Pride

Good Morning Gals! Just wanted to express how excited and proud I am of each of you. You all are so freakin' fantastic at getting your own stuff done while supporting each other, your family's, fans, and haters! So glad to know you all and be part of your continued success. One hundred three billion cheers for all of you. Hmm... how is that written in numerical form? Let me think about this & get back to yall. Meanwhile, I'm watching Meet the Press and it's about the campaigns, of course. What's bothering me is that they've not listed the names of the fellas who are guests. I think one is that guy that was an actor on Law & Order & then became a politician. The other is Senator McCain. Why the hell would NBC NOT put their names up there?!?! Wait... they just put McCain's name up but still... Okay, enough of that and this. You all make me proud. Ms. Awesome has even managed to help me feel proud of the fact that I watched season one of The Voice for about five hours yesterday.  Thanks! :-)  By the by, I'm registered for the 1st class to begin my Billing & Coding program.  **Fred Thompson - They just put his name up!**  The class begins on the 7th. Or maybe the 8th. It's just a month-long class that ensures I can maneuver the web well enough to be successful in online classes! Believe me, I tried to get outta that madness, but failed. The meaty classes begin on March 7 & I'm pretty excited. You all are elitist & the only folks that know I'm heading that direction. Thanks for the push.

Sooooo... my dear Battle Buddy (Army pal) is having her 10-year-vow-renewal ceremony of which I'm a part. It's going to be a non-traditional, laid back affair & I'm thrilled to assist her and her hubby. The nerve wracking part is that I'm walking/being escorted by the fella who I've absolutely loved for like EVER! And really, we were supposed to make a life together a couple years ago & be happily cohabiting right now. We got away from that when he went to Korea for a couple of years and he now has the most gorgeous girlfriend. She'll be with him at the ceremony. I am truly happy that he's happy, because that's what I've always wanted for him. I'm even happy to meet the gal pal, because they seem right together. My concern is that I'll have all sorts of odd feelings when we're all in the same place. Ugh! Help. TAPS, you met the fine young man when I was in NY several years back. Remember how gorgeous he (and his brother) were? :-)  Okay... I'll have to marinate and meditate on that madness when the date nears.

Today's Goals:

Whatever I feel like doing.

February = Frugalness

Howdy Delights! All I've got to say is, STOP MY SPENDING SPREE! Thanks. Although I really do need bras, I bought 2 and intended to buy one. And 2 shirts. Intention - zero. I'm a mess. How can I ever save for a replacement for SinnABurst, retirement, 53 weddings, etc. if I keep spending?!?!? Stop me! On the upside, I'll donate some more items. Parks and Recreation cracks me up. Rob Lowe is absolutely fantastic on this show. His hair is bonkers, but I think it's like that for a reason. Tomorrow, wish me a good walk and some groceries.

Happy Friday & Happy Weekend!

Hooray! No Head Trauma!

Good Evening Delights! Today I was able to get by with taking only one 800mg of ibuprofen. Head trauma is gone & I'm feeling pretty decent. Plus, I had a massage that was a little less than mediocre. She was super nice, but her hands weren't as firm as I'd like. I'll try a new place next month. Elaine Benis is a horrible dresser. Have I mentioned this before? Hilarious character. Horrid wardrobe. This image was displayed when I Googled "Elaine Benis":

What's that about? Apparently, it's Katie Couric doing some dirty dancing. No se! Anyhoo, I walked today & am aiming to do that again tomorrow. Maybe even two laps! Okay...not let me get too wild. One and done. TAPS, you keeping WW? Ms. Awesome, have you begun your comedic writing career? And how're classes? MAGIC?!?!?! Gals, I need a vacation & now! Somebody convince one of my Jew boys to scoop me up. Another goal I have for the year is to just do what I want - within healthy reason. I'm feeling over-extended with the weddings this year. Or maybe I just don't want to be in a couple of them & am kicking myself for agreeing to participate. No more Gals! Yes to what I want. No to what I don't want. Finito. Unfortunately, I say yes AND no to my fro all the time. Bleh!

Enjoy the evening Delights!

Boo Hiss to Head Pain

Good Evening Delights! Today was an unplanned island day. Went to bed & woke up w/ a migraine. The 800mg of ibuprofen was helpful, but wore off after a few hours. Took another that didn't kick in for a while & now the head trauma is back! Boo caca hiss piss. On the up and down side of things: I stayed on the sofa all day & ate in a craptacular fashion, but at least I didn't spend any money. Ole! Tomorrow, I plan to do some walking during lunch, get a massage after work, and uh... just go to work. And some fitness in the morning. Wish me luck. By the by, I decided to start watching The Voice. I freakin' love this show & I DO NOT LIKE REALITY TV SHOWS! But I am really diggin' this one. Maybe I'll watch Season 2 this year. Can Adam Levine be my part time fling? Someone make that happen. Thanks.

Okay, I'm on to wine, Seinfeld, listening to my cousin rant, and eventually crawling in the sheets.

Cheers Divas!

Twin/Clone on the Loose!

Howdy Delights! The twin in me actually got out to a Meet Up this evening & really enjoyed herself. Met some fabulous women over coffee talk and I can see myself being more active in the community soon. Still haven't done any cardio, but manage to do abs & arms daily. I'm a nut. My head hurts & I should be in bed. But, I kinda smell un-good, so I gotta shower before the hitting the sheets. Thanks for the deodorant tip, TAPS! Hooray for Alisa & Ms. Awesome.

G'Night!

Goals for tomorrow:
= Cardio
= Not have a headache
= Finish my online training @ work
= Chuckle

My Fabulous Imaginary Inner ME!

Hello Gals! Just want you all to know that I have an imaginary clone/twin who lives inside of me. She's pretty fabulous! She's active and social and accomplishes greatness on a daily basis. I need to be more like her, but I'm either too lazy, unmotivated, my hair won't do right, and the sofa is too comfy. Or a combination of all of those at one time. I should be out doing trivia and karaoke. I even hurried to cook, cleaned the kitchen, & changed clothes to go. Then my phone rang & I started messing with my hair. And now it's 9'ish, close to my bedtime, & I feel like a sap for missing another opportunity to socialize. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I will either meet up w/ some gals to walk or another group to have coffee. And if I don't go, I'm sure my inner, fabulous clone will go for me. Wish us luck! The plus side is that I spent no money today! Yay! On a random side note: I'm noticing that my 2 deodorants are no longer really working for me. I've got Dove & Arm & Hammer. Do any of you have something that you love? Maybe I'll have to go back to Secret. I'm sleepy. Found this image when I searched for clones:

Yes, that's Hillary.  My goals for tomorrow are to do cardio in the a.m. before work & to go to a coffee and/or walk with some group.

Cheers!

Stop Me... I'm on a Wobble!

Good Evening Delights! Today was about as productive as yesterday. I spent a good amount of time on the sofa, perusing the web, & watching Burn Notice. I attempted to be out and about. Went so far as to eating brunch with a new friend & we headed over to the movie theater only to find that the times listed online did not match those at the box office. That blows! This put me back on the sofa. I did, however, do three loads of laundry, replace some light bulbs, clean my bathroom, finish my VA application for education benefits, and catch up w/ a couple of friends. And there was even a minute amount of fitness thrown in there prior to me heading to brunch. Watch me wobble, Divas! Watch ME! I'm also cleaner than I was yesterday as I didn't have to end my bathing process shortly after its beginning. Nichole... it's GREAT to hear from you. I hope that we also hear from Alisa, Elizabeth,  April, and the Kim's soon, too. Happy 2012 to you all!

Objectives for Tomorrow:
*  Walk, abs, arms
*  Go to trivia & karaoke night @ the bar
*  Convince my boss to convince her boss to let me fly to Orlando
*  Check in on all the brides-to-be whose weddings of which I'm involved
*  Chuckle often

Cheers!
