Goals

I have been pretty good with some of my goals..

I have been working out or walking 4 days a week. I am in love with two classes at the gym.. Saturday morning step and Friday night hip hop. The hip hop class is hysterical. I cannot not dance.. but I spend an hour and a half pretending I can. Great fun.
I have been wearing more eye make up... (more is just a little bit.. because I was not wearing any to begin with. )
Reading the bible is become more a a habit.. I am currently rereading the new testament. Normally I read the old testament.. so this is a bit a change for me.
The one thing I am doing horrible with is packing my lunch.. example.. I am currently out for lunch and I just had the worst chicken sandwich that cost me 6 dollars and I can not finish it. If I had packed my lunch I probably would of sent 3 dollars on a equally yucky frozen meal.. but at least it would of been cheaper.. I must remember food is to cease hunger.

I removed saying 'sons of bitches' because I only say it now when I am really annoyed. IE when some one is messing around with TVO during the super bowl.

My Favorite Valentines Day

I have been single more times then not on Valentines day.. so my favorite Valentines day has nothing to do with a romantic evening.

A good couple Valentines ago when I was living with JS and James my gay God Son in Candler Park we were all hanging out waiting for JS boyfriend to pick her up for dinner. And then James the GGS opened up his book of the month package. And hysterically enough his bonus book happened to be the 'Joy Of Sex'. The 'Joy of Sex' is a classic book written similarly to the 'Joy Of Cooking' and it was first published in the early 7o's. It is complete with a florid style of writing and soft charcoal pictures.
We all sat around the kitchen table and laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes and side stitches. James the GGS let me keep the 'Joy Of Sex' as he said he did not have much use for it. I still have it in my book shelf, and makes me smile when I see it.
I am going to have to shot James and email.. I have not spoken to him in a couple months.. I wish he still lived in the ATL. But on the other hand.. it is probably good that he moved back home. His last couple months in the ATL were very very messing and he ended up homeless.

work

This is a picture of what I have at work to keep me smiling.

I really not a huge fan of Care bears.. but I really wanted the green one.. and so I got the blues and the yellow while trying for the green one. They are from a sticker machine at a Mexican Resturant. The nice thing about being an adult, is that I did not have to ask any one else for the quarter.. I just had to reach in to my purse. Handy.

Lovely Day

I love Saturdays. Work is far enough away. And I no longer work a second job.

Today started out by finding a Starbucks card in purse I have not used for ever, and it had money on it! So free coffee! And then I went to my favorite step class, and then I took a nap and then I had lunch with my parents and then I walked around Decatur with some friends.
Topped off by having a late afternoon beer at The Brick Store Pub. It was lovely.

I think I will top off the day by making some cookies..

And even better, I have enough on the Starbucks card for coffee tomorrow.

Unfortunately.. tomorrow wont be as lovely.. as I need to clean some.. :(

Work

I like my job. I am an analyst, and I pretty much analyzes anything they put in front of me and I build reports and automate reports. I work for a pretty big company that laid off hundreds of people last week. Luckily no one on my team was laid off.

That being said.. I just wrote a 3 paragraph venting about a co worker.. and then I deleted them. I realize that I need to concentrate on what I like about about work, and not waste time venting about things I cannot control. Amen

Voting

Next week is Super Tuesday, and I am excited about voting! I love voting. I remember my mom taking MTH and I to vote for the school budget after we turned 18. And since then, I have tried to vote in every election.. I will admit, I miss a couple here and now.. but I vote about 80 percent of the time.
I don't know who I am voting for this coming Tuesday..every time I think I deciede.. I flip.

The one thing I can say for sure, is that I tend to be very middle of the road.. and people on either side of the spectrum annoy me.

One person that annoys me more then most is Ann Coulter. Her rants are just obscene to me..
and I read this in CNN today.. "Coulter took aim at McCain's positions — particularly his fervent anti-torture stance "
I want to go to her. No crap McCain is against he was a POW for 5.5 years and was tortured!
I pointed this out to my co worker today.. and he did not know that about McCain..he was impressed. (with McCain.. not with me :))
McCain will be the first to admit that he is not perfect..and he does not hold any punches. To bad he lost 8 years ago to the current monkey in office.. I think he is too old now..
