Workout Day #5

2 1/2 miles ... it was really hard to get motivated to do it!!! I wasn't feeling really good, but decided I haven't done any kind of exercise in a few days, I had better do something. The funny thing is I was only going to do a mile, but I was listening to an audio book and just kept going and going.

Dinner took longer than I planned to make, so I didn't get to take Delphi for her afternoon walk.

Is this a hint???

This is my daughter's computer... it is a Dell ... me and my oldest have Mac's .... I am thinking she wants one too .... LOL

Mammy

My mammogram went well today.. it wasn't as bad as I had heard it would be!!

I think I am catching a cold or something ... I feel horrible today, I was up alot last night with a sore throat. Today is has mostly been a sinus headache.

I had all kinds of plans for things I was going to post on the blog today, but I just want to go to bed!! But, I am waiting for a call from Shelby to come get him from school.. they had something tonight.

I haven't heard anything from the library about the job I applied for .. I think I will call them tomorrow ... to bug them a little more.

Days End

I sit here at my new MacBook with toothpicks holding my eyelids open!! I am soo sleepy, but refuse to go to bed until I reformat my old Macbook so I can start putting the stuff on it for Shelby tomorrow.

Me and Shelby now have pretty much matching MacBook's ... sooo, when I got my new one today, I had to make sure we could tell them apart, so I bought a pink hard case for mine :) -- I will post a picture tomorrow!

Today's workout was well ... for the fingers! I didn't run or walk today.. mostly because I was too caught up in the computer world, but also for female reasons ( I will not expand on that) I plan on doing something tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a fun day -- I have my mammogram... my first one!!

To the Apple store I go...

I am headed to the Apple store today to get my new MacBook. Shelby will be happy to have a computer to himself again.... LOL

Nothing as planned

Nothing went as planned today. I planned on going to the library. I planned on going to run. I planned on getting something accomplished. Well, I did get the pantry cleaned out, but that was it. Seriously, I did nothing else productive today !!

I watched 5 episodes of Weeds from Season 3. (all done with season 3)

I got an email from Shelby's teacher and he didn't turn in a paper, which he had an agreement with the teacher about missing assignments... sooo, he went from a passing grade down to a 52 !!!! With that, I decided to email the rest of his teachers, to find out that in another class... he is too busy flirting than working!! He is a Sophomore -- I should not have to treat him like a 1st grader!!!

Tomorrow will be more productive .. at least I keep telling myself that.. .we will see.

Teen vaccuming

I totally forgot to post this yesterday. I asked Kaleb to vaccum the living room .. well, I went to check on his progress, and he was pushing the vaccum and texting... LOL

Pantry!!

I got brave and decided to clean out/ organize my pantry... 1st let me say... for a 4 bedroom house, almost 3000 sq ft you would think I would have a bigger pantry... Here is the before picture...


Well, while cleaning it out .. I found I have 6 cans of Apple pie filling ... huh? I make apple pie once maybe twice a year... and I have 6 cans???? I also have a LOAD of tomato sauce... I don't know why I have soo much ... LOL Ok, the 500 bags of popcorn.. that is for my popcorn addiction.. that is ok :)

Here is the after picture...

Monday!

It is Monday ... yuk yuk yuk !!! It seems it has been 19 days since I was laid off :( I still have not found a job. I have applied for many, but nothing yet. I am hoping to find something soon. I applied at the local library which has a part time opening, I think I am going to call and follow up on that today. Other than looking for a job, I am going to work on backing up my computer so it will be quicker when I get my new laptop this week. I also have a ton of books I have been wanting to read...

Workout day #4

Day 4 -- afternoon -- went for a 1 1/2 mile walk... I was very motivated today, hopefully tomorrow will be better !!!

Workout day #3

I have decided to keep a journal of my workouts on this blog as well. I am hoping it will help me keep motivated also!

Day 3

9am - walked 2.02 miles - it was a fast pace walk. I used the treadmill which I think the motor may be going out :( It was a little too chilly this morning to go walk outside. I am going to try and go this afternoon and walk about 1 -2 miles when I take Delphi for her walk.

Boring...

Let's see, what did I do today?

Ran a mile!! yipee
updated my address on my drivers license... finally
housework !!

I didn't cook dinner because I have cooked all week and just don't feel like do much this evening. So, Rik went and got Pizza from Mr. Jim's

Shelby is at a friends and Kaleb has a friend staying the night today. I think we are going to watch a movie and I think I may just go to bed early tonight, I am just feeling beat!!

New computer!!!

Shelby's Powerbook seemed to have some problems the other day.. it of course isn't covered under the warranty anymore. I remembered that we have a special clause in our homeowners policy for our computers. So, I called the insurance company today after going to Apple store and being told that it had suffered trauma. Well, trauma is covered. After talking to them and telling them all the specs about the computer, they decided I needed to get a new one :) So, they went online to the Apple store and picked one comperable. She is transferring the money to my account tonight -- dang they are fast!! I am getting he white 13" MacBook It is pretty much the same as mine, but upgraded ... sooo ... I will get the new one and Shelby will get my old one. Now, I just have to wait for the money to get into my account and off to the Apple store I go :)

Workout!

I got a call from my DR the other day and he said I have HIGH CHOLESTEROL :( I have decided to start eating better and working out. I need alot of motivation to keep up a workout routine, so I spent $29.00 and got the Nike+ Sport Kit. I got and got it all set up and went upstairs to the treadmill and tried it out... I did 1/2 first (had to answer the phone)... anyway, a made a mini (you can see to the left). Let me tell you Miss Mini is a bitch!!! She is a little annoying, saying I/she is a couch potato, ect. I decided I would go run some more, so I did a mile... thinking that would make her happy, but NO.. she is still talking smack ! Thanks Dawn for convincing me to make her and I even have her as my screensaver (thanks again Dawn).

Since I am a techie kind of person, I am hoping this will keep me somewhat motivated.

Already...

It is only noon and I have already...

• Gone to the mall and to the Apple store (45 min one way!)
• Hooked up my New Nike+
• Ran/ walked 1/2 mile (then the phone rang and had to take the call)

Well, it seemed like alot until it is in black and white...LOL

I found this cartoon in our little town paper... I had to share... it was pretty good since I was just laid off myself.
