Our Blind Side

As my hubby and I were relaxing in bed the other night....I had Miss Bridget Jones asleep in my arms, when I suddenly had the urge to use the bathroom. Bridget refused to move, causing me to maneuver around her and crawl over her, as I was doing this I looked at her and said, "You used to live in a kennel, they had to shave you before you left and now look at you!"

Then as I was making my way the the bathroom I looked at Buford, who was also asleep on the bed and said, "And you....you were in prison (AKA Humane Society)."

Then I looked at Bailey who is fully aware that she was chosen and said, "Yep...you were the only one we totally planned." And then I looked at my hubby and said, "Hey...we are like The Blind Side, only with dogs."

Hubby's response? "God Love You..."

ZUMBA-Take One!

I had my first ZUMBA class today.

Number one...I was humbled instantly.
Number two...it is painfully clear that I have no sexual energy, especially in my general hip area.
Number three....I have no rhythm, none whatsoever!

Mistake of the Day

Mistake of the day: Ramping up the fiber in my diet by eating:

• Fiber One Cereal (with extra fiber)
• munching on a apple w/PB for a snack

The problem came about during my 11:50 step class today when the fiber kicked in and I was bloated and had to pass gas. Luckily everyone survived the class and was not blown away by my vapors...but it was closer than everyone really knew.

Whale Watchers

Good Morning All! Happy Fresh Monday Morning! I am tackling Weight Watchers, I am going to start counting my points today! I lovingly call Weight Watchers, Whale Watchers....cause that is what it feels like to me...
So today it starts....I have only so many points today...I need to use them wisely....and I have already wasted...no used six points on a bagel....and 2 points on a granola bar...and I AM STARVING! And...It's only 8:38.....not looking good captain!

New BFF

I have been fortunate enough to have the exact same BFF for the past 24 years...We can sit in silence and speak volumes, we can finish each others thoughts, know each others fears without having to verbalize it. And as much as I love and cherish my husband, he still doesn't know me as well as she does. But....she is risking loosing me...to my new friend Leah... Let me tell you a little more about Leah....

• She is in her twenties
• She works at Wal-greens
• She has been trying to loose weight, especially in her abs area.
• She had been running 6 miles a day, but then her feet began to hurt, she thinks it's because she needs inserts in her tennies.
• She has an awesome metabolism...but just needs to jump start it.
• She likes to look at fashion mags as she stands at the counter at Wal-greens...she finds that it can both be inspirational, as well as depressing...
• Wait...she really likes my nail polish!!!

I learned all this information about Leah in approximately 3 minutes while checking out with my issue of Fitness mag and a bottle of deep purple nail polish. I figure with all this information Leah gave me, we are fast on our way to becoming instand BFF's.

Barking up the Wrong Tree

My hubby just called me at work to tell me that due to my cold, my "barking," sounded horrible last night. He quickly corrected himself and said...I didn't mean to say that, I meant "coughing."

He has obviously got to find a job soon, as he is spending entirely TOO much time with our dogs....ha! ha!

Ironic

How is it that I was brave enough to get the flu shot last Wednesday and now....I HAVE A COLD.....Grrr....
