tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108602002011-04-21T17:29:49.956-04:00I have recently come to a sudden intuitive realization of how entertaining life can be. I do not mean parties, vacations and other sporadic attempts at delectation. I mean everyday common events that happen throughout our days that offer us immeasurable amounts of amusement and wonder. So I have decided to record these things as I run into them - mainly for my own personal indulgence, but also for anyone else that can share in my newfound appreciation for life!Sissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11914423969956857206noreply@blogger.comBlogger1931100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10860200.post-1117205494326446122005-05-27T10:46:00.000-04:002005-05-27T10:51:34.330-04:00

Jeez Louise!! Can't a baby go full term around here. The new site is up. She ain't pretty. I think the term spartan would probably be suitable but she's all mine and with some help I intend to fix er' up. Thanks sissy for the push. Ha! Get it? Push...baby I kill me.

Thankey Mrs. Bou!! Here we go folks. 1. Number of DVD's that I own: I currently have 78 DVD's in my library. This however is a new thing.

You’re going to have to stay with me on this one. The route is circuitous but we’ll get there, I promise. I hate to shop for clothes. There are many other things that I don’t mind shopping for such as groceries, alcohol, cars, music, ammunition et al. You get the picture. Shopping for clothes however, is one of those things that I will put off until the bitter end. And I mean the B-I-T-T-E-R end

Sissy gave me a ring last night for a little chat and it felt like we were breaking up. Or better yet, it felt like the conversation a parent would have with their 30 yr old who's still living at home. O.K. , it wasn't that bad but I get the hint. I'm off into the wild. Sissy's even going to chip in for my security deposit. That said, I'm still going to post here for a couple of days. Richard

I enjoyed Bou's post about Disney World. Man, I really enjoyed that place. I might have enjoyed Epcot more than the Magic Kingdom. OK who am I kidding, Epcot serves beer. You know I loved that place. Anyway, for those of us challenged by geography or fiscal liquidity try this site. It's a virtual Disney beta.

The first time I saw Pat Tillman was on ESPN. The show was highlighting College Football Super Studs. Pat was a Junior I think, but what I remember thinking was that this guy didn’t fit the mold. With his long hair and flips flops he appeared more surfer than samurai middle linebacker. Flash forward a few years and Pat was drafted to play in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals. Again, I remember

Way to go Sissy on your new site. It looks great!! So, I’m left all alone with no parental guidance. MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Somebody cue the music and tap that keg!! I’m kidding of course but that reminds me……. When I was younger (teens) and my parents would go out of town sans the kids, they would ship my little bro and me’ off to the grandparents. Then, my father would chain up all the entrances

Harvey got me thinking when he stated that a particular band (Autograph)I was enjoying was “form without substance, body without soul”. You know what? He was right. But wasn’t that basically the 80’s in a nutshell? I wasn’t out trying to save the world or reach an enlightened state of mind. I just wanted to be with friends, hang out on the beach, chase girls, keep my car running, chase girls,

So good ole Spurs calls me tonight and we're discussing blog stuff. Then he asks what my plans are for the weekend. Plans for the weekend? I'm supposed to have plans. Well, I am 23, I guess that would be the normal thing. His response? "You're a single, eligible, female...you need to be out!" Well, I've struggled with this for a while. It's a Catch 22!

I fell off the horse this week! I've been going at full speed for about 6 weeks now, working out, eating right, being healthy in general. This week I fell hard. I did the very minimum this week at Curves, only doing 30 minutes on Sunday and Monday. I used my exhaustion as an excuse not to go, although it's not like I caught up on any sleep while NOT being at the gym. And oh, what I've eaten.

This lack of sleep I've been having, the nausea, the odd cravings, the back ache, my pants fitting tighter...I think I'm pregnant! Check out the comments from this post, I think people have began to spread on my possibly "expecting". May have even seen some pictures in the tabloids. Now, if I am pregnant, I need to think about some serious issues: names, schools, types of diapers, to spank or

I just don't get it! I've been blogging about my issues getting enough sleep or quality sleep. We're talking for almost a week now! Today, while training, I was dead! I was yawning the whole time (trying to cover it up by writing on the flipchart or being behind the room). I could not wait until I could go home and pass out! I kept thinking, as soon as I got home, I would just go straight

First, I would like to say Thank You for all of your positive comments. It felt surprisingly good and was quite unexpected. Next I want to apologize for the font size. I’m afraid old habits die-hard. In my previous life as a Financial Analyst, I would often times be called upon by “Senior Management” (those are sarcastic “”’s) to put together large quantities of data. This would happen most

I must admit that this is a little intimidating. I've often thought about blogging and what I may or may not write about. But I never seriously contemplated actually doing it. I mean seriously, writing was never what I would have called a "forte" during my academic career and this is writing to the power of x. So here I am, after a little subtle coercion from Sissy and Lupus (Napster) typing

Last week, I lived by Morrigan's philosophy, "You'll have time to sleep when you die". I got up at 5:45 am to go workout, attended training from 8:00 am - 5:30 pm, would stay and have dinner with some of the managers and then spend time with some of my friends that were also attending training from out of town. I'd stay out until about 12 or so, go home, and repeat. So, by Friday, I was ready

Exactly 3 months ago, to the minute, I started And What Next... Why?? Morrigan talked about the stuff her sister Boudicca blogged about and constantly had me in stitches. She finally gave me the address to her sister's blog and I loved it! I went through her archives...just couldn't get enough. It was addicting! And she was expressing a lot of the thoughts I had (minus the kids and husband :-)

That Dream has really been bothering me. I really want to know what it meant, if anything. I think what bugs me is how detailed it was, how many details there were, and how much I remembered. I submitted the dream to a dream analysis site. Although, they do not choose to analyze all the dreams submitted. So my chances of getting an answer are slim. So, I looked up a dream dictionary and

A spider or palmetto bug runs across the carpet? They don't die by the poison of the spray....they die by drowning or suffocating in it. I use about half a can per bug. How I clean it up? I scoop it with paper or the dust pan. I can't pick it up with toilet paper or paper towels! EH!! And then I wear shoes for the rest of the evening.

This past week, the most sleep I got in one night was 6 hours, even though I averaged 4-5. I'm an 8 hours of sleep kind of girl! So needless to say, I looked forward to my rejuvenate sleep last night. No alarm clock, no appointments, no phone calls, nada! The good news...I did sleep from midnight until 10am, only waking up once to Full House on Nick at Nite, dying of thirst. Now for what made

I remember when I was a kid, driving around in my Grandpa's old pick up truck. Our coversations would go something like this: Grandpa: How many toes do you have? Me: 10 Grandpa: No, guess again. Me: *thinking hard* 8? Grandpa: No, come on, how many toes do you have? Me: *taking off my socks and shoes* 10 Grandpa! Grandpa: No you do not have 10 toes. Me: Grandpa! How many toes

While checking my Site Meter, if found the following searches. I have a feeling a lot of these people were quite dissapointed! Great! I see a lawsuit coming because some dumbshit OD's on Baby Asprin to get rid of all their damn wrinkles. This one just sucked in general! :-) I would never have thought #2 for this one. Very odd. Again, why do I see a lawsuit coming? ;-) I just thought this

Again, I think if I were to post a recipe, everyone would avoid it like the plague due to my absence of cooking abilities. However, Momma Bou is hosting the Carnival of Recipes this week, so of course I must participate. So I figured I would post a recipe you all would trust more from me and possibly enjoy more. The Crown of Roses 1 oz. Crown Royal ½ oz. amaretto 1 oz. pineapple juice ¼ oz.

Well, other than my mishap Monday, this week while in training has been full of good news, rays of hope, lifted stress, some fun flirting, and exciting things. Such a change for the past couple of months unfortunately. Then this afternoon, all in a few hours, every thing gets shot down back to the way they were Monday. It's like I got a couple of days of escape (almost literally), and then

Today I was actually participating in a training (rather than facilitating) along with other managers. All these managers I have either worked with in the past or trained myself. And a lot of them are very close friends now. I've said before I really dislike my job now. I feel like I got the "Go to Jail" card - can't pass go, can't collect $200. As much as I am scheming a way to get out of

Ok, one last post and I'm off to bed. I was watching the Ellen show that I had taped, while doing a little blogging, and she had Neil Diamond on her show. I'm really going to show how old my soul is by saying this...but I really love some Neil Diamond. I can sing just about every song he's done! I was only allowed to listen to country music until the age of 10. When we weren't listening to

Okay, so Blog Mom Bou and Blog Sis VW have a competition to see who will get to their goal weight first. They both have multiple posts smack talking, talking about who has the upper hand and even posting their weights. Posting my weight is where I drew the line. But I will use them as motivation and will post how my days go for support. Well, other than my day from hell, it was a good day

Sit down with a beer for this one...you're going to need it! The end of this is the kicker! I got up early this morning, grabbed my piece of toast, and went to Curves for 30 minutes. Went to work and was just slammed. I've been out of the office for the past 2 weeks for training and will be out of the office all this week and next for training, so today was my only day to get things

Sylph was the Word of the Week for Week #2. Bou, being the supportive blogmother she is, started Week #2 off with a bang by announcing Sissy's Word of the Week. She then followed by saying that her dreams of being sylph-like were not to be. I don't know what's she's smokin'! Bou's such an over achiever that she uses it again when she says she has made peace with the fact that she's not shaped

Today was a long and emotional day. About 10:30 tonight, I realized I hadn't eaten, didn't really want to cook and thought it be good to be around people, so I decided to drive across the street to Applebee's and get something. They sat me at a booth. It's weird enough eating alone, let alone sitting in a huge booth by yourself! I was reading the menu when a guy came over that had been

So I guess this show that was on Oprah a few days ago was a big deal as I got 5 phone calls from family and friends asking if I had seen it. Supposedly the book, YOU: The Owners Manual is #1 on all the top seller lists and is now hard to find due to being sold out. Supposedly doctors are getting tons of phone calls and visits asking about some of the solutions and advice that were on the show.

No one told me I had to have a dick to talk about electronics. I didn't know that was a boys only club. I am into electronics. I spend tons of money at Best Buy and on eBay on electronics. I understand the lingo, can speak it and enjoy it. I like gadgets. And when I am going to make a purchase, I know what I want. Today was just a simple purchase. I was looking for a 1 GB mini SD memory

Bloggrandpa Harvey liked Blogmom Boudicca's thought "To live in America can be such a wonderful thing" that he thought it would be a great tattoo. This got me to thinking of my mom's tattoo which comes along with an interesting story. I had been wanting a tattoo but wasn't sure if I could take the pain nor did I know what to get. Plus, I HATE needles. I will not give blood because of how much

I am exhausted! I know I'm supposed to be full of energy, but I feel like I could go into hibernation right now. Monday - Wednesday I was getting ready for all the trainers to come visit Columbia, setting up hotels, scheduling training for 120 people next week, amongst other things. A little busier than usual. And then I insisted on going to the gym every morning, meaning I had to get up at 6

My posting has been a bit scant in the past few weeks. I honestly have been concentrating on other parts of my life that I needed to dedicate my thoughts to - I didn't feel I could share these thoughts until I understood them myself. I still can't for the most part. I felt kind of guilty at first for not posting. I didn't want to miss out on all the fun in the blogosphere nor did I want to

I ran into something totally bizarre the other morning. Stuff I'd never seen before. The sky was a light blue/pink, the sun barely peeking through. The air was fresh, clean with light dew on the skin. It was a nice cool temperature lacking the humidity instigated sweat. There were birds out, chirping. There was hardly any traffic, no long lines at traffic lights, easy to turn left at a green

So, now that my job sucks and I've determined that there is now way out (because I signed my life away for the next year thanks to them paying $15,000 of my tuition), I am determined to find other things to put my time and energy into. First of all, before Morrigan and Bou freak out - YES, I will go back to school this fall at a local school with live people in a real classroom, with tests,

Cowboy's obsession with bacon has been confirmed. The remnants of 2 pounds of bacon - a cup and a half of bacon grease! So why is Cowboy saving a cup and a half of bacon??? Lubricant? Moisturizer? Tanning Lotion? Hair Gel? Cologne? Toothpaste? Butter for his biscuits? Icing for his cake? Coffee in the morning? Are ya rollin' it up and smoking it? A cup and a half of bacon fat!

Warning - Weak stomachs do not continue. Yesterday was a gorgeous day, so I decided to take advantage of the cool temperatures and sunny skies and lay out in the sun for a little bit. I was only planning on staying out for an hour - 30 minutes on each side. Toward the end of my hour, my best friend called and I figured I'd just stay out there until we finished talking. Well, that was 45

Last December, I was training a class full of managers. We were in a small conference room, very relaxed atmosphere. I have a class full of guys....no females...none. I was wearing my typical black pants and a red, black, tan, and white striped sweater.

I went to work out at Curves yesterday. Although it is more comfortable than the typical gym because it is all women, there is still a sense of tension in the room. There are women that look like they've just stepped out of a magazine and there are women that you wonder how they walked inside. There are college students, business women, mothers and retired women. When in the circle, you are

Happy 6th Anniversary Harvey & TNT!!! I struggled trying to think of something to say about the kind of love Harvey and TNT have. Nothing funny, emotional, poetic or dysfunctional that I came up with seemed enough or right. The one thing that did keep coming to mind though was my favorite love song. Now I know TNT has already chosen Harvey, but I see this kind of passion in their love for each

All I can say is, WOW! By MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press Writer LEESBURG, Va. - A Virginia judge sentenced a spammer to nine years in prison Friday in the nation's first felony prosecution for sending junk e-mail, though the sentence was postponed while the case is appealed. Loudoun County Circuit Judge Thomas Horne said that because the law targeting bulk e-mail distribution is new and

I often wonder if there are signs for us to do certain things or make certain decisions. Tammi talked a little bit about things falling into place and I'm glad I'm not the only one that looks for that type of stuff. I tend to be a bit of a logical thinker when it comes to big decisions. I can't rely on a superior being or fate to take care of things for me. I have total control of what happens

I just received my Easter package from my stepmom, dad and sister. Yea, I know it's a little late, but it's just really great to get packages or any type of mail for that matter. I open up the package and there are two cards, one for Easter and one that said Way to Go for getting my AA. My stepmom is very crafty - she does scrap books, crafts around the house, and makes her own cards. Serious

I found the coolest thing at work today while I was bored out of my mind. At Google Maps you can get your usual maps and driving instructions, but then you can also get Satellite Images! Oh, this was so cool and took up the majority of my afternoon!! So I started pulling up images of places I used to live, streets I used to drive and places I like to go.
