. I'll leave @ 11 & go have brunch w/ my former supervisor. Then I'll swing by my old place of employment & enjoy the lunch hour with a friend of mine. (No worries... I won't eat again. At least I hope not!)  After all that madness, I'll be crashing and burning in the sheets I've yet to change. DamnitJanet, maybe I'll get the energy to at least change sheets. We'll see. That's all I got, Divas. Nothing too exciting with the exception of me possibly gnawing off a metatarsal.



Enjoy the day!
