Ouch!

Because a lot of my girlfriends are knocked up. OK. Only 3, but 3 also just had babies, so I've been visiting iVillage a lot. I have decided I pretty much like this site altogether really. It's easy to use, easy to find stuff (most of the time), and has good info.

Anyway...I found this "Get Fit Without the Gym" article and thought the stuff it tells you to do sounded pretty easy and so I printed it out and put it somewhere visible in my office. I have done the "Seated Quad Shaper" three times this week, and the "Break-Time Butt Drill" once. My butt and abs are a little sore today and this must be why. I can really feel it when I walk up and down the stairs. I actually can feel my abs being worked out when I do the first excersise, and I don't feel like I'm doing anything anyway. I actually do that one two or three times in one day. OK. Just yesterday I did it 3 times. I think I'll try to put them all into a rotation, and maybe I can skip the gym forever!

New Year's Resolutions Anyone?

What are your New Years Resolutions? I have to say, I'm off the bandwagon this year. I don't think I have any. I usually have some sort of list running on things I want to improve of myself, and at this very moment. I can't think of anything to bring to the forefront. So I thought maybe I'd just adopt a couple of my friends resolutions. So what do you got?

I really wish I could stop associating with people who annoy the crap out of me, but I think that's an unrealistic goal.

I thought I'd dredge up a list I made last year and see how I'm doing with that one.
I think I did pretty well with it.

8 Degrees

Do you know what's great about 8 degree temperatures? I know, not much that's for sure. But one positive thing about this chilly weather is that I can buy frozen stuff on my lunch hour and leave it in my trunk until I get home at 5:00. I just stocked up on frozen meals for the next week at 1.50 a piece. Go me!

Appreciation for the Thumb Tip

Since my incident on Thursday I have really developed an appreciation for thumbtips.
First of all, since I have no thumbtip, my sensitivity has skyrocked. If anything so much as flutters past my thumbtip, it hurts like hell! So here is a short list of things that are nearly impossible to do without a thumbtip.

Almost Impossible to Do:
Wipe. I'm right handed. Not very talented with the left in this category.
Put on earings.
Shuffle cards.
Zip.
Put on a seat belt.
Start my car.
Pick up a pen.
Carry anything in my right hand.
Get something out of my pocket.
Use a scissor.

Very Hard to Do:
Type.
Write.
Shampoo my hair.
Brush my teeth. Again, I'm a righty. Hard to do with the left.

I've Decided

I've decided that on a day like today, it would be fun to have kids. Some people have brought their kids into the office to show off their costumes. Some are totally cute. One little girl (Maybe she was 2, I can't tell b/c I generally don't like kids and therefore don't pay attention) was dressed up like a little white chicken. Her little poofy butt was so cute. She even had those little head feathers. Totally cute. Plus she was running around acting like a chicken. Then there were my co-workers quads. They came in all dressed up as something different. Then there are my "kid costume" ideas that I have come up with while perusing the websites for/with my friends who have kids. I've come up with the first 3 years worth of costumes for my kids. You'll just have to wait and see what they are (If you don't die of old age first). I told my boss that maybe next year I'll borrow her kids and run around with them. Then give them back when they're good and sugared up. Of course!

OK. Well, I'm outy for the night. Peace out brotha!
