Really...

When I was watching the news last night, and they said it was going to rain, I was thinking typical winter rain, a constant sprinkle at the most. But when I pulled out of the garage, I was in for something completely unexpected. We had rain showers. Not a thunderstorm, constant showers, for who knows how long, cause it was raining when I woke up. This has been a really crazy winter.

Record snow fall and low temperatures in December and January. We almost broke the record for the high temperature yesterday. I just can't keep up with this weather.

Random Thoughts...

• I love my Dyson...
• I need to clean my garage out, asap...
• I should paint my kitchen, something I've been doing for at least a year now...

Scatter Brain...

I'm feeling like a drama queen in my own head right now (I hope she doesn't come out)...

Why do all of your fingers have hair on them except your thumb?

Why aren't relationships easy?

I love knitting...

When I'm feeling like this, I wish I was a writer, so I could put my thoughts into clever words...

I'm ready to go home!

This weather is unbelievable...

I need to eat better, a lot better...

ODC...

Operation De-Chunk - That's what I'm about these days. I've been doing well, going to the gym and what-not. I actually finished this program. Which I have tried to many times in the past, but was unsuccessful to say the least. I am proud of the progress that I've made. But I really haven't lost much weight. And I've been going strong for about 9 - 10 weeks. I can tell a difference in my clothes, but I want to see pounds. I want to go down sizes in pants. I know I need to be patient. I am going to have to change my eating habits. I am trying slowly. But sometimes I feel like I'm getting discouraged because the pounds aren't coming off. I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't put on the weight overnight, so I can't expect to lose it overnight. I need to just keep going at it. I've been working hard, and I've never done this well with going to the gym, but I have to stay strong. I don't want to called chunky, 'thick', big, or whatever term people come up with for people my size. I'll settle for average as I will never be a skinny girl.

My motivation is both for getting healthy, and just wanting to look good. My confidence has been lacking lately and that is not my personality at all. Not that I'm vain, but I've always been confident.

Going to hip-hop aerobics today!! It's a great workout!!

My New Toy....

I swear I am like a little kid.
I went and bought Guitar Hero World Tour last night.
The last thing I need, is something else to do after work.
With knitting, and keeping my house clean,
I have enough going on.
But, I will be going on tour, with Guitar Hero.
I've only tried the drums and the Guitar so far.
But I'm going to sing today. And anyone who knows
me knows that I cannot sing. But it will be fun, I can't wait!!

Yes We Can, Change The World...

'Though it seems heaven sent, we aint ready to see a black president."

Or are we?? I went to vote last night, and for the first time in a long time, black people that I didn't know, smiled and said hello to me. The wait to actually vote was an hour. And on my way to the back of the line, my people surprised me. They were smiling, and speaking, and friendly. Now, I hate to stereotype us, but in my experience, we ignore one another if we don't know you. But not last night. I was proud, to cast my vote for Barack Obama. So not only do I think we are ready, we are in need of one!!


It felt good, to make my selections on those 6 pages, page 1 being the most important, and reviewing them once to make sure I didn't make a mistake, and finally pushing that red button to cast my vote!!

I hate to see the polls making it seem like Obama has the election locked down, when we all know that is just not true. I would love to believe that it is, but anything can happen between now and November 4th.

The Randomness...

The season has definitely changed, and I can't say that I'm disappointed. I am cheap, so my house is kind of cold...

Hey fellas, if I tell you that I'm not going to come over your house, don't call me everyday and ask me to ok, that's just dumb...

Hey La, I'm not buying you anything else until I go to STL. Anything local that is...

Do bills ever stop coming???

Christmas is fast approaching, and I want to decorate my house, but I have a lot going on right now, so I guess I should wait...

I created a knitting blog...

I started a workout program a while back, called the couch to 5k, the entire program is 9 weeks, I'm on week 7 (jogging 25 minutes straights). That is like a miracle for me. Now, these are probably the slowest miles ever, but I'm doing it!!

I want to get married and have kids, but I'm starting to lose faith that there is someone out there that I can spend the rest of my life with...
