Awwwww
I love that Kiddo introduces me to her friends as "probably the coolest person you'll ever meet."

Did you ever get that feeling?
You know, the one where something just isn't right?
I had that one this morning and was having a really hard time shaking it off. So I started thinking about my day. Slept an hour later than usual because I decided to skip the gym today. Went downstairs to make breakfast only to find that our pooch (who is getting up there in years) released the pee monster on the floor. Ugh. Went about my mopping and threw her blankie in the washer.
Went upstairs and stared into the closet. Lots of clothes, nothing to wear. I know, I know. Finally figured it out and was only a couple minutes "late" for work. Still feeling some hidden blah so I called MommaShyner (she's all good) and BruddaShyner (he's all good too). Kiddo's safe at school. Lovey's at work. All is more or less right in my universe.
My horoscope for today said:
With your credit cards maxed out you may be thinking that your bank account is not as healthy as it could be. But today you are likely to receive some news that indicates otherwise. You may get a windfall of some kind, or discover that your stock portfolio is generating healthy returns. It's a good day for paperwork. Enjoy this great day!
Well, fortunately, my cards aren't maxed out, but I can certainly feel the part about the bank account. She's not overdrawn by any means, she would just like some friends in there. I wonder if I won some lottery money last night.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm all thrown off because I didn't go to the gym this morning and I had no plans of going this evening. Withdrawl!! I may be turning into some sort of gym rat. I found a Krav Maga class (thanks for mentioning that a while back, LeendaDLL) and I am going for the first time next week. That puts me at the gym every weekday. At least the membership won't be going to waste.
I've been trying to eat a little better, so this week, my meals have gone a little something like this:
-
Breakfast – Egg Beaters with a slice of 2% American (mmmm, processed cheese)
-
Snack 1 – Cottage cheese with fruit
-
Lunch – Spinach salad with peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, grated parm and light balsamic viniagrette
-
Snack 2 – Yogurt
-
Dinner – Either orange roughy or salmon with a smidge of a veggie
-
Sometimes a snack 3 – Spoon of peanut butter
A day or two ago, I started craving red meat. Odd because I don't usually eat it – it makes my tummy hurt. Today I decided that I HAD to have it or I might start gnawing on my arm. Oh McDonalds. So convenient. So greasy. So delicious. Or at least I think you were delicious because I am quite certain that I didn't even chew that double cheeseburger. I did, however, chew my salad. I think I can be red meat free once again for another couple months.
That's pretty much all I've got for today. Sometimes I just need to get stuff out of my head, you know? I'm off for now. Gotta go get the girls their 2 month checkup. Hope all is well with all of you.
SMALLVILLE TONIGHT!!
The Fridaylutions of a heavy procrastinator
Seriously, I suck. But we'll leave my personal life out of this. Last week I had some goals, let's review:
- Force Lovey and Kiddo into 2 hours of daily family time. WIN – Guitar Hero brings people together
- Schedule a personal training session (it's free, thankfully). WIN – I went on Thursday and couldn't lift my arms all weekend!
- Hit the gym Monday and Wednesday morning, Friday after work. 2/3 WIN – I went Monday and Wednesday and Thursday too!
- Yoga on Tuesday night. WIN – I really enjoy this instructor. She makes me want to learn more about yoga.
- Finish all week one classwork BEFORE Saturday morning. FAIL – Ended up finishing by Saturday afternoon though.
- Stick to the eating plan. WIN – weekends are freebies and I ate well all week.
- Drink more water. A lot more. WIN – I am pretty gosh darn hydrated. I can see it in my face. Shh, Roboco, I know I'm looking a little hellish today.
- Be more focused at work. Eh, more or less WIN.
- Outline Chapter One of upcoming novel wannabe. EPIC FAIL – Can you not tell from my writing that it shouldn't go into book form?
- Cheer the Fins on to victory. WIN/FAIL – I did my part, the Fins did not do their part.
- Adult time with Lovey on Friday or Saturday night. FAIL – I felt like crap on Friday so I took a Flexoril. Bad move. I could not stay awake for more than an hour all day Saturday.
- Finish the current book I'm reading. (leisure) WIN – I have three more leisure books in the house before I consider ordering more.
- Install Joomla downstairs and read first two chapters of Joomla book. EPIC FAIL – There are less hours in a day and less days in a week than I thought.
So, more good than bad last week which is always nice.
Let us look at the goals for this week.
- Take yo ass to the gym at least four times this week. That membership is not free.
- Really, wrap up the school work earlier in the week. Maybe even try to get ahead? Do you really want to do homework while you're on vacation? MOVE IT!
- Try to find time to add stretching to the routine.
- At least install Joomla. One step at a time. Maybe read one chapter.
- Drag Lovey out of the house for a friend's party on Saturday…if I can stay awake.
- Research a book on writing a book. (Any help greatly appreciated on this one.)
- Pick up a bikini top and maybe a cute dress for Saturday.
- Make a conscious effort to be more optimistic.
Ok, I'm burnt.
Let me end this on a good note. While payroll screwed up my first check of the new year, they did scrw it up in my favor so I'll have an extra ~$100 in my next check. Hooray! Have a good one!
