Shaken & Stirred!

Good Morning Team! I'm movin and groovin' this morning & looking forward to the 3 mile walk with the MeetUp folks. What else will I get in to today? Hmm... maybe some shopping for dining room chairs and/or cushions for said chairs. My cash came in & I'm ready to sit down! Whoo hooo! Ladies, there's gotta be a way for all of us to convene & celebrate our year anniversary and all of our successes. Seems that ABQ is what ties us all together, so let's make a plan & get there. Who's with me?!?!? I wanna see those hands go up! Hey hey hey... Can someone take me to Paula Deen's restaurant? Please. Thanks. I bought some stock in Southwest Airlines, so if you all could fly them as much as possible I'd greatly appreciate it. My plan to start an all-gals investment group may kick off by 1 February. And I want to be wealthy by 2 February! Do-able? I think so. :)

Magic ~ Congrats on rockin' your sales all year & winning the trip to Mexico! You are so so so freakin' awesome, talented, and sexy that NOBODY else could've gotten 1st place!
    TAPS ~ Take it easy on yourself for eating some junk now & then. Your dedication to fitness is burning all of those delicious calories away & you're as fit and fine as all of the Pointer Sister's combined. Plus, I can out junk food eat you on any given day if you wanna compete.
  Ms. Awesome ~ YOU.ARE.AWESOME. Finito!
Annette ~  I know you're in a rush to get back to el gimnasio, but I bet caring for Sweet Baby E is getting you some exercise. We all know you're still more fit than 90% of the nation even post-baby. I haven't had a baby & am quite certain that you'll out run, out lift, out everything me with no effort!

Goals for the Day:
= Enjoy the saunter w/ some new folks
= Ab & arm work (CHECK)
= A load or 2 of laundry (CHECK)
= A little bit of this and a lot of that
= Remain positive & focused

Enjoy the weekend Gals! March around your living rooms in honor of Dr. King.
Cheers!

An Ice Cube Sort of Day

Hey Gals! Today was a good day. There was 30 minutes of productivity and many, many hours of just madness. Topped off with the tastiest three dollar sangria ever made. This may be blog full of random babble thanks to that $3 liquid party! I gave my mom & brother the number to my desk phone. And wouldn't ya know they both called today. Like they needed proof that I have a job. My sponsor is still swearing there's some sort of conspiracy that Dirk Nowitzki's (ball player for the Dallas Mavericks) going to impregnate Michelle Obama & there will be a half-German communist baby in the White House. This same fella has also dubbed Kanye West the most profound speaker for the Black community! He freakin' cracks me up on a daily basis. I shed my Coolio'esque twists this morning & looked more like Wanda Sykes by the time I got to work. Yay!

Well, minus the make-up & my freakin' breasts are still present. I did do several minutes of cardio & ab work this morning. And I hope to repeat the actions tomorrow. Tonight I had Mexican food, Georgia style. And I say this to you gals because I care deeply for each of you: Never do this. Not that it was bad, but as native New Mexican's, you'll be unhappy with JoyJexican food. Yes, I made up that word. I must shower now & enjoy some good sangria sleep.

Goodnight Delights!

Coolio!

Good Evening Delights! I just finished twisting my hair & I do indeed look Coolio'ish! Yall remember him right? Here's your refresher:

Is it just me, or does he look a little like my fantastic fella, Andre 3000??!?  Concentrate on the face & pretend his mouth is saying "Heeeeeey Yaaaah!" & you can see what I see. My receptionist apologized to me today for how we ended our week last Friday. The relationship is restored like a `57 Chevy. Do I really know what that means? Nope. Somehow, I still go to work and do a whole lotta nothin'. It's getting close to the level of ridiculous. Today, I counseled 2 soldiers, made travel arrangements for Orlando, watched the Daily Show & a couple of music videos, watched one of Charles Barkley's skits from this past weekend's Saturday Night Live, and walked about the office. It was too muddy to walk the track, but I'm sure I made a few good laps about the building. Oh, the nutty government wants me to DRIVE to Orlando for this conference. Uh... I don't wanna do that. Who the heck wants to drive to a conference in to the busiest scene of Orlando & return on long, nothing-to-see roads?!?!? Hint: I am not raising my hand! I think I'll buy my own plane ticket being that it cost less than what they're going to pay  me for mileage and per diem. I'll still come out on top! I like being on... wait. Sorry. Different type of blog. Anyhoo, it's a long weekend for us, of course. Friday is an optional work day & we're off on Monday. The goal is to do some MeetingUp; visit with my cousin to discuss wedding plans; and relax. Wish me luck! I'm sleepy!


Objectives for Tomorrow:
= Cardio & ab work
= Wear my cowboy/cowgirl boots
= Schedule a massage. My body is hollering at me!
= Keep smiling. Just like Deionne, Gladys, Elton, and Stevie sang so many years ago
= Shimmy

Cheers Delights!

Up-Down-Up-Down!

Good Evening Glory's! The downer talk I had with myself yesterday quickly turned to a pep talk. And today, I had another downer chat. Then upper. Down. Up. Hand on my hip. When I dip, you dip. And so on. The receptionist has taken a childish stance and has decided not to speak to me. Really? What are you... like TWELVE!?!? It'll make for interesting days ahead. I need her to act right. And might I say, I need her to act right quickly. Blah blah blah.

On to the positives:
=  I learned a little more about my job today
=  I get to listen to music all day at work. YAY!
=  SinnABurst is now better aligned. No longer having seizures on the road.
=  Getting fresh air for even a few minutes today
=  Helping a Soldier decide on a career

Tomorrow:
More of the same

Enjoy the Day Delights!

Not Feelin' It!

Hi Delights! I need you all to talk me off of/away from the ledge. While it's only been one month in GA, I'm just not feeling the culture of the people. And I REALLY need to like the people in place in order to thrive & survive. Maybe it's just the folks I work among, but I really believe that GA is still (and probably always will be) a very racist state. And everyone's racist! That's the kicker. Okay, not EVERYONE, but the black people I work with make just as many anti-white comments as the white people making anti-anybody comments. Freakin' bonkers! The realist in me knows that I've got to give this place some time, go out and meet tons of non-Georgian's, & do my job to the best of my ability. Although, my supervisor and her non-supervising self is setting me up for failure. Not on purpose, but that doesn't matter at the end of the  week when her boss is asking me questions about stuff I should know.  :-\  Super frustrating. Either way, I do not tolerate bigotry and racism well. A lady told me the other day that homosexuality is an "abomination of the lord!" WTHades?!?! Ugh! Help me, Divas! Rub the belly of my gay Buddha statue and conjure me up some assistance. :-)

Anyhoo, I had a decent walk today with the MeetUp folks. Only 2 ladies showed up, one of which was really friendly & chatty. The other, the group coordinator, seems to be nice, but was preoccupied with her sick dog, Belle. I'll stroll again with them on Tuesday perhaps & see if the interaction is better.  Meanwhile, I'll heavily consider what my next move should be - if any. I miss speaking with intelligent folks on a regular basis. Thankfully, the 2 walkers today have very good sense. And seem non-judgmental. Of course, neither of them are from here!

Ms. Awesome, good luck on your 1st run tomorrow. And remember, it's always painful to run in such a high elevation, but once you can... You're un-catchable! TAPS, here's to acting opportunities and some meaningful part-time work. Annette, you're being the best mommy that you can be. Keep on pushin'!

Happy Sunday Delights!

Positive Post!

Good Day Beauties! Just wanted throw out a positive post of thanks for you all and others. Here are my grateful's for the week:

+  Having a truly dear BFF who keeps me lifted when necessary and in tears laughing on many occasions. I know I literally stopped breathing the other day while laughing. Fantastic!

+  Finding the novel I was reading was still at the nail salon. And I was able to pick up where I left off & not start over.
+  Joining the MeetUp groups. Although I got lost today in search of the location, I discovered a lake in the middle of the city to walk around instead. Gorgeous!

+  Professionally stating my expectations & weathering the unprofessional response I received.
+  Having this wonderful avenue of which to express myself. Thanks FTC'ers!
+  Freakin' Elaine Benes saying, "The dingo ate yo' baby!" had me in tears this week. Love her!

+  Green toes
+  Hanging in there!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Thanks for all that you give me!  Cheers!

Money Foots!

Howdy Beauties! I walked today and it was fabulous. Oh how I love to walk. Do I love it enough to walk 7 miles on Saturday with the new MeetUp group? Hopefully! Alas, I've agreed to have a prosperous year in fitness and finance. Today I bought/traded my 1st stock. And I have NO clue as to what I did and really how to track its progress, but I hope it makes me some money every month. Going with my gut on that one. To add to my luck, I got a pedicure today and got my piggies painted verde! Oww!

Check out the cash toes bay-bee! These will bring me money all year. Right? Believe in me, Gals! I'll share the loot. I swear. Anyhoo, I did some ab and arm work today & ate relatively healthy. Until this handful of potato chips I just scarfed down. Maybe I'll burn them off during the process of me changing my sheets. Yall know how that makes me batty!

Goals for Manana:
+  Walk
+  Possibly get an alignment for Sinn
+  Just maybe shave my legs
+  Turn off my alarm & just enjoy that it's Friday!
+  Charm the soon-to-be sweet papa in to getting me a spa day

Cheers Delights!
