Well I woke up super early today and I worked out and then I got to walk with my one and only! So I’m all hopped up on BLACK TEA!!!! I brewed 2 bags in one cup which = trouble! But I’m ok with it. Are you? O’wait I don’t care. :oP
It’s been forever and then some since I last took any care for you blog… I’m deeply apologetic since mounds of things have happened since last we did meet:
Derby – my passion, life, and vigor for the past few months … phenomenal! Roller Derby with the Penn Jersey Roller Derby is phenomenal! I am on a team and my team is filled with super nice ladies who also happen to kick butt! :O) The league is filled with even more super nice ladies and gents that kick butt! It’s just over all an amazing fun filled piece of my life!
Family – Mom & Sister always amazing… DUH! If you have read an inch of this blog you would know how wonderful they both are! The wonderfulness of them hasn’t left one little bit it’s only gotten better! We continue to have fun crazy wacky times together that will forever be cherished by me!
Honey face head (one and only) – His job is finally calming down which means HE is calming down. WHICH means we get to do lots of fun seemingly boring things together. Like go for walks in the morning, eat at a new restaurant, pick out a car alarm, make dinner together, watch the Tee Vee together, and other stuff that people would think was boring BUT when done in pairs is much more enjoyable!
Un-Fatting – As of today I am down 22 lbs. I don’t intend to lose too much more… and I’m pretty certain that I will post pictures for you to see actual results b/c I find them motivating… maybe you will as well. Or maybe you will just go on a tangent saying this chick is full of herself who really wants to see pics of her before and after. Pfffft! Friday (o today) is technically the end of our challenge. BUT as we changed so did the club… I don’t think there will be any consequences for anyone. We will just continue to support each other and keep up with the jobs well done!
With my weight loss came… SHOPPING!! And going from a size 12 at one store to a size 6! Going from a size 10 to a 4! Also, going from shirts that say XL to ones that say S and gasp even a few that say XS. NOT that sizes matter but dang does it feel nice! Don’t get me wrong I have literally worked my buns off to get here. There was no magical wand I waved to make this happen… b/c if you will note I started this on March 7th… it is now July 16th. You do the math. About 19 weeks… 19 weeks = 22 lbs. Also since I shared the DVDs that I worked out to before I will share the new ones I added to my routine. Personal Training with Jackie (where she kicks your butt… granted her and Jillian have the same principles BUT their workouts do indeed make you hurt in different places), then there is this Random Scott Pilates DVD (note the link does not take you to the one i have b/c it's so random i can't find it on the www) my mom had given me one year for my birthday, and finally (at this current moment) Shiva Rea Yoga (this yoga DVD isn't stupid like many i have come across the routines are nice and actually make you sweat... though there is ONE segment where you just lie on the floor and i feel asleep... yeah you read that right). I also continue to throw Jillian in there at random times to make sure things are switched up often!
There is plenty of other stuff that has happened, backpacking, zip lining, rock wall climbing, derby games, trying to plan a kind of wedding, work, work, and more work. I’m just glad I wrote this post.
So until next time b/c who knows when that will be… enjoy your life! I’m enjoying mine!

wow
i just realized i have 2 post for 2010 vs the bunch of post i had in 2008... 2009 had a bunch too but not as much as 2008... guess i was more word filled in 2008.... hmmm.
Random out of the blue post
So is it crippling to see an ad for a part time job that has remedial tasks but offers the same amount of pay you currently get for your over stuffed full time job? Does it make you want to apply for said part time job? The answer to both questions are YES!! WOW it’s kind of terrible really. But will I apply for the part time job… most likely NO. Why because if I start a part time job and it’s all good for a while… (oh yeah forget the part where I wont have health care) but then it gets boring and I go to look for another job… how do you explain why you went from working FT to PT without sounding like a lazy person? Oh well the PT job paid the same as the FT except I could work less… and have more me time. (b/c I don’t have children, sick person to take care of… or other acceptable reasons for working less when you could work more.) BLAH to all of this… this whole paragraph.
What else… I haven’t blogged in forever. And I don’t like that but I’ve accepted it. sorry if you haven’t… that makes me slightly sad for you but mostly I feel nothing b/c I’m dead inside. Ok I’m not dead inside I just don’t feel bad b/c I have been super busy! With new apartment, roller derby, laundry (did you know it breeds when your not looking?), being less fat (yeah you read that right 14 lbs and counting wahoo), and other various things that seem more important then blogging.
Sure I have tons of topics to blog about and crazy stories. But they all slipped into the sleepy dust and it’s not very likely that we will see them again (that is totally from an Eisley song you’ll get over it). … what’s that you say you want to hear about the process of un-fatting (wow that is a word AWESOME... wait it's a word in Word but not according to blogger Compose... see my note to Compose for further hate). Well I have been watching calories (thank you myplate) and I did the 30 day shred (if I’m brave I might post the actual photographic evidence showing you how that worked out), then I switched onto 2 of Jillian Michaels other workout DVDs: No more trouble zones & Banish fat boost metabolism (thank goodness it isn’t the other way around). With some jogging and lots of skating mixed in and BAM I have lost 14 lbs since March 7th and counting! It’s been a lot of work BUT the way I figure it… in retrospect it took me I don’t know 6-7 years to get this fatty fat so a few months ½ year to get un-fat is NOTHING! And then of course keeping up with it will be another challenge but one I’m more then ready to take on.
Should I also mention that I am part of a fat club… it consists of my 2 friends and me. We support each other and have an ultimate punishment for the fatty that doesn’t lose the most weight by July 16th!! So that is a lot of motivation right there. But it has sort of turned more into a lifestyle change and wanting to keep up with it. Which is really cool. So I have been super busy trying to make sure I exercise and eat healthy everyday. Sorry blog you have once again suffered the consequences. (side note i typed this all in word then copied it over to blogger and i had to use the Edit Html to paste b/c Compose doesn't like you pasting. well screw you Compose Edit Html is way nicer then you ever were.) Anyways this is my random out of the blue post and you love it.
Bye bye now. (notice i put a few links in to lead you to the un-fat things i have been using... just showing you... not suggesting that you need un-fatting... just showing you.)

Dusting off my blog…
I know it’s been awhile but I have a tale to tell!
So I moved into an apartment FINALLY!!! OUR own place! It’s very wonderful! But that is besides the point… or maybe it’s part of the point… :O)
As we all know I hate the evil place that shall not be named… Well my Honey had time to himself (which seems like a good idea) and he found some furniture on line from the evil place. So he thought he would go to the evil place in person to check it out… but SURPRISE they didn’t have the furniture however they did have other things he needed… like bread, cereal, and a few other food items. So he thought “well I’m already here so I’ll just get a few things.” NOW I know what about to say is going to make me sound like a hysterical lunatic but I don’t care.
The evil place won that day. It won it did what it planned to do all along… it got you in there with false ads… and when you couldn’t find what you came for instead of leaving b/c they didn’t have what you went for you got distracted and spent money there anyway on something totally irrelevant to your purpose. Something that could have been bought somewhere else better that actually had the things you were looking for instead of falsely advertised not things!
Now I know that is the purpose of many places to get you in… and get you to stay and spend money… but I just feel the evil place has a freak show ability to do this to people! And I know it’s just a few items he bought… and in the long run doesn’t make them a bunch of money… but I still feel like buying things from them is like just giving them my paycheck that I work to get from them to begin with. I work 5 days a week to get the pay check I get FROM them why would, I then go and give it right back to them? b/c I have a false sense of low prices from them?
Let’s just face the bottom line… I hate them!
The End…

A collection of things
Well last night my sister and I witnessed true genius at work:
Sis: (to store employee) “Do you sell Fabric here?”
Employee: “No”
Sis: “ ok Thank you.”
Employee: “Well actually last week a lady was asking me about fabric and there is this aisle. I can take you to it… it has like rugs…..and…”
Sis and I: “No that’s ok…”
Employee walks away…
Sis and I proceed to laugh about it for the rest of the night.
Sis decides he must be watching too much project runway. Rugs Fabric not the same thing. Then we needed to find the Halloween clearance and I suggested asking the employee again I also suggested what his answer would be… “Oh Halloween clearance I have some Halloween stuff in my truck I can take you over to my car…”
What a fun night we had with Melted cheese and chocolate, looking at shoes that are too expensive, shopping fun, and clueless employees! Sister nights are always fun! The only thing to make them better is adding the Queen (mom)! Which will happen Sunday!! Crafty funday!
I have been to two roller derby practices since I wrote so many moons ago. They have been fun and I love it!! Just like I suspected I would!! I still haven’t come close to finishing forever blanket #2. But some day I will and I will tell you all about it… I think.
Well I don’t feel like writing anything else b/c it’s Friday. And somehow by some miracle of God I wish that we would get out of work early today… I doubt that is going to happen. O’well, have a great weekend.

Can i get a moment?
So lots of things happening and not happening! I finished the baby blanket. It's cute and soft and i gave it to the father to be. he seemed really touched by it. Which leads me to believe that no one gave them a hand made blanket yet.... i guess all their friends and family are buy it types. Interesting. (also he quick put it in his car so that his wife could open it 1st which i think is super cute.)
I attend a really pretty wedding this weekend. It was nice and fun and the bride looked pretty! :O) Not to mention she is super nice and now i have to start working on the blanket for her. (so i have taken it out twice oh wait make that three times and i think i can now really make some head way on it.) Attending this wedding i think woke my honey up or something as to the cost of weddings/receptions. So he had a mini break down over it. I think i have managed to talk him off his ledge. Not sure.
He has perhaps come to the realization that we are paying for whatever we have. (i already knew this and am quite fine with this in fact i like this.) I think that made him realize that you can't just pick a fancy place and go from there. 1st you need a list of how many people and depending on that you then go to the venue. Then the food. I have no doubt that no matter where we have it that we can make it lovely. I already have a thousand and one ideas on decorations... and a theme.... and the list goes on and on. I just need to ease his mind and get him out of fancy pantsy mode i think.
I left my cell phone at my mom's house last night and she is truly hilarious. I called her from the Honey's phone when i got home just to make sure i did leave it there. She said "Oh yeah i was wondering what that fancy calculator was doing on the counter." LOL yes mom i left my fancy calculator at your house. So today with out it i feel a little naked, a little dirty, a little happy, a little sad, a little nutty, and a little free.
I am 90% certain i will be joining a roller derby team real soon! I can't wait!!! it will be awesome! so i hope. I feel like the physical activity of it alone would be awesome. I don't know yet for 100% but i really am excited about it. All the people involved that i have meet so far are so super nice. Fun FUN!
I have a list of exciting things come up soon:
Social Distortion show
Zip Lining
Crafting at the sisters!
The GEM show (gemmy gem gem)
Roller Derby
Roller Derby
Paying of a Credit Card
AND MUCH MORE!!!!
I can't wait for all the fun FUN! OK i suppose i should go now and work or something.
