SHE TRIED TO STEAL MY BOOK! er...kind of

I'm not lying, I swear it's true. And anyone who knows me knows that is the worst offense, EVER!
I was at the gym and I had a book to read while I was doing cardio. When I was done I was in t he locker room getting all my stuff together, and this woman comes up to me. She was in a wheel chair, I think she comes for physical therapy, she's there alot. Well anyway she rolls up and says:

Her "What book is that?"
Me "A Sandra Brown book."
Her "What one?"
Me "Seduction by Design."
Her "Do you read them more than once?"
Me "All my books or this one?"
Her "Well that one I guess."
Me "Ummm, yeah I read all my books over and over."
Her "Oh"
Me "Well it was nice, bye."

She was trying to get me to give her my book wasn't she! Crazy woman. lol. Oh wait, or is it me that's crazy? ha ah.

Gym Update ~ Week 1

Monday~ 20 min. on elliptical, and leg workout with a little back stuff too. I was dying! Need to find a way to make cardio fun! Didn't really feel like I accomplished much with the leg stuff, I need to get a set of things I do all the time. You know? Anyway I was there for about an hour or so.

Tuesday~ I FOUND IT! I bought a magazine, PEOPLE, and read it while on the elliptical. 30 min flew by like nothing! And I burnt more calories than I did the last time I did 30 min. (Thursday last week). The last time it was only 250 calories, this time it was 275. Cool! I'm all proud. Then I did arms. I tried to focus on the backs of my arms but it's hard sometimes, thinking one machine does it then your arms sore in all the wrong places. lol. I'll get it sooner or later. ha ha.

Wednesday~ Yoga, 45 min. then 15 min. on the elliptical. Okay so this was the first time I ever tried yoga. It was pretty cool. I like all the stretching and relaxing, made me feel good. But didn't really make me feel like I had done a big workout. So I went to do the elliptical, but my motivation was gone and I ended up with only the 15 min. But better than nothing right?

Thursday~ Kickboxing class, 45 min. Loved it! I've definitely taken harder kickboxing classes than this, but at 8:30 in the morning this was perfect. I sweated my ass off!

Friday~ So today I missed. Uggg. But I have that party tonight and needed to do major cleaning and get food. Soooo, I'll go one day this weekend to make up for it.

How am I doing???

Sorry I've been MIA...

So not much going on here. On Saturday I went to a book convention/fair with my girl Rene (yes that's Rene Lyons. lol) but you can go to SF and read about that. You all know I don't like to blog on books here since I have an entire blog just for that.

The gym thing is going good. But like I said you'll have a weekly update on that. So hang tight, I think I'll post it every.....Friday. Sound good? Good.

I had two freak outs since yesterday! NO I'm not joking, just listen...

First I got a call from Jordon's teacher yesterday. She wants a conference! OMG I start to panic, she says it's not his behavior (he's a great boy (to quote her)) but it's about his progress. Now we already have Parent Teacher Conferences in November. But she wants to do this now. Like this can be good! I think NOT! Now I know Holly's already told me to calm down and go with an open mind, that I don't KNOW what she wants to say. But I already have all these ideas in my head. Like it's got to be about his reading/writing, and if it is I'm gonna flip shit on her. Let me fill you in. My son didn't go to pre-school or anything till now, Kindergarten. And as his mother I taught him to write his name, how to count, the alphabet, colors all that stuff. But to read? I don't have the first clue how to teach someone to read. Did I go to school for that? Ummmm NO, that's what teachers are for. I live in a rich area. Am I? No a far cry from it. We rent a condo over here since it's close to Josh's job. But most people have money. There are either two working parents, or moms that stay home just to have their own time and still put their kids in pre-school. Well guess what? Pre-school isn't free, so Jordon didn't go. I couldn't afford it! So while a lot, if not most, of the kids in his class have been in a school environment for 1-2 years already learning things (reading/writing) Jordon hasn't. And for his teacher to hold him to the standards of these other kids is going to send me into a rage. Kindergarten is the first REAL year of school, this is the year his TEACHER should be teaching him these things. I'm the mom, I encourage his learning, help with the homework, but I shouldn't be the one teaching him these things. I'm not qualified for that. Ugggg. Okay Holly! I'm done!

Weew.

Second freak out. Today before I went to the gym I stopped to pick up some water and a magazine to read. I got People, and there was a big article about the school shooting in the Amish community near by. So while doing my cardio I read the article, almost had me crying in the gym, now it's all fresh in my mind. Everyday I go to Jordon's bus stop at 11:45 am and his bus arrives withing 7 minutes of my arrival. Well today I'm waiting ..... and waiting.... and freaking out! Where the hell is the bus? It is now 15 min. since I've been waiting....I walk to the corner, don't see the bus. I'm on the phone with my best friend and am freaking to her. Josh comes home for lunch and asks why I'm out there since Jordon is usually home and in the house already. So yeah, I'M FREAKING! Well about 5 minutes later a bus rolls in. Freaking going like 1 mph! Not his normal bus. This freaking moron drove so slow no wonder she was so late! OMG talk about giving a parent a heart attack. I'm thinking the freaking bus is being held ransom or something somewhere. SHUT UP! I'm a mom, I'm allowed to be dramatic! When it stopped I gave her a nasty look, kissed my baby and walked away. They better not use her again!

So another think I'm kinda annoyed about.....I'm having one of those party/demonstration things. It's a really cool concept and I like there stuff. Now I don't do these things normally but I want something and figured why not have a party and earn it for free if not at least discounted. Well it's a create your own jewelry thing, all Sterling Silver, 14Kt gold, Swarovski Chrystal, and blown glass. Very nice stuff. They have necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and anklets. Oh even watches! So I send invitations to everyone! I mean EVERYONE!!! What happens? Almost everyone on Josh's side has "something" to do already, my side? No one even freaking RSVP's! Which is no surprise, they never do. So as of now I have my best friend and her mom (who are driving from Delaware! Talk about a great friend!) and she might be bringing another friend, my sister and her friends, maybe my other sister and mom, and two girlfriends from work! I swear I invited about 30 people or so. A lot of my friends from when I lived in PA had some type of excuse too. Now I know it's about a 40 min. drive, but when they have things I go, and I made it on a Friday night so more people would come! Ugg whatever!

So anyway, I am having this party and if anyone is interested to look at the stuff here is the link. If you like something you can email me at jazzy_pez@yahoo.com or Lori Cole (who is the representative) at lorycole@aol.com, and order, it will get shipped right to you. I asked her about all that since I have some friends far away, and she said it isn't a hassle at all since everyone that orders gets their stuff sent right to them. So check it out.

Well I think I'm done. I complained enough for the day. Maybe I'll be back tomorrow with some good stuff to talk about. Maybe....

Day 1, I did it!!!

Okay okay I know I NEVER blog this much. My normal commenter's (is that a word? lol)aren't even caught up...La Chou...Drake....where are you???? Anyhoo. I just had to give you all an update cause I'm oh so proud of myself!

I went to the gym this morning. Go me!! I did 30 min on the elliptical machine, which was such an accomplishment! I find cardio machines sooo boring. I wanted to get off after the first 10 minutes, scratch that after the first 7 minutes. But I held on strong and did it. It was 2.77 miles and 250 calories burned. I don't know if that is good or not. But I felt good afterwards.

Then I did about 3 or 4 arm machines. I hate doing my arms cause the places I want to feel it I never do. It is sooo annoying. But that's all I had time for, I had to get home to get Jordon at the Bus Stop. But not before I laid in the sauna for 7 minutes. hee hee.

OH oh, and guess what??? I weigh less then I though I do!!! I though I weighted 1something1 but I actually weigh 1something6 (that's going down not up)!!! What? You actually thought I'd tell you how much I weigh? I think NOT!!! lol. So that was soooo exciting.

I try not to give myself an ideal weight cause that varies on how much muscle I get and all that but if I were to set a weight goal I am 31 pounds away from that goal. And it is a realistic goal.

I am all kinds of excited.

I'm going to post up daily drafts about my gym goings and then weekly I'll post them up. You all need to encourage me!!! I'm counting on you.

(yeah and oveously that skinny beep in the picture isn't me!)

I Made a Deal With the Devil....

Okay so I really really need motivation sometimes. As I'm sure you know, I've been trying to eat healthy to loose some weight. Yes cause in general I should. But mostly cause I'm going to Vegas in just over a month and don't want to be the fat girl.
Yeah yeah I know you all thought I was a skinny bitch. Well sup rise I'm not. Don't hate me. lol. I'm coming out though (again...hee hee) I'm a size.....OMG I don't know if I can say it......ttttwwwwww......don't laugh.......twelve! There, weew I said it! Now don't get me wrong I know I'm not FAT, but I sure ain't thin. And really it's just about being in shape and liking the way I look. And I don't.
I was never a skinny person. The smallest I ever was is a 6. And I'm not even trying for that again. I just want to be an 8 or a really toned hot 10. lol. Basically I want to feel sexy. You know I really think it affects a lot of aspects of my life. I don't like to have sex as much I'm sure cause I don't feel attractive. A post baby body isn't all that great, ya know....
Okay I'm off topic, stop the pity party. So my deal with the devil, and what it has to do with my computer?
Well eating good has lost me 6 pounds but that's about it. And it's been just about 3 weeks I think. So I need to get my ass to the gym. But I ALWAYS say I'm going to go and never do. So I told Josh that I need to make some sort of deal with him to make me go......hence the locked computer.
My computer is my life, well besides my kids, Josh and my books. But he can't take my kids away or my books (to many, where would he put them?) so he said he will lock the computer and will only give me the password after I've gone to the gym for the day. Now that will get my ass out the door! At first I was all HELL NO! But then I'm like, well if I really want to get my ass in gear I need to do something drastic like this. And losing my computer? DRASTIC!!! So he's going to change the password daily when he goes to work and tell it to me when I get home from the gym.
So who has faith in me??? Think I can do it?
I want to go to the gym tomorrow but it doesn't officially start till the 9th of this month. It will then be exactly one month from our trip.
So watch out Holly and Izzy, I'm not gonna be the fat bitch in Vegas. lol. Start eating to help me out. I'll lose and you skinny girls gain. ha ha. LOVE YOU!!!

Oh and side note.....I found a new shampoo and conditioner I LOVE!!! SunSilk Straight and Sleek. I've tried every straightening shampoo and conditioner, serum, cream, and balm. And let me tell you this stuff works! I mean my hair isn't perfect afterwards, but I don't have to twist it and hide it the first day I wash it because of the poof. Let me explain. I don't wash my hair everyday, first cause you shouldn't and second cause if I did it'd always be a big frizz ball. Normally the first day I wash my hair it needs to be in a pony tail or clip. But with this stuff? I can wash it and go to sleep and in the morning it's cool. Run a straightener through it and I'm good to go. I don't have to blow dry it, and I don't have to wait for the second day for it to tame down enough to get a straightener through it. Yeay!!! So there's my pimp. Go get it!!!
