Bullet Thursday

I have a bunch of random garbage floating around in my head - so we're using bullets! Yay!

• I finally sent out ALL of my Graduate Application stuff out. 2 Recommendation Letters (I got to read one), An Essay (that was ok, just didn't "feel" it), An Application, and all of my scores and transcript sent over. Complete with an application check. Now, we cross our fingers.


• The MBA Program at Yale keeps sending me emails. They're full of nonsense if they think this gal is Yale material.


• I've totally forgotten to post about our house stuff. Replacing knobs and cleaning out a spare junk room/bedroom. It's not all that exciting, but I might remember to post that stuff this weekend. I know you're on pins and needles.


• I've decided that hubs working crazy hours is for the birds. We must do something about this, but sadly it's kinda out of my control. I hate that. It makes me slightly angry inside.


• I'm kinda in a fowl mood. I don't want to go to spin class tonight. I'm actually thinking about just hitting the gym the old fashioned way, but I know that I wont put that much effort into it. Grr.


• I'm retiring from running this winter. Retiring. It's too freakin' cold. There, I feel better now that I've said it. Poor Garmin wont get any use till around February.


• I bought our Jack Russell (Rocky) a jacket yesterday. A $30 jacket. Ha. Did you know they make dog shoes, too? If I thought they'd stay on his feet and he wouldn't tinkle on them...I'd get them.


• My friend just made me laugh by saying he had an interview and photoshoot with GQ magazine for the Top 50 Hottest Men article. LOL Silly.


• See the above picture? It's from my work calendar. I love piglets. Next year's calendar? Sleeping puppy dogs. I seriously can't wait till 2010 now!
  
• I work a different shift tomorrow due to someone taking a vacation and it's my turn on the "rotation." I'll be working 2pm-11pm. I don't know how that's gonna fly since I haven't been up that late in foe-eva! But, I'm gonna love me some sleeping in! :)

Happy Rest Days

Edited to add: The song is called "Jump" and it's by FloRida ft Nelly Furtado. Def downloading tonight!

Well, spin class did it again...it kicked my booty! She changed it up some last night and I was so thankful for that. We didn't have to hover - just the running part and some "holding on hills." But, don't let me fool ya; I was a sweaty mess when we were finished! Luckly, there were a few newbies in there last night (besides me), so I didn't feel like I was the only one who didn't have a clue why she was in there (ha!). But, to my dismay, one of the newbies left while we were still warming up. Hmmm. I just don't get that, btw. I will never leave a class - no matter how badly it sucks. I think it just shows that you're not putting your all in it. Because, lets face it... if you gave it your all - you'd still be there! Maybe not at the level that you need to be, but you'd still be there nonetheless...

Moving on.. I was seriously sweaty and seriously nauseous! I've never been nauseous after exercising - so that tells you how much effort I put into last night! My legs felt like jello when we were finished! Btw, yes I've felt nauseous during/after running, but that doesn't count. LOL Oh, random thought.. the instructor plays her iPod over the speakers for us and she has this one song that goes "When I say jump, you say how high..." - it's really upbeat and it makes me feel like I can conquer anything... anyone ever heard of it? I'm gonna have to go google that now....

Anyways, something I noticed last night... Men, quit reading now... This next paragraph is TMI...

My sports bra doesn't "feel" the way it used to. Meaning, I'm afraid it will slip up at any moment because there is nothing weighing it down! Yikes! I'm so not joking and I'm starting to feel a little self conscious. Which leads me to this question... Who designs bras anyways? I recently had to go get a 34 (used to be 36) in measurement... and the ONLY colors available were bright pink and yellow, and then some striped zebra thing. Seriously? I'm expected to wear these confidently under a white shirt?? I can't even take myself seriously while wearing these things. Who's bright idea was this anyways?? So, that leaves me thinking... Surely there are women out there who are over the age of 15 who wear a 34! I know my ribcage can't be that tiny! LOL Does anyone else have that problem? And what do I do if I ever (Heaven forbid) have to go to a 32 (is that even possible, anyways?)? Because, right now, I'm on the smallest "setting" on the 34.... Anyways, any thoughts on where a tiny ribcage can get an adult colored bra? LOL I can't even believe I'm putting all of this out there.....

Anywho, tonight is thankfully a rest night. I'm so sore from Pilates and then my legs are tired from Spin... that I'm taking tonight off!

TG Monday Is Gone!

Well, good news, my bad mood has passed! ha! Yesterday was a long day - I made so many stupid mistakes that it was unreal. Let's hope today isn't a repeat. :)

I went to Pilates again last night. This time she switched things up a bit; I was both glad and uneasy about this. It was nice that we weren't doing the exact same moves as last week, but man those moves we did last night made me realize once again how uncoordinated I am. You know there is always one person in a class who just looks like a total moron no matter how hard they try - yeah, that girl was me. ha! No surprise though, that girl has always been me. I swear I'm the most uncoordinated person you'll ever meet. That's why I think me and running get along so well... If only it weren't so darn cold!

Anyways, I woke this morning with a little soreness - not as much as last week. I'm sore in my lower ab muscles which makes me kinda happy to think that the pooch that has taken residence might have a chance at disappearing! LOL Anyways, I've also got some head cold stuff going on. The stupid weather changed drastically yesterday and ticked my body off. No joke, it was 60 when I came to work yesterday morning and 40 when I left work. Yeah, my body was not happy about that and it's letting me know this morning. So, assuming that I don't feel like a Mack truck hit me this afternoon, I'll be attempting Spin class again. :) I'm kinda excited about that since it's a major booty kicker.

One last note... I'm still carbonated drink free! One week as of today! And, somehow I lost 3 pounds last week. I'm sure it was all water since I was retaining water like it was my job. But, I took my measurements again yesterday (a new Monday ritual) and I know exactly where that water was hiding - around my waistline! Thank goodness it's gone, because the buttons on my pants were screaming last week! :)

Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!

BTW, I turned on Anonymous comments... So, feel free to say hello!
