I'm sick!

I'm sick today :( My coworkers can attest to this, but I rarely call in sick. Yesterday I came home from work and went to bed. Like at 6PM. WTF! I was (and still am) going from freezing cold to boiling hot. My right ear is ringing and I can barely hear out of it. My body aches. I wonder if this sickness came on because I have been working out so much? And because my immunity is down because of that? I don't know. I do know that I'm at home today, attempting to take it easy. I watched one of my favorite movies, Patch Adams. Always makes me cry. I've cleaned up a bit, put some clothes in the dryer. I'm such a busy person all the time that I don't know how to relax. Well, I did last night because my body was so physically tired that it wouldn't let me do anything but sleep! So here it is, roughly 10:30AM and I'm already bored. Sheesh!

For those of you who knew this, we had a Chili Cook-off Contest at work to raise funds for our Relay for Life team. Our department won (along with 2 others)!! We get a free jean day out of it. The name of our team was, "The Beans Don't Lie" and we had a sombrero crock pot filled with all the fixin's...like Fritos, sour cream, onions and cheese. I decorated aprons too, complete with a bean wearing a sombrero and a mustache. hahaha!!!!

I mentioned that I have been working out alot. It's because I'm trying to lose weight for a wedding I'll be in, in November. So far so good! I met with an old friend, we'll call him King McHotty - and he gave me a workout plan to follow. Only his idea of getting me into shape is having me visit the gym 2 times a day. Which is fine, but now I'm sick....so maybe I need to re-think this you know? But wow, the results after only a few days is phenomenal. When you can physically see a difference, you know something is going right!

Went to a Mardi Gras party at Studio 1219 last Saturday. It was a fundraiser for the Studio. What a good time! Had two glasses of wine (I don't even like wine, but this stuff was good), appreciated some art from local artists, spent some quality time people watching, had some great little appetizers and enjoyed some time with my good friends KT, Nada and her husband Shon. Would for sure do that again. Sure was a nice change from just going to the bar. These people were actually grown up and I'm betting they all had jobs too. Again, a nice change!

Well...signing off for now, maybe I'll go take a nap and this annoying ringing in my ears will finally go away!! TTFN~

Building some brain cells!

I just love when I learn something new. At my current job (in which I do really like) I know a lot of what I'm doing. So sometimes I learn things, but for the most part, I am that "go-to" kind of person. Not a bad thing, it is what it is. So to get to my point, not a whole lot of opportunity to learn new things. But today, I worked at my second job and learned a whole mess of stuff. It was AWESOME. I love that my thoughts were jumbled and that I had that fresh-out-of-training-better-write-this-down-or-else-I'll-forget-it kind of day. I worked from 9AM-8:30PM tonight, and it didn't even feel like I was there for more than a couple of hours. Time just flew by! I am grateful for the opportunity to learn these new things, and to offer my input to make things more efficient. It's a miracle....I had to actually use my brain today, instead of it just running on auto-mode. How refreshing!

Sheesh....

Hi everyone, I normally have been blogging on MySpace, but a lot of people I know are using this site to blog on, so I've decided to do this in addition to the other one. So I thought I'd take a bit of time from this rainy, blah Sunday morning to talk about things. But first, I need to get my slippers on, so I'll be right back.

Okay, I'm back. See how fast that was? Mission accomplished, my toes are now getting warmer as I type. I wonder if typing is considered a form of exercise? Now that I'm thinking about that, my hands do seem very in shape, they aren't fat, they're muscular. So to answer my own question, yes, typing is INDEED a form of exercise. Glad I thought that out.

So as I said earlier this year, I am on a mission to lose weight for my dear friend Theresa's wedding. I vowed to myself, "I will not be the big girl in this wedding!". So, I joined Weight Watchers on Jan 3rd, started exercising at least 5 days a week and so far, I've lost 19.75 pounds. Not too bad! For the first time in my life, I feel very motivated. Now don't get me wrong, I have cheated, but I've always gotten back on the dieting train and it's been full steam ahead. Pretty proud of myself really. I have a lot more to go, but for now, my jeans don't fit, I needed to buy a belt and overall, I feel very healthy. Yeah!

Took Lady Shitzalot to a different vet, just to see what they think about her "issues". She's actually gotten alot better, with no messes...good news! Without paying for a biopsy of her intestines (that cost is about $400 or so), the new vet's theory is that she has bacteria in her intestines, causing the..ahem...TROTS. A blood test, shaving the fur off her ass (haha, it looks funny) and $99 later, my cat is hopefully on the road to getting better. I even went to the health food store and got her some very low carb food, $18 a bag, but she loves it. Now if I could just get her to start using the toilet so I don't have to buy litter and smell her nastiness. Oh well, another day I suppose!

I ended my contract with the YMCA for my gym time because my rate went from $25 to $47. So I'm trying out a new gym in town and so far, I like it. I can already tell there is some catching Eye Candy to look at while I'm sweating it out. Not too shabby! I love watching the women come in there with their cute little outfits, fake boobs and makeup. Who the HELL wears makeup to the gym? Obviously, those girls aren't ready to work out, they are there to show off. And you know what, it makes me laugh. Because I'm sure the Hotty McHott meatheads are going to notice them. NOT! Know why? Because meatheads check out themselves in the mirror, not everyone else! So I enjoy watching these women making spectacles of themselves. hahahaha

Still playing volleyball on Thursday nights. Wow, our team needs some work! We have not won a game. We've won matches, but no games. I don't know if I've ever been on a team that loses this bad. I still get some good spikes and blocks in every once in a while and it is a good workout, but I really wish we could get it together! Next year will be different I think. We'll practice more and choose people to play with that aren't afraid to go after the ball. It's a volleyball for crying out loud ladies! It's not going to hurt you! Well, unless you take one in the face, that does hurt, gotta admit. Sometimes I think we are playing in slow motion, drives me crazy. Next year Annette, next year.

Just found out that my parents are coming over, hopefully to help me with my "honey-do" list I make for my father. He asked me about 2 weeks ago, "when are you going to get married so he can deal with this list?". My response, "why should I get married if you're here to do the list". LOL
