A day (or two or three) in the life of...

Well, looks like I'm going to become a landlord landlady. Weeeeee. Plans have changed and I may be keeping the house afterall and renting it out once I leave for Texas. Till then, if anyone wants to rent one of my rooms, I'd be the best landlord ever. I'd get a special 'supe' uniform and make you cocktails when you came home from work and drink them for you and... and... I'd close my door for my morning shaking around to music videos in skivvies (I think Jems hasn't yet recovered from the visuals of my dislocating my hips to 'hips don't lie' this past summer). So, there you have it. For now. My life just does it's thing and changes from day to day. When people ask me how I'm doin' and what's up, I just say an easy "oh you know, same 'ol, same 'ol", cuz I really just don't have the time or clarity of mind to detail all the goings ons in my life on a regular. Crazy, I tell ya, crazy. So, please feel free to...

I tried, I tried and I tried. And.... I lost. boo. Oh well. I'll get some pointing fingers saying "I told you so" and well, I will break those fingers because, yes, I was told so but I refused to really believe it, till I was faced with the harsh truth being delivered to me for the third time. Clussy no get no home. Ok, I'll get a home, just not this home and just not now. So, there you have it. As they say at the deli... "Next!". I'm feeling quite accepting of this fate that finally laid itself in my lap this afternoon (ok, after about 3 tears). So, now, I fix the house up (that means painting my beloved red bedroom back to a buyer friendly flat white and fixing up the living room cieling for good) and sell my South Riding Bordello once and for all. Texas.... here I come. yee haw.

Nothing particulary great about today except that: it's Friday my mood's through the roof great I'm shimmying at my desk plugged up to some upbeat music loving my outfit (it's the lil things like this that can really pull you out of a funk sometimes) hair cooperated from the get go drive into work was easy breezy getting work done the vibe is excellent today loving life and I ain't got a thing to complain about today (not anything I care to think of at least). Feliz Vierrrrrrrrnesss Ya'll! ps - no, haven't heard about refi yet but I'm supposed to hear from that sucka by noon'ish w/some answers. ((shrug)) No worries, not today.

I feel like I'm running on back up battery power today. Sloww.... not my usual energy levels and sleepy, though I think I slept plenty. Feels like I need toothpicks to pry my eyes open. Bossman thinks it's because I raced my heart so much last night and flooded my body w/endorphins and therefore left me zapped today. Well, I ate a big meal last night, a healthy (oatmeal) brekky today, coffee and water so I'm not deprived of nutrients. I think I'm having a delayed reaction to January 22nd blues, maybe? Not so blue though as just out of it. Like if someone tried to shake me out if it, I'd pull the whole fight or flight syndrome on them and jab jab cross, straight Tae Bo style and then go back to my despondent stare at my laptop. Does everyone else feel slow? No? Can someone please send me a bit of their extra brain cells that they may not be needing so much today because mine are depleted. I have sat at my desk like a trained monkey lint brushing myself. I realized...

Her name is Clussy. She grew up in Springfield, has one sibling, nibbles at sweets like a chipmunk, is addicted to toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning products and buys each new one she sees and takes pride in aligning them in her cabinets, burps like a 300 lb man and proudly enjoys letting one rip while at the top of a staircase then giggles and tries blaming it... on her cats, laughs louder than any dainty woman should but secretly takes pleasure in it, smells her 'pits 2 times a day while at her desk to make sure she really doesn't emit toxins throughout the day (just as she thought... she perspires like flowers... star lilies even. Don't contest me here, this is my prologue), idolizes Audrey Hepburn, is growing a tad neurotic about some organization issues in her more recent years and used to think and talk to herself in an English accent (still does occassionally out loud when she thinks she's alone). Dislikes: Yellow vehicle drivers and add to that, the new Vo...

Ok, I've decided not to fret over my financial and other woes for the day. Today is self proclaimed Cozy hump day! Cozy because I will latch onto a healthy denial that I'm not up against a financial tug 'o war and that all's well in the world. No war, no stress, no short comings, just bliss. Yes, bliss be mine... I'll worry about all that other shtuff tomorrow or even later tonight after I sweat my brains out on a bike w/an instructor barking orders at me. I love it when people tell me what to do. So, I'm going to get some pho'kin soup w/my Jemmy Pie today and enjoy the happier things in life. I love that pho'kin stuff! On a cold day like today, it's just... well, bliss. Goes well with my theme of the day, doesn't it? Mmmm.... So, it's looking like my move will be focused on either Dallas or Austin now. Yee haw! I was leaning more towards Texas anyways so it works out quite nicely that Cowboy's got a good opportunity there. He's act...

Not to be a complainer but, would somebody please, please, please , for the love of God, press the fast forward button and pull a sista out of limbo? I feel like I'm stuck in this one lil phase of my life that needs to just move on already. Don't get me wrong, I got lots to be thankful for. I'm relatively blessed really. My friends and family are wonderful. My health, stellar. My emotions, doing great actually. Love life, feeling solid (considering). I have food in my fridge (thank you Mama!!!). Job in tact (praying that stays solid but it's feeling pretty good and stable lately). Ok, point is, yeah, I have a lot of things going well in my life but I need to move past my financial ties to the ex before I can really move on. I feel like I'm running in place and someone's holding me back by my collar, like in those cartoons where their feet are spinning like tires and smoking but the person holding them back has one hand on their hip and an expression of ...

Yesterday morning, I awoke to a congested lil girl sitting on my bedside staring at me. Don't worry, this isn't a scene out of The Sixth Sense or anything, it was Tricia. Harms, Tricia and Mas all spent the night on Saturday night and Tricia always wakes me up by using her powers of burning observation and slowly pulls me out of sleep. I used to just sleepily wave my hands at her and tell her to get breakfast or put on some cartoons but she's getting to that age now that she actually just wants me up period. So, I woke up and she planted the seed that she wanted us all to go out to breakfast. Brilliant child! As soon as Harms and Mas woke up and were done chit chatting on my bed, we got up and went on our mission. Breakfast was of course awesome (mmm, pan-que-ques). Suddenly we look out the window and see lil snow flakes coming down and my Mom squeals "Oh Nooooooooooo, we need to go nowwwwwww". Harms laughs and looks at me. I shake my head because I know s...

So, last night I went to the gym and mistakenly thought there was a spinning class at 6:30 but to my chagrin, there was not. It wasn't until 7:30 so instead I hopped on a treadmill and got a great run in. I rotated w/some sprints, then slower jog, then stayed at about 9:00 min mile most of the time. I stayed on the treadmill for a lil over an hour and sweat my arse off, and burned almost 600 calories! Ah, but here's the fun detail. I wore a white ribbed tank top over a red running bra and I had actually sweat so much that the red running bra bled through the white tank but at key spots. Er, I guess I was cold or just, um, perky because my nips were pointing through and so red dye bled through as 2 polka dots (not too unlike wonky eyes) and the bottom of the bra bled through as a line well so it looked like a smiley stripe :-| . I had a red smiley face on my white tank top and didn't even realize it. Here I thought I was just getting eyed particularly more than usua...

After a very unmotivated December, January started pulling me out of my rut. With it getting darker earlier, it saps my will to go out running when I get home from work. I'm a very paranoid young lady (yes, young... and, yes... lady) and totally fear that someone's going to jump out of the bushes I'm running past and steal me and noone will know for days later. Plus, it's been on and off cold (now it's gonna be cold for good... at least after today) and I just don't enjoy running in the cold. Some people actually prefer it. I do not. I have 2 friends w/treadmills in their basements but I'd be staring at a wall and that would drive me insane for long amounts of time. Then I thought, well, I'll just get a treadmill but that involves 1)money I don't have and 2)another large item to move when I figure out my 'buh bye Northern VA' plan and put it in motion. So then my cousin was going to get me into this boxing club in Chantilly that would ...

I'm such a sap, such a suckah sometimes too but mostly a sap... This will probably seem more corny to most of you but I'm loving this song. It's so damned sweet. Laugh if you must. I'll just keep singing along... And uh, me likey that hot cowboy to the right. Uh huh, tha's right ((puerto rican neck swerve and snapping)) Suffice it to say, yee... haw. Cowboy Take Me Away by The Dixie Chicks: I said I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of bluebonnets In a blanket made of stars Oh it sounds good to me I said Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can Into the wild blue Set me free oh I pray Closer to heaven above and Closer to you, closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon And not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one For miles and miles Except for maybe you And your...

Well, at least Jems now has a digi cam so moments of hamming it up will consist of Jems much more. Yipee! Champagne plus no cable at Jeremy's plus a digital camera = fun fun fun. Jems clearly got botox injections for Christmas (you're welcome Jemmy Pie!) and I clearly got just a tad bit more translucent in the winter months but at least I got a manicure recently. Color me red! I had to post a nice pic to cheer me up because I had a couple frustrating moments to my day. Having a long distance relationship has moments of such impatience and frustrations at times. I know a couple people who are in one as well (MG and Busted made it work, right?) and well, at least they get to see eachother for a couple days at a time here and there. My situation doesn't allow that and I am on a countdown here (1.66 months/7.11 weeks/49.80 days/1,195.10 hours/71,706 minutes/4,302,359.86 seconds... either way you slice it) till we get to actually be in eachother's presence again and when we...

Ok, so, hypothetically speaking, you're a man, you date a chick and she's been wearing this lil doozy (invisible fanny panty) and you're all "damn, that is one fine ass, can't wait to get my hands on that" and she's all "nuh uhn sucka, not till we go out on more dates and I know I love you" but you're all "ok, I'll wait, so worth it...", then moment of truth comes and she takes off the invisible fanny panty and she's really just got a long back (I know nothing about this cuz we all know how curvy my hind quarters are, right?). What do you do? This thing is great. I should have put it on my amazon.com wishlist. I'll get around to that.

He (Mr. crocodile tears 'can I play with your camera? No? I'll just cry till my parents and everyone in the room looks at you like you're an evil child hater if you don't give it to me' to the left here) owes me a new camera, yet I told his Dad that it's ok and he can work it off when he's old enough to change my oil, mow my lawn and tell me I'm his favorite person in the whole wide world. And he bet me $1 he could fix what lil Noah did, yet he banged my camera up even more, slammed it against a table repeatedly, moved it over to a counter, banged more like a caveman, insisting he was fixing it and shrugged and left me with fucked up looking camera. I say someone owes me here and not just $1. Lesson, if someone bets you they can fix your camera and start throwing it around, scratching their head, slamming it on table and mumbling expletives, they're likely not on the right track at fixing it. Thanks Gibson! Please mail me check for $150. $1 for...

Haven't posted here in ages so I'm gonna give this another go and see if I can find the blogger in me again. Well, a moderate amount of ch.. ch.. changes occurring in my life for the better. I'll leave it at that for now. Don't like jinxing things. Ok, so, I'm not watching much TV at all. There's just not much that reels me in to sit and stare at for some reason... I mean, I have basic cable and that does not include the Spice channel so, you see, nothing to satisfy the degenerate in me... kidding.. kinda. ((uncomfortable laughter)) But, I did TIVO 'Dirt' and loved it. I love Courtney Cox Arquette and the way her character comes across to the audience. She's also easy on the eyes. I've loved the promo pics all over the net so between her striking appearance on those and the promo clips I was seeing, I knew this could be a winner for me. Ding ding ding! It is. Sweet! New Years Resolutions? Um... keep on keeping on with the fitness, eat bett...
