Random

One week from today I start the new job. I have been communicating via email with my new boss and he seems like an easy-going guy so that helps. I have a 4 day weekend coming up and I am really looking forward to using that time to relax, reflect and reorganize my closet! Actually, there shouldn't be a 're' on there because I still haven't actually organized it since I moved into the house, but the other words started with r so there you go.

I am seriously enjoying the veggies I have added (or increased) to my diet. Lucky for me, I like a wide variety so I am easy to please. Just give me a lil salt and pepper...tomorrow I'm hittin the sauce...soy of course. I got the Asian medley! I have also been increasing the exercise and it's amazing, but in less than a week I am already seeing a difference on the scale. A little bit really goes a long way.

In the way of exercise, I jogged yesterday. I am still in the "trying it out" phase, but who knows, I might try to get in a little 5k here and there. I think having something to work toward always makes me work harder, so we'll see.

In other news, Britney Spears has checked herself out of rehab for the 2nd time in a week. It's sad and I can't stop reading about it. What a train wreck.

Furthermore, in the land of entertainment, Brothers and Sisters is officially my new favorite show. I love all things Sally Fields and she is excellent playing Mrs. Walker. And among others, Calista Flockhart and Rob Lowe are great. It's a good Sunday night wind down show. And that's all I have to say about it right now.

It is unseasonably warm this week and even though I should be fretting about global warming, I am just really loving the 66 degree afternoons. Sorry. I will continue to recycle though and I want to read this book. Anyone know anything about it? I found an old notebook and I had written myself a note that I wanted to read it. Of course I never did, so now I can't remember why! I figure it will still interest me, so here's hoping.

I think that's about it for this afternoon. Have a great day!

You Are A Martini

You are the kind of drinker who appreciates a nice hard drink. And for you, only quality alcohol. You don't waste your time on the cheap stuff. Obviously, you're usually found with a martini in your hand. But sometimes you mix it up with a gin and tonic. And you'd never, ever consider one of those flavored martinis. They're hardly a drink!

What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

Yes it IS Monday indeed...

My LAST Monday at the current job. woo woo! It's a very quiet day today because both my boss and my replacement are out sick. But the day is passing along quite smoothly so that's cool.

This weekend was pretty much spent trying to get NOT sick. I slept and slept. It was a good thing.
Jerry and I have decided to postpone the DC trip. I was (and still am) really looking forward to it, but since we are waiting, hopefully we can go for longer and see more stuff. MORE MORE MORE.

Today is also day one of my 9-a-day challenge. It's a challenge I gave myself, indirectly, through the government's suggestion. Recently, the five-a-day recommendation of fruit/veggie servings was increased to NINE. After a period of disbelief, I decided to try it. I mean, I could easily eat 9 Twinkies in a day...why not carrots?? Who knows, maybe I will even get healthier. I also started taking my multi-vitamin again...it was pushed to the back of the cabinet for too long. Now it rests in a place of honor right next to the toaster oven.

Boring, I know. I promise one day I will write something of worth. For now, I leave you with this
