photoshopped dog pics

typical complaining with a side order of random.....

(this pic made me LMAO, even though i'm crabby and falling asleep at my desk.)

ok, here's where i complain:

bad insomnia last night. but so far sticking to the rules of my "trying to get a little healthy" post from yesterday. no beer, no fast food, drinking tons of boring water. for an entire 24 hours!

insomnia, sinus problems, overwhelmed at work. this is a reoccurring theme for sure. i am in high anxiety stress mode at work, reminding myself that "worst case scenario" is just getting fired. bad, but not the end of the world.

i am working on a software application that is based on, "physics modeling involving extensive computation." HUH??? i am so in over my big sleep deprived head. mojito is going to be working it it as well. he thinks i may be overreacting. or as he put it, "you do seem to get depressed when they screw up your starbucks order, so it could all be relative."

bastard!!! how dare he say such a thing??? i've never overreacted in my life!!! not once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (he he he....)

now for something random.....

we've discussed favorite sandwiches, popscicle flavors, etc... but what about the age old debate of mustard vs. ketchup? everyone comes down on a side. i am a total mustard girl.

i remember a heated (& ongoing) debate with my elementary school BFF. she loved the ketchup and would constantly try to one up me. "i like ketchup so much, i put it on everything!" it ended up with me showing off my mustard love and putting it in my chicken soup. i think that's when we both knew we'd taken it too far and agreed to disagree.

also:

i've talked about being tired of the "ironic mustache" trend with the hipster kids. now i am also tired of the ironic white man afro. it's played out like white folks talking like gansta rappers.

word to your mutha.....

1 week challenge (using my blog for something actually good for once!)

ok, i feel kinds of crappy lately. lots of work stress, money stress, car stress, dog stress, etc... and i've been having trouble sleeping, drinking beer too often, eating crappy food, etc... just sliding back into old/ bad habits. so now i want to pull myself out of these bad habits, slowly.

lisa ann sent me a cool website that has a ton of ways to track calories, ask questions, post results, etc... it's called spark people and it's totally free. so far i can't get into it, but i am using it in small ways, like getting ideas on how to make small changes towards a healthy lifestyle. they make a point of easing folks into changes. in the past i went on crazy, strict diets and always jumped right in. i think starting off with smaller changes, and going slow will work much better.

week one goals (july 25- august 1st):
1. research bikes (stationary and road bikes)
2. check out exercise classes available in the area, see what's out there
3. no alcohol for the entire 7 days (golden monkey can kiss my ass!)
4. no fast food for the entire 7 days
5. walk the dogs every day
6. drink at least 64 ounces of water a day (3-4 20 ounce bottles)

by tomorrow, i want to be able to list any exercise classes available in my area.

and of course i'm searching online for a cool pink road bike. something vintage looking, with a basket. that's how i wanna roll!!!!!!!!!! per amazon: bikes are generally broken down into three major categories: road and racing bikes, mountain bikes, comfort/cruiser bikes. funny, there's no mention of unicycles or tandem bikes.... i need to find something with glitter, a basket, and a banana seat!


yes!!!!!!!!!!! dan can do the pedalling and i'll sniff flowers. we just need to add a basket big enough for all 3 dogs....
