Chocolate Puddle

Hola FTC'ers! San Antonio was insanely hot. Just when I thought I'd get some minor relief, I land here in a hotter, muggier Augusta! WTdamnHadesMan?!?! I'm a puddle of chocolate, I swear. `Cept nobody is licking me off a spoon or out of a huge mixing bowl. [Now fantasizing about actions in the last sentence actually coming true!]  The class was just ehh, but my social schedule was amazing & exhausting. This old gal stayed out until 11 or so each night I was there & my body certainly doesn't appreciate that. No fitness was done at all. Absolutely zero. Unless ya wanna count ab work from laughing heartily each day. Yes. Yes, let's count laughter as exercise. I've decided to jog during the month of July. I figure I can hit it 2-3x per week & walk or do the belly/waist workout the other days. I'll grocery shop for good-for-me foods tomorrow before going to see "Ted." Can I just say that I am super charged about that movie?!?! I love me some Matthew Mac, but I don't wanna be in the theater this weekend with all the lady's who have read 50 Shades of Grey & are sticky'ing up seats over male strippers on the big screen. So... TED it is! I think it's gonna be hilarious. Back to the original thought: I was reading about the benefits of black beans & will get some of those to add to rice & throw in some red bell pepper goodness. I'll get a different variety of fruits & some lemons. Apparently, one should keep lemons around at all times. Yall know I'm gonna highlight my hair with those suckers by Sunday, right?!?!  :-) And I may have blogged this before I left, but I plan on trying/going/doing 39 new things/places/stuff within the next year. I ate sushi for the first time this week. Decent. Very decent. I'm on my way to being a CultureNista!

Miles-less Frequent Flyer!

Howdy Delights! As I prepare to hit the road (air) again tomorrow, I'm realizing I should definitely invest in some sort of frequent flyer program. What a dork I am for not doing this once I got this gig & was told I'd be gone ALL the freakin' time. Ay yi yi yikes! It's been a productive weekend. My seat cushions are reupholstered and covered. And I'm sorta kinda trying to teach myself how to use a power drill without messing up my entire project. Wish me luck, good eyesight, and a perfect screw! (Who couldn't use a perfect screw every now and again?!?!?) TAPS, I remember you mentioning that consuming sugar makes you grouchy. I think I finally get it! I'm not a pleasant person once the sugar high starts to fade. I'll continue to monitor my consumption and try to cut back as much as possible. Plus, my big ol' gut would welcome the break. This is just all sorts of wrong!

Celebrations:
= Having my chairs just about finished
= My wonderful neighbor & walking partner being so helpful in the chair process
= YouTube! You can learn anything from there.
= My super duper fabulous San Antonio Support System
= Target popcorn
= Healthy teeth

Objectives:
♣  Finish the chairs & possibly assemble my box spring
♣  Dust & vacuum my place
♣  Get a great night's rest so I can hit the ground wobbling tomorrow
♣  Smile & give thanks
♣  Maybe cut my nails
♣  33 other things

Enjoy your Sunday, Delights!

Productive? Ehh...Not so much.

Howdy Delights! Haven't completed a lot of the tasks on my list from yesterday, but ehh... I managed to do just about none of them. Wait. I shaved my legs. And I may start packing as I watch the crucial Game 5. **LET'S GO THUNDER!**  I had to celebrate finishing my online class. And celebrating usually involves me letting everything else go to the wayside. At least I did some fitness. Gals, I'm feeling content with all areas of my life right now. And that's a great thing. While I know I could be doing more, I am doing enough. I'm taking pretty good care of myself and I'm happy. I thank you all for being wonderful listeners and supporters.

Celebrations:
=  Scheduling a date w/ Guy 3 upon my return from San Tony
=  My box spring being delivered today
=  A very lax day at work
=  Not spending money today
=  Cereal for dinner

Objectives:
♣  Everything I didn't do over the past few days

Own the Night Delights!

Summer Sizzle... Comin' Up!

Delights! I love wine. Wine may eventually begin to love me. I also love Seinfeld & am pretty sure it sorta loves me back. Anyhoo, not sure if I shared with you all that the lab guy sorta disappeared for a while. He randomly called me today & has the blues. That's why I've not heard him for a while. I'll try to help him through the blues & we'll see if we can have a fantastic second date. Or date 1.2, since I'm not sure if the 1st one counted. Fitness is going well & I'm aiming to have a belly half-as-sexy as Magic's by the end of July. [whispering to myself repeatedly] "You can do this! You CAN do THIS!" I'm ready for a spa day. And a trip home. And the opportunity to make more money. And to maybe/sorta/possibly start school again. And my new mattress. And a great summer of good dates. My summer is gonna sizzle because I will it to! I will be 39-years-young soon & I want to do 39 new things before I turn 40. I'm putting ziplining on the list because ... well, because I can. I'm also adding online dating for the same reason. I've got 37 more adventures to go! I may be able to obtain this goal in less than 365 days. Wish me luck & the winning lotto numbers.

Celebrations:
=  Hearing from the lab guy
=  Finding a place to donate clothes
=  Being more than half-way finished w/ my online training
=  Chewing gum
=  Web surfing

Objectives for Manana & This Week:
=  Start working on re-upholstering my dining room chairs
=  Pack for San Tony
=  Schedule massage & search for a day spa
=  Re-begin the search for a grad program
=  Donate clothes
=  Shave my freakin' legs

Enjoy the Night Delights! Let's GO THUNDER!

Hi Gals! The date went well & we had a great time. He's definitely southern and definitely country. I had a hard time deciphering some of his words occasionally, but he's fun & funny. Perhaps Date Dos w/ Senor Willie will take place at some point this week. The weekend was productive & I accomplished quite a bit: laundry, a couple of dates, took in a movie, completed some of my online class, walked, ab work, arm work, did not spend excessively for once.  Wait wait wait... I take that back! I did buy a friend of mine a plane ticket. Ouch to the pocket book! So very worth it, though. "The 5 Year Engagement" is cute and funny. Check it out!

Anyhoo, I'm quite curious to know what's happening with all of you Delights. Babies are growing. Vacations are ending. Settling in to new places/spaces. Gimme the triple scoop.

Celebrations:
=  A productive weekend
=  MUSIC helping motivate me
=  Bowling
=  Learning better eating habits
=  Laughing a whole lot
=  Chatting w/ my dad & brothers today

Objectives: 
=  Mail photos to the family
=  Schedule a spa day
=  Ab work daily
=  Finish this online course
=  Be open to all new things

Happy Sunday!

Real Date # 3

Pasta eating and cosmic bowling are what's in store for me this evening. If it's a dandy time, I'll invite him to the movies tomorrow. I've done a good amount of fitness this past week and will start to focus on my bulging belly. Wanna be sexy as Ms. Magic over there/here/everywhere.  Personally, I want to focus on what I'll do next in life: Counsel? Profess? Hang glide? Who knows!?! Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend. Happy Father's Day to your partners y papas!

Held Hostage By My Own Devices

Hey Gals! I'm sure I've mentioned before how I'm held hostage by the vast and great inter-web and by Scramble With Friends. I freakin' love this game, although I think I'm linked up with a slightly less than honest  opponent. Whatcanyado?!?! Anyhoo, between SWF and instant messaging potential suitors, I have fallen down on my maintenance duties. My apartment is sorta a mess & I need to be doing a bunch more fitness. Change begins now! Once I'm finished blogging, I'll dust & vacuum, do some ab & arm work, and walk if it's not blazing hot outside. Otherwise, I'll jump rope. The fellas have got to wait. :-) I gotta say that I'm enjoying the dating and date-setting-up process. I'll keep you all posted as the fella follies take place. ** I love the Wheat Thins commercials with Alec Trebek! **

Objectives for the Evening:
♣  Dust, vacuum, fitness
♣  Watch game 2 & cross my eyes that the Thunder win
♣  Don't get sucked in to the interweb or Facebook
♣  Relax

Celebrations:
♥ Courageously (or maybe it was just nuts) wearing a dress today despite having
not shaved my legs.  :-D
♥  Getting compliments on my outfit despite having not shaved my legs
♥  iHeart radio since I cannot get Pandora at work
♥  Maple & brown sugar oatmeal

Enjoy the night Gals!
