I now understand why they call her mother?

It was sunny last Monday and rainy last Tuesday and sunny that Wednesday and snowy on Thursday and Friday she was just fine. I mean, it was sunny again… hehehe. Saturday came and the sun was out but only for a few hours and then snow on into Sunday and yesterday windy… my goodness the forecast for tomorrow is sun!!
My sister has these times during that time of the month when she would call and just say “there’s nothing wrong, I’m just down today, but I know I’ll be better tomorrow” and she is. Sometimes, caught up in our thoughts or something, we just are not as bright and sunny as we’d like to be. hehe. I wonder what’s wrong with mother nature, what’s up with all these mood swings? Heat flashes? and Floods… ahaha. Kindda great to know that at least the current president is admitting to the fact that there is something wrong instead of hiring some scientists to prove that nothing’s wrong. That was a waste of our gov funds.

In other news… I have officially finished my first week at boot camp! Proud of myself. I think I did well – I do have to say that I may not do it again next month? Still uncertain, because – 1) it’s really expensive and 2) I might do some traveling? Maybe home (Co) and 3)well.. there’s no three.. I really feel that in this last week – I’ve done more than I’ve done in my life time. I’m eating right, I’m working out, and I feel great. I lost 2 lbs! Woohoo. But there should be other options out there that don’t put a hole in my pocket. Now that Ber has a (let’s hope) stable job again, we might be on the same path down eliminating our debts but still – never enough. I must save!!

Sides, how will I afford to go on all the amazing trips I plan to go on this year if I spend all my paychecks on boot camp!! Hehehe. [jk.. but really] I want to go back and visit my family and friends. It’s been a good three years since I’ve done a real trip back – last year I attended HND in Co but didn’t really visit with anyone. So yeah, my heart is longing for some good loving. Then the girls and I are doing another reunion, it’s been two years since our New York Trip. This time we’re going to meet up in Vegas and do a road trip to the south west coast etc. I can’t wait – I’m just a bit confused about my feelings about the whole thing since now there’s MORE people going – I know that the more the merrier but that just means lots of cooks in the kitchen. I hope we can settle some activities, costs, etc soon!! Lastly… I’m super uber excited for my final summer bang at the No Doubt concert in July with some lady friends of mine from work. I love Gwen, I can’t wait to see them perform!!

So yeah… my travels for the year. No where far. Perhaps if Ber’s job is a little more stable, we may do Hawaii next year? Or a somewhere Europe! Man – with a mortgage, I can barely move. I guess it’s a lifestyle choice… in the LONG run – we’ll have some equity and can get a greater investment (bigger house) but in the short run, no elaborate trips!

Confessions of a Chocolholic

Yep, that’s me. I find it that that is the hardest thing for me to get rid of in my lifestyle change. “I know that it’s not good for me but I can’t resist” says the smoker and he dies of lung cancer. Man… I’m going to die of some kind of high cholestrol count cause of the sugars that I consume… hehehe.

So – the story goes… he went out last night with some brother/friends/family and watched the UFC thing like they do on a regular, nothing wrong with that but it was a school night and he came home wasted. I don’t know how bad it was because I knocked out at 8ish in preparation for my early session this morning and — grrr… at 2pm, he got up and puked and at that point until I “woke up”, I did not sleep. A million things rushed through my mind – I tossed and turned and tried to concentrate on other things or just one thing or my breathing and on and on my mind kept racing and I rolled over to look at the clock and saw that it was 3:40am ALREADY. Man – I wanted to kill him!! Closed my eyes and knocked out for 15min and the alarm went off and I got up and left for my first day of Boot Camp!

Grr.

Then I tell Megan this afternoon about my experience and she tells me that a friend of her’s went in for a sleep study some time ago and the same happened to her. She’d told the doctor that she’s was ‘sorry’ for not having slept for two hours and the doc told her that she’d fallen asleep after the first 10 min, but not into a ‘deep’ sleep… and that perhaps that’s what happened to me. I didn’t get the sleep I wanted, but had fallen alseep. But IDK. I can list off all the things that ran through my mind and remember all the tossing and turning and turning over pillows… I almost fell alseep at work this afternoon, thank goodness things started to pick up and that KEPT me awake.

I saw Confessions of a Shopoholic this weekend. It was nice. A “cute” chickflic I can say. At first with the preview – I’d thought that she didn’t know about credit card bills and that she’d only used credit cards like water because of her “magic cards” voice over as as childe but it was nice that they wrote into the script for Rebecca to be this witty journalist. I love Isla Fisher, she is amazingly cute and did a great job. I knew she’d make another hit after Definitely Maybe, I liked her character in there too as you can tell [chick flick softy]. It was kindda predictable that she was going to end up with Luc; oh amazing body, that Hugh Dancy. I wouldn’t mind looking at it twice, especially if he were in a bicycle outfit like in the Jane Austin Book Club. Hehehe… I think there should’ve been another male lead but I guess that will make things even more complicated than they were since she already has the friend and the parents and there was the Leslie character. Ahh, I wished I had spidery long legs, too bad my mom is the shortest in her family and my dad… well he is the tallest in his family but um, he’s only 5’3″.

All in all, this is a fun movie, I think that even the younger audience [girls of course] could enjoy. We want EVERYTHING… mine mine mine!!! But with it comes lots of consequenses of course! Man… some of these younger generations who are being handed everything from their parents like cell phones, the brand names, and BIG allowances are not getting the values of hard work, I tell you. I had to work to get all the finer things in life. [deep sigh]

well – my first day of boot camp was good. i think I’ll have a good month – then perhaps after that, I’ll sign up for a membership at Golds or something. nighty night. up before the sunrise!

To tired to function

I’ve been up since 5am this morning. that means… 6, 7, 8, 9, 10… I’m two hours shy of being up for 20 hours. In four more hours – I’d be up for a whole entire day…

Ahhh… I thought that volunteering to help out with this night shift would be nice for the fellow – who needs to take the day off… and my selfish self – wanted the day off so that I can go and talk to freelance clients – grr.. I know – So it worked out but now I’m really feeling it.

I don’t think I’ll get up until 8 or 9 tomorrow! I know.. Off track.. I didn’t want to get off track.. but I already know that I’m going to be off a little – grr, cause I have to work this Sunday – night too. Which means [dot dot dot].

hopefully these couple of days don’t throw my body off. no more hehe for me, i’m at a point where i’m ready to shout ahhhhhh!!!! [breathe]

i can do it, i can do it. just one more hour! i don’t want coffee either – dont want to have to stay up longer than i have too. and man… shucks – i am really “doing” work tonight. we are so backed up on our commercial side – it’s not even funny. i know that some nights – the night person still has time to step away… me taking these precious 3 minutes of a break to type this out is going to pay for it later… grr.

k – no more complaining… must concentrate.
