Shyne

10, X, Ten

Ten is just a crazy number. Sometimes it’s perfection. Ten fingers, ten toes, she’s a 10. It’s also the date that we leave for Mexico. It isn’t really ten days until the wedding though. Unless you count today also, then I guess it works.

I went and picked up my dress yesterday and I am happy with how it looks once it’s on. There might be one thing that I would’ve changed, but it’s so small that I’m probably the only one that would ever even notice it. Let it slide. Woosa.

Today, after purchasing a new keyboard…for my laptop…I await the arrival of the Sears delivery men. Since my efforts in fixing the dryer were thwarted by a basic lack of knowledge and the fear of electrocution, we broke down after about four days and ordered a new washer and dryer. One trip to the laundromat was really more than enough for me. It isn’t terrible. I can go and read, but it’s just kind of a pain. Lazy American!

Dear self: those favors really aren’t going to put themselves together so you might wanna get on that also.

I was asked very recently if I was excited for the wedding/Cancun/moving. Oddly enough, not yet. Somewhere along the line, I think I broke my excited bone (hahahaha, yeah, add your own joke here) and it never got repaired. Maybe it’s some sort of self-defense mechanism. If I’m not excited, I won’t be let down when I actually get to do things. Maybe I’m just a little bit nutty. Yeah, probably that. I think that the last time I was excited about an event was in January when we went to the Steelers game.

I’m considering heading over to Tumblr for my various rants. Apparently it’s easier to do music and photos there. But, seeing as I have a hard time just blogging daily, I don’t know. Although, it might be that much easier to do Tumblr. We’ll see.

Thanks for putting up with this ridiculous brain emptying as I work on actually preparing myself to write something meaningful. Hang in there! I’ll get interesting yet!

D-day

No, not as in war rememberence. Today is the day that I go to pick up my dress with all of its alterations. You should be able to see it here. It looks as though they aren’t making it any more, but that’s cool by me. I’m not one of those frilly girly girls so let me just tell you that me putting on this dress and going through all the preps is really a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You’re welcome, mom. I’m sure, though, that putting on this dress for about an hour will be worth all of the P90X torture that I’ve put myself through, lol.

It’s hard to believe that we’re leaving for Mexico in a mere 8 days. It really seemed like it wouldn’t get here forever and now it’s right on top of us. Sorry that these posts turn into my “honey do” lists for myself, but I’ve gotta focus! Still left to do before we go:

  • Prep the favors
  • Build the playlist
  • Pick up dress
  • Buy shoes (for all of us)
  • Figure out hair and makeup (I’m so not good at that!)

I’m nearly certain that I’m forgetting something as this list is so small. Hopefully it’ll come to me though. I’m going to have to go to the mall and let them paint me like a clown so I have some sort of clue how to work out this whole makeup thing. Yuck.

Yesterday, I made a suggestion to someone and that someone told me that my suggestion was “ugh”. Well, that I can deal with. Heaven forbid that something “ugh” is done for someone besides me. There’s nothing quite like being at the bottom of the totem pole, but hey, I don’t let these sorts of things keep me down. The selfishness and self-centered-ness of others will not throw me off of my game.

With that, I bid you farewell for I have things to get done. See you tomorrow for day 3 of trying to create this new habit of writing daily.

June 1, 2010

Let me make up for that lame post title with this:

That’s right, just 12 days away from the wedding now. It’s just crazy. I still have a couple of things to do that I’m procrastinating on but they really shouldn’t take that long and I know that I’ll get everything done before 4pm on the 12th, lol.

The month of June also brings us Sundress Month. (check the hashtag on Twitter) Unfortunately, the first of June is also the first day of hurricane season, so here in Miami, it’s not exactly a sundress day. I’m hoping, however, that it’ll clear up at some point and I’ll be able to get out into the sun in my dress. I am currently awaiting shipment of two new sundresses from Victoria’s Secret to use this month whilst I lounge in Mexico.

Speaking of Mexico, we have free internet in the room, but it’ll cost me an arm and a leg to use the data plan outside of the hotel, so all Facebook and Twitter updates are going to happen at the same time and likely not for very long. For those keeping track, however, I’ll be uploading photos to my Flickr account and possibly video to my YouTube channel.Link

In other exciting news, this coming Sunday, I’m going to substitute teach….a pole class!! Realistically, all I have to do is the warm-up and do some spotting. I’m not going to teach anything new. We’re only working on three moves, but I know those three and I hope that I can give pointers to help everyone else in the class get those moves down. I thought my teacher was crazy when she asked if I’d do this, but I need to get out of this shell sooner or later and it might as well be sooner. Balls to the wall is my married life motto, lol.

Just as a reminder to myself, I have two book ideas that are, in my head at least, very viable plans. I can’t tell you what they are just yet, but so I don’t forget, it’s about legends and it’s about having a daily before bed.

There is much to do today and every day, so I take my leave. I need to try to get back into the daily writing habit…we’ll see how that goes over. Have a great short week!!

Realizations and random thoughts

  • Blogging every day seems like a good idea in my head but in reality, somehow I can’t seem to find the time. I may reduce myself to a once a week bullet-post laden emptying of my mind.
  • My eye doctor seems to think that he’s “spoiling me”. Sure, he gave me a couple free pairs of contacts from the hundreds of samples he had there, but that does not equal spoiling me. Spoiling me means paying for my contacts or that lovey eye thing you keep trying to get me to do.
  • P90X is really kicking my ass. I am getting pretty ripped up though. Only another three weeks of this torture until I can eat all the Mexican food I can stuff down my gullet.
  • Bought a “scrunch-butt” bikini. Know what? It makes my ass look phenomenal. Okay, maybe not phenomenal but pretty darn good. My name is MiamiShyner and I endorse that bikini.
  • I started watching The Art of Pole DVD set and I already know that I’m gonna love it. Just gotta figure out how to keep it a little cooler in the pole area, lol. I’m a sweaty mess and that just doesn’t work out so well.
  • I will sleep through the radio as an alarm clock two feet from my head, but my daughter’s alarm clock beeping will wake me from across the hall and through doors.
  • Let’s go, Marlins!
  • Dude, there are only like 3 weeks left till our wedding. I feel like I should be stressed out or something. Guess not. 🙂
  • I was supposed to write out a story before the end of April. I failed. I’m sorry. I will still write it and send it out.

That’s it for now.

First day of freedom

Well, here we are. Today is literally the first day of the rest of my life. For the last four years I have struggled daily and trudged into a job that I really disliked but that is no more. The little vacation that I have before we get married and move is one that is well deserved, or at least, it is in my opinion.

While I’m calling it a vacation, it really isn’t. I’ve tasked myself with a lot of things and hopefully I’ll be able to accomplish most, if not all, of them. I have a large bookshelf of books regarding things I’d like to learn programming-wise and it’s my goal to get through at least my huge Dreamweaver book to familiarize myself better with the program, PHP5, and ASP.NET. There are several other things down there as well, but I’m trying to keep my goals realistic.

Today is just uber busy but by next week, I’m sure that I’ll be able to settle into a routine. That’ll keep me from procrastinating at least. I do need the routine aspect to make things into habit…the good stuff anyway. The bad stuff always becomes habit much more easily.

Please pardon me while I make a list. Boring and likely meaningless to you, but of such great help to me. 🙂

  • P90
  • Break
  • Write
  • Pole out (W,F)/Pole in(M,T,R)
  • Break
  • Read

Anywho, time is just ticking away and I’ve gotta get a move on. See bullet number 2 up there? That means I’ll try to send you a tidbit daily. I’ve tried before and failed, but this time could be the winner. Wish me luck!
