Laundry-and Kitty Royalty.

So today is day 3 in a row of going to the gym. (yay me) and I am fed up with all the laundry that going to the gym creates. I know that I can't just wear my sweaty clothing day after day, well because that is icky...But I swear that I do WAY more laundry when I actually take my fat butt to the gym. I guess you win some and you lose some, and I would rather have clothing that fits to wash, than to small clothing that doesn't fit, and well therefore I would not have to wash it, because I could not even wear it :)

Goal: Be able to wear ALL the really expensive jeans that are in my closet!
Deadline: January 1st

Yeah, I know that most people set an exercise plan as their New Years resolution, but I am going to do it backwards, and be SKINNY on New Years. God knows that I probably won't even go anywhere because it will be negative degrees here in the frozen tundra, and I won't get to show off my new body because I will be dressed in layers, but at least I will feel good about myself.

My kitty has started thinking that she should work with me, and by work, I mean sit in front of my computer, or step on the keyboard, or try to eat the phone cord. This is making work a lot harder than it should be...But she is just so darn cute that I feel bad throwing her out of my office all the time. (PS did you know that Molly the kitty is an Egyptian Mau), yes that is the type of cat that she is (We learned it on the Animal Planet show because we are losers and there was nothing else on TV, and we didn't want to go out and spend money because we are buying a house)...

Dru has started calling the kitty "Egyptian Mau" And I am no longer allowed to call her fat, because supposedly her hangy fat off her belly is her "Speed Pouch". Yes this is all true, the Animal Planet told us so. I told Dru it sounds like she is smuggling drugs in her "Speed Pouch", but he insists that it makes her faster...

Happy Tuesday..

What is your before New Year's Resolution???

Productivity at its finest

I have been so productive today that it almost scares me. Productivity when you work from home is a really important thing to achieve, and I just wanted to toot my own horn and say that I have been just that today, productive.

Work is going great, and my to do list is shrinking in size. Hopefully that does not mean that I am leaving a million things off it, but I am actually getting work done. I did laundry in between work, and lunch and dealing with the house buying process. I have been on the phone all morning and now it is 2pm, so why do I have to stop being productive NOW?? I think that I might have a case of ADHD because now I don't want to do anything.

My baby kitty sometimes tries to choke herself with her collar and I am getting worried. Dru keeps telling me that she does not need her tags since she is an inside kitty but I beg to differ. She is one sneaky animal, and she WILL get out one day to chase those damn squirrels and bunny rabbits. I want to be able to identify her when she gets in a fight with a squirrel and does not win, I want to be able to call the chip place so they can track down my kitty if she runs away. So those tags are important, and it is not my fault that she sometimes tries to commit suicide by chewing at them.

I'm pretty sure that she might have ESP or something, because she is now perched next to my screen watching me type this. Wow, I am a weird Cat Lady...........

Enough about my kitty (child) for now. Gosh I think that I might be turning into a mommy blogger. Especially since I just used the word "gosh". But it upsets my mom when I use the F word and I am pretty sure that my grandma reads this too, so I should keep it PC.

Now that I am a crazy cat lady and this blog is about nothing important, I should probably try to be productive at what I am getting paid to do, WORK!!

Happy Thursday-Wow I can't believe that it is already Thursday!! This week has gone by fast.

Birthdays and Dr. Appts

First I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mom, and to Reem. You both are such special people in my life, and I hope that you have a great day!!!!!

I have finally succumbed to the pain in my lower back and I am going to the Dr. this afternoon. Did you know that if you google your symptoms for long enough, you will most certainly think that you are going to die. Probably die tomorrow, if google is right because people out there in Internet land try to scare people. I swear, Don't ever google anything if you don't feel good. Most likely a hangnail could turn into a flesh eating wound or something...

ALL the leaves are GONE! My husband is the GREATEST. There were SO many leaves, more than I have ever experienced in my whole life. And he was out there in the frigid conditions blowing, and raking and making our lawn pretty again.

Keep your fingers crossed that we close on the house before Thanksgiving, because I know that I sure am!!

Off to the Dr.

Leaves!!!

Remember when I said that I was sick of all the leaves?? Well I think that Dru might hate them more than I do :)

Frustrated

I have become increasingly frustrated with the process of buying a house. So frustrated in fact that I want to pull my hair out...Why do people not call back in a timely manner? If there is a work order, why does the landlord keep asking US about it. He owns the fucking house for gods sake. Maybe he should do something to fix it if he wants to have this done in a timely manner. Excuse my language, but I am mad...

I WAS going to start a detox today, and drink only water, eat healthy, and exercise. But I think that the key word in that sentence is "WAS"...It is too damn cold and windy to drag my lazy butt to the gym tonight. It will be DARK when I am done with work in two hours, and that is just depressing in itself. I think what I need is "a good friend and a glass of wine"...So good friends, if you phone rings and it is me, please answer. I will deal with the wine on my end :)

Hope that you are having a better Monday than I am...But I have gotten a lot of work done today so that is always a good thing!

Fall Back

"Fall Back, Spring Forward"...Simple way to remember how to properly change your clocks for time change? Well one would think. Now that this happened to fall on a holiday that usually involves drinking, I can see how some people might forget, or maybe not remember the saying...

But my parents assured me that they were not drinking when they decided to change their clocks forward an hour. My mom woke up this morning and her clock read "7:15am" and it was still dark outside. Now certainly she was mistaken, or reading the clock wrong...Nope, my parents changed all of their clocks the wrong way and my mom awoke at 5:15 am...Dorks!!!

I on the other hand remembered how to do this properly, and I hope that all of you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep :)

It is Football Sunday. That used to mean "Sunday funday", and today I think that were are going to bring back that saying for just one day. Now what is a girl to do when you don't drink beer? It is not that I don't like beer, because I do. But I am pretty certain that I am allergic to the substance. It makes my whole body hurt the day after, even if I have just one. Not so fun. So on this "Sunday Funday" you will probably find me sipping on wine like the classy lady that I am :)

PS Planning for Sunday Funday in Minnesota is a little different than in CA, when you can go to your local liquor store and purchase all the beer and booze necessary for a fun day on Sunday morning after you have had a proper breakfast and gotten over your Hangover from the night before.

In Minnesota, you must plan accordingly, if you do not have the proper beverages on hand, you must go to the store the night before by 10pm, because they try to make this "Holiday Funday" hard by prohibiting alcohol purchases on Sundays....Gezzzz don't they know that booze warms the body, and we live in the frozen Tundra???

Happy Sunday Funday!
