Teleported

Howdy FTC'ers! Have you ever wished you could get beamed up like/by Scotty and be teleported to some place grand? I do. I kinda want to be at a spa for a few days. Just enjoying the bliss of lavender/vanilla/jasmine/eucalyptus etc. smells while someone works the knotty tension outta my back. But, since that cannot happen, I'll keep chugging along at my daily, weekly, monthly goals. Today's jog was pretty good & didn't leave me exhausted. Tomorrow I'll walk & do some ab work. I'll also try to figure out if I can realistically take a class or two this spring. Wish me luck. How can anyone justify selling (or buying) jeans that are $200?!?! Freakin' ridiculous! Anyhoo, I'm sleepy. Oh, I went to the office and got some work done. What a successful weekend. I also used no cream or sugar in my coffee today at breakfast. Owww! I'm on a wobble.

This week I hope to:  jog at least 2-3 times; attend the Toastmaster's meeting on Wednesday night; keep my spending to a minimum; get my GI Bill documents over to the college.

Cheers!

A Better Tomorrow

Howdy Delights! I'm not sure why I'm awake, but may as well knock out today's writing assignment. I did go on a very short, slow jog this morning. Tomorrow I'll do a little bit more. Wish me luck. I also got through 3 loads of laundry & half way caught up on my beau's show. I cleared through some paperwork and receipts & making space on what is labeled the "dining room table." Slow, steady progress. The reality is settling in about taking classes, travelling, and adjusting to my new gig. Yes, it IS possible for me to do all those things simultaneously, but I won't do one of them very well if that's the case. The billing and coding classes may have to wait for a spell. I really want to do well & be good at my gig so I can write my own ticket as to what I do next. I've gotta concentrate on being the best for a little while. ** Have I ever mentioned how much I freakin' love music?!?! It would blow chunks to lose my vision, but it'd suck a whole lot more if I weren't able to hear music. **  I didn't do any work from home today, but I'll definitely do some work tomorrow. Tomorrow holds such possibility and promise, that's why I put off so many things until then?!?!   :-)

Ms. Awesome, thanks for your great words on being a woman & the way politics tries to affect us negatively. You rock!

Goals for the week:
=  More jogging
=  Add movies to my tablet
=  Attend a Toastmaster's meeting
=  Get my fro straightened & cut.  YIKES!
=  Smile & give thanks

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Delights!

Not a Dang Thang!

Hello & Happy Beginning to the Weekend! I did no fitness today & can't remember if I did any all week. Yikes! I've been sorta wore out from the travelling, the wedding, and trying to get actual work done at work. Not sure if I mentioned to you all that my supervisor is a really, really nice woman but a horrible & overly chatty boss. She'll tie up so much of your work time by talking about a whole heap of irrelevant stuff. Before ya know it, the day is over & nothing has been accomplished. It appears that I'll be going in to the office on the weekends for a while. Why oh why oh why must every day be so unproductive?!?! Anyhoo, on to Follow Through stuff:


     Part of me really likes the idea of being a jogger (it gives me a great booty), but I know I really don't like running. The search begins for a partner who'll be consistent, fun, and motivating. I want to jog 2-3 times per week this month. I can start tomorrow! 
     My 1st billing and coding class begins on the 7th. As of today, the VA hasn't certified my funds. Boo caca hiss. I may have to wait another month to begin. Let's hope the busy travel schedule doesn't interfere with becoming a learned lady. Did I mention that I've decided to make the trip to San Fran in 2 weeks? Yea. Bonkers. Should be a good & educational time, though. 
     Today was a whole lotta crazy at the office & I went to get a bottle of vino after work. The intent was to pop it open as soon as I got in the door. Because the wine was still warm, I'll be able to stick to my original goal of no wine from March 1 - 10. Freakin' warm wine saved me from myself.
     In addition to going for a short jog manana, I will also spend some time with my new toy. I've got to get a handle on this tablet business so that my upcoming flight isn't so horrible. I will also do some laundry, lounge on my couch, & maybe get some office work done right here at home. Oh, and I'm not big on putting sugar in my coffee unless I'm out at a restaurant (I use cinnamon & powdered creamer at home), so my focus is to drink black coffee for the next 7 days. I can do this... beginning tomorrow! 


Thank you for being supportive, BadMammaJammas. I could not be    without yall.


Cheers!

Weird Feeling on the Side

Hello Delights! TAPS, congrats to you for rockin' through 4 miles with ease. Ms. Awesome, I know you're still jogging for beer and I'm envious. Magic, you've given everyone the run bug. We'll all be shuffling quickly soon. Hooray!

I've got some weird feeling on the right side of my gut. It's not a pain, just a weird discomfort. Tea & chicken noodle soup for me. Followed up by some great sleep. Wish me regularity, Gals. Not in an eat too much fiber sorta way, but ya know... back to feeling normal.

Goals for Manana:
=  Fitness
=  Some sort of productivity at work
=  Chuckle & smile

Hoping For A Better Memory

Hi there Delights! I have a horrible memory, but a noggin full of great and healthy and random ideas. I just forget them because my short term memory blows chunks. And what's even more bonkers ... never mind, I just forgot because I'm on the phone. Sorry. Focus. I gotta focus. Now, where was I?!? Ideas. Ideally, I'll do a short jog tomorrow morning & some ab work. I'll also try to finish at least two of the freakin' 19 modules I have to do for an online training. And I'll swing by another apartment complex to see if I possibly want to move there. And because it's March & it's a month that's always chalk full of madness for me, I will begin my no alcohol consumption thing. However, I may need to adjust my plan and mirror that of TAPS:  10 days sans alcohol. Which should be relatively easy, because I can go months and months without it. For some reason, I've been wanting wine. Hmm... Maybe I'll go March 2nd - 12th. No no no. Focus! March 1-10 w/o alcohol. Wish me luck. Ideally, I'll write & send at least two folks thank you notes each month. Just because I want all my peeps to know how much I truly appreciate their presence & how they've enhanced my life. March Madness = Focus!

Enjoy the night!

Chuck Taylor Goddess!

Howdy Hey Hola Hallo! I'm back in the Carmen Saddle and pretending to get things done today. The plan was to blog, do laundry, get groceries, and look for a new place to live. Have been sucked in to the chaos of Facebook and email all morning, but there is at least one load of laundry spinning about the dryer. Load 2 will go in the washer post blog. The weekend was a long, busy, great time & I truly did rock out my Maid of Honor duties. The bride, groom, and both of their very extended families were appreciative & that's good enough for me. My feet don't hurt, but I could definitely use a massage. Thankfully, the wedding party got to wear Chuck Taylor Converse's for the day & they were so so so needed. I was running around like FloJo and Flo from the Progressive commercials. It was all worth it to see my Super Support System and the happiness of the bride when the day was done. Have I ever mentioned that I absolutely LOVE all of my GalPals?!?! All of you are so amazing! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Today's Objectives:
= Finish laundry
= Buy groceries
= Bathe
= Watch Sherlock Holmes #2
= Enjoy being in my own place and space

Cheers!

Jet-Setting

Delights! I'm all packed and ready for my long, busy weekend in San Tony! Once all shimmy's to a stand still, I'll be sure to post pics from the wedding shenanigans! I did kick arse on my presentation today. I didn't walk as I was trying to prepare for this long weekend, complete a travel voucher, and get caught up on Modern Family.  I freakin' LOVE those folks. So, in the next hour, I've got to dust, vacuum, wash dishes, shower & shave my legs. Wish me luck!

I'll see you all in about 5 days. I'll try to post something on the group page while I'm away.

Cheers!
