Good Morning Glory's!
Didn't get much of anything accomplished yesterday. Went to lunch & ate bbq'd pulled pork sliders with chips. Deelish. No walk. No leg work. No nap. No Chocolat. I did sleep relatively well though. Today I'm heading to a cute little tea house for breakfast & then off to the farmer's market. I hope to get in some good walking there while taking in the goodness. You ladies need anything? I have Ms. Awesome's credit card & she gave us free reign. It's true. And even if I'm lying, she's passed out and/or hung over. Let's go wild! Oh, I've decided that I really do not like keeping a food journal. That's probably why I never follow through with one. Over it. Sorry Gals.
Today My Hopes Are To:
♥ Not over eat at breakfast
♥ Get some wonderful fruit from the market
♥ Saunter
♥ Enjoy the cloudy, humid weather to the best of my ability
♥ Sip vino later this evening
Own the day Divas!

A Bit More Than I Could Have...
Good Morning Divas!
Yesterday turned out to be pretty decent. Breakfast with a former co-worker/nurse was great. She gave me a wonderful compliment about my work ethic & it's just what I needed for the day's motivation. I did indeed get in a walk - just over 2 miles & some ab work on the fitness ball. I walked up to the antique store & I'm counting it as my cultural event. That's right! So many great ideas came to me while I was there that I may have to don my crafters cap soon & be artsy. I also [re]started a food journal and it turns out that I didn't do too much damage with my food choices. Today may be quite the opposite when I meet Senor Hotness for lunch at Mimis. Love that place. I'll check the menu in just a bit to ensure I get something somewhat healthy, yet filling. At the very worst, I'll eat only half the meal & bring the rest for lunch tonight. Cheers!
Objectives For The Day:
♀ Not get sucked in to doing overtime & go on my stroll
♀ Nap before lunch OR finish watching 'Chocolat.'
♀ Some leg work
♀ Diet well. I'm tired!

No Overachiever Here!
Good Morning Divas!
Why do I think there are so many more hours in the day than what I really have? By the time I finished my orientation at Meals on Wheels, it was nearly 2pm. And 2pm = DIET time. But, to prove I can accomplish more than one stinking thing during the day, I picked up one of the b-day gifts, watched the season finale of Community, and viewed my beau's (Jon Stewart) latest shows as well as his battle with Bill O'Reilly. I did get the stroll & push ups in. No ab work. No cultural event. No overachieving. But at least there were SOME achievements. Better than nada, no? Sure.
This evening/morning at work proved to be pretty chaotic. The 4 of us on this shift had an impromptu staff meeting that turned bananas within a few minutes. I remained Zenfully calm & tried to be neutral and offer solutions. We'll see what happens from here on out. (Have I ever mentioned that I love being a woman & think that women are fabulous in general BUT I don't like working with an all-woman team?!?! Bonkers!) Then there was a guy up that's always suicidal. Another hardly ever sleeps & just wants to drink java from 1a-forever a.m. A 3rd fella comes to me at 3'ish and says he pissed the bed & his foot hurts but he doesn't think it's the gout because the gout goes away when he takes his pills and that this is all abnormal and so on... Yowzuh! And he's just walkin' about barefoot this whole time. I so so so love the 3:00 chaos! Welcome to my world, Divas! Come in. The crazys just fine. Stay a while.
Today's Objectives:
♪ Begin food journal (thanks Ms. Magic)
♪ Some sort of fitness. My usual stroll won't happen because I'm going to breakfast right after work.
♪ A cultural something
Enjoy the day Divas!

The Little Capsule of Slumber Death!
Good Day Divas!
No Alamo for me yesterday. After my walk, I got to sneezing like a pepper-smelling horse. So, the smart gal that I am took a shower, popped two magical antihistamines, & crawled in to the sheets. Nine point five hours later, I wake up in a foggy haze and am still in that very state at 4 a.m. Let's hope today is more productive once these legal roofies wear off. I have my Meals On Wheels orientation today & I'm sure they'd rather not have me be under the influence of Benadryl. Or, as aforementioned, a legal roofie. I should be fine, right? Sure I shall.
I've not heard back from the high school counselors, but I recently realized it's the end of the year. What a tease I am for pimping myself out at the very end of the school year. Maybe they'll find something for me to do this summer. I'll keep you all posted on my Red Light Adventures of Volunteering.
Today's Objectives:
♣ Stroll, ab work, & push ups
♣ M.O.W. Orientation :)
♣ Something cultural, hopefully. I may try a museum today instead.
♣ Pick up a couple of birthday gifts.
Enjoy the day Divas!

Inspired
Hola Divas!
TAPS, I am so super thrilled for and proud of you for signing up for that 5k! And how fun will it be to do that with Papa Parsons?!?! Way to rock it sister. Made me want to start running again. Well, kinda. I don't like to run/jog particularly, but I am pretty decent at it after just a short time practicing. Hmm... We'll see where this leads me. Anyhoo, you all are doing fabulously & inspire me to be a bit more awesome by the day. I've still got another 5 lbs I want to be down by June, so I need discipline to insert itself in to my life. Like right now would be great! Thankfully, I gave away nearly half of the pie my mama made me. But I still need to eat a wee bit less than what I do now. That's my focus. More moving. Less eating. I've got the Facebook 5 (pounds) going on. DamnitJanet to FB!!! I know I'm a heathen, but it doesn't have to take me straight to hades at this very moment! Or does it? Either way... I vow to keep it moving throughout the day.
Today's Objectives:
♣ Visit the Alamo (I've lived here for a very long time & have never gone. Am I sad or what? No? Good. `Cause really, I just don't care that much about it.)
♣ Stroll a few miles & do some leg work
♣ View a movie
♣ Enjoy the weather
Enjoy the day Divas! Own it!

A Bit More Oriented
Good Morning Divas!
I think I'm more rested & ready to only break in to my own apartment from this point forward. Today should prove to be much more productive. Just in case, you all should keep your key-less deadbolts locked.
Without further chaos, I move on to Today's Objectives:
§ Grocery shopping
§ Deep condition the fro
§ Stroll & ab work
§ Tidy up my place. Ya know... Just in case someone wants to retaliate a breaking & entering scene.
§ Think about a possible road trip to Ohio next year
§ Shop for a swimming suit & new pants
§ Grab some diapers for one of my nurses who's having a baby
I think that's all. Divas, enjoy the day!

Piddlin' Around...
Howdy Divas!
Guess who did nothing on her list from yesterday! You're all x-word and Sudoku bright and have probably already figured out to point your pinkies my way. Winner! Winner! Pot Roast Dinner! I don't know what happened yesterday. I was so tired after work that I just wanted to shower & sleep upon arriving home. But the Creepy Monster had it in for me. I wasn't able to get in my place. The deadbolt was locked from inside. I'm thinking, "SHIZER! Someone's in my apartment just waiting to bludgeon me senseless with my very own Louisville slugger!" I go back down the stairs and wait in my car for a bit. Then go to the apartment office complex & dial the emergency #, which never gets answered. Decided that I was hungry & I also needed to pee really bad. Took myself to breakfast and called a few folks to say, "Hey, I might get beaten upon entering my apartment, so .... uhh... peace out." After eating, I felt braver. Went back to my apartment & opened the door with no trouble. Which leads me to Matlock this case as so: Carmen comes home from work. She's exhausted from cruising the interweb for 7 straight hours. She's also a bit parched and famished. She heads up the stairs to her apartment and finds she cannot get in. [Fast forward to 1.5 hours] Turns out, it wasn't her apartment after all. She was trying to get in to a neighbors place. Good thing it was early enough for them to be passed out and not see the fro'y chocolate girl pretend to break and enter. Finito.
I guess that's what happened. But, I'm not for certain. Either way, I'm inside my place with all of my belongings. Had a couple of visitors, lots of phone chatter, & a mini-trip out of town to have coffee with a friend. There was no time to be productively healthy. Today, I've walked my 3+ miles, had a wonderful breakfast, and saw "Bridesmaids." Do see it Divas! It's hilarious! I'll get to a movie in my Netflix queue and diet for a couple of hours. I'm tired!
Enjoy the day!
