Bananas!

Good Morning Delights!

** GO GO GET'EM TAPS & MAGIC! ROCK THE RACE!! **

The Hangover II is bananas! Same story, yet they still made it wildly funny. It doesn't one-up the original, but still enjoyable. Pants shopping sucks. I need a personal tailor. And I'm pretty sure Annette gave me some of her pregnancy hunger syndrome. I'm freaking hungry all the freakin' time. What's a gal to do? Eat. Walk. That's what!  ### Disclaimer: This is a graphic/gross piece of blogging! ###  One of the nurses I work with has a foul crotch smell. And she freakin' pisses on the toilet seat on a regular basis. Do I let it go? Or do I say something? WWTFTGD?!?!  It's gross all around. How do you not know that you've got something amiss going on in your crotch?!?!  S.O.S.!!!

Enough of that, if you're not a person who is easily offended, might I suggest picking up a copy of Adam Carolla's 'In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks.'  By far, this is the most comical book I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Genius!

Goals of the Day:
♥♥♥ Cheer for Theresa & Mel on their race ♥♥♥







♣  Put Hookin' clothes in to a suitcase
♣  Continue the search for good work pants
♣  Research another computer (or something interesting) class to take
♣  Some sort of fitness

Island Fever!

Howdy Divas!
Yesterday was pretty decent. The walk was brisk & steady. My partner (and her dog, Rusty) is (are) getting better by the day. Didn't make any great connections in my computer class, but it was good information. I think I'm going to be a community education junkie! Take my red light & shingle down from my Facebook page & hang it up over Adult/Community Education sites all over the city.  Plus, you always get to encounter that one weird guy. Why the hell would you take a computer class of ANY sort at a computer lab & then bring your own laptop?!?! Of course he wasn't connected to the network we were all using and had a virus on his machine, thus causing him to ask nutty questions and slow down the process. And for some reason he had a straw hat hanging on his monitor. Odd fella. I'd leave him off my team on any game show that required a team. [Exhale]  Gals, I am so ready to go to Hawaii, it's not even funny. I work for the next 5 nights (it would've been 9 consecutive had I not called in sick Wednesday night) & will be seeking umbrella drinks at their completion. Here's to hoping I look decent in a swimsuit. Not that it matters, `cause... well, because it just don't matter! :)  It's vacation time! Let the packing begin! By the by, the Social Work program said they'll have a decision for me in 1-2 weeks. Busters! Hopefully, I'm still interested by then. ;-)  I just finished watching "From Prada to Nada" and it made me happy & reminded me of great friends in NM & some I've made here & how great families can be when necessary.

Today's Goals Are As Follows:
§  Walk, abs, arms
§  Hangover II
§  Research spas for my b-day weekend
§  Begin laundry & packing for Hooking in Hawaii
§  Diet well. I'm a wee bit tired.

Enjoy the day Divas!

What To Do?

Good Morning Delights!
I'm not sure if I won the more activity/less caloric consumption battle yesterday. But at least I did get out to walk & did some ab work. And folks are making "skinny" comments to me, so that must mean progress right?!?  Sure. Can you believe the trickery of movie theaters?!?! The Hangover II doesn't really start until today. And I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to see that movie AND drop off diapers to one of my nurses AND get enough sleep. DamnitJanet! I think I'm going to have to sacrifice a little bit of sleep. If I wait until tomorrow to see this movie, the theaters will be crowded. Bleh. WWTFTGD (WhatWouldTheFollowThroughGroupDo)?!?!? 


* I detest gnats! I don't think there's an insect that creeps me out more than a gnat!
* I'm weighing in at 145 pounds. 20 pounds less than that late September foto on our group page. I am proud of the progress & am aiming for another 5-10lb loss. At least 5 more by the time the reunion rolls around. 
* I go to training to volunteer with the Fisher House on June 1. Whooo hoo! It'll be a busy summer for me when taking on Meals on Wheels & the Fisher House, but I'm excited! 
* My hair is growing like a weed. I think I can twist it again, now. More work for the natural gal. Sheesh! (Remind me to give you all a lesson in black hair care someday!)


Anyhoo, I wanna give a shout out to TAPS! Enjoy the Duke City & best wishes to you, your pops, and Magic Mel tomorrow on the race. 


Today I Will:
:: Stroll & do some leg work
:: Go to my computer class & make great connections!
:: Drop off diapers AND see Hangover
** Okay, this just in... I can go see the movie on Friday @ 10:30 a.m.! Done DEAL!
::  Enjoy the break from the humid weather

Breakfast = Downfall

Good Morning Divas!
I didn't walk yesterday & made a quarter-assed attempt at leg work. Read: Did some calf raises as I was brushing my teeth. Anyhoo, I went to breakfast and ate heartily. I didn't finish everything on my plate & took home the delicious muffin, but I did indeed eat well. And I had a hibiscus (champagne mixed with cranberry juice). Breakfast was delightful. And I'm very well aware that if I continue to eat breakfast like I have been lately, these last 5-10 pounds are destined to stay with me. But I absolutely LOVE breakfast. Know what that means? Take a guess. [Jeopardy theme music playing]
                   It's highly unlikely that I'll stop indulging in breakfast. I've just gotta burn more calories. I think that's easier for me to do than easing up on breakfast. Wish me luck.

Goals for the Day:
♫  Burn a ton of calories. Or just more than I intake.
♫  Go see The Hangover II
♫  Contact the Social Work program about my admission status. Still no word from those jokers!
♫  Enjoy simplicity & happiness

Just About...

Morning Glory's!
I completed just about everything on my list from yesterday with the exception of jotting down random thoughts. The walk was good & breakfast was great. And I get to do it all over again today with a different friend. Breakfast loves me & this extra 5lbs that Maurice was supposed to take with him. I've got nothing exciting nor profound to blog. I do wish safe travels to TAPS & The Cute-A. Enjoy ABQ & cry when you see your folks. That's what it's all about, sister! Gallant, we look forward to reading from you soon. Ole!

Today I Shall:
♣  Stroll & do leg work
♣  Enjoy a lively catch up breakfast w/ my ex-beau
♣  Fax over my volunteer application to the Fisher House
♣  Try to stay cool. It's going to be near 100 degrees today!

Thankful that my MO fam & friends are doing alright. Sending well wishes to those in Joplin.

Hola Delights!
Yesterday was productive & I accomplished lots. I snatched up 2 new summer dresses & replaced my shower head with one that massage away all my sweaty tension. I started to get the itch to move AGAIN! Maybe because it's just so freakin' hot here in San Tony that I'm wishing for cooler climates. Colorado Springs living crept back in to my psyche. I really liked living there. It was peaceful and pretty. I'll keep yall posted. Someday, I'll sit my derriere still. Maybe. Maybe not. 


Today I Shall:
♪ Walk a few miles & do some ab & arm work
♪ Have breakfast w/ a member of my support system
♪ Check in on my family & friends in Missouri who may have been affected by storms
♪ Clean my floors! YIKES!
♪ Job search
♪ Jot down my random thoughts. They're running amuck in my noggin.


Enjoy the day Divas!

Wonderful Perfectless Day!

Greetings!
Breakfast with the gals was fantastic yesterday. So fantastic that it went on for 4.5 hours before we all realized we were hungry for lunch and headed down the block for Mexican fare & swirly margaritas. Good thing I decided I don't like keeping a diary of what I eat. Would've been a not-so-good entry for the day. Doesn't mean I won't be conscientious of what I intake, I just don't wanna log it or blog it.  No walking the farmers market, but that's just as well. I truly had a wonderful day with these gals. I finally made it home by 3:30, showered & passed out until midnight/one'ish. Tah dah! Here I am! I was presented with another great volunteer opportunity that I'll look in to. I've been wanting to do something with the Fisher House (http://www.fisherhouse.org/) for a long time & I think I may get my chance. We'll see how it shakes down. Before long, I'll be the type of woman that I've admired for so long. 


Today I Shall:
>  Clean my bathroom & living room
>  Vacuum out SinnABurst. She's looking kinda bummish.
>  Try to contact an old Army buddy of mine
>  Walk! I've not sauntered for 3 days. It misses me.
>  Recycle. By the by, my apartment complex is beginning a recycling program this fall. YAY!
