yesterday, my admin asked me to make-up a little postcard for a hallway event this week. i went over to istockphoto, then to stockstash looking for an image... of course, i decided to use the image the hippie uses for her website. it's such an awesome image! who can resist... i'm going to make pineapple upside down cake for the party tomorrow. nope, not on my diet, but i can have a piece, right? this morning i started my workout. i did 20 minutes on the recumbant bike and 20 minutes on … [Read more...]

joining the gym
August 9, 2004 by
today i took my butt down to the event center and joined the gym. hmm. i'd still rather start with a trainer, but i can make lots of excuses why i shouldn't go to the gym! i need to stop making excuses. so, now i've put my money where my mouth is, and i have to go. it would be a waste if i didn't, right? i start tomorrow at 7 (thats when they open)... i'm excited and scared all at the same time. … [Read more...]

bahama mama challenge
August 5, 2004 by
my diet has been in full force for the past week. i'm pretty sure i'm down 2.5 lbs. i've been journaling to beat the band, i've been walking at lunch and with daisy at night, and i've been trying to drink all my water! this morning i was over at put down the donut reading joelle's post on the bahama mama challenge. i think 50 lbs by january 15th may be a bit hard for me, but i'm going to try her challenge! now, at one point i lost 35 lbs on weight watchers. i gained 15 back, but i'm still … [Read more...]

knitting class anyone?
August 3, 2004 by
i was reading my new vogue knitting today, and i started clicking around to some of the yarn vendor websites. not that i need any yarn mind you. i've got enough in my stash to last for at least a year. boy howdy are there some beautiful yarns out there right now! one of the links led me to knitting arts in saratoga. i was amazed by the amount of classes that they offer every month! they are a bit far from my house, but i've decided to take one. it's called novelty purses! doesn't that … [Read more...]
miss manners takes on bloggers!
August 2, 2004 by
i was reading over at nongirlfriend about the fact that miss manners wrote a little somethin' somethin' about blogging. Friends are not the ideal receptacles for daily confidences that keep making these points, as it does not take long to discover. Their minds wander, causing them to misunderstand or forget what they were told. They are especially prone to forgetting they were told not to tell others. Their emotions don't always come out the way they were supposed to, and they make irritating … [Read more...]

what you talkin’ bout south africa?
August 2, 2004 by
i'm not religious, let me make that clear. but the thought that a country would cancel christmas is just wrong. i'm a HUGE fan of christmas, HUGE. i can't wait until christmas every year. i make a christmas cd, i buy way too many presents, i send christmas cards. i understand that for many, christmas is very religious. but for me, it's not. it's all about santa claus, snow and children. someone aught to take those politicians and smack them. what are they thinking? … [Read more...]
what a hellish week
July 30, 2004 by
i'm so glad that my week is finally over. i'm glad my dad is better, or on his way to better... it makes things easier. now i have to go to the therapist and answer to all the stupid things i did. all the things that are counter productive to my emotional well being. the rocker thing, the dad thing... i may not be happy with what happened at the hospital. but i'm not upset with calling the rocker. i like having things hit me upside the head. i like reminders that i made the right … [Read more...]
