My Random Thoughts

because i found a broken plugin and I don’t have the time to deal with it right now, in fact its time for me to go to bed to start this all over again tomorrow. So much for getting a workout in.

……with a pair of pants?  I think I have. I ordered a pair of pants from Talbots a couple of weeks ago. I put them on this morning - WOW - I loved how they looked, I loved how they felt, it was just perfect! So for a couple of hours I was in love with my pants. 

It has been a long day. I FINALLY got home from work at 9:30pm. LONG LONG day. I did get to catch the last 20 minutes of the bachelor, which was the most important anyway. He chose Sarah, but didn’t ask her to marry him. He gave her a ring on a necklace. CHEESY.

Tomorrow we have our showing for this week - between 10-12. Glad I’m going to be here. Hopefully Jeff will pick up the house a little bit. Won’t have candles burning, won’t have any atmosphere, and I really don’t give a damn. I can hear it now, no feedback, or they don’t like the floor plan, the feng shui is off, they don’t like the pool, there are weeds in the yard, the landscaping is off, they don’t like the plants…..oh what else can I come up with, the bathrooms need to be updated, the kitchen is light, and they want it dark. The carpet and paint aren’t done so…….

And you know what else, I’m not even going to ask Dana how it went. That is just how much I don’t care anymore. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

Where do these weeks go? So, since the beginning of the year I’ve successfully managed to gain 14lbs. Just how the hell does that happen?  And only within the last week I’ve gained 6 of those. I am more than a little discouraged by that. Granted, if I read back over the last 8 weeks while I haven’t worked out like I should, i haven’t been eating like a horse. I guess this is what I needed to kick my butt in gear. I guess it really needs to be in the forefront of my mind. So now it is.

Creatively I haven’t done a damn thing this week. I brought my notebook so I can say something positive in week 9. I do keep blogging and I do keep trying to change the look and feel of it, so that’s a little something. I haven’t worked on my photos either, but I am still reading my photoshop book. I’ll probably start working on those more next week. Right now I feel like I’m in a slump that I need to shake off.

This was the 2nd full week of no showings. SIGH - and Dana tells me that nothing comparable has sold in six months - bigger sigh. That’s pretty depressing as well. While I’ve mentally accepted that it’s going to take as long as it’s going to take, it’s still depressing. Ah well, time to stop holding my breath and get back to living again. I have kinda put myself on hold and that’s not good. I think I’m going to look for a writing class or a photography class and start getting involved again. And hope that shakes something loose.

My painter still hasn’t started, but that’s another story all together.

YAY - Love Clean Sweep!  I makes me feel better because my house isn’t that messy! YAY I’m going to do some cleaning and purging today myself. It’s a rainy day and I’m not going to be doing any outside work.

Another lazy weekend. Jeff will be wanting to have lunch soon - I think I’m going to send him out himself if he can’t find something in the house.

Now, today’s clean sweep - too funny. This guy thinks he needs more clothes because he’s above is wife. yeah right - I don’t think so. Speaking of which, I need to order some sweaters from Lands End and do some laundry.  Maybe I don’t have such a lazy Saturday…..

I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am that today is Friday. What a week. I leave Sunday for Chicago, back on Wednesday, assuming I can get a seat. I made the reservations, they took my money - now lets see if they give me a seat or tell me good luck, come back tomorrow.  I’ll have to spend some time with my project plan this weekend. I also have to find a pair of shoes that I can walk in. My toe still hurts and is still swollen. When I was in Houston I almost couldn’t walk!

In spite of the last minute travel and stress - I really like my job. I’m going on 7 months and it feels like just yesterday. It was a good move for me.

I think I’m going to play with my photos tonight - maybe burn some back up CD’s and try to get some data off of my hard drive. I’ve managed to fill up the hard drive on my computer and I’m quickly working on my external one. I got another 250gig external at Sam’s Club tonight. I need to install that and make sure it works. I have so much stuff hanging off of that poor computer.

I think I’m also going to do some cleaning and sorting tomorrow. Jeff wants to sleep in and it’s going to rain, so it sounds like a good rainy day thing to do. That and working out are the only things I have to do. Probably watch Clean Sweep. Love Clean Sweep.

 

I’m glad tomorrow is Friday. It’s been a long week. Work is stressful this week. I may have to go to Chicago next week. Then I’m doing training in Orlando in mid-march. Getting into a phase of more active travel. I’ve been liking the once of month travel.

Went to the gym tonight - that was good. I needed the workout.

My realtor tells me that the market is slow and that nothings been moving for six months. So that puts it about hurricane season that things stopped. If it stops each hurricane season, we’ll never sell the house. Guess we’d better get used to living in Florida .

Went to the gym tonight (yay me). My trainer was working the desk today - she’s so cute. 30 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Good workout. Tomorrow I’m going to do weights. I really need to concentrate on my diet and fitness routine. I’ve been reading to many things and I’m not getting any younger. That is just the scariest thing - I can’t believe how the years have gone. I still feel 21.

 

Another week, another Monday. I don’t have any meetings until noon - YAY. I think I can get some work done. BUt am I doing anything? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - I better get my butt in gear and start making my list.

Ok - so I am making more changes to my blog and my website, but I’m trying to tie everything together, so I have a theme. I may not get there, but I’m going to try.

I’m watching the Daytona 500. It’s looking very misty at Daytona. I don’t know what is up with that - it’s beautiful here today. I was able to get my dreamweaver software, now I need to start playing with my website again. I am learning stuff and having fun, so I guess that’s really the point.

Even though it’s a lazy sunday, i have a few things to do, grocery shopping being the big one. I hate grocery shopping. I don’t know why I hate it so much. Maybe because I don’t have a cool grocery store to shop in? Because the stuff in the store sucks? I think I may go to the grocery store up near PGA or Wellington. It seems that those two stores are a little snazzier than mine or the one on Orange. Different layout, I don’t know if the food choices are any different or not.

Harry and Donna came down for breakfast yesterday - Donna is so cool. I wish we lived closer so I could hang out with them more. I really enjoyed her company.

I think I need to clean up my webserver. I have files and such in all sorts of directories. Cleaning is my life it seems. Back to the race
