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!

Zzzzz

Delights! Why am I sleepy? Need I a vitamin? Probably. It's only 7:45 and I'm about to call it quits. I did everything I had to do except for pack. Of course that's the major task & I just don't have the energy to do it. And I want some cake. Happy Fat Tuesday! If I don't step up my cardio, I'll be this chica:


Welcome back, Magic! Hope your trip was dandy. Ms. Awesome, I watched the Duke City native's performance on KOB.com. Not too bad. Maybe he'll go far. But I'm already over this season of The Voice. Wanna know why? Because I have tv show A.D.D.!!!  I've only got patience/stamina for my beau. Sounds naughty, right? I wish! Anyhoo, I'm finished with my Intro to Online Learning course. The medical coding and billing courses begin on the 7th. I gotta hope the VA has my money ready by then so I can rock forward. Oh, I forgot to mention that I think I'm gonna nab a beau this year. Yes. A real one and not just Jon Stewart. So, if any of you know any eligible single fellas that can read, send'em my way.

Tomorrow's Objectives:
** Pack
** Walk
** Kick arse on the presentation I'm giving
** Smile
** Be cute

G'night Delights!

Fast & Fit

Hello BadMammaJamma's! I stepped up my fitness today & will try to keep it going all week. Well, minus some of the days I'm in San Tony. But I'll figure something out once I get there. My piggies are green and cute. They're market-ready. I didn't make it to the office to get a jump start on this week's work, but maybe that's a good thing!??! My laundry is finished but my bed's not made. Somebody help! Alright...here I go to accomplish this last daunting task of the evening.

Tomorrow's Goals:
= A bit of morning fitness & a lunch time walk
= Begin packing
= Be productive
= Chuckle and chuckle and chuckle
= Flash my green feets at somebody

Enjoy the week Delights!

See... What Happened Was...

I didn't follow through completely on my fitness intentions today. Wimpy arm & ab work out & no walking. Good Evening Delights!  :-)  I'm finally realizing that I probably do need a partner or somebody to hold me accountable for working out. The Walking/Hiking Meet Up group I joined is falling by the wayside. They convene weekly and I need a little more frequency than that in order to be successful. And I  just bet that if I went to more of the Meet Up hikes, I'd find someone to meet me for a daily stroll, but I always create an excuse for not going. I kinda suck like that. But, I'm working on it. Tomorrow, I will do a much more intense workout before I reward myself w/ getting my feet done. Oh oh oh... I forgot to mention that I got my eyebrows threaded for the 1st time yesterday. Interesting sensation but my face is now fuzz free & cleaner looking. I also started a Twitter account as I'm trying to embrace my fear of being lazy about technological advances. :-)  I am so so so lazy when it comes to technology, but I won a tablet of some sort @ the conference, so I guess I'll be propelled forward. Anyhoo, today's winning moments included me doing 3 loads of laundry, seeing Denzel & Ryan, adding goals to my calendar, catching up on my beau's show, and cleaning out my work bag. Thus, the day wasn't a total bust, but I need to minimize my bust! Cardio intensity must be a priority! Help me Baby Buddha!

TAPS, do tell about the play. We all wanna know! And Magic!??! You back yet? Did you sip enough for us all? YAY!

Objectives for Tomorrow:
=  Intense cardio session
=  Get my piggies done so they can be cute when the go to the market
=  Complete class assignments
=  Go to the office for a little bit
=  Smile

Cheers!

Well...Howdy!

Delights! Hi there! So so so happy to see all of you back on the Club circuit! You've been missed: April, Elizabeth, Alisa, & Nichole! Orlando was decent & worth going. A little bit too long, but will be worth it as I maneuver through my new gig. I was reminded to set personal & professional goals, hustle, do good work, and to take care of myself. So, I'm gonna start with becoming more organized & over-using my Google & Outlook calendars to help me out. A few observations/life lessons from Orlando: 1 - It is not a grand idea to fry dye your hair the day before a conference at which you'll have to present several times; 2 - if you are more than 100 pounds heavier than Daisy Duke, maybe don't wear Daisy-type clothing. Certainly do not tie your shirt up in the front and let 20lbs hang out for all the oppressed world to see; 3 - the 3D show/display/whatever thingy of The Terminator at Universal Studios is really a good time. Get in on that, BadMammaJamma's! The fried hair reminded me of this fella:



Goals for Tomorrow:
//  Walk, abs, arms
//  Finish laundry
//  Clean out my work bag
//  Start putting goals on my calendar
//  Maybe see the Denzel flick
//  Chuckle!

Enjoy the long weekend Delights!
