Slow & Slightly Steady

Hello Delights! I finally went walking tonight. It was a short walk since most of the mall was gated off. I didn't go last night because I caught a case of the bubble gut. Could've been bad business had I left home. Anyhoo, tonight I sauntered a little & did some ab work. The plan is to do a heap more walking tomorrow and a heap less eating. I'm just eating these days because I can. And eating craptacularly, too. It's ridiculous. I'll do better... one meal/day/sitting at a time.

By the by...Ladies ... WHERE THE HELL ARE YALL & what are you up to these days? That's all. Well, for that piece of the blog anyway.

I think I'm actually hungry, but I'm too lazy to eat. Plus, it's 9pm. I need to crawl in to the sheets that need changing & read. I also feel like I'll succeed in finding new, better employment by the end of this year. I've got a few good feelings in my gut. Now I've gotta decide if I actually want to go to school in the spring. I've been too lazy/unmotivated to think too deeply about that subject. Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm a scattered mess. Thanks. I need an assistant. Preferably a gorgeous man. And I want yall to know that  when I Googled images of "gorgeous man" this photo was there:

WTHades?

That's my queue to climb in to the sheets. Hope you're all enjoying your Labor-less Labor Day Weekend!

Cheers!

Continuum of Nada

Hello Delights! I'll have you all know that today has been a repeat of yesterday: lounging around, napping, eating, watching t.v.  I had big plans to rip up the highway this weekend & have some fun. Somehow, that turned in to me barely moving from my sofa. I did lift weights last night & will go old lady [read: mall] walking later tonight. I'll even try to get in some ab work as I know I'll be having a scoop of ice cream after the stroll. Oh...I did clean my floors today. Ole for one productive activity all weekend. :)  Wait...I went grocery shopping this morning, but know it was half-assed because I spent less than half of what I normally do. Of course I got home and realized all the items I forgot! I'm a mess these days. Need to get focused & centered SOON! I think the family coming through is throwing me all off & the over spending & the lack of job satisfaction & day shift & on and on and on. I'll stop my Erykah Badu whining & go forward. I do love me some Erykah though. Join in:

Alright Delights... I swear I'll do something else grand within the next 1.5 hours. Cheers!

Unproductive!

Hello Delights! Today was about as unproductive as the laziest person you could ever imagine! I really did nothing at all but eat and sleep. And am now watching "You Don't Know Jack", a movie about Jack Kevorkian. Should be interesting. After this, I'll go to sleep again, hopefully, & wake up and actually do some fitness. Maybe as this movie rolls along, I'll lift some weights and do some sit ups. YES! I'll do a wee bit while being entertained. Genius! I've decided to leave Facebook again for a little while. Just so I can be productive and continue a healthier life style. I'll shoot for 3 months & see how that goes. You all know what a FB whore I can be, so wish me luck. Let's see if there's anything exciting to report...NOPE! I did bathe today. What an exciting thing for everyone else who had to be near me. :) 

Have a delightful evening and weekend!

Cheers!

Ragged

Good Night Divas! Blogging at 10:45 pm CST is madness! Today has been totally chaotic at work, and I realized that I'm a crotchety old lady who would rather not work in a customer service capacity. I'm not even PMS'ing and everybody just got on my last damn nerve. But, the junkies are now in bed, and I'm taking this opportunity to sit for 5 minutes and blog. I've not had many goals these past few days, but there's tons of stuff I need to do. Have you ever been so busy that you can't even think? That's where I am these days. So uh...here are some basic goals for the next few days:

♣  Bathe - daily
♣  Eat - relatively well
♣  Walk - at least twice
♣  Trick myself in to thinking that 12-hour days are worth it. :\
♣  Buy groceries & include a bunch of fruit but no cookie dough  (uhm...I may fail there)
♣  Work on one objective per day to prepare for my family's arrival
♣  BREATHE & Laugh A LOT!

Cheers Delights!

A Bit Better

Good Morning Delights! After taking the last 2 days off from fitness, I was up & out the door today on a nice stroll. Even wrapped it up with some weights & abs. Brought my credit card account current, which relieved a bunch of stress. And I was pretty productive at work, too. Today & tomorrow are 12-hour days. Yikes! Give me the power of Linda Carter to make it through. I'm also plugging away at job applications & sending out resumes. I should be in a better place by January. Ole! Of course, I change my mind constantly, so we'll see what really pans out.

Today's Objectives:
+ Make it through the day!

Have a grand one Divas!

Missing Out On My Own Chaos

...But not really! Howdy Delights! Not sure how I forgot to blog yesterday. I kept thinking about it, too. And convinced myself that I had already blogged early in the a.m. I'm a chaotic mess. Here's my current chaos: My sister's 40th birthday party is taking place here at the end of September. Last week, I sent out a message to all guests that I won't be hosting any slumber parties, so folks need to get hotel rooms. (Please note that I've been in communication with my fam for 7-8 months about making hotel accommodations) 2 days later, I decided that was kind of an a-hole move by me because I know my aunt really can't afford a room for 3-4 nights. So, I invited her, my mama, and my sis to stay with me & feel super anxious about it. My aunt and sister are fine. My mama... well, she drives me BONKERS like nobody else can. At some point, I may find myself staying in a hotel just so I can get a break from her. All that madness is anxiety-causer numero uno. Numero Dos: Yesterday I get a call from one of my lovely creditors who reminded me I missed a payment. I never miss a payment, but somehow overlooked this one. Ugh. Not so pissed that I missed a payment, but am pissed that I spent like a crazy lady in August even though I vowed (and vow, and vowed, and whine about) doing better financially. So, there I am transferring $ from checking to savings to make a payment. I suck! I feel broke. I hate to feel broke. I am broke...maybe. Ugh. There are worse things. And the upside is at least I had a little bit of savings to transfer from. Are you all thinking, "No big deal. Yes, you had money to pay the bill."? Cause that's what I would be thinking, too. Because this caused me more anxiety than I would have liked, I had to really evaluate the feeling behind the anxiety. And it's my fear of being broke and not having enough money to live, retire, hang out, buy groceries, etc... This is a huge FEAR of mine. And I keep bringing it on myself. Ugh. I'm disappointed & angry & just afraid. I had to tap in to my inner TAPS and say to myself, "Hey, it's a new day. Do better!" And that's what I'll do.

By the by, I did nothing on my list from yesterday/Sunday but relax and get a massage. However, I did apply for a job. Maybe even two. I am determined to go in to 2012 being paid my worth. Even if part of my salary comes in gold bars. Oh, I've also decided not to attend or be part of a wedding next May. Other friends and I were planning a trip to Italy for quite some time, and then one of my BFF's (and I'm using that sorta loosely) springs her wedding on me. I've been battling over this decision for a while & decided to go ahead with my Italy plans. Hope she takes the news okay.  I'm calling her today. Thanks for listening gals!

Goals for Today:
=  Try not to be too pissy due to lack of sleep. No promises, though.
=  Try not to be too pissy due to lack of sleep & exercise.
=  Try not to go all pissy pants on anyone.
=  Smile!

Enjoy the day!

Big Fear

Good Evening Delights! The 5k was a smokin' time. Literally! It was so freakin' hot out there, I actually started to jog some of it just to finish faster. That was somewhat in vain as there was no shade to cool me once I was finished. All and all, the gals & I had a good time and a wonderful greasy breakfast afterward. I'm currently trying to muster up the energy to apply for a job, but am being interrupted by a mini-Monk marathon. I love this show.

* Random Thought: I don't want any of you to move to Texas. Folks are pretty large here and just plain un-healthy. I'm researching cooler places to live. Tennessee's on the list, although I've never been there. Any of you know anything about that place? I need to get outta here before this happens:

Goals for Tomorrow:
=  Walk
=  Buy fruit & veggies
=  Get a massage
=  Clean my bathroom
=  REEE-Lax!

Cheers!
