Howdy Divas!
Have I mentioned how much I'm enjoying working eight-hour-shifts again?!?!? Lovin' it more than Justin T. loves singing the McDonalds theme music. I get a lot more accomplished during the day. Well...a lot more when I'm NOT on frigginassFacebook! I'm making a deal with myself that I cannot log on until I've done at least 2-3 things on my daily list. Wish me luck! Anyhoo, I didn't get a walk in yesterday as I went straight to the dentist post trabajo. Wanna know what I learned? No? Doesn't matter. I'm gonna tell you anyway! As previously mentioned, my hygienist is way too chatty and here goes the supposed-to-be-20-minute-cleaning-that-turned-in-to-a-hour-lying-back-on-the-chaise-with-my-mouth-agape experience: "There's a rep that comes trying to sell us stuff every 7-10 days and we just run. The new doc is Russian and she just says what she means and she's not mean but it comes out like that sometimes. My ex called me one night around Christmas and asked why my garage door was up and did I know there was a black truck in my driveway. He still stalks me and my boyfriend is sick of it. My boyfriend is a Ranger. Basically he's a trained killer...sniper. He doesn't bring home what he kills when hunting, he just hunts for the kill. My ex-mother-in-law still comes to see me and I try not to rub it in her face that I'm with someone else. My hip and back hurt from something I did at the gym yesterday. [proceeds to push her backside up against the wall and stretch] Oooh that feels good. I learned in high school that I can pop my hip back in to place. I'm trying not to go crazy. I think I'm gonna have electrolysis on my underarms. I hate shaving my underarms. I've had my nose and boobs done." This is just a SNIPPET of how it feels to have Lisa as the woman who cleans your teeth. I had no energy to walk after that & just showered, threw on some clothes, and drove to pick up my former neighbor for lunch. Patsy freakin' ROCKS! She's gotta be close to 70 but wants us to get in to some fun. Like go jet skiing in the buff. Yep. You read it here 1st ladies. :-) All in all, the day was semi-eventful even with all of Lisa's loose lip service. Moving onward!
Today's Objectives:
☼ Go grocery shopping (which I absolutely DO NOT love to do on Saturday's)
== This just in: I've decided to push grocery shopping back a day. I'll go Sunday morning around 6'ish.
☼ Go for a stroll
☼ DIET! I'm sleepy.
☼ Watch something in my Netflix queue
☼ Possibly cut a rug at a graduation party
Enjoy the weekend Divas! Own it!

Giving This A Whirl!
Hola Divas!
Been checking in to this Blogger thing most of the day to see if it's workin'. We'll see. And since it's my bed time, I don't know that I can list Goals of the Day! But they would go something like this:
* Have a 2 hour lunch full of chuckles with my former neighbor.
* Get my teeth cleaned by my much too chatty hygienist.
* Finish "Blue Valentine."
* Compose a list of spirits that we want stocked in our Hawaii hotel room.
* Reluctantly do push ups and sit ups because I did not walk today!
Hope the day is treating you regally Divas! Enjoy!

My Caboose Is Loose!
Good Morning Divas!
Well, my caboose is in gear & I'm chugging along slowly. I emailed Meals on Wheels & 2 high schools. One counselor wrote me back & is excited about my willingness to help students prepare for college and/or work. I also registered for a computer class. Chug chug chug. Watch my caboose wiggle. I didn't get a chance to check in on my former neighbor, but she'll be a priority today. Maurice reared his pretty head before I could purchase wine. Vino is #2 priority of the day. :-) Not that I drink vino because Maurice is here, I drink it because I like the taste. Yum yum gimme some! Oh... I also remembered that it's because of Mr. Maurice that I've gained a few pounds. He and his pounds will go away in 3 days. Ole!
Objectives for the Day:
§ Stroll - as long as there's not a torrential down pour
§ Contact my neighbor
§ Get some vino (maybe that will be my stroll time)
§ Ab work
§ Hope like mad for rain! Cross your eyes, toes, and fingers for San Tony ladies!
Enjoy the day Divas! Make it shake! Get your caboose's loose!

Re-Focusing!
Good Morning Delights!
I realized yesterday that I'm back to half-assing some goals/areas in my life and I need to re-focus and re-assess priorities. I've not done anything cultural in quite some time & still want to get in an event weekly. However, in re-assessing and re-thinking, every week may not be do-able but I can certainly get in 2 cultural events per month. I also need to do some sort of community give back and am looking at Meals on Wheels and mentoring high school kiddos. My plan is to meet with a couple of principals and/or counselors within the next week. I think I gained a few pounds back, too. While I'm very satisfied with my overall fitness progress, I have got to RE-FOCUS! I also want to learn a lot more about computer networking & programming & such. There are some community education classes offered relatively cheaply at some of the high schools. So, like Gallant, I'll jot down attainable goals/To-Do's on a calendar and work forward. I'm a realist and know every day won't go as planned, but I still need structure. Damn that military training of mine! :-) And guess what else I've discovered and re-discovered and keep discovering!?!?! Facebook consumes a ton of my time! I may have to go on another hiatus. I was so much more productive when it was semi-absent from my life. [Shaking my fist at Zuckerburg!] (She looks as close to me as Google could get):
Objectives of the Day/Week:
♣ Contact 2 high schools & Meals on Wheels (yes, even with today's gas prices!)
♣ Get in touch w/ my elderly neighbor & see how she's doing
♣ Register for a computer class
♣ Walk a lot!
♣ Buy some wine (Maurice will want some when he arrives)
♣ Remain positive!

What Day Is This?
Good Morning Divas!
Congrats to Ms. Annette & her hubby! Keep us posted on the development and diet and doggone good stuff! ♥
I still have nothin' much to bleh bleh blog. I'm a little sleepy & had very wild dreams last night. Somewhere in there the most clever comeback I had for someone was "get outta here fatty" and later folks were stealing my old college car, Boogie Nights. They started out as Thriller-like gobblins & then transformed in to real people. Weird stuff. I was also in an all-glass shower in a building made of windows. So, some dude was walking around the building trying to get in and/or get at me while showering. When I hopped out, there were a bunch of Navy folk milling about the lobby (they couldn't see me shower for some reason) but they wouldn't protect me from the crazy guy. He gets in the building and whips out his penis which has lacerations. (I apologize for being that graphic) The nutty thing - as if this isn't ALL nutty! - is that when he was outside the building, he was a white guy. Once he got inside, he was a black guy. Bizarre. Same for the ghosts/gobblins that were jacking Boogie Nights. There ya go ladies. Work with all of that madness!
Today's Objectives:
♣ Walk
♣ Leg work
♣ Watch a movie
♣ Diet early
♣ Wait on flippin Maurice!
Enjoy the Day Divas!

Good Day Divas!
I haven't much to day except that I hope yall have a productive, healthy, less-stress-than-yesterday, and courageous day. TAPS, I know today will be sunny & full of chuckles. Ms. Awesome, I'm still basking in your glow of amazing courage & excited about your NY future. Magic, Alisa, Nichole, Kims, Annette, & Gallant...what's shimmying with you gals? Looking forward to hearing from you.
I kinda rocked yesterday out! Accomplished everything but the library trip, which will happen today. After a week away from my strolling partner, we're getting back in motion this a.m. & I am charged. What else I'll accomplish today remains a mystery. You know I still have those 37 pesky items to complete; listed on several sticky notes tucked here & there. But truly, I just wanna stay in the bed. THAT'S how I know Maurice is on the horizon: I'm continuously tired, more forgetful, and somewhat pissy while PMS'ing. The absolute joys of womanhood are to die for. Anyhoo, there's gotta be something, anything, one thing I can also accomplish today. Let's see...
Goals for the Day:
∞ Not eat in PMS fashion
∞ Ab work & push ups
∞ Library trip
∞ Part-time job search (I'll most likely do this at work tonight)
∞ Begin a new book
∞ Maintain a positive outlook
Enjoy the day Divas! Own it!

No Title
Morning Delights!
Still feeling kinda bleh about work & recent events. I know it'll pass, probably sooner than expected, but I'd just like some positive perspective. Like RIGHT NOW! I journaled about how I contributed to this situation and what I gotta do to move forward. It will happen. It will take work and time and scary moments. But it will, indeed, happen. Thank yall for listening & for providing wonderful feedback. I appreciate it more than you could imagine. The funny me is on the mend & will be hitting a blog near you soon. Stay tuned.
Somehow, I'm still losing inches and pounds. Hooray! Although I've been quite the slacker lately. I think getting off work @ 8 and going for my regular strolls are just what I need. So, with that said... I need to crawl out of these sheets & throw on walking wear & hit the streets. I then need to clean up my apartment, finish a book, stop by the library, rest, head to dinner at a friends, and finish the evening with a catch-up call. Why is adulthood so very taxing? Judas priest... I'm tired just thinking about all of this.
Divas, thanks again. Happy Mama's Day to you all!
