Sofa Island - Take Two!

Good Day Glories! I've spent most of the day on my sofa of an island. Sure, I've bathed but even cut that short because I had to pee. While that wouldn't be an issue usually, today I actually took a bath (not that it's the first time I've taken a bath, but...) and it would've just been wrong to pee in my lavender salts & bubble bath. So, I had to scrub real fast & hop out. By the by, I don't like to sit on the toilet when my bum is wet. [Think peeling down your bathing suit real fast because you've gotta pee.] I did make it outta the house to get a few items at the store, walked a couple miles, washed my dishes, finally put away laundry, and faked productivity perusing the web. In between gabbing on the phone, watching all the episodes of  "Louie" (Louie C.K. is hilarious & wrong), I've just watched the rain come down all day while eating Cranberry Almond Crunch, pizza, apples w/ peanut butter, etc... What a great island day & I've still got 4 hours until I pass out. I'd say save me, but I'm kinda digging it here. I would like to ask a favor to each and any of you who will know me in my late 60's (no pressure, I doubt I'll live that long):  Please ensure that the paint and/or wallpaper in my bathroom isn't peeling off the walls. Also, don't let me put on my own lipstick, `cause we know it'll look a smoldering mess. And please oh please have someone shave my veiny legs. That's all for today. Thanks.

Today's Objectives:

Stay on the island until I pass out

To Ms. Awesome

... Come do my hair! Yea YOU! Get on over here and do my hair. Wash, condition, twist, dry, un-twist, and fro it out. It's your time to not shine by doing wonders to my fro.

Good Evening Delights! I'm watching some nutty show called The Network or maybe it's just Network. Anyone seen this fella? He finds failing modeling agencies and turns them around. Brutally good. Good thing I've had spiked java to keep me awake and put me to sleep after this madness. Anyhoo, today was a craptacular eating day complete with Cinnabon Minis, a couple slices of pizza, wee bit of fruit, yogurt w/ granola, etc... Randomly ridiculous. Didn't walk, but pretty much did a full work out before going to the office. Manana I will walk before going to see Red Tails. By the by:  Go see Red Tails this weekend. Also, think about going to NM at the end of June. I'll be there. TAPS, wait for me.  :-)  Bring a brother in law or have one of your brothers there in waiting. Your mama will be thrilled. Cross your fingers that the VA has my education benefits paperwork finished by the time I'm ready to attend my 1st coding class. Also, click your heels 3x as good luck for me finding a shugga papa. Thanks.

Have a great weekend Divas! Cheers!

Quell the Lumberjack!

Hey Gals! The Lumberjack has made a return. He ordered a large meat pizza & had a goo gob of potato chips while waiting on the delivery. Someone should really quell that sucker. I'm getting larger just by being near him. YOWZUH! I'll have one more... I mean, I'll let him eat one more slice before I put it in the fridge. Maybe I'll do some walking in circles prior to going to sleep. That should help, right? Ehh....

Modern Family is just so so so dang hilarious. My boss somehow managed to one up herself & over proved that she does NO work and has no plan to do so. WTHades?!?!? I'm getting more comfortable at my job, thanks to [an uncensored] Google. Seinfeld's parents are funny, but not as funny as George's peeps. ** This just in:  I'm am STUFFED! Freakin' Lumberjack! **  I wanna go zip lining. Who's with me? Anyhoo, no more ranting. Read this if ya like: http://galtime.com/article/positive-thinking/48258/23697/8-steps-attract-positive-energy-your-life

Goals for Tomorrow:
%  Walk, abs, arms
%  Some other stuff
%  Be thrilled that it's Friday
%  Not overeat
%  Chuckle

Cheers!

50%'ish isn't too bad

Good Afternoon Glories! Yesterday, I might have accomplished roughly half of what I set out to do. Did spend money at the discount theater & didn't get to 2 of my online trainings. Maybe this afternoon. I need the Wonder Twins to activate my motivation! A radio commercial just came on stating that children under 4'9" need to be in a booster seat. I know adults that are that short. What do we do with them? Bananas! Usher has nice abs & an odd shaped head. I miss working the night shift. Somebody help me! Who knew I'd thoroughly enjoy that shift?!?! Being out and about with folks during the day is nerve wrecking. Plus, my electricity bill was like 64 freakin' dollars!!! REALLY?!?! WTHades is that about? My average bill in San Antonio was 12 bucks. I wonder if I can find a gig that pays well & I get to work nights & the people are smart & quiet. By the by, you all are the first (and possibly the last) to know that I'm going to begin courses for Medical Coding in about a month. I see it as an investment & I'll be able to work from home when I need to. Wish me luck. And wish me tuition assistance from the government. :-)  My hair is getting on my nerves. I don't want to deal with it anymore. No mas! But braids kinda drive me nuts, too. Hair can be such a burden. Save me! Save it! Thanks for listening.

Goals for the Day:
#  Spend no money
#  Try not to over-feed  Maurice
#  Apply for education benefits
#  Chuckle

Enjoy the day Gals!

Save-less

Good Day Divas! I've determined that I must be save-less as none of you attempted to save me from myself. At least I accomplished all tasks on my list yesterday, including the walk. I'm currently trying to find the motivation to go on a walk after work. One of you should yell at me soon! If it's not raining & my foot doesn't become a frozen tundra, I'll head on out. Otherwise, I can see myself sitting in a movie theater watching something comical. :-)  I went PMS shopping yesterday. Searched high and higher for cookie dough, but freakin' Walmart didn't have any that I wanted. It's like all the other PMS'ers got there an hour before me & took the good stuff. The nerve! I'll have to settle for M&M's of the peanut variety. **Happy 20th Birthday to my darling nephew! **  Ladies, I'm trying really hard to make Georgia work. I like that I have enough things to do & that it's scenic. Now if I could get folks to be a little less church-y, I'd be thrilled. Where will I land next? Throw the dice & tell me what you all come up with.

Goals for the Day:
=  Finish @ least 2 of the online trainings assigned to me
=  Cardio/walk/something
=  Try not to spend any $
=  Chuckle

Own the Day Delights!

FRESSSSH!

Good Morning Delights! My place is smelling FRESH! Well, half of it has a fresh smell. The living room & kitchen have that smell we all LOVE:  The smell of lemon scented Clorox Wipes! Ahh.... Come over & get in on this! I'll brew us a fresh pot & we'll marvel at how un-clean the rest of my place happens to be. I'm gettin' around to it. I swear. But I'm hungry & thirsty & need to go to the store & some other stuff. My day on the island was fantastic minus all the loot I spent. In 2 days, I'm pretty sure I spent nearly 300 bucks! WTHADES? Someone save me! I'm trying to justify the spending by having some dysfunctional chat with myself: "You're donating a HUGE bag of clothes. These are just replacements. And it's your nephew's 20th birthday! You cannot just NOT get him something. You really did need new walking shoes & you're giving the other pair away. At least you didn't buy that watch you were eyeing, too. Get a second job, Carmen. You'll be fine."  Yep, that was my mind chatter/battle with myself. Not sure if there were winners or losers, but I've got some great items coming in the mail this week! :)  I ended up watching The Trip & will get to The Virgin Diaries today.

Today's Objectives:
@  Log my recent spending in the budget/spending spreadsheet
@  Clean my room
@  Go to the grocery store
@  Recycle
@  Actually make the turkey meatballs & rice 
@  Take a little stroll
@  Stop sniffing Clorox wipes before brain damage settles in

Enjoy the day Divas! March!March!March!

Fantasy Island

Good Morning Delights! I've decided to live on my own fantasy island today. The island is my couch. And my fantasy is to sorta linger on it all day, watch movies, read some of my book, do a x-word puzzle, drink java, and just be. Unfortunately, it's a GORGEOUS morning outside & I probably should take advantage of the sunshine. The rays were warming my bones when I stood out on my patio to pick out the madness a.k.a. my fro! Outside. Inside. Outside. Sofa. How does a gal decide?!?! My patio door is slightly ajar & the blinds are slanted to let in some shine! My java is tasty & the sofa is dreamy. Plus, I need to watch SOMETHING out of my Netflix queue to justify why the heck I pay for it every month. Let me check the weather forecast for the week. (Feel free to hum the Jeopardy theme song while you wait.) Looks like tomorrow will also be nice outside. Executive Decision: I will go outside tomorrow. Today: Virgin Diaries & turkey meatballs! I love my fantasy island! Now where is Tattoo?!?! I think he killed himself, right? Or was it the other fella, Mr. Ricardo Monteblan? Hmph... Anyhoo, have a great day Delights! Keep the dream alive & march about your respective living areas. And think about a time we can all meet in New Mexico.

Cheers!
