WANTED: Amaretto!

Good Evening Delights! Surprisingly, I accomplished everything on my list. I walked, did some ab work, lifted weights, AND cleaned my apartment. Even installed a new make-shift coat rack in the not-really-a-closet space. Made lunch to hold me for a few days & caught up on The Daily Show & Modern Family. As tempted as I was to go to the Waffle House for breakfast this morning, I didn't! Made oatmeal w/ raisins and peanut butter toast instead. Yay me! My belly needs to become anorexic or something similar soon. It's just so...so... invasive the way it protrudes from my body. Crazy belly! My cousin called & left a message about her wedding next October. She asked if I "wanted to participate in it."  Haven't called her back for clarification as I think she's rushing in to this marriage & it's kinda a bad ideal. I called another cousin and asked if she got the same call. Nope! Dang it! I sure was hoping she would endure this madness with me. Cousin 2 seems to think I was asked because I've got the double-first-cousin thing going on. Did I ever tell yall that my dad's 2 sister's married 2 of my mom's brothers?!?! Yea. Nobody spread out. So I have double first cousins. Go ahead... take a few moments to process that information. Anyhoo, I guess I'll call back and say, "Sure!" Cause if I say "HELL NAW!", the entire family (BOTH sides) will be on my case. I would like some amaretto for my hot chocolate. Please. Thanks.

Objectives for Tomorrow & [maybe] the Week:
//  Submit the claim for my set cushions (my laptop's operating system doesn't allow for me to access the site, so I gotta do the claim at work)
//  Walk the track @ least 4x
//  Not get wrapped up in the work chatter chaos
//  Eat & diet well. I so LOVE sleep
//  Begin a new book since I lost the last one someplace
//  Get in some South Carolina culture one evening this week

Hope the weekend was fantastic for you all! Cheers!

Random Rants - 3rd Edition

Good Evening Delights!  Magic, I certainly hope your darling girl feels better really soon. TAPS, I'm all fantastic vibes to you & Ellison. Ms. Awesome, I absolutely LOVED your drunk blogging. Did you ever get a reply from the un-friended friend request? Hilarious! Annette, no need to rush back to the gym when you're sexy as is! Finito! Random Ranting begins in ... three ... two...NOW:

oo  My toilet makes the sound of a moaning man when I flush it. First I thought I was hearing toilet woes from the upstairs neighbors. But nope... it's my own toilet who/that/which has woes.
oo  It occasionally sounds as if a mouse lives in my refrigerator. Maybe there's one living behind it, but I think I'd see it by now. Maybe it's the Kia hamsters practicing for the next commercial. No se! And I'm not overly motivated to do a semi-thorough investigation.
oo  Beer is tasty.
oo  Maurice FINALLY stop hiding and appeared today. Explains why I've need 10-12 hours of sleep per night & have been pretty upset for not getting them; and why I ate everything I could last week; and went on a mini-shopping spree, which netted me a lace camisole. I don't wear lace! Maurice is part devil.
oo  Turns out the nice girl @ the hotel in Mississippi did not charge me for my nights stay. Think she felt a little bad for holding me hostage at the front desk when I was trying to check out? Perhaps. I love the `Sippi folk.

oo  Joss Stone has such a soulful voice. Wonder what happened to her. I know...ADELE happened!
oo  Please remind me to NEVER live on the 1st floor again unless it's a townhome. It super blows to listen to heavy-foot folk wrestle with Little People. Or whatever the heck they do up there.
oo  I can't say for certain, but I think the acne/rash medication is working.
oo  <== Sorry those look like breasts!

I think that's it for the randomness. Today I headed out to downtown Augusta to take in some culture. I was hoping to tour the Lucy Craft Laney Museum (http://www.lucycraftlaneymuseum.com/), but it wasn't open. Yes, the website says they'd be open, but jimminydangcrickets there was a sign on the door stating they're on break until later this month. By the by, I'm working on curbing my profanity. Buddha help me! And I know I said I was finished, but:
oo  I love "You'll Think of Me" by Keith Urban
oo  I watched "The Machinist" with Cute Christian Bale today. I do not recommend it to any of you.

Objectives for the Remainder of the Weekend:
®  Clean the madness that is my apartment
®  Walk, abs, & arms
®  Make lunch for the week
®  Try not to curse

Enjoy your evening and tomorrow!

Sofa Friday!

Howdy Delights! I am so super thrilled it's Friday that I just don't know what to do. Well, I do know what to do because my Get It Done Now list is quite lengthy. Instead, I'm plopped down on the sofa, watching crappy t.v. shows, & considering having a 2nd bowl of cereal. Not sure I have the motivation to pour another and then chew the contents. The post-work beer has me feeling tired. Anyhoo, I've been eating really shitty as of late & my belly and teeth probably hate me. So...ugh...beginning Sunday, I'll give better eating a whirl. And I think that my fitness routine can kick off then, too.

Today I had lunch with our receptionist who gave me all the office chatter I didn't want to hear. In only my 2nd week on the gig, I've already figured out my folks. And I'm opting not to get wrapped up in the madness. I really just want to learn my job and like it. Not much else. Wish me luck Delights. Until I have a sugar daddy or 2 in place, I cannot afford another move just yet. :)

Happy Weekend! Who's going to see the new Sherlock Holmes flick?

Lupus-less, Probably

Howdy Delights! Went to see the most friendly doctor yesterday @ the VA Hospital. And by friendly, I mean UN-friendly. She is from Croatia and doesn't give 3 damns about having a pleasant bedside manner. I worked around/past/over that & did get her to kinda laugh a few times. Anyhoo, she checked out the rash on my face & pretty much determined that I do not have Lupus. Which I pretty much determined also because my joints and bones and such do not cause me any grief. She ordered me some high-powered acne medication, lab work, and another x-ray of my foot. I may be fake healthy in no time! I'll go for lab work this morning before heading in to the office. By the by, my office folk are ALL ABOUT eating. It's freakin' bonkers. There were chocolates on my chair when I got there yesterday & another lil bag of them when I returned from the doctors office. Additionally, Ms. Rhonda brought in 2 boxes of bagels, 2 boxes of muffins, and a pan of her famous cheesecake. WTHades is going on here?!?! That was yesterday! On Monday, someone brought in cherry cheesecake. Tuesday, someone brought in sweet rolls. I'm gonna look like a sweet roll if I stay here for long. However, because I don't like cheesecake, I feel somewhat safe. I am also not the biggest fan of bagels - with the exception of the green chile bagel sold at VERY few Einsteins'. I hate half of a blueberry bagel and not one muffin. And I kinda LOVE muffins. I hovered over the goodies while munching an apple. JoyJuh is food joyous! The track outside our office is actually a 1.5mile track! Whoooo deeee hoooo! I can do 2 laps daily at lunch & feel pretty good about myself. Uhm... let's see... Not much else to report. Maurice is still hiding out & being shy. I'm sure he'll pick the most inopportune moment to jump on the scene and be all extroverted! Frigginass Maurice! Fall is a pretty season here & I'm thrilled to see changing leaves. Finito!

Today's Objectives:
=  Ab & arm work (this will happen prior to leaving the casa this morning)
=  Lunch stroll
=  Finish the claim for my missing seat cushions (yep, I've yet to complete this)
=  Not finish the box of chocolates on my desk
=  5 or 6 other little things I cannot think of right now

Own the Day Divas! Cheers!

It's Been Broughten!

Good Night Delights! This morning I washed dishes, folded clothes, & somehow managed to make it to work right on time. (Right on time is late to me, but I'm working on it!) This evening, I'm catching up on my beau's show, did a little house keeping, and finally began my claim for the missing seat cushions. I also began completing my travel voucher to be reimbursed mileage & hotel stay for my move. Oh...And I walked today @ lunch. OooohWee! Call me buttuh `cause I'm on a roll! Not like the avalanche-type roll that TAPS is workin' with, but I can hold my own. By the by... TAPS, you managed to one-up yourself again with the blog entry and your lifestyle. You rule my school! Best part of the day was actually doing some hands-on work! I sat at the desk & keyboard and counseled soldiers on their education benefits & options. My sponsor guided me through plugging in information, but I did a dandy job if I say so myself.

Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment. Not sure if it's just so I can meet my primary care physician or will we really get in to some issues. Either way, I'll be bringing up my on-going foot woes, the Lupus-like symptoms, and asking for a consult to dermatology to get rid of the rash on my face. I'll keep you gals posted on how all turns out. Now, my face doesn't look this bad, but why the hell is the photo so Michael Myers/Halloween'esque creepy?!?!?

Wish me luck! Good night Delights! Oh... goals for tomorrow: walk at lunch & have a good doctor's visit.

Bring it on, Maurice!

Good Evening Delights! I'm waiting on Maurice to show up already as I'm tired of being sleepy all the time. As a matter of fact, I'm about to go to bed here in a few minutes. Yep... By 8:30p! And my dishes need to be washed & clothes need to be folded. And I need to catch up on my beau's show. And some other stuff. But it aint gonna happen. None of it! Just wanted yall to be the first to know. You're my VIP Squad!

TAPS, we know you knocked'em dead at the condo meeting. Ms. Awesome, I want to know about The Beau/Boy! WE all want to know. Divas, enjoy the evening.

Ciao Cheers!

Pretty Close

Guten Abend Delights! I think I may have my apartment in the state at which it will stay (for a little while, at least) by the end of the evening. I've still gotta bathe, clear off the dining room table, and make my bed. I plan to have all of this completed by 9pm. I've got 2 hours. Who believes in me? You? You over there in the corner? YES! I'm gonna make it happen! That dining room table is a beast and a half. Not sure how that happened! If I can find my phone, I'll capture the chaos for you all. Guess who doesn't care that yall don't care to see it?!?! ME! I'm selfish like that on occasion.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to do much site/sight seeing this weekend. Okay, none at all. But I did learn that EVERY freakin' place is closed on Sundays in the south. It's a very spiritual/church-going part of the country & I'll just have to cram all my shenanigans in to weekdays. The south is gonna be interesting for this non-church going gal. What's wild is that I'm in very close proximity (within a mile) of maybe 3-4 sports bars. They're open on Sundays but a gal can't get her toes done! Ugh! This leads me to believe that I must go to a sports bar, find a semi-drunk southern gent, & convince him to give me a pedicure. Whoo hoo for jacked up painted piggies!

Okay, the table really has improved. I swear. I'm finishing up the chaos in my room & will get this table together. Then...The shower wants me! I'd hate to change my sheets with my dirty gear on. Kinda defeats the purpose. Plus, I'm not in Basic Training any more. Yes, Divas, I got in clean sheets with a durrrty body while in Basic Training. It was for the good of the country. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

Anyhoo, hope this weekend found you all in decent spirits. Cheers!
