Belly Blunder

Hola Delights! My belly definitely paid me back today for eating in a craptacular fashion. My stomach was messing with me so bad I left work. Felt like rubbish. (That's my word of the day) The plus side: I've been on my sofa all day, surfing the web, relaxing, and making weekend plans. I have a real date on Saturday night. Dinner and bowling. I'm considering it "real" because it's all taking place late in the evening. I warned the fella that I usually go to bed at old lady time & not to be offended if I yawn. He swears that he'll keep me entertained. :-)  I'll keep yall posted. As you may have gathered, I did NOT make the local news. I did not assault anyone in the Sprint store and THAT, gals, is how this Follow Through'er stayed off the news. Yahoo!
Additionally, I'm on my way to my new bed. The box spring was ordered today. And I can get my new mattress in a couple of weeks. YES!

Celebrations:
=  Not making the news
=  A working phone
=  Hot tea
=  Flexible leadership at work
=  Dating options

Goals for the Week:
♀  Get closer to completing the online training
♀  Not overeat junk food or any food
♀  Optimize my fitness regimen
♀  Finalize travel plans
♀  Release the Lumberjack

Super Gal

Evening Delights! Ziplining was an absolute BLAST! I will certainly partake in that activity again in the future. Made some wonderful friends-for-the-day and I may just connect with them again some time. Meanwhile, I'm a wee bit (read: A whole damn lot) frustrated with Sprint and my phone. I was having some issues with my phone yesterday so I took it in & paid $37 to replace it. I got a new (probably refurbished) phone which is now giving me the very same problems! kjkdfdfkflkew34klk@@##@#  I'm pisssssed! Channeling my inner [insert the name of the calmest person you know here] _____________. Please don't let me make the evening news.Pleasedontletmemaketheeveningnews.

Anyhoo, I went for a walk around the lake & wouldn't ya know there was a down pour of rain. All I could do is laugh as I was still just over a half-a-mile from my car. Chuckle and run and chuckle. I was drenched. Good times. The point is, I walked/ran at some point today. Hooray!

Objectives for the Week:
☼  More fitness. A lot fitness.
☼  Not make the evening news
☼  Finish the stuff on my Do It Now list
☼  NOT MAKE THE EVENING NEWS

Celebrations:
◙  Finding a bed that I like
◙  New pillows
◙  A relatively relaxing Sunday
◙  Good food company  ;-)
◙  Laughter
◙  Pandora!

Ms. Adventure

Good Morning FTC'ers! I'm up and about to prepare for my day of adventure. I'll be heading to Rock Hill, SC in a little while to have a FUNomenal day of zip lining! As much as I would love some company on this trip, I have a wonderful notion that going solo will give me some much needed peace. I'm also happy to report that I've been chipping away at my oh-so-lengthy Get It Done, NOW list. Oh yes, the list is never complete, but what I put on there earlier this week has quite a few scratched through tasks.  YAY me! Oh oh oh! And I may have two dates today/tonight upon my return from channeling my alter ego - Ms. Adventure. One is with an old college buddy who happens to be out this way. The other, with the lab tech whom with I initiated date/hang out one. I'll keep yall posted.

Confession:  I'm very well aware my occasionally unkempt hair drives my supervisor BONKERS! And that makes me smile.

Objectives:
Φ  Have a blast during my zip lining escapade
Φ  Find the energy to hang out post adventure
Φ  Re-work/re-crop the photos I printed for my dad
Φ  Enjoy the day fully

Celebrations:
±  Having a somewhat productive week
±  COFFEE
±  Being unafraid of going solo
±  A clean discount theater w/in walking distance
±  Toothpaste

Enjoy the day & weekend Delights!

Summer Confessions Series

Hola Delights! I've decided to embark on a "Confessions" mission. I'll try to confess to something daily or at least every other day. Today: I confess to highly disliking the misuse of the words "your" and "you're". Drives me bonkers! I also confess to not doing any fitness today but thoroughly enjoyed a single scoop of Jamoca Almond Fudge on a sugar cone from Baskin Robbins. :-)  I've earned this. Not for any particular reason, but I just feel like I did indeed earn this cone. I'll walk tomorrow. And I'll be workin' my milk shaker off at our graduation ceremony tomorrow. Yes. Yes. I've earned this cone. On a non-related note: The San Antonio Spurs are trying to give me a heart attack. Finito. On the plus side: my brother got a part time gig at the airport & I'll soon be flying about the country for free. Hoooooray me! And on to the regular....

Tomorrow's Objectives:
= Wear comfy clothes that will make it easy for me to
shake & shimmy all day
= Smile & be helpful
= Walk & do the hip/waist work out at some point
= Enjoy a nice sit down breakfast

Celebrations:
= Spurs basketball (yea, that statement makes me sound bipolar)
= Being able to laugh most of the day at work
= Having my ideas respected at work
= iHeart radio
= Ice cream

Enjoy the night Delights!

Sadist Stripper Lady

Howdy Delights! TAPS, happy anniversary to you and Ellison! Hope your day was as beautiful as the two of you. Gals, my body HURTS! Seriously! That sadist stripper chick with her hip hop waist work out is trying to do me in. Is it sad that I'm okay with that?!?!? I'm a sad case. Sad, masochistic case. I'll take a break from her until Thursday. And then schedule a massage for really, really soon. I'll need it after running around like a mad woman this week when we have a commencement ceremony. Oh, and I'm finally going zip lining this weekend. I won't let the indecisive me chicken out.** Joss Stone's voice is so so soulful. ** I have nothing exciting to blog except that having a green chile bagel this a.m. w/ butter made me miss home a wee bit. I can't wait to sit and stare at the Sandia's and Manazano's. Chomping a #9 burrito from Golden Pride and having some delicious java (not from G.Pride because their coffee blows chunks!). I'm trying to figure out when I'll squeeze this trip in between all my work travel. Yikes! I'm almost crazy enough to go in 2 weeks, come back home for 3 days & head to San Tony for work. Am I bonkers? Oh yes indeed! Anyhoo, I'm still feeling good about where I am currently and what I'm doing. I've just gotta force myself to not take on too much at once or much will not be accomplished.

Objectives:
=  Find a dentist
=  Mail some photos to my dad
=  Make sure I register to vote or renew my registration or whatever
=  Shop for various tickets to ABQ, Phoenix, and DC (this summer is already busy & it's not even officially begun!)

=  Do one thing at a time w/o being distracted

Celebrations:
♥  Ellison and TAPS! I remember your wedding day & all the fun very clearly
♦  Making some headway on my training today
♦  Giving a kick ass presentation to a unit of new Soldiers
♦  Great music
♦  Smiling

Cheers Delights!

Whoring, Interventions, & Boys

Hey Gals! I'm a Target Whore! For some reason, I just cannot stay outta that place and am always inclined to buy something once there. Anything. All things. Today I went in for window/sliding door locks & came out w/  a dress and a tee. No locks. I sauntered about looking for locks, found none, and finally settled on greenish gear. I so need an intervention that will keep me from shopping. Seriously. I've got a problem with shopping and junk food eating. Aye yi yi and oy vey! And I'm very well aware I've been saying this for over a year. I'm just the sap who pretends to be working on the issues and actually avoiding them. Or (more often than not) justifying my behavior. Phooey phooey! At some point this week, I'll make a healthy donation pile of clothes and possibly a pair of shoes or 3. I went on a breakfast date with a hottie patottie this morning. He's got darling dimples and a sexy Puerto Rican accent and a fabulous body and backside and is just super cute. We're going out again tomorrow. I'm on a Sadie Hawkins (http://www.lil-abner.com/sadiehawk.html) roll! I asked him out to breakfast and he gladly obliged. That's two for two on dates or pseudo dates this week for me. I'm feeling fancy as of late & my confidence is soaring. Oh...I think I forgot to mention that I finally contacted someone from whom to receive guidance about online teaching. I offered to be his Teaching/Grad Assistant for free just so I can get a feel for how it goes. Hopefully, I'll be helping him out beginning in August and have my own class by the Spring semester. I also have some sort of malady that prevents me from focusing on one task at a time. During the time I've been writing this blog, I've read Yahoo News, instant messaged the Hottie Puerto Rican, and played a round of Scramble With Friends! I.Will.Get.Through.This.Blog.Without.Distractions.!

Objectives:
♫  Not to take a nap
♫  Finish cleaning up my place & hang some pictures
♫  Buy my plane ticket to NM
♫  Figure out what I need to re-register my car in NM
♫  STAY AWAKE! Not succumb to my sleepiness

Celebrations:
♪  Two dates w/in 4 days
♪  Yummy turkey meatballs
♪  Getting in a couple of good walks this weekend
♪  A positive self image
♪  The fabulous video posted by Alisa

Enjoy your Sunday Delights!

Nice & Simple

Howdy Gals! Tonight after work I met the fella who I asked out on a date. We hung out at the lake that's in the center of Augusta. (Not sure why there's a lake in the middle of the city, but glad it's near me.) We just sat and chatted and chuckled and got to know one another. A simple, nice "date." Does that count as a date? I haven't dated in so long I'm not sure if there has to be a beverage and meal involved to make it official! Anyhoo, we had a nice time. He has no gold teeth, is articulate, and a seems pretty self sufficient. Perhaps we'll see each other again over the weekend. Meanwhile, I'm learning that I need to stop trying to take on too many tasks at one time. I'm all over the place with wanting to begin Toastmaster's, another degree, financial planning, community service, and dating. My roll needs to be slowed. And quickly! :-) This weekend, I will hang around my place & try to get my thoughts and things in order. The ineffective Tasmanian Devil has gotta get away from me. Or outta me. Or whatever.

Objectives:
=  Not over think all the goodness I'll eat tomorrow at Carolina Ale House
=  Order a birthday gift for a dear friend of mine
=  Walk
=  LOVE my massage!
=  Take a sabbatical at my desk

Celebrations:
= A simple date
=  Spurs basketball
=  Not being completely eaten alive by mosquitoes
=  Chocolate

Enjoy the evening Delights!
