First off... I get to Brooklyn and my mother informs me that I am there in time to partake in tax-free week in New York. Can you say, I had a budget? Can you say, BYE-BYE budget! So, stores... I have to mention all the cool stores I saw (and bought from): Infinity Shoes where I bought these cute little black mary-janes with pink trim... Oh do I love pink or what? Sissy Accessories had the cutest purses! I was dying here! I love a good purse, and the designs were so different! Yogini … [Read more...]

I got a postcard!
September 9, 2004 by
I am such a lucky girl! Susanna sent me a postcard from Budapest! I get tons of bills, but rarely do I get decent mail! I'm so excited to have it. I'm going to place it here in my cube so I can wish I were there. I liked going to NYC, but I'd much rather have gone to Europe! Thank you Susanna for my awesome postcard! … [Read more...]
A short vacation!
September 3, 2004 by
Tonight I'm going to Brooklyn! I'm really excited about it. I just wish I was going for longer. I'm going to be back on Tuesday night. I think my boss would rather that not go, because I'm going to miss a "Monday" so I won't be able to do enrollment reports on time. Today, I'm getting ready for spring scheduling... That is also supposed to go up on Tuesday. It's going up early, so the departments will have it on time. Daisy went to the groomers yesterday. She is ready for her little … [Read more...]
Yoga, i believe, is kicking my ass
September 1, 2004 by
Today, I am utterly exausted. I hurt in my shoulders, my thighs, my knees... On top of it all, I was so hungry when I got back from my lunch time walk, I scarfed my lunch. I was eating so fast I forgot to breathe. How fun is your pudding stick to eat when you shove it in your mouth so fast that you don't remember what it tasted like? I don't know, maybe I'm exercising too much. I'm only doing the 1/2 hour in the morning and yoga on Tuesday nights. That didn't seem like too much. But last … [Read more...]
Working at work
August 30, 2004 by
It's quite intersting lately. When I'm at work, I really want to work. Sounds strange, doesn't it? I know it sounds strange to me. Normally, I've got an hour or two of figeting time. Then I have to watch the BB5 talk show with Marcellas... By the time I get my act together, it's almost 11. This week, and the end of last week, I've felt like I can concentrate. Isn't that funny? Believe me, after a pretty dry summer, it's nice to want to work. Now, I've got a couple of things on my plate, … [Read more...]
I’m STILL not comfortable with that
August 29, 2004 by
People really don't like hearing "I'm not comfortable with that" from me. Tonight my weirdo neighbour wanted me to watch his 120lb golden for him over the holiday week. I don't even like this neighbour. He always calls my house and asks for "Brenda", like my name is "Brenda". I had already told him that I was going to be on vacation for part of that time. Then he said, well maybe you could play with him in the evenings. Yeah, right. Like after I get home after being gone for 12 hours, I … [Read more...]

a sense of relief
August 28, 2004 by
it's really strange. i've been cranky for 2 or 3 weeks. actually, i think ever since my dad's heart attack. i've not really wanted to be around people, but yet, i've been hating not having things to keep me busy. this week, i was so angry. i haven't been this angry since may. i ranted around, trying to blow off steam. on thursday, i worked out so hard that i thought the machine was going to kick me off when my heart rate reached 166. i ate things i shouldn't have eaten. but, i never … [Read more...]
bahama mama update
August 27, 2004 by
so, it's been 3 full weeks since i started my workout routine. this morning i went 2.3 miles on the lifestyle elliptical trainer. i burned 320 caleries, and kept my heart rate about 152 or so. as of tuesday, i'm down 9 pounds. i'm wishing i had done measuring, because i know my clothes are all fitting differently. some (including the infamous pair of jeans) are entirely too loose. i know i've not been good about writing my food down here, but i have almost 5 weeks of food journaling in my … [Read more...]
crankyness continued…
August 26, 2004 by
so i've really been too cranky and feeling too censored to write as of late. so, i've been doing a bit of guest posting. i talked about the california garage sale over at ihaveacrazywife. and then i talked about the hippie dictionary over at bitchalicious. it's not helping the crankyness... but my lunch with miss anne-a-belle did. yummy pizza chicago bbq chicken pizza with a salad. boy, _real_ friends make everything that much better. don't you think? … [Read more...]
