Let me start my apologizing up front for today’s post – it is extremely random and if you want to quit now – go ahead. I can’t seem to focus on one thing right now; my mind is going crazy!

Last night:
Kitty was explaining to me that she had an English project that required her to look up a famous dead person and write 6 facts about them and include pictures of those 6 facts…got it?
Okay -
Kitty: “Mom, I felt so retarded turning in my English project today!”
Me: “Why, what was wrong with it?”
Kitty: “I was the only person to turn in drawings instead of using printed pictures.”
Me: “So? You did the project to the best of your procrastinating, no printer at home abilities!”
Kitty: “Yeah, but I drew STICK FIGURES!”
Me: “What? Stick figures? Why didn’t you ask me to print pictures at work and bring them home?!”
LMAO!
Kitty: “I forgot. – My teacher just looked at me like I was in kindergarten!”
Me: “Why? Did you just draw 6 stick figures?”
ROTFL!
Kitty: “No! I drew them all 6 different sizes – you know a small stick figure of baby George Washington all the way up to the grown gentleman stick figure of George Washington – I didn’t have my map colors to color his puffy hair white, but I drew his afro!”
LOL! I couldn’t even speak at this moment – I was crying so hard from laughing at her because she was so sincere in her efforts!
Shish! I love that girl!

I watched the Biggest Loser last night and I now firmly believe that I was a Drill Sergeant in another life! This would explain my excessive yelling and constantly timing the chores or directions I give. YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES! Every aspect about the yelling, the discipline, the teamwork and the honor and integrity of (making) showing someone the power they do have within – well? – that is what I am ALLLLLLLLL about!

“The Friend” came into my office this morning and caught me eating a corndog. Yes, a corndog. She informed me that I needed to give up all fast food (all fast food by her standards) and, well, you know what? She is right. I do need to give up the CRAP food that I put into my body and try to focus more on my eating! But, that breaded wiener coated in mustard sure was yummy! Just saying…

Do you see that little box to the left? This is my NO MORE EXCUSES box. I WILL show everyone that I CAN do what I write about. 21 miles EVERY WEEK is my goal. So, if you see me slacking – please send me a comment and let the world know or give me a reason to get my hotness off the freaking office chair and go run!
WAIT! DON”T comment today! You have to understand that my grandmother passed away yesterday and these next few days I will be traveling in and out of town. So, I will do my best to meet my goal this week – but next week? IT”S ON!

There have been a lot of things happening during the compilation of today’s post, so now I am going to go to the HUMMER and beat my head against the steering wheel out of frustration…toodles!
Days 140-146 Getting Back on Track
Yesterday was spent in business meetings and catching up on the mounds of work that overtook my desk. I had planned to post last night when I got home, but my computer apparently cheated on me and caught a virus when we were away and now it is crap! Soooo, I get to spend my lunch break at Best Buy! Ugh!
First let me begin by saying that I had a fun time away! I enjoy ANY and ALL time that I get to spend NOT working! The kids went with us this year and they definitely made the trip entertaining. I have several stories I want to share with everyone, but I will post those one at a time or I will have a book-long post today.
(Speaking of books – after 9 days of not writing, I am now wayyyy behind on mine – just saying…)
Random:
When I got home, I got back on the scale.
I shouldn’t have…
I saw pictures (who I think – not quite sure) of myself this weekend.
I shouldn’t have looked… (That can’t be me – maybe they were secretly photoshopped - hmm Nancy?)
I didn’t really deep “clean” the house before I left.
I should HAVE!
*sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
Okay, story number one. You know how most families drive down the road listening to the radio or watching a DVD – something – right?
Well my family talks - case in point – the conversation went like this:
“peter piper picked…”
“peppers!”
“no – it goes – peter piper picked peppers”
“no – that’s not it either – peter piper picked pickles”
“peter piper picked pathadaaaaaaaaaa”
“WTH are you saying?”
“peter piper picked pathadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
“omg – you are all idiots!”
“peter piper picked pickled peppers”
“NO – You don’t know it either!”
“peter piper picked pathadaaaaaaaaaaaa”
Over and over again - THIS WENT ON FOR 20 MINUTES PEOPLE!!!!!!
Finally I googled the dang nursery rhyme and for all of you people out there that are completely screwed up now because my family can’t remember the words, they are:
“Peter Piper picked a peck(yes that is spelled correctly) of pickled peppers.”
Okay, after I googled the correct words, you would think that they “got it” right? Hell no, it started all over again!
“peter piper picked pethadaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
Over and over again!
“IF YOU DON’T HAVE IT BY NOW, YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO GET IT – QUIT TRYING!”
Leave it up to my family to travel down the highway F-ing up nursery rhymes for our entertainment pleasure! LOL!
By the way, my stomach hurt the next day from laughing so hard! Shish!
Speaking of stomach – mmmkay - I WILL be working out from now on – no more breaks! Even if it is just walking – I can’t keep riding this roller coaster and ending up at the same place where I started– it’s time I find my motivation again that drove me at the first of the summer OR I will gain back the entire 27lbs that I have lost!
And that can’t happen – no way – no how!
This having 3 chins thing isn’t working for me! I totally can’t pull off that facial accessory!
Now, I get to go into another fun work meeting…
