Happy Effing New Year!

Monday, January 4th, 2010

I know today is the 4th but really as far as I’m concerned, it’s the first real day of the New Year.

Took the child to school. He voiced his displeasure that his holiday vacation was disrupted with reality of work and school but was otherwise pretty chipper. I am beyond NOT a morning person but I do my best to help him get started off on the right foot by being upbeat. Nothing worse than starting off the day with a stressed out soul in the house. I used to be that person.

Anyyyyway, on my plan for 2010 was to start the Paleo Challenge at my Cross Fit gym. I admit I am a little (?) haphazard or random, also I have a lot of interests and I refuse to just choose one. But I do want to focus on getting my body and energy levels high for better mental, physical performance so that I can manage my balancing act with greater ease.

Sunday the mancub and I watched some of Super Size Me and he was amenable to a cleaner diet. Yes I know he could just do it because mommy said, but I like to save that for emergencies. Otherwise I like to explain so he understands. Plus he is quite the idea boy and has low tolerance for crappy made food so I think it will help me have better quality food too. Heh.

Day in review:

  • Meditated in the morning with the Munchkin before school.
  • Cross Fit Fury workout.
  • Started my Paleo Challenge – purged refrigerator of non-Paleo foods (except for the man and the munchkin’s, because that would just be rude). Took them all over to the MIL’s lol. Hey, she’s not doing Paleo.
  • Stopped working at 7pm. A little later than I meant to but way better than working till 9:30.

    • Book read: The Dance of Fear, started Leveraging Drupal.

    Had nice chats with the husband man and Munchkin Man about cabbages and kings, and cavorted on Facebook.

    More information will be forthcoming about this year’s Operation ME but the year is off to a great start and I am effing happylicious!

    What happened to my fountain of energy? Feels like someone let all the energy out and shut off the tap. Bleh.

    Prescription Fulfillment

    Thursday, September 17th, 2009

    No matter where I go, there I am. My huzzenbad thinks it is very good for my health for me to blog and use Facebook. My mental health, I assume. I have neglected them the last couple of days and I am feeling mentally ill so perhaps he’s right.

    I am feeling exceptionally obedient to my dear man this week so I took his recommendation to chill rather than go step off a plane at 13k feet. Therapeutic as that may be it is not really relaxing. I had to be on call anyway for a deadline, so I had little chill breaks, looking for cool pictures of bird tats that I may one day think about putting on myself, chatting with the Modern Day Hermit, purging inbox, scheduling billpay, getting a pedicure (sorry Ang, next time I will do a pedi-date with you for sure, well one of the next times ;-) ). And the grand finale of the day, once deadline had been satisfied (or so I thought), a sports massage.

    ‘Course when I went for dinner at the MIL’s no sooner did I get there then one more email … “Please email this document.” Which I did not have on me so I had to go back to the house and do that. Sigh. Sort of disrupted my post-massage feeling of contentment.

    But overall I am feeling better. I will sleep like a baby on Tylenol tonight.

    Completely random but someone sent me this hilarious and sadly sometimes true (okay a lot of times, well before :P ) quote:

    More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.

    I suppose people should become better story tellers or I should become a better listener. Or we can just leave things the way they are.

    Actually I suck at telling stories unless I am hit by one of those rare beams of brilliance that assists me in remembering the point of the story that has suddenly branched into 5 stories. But I suck even more at telling jokes. So bad in fact that people sometimes laugh sympathetically. I guess though we achieve the same goal which is to get people to laugh. Just a different method.

    Well, now that I have taken my prescribed dose of documenting my random thoughts I will probably begin to feel better in the near future. Perhaps it’s more like a multivitamin in that it only works to take it before you become (mentally) ill – in which case … ooopsies.

    =)

    Responsible Blogging

    Monday, September 7th, 2009

    Yo, so I was thinking it would probably be responsible as a blogger to document some of the AMAZING THINGS I do. ;-)

    I am so proud of myself for doing my first 2 AFF jumps today and landing without damaging myself. =) I am fucking stoked actually!

    I have to say I was a little more terrified with the first 2 seconds of jumping than I am comfortable with being. Although I guess it’s not uncommon to have to work through a little discomfort to embrace some of life’s more awesome pleasures. ;-)

    I guess I need to be more comfortable with my level of discomfort with new experiences. Heh.

    I did it! Woo! I have committed to being crazy. It’s done. =D

    More on the insanity that was our adventurous weekend later. Or maybe in a few minutes if we are lucky and don’t fall asleep from exhaustion.

    Recognition, baby!

    Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

    So! I come down to make the man cub breakfast and I notice that Dan has left his fortune cookie message on the counter.

    It says: “Soon you will get the recognition you deserve.”

    An idea popped into my head so I put the message in my pocket.

    Later in the day when he asked where his fortune cookie message was I said that I had it and wanted to give him the recognition he deserves.

    I sat on his lap and lifted up my shirt …

    Dan's recognition

    =D I crack myself up sometimes. Yeah baby, I am the recognition you deserve. And then some! ;-)

    A Vocabulary Gem from Google.

    Thursday, July 19th, 2007

    Gallimaufry: A hodge podge. As in “my life is a gallimaufry of amazing feats and astounding screw-ups, utter consistency in some things balanced with dubious lack of staying power in others” perhaps?

    Speaking of the hodge podge that is my brain sometimes, I read that people with ADHD (self-diagnosed in my case) often need business managers. What a great idea, I could perhaps finally invest that trust fund that I never got into a sound business venture of making me more productive so that I won’t be bored and annoy my husband.

    But then it occurred to me in a flash of blinding light (or more aptly when I accidentally walked in on my husband peeing) that HE could be my business manager. (He could really stand to be a little more useful at times. ;-) ) My risk/benefit analysis follows:

    Risk: That he will think he is the boss of me. Well, I have gotten over being offended by his attempts to be the boss of me without title of my business manager so that shouldn’t be insurmountable, and now I will welcome his direction because it will make me accomplish more. I am such an accomplishment junkie. You can be sure I will keep him in check during the off hours. Well, you know. With bribes and offerings of adult pleasures and such. Because I am that reasonable. Mmm-hmmm.

    Benefit: That he will tell me what to do so I don’t have to ponder mundane things like, what I should do first and what does “moderation” mean exactly. I am still not sure how to find whatever it is that lies between Procrastination and Perfection. It kills me really and I would love for someone to explain this to me daily.

    The good news! My Precious agreed to take on the illustrious title (that goes with the hideous responsibility that is dealing with me daily). But who wouldn’t agree, especially with an opener like “You know, I just realized that I am so much more useful when I just do whatever you say! How about we make that official?” Muahahaha.

    My Blankie

    Friday, May 4th, 2007

    I was thinking today about coffee and how it is like my blankie. Without my morning cup of coffee (and sometimes afternoon, and sometimes post-dinner cappuccino), I feel like something is missing.

    I guess it’s like my big girl blankie. Weird. Not that I’m going to do anything about it, it’s not like I have anything to prove. I am not too snotty about it either. I love gourmet coffee and will grind the beans every morning, but if that’s not available, almost any coffee will do. As long as there is enough creamer. Oh yes.

    That concludes the first worthless thought of the day. That I can remember. ;-)
