Half Assed!

Guten Tag Divas! 


I half-assed my way through yesterday's goals & activities. Yea, I dusted, swept, vacuumed some areas, and cleaned the bathroom sink (only because I was doing my hair). I even shook out the rugs & pseudo-sanitized the floor. Did I clean out the tub/shower or toilet? Did I vacuum my bedroom after dusting? Did I wash the dishes in the sink? Nope is the answer to all of those questions. Half-assed my cleaning. And I knew I was half-assing it, too. I mean, how could I not know when the dishes are kinda staring at me, waiting for their turn to be sanitized. My vacuum is still out, as a matter of fact. Just waiting to roll in to my bedroom & prove its worth. Yesterday was also my 4th or 5th day with a dull headache & the onset of an upset belly, so I'll use that as an excuse for bringing home the Half Assed Blue Ribbon Prize! I even half-assed grocery shopped. Two different trips to different stores yielded these items: bananas, pears, a dozen chocolate chip & walnut cookies, eggs, 2 boxes of Cranberry Almond Crunch (you know I'm THRILLED about my CAC!), coffee creamer, and HEB brand lemon-lime drink. Yep. The staples of sustenance! Queue the theme song to "FAME" because I truly am gonna live forever! Ms. JennAwesome, there's no need for you to ice your back to feel well enough to come over and organize this madness...I think I can handle it. :-)   



Anyhoo, before my half-assed cleaning, I managed to hot oil & deep condition my `fro tresses. (The cleaning began during that process.) After the h-a'd cleaning, I showered, poured a glass of wine, made (more like semi-burned) some popcorn, & propped myself up to watch my all time crush's (Jon Stewart) show. Oh how I love The Daily Show & it probably loves me back. In a half-assed sort of way. 


Big GOAL of the Day:


GO FULL ASS AT EVERYTHING! 


Happy President's Day (bootleg holiday if you ask me) Divas! 


P/S:  Why is there a baby playing somewhere outside my balcony @ 4:26 a.m.???

Gettin' There...Inch by inch!

Mornin' Diva Delights!

I have gone clothes shopping for the past 2 days. I am noticeably smaller. Or so says the clothes I tried on & purchased. Hooray! I'm hoping to be down another 10 lbs by the end of June. That's gotta be totally do-able, right? I mean, yes... I may eat an entire German Chocolate cake when I visit Missouri in 2 weeks, but I should be able to walk it off at work. Uhm... sure, I will! The headache continues to throb mildly at my temples & I finally had to take an 800 mg IB prophin to ease the tension. My thoughts weren't qualifying for Daytona last night, so I suppose this wee bit of head pain is due to something else. Doesn't my noggin know that I don't have time for such pain?!?! Sheesh! Otherwise, I got in some good dieting & watched "3:10 to Yuma" & know that Christian Bale is waiting for me to join him in some high-thread-count sheets. YummmmEee!

For today:
↕  Clean my apartment
↕  Hot oil & deep condition my `fro & possibly have it trimmed.
↕  Buy groceries
↕  Enjoy the goodness about not having to work tonight. :-) 

Enjoy the day Beauties!

Disturbed Diet

Good Morning Divas!

Bob the Incompetent did me in & I wound up mailing my tax documents to an accountant my mother knows. Start your Good Vibe Sending Rituals now & wish for me to stay outta the pokie this year. I'm pretty sure I don't make enough loot to be audited, but ya never know. For the past 3 nights my dieting has been disturbed. Either by barking dogs, racing thoughts, or a headache in my temples! WTH is going on with me?!?!?  Well, my headache did disappear when I sent off my taxes. I think Uncle IRS was causing me underlying (or blatant) stress. Be gone Uncle IRS! I found my Army-issued earplugs, so I should be resting soundly soon. Now, if all the thoughts & ideas would quit treating my noggin like they're qualifying for Daytona 500, I'd be just dandy. Goal of the day...put speed bumps in my cerebral cortex! 

I think I've found a law firm to complete my Living Will/Advance Directive. Hooray! 

Other Goals for the day:
§  Enjoy a lovely breakfast with my friend's lovely mama. And possibly a mimosa!
§  DIET well!
§ Watch "3:10 to Yuma" 
§ Analyze the speedy thoughts & tackle them one at a time.

Have a fantastic Saturday & weekend Lovely Ladies!

By the by, I've decided that Rhianna isn't all that talented. :-\

Diet Crazy!

Hello Ladies!

While I didn't do too much yesterday, I barely squeezed in a few push ups and crunches. I was truly exhausted after work yesterday & today will likely be the same. Bleh. Tonight/Today at work, I'm going to work on amending my own taxes. I have this loco feeling that Uncle IRS will try to treat me like Willie Nelson and/or Wesley Snipes. C'mon Tio! I'm just a poor little black girl trying to make it through the year. Leave me alone. Someone needs to put that in a serenity prayer. Seriously. Oh, I also made myself two meals worth of fish and rice. Ole!

On to new goals:
↔  Amend taxes
↔  Advance Directive/Living Will (for real)
↔  Diet. Diet. Diet. I'm tired!
↔  Send tons of positive vibes out for KimB's friend, Roach, & for Annette's nephew & husband, & to Ms. JennAwesome's back, & to the Shimmy Sisters, Alisa & Gallant, & to TAPS cold to go away, & to Mel's soul, & to wonderful doc visits for Elizabeth.  Go get'em Girls!

Pretty Mundane

Good Mornin' Divas!

Nothing exciting to blog. Well, except for I finally found a place to recycle items since my apartment complex doesn't participate in a program. Hoo dee hoooo!  The nerd in me get's amp'd about recycling.


I did indeed do a load of laundry, my toilet tank was fixed, I sauntered about The Container Store & [later] up and down the halls at work, and only had a bowl & a half of Cranberry Almond Crunch. How do you spell success?!?!  C-A-R-M-E-N!  That's how it would be spelled if I were a school administrator at least. :-) 

I'm feeling far away from fitness & need to step it up in that area. So, I suppose today I'll do more walking than normal & some arm & ab work. Maybe I'll make something delicious, too. This cooking thing may just turn me in to Julia Childs' illegitimate half-granddaughter. We'll see.

TAPS, thanks for that great quote! Keep on rockin' ladies!

Today I Will:
»  Finish my living will/Advance Directive
»  DIET! (I'm really sleepy)
»  Fitness'y type activities
»  Talk a Vet out of suicidal ideations (I've already done this today! YAY!)

Tankini

Good Morning Bootylicious Babes! (Yea...I said it! I believe it!)


I've got nada mucho to blah blah blog and/or report. I ended up working a 12-hour shift yesterday, so no daily goals were achieved. Wait... I called my brother to wish him a merry cumpleanos! Today, I may or may not get much accomplished. Kinda feelin' like I should do stuff. And kinda feeling like I should eat an entire box of Cranberry Almond Crunch. We'll see how the day pans out. While "tankini" is this blogs subject, I have no specific or concrete thoughts about it. I mean, I prefer a tankini over a bikini or one-piece, but... yeah...uh...that's  about it. Right now, the tank of my toilet isn't refilling on its own & I'm slightly annoyed that I have to lift the tank lid & make that process happen manually. Tankini! This will be my profane word of the day. "It's gonna be warm as tankini out there today!"  How'd that sound? Dumb? Dull? Delirious? Anyhoo, I'll set some goals for the day:


µ  Not eat an entire box of CAC although it's the most delicious cereal around!
µ  Laundry - at least one load
µ  Stroll outdoors
µ  Bribe the maintenance fella to fix my tankini tank!


Here's a photo of me looking like Roger from American Dad. Really. Check the comparison.












Have a fantastic day!

Simplicity

Good Mornin' Divas!

Because I had no goals set  for myself yesterday, I can honestly say I accomplished EVERYTHING!  A full day of lounging & catching up on NBC shows. I did indeed do some walking, push ups, and crunches. I even bathed! Hooray for me! It was a perfect Valentine's Day! Love me some me. 

Today, I've got simple goals:
╙  Enjoy the weather
╙  Some sort of fitness
╙  Oil change & tire rotation
╙  Read
╙  Diet
╙  Wish my big brother a very happy birthday!

Enjoy the day Divas!
