Your Tuesday presented as my Monday

When your hair is a flat mess, could that be an indicator of how your day will turn out?  I don’t know the answer to that question, but I will be sure to let you know :P   There are sayings such as “flat as a pancake”.  Well.  Let me tell you, I can go one better.  Howzabout flat as a crepe.  A ‘professionally made’ crape.  *nods*  now you now what I am talking about.

I do believe this will sum up everything :P

Have a great crepe day!

Of Snakes and Sleep

I have had, oh… about 3 hrs of sleep.  That’s okay though, I am a tough woman and I can handle such things.  I am woman hear me scream like a banshee should something slithery cross my path :P

The calendar tells me that we have less than 30 days until the official beginning of spring.  As I gaze at the backyard, and still see clumps of snow about, I have to question the validity of that statement.  We have suffered mightily this winter, in fact I believe the entire country has.  I think Mother Nature owes us big time, and it is my desire, no hope-filled prayer that the first day of spring takes our breath away.

I noticed yesterday, that while I was playing with the dogs, I pulled a muscle in my butt.  You may find yourself asking, how is that possible!  Trust me.. it is very possible.  Also I have noted that I have just about 6 wks before running kicks back in.  I have been a bad, bad girl and have not been visiting the gym.  So yeah, I am thinking that will start this afternoon.  I am ever aware though, if that be the case, then I will have to get a nap in before I go, and gee, will I have time to color my hair too?  I guess i can style it a bit so the roots don’t show and then  do it when I get back.  Ya just gotta have plans, I’m telling you.

I want a set of keys just like that :P

One of my friends, Allen, is on his way to the Florida keys.  I hope for his safety, he doesn’t brag too much.  I’m going to have to put a hurtin’ on that boy if I hear anything that resembles the description of drinking an ice-cold adult beverage on the sandy beach.

Let’s see… what else.  Oh yes, I am really grooving on having 2 days off from work every week.  It’s like a mini vacation at 5 pm every Saturday.  You see, I am not that hard to please.  Uhm, don’t ask my sons, they may disagree with that ‘pleasing’ comment.

Not much more to say, other than I am in dire need of more coffee.  Maybe I might even post some mobile pics later.  Maybe not.  Best course of action is not to get too excited.  You know how well I follow up on stuff  that.

Hallmark Holiday Time

Yep, it’s that time again.  Time for people to spend outrageous amounts of money to show their love interest just how much they love them. *blink*  If they don’t know by now, do you really think a diamond is going to send the message home?  Do you think that “maybe” you might be going overboard?  Possibly.

Oh yeah… 1 year ago, right around this time, my divorce was final.  Irony, you are becoming my bestest friend :P

Happy V-Day for all of you suckahs out there!

Infomercials you got me again!

Every now and again, I do these ponderings posts. One would think that I would be on some kind of schedule, but mmm… that’s not how I roll, so I don’t see THAT happening in the foreseeable future :P

Okay, so here we go.

Infomercials-The bane of TV
There’s nothing like coming home from a long day at work, sitting down to turn off the brain, and find that as you surf the boob tube, people are hawking their wares. My oh my, how life would be grand if every item out there did what it was actually professed to do. Improve your love life, eat better, lose weight, be a millionaire, get rid of depression, save the world, banish acne forever, makeup that erases the evidence of age, undergarments that will give us that perfect hourglass shape, or perhaps even a boob job without even having surgery. Literally every single part of our lives can be impacted by some product that is being peddled.

So… yesterday, I am flipping the channels, and I see that Tony Robbins has a series that will give you “emotional muscle”. Learn how to deal with every day stresses, take control of your life, da da da.. I have to admit, I could feel the vacuum of Tony Robbin’s promise of a life transformation simply by making a personal commitment, and oh yeah, buy all of those CDs. So for $14.95 (risk free trial offer) plus S&H of course, I can:
Create the Life You Were Meant to Lead – One of Unlimited Possibility
Learn Practical Solutions to Take Charge of Your Life
Determine Your Motive for Action to Get the Results You Want
Develop the Psychology to Overcome Any Challenge

Sounds like a good deal, right? A free trial of $14.95 no risk money back offer. I am sooo there. So i start scanning through the website, because yeah, $14.95 sounds good, but what’s the total? How much is this ultimately going to cost me? Only when i got to the ordering page, do I get the 411. For the Ultimate Edge series, I am looking at $329.79 (14.95 trial + 14.99 s&h + 3 x 99.95 mo billings). Whoa… now that’s a chunk of change! Annnnndd… Included in the Ultimate Edge™ program ordered today are 7 volumes of Tony’s audio magazine, PowerTalk® which includes automatic membership into the audio series. Monthly you’ll receive two specially produced CD issues of Power Talk® for just $19.95 per issue plus $3.99 shipping and handling.  *BLINK*

The above information is directly from the website Ultimate Edge.  This is verbatim so that it does not include my biased opinion.  Heck… Tony Robbins has literally transformed literally millions of people’s lives, he is very good at what he does and is respected by many.  That is not my issue.  I guess it is the smooth way Gunthy Renker markets their stuff, that irritates me to no end.  I mean come on… if they had just said how much it was in the infomercial, I wouldn’t have wasted all of that time digging around the website.

Tony, Tony, Tony…. your reputation is what sells your product.  Do you ‘really’ need Gunthy Renker?

Begin Anew

So, while I was pondering over things to do at work, my hands accidentally made their way over to facebook, and of course, I was reminded about the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure on May 1. Do I run, or do I walk? Decisions, decisions. I’ve decided that I am going to do the run, so it’s time to get my fat butt back into shape. So, after completely slacking over Christmas, and a few other vices that we won’t even talk about, I am doing 2 wks of workouts at home, just so that I can keep up when I head back to the gym. My knees are already barking at me, but I knew that was going to happen. Water retention, weight… yeah, you know what I mean. So there it is.

Today was 20 min of Cardio and another 10 min for strengthening.  I focused on upper body, specifically: military press, push ups, tricep push ups, delts, tricep kicks, and bicep curls.  Since I don’t have a sheet to go from (was going to do that today and forgot), I forgot about lat rows, but will make sure to get those on Thursday.

Party on.

A noteworthy mention

Go to  Manybooks.net for free ebooks. I think those would be perfect to download to my ipod to read whenever I have the opportunity

I do NOT ignore my blog

I just… uhm… drag my feet sometimes!  That being said, I do believe I need to get this baby back up to snuff and stick with it.  Yes?  Yes.  And with that dear friends, family, countrymen…  Have a great day!
