Monday again.

Finally it's time to go back to work.

I just don't know what to do with my self on long weekends... It always leads to no good.

Last night after I got done at Crawl Space (video to come later) I walked down to Fred Meyer because I needed to get in more steps (I only had 7500 steps at the time)...

This week I have a bunch to do... I'm teaching on Tuesday, subbing on Wednesday, haircut on Saturday and Crawl Space clean out on Sunday. My clothing order should be arriving on Wednesday too!

My back is a little sore today... and I have a bit of a headache... I guess it's a post four day weekend body stress-fest.

Zoe started whining at 4:30 so I've been up since then. If I was more dedicated I would go to the gym and work out - but I'm not that dedicated.

It is cyber Monday - Maybe I'll peruse the various websites I like to frequent...

Have a good day everyone...

The last stand....

here I sit in Crawl Space... I'm going to miss it...

I must say I'm a bit bummed that it's going away but I'm sure something good will come of all of this.

Why does the Seattle Art scene seem so icky to me right now??? good question... what am I going to do about it??? I'm not exactly sure - but I'll do something...

Currently I am catching up on all my television shows on Hulu. Some people just came in so I can't do anything right now... I started going through my Survivor footage so I can get a new dvd made... That should be top on my priority list... applications are due on the 6th of January.

Just think.... my leg waxing started all the way back in February... I haven't shaved since then... oh how times have changed....

What else.... I saw Mr. Arms this morning... the bruises on my back are going away... I think I called it candling this morning... I meant to call it cupping...

Here's what it looks like...



It's a little darker in real life than it looks here because mom used the flash when she was taking the picture... Not too much back fat - that's cool. You can also see that I'm not as pasty as I usually am (thanks to free tanning at the gym!)... I'm pasty no more!

Okay, back to the last stand of Crawl Space... I think I'm going to do a closing video... of the last time I lock up and close the doors.... I'll post it here if I do it...

Okay, I better go now... I think the people may be leaving soon... one hour and 40 minutes left...

It's been swell...

One more day to go...

It's finally Sunday... I was exhausted yesterday after my massage I ended up taking a nap and then later on I went to bed at 7:30... I didn't go to sleep until after 8:00 though.

I have a few nice bruises on my back from the cupping... it felt pretty good though... I'm going to do it again!

This morning I feel a bit icky... sore from sleeping too much and crampy from the joys of being a woman. Maybe it's gas....

I am sitting at the gallery today... I have to figure out what I'm going to do while I'm there... watch movies? Work on applications? shop on the internet? Maybe I'll peruse job postings on the CAA web site.

I finally have my video camera back... maybe I'll take it and do some last minute film homage to Crawl Space....

sad day...

Happy day after black Friday.

I survived the parade, a post parade workout and hanging with the puppies.

I'll talk a little more about the parade later. The little dog woke me up at 4:45 this morning and I'm still trying to recover.

Today I have my massage/candling appointment - I am looking forward to it because my lower back is killing me... it's so stinking tight.

After my appointment I think I may go to the studio... it's been a long time since I've been and I can't pussyfoot around anymore... I need to at least go every once in a while. Tomorrow I sit at Crawl Space for the last day of the show... it's the last day of Crawl Space ever... I am not really sure how I feel about it...

Last night I tried to make easy candied nuts from a recipe I got in RealSimple magazine... it's wasn't real simple... my sugar crystallized... the nuts taste alright but it's not like the picture..

The joys of holiday baking....

I'm awake so now what?

I woke up a little after 4:00 this morning. Too bad I'm not a Black Friday shopper... I'm going to be a Marshal in the parade this morning. Luckily it's not raining... however, it is a bit cold. I'm trying to decide if I should wear my big puffy coat... I just might.

Yesterday turned out pretty well... I went to breakfast at Hilary and Grant's, then I went to the gym for a pre-turkey workout... then I went home and roasted up some veggies... (a rare showing of my domestic prowess)... then it was off to Dad's for my first dinner. It was pretty good. I had ham... from there I went to my second dinner at H & G's. I probably could have done without the second dinner - but I'm glad I went....

Overall a pretty good day. Other things went well, but I can't go into them here...

Zoe is racing around getting ready for the day. I am just starting my first cup of real coffee... I tried drinking some leftover from yesterday - that wasn't working...

After the parade this morning I may do some shopping (I don't know)... I am planning on hitting the gym at some point... maybe I'll do some holiday baking...

I can be domestic.

Turkey for me, turkey for you!

It is thanksgiving... what am I thankful for? I'm thankful for finally getting my life in the right direction... I'm thankful for clothes, and friends and cured meats.

This morning my momma is headed to Corvalis. As we took stuff out to her car she realized that someone had been rummaging through it. I guess she had a new drill in the back seat which is gone... that really sucks... at least they didn't steal the whole car right?

This morning I am doing laundry and then I may go over to my sister's house for breakfast. Our friend Ken is making breakfast for them... I could do that, then go to the gym and then to my Dad's for dinner at 1:15.

Last night I subbed the cycle class and Arms was in it... he said "Jennifer, good job" I said "thanks, I've been practicing every Tuesday and Sunday for four months". Oh, the witty conversation!

So, I just took Zoe out to go potty and ended up tracking dog poop into the house... oh joy!

I'll post more later. I need to have the wii fit tell me I'm overweight.

Two years ago today

Two years ago today was my last day of "Stalking" Ann Curry. I must admit that was a really interesting time of my life... it was fun but arduous.

I really found a family in the crowd there at the show.

And then it was two years ago tomorrow that I trudged out and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade live from New York... that was fun too!

Here's link to the Hello Kitty Balloon!

I have a bit of a headache this morning... I just took some drugs so I should be good soon...

I woke up a bit early because I had to change the sheets and clean up my things.... It only cut in a little bit into my posting time.

Today I am leaving at 4:00 so I can sub a cycle class (with Mr. Arms) at 5:00. I have to choose my music wisely... don't want people to think I'm a dud.

I think maybe I'll see what I can come up with on itunes...

Have a great day everyone!

okay, I've started doubling up.

I had a pretty good day... not too busy at work and tomorrow is Friday! Well, actually it's Wednesday but you know what I mean.

Cycle went pretty well tonight... at least the microphone was working...

I don't have much more to type. I have to get up early in the morning so I can clear out of the house...

Until then!

only 60 posts to go...

Only 60 to go until I hit 2,000.... maybe if I double duty it I can get it done by the year end.

I am up a little early today because my hip is bugging me a bit.. and sometimes it just hurts to be horizontal. I'm looking forward to my massage and candling appointment on Saturday - maybe I can get rid of some of this tightness in my lower back.

Yesterday was a full day. It was busy at work and then at the gym I ended up subbing cycle at the last minute. That's alright... it's a good thing I keep my playlists and routines with me when I'm there... three days in a row cycling... that's almost enough money to pay for my appointment.

I am still thinking about all those cute things I'm going to be able to wear once I get my (this sentence removed by the clothing party police)

Oh yes, the cycle class I'm subbing on Wednesday contains Mr. Arms. Maybe I'll talk to him.



I am finally going to get my camera back from Matt. He's had it almost two months... I've been thinking about filming things but I haven't been able to... Maybe I'll break it out this weekend. What am I going to do with four days off???

Well, I do know I'm going to be watching dogs, getting a massage, sitting at Crawl Space for one last time, and teaching... maybe I'll throw in a bit of shopping - even though I don't have any money right now...

I'll figure something else to do...

I guess I should go. I've got some laundry going and I've got more coffee to drink.

I am in love with a tube.

I didn't have a big turnout to my party yesterday (that doesn't surprise me though... some of my friends are duds)... But three people plus my momma showed up.

I am sold on the line of clothing... there are just so many options and everything is so cute. I have ordered a sweater tube (think tube top but sweater material)... it is versatile.... can be worn as a top or a skirt... I also ordered a stinking cute sleeveless top with tie..it's got a really cute black and white print... what else - a big-ass belt, knit bolero top and black skirt... Oh, I also put dibs on this really cute vest.. it will be mine at a sample sale in December... it's half price!

Here's the sleeveless top (mine is black and white...)



I am going to be sooo stinking cute! My mom ended up buying a few things as well...

Shirley - here's a personal note for you... you need to come the next time I have a party... it's right up your alley.

Today I am driving into work because I bought a new microwave for the office... it's a cuisinart... it's spiffy.

This week is a short one! yehaw... I also move back home on Wednesday to take care of my puppies while my momma goes to Portland for Thanksgiving.

The only thing that would make my life better would be to win the lottery so I could pay off my student loans and buy more clothes.

What else??? teaching cycle on Tuesday and Wednesday... pre-Thanksgiving workout - on Thursday... I think that's it... but I think that's more than enough today...

aye aye aye...

I am sore this morning... but I think it's because I slept too much.

I fell asleep on the sofa last night around 8:30... went to bed soon thereafter...

Today is my party. I don't think there are going to be a ton of people there... oh well... that's the way it usually goes for me.

Yesterday my momma got a case of the sweats... then she was achy... it looks to me like the flu. I told her to call the doctor but does she??? no... she is very stubborn when it comes to those sorts of things... I told her if she died because of it I wasn't going to come to her funeral.

I'm being severely sidetracked today... I am trying to whip out another playlist for today's class.... I like to be a bit current... I will post more later (hopefully)...

nine plus hours of sleep...

I'm feeling as fresh as a baby's bottom! Okay, maybe that's not a good analogy...

I was going to eat too much last night so I went to bed before it got ugly...

I have found hulu so I can watch television shows on my laptop in bed... it's kind of terrific I think. Last night I tried to watch Community and Parks and Recreation... I fell asleep during both.

Today I have the usual... ww, gym... then I get to go shopping for food for my party tomorrow and then I have a leg waxing appointment. You might be thinking that I got things waxed last week which is true... But I didn't have time to get my legs done. I get to clean up my house too... don't want people to think I'm a slob. (anymore than they already do...)...

Yesterday I got my car fixed... the good news is that I only needed my front brakes replaced - not both... it cost half of what I thought it would. How exciting is that??? I'm have to take her for a spin today... check them out... there's no more scraping sound when I back up.

Okay - it's time to get moving...

The blog post which recounts my boss almost burning down the office...

The names have been changed to protect the innocent...

Yesterday one of my bosses was trying to reheat his oatmeal - he hit 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds...

There is no need for words...








the cup is stuck to the plate...



Anybody want a microwave??? It smells pretty bad but I think it might be able to be cleaned up...

We had to call the building and they in turn turned on the bypass for the fire alarm on our floor... I'm surprised it didn't go off... I bet you it will still smell today - it was soooo stinky.

I can't stick around here much longer because I am taking the car in...

It's Friday - I'm feeling alright... a little ambivalent... A friend of mine sent me an email last night... it's got me thinking - I hate when there is miscommunication... I'm sure things will be alright. Poo.

I missed Shirley's Birthday...

Okay, I didn't miss it exactly... I am just a bad friend because I didn't send her a card.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!

I hope she had a great day. She's one of my favorite people ever!

Today is my best friend Malyn's birthday... if it weren't for Facebook I wouldn't remember anything.

Yesterday I finally got my sweater that I ordered... I'm wearing it today... It would look really cute with a pair of boots - that is if I could wear boots with my abnormally big calves...

It's still raining outside... It feels like it's been raining forever! I might shrivel up...

What else do I know??? I am getting my brakes fixed on my car tomorrow... I'm going to be a marshal in the Thanksgiving parade again this year... I'm with the Jack in the Box Float... it comes near the end of the parade... (it's after the frango float... you know what that means.... spare frangos to pick up off the ground if they fall....).

I feel better than I didn't yesterday morning... no headache today...

blah blah blah....

Maybe I should drink more coffee...

Somebody shoot me now.

I woke up with a headache. It's not the most horrible thing ever but it's definitely not fun.

I started feeling it last night right before cycle class... I have taken some advil so I'm waiting for that to kick in so I can carry on as my usual jovial self.

Last weekend I was at Target and some guy kept staring at me... it turns out that it was a guy I went to the UW with. The wonders of Facebook... I looked him up and sent him a message and there he was... Facebook has definitely upgraded the level of my stalking capabilities... not that I was stalking him... I can just find out information sometimes if I need it...

Yesterday I contacted the auto shop that I used to go to and I'm going to get my brakes fixed on Friday... I guess I'll just have to suck it up....

I was talking to my dad the other day and he said he had a plan for me... I don't know exactly what that means.... He had wanted to know all I owed on everything... so I sent it to him. I don't think he had any idea of what I exactly owed when it came to my student loans. It's quite a bit.. but worth every penny. Who knows maybe I'm in store for an early inheritance.. I'm not going to hold my breath though...

What else.... I have got in all my paperwork in order to start participating in my company's 401k plan... that's cool... I like saving money...

I think maybe my headache is going away... that's a good thing...

I love you all!

I'ze got me some new shoes....

Yesterday when I went to lunch I happened to stumble upon these shoes... they just called out to me... I had to have them...

Now I just have to build an outfit around them...

I am happy to report that the cats did not wake me up at some crazy hour. I still feel a bit tired though...

As predicted yesterday was a bit slow at work... I'm guessing today won't be any better.

I noticed something yesterday... ever since I got my massage on Saturday my elbow that had the tendonitis in it feels a heck of a lot better. It wasn't really sore - but I could definitely tell that it was tender in spots. That's all gone now. How exciting!

hmmmm..... it's taking me a few minutes here to wake up... I don't know why, it's not like I didn't get a lot of sleep last night...

I guess I should go...

Freaking Stinking Cats.

The cats decided it was a good idea to start racing around the house at 4:11 this morning... I've been awake ever since. I did get to watch an episode of Brothers and Sisters while I was waiting for a reasonable time to get up.

It's Monday... I'm trying to think of what's coming up this week... I have my clothing party on Sunday. I wore my top on Friday and again on Saturday... it's freaking stinking cute. I am freaking stinking cute!

Did I happen to tell you about my massage on Saturday? I only was scheduled for an hour... it wasn't enough time. I am going back the weekend after next and I'm going to have cupping done. (yeah, I know - Gwenyth Paltrow gets it done....) it's where they take heated glass cups and put them on the skin to help release the muscles and bring everything to the surface. I'm looking forward to it.

I've been thinking about my single-ness. What is wrong with me??? besides being a chicken. NOTHING... what is my problem then??? I guess it's just a lack of self confidence.

I need to get over it.

It will most likely be slow today and tomorrow at work... a few people are out.... I guess that will give me more time to work on my guest list for Sundays party.

Carry on everyone... I have a pot of french press black cat blend to drink.

Have I told you lately that I love you???

this puppy loves you!

It needs a home... she was at the salon yesterday... she is a pitt bull... pretty cute for a dog that will chew your face off at the drop of a hat...

I have survived the day. I am thinking I will change into my jammies soon and maybe even go to bed my 9 again.

This morning my cycle class was full (plus I had a waiting list...). It's nice to be popular and wanted.

I didn't do too much after class... I should have gone to the studio... but I didn't. I should have cleaned out my car... but I didn't.

Oh well... I guess that's it for today.

Hello and good morning.

I will only do a short post here because I have been working on my 80's flashback cycle playlist.

Yesterday was long but good. I went to bed at 9:30 - that's more like it....

Massage good... SAIC day good. Armpit Waxing.... good.

I was down .6 pounds. Considering I ate all those bacon and mayo sandwiches I feel lucky.

I have to go teach...

I will post more later... I have photos of puppies for sale I have to post.
xoxo

Not much time.

I haven't much time to post this morning. I have to take a shower before I go to ww and then it's off to my MASSAGE (yeah) and WAXING (and almost bigger yeah)....

Happy hour was fun... not too exciting... I ended up going to bed at 9pm because I was going to start scavenging for food.

After my massage and waxing appointment it's off to SAIC info day. That should be fun.

Yesterday I bought the book Why Men Date Bitches... Shelby my waxer keeps telling me I should read it... I bought it for 1.22 (with the left overs of a gift card I won)....

Maybe being a bitch will help me...
I might be beyond help though...

Okay, look what I did!

Hello Friday!

Well - we've made it to the end of the week... I'm thinking I'm ready for it but I'm not sure.

It's raining like crazy outside... I'm not pretty sure I don't want to go out into it. But I have to...

Last night I did laundry and watched Survivor... it was pretty good... it would be better if I were on it though.

Is my blog becoming lame? I think it might be.... I think it used to be more interesting... or maybe I was just more interesting...

I was lamenting over the fact that I'm single yesterday.... I guess I shouldn't complain because I don't really do anything about it... I am lame.

Tonight after work I am meeting my lovely assistant Kristen for Happy Hour. She was sick last week so we have rescheduled for tonight. I'll make sure I dress respectably - you never know...

I picked up my new shirt from (this word removed by the clothing party police) yesterday... it's really cute - and it's silk... It was going to be my holiday shirt but I think I might wear it today as well... it will be cute with jeans or a nice skirt. Oh to be a fashion plate...

Hmmmm.... I guess that's it. I have to do something to spice things up.

I think I might be ready for the weekend.

This is what my desktop looks like this morning... I've downloaded this thing called Jing which lets you take screen captures and post them to your blogs and insert them into emails etc... it looks pretty good. I might even break out those pictures from my mammogram and show you my boobies!

Today I am going to lunch with my friends Matt, Mark and Robin... should be fun. I haven't seen them for a while... well, I've seen Matt - but he doesn't count.

Yesterday at work I took on the task of reorganizing the tabs.... not an easy task, but monotonous and right up my alley.

Okay, here's a rant. I am tired of looking at my matches on match.com and seeing guys holding up fish or cans of beer... I like to eat fish, but I'm not impressed with that sort of thing...

argh.

I need a date. Any takers out there?

She Scores!

Yesterday I trekked down to REI during lunch to look at heart rate monitors. I wasn't planning on buying anything - but my chiropractor had told me about the items in their bargain basement... and there is was. A Polar f7... normally 125.00 marked down to 46.00. I decided it was worth it... it had a broken snap on the chest strap, but I registered it online and sent it in to be repaired. I'm hoping that they fix it under the warranty (they may not because I didn't buy it new...). I figure that If I have to pay 25 dollars or so I'm still saving a bunch of money over a new one.

The reason I bought it was to make sure I am training effectively when I cycle.

Yesterday was pretty slow at work. Not that I really mind.. it gave me some time to figure out all the heart rate monitor stuff. My head is a little achy... I think it's the cats... they are making me sneeze and there is also something else that is biting me while I sleep. A bug of some sort... I found a few bites on my torso the other day and now I have a few on my shoulder.

I will survive though...

This weekend I think I mentioned that I am working at an information day for SAIC. On of my professors from school will be there. It will be nice to see her - she liked my idea of showing art in grocery stores and shopping malls.... she's sort of a big wig in curating circles. I took a seminar class from her my last semester... I sort of wish I had taken it earlier on... I might have appreciated it more. I think by the time I got to her I was so done with school I wasn't all the way in there. I have invited those who are participating to come to Crawl Space and see the show.

I don't think I'm quite ready to get moving this morning... hmmmm... maybe I'll take a vacation day sometime this month... It was mentioned that I wasn't taking any vacation this year... do I need to? Maybe I do. I'll have to take it under consideration. I don't need any time around the holidays... hmmmm... I think I shall ponder that while I take a shower....

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

I slept pretty well last night and I feel pretty good.

I got a clean bill of health from my dentist. The hygienist said it looked like I was doing a better job which I am happy about...

I've been sneezing quite a bit here the past few days. I think it's the cats that I'm looking after.... those stinking furry things...

This Saturday I am going to be helping out with SAIC days at the Seattle Art Museum. $200.00 to talk about school.... you can't beat that can you?

Let me think... what else is going on? Not too much... reservations have been made for Chicago. I have good dental health. I have two jobs I really like. I have cute underwear. (oops did I say that out loud?)...

I think I can go now.

Too many things to do.

I got an email this morning regarding a CPR class I want to take... the only problem is that is interferes with the Crawl Space Clean up and another party I've been invited to...

There's are just too many things that I want to do and not enough time to do them.

This morning I volunteered to teach cycle on Thanksgiving and made my reservations to go to Chicago in February....

This afternoon I have to go to the Dentist but I'm not sure what I'm going to do bus wise... I may just drive to the bus stop and then take my normal bus....

Is it really Monday again?

I slept pretty well last night... I may have to get some earplugs to keep out the cat noises though.

I ended up eating all the bacon I cooked last night... today I get back on track... I sure do love bacon and chocolate milk though... it was just what I needed.



this is another photo of the work at the opening...

I think I should start thinking about moving my body and getting ready....

oh, I realized last night that I screwed up making waxing appointments... I usually make them every 4 weeks but I made this next one for five weeks. I don't think my armpits can take it... I have made a phone call to the salon and am trying to sneak on in after my massage on Saturday!

okay, now that's it!

Blah.

Is it too early to go to bed? I made it through the day... now I'm ready to be done with it.

I think the thing that hurt me most was that I didn't get a restful sleep last night. I don't think it will be a problem tonight.

I managed to get through cycling... went to brunch with dad and then did a little bit of shopping at Northgate. I went to Target and bought some groceries.... for dinner I ate two bacon and mayonnaise sandwiches with some chocolate milk.. I feel better now.

Tomorrow I have a date with the dentist. I get my teeth cleaned again.... new insurance - more teeth cleaning.

I'm feeling a bit out of sorts... I'll be back to normal tomorrow I think.

We came, we saw, we conquered.

I have more photos but I don't have the time or patience to add them this morning. I have a bit of a headache this morning - but it was worth it. I'm not feeling too bad.

I think I'm supposed to go to brunch with my father but I haven't heard back from him yet.

I am cat sitting again... you know the cats - Sammy and Emma.. Sammy the one who spent the night in the tree...

I must say the food turned out really well last night... I took a few pictures with my phone and am trying to get them transferred to Crusty II...

here we go...



Doesn't it look yummy? The stuff in the front is garlicky bean spread - it was good. I think I'm going to make it again.

Okay, I think this is all I can manage this morning... headache go away please...

I'm all over it like a bad rash.

I got home last night and started whipping up my food for tonight's opening.

I had a good time last night a happy hour. My lovely assistant Kristen was sick, but I met up with my other lovely friend Karen. We went to Palomino and it was busy...

Overall the week went pretty well (with the exception of the weather). Next week should be good too! I have two paydays!

I need to get moving... After ww I need to go to Target and get some other things for tonight and then onto the gym and then..... wait for it....
I have to buy a bunch of baguettes.

I should run. Talk to you all later.

What I've done so far this morning...

I woke up.
Trouble shot my cable box with comcast.
Drank coffee.
emailed people on Match.com so I can get my free six months (because I haven't found a match).

I have come to the realization that I don't want to date someone who posts photos of themselves holding fish or beer cans. I emailed the Oprah show last night telling them that I should be on the "still single show".... they are looking for people who are tired of being single and need help. That's me! Nate Berkus is going to help people find their dating groove. Who knows, maybe my plea will be compelling enough to get some help.

Tonight I am attending happy hour with my friends Kristen and Karen. I have to wear something attractive to lure all those single men to me.

I think that's all I have for you all this morning... I found some good recipes online yesterday for the opening tomorrow... it looks like tonight I'll be cooking up a storm.

Crusty II is back!

I am here with Crusty on my lap. She has a new keyboard, bottom case and superdrive.

She sure is beautiful.

I have a few things going on today...

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale.

Subbing Cycle.

Oh, and there's work.

I have found out that I am in charge of food for the last opening at Crawl Space. I volunteered so that's cool. I am going to head over to Trader Joe's tomorrow night to gather up some goodies for the festivities.

It's sad that the end is coming but it's good that we're closing on a good note. Sometimes I think the Seattle Art Scene really is fluffy. It seems like it want's to be hip but you have to be part of the "in crowd" to get your work shown. It's sad that Crawl Space is going away... I am too old to be a hipster.... it's aggravating. It's times like these I wish Seattle were more like Chicago... more apartment galleries, better opportunities to show your work... less snobbery.

I was rejected for a show I applied to... oh well, got to keep going. I need to get back in the studio and make more things... I've been asked to try and put visuals to some musical pieces my friend Brent gave to me. He's in the Orchestra Philharmonia and they have some videos on Youtube but they don't have any visuals. He asked me if I might like to try and add something. I think I'll get out my video camera (once I get it back from Matt - he borrowed it for the movie his son is making).

Here's a nice photo of the view from my desk at work...



actually it's a view from the conference room window which I sit just outside of.... but I do see this.



I think I'll get going... I should probably check out those art sites I haven't been looking at recently...

Oh, did I tell you that I tried to pay my visa bill by phone and they wanted to charge me 15 bucks to do so? That's just stupid... Bank of America - you should know better. You'd think you'd want to encourage people to go paperless.... right?

I need your attention.

I am trying to type but Stinky keeps putting her nose under my hand trying to get me to pet her.

Here is what I know. Yesterday they tried to deliver Crusty II to me be no one was home when Fedex tried to deliver. They are retrying today... Mom said she'd stay home until they arrived.

Last night I was really really really tired... I got horizontal on the sofa and promptly fell asleep.

I have to gear up for teaching cycle two days in a row... I get to sub tomorrow... it should be fun... my friend Holly is going to a conference... She didn't ask me to sub on Saturday (which surprises me a bit...) she was going to try and get a new instructor to do it... hopefully she won't be able to and she ask me to do it.... (more money!). Even if she doesn't that's alright... I'm sure she doesn't want it to look like she has favorites...

I slept a little late today so I should probably go... I'll be back tomorrow hopefully coming to you from the new and improved Crusty II.

Let's have a party!

Okay people... I went to this (this word removed by the clothing party police) party yesterday and I am very excited. It's like the best thing ever... you get to look at all these clothes and then you get to try them on.

I have decided to have a party on the 22nd. (Shirley - mark it on your calendar)... (this sentence removed by the clothing party police) I ordered the chantilly top (it's on page 8 of the catalog).. and a long black sweater. There's a really cute black skirt that I want to get..

Yesterday was fun. I need to get out a bit more often.... Mom and I went to Black Angus for dinner. We had prime rib... it was pretty good - the horseradish was excellent.

This week is pretty much more of the same, work - gym - television - ah... the routine I love... I get to sub Holly's cycle class on Wednesday. That's cool... more classes = bigger paycheck = more money to spend on cute clothes...

Oh yeah, Friday I am going to happy hour with my friends Kristen and Karen... You may recall that Kristen is my lovely assistant.... she hasn't had to assist me recently - but you never know the time may come again...

I think that's all I have for you this morning...

The day in review.

Here is how Halloween went down.

I went to WW where I was down 2.8 pounds. I went to coffee and then to Target.

After that I went to the gym. I wasn't able to take the cycle class because it was full. Arms was in it. He did comment on my wig (it was a blond pageboy style). I think he said I was looking swanky in it. I don't know if he actually used the word swanky - but is was something similar.

After the gym I went home and hung out with the dogs... at 3:30 I went to help my momma with a memorial service at church. I was there until 6:30 or 7:00 and then we came home... we were going to go to black angus but we were just too tired.... I think we're going to go tonight. We had a few trick-or-treaters and we turned out the lights at 9:00 and I went to bed.

Today I have to teach cycle and then I am going to a clothes party at my friend Nancy's house. It's sort of like a tupperware party but with clothes.

I think that's it for today. If anything exciting happens I will be back with an update.
