a sense of relief

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

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…

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...]

friday night

so, as you may or may not know, friday night is the absolute worst night of the week for me as a person. it is the one night i'm alone, when none of my friends want to do something... there is no big brother, no decent television, and who wants to go out on friday night alone. so, here is my plea... if you live ANYWHERE in the bay area and would like to do something this friday night, get in touch with me. i'm up for just about anything legal, and i promise, i'll leave the cranky gwen at … [Read more...]

bye-bye will, hello karma!

if i ever hated adria before, i really hate her now. i mean really... how could she do it? how could she take down will? nasty wench of a girl! but now, the "powers that be" have given the hoh to nik. thank god! we all know what she should do, put those nasty wonder-twins up. god, they are so evil. i think that the only way to ensure that one of them goes is to put both of them up! and for the record, will's comment upon leaving: "if karma is a boomerang, i'll be seeing you sooner than … [Read more...]

anti-social

i'm feeling utterly anti-social. i just want to stay home and watch bb5 feeds. hmm... could it be that i worked too hard today? i mean really, i worked out for 30 minutes this am, walked at lunch for 45 minutes, and had yoga class tonight. i think maybe i'm just exausted. … [Read more...]

what happened to my luck?

this weekend was interesting to say the least. it started off simply enough... i went and got my friday night movies, then sat down to another boring friday night. missey andrea called and asked if i could watch olive for her while they went to a wedding in napa. you know i said yes. olive is a nice dog, little italian greyhound. very cute. other than that friday was normal, and boring. saturday morning, i got up and went to the post office. i picked up my coffee pot that came from … [Read more...]
