feeling a bit barfy.

I'm sitting here in the studio trying to work on a grant application (actually it's a fellowship app.)... and it's not really going anywhere... I thinks it's because I ate a little too much today.  a big-ass biscuit and an ass-load of bridge mix.  I suppose I should just get back to work and get it over.  I have to hand deliver this application tomorrow....

As always, I wait until the last minute.  I think there are a lot of artists out there that do the same thing as me...  time to suck it up Jen.

Sleeping in!

I slept in again this morning... that's two days in a row of 9 hours.... I like it.

I was thinking about going running before I had brunch with my dad this morning but sleep won out.  I may try to go a bit later, my foot is a bit sore still (but not too bad)...

Yesterday I went to my studio to find out that my key card doesn't work and I can't get into the building.  I left a couple of messages for the building manager but I haven't heard back from her yet.  I managed to ask someone to let me in... it's annoying though.  The times I want to get in I can't.

So far the weekend has been pretty uneventful... dinner with the family was alright.  I missed most of the action - my niece Katie clocked herself on the open cutting board (smacked her face)... nothing was broken though.... it's times like these I'm glad I don't have children...

Today as I've already mentioned, I'm having brunch with dad, trying to get into the studio, and possibly running...  I think that is all I've got going on...

I need a date.

Back at the regular sofa...

This morning I woke up to a power outage at the house so I made my way home to hang out with the dogs and a nice hot cup of coffee...
I ended up going to bed at 9 and I'm not ashamed of it..  I've been needing to catch upon sleep  and I'm glad I did.

Today after teaching I'm planning on going to the studio... I didn't get there yesterday (I don't think I would have been much good anyway..)..

The nephews and niece are coming over this afternoon... Max broke his wrist yesterday - it's the same arm he broke last year. 

I'm also supposed to skype with Jen today - it's been a few weeks since we saw each other... 

I'm hoping to go running tomorrow morning before I go to brunch with Dad.... it should be fun...

as usual - this post is not going anywhere...

trying to stay awake...

I am desperately trying to stay awake until 9 so I don't seem like such a wimp when I turn in for the night... it's hard...

my massage was great - she (Candise) worked on my foot... did I mention it was killing me... and it is feeling a bit better now... I am sooo stinking tired... I think I need to start winding down. 

tomorrow I teach, then I'm going to the studio and then dinner with the family...

Fifteen minutes to save the world...

I'm going to make this short this morning.  I didn't set my alarm last night so I slept in an extra nine minutes!

I am afraid that I will not weigh in at goal this month.  It's not the end of the world, but I could have done better.  I should just move on... keep plugging along and eventually I will get back to where I need to be.

Last night the movie was a success.  It is much better on the big screen... according to my friend Matt, there were a few glitches - nothing that I thought was too obvious though.

After I teach today I have a waxing appointment and then a massage - I'm looking forward to that one... my legs are hurting...

Oh well, I guess I better face the music.

Can she do it?

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning.  Last night I ran around Greenlake three times without stopping - but my foot hurts now... I think it's plantar fasciitis... ouch.  I've iced it and taken ibuprofen... I think I just need to rest it...

Tonight I am going to the premier of Senior Prom.  It should be fun... I am not sure I'll be able to stay up that late but I'll try.  I was invited to an after party afterward - I don't know if that's going to be in the cards - but you never know...

It's icky and raining outside - I wish it would clear up so I could wear some of my cute summer clothes... I'm tired of wearing the same old pants...

well, I was able to upload this photo of the water feature in the backyard where I'm house-sitting but it won't let me upload any more....  Maybe I will try again later...

I suppose I should go... I have to put the house in order before the house cleaners come today...

Only two more days!

I am beginning to feel a bit worn down... I'm just tired.  I blame it all on Lost.  If I hadn't stayed up so late on Sunday I might not be so tired today...

Tonight my waxing appointment was canceled so I think I will go running instead.  If I can get to the lake early enough I will try to run around at least three times before it gets dark... I think I will try out the compression tights tonight and see how they work.  I have been noticing that I smell really bad when I'm done running...  I don't usually stink when I work out but it's a bit annoying.

Yesterday the Half Yearly sale started at Nordstrom... I succumbed to a new pair of shoes.  Bronze metallic ballet flats... cute cute.  I'd post a picture but I don't have one right now.

I need a date...

I need more of a social life...

I need more coffee.

I am in love.

I bought some compression shorts yesterday and wore them running last night - I love them.  They are supposed to suck in everything (muscles and such) to help support them and help aid in your recovery... I bought shorts and a longer pair of tights... I think I am in love...  I also got this thing called a SPIbelt which you can carry your personal items around your middle without it bouncing around... it's pretty cool too....

I hate to say it but I think I might actually enjoy running.

It's raining outside (as opposed to inside)... a bit dreary - it would be a nice day to just hang around and do nothing but I've got things to do (work and teach)...

I keep trying to upload photos but I am having issues... it's making me cranky.  It's not good to be cranky.

I have made arrangements with my father to have brunch with him on Monday - I think it is a bleated birthday brunch - although my birthday was over a month ago... that's alright... it will be nice to see him...

Have I told you all that I've been thinking about architecture???  as in thinking of getting a masters in it??  I'm not too serious - but I think it might be interesting and fun... but painful on the pocketbook...

it's something I can dream about.

Untitled this morning because I'm too tired to think of anything witty... I'm tired this morning... it's because I stayed up so long on Sunday night...

I've been feeling a bit weepy lately - not sure why - I haven't sobbed for a while lately - maybe my body just wants to do it... I'll be listening to segments on NPR and I find my eyes well up...

On Today's agenda I will be working, then going for a run and then watching the Biggest Loser finale.  I don't know if I'll be able to stay up that late...

I know, my life is exciting.  I can't help it...

hmmm....

I am still trying to figure out the series finale of Lost - I've been a pretty faithful fan - but I'm not so sure about the ending... They're all dead?  I suppose that's alright... but still... I'm not pissed off by the ending but I am not completely satisfied... 

Okay, what else.  I went to the studio yesterday (and watched the Hurt Locker while I was there)... I broke out my drafting materials and model making supplies...  I am also working on a drawing (sort of)... I'm going back to what I used to do in Grad School - mundane repetitive tasks until something floats to the surface...

I am running out of time - so I will leave you with some photos from the yard I'm house sitting at.
Okay, I take that back... my server won't let me upload any photos.. poop.

Good Morning - it's great to be here.

I was up 4.6 pounds yesterday (can you say sodium?)... it's alright... it's just the way things go sometimes. 

Other than that bad news yesterday was pretty  routine.  A guy I went to high school with was in town for the weekend and took my cycle class yesterday... he teaches classes in Richland Washington... After class I went to the studio for a while... I caught up with some of my neighbors there and I guess there was a pig living down the hall for a while... I guess the old manager there wasn't that efficient... they got a new one and she's kicking out all the riff raff.  that's good... I guess there were squatters in the building as well.

I should really go more often.

Today I am teaching and then I think I will go back to the studio... I like it there... I just don't know what I'd be doing.. I guess it doesn't really matter though...

Last night I started contemplating going back to school... sometimes I think it would be nice to go into architecture (or just model making...)... maybe that's what I'll work on.. making a model of my ideal studio...  I've got all the model making supplies... okay - I've got an idea... woot woot.

Stinky peeking out from under Zoe.

It's not going to be pretty.

I ate over half a bag of reduced fat potato chips for dinner last night.

I'm guessing I won't weigh in at goal... sabotage.  I know I'm doing it... I do it anyway.

The thought crossed my mind of getting up at the crack of dawn and running to try and lose a few pounds before I weigh in but that's not a healthy way to do anything... (bad thinking - a dieters mentality). 

I would go back to bed if I didn't have to teach this morning.  Last night was really rainy - it's sort of gloomy today.  I think I'll go to my studio this afternoon... or take a nap.  either one sounds good right now...

I can't fight this feeling anymore...

it's cramps... oh joy.  just one step closer to menopause...

Last night I went running again.  I made it around Greenlake twice before it started getting dark.  I am happy to report that my new shoes are perfect!

I am at the new house this morning... they remodeled the master suite and they have the most awesome bathroom - those of you who know me know I don't like to use the word awesome... it's bothersome.. but I'm using it here!  The only thing I would change about this bathroom is that I would put in a bathtub.  There is a big ass walk in shower with two -  count-em TWO shower heads.  I will post some photos later... there's nothing like a great bathroom...

Today - this is today... I have been having issues with eating this week so I think I won't be making my ww weigh in goal tomorrow... Oh I hate the issues...

Today is Bike to Work day... I teach cycle but I don't own a bike... funny... I actually do own a bike but it lives in a garage in Olympia... it's not really commute worthy...

Hey Megan - if you're reading this hi!  If in fact you are the Megan I think you are.... it's the bike I bought from Sears back in 1986 or something like that... you might not remember - I only rode it a few times...

Okay, I better suck up the rest of this coffee and think about hosing myself off.

I'm not ready.

Today seems like a good sit on the sofa in your robe day.

I have an itch... a travel itch... I also have an I want money itch...  not a lot of money... just 62,000 to pay off my student loans.  Then I would be debt free!

Okay, I also have an "I want to own property" itch as well....

And an "I want to experience domesticity" itch.....

maybe I should just get a tube of hydrocortisone and get rid of the itch...

Tonight I move over to the other house I'm housesitting at...  I'm a little bit excited because they just got their bathroom remodeled and it's going to be sweet.  I love bathrooms... I love taking baths and showers...

Okay

I have to admit that these posts are getting pretty lame... My life used to be more interesting when I was in grad school and uber-poor and in a different city... I have become dull... my life is stuck on repeat...  I need some excitement...  maybe I need to start drinking again...

Seattle Weekly Article

Senior Prom Article Seattle Weekly

I'm a little bit excited about this whole movie thing... If I ever manage to procreate I think this might be how I'd feel if one of my kids did something big.

Evening Magazine Spot

The Status Update.

Those of you who know me probably know that I am one of those Facebook people... I was on it long before it became the norm... well at least the norm for people my age... I like to update my status.. a lot. 

I was going to go on about this subject but I've lost the feeling... What is going on?  I walked to University Village last night... I played with the ipad... it's nice but it would never replace Crusty II.  I also managed to eat three mini sleeves of Ritz crackers on the way back to the house... oh well. 

Only six weeks or so and I get to go to camp.  That will be fun... I can always use a good dose of summer camp (can't we all?).  I'm contemplating using frequent flier miles to purchase a ticket to New York next February for the College Art Association  convention... I've got to start planning ahead!

Tomorrow I switch over the other house that I am watching cats at...  the cats I've been watching are pretty nice though.  Friendly and cute... not too obtrusive.

OH, before I forget... my friend Matt's son is going to be on Evening Magazine tonight talking about his movie that is going to be premiering at the SIFF.  I think he's also supposed to be on the cover of the Weekly today.. should be exciting.

Coffee calls...

Good Morning!

I am coming to you from a new sofa this morning... I am watching my friend's cats for a few days before I go over to my other kitty sitting gig.  These kitties are pretty nice... the house is nice.  It makes me wonder what it might be like to own property... hmmm...

Yesterday I had a little mishap with my toenails... when I ran last week I bruised two of my toenails on the right foot... I thought I was through all of this... but no.  I have to go through losing toenails again...  well, let me get back to the story - I was hanging out at my desk yesterday and I decided to take off my shoes,  I casually tried to push my desk drawer closed with my foot and somehow managed to catch my toenail in it... (It takes talent)...  last night I had to do some surgery on the two toenails to take some pressure off of them...

Okay, enough pretty stuff...

I am thinking that I should get my plane ticket now for the College Art Association Conference next year in New York.  I can use frequent flier miles to get there for free!  I think I should do it and figure out the details later.  I think I'm ready for another adventure...

Tonight I think I may try to go for a run again...  My legs are feeling pretty good... I have to keep working on longer distances...

I think it's time for some more coffee... later people...

Sloths!

A long list...

I am going to have a busy day... I start cat sitting today but I have to pack, work, teach, pack more and then move...  I should be done by 8:30 tonight (hopefully)...

Yesterday I went to the studio for the afternoon... I didn't really do anything, but it's nice just to go there and go through the motions sometimes... I need to start looking for opportunities to show my work...

ummm.... I'm not feeling the blog post this morning... I'm not feeling much of anything...  it must be all that leftover cake I ate yesterday... 

One down one to go.

I hate it when the weekend is too short.... so far it seems to be just the right length.

This is what I had for dinner...

It was really yummy... actually that's not the steak I ate... that was part of the leftovers, but you get the idea...

I am thinking about what to do today... I have to teach (I'm thinking about getting doughnuts for class)...  I should go to the studio today.

Here is s rundown of yesterday... I was down at ww but not enough to not have to pay... I was .2 away from not having to pay.

When I was getting my hair done I was watching all the girls get ready for prom... it's not like the old days ... I had a mullet and crutches for my prom...    it was fun seeing everyone get ready.  It made me want to grow out my hair so I can have it done and get married...   I suppose I need to find someone to date me before I can get married...

The birthday barbecue was nice and low key.  I ate cake... and steak... yum yum yum.  That was about it... I tried to stay up and watch a movie when I got home but I was too hard to stay up (I think it's because I drank beer)...

This week I am starting my ultra long house-sitting gig... it will be a nice change of pace.. I like getting out of the house every once in a while... it makes me imagine what it would be like to be live on my own again...

Oh oh oh!!! I forgot!  I talked to the dean at the Community College that I applied for the teaching job at and she said that they really needed someone with jewelery experience but that one of their other faculty members was retiring in the next year or so and she really wanted to get me in there teaching.  This is really good news...  Maybe I should start coming up with a syllabus now!

Okay, I think that's it...  I should go now... drink more coffee and contemplate taking doughnuts to my cycle class...

What's the plan.

The plan today is simple.  WW, coffee, cycle, hair, studio(?), birthday barbecue, sleep.

Yesterday I got to leave work early - that plus a good pilates class made my evening (I also managed to sneak in a bath too!). 

It's supposed to be nice today.

I've been thinking about self-publishing a book of my Today show work... I think it would make a nice coffee table book...  I've got that in the hopper... what else?  I think I shall try to work on something else... I don't know what yet... maybe I'll start revisiting older ideas and seeing if they have any poop left in them... 

When I step on that scale this morning I think I'll be down but not enough to not have to pay (yet again)...  I still have two Saturdays after this one to get down 1.6 pounds... hmmm...

Woot woot... Friday

I think I am alright... the jury is still out though... I woke up at 2am and my legs hurt... I got up and took five advil and went back to sleep only to be awoken by the mother unit trying to get the rack out of the freezer at 5am... she threw her back out.  That's what you get for waking up your daughter...  I suppose I shouldn't complain... she does let me live here...

Today is payday - I don't think I have any major expenditures - with the exception of the tennis shoes I bought last night, rent, and my hair do tomorrow... the grey streak is starting to show up... time to go away...  Tomorrow night I am going to a barbecue for my sister's birthday.... I get to eat steak... hmmm yummy.  Hopefully when I go to weight watchers tomorrow and step on the scale things will be in line..

I've got my fingers crossed...

It's snuggle time with stinky... later.

half marathon? why not...

This afternoon I went to the dentist (I got a clean bill of dental health)... when I was done I decided to go run around Greenlake.  I decided that I could run around twice...  but when I was done with the second time I decided to go once more...  so that's about 8 and a half miles... I probably could have gone one more time around but my feet were a bit sore...  the lungs were just fine.

I ended up going and getting a new pair of tennies at Super Jock and Jill.. it turns out that my shoes were a little bit big.  I 'm thinking it's because my feet have shrunk since I've lost weight/got into better shape... my new shoes are a bit prettier....

Now I am home, watching Survivor and icing my foot... the arch is still a bit sore from the total fat burning class I did last week...  icing seems to help, that and ibuprofen...

Oh the exciting life I lead.

Tomorrow's FRIDAY

Is it the weekend yet?

I am ready to get to the weekend... today I get to go to the dentist for a cleaning...  I had to call yesterday because I never got a reminder call - good thing I did.  They had me down in the afternoon instead of 8am like it said on my appointment card... hmmm... somebody is not following through.  At least I get to leave early and get out in the sunshine (running in the sunshine that is).

I know I haven't updated you all on Mr. Arms recently... he's still around.  He knows who I am and we talk... He takes my class on the weekend sometimes...   He still has nice arms and I still like to stare at him when he's not looking... heh heh heh... Let's face it - I'm just like a guy with boobs.  Okay, not exactly - I still like to get flowers every once in a while...

Two dates this year, that's a record... sure none of them worked out... maybe I'll get two more in this year...

Let's try an evening post...

I seem to run out of time in the mornings so I'm awake - I might as well write something.

Today I ended up going to the members preview of the new shows opening at SAM (Seattle Art Museum)... they are Kurt and Andy Warhol Media Works... I must say I like the Kurt show... maybe it's because I am still reliving being hit in the head by a lighter at the last Nirvana show in Seattle back in the day...

There's a show opening tomorrow of an artist that I have met before (but don't really know). She does these photographs... they just seem to be all the same... where's the originality??? venture out and do something new...  I guess I am not one to comment - I haven't had a show in almost a year... I'm just getting that feeling of dissatisfaction - I wish Seattle were more like Chicago... more interesting artists with more opportunities to show... not that Seattle doesn't have interesting artist - it's just a really small circle of them and it's hard to break into it... unless you're a hipster or established... okay, I'll quit bitching now...

I guess that's enough whining for the night... I would recommend the shows at SAM...

Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to the dentist and then it's off to Greenlake to attempt to run around it twice... maybe three times.. see how it works.

What I know this morning.

I know that I can sort of run for a long period of time outside.  Is it anywhere near 13 miles?  No.

I know that cup o golds taste just as good as they did when I was ten.

I know that it's hard to type with a wiener dog perched on your shoulder who is trying to bite your nose.

Yesterday during lunch I rode the SLUT finally... it wasn't too exciting but I'm glad I did it.  I got off at the end of the line and then walked back to the office.  It turned out to be a pretty nice day.

My view from the slut...

The old Denny's sign.

I am going to attempt to waste a little more time this morning because no matter how hard I try I always get to work too early.  I suppose that's a good thing but I don't want to always be thought of as an over-achiever...  or a brown-noser... does it make me any more money to get there early?  nope... so I'm going to try and get there right on time.

The weather is supposed to continue to be nice - I am guessing there won't be a ton of people in my class tonight.. I didn't look at the sign up sheet so you never know.  I sure wouldn't be riding a bike inside a gym if I could be doing it outside.

Well, I'm going to be on Radio Go Girl in the upcoming weeks... I'll be talking about Cycle class... first it's talking about boobies - now it's talking about getting over your fear and hoping on a bike...  now if I only could afford to buy a real bike.  I guess I have to wait to win the lottery.

Blurg...

That's sort of how I feel today...

Monday didn't feel quite like a Monday... okay, it felt like a Monday but it wasn't that bad...

This morning we are contemplating that we might be having refrigerator problems... okay, we do have refrigerator problems... we just scheduled service online... woo hoo...  just what we need.

Yesterday I tried to ride the South Lake Union Trolley (SLUT) at lunch but I missed it...  oh well, I will try again today.  The Trolley leaves from just outside my building and goes to the South Lake Union corridor.  The trolley is like the trains they had in Rome... oh how I miss them...

I digress.... let's plan a vacation!

Today is my sister's birthday - if you see her on the street give her a big hug and a kiss...

Here we go again.

I am expecting this week to be better... not as challenging as last week.  The sunshine is going to go away...  at least I got out this weekend and was able to enjoy it for a while.  I am thinking a break might be nice...

Last night Mothers Day dinner was rather pleasant (except I ate too much)... but what else is new.

This week I get to go to the dentist... woo hoo... It's also my sisters birthday tomorrow... we are going to celebrate on Saturday.

I think this is all I've got... those things up above are sumi ink on wedding runner...

Photos from the day (including the first slurpee of the season)...

Enough with the wallowing.

It's going to be another beautiful day and I need to quit being poopy. 

Yesterday I walked around Greenlake with my mother and we had a good time... there were a lot of wiener dogs around and some cute boys... it was nice to get out.

I think today I will hit the studio even though it's going to be nice again... or maybe I'll swing by the studio and pick up my good camera and go out and take pictures somewhere... so I can get out and get some sun and do some work.  I think that's a good idea.

I think I have figured out why I've been down lately... it all comes down to money and autonomy... I am not feeling as though I can afford to do what I want with my life... I went to grad school and spent all this money on my education, but a fine arts degree doesn't pay crap.  I have done all the right things, I've got my degrees, I don't have any credit card debt, I save... It just doesn't feel like I can ever do enough to ever move out of my mother's house... at least on my own...  sure - I could probably troll around and find someone to sponge off of but that's not my style...  it just makes me cranky sometimes.  I'll get over it... you think by now I'd have some sort of life... (I mean more of a life - I have a life, it's just not the one I want right now)....

Maybe I just need some action in the boy department... that probably it... then I wouldn't focus on all the other stuff...

Anyway..... that's what I think.

I don't think it will be pretty.

I bet that my weight will be down a little but I don't think it will be enough to not have to pay. 

There are so many things that I find non-satisfactory this morning.  I'm not in a bad mood - I am just sensing some dissatisfaction in life... I think I may have to do somethng about it...

Yesterday was better at work, but still not great...   Today on the agenda I have ww, teaching and then I am planning on going to the studio - except it's supposed to be pretty nice outside... maybe I'll go take a walk somewhere instead.

Maybe I should just go back to bed (and finish that bag of chocolate chips...).

Thank God...

It's finally Friday.. I had another "feels like Monday" day again yesterday...

I am totally exhausted and looking forward to pilates tonight and studio time this weekend... I sure hope I'm not forgetting anything I have to do this weekend...  I bet you I am.

I don't know if I mentioned it but my friend Matt's son Nick made a film for his senior project and it was accepted into the Seattle International Film Festival.  I bought tickets to it yesterday.  It's called Senior Prom and here's a link That's a bit of good news...

I am ready to get out of this busy-ness... and get back to an even flow...

This is how I'm feeling today... I want the doughnuts - but I can't have the doughnuts!

Today we're not having doughnuts (that's good)... we're having bagels.  I can handle myself around bagels a bit better...

What else do I know?  Not much...

Two to go.

Yesterday wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be...  it still kind of sucked though.  My body is still recovering from body sclupt on Monday.

Ow.

I am totally zoning out here this morning... I think I might need a nap.

I need to keep on track food-wise (what else is new).  I had red vines, beef jerky and popcorn for lunch yesterday...  oh mamma.

I think this might be one of those days when I don't write much.

Coming up today?  It's First Thursday... Survivor.... the Office....

I think that's all I've got ready to come out of me right now...

Send money please.

It was one of those days.

Yesterday turned out to be one of those days that you don't really like that much.  Work was just crazy... there are a few things that I don't know how to do and sometimes I feel really out of place.  I'm good at what I do, but it's sometimes hard to keep up.  I have to admit that I don't really want to go to work today, but I don't want to be one of those people who just hides from things.  I think what it comes down to is a client is asking me what is happening, I don't know the answer, and it takes me forever to get the answer from the person who can give it to me... I don't want to look dumb and I don't want to be the one to give bad customer service...  It just made me cranky.  I almost cried... actually that not why it was one of those days... it was another reason...same scenario - me not knowing exactly what is what.... and being expected to know what that what is...

Yesterday was also weird because I didn't teach last night... first time in a long time I wasn't there on Tuesday night. 

I hope today is better...

Hello? Is anybody out there?

What can I tell you?  I am happy to report that my visit to the Allergist went pretty well.  My lung function is pretty good and they re-tested me for allergies.  I am allergic to dust, grass, dogs and cats.  No trees (what a relief).... he gave me a prescription for Allegra, so when I do run and I start to breath through my mouth I won't react to all the crap I inhale...

Item number two; I don't teach on Tuesday nights anymore... hmmmm... it's kind of weird.... Monday and Wednesday will be fine though...  Mr. Arms touched MY arm yesterday!  woot woot!  I'm thinking maybe I should run tonight... my butt is really sore from my body sculpt class last night though....  oh, what I go through...

Item number three... I don't have an item number three... I was thinking last night that I'd have a lot to report this morning but now I can't remember anything... I guess that's what happens when you get old.

This is the window of Josephina at the American Girl Store

 

 

You just start adding random pictures when you get old.... welcome to the club.

I get to blow my nose

into a piece of saran wrap this morning.

Yes, I'm going to the allergist to get my asthma and allergies checked out...  it should make my running easier and my breathing... it's nice to be able to breathe through your nose.

This weekend turned out to be pretty low key and good... I spent most of the afternoon in the studio yesterday... I'm working on some audio work... I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet... it's a little out there... but I'm working and that's the most important thing.

Up this week?  My new cycle schedule - I get Tuesday and Thursday off... first Thursday happens this week.... maybe I'll try to make it two months in a row that I get out there to see art... then what else...  I think that's about it...

I apologize in advance for the lame-ness of this post.  As the years go by it's harder to be a ranter... I'm just a chronicler.

It's a two post day!

I am sitting here in my nice cozy studio... I cranked up the heat and am listening to the latest episode of Radio Go Girl...   I have actually accomplished some work today and it's only 2:30! 

Today I found out that the cycle schedule is changing so I get a bit of a reprieve.  I'll be teaching Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday!  I will miss my tuesday night class but usually those people go to my other classes so that's cool... the best thing about it is that I can get home in time to watch the Biggest Loser!  I could also skip on Tuesday if I wanted to!

The other day I found a movie coupon that runs out in a few days... maybe I need to go to a movie this week... just a thought...

Okay, back to work.

goo.

Yesterday turned out to be a bust...  sort of.  After my massage I was good for nothing so I ended up watching episodes of Gee and then I streamed the proposal on my Wii through Netflix.  It worked pretty well...

Today I am going to go to the studio after teaching... I have to do it today... I was going to go running (possibly) but I think going to the studio is more important right now.

Okay, what else to talk about... yesterday my massage therapist worked on my IT band.. momma that hurt.  Hopefully it will help it overall with the running.

I think that's all I have this morning... I am thinking of trying to put together a new playlist for cycle... I don't think I'll be able to pull one out before it's time to go...

Hoping for a Miracle...

Yesterday I cracked down on my crappy food intake (I only ate a few bites of the doughnuts at work!)... I am hoping that I will weigh in at goal this morning... if I don't it's alright...

I am pretty excited about getting my armpits waxed this morning... and my legs too... it's been one crazy hair growth cycle (visualize this now...)... okay, now that I've ruined your appetite... think about puppies!  is that better?

I think this afternoon if I have the energy I will go to the studio... I'm thinking I don't have much exciting to say this morning... I'm tired, hopeful, ready for a nap...
