Another Dinner At My House!

Tonight we are having Kielbasa and SourKraut!! You can add potatoes and that tastes awesome but we started a diet so we aren’t having potatoes with ours!

Fry the Kielbasa and SourKraut and serve!! That easy, if you make potatoes with them then cut and peel (or leave the skin I’m versatile!) and fry first then add the kielbasa and sourkraut!

I know I astound you with my talent as a chef! I promise I am self-taught, I know you’re jealous! HAH!

So...tired

I wasn’t going to post today…but I thought that I would update to let everyone know how my workout went this morning!! Woke up at 4:10 got to the gym at 5:10 worked out till 6:15, almost killed myself on a chin up thingy machine (yes that is the technical term) and came home to shower and go to work…I left work early so I didn’t have to deal with traffic tonight, thank God! I’m so effing sore I think I might just sit here all night and not move…I don’t know M. might not like that since thats pretty much what I did last night! HAHA!
Tomorrow is Thursday…one day away from Friday! HOLLA!

Did you know that...

I have been up since 4:25 a.m. of my own volition! Yes, that is me the glutton for punishment! Since I moved to New York I have steadily gained weight with my venture into birth control and horrible back problems that have yet to be resolved! I have gained so much weight that I don’t recognize myself in the mirror any longer, I dieted for a good 6 months and lost maybe 6 pounds…and gave up. So I am back at it again thanks to a couple of friends that are amazingly inspirational and I am glad they are helping me!
So in order for all of us to go to the gym in the morning and make it back before our significant others wake up or go to work we leave at 4:45 to get to the gym around 5:00-5:10 they go tanning (I will once I lose weight) then we work out for an hour to about 6:15-6:20. I get home by 6:45 in enough time for a quick shower, wake up M., and leave my house by 7:30 to make it to work on time! I thought I would be more tired this morning but I wasn’t, it has just now hit me that I am lagging a little this afternoon. My co-worker walked past me while I was making copies and said something funny (or supposed to be, I’m not sure) and I giggled smiled and said “yea.” Hell if I know I could have just sold my first born to him for $1 but I couldn’t register what he had said to me! Oh well I love the energy I get from going to the gym…so this week will be rough (three days a week at 4:20 am) but I will get into a routine and make myself follow a strict regimen so I can become the person I’ve been missing for awhile!
Happy Tuesday…almost Wednesday not close enough to Friday!

Weekend wrap-up

Friday: As I posted before was the surprise that was taken back! It was roses spread out on our bed in the shape of a heart. To some it may be cliche but for me it was so beautiful and loving because he didn’t have to! We went to dinner at Applebees where I didn’t order soda (1 for me 0 for my waistline). Then we went to blockbuster to return our movies from last week (Marley and Me, Something Christina, Barcelona and two of his movies) Don’t let your children watch Marley and Me, M. and I couldn’t keep ourselves together for most of the day we watched it. Back to my Friday. We picked up a movie for him (W., I didn’t want to see it but hey it’s his pick) and then Changeling for me!
Saturday: M. had to work from 8-12 (”No later then 12 babe, I promise!”) I put on my movie and stopped and started it as I saw fit to clean our apartment. Then 12:15 rolls around, still no M., I sign on to Facebook and talk about the joy of being a mechanics wife to M.’s bosses wife! Then Mel graced me with his presence around 12:45 he showered and we went to do laundary, pay some bills, and do a little shopping.
Sunday: I woke up in a rare mood, I miss my family terribly and when I get into a funk I apologize to anyone in a 10-mile radius that has the unfortunate fate of coming into contact with me. M. and I started our diet, officially, we had bagels for breakfast and no carbs the rest of the day. He worked on his car at the shop and I watched another movie that he wouldn’t otherwise watch with me. I met up with him at the shop:
“10 minutes and I’ll be done for the day and we can go to the store.”
1-hour later we were in our grocery store picking up last minute things for the week. M.’s brother came down from the city so we hung out with him for a few minutes and grabbed a late lunch (salads with grilled chicken). We were then so full that we didn’t eat dinner later, M. cleaned his car and mine (love him!) and I sat on the porch with a great book, Jodi Picoult Harvesting the Heart, with hot tea and let our kitten Chevy run around on the enclosed porch!! We came in and didn’t put the laundary away or clean our turtles tank and went to bed early! We are rebels but we had a great weekend, I hope everyone elses went well too!!

DAMn it all to HELL!

I got a call from M. my lover my fiance as soon as I sat down at my desk this morning. Went a little something like this:
“Hello….you there”
“Yes, I’m here, what are you doing? Everything alright?”
“Yes, everything’s fine but I wanted to tell you to not come home early I have a suprise for you that I have to set up at lunch and I know you don’t feel good but you can’t come home early!!”
“What is it?”
“It’s not a suprise if I…”
“But you could just tell me because it’s 9 am and I don’t get home until 6:30 pm!”
“No I can’t, we’re really busy here today gotta go”
“Love you”
“Love you too, bye”
So I spent the first half of my day wondering and thinking and scheming on how I could sneak home early. I couldn’t wait to talk to him at lunchtime (we talk everyday at lunch…keeps us up-to-the minute with everything that changes in our world so quickly). So he calls at noon and it goes like this:
“Well, you can come home early now if you want”
“It’s all set up?????!!!!”
“No, the place didn’t have what I wanted to get you until tomorrow, so it’ll have to wait.”
“WHAT….you tell me theres a surprise for me then you rip it back like a bully stealing my candy!!”
“Yea, sorry…it’s not like your not going to get the surprise I just don’t think it’ll be today”
“Well then you have to tell me what store your getting it at or what it is, you are FREAKING killing me”
“Gotta lock-up and get lunch at home…talk later Love you”
“Yah Love you too”
Needless to say I still can’t leave early because I have to save my time offfor my sisters wedding in August…my throat is sore…my head is throbbing…and thank you for listening another Gold Star is awarded to you!

Because it's just so fun!

One of the things I hate MOST about my commute, besides the idiots on the road and the terrible pains I get in my ass from sitting so long, is the look and questions I get when people ask me where I work. Usually it’s
“Are you crazy, I could never do that…” (Thats nice for you, but I have to support my habit of wanting to have a home and food to eat, I really need to go to a meeting about that!)
“WOW do you know how far that is?” (No I don’t I just blindly drive with my thumb in my whoohaa and have no idea what time I leave in the morning and when I get to work)
And then theirs the blank stare followed by a face of pity to which I like to respond (someone has to do it, and I am the one to do it, I call myself superwomen!haha)
Assclowns are born every minute just to toy with me while driving! But rest assured that you all will be the first to read about it when it happens!

A day in my life...real time edition...

I am sitting here at work with my head in my hands wondering how I got to where I am at this very moment. The system we use in my company has been thoroughly changed to appease Audit, which means that 50% of my job I can’t do and have to wait to see if they will change it back or if I will have to give that duty to someone else…which means a lot more work for me! YAY! It is Spring Break for the kiddies in the world (or at least by me) and two of them are in a vacant office behind me playing video games together! Fine…peaceful…until…
“NO NOT MY SHIP…YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME ALIVE…”
“Wait let me hear (talking about the headphones to the game) I wanna hear you kill them”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..PLEASE NOOOOOOO”
Ok so I am going to try and get my work done now…in-between the shrieking and the lovely sounds of children 10 and under chewing with their mouth open! Hey I’m not a parent yet, and I know that you can’t watch your kids all the time…but if you bring them to the office try and “HUSH” them a little!! I know I will probably be ridiculed for that but hey…this is my life real time!
