.notes from an old married lady.

its Wednesday...

I don't like saying "hump" day.
maybe I'm just immature like that.
ewwww.

and in the very next sentence...

maybe I'm getting old (but perpetually immature) but I am just LOVING getting a full 8 or 9 hours of sleep lately.



I do my little wash-face-brush-teeth thing, I get all cozy with a wheat bag... the boss and I cuddle in. and after a couple of melatonin's...

im out!


I really appreciate this more than some people. I have had trouble with sleep most of my life, I used to sit up all night playing my keyboard with my headphones on, reading, thinking. anything but sleep.

its like your never really asleep
and never really awake.

anyways, that's not the case now.

and I dig that.

--------

Things have been relatively stable in my life lately.

sort of...calm?

I am content with my little family consisting of ME, Big T, and the BOSS-MAN.



Im boring today.

this post was boring.

and I apologise... I was reading it back and I was like UGH.

(I would have fallen asleep of I hadent had an amazing 8 hours last night)

wow.

I guess I really am getting old.

Creep.

GOOD MORNING!



Well, I made it through Monday... on to Tuesday! Today is wonderful for a few reasons...

1. Its not Monday
2. its Biggest Loser night!
3. ...UHM...

okay for a couple of reasons...

Tuesday is okay.

--------------

So last night I was going through an old journal. im talking ooold. and I came across this:



now its sideways, but it says:

WHY ARE GUYS SO DUMB? I HAVE NEVER MET A SENSIBLE BOY IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!

Grrr...

Rachel.

----------------

How angry is THAT??

only a small glimpse into the boy crazy (insane) 14 year old I was, that may explain just a little the crazy insane 24 year old that I am.

Good thing I did end up meeting a sensible boy.

and we got MARRIED!



(and good thing he didnt see just how un-sensible I was)

Yup, Tuesday is good.

if you visit today, make sure you fill out my poll, how do I know you??

I love blogs, I like feeling like I know people.
like I can mourn and laugh with them.
I saw one of my sisters friends when we went to visit my family this weekend. I read her blog A LOT...

Does that make me a creep?

(creeper)

anyways, I should have been like, HEY! omg how is this and that and I know everything about your life! you are amazing!

but uhm. I have never actually had a conversation with her.

Hilarious.

im not ashamed.

okay, maybe a little.

people intrigue me.

I follow blogs of people in other countries.

try it sometime. surf around and gte to know people you would otherwise never have had touch your life. thier stories and experiences could be just what you need to connect to.

try it!

CREEP!

.WEAK.ENDS.

YAAAAY...Monday...



could you sense the sarcasm?

NO...really, you can?

At least we had a good weekend...

We took tha BOSS to his favorite place in the WORLD



Grandma Campbells house!!

for a birthday :)

Happy belated Superbowl Birthday to my fabulous Mother-In-Law!

we went for an AMAZING dinner, then my little sis in law and I drove around to pick up a cake (and of course some snacks for the SUPERBOWL... and maybe some Tim Hortons - *Blush*)


While in Calgary...Obviously. I ate like crap.

I did manage to find one silver lining to all this crappi-ness...

Oh yes.

it is.

Bubbleggum MILK!

Probably the best taking thing that comes from a... a bubblegum cow?




the other best part of my weekend was going home to see my mom, I had the chance to go through some of my "memory Boxes" to see what I could throw away (I have A LOT of stuff...hoarders much?)

one of the fun things I did find was this photo of me that was drawn in London when we went to see my mums family when I was (obviously) much younger


cuuuute eh?

I also gathered some old pictures to scan and show on another day/another post :)

all in all it was a good/full weekend.

I guess you cant complain too much about a monday when you had such a busy awesome weekend

phht.

ya right.

Muffin Top.and. Funky Funk

This morning I went out of my way to help myself to a chocolate chip
muffin



and a chai latte.



FULL FAT. (gimmie gimmie gimmie)

Its Thursday, nothing special.

Its past the middle of the week (plus)

but STILL not Friday (minus)

so that equals.

nothing?

im having one of those weeks where im having trouble staying focused on things. focused on the good things.

Its a funk.

and not like... a funk funk... like this.

(funky eh?)

I just came across this :




Hilarious.

so what can I change to get out of this funky funk??

The hardest part is that I know that if i go to the gym that I will feel better, but funky funks HATE the gym. Funky funks like warm baths and 9pm bedtimes... and whole boxes of kraft dinner. (I did it. Judge away)

Enter T:
He plans on forcing me to go... good and bad (a Thursday trend?)

I will go (good)

but I will not be happy about it (bad)

does that leave me with nothing?

no, I guess it will take me one step towards not getting more muffin top from this muffin I just ate (which is not sitting well)

Its nice to know people read my blog, even tho I dropped off the face of the earth for a while.

sorry about the funky funk talk... (and not the afro kind)

Fat Frustration

SMILE.




Its warm outside today.
(warm bieng 0c)

how refreshing.

But seriously.

it makes me happy to see blue sky from my window.

Weight Watchers is hard for me.

its hard to not see results very quickly.

I would like to lose 20 pounds.

and keep it off.

now i know... I know that you need to lose weight slowly to keep it off...
but patience isnt a strong suit of mine.
its like a cycle...

I get fat, start Weight watchers, get discouraged, eat... get more fat.

FML - And okay, that is a little bit of an exageration of how dramatic it is. im not oficcially overweight, my husband loves my body. but I miss bieng thin and carefree about how I look.

I miss how I felt when I was training for my marathon. but now when I try to run more that 20 minutes my knees and hips ache... Its like im one hundred years old.

its a battle.

I like the elliptical... I play basketball, I play with my dog... I put in the effort, and im not losing a pound.

gah. frustrated.

anyways. sorry. maybe im just cranky because im eating zero point WW soup and a diet coke for lunch.

yuck.

These are a few of my favorite things!!

Lunch Break!

I have an hour, why not blog... now what to blog about??

how about some of my favorite things right now.

Drinkable 80 cal yogurt! yum.


and one point!

my second favorite thing right now is my planner.




im trying to be very dilligent about my planner. on one side you can see I have my motivational pic of the week, the other side has a very VERY tough bottom-half work out that I did for the first time last night... (ouch.)

BIGGEST LOSER!


Its just such a feel-good cheesy motivational show! im obsessed!

well, after all that thinking...lunch is over!

now back to work!

Today I have a serious case of the

MONDAYS

Like, can anything else go wrong?? (knock on wood)

...Probably.

to start it all of... When we left this morning it was 7am... and -32 outside. as I sit on the train a man gets my attention and tells me there is something DRIPPING out of my bag.

sure enough there is a small puddle beside me and I open my bag to find my drinkable yogurt all over EVERYTHING. Great. to top it all of I was on the train. SO I sat there with a drinkable yogurt with a hole in the top and a dripping bag for 20 more minutes untill I got to my stop.

once again out in the freezing cold.

I got to work , cleaned out my bag, and with a heavy sigh walked towards my office. I reached to my swipe card to get into the locked section of my office and

Boom.

there goes the travel mug I had in my hand.

full of Coffee.

and it went EVERYWHERE.

Floor
Wall
ME.

exhasperated I opened the door, leaving my mug on the floor and turned into the kitchen to put my things down.

who was there?

My boss.

hmmm, I THINK I might have looked a little exhasperated...

I sighed...again and got some papertowels to go clean up my mess.

a lady stopped me on my way to my office and passed me my fork... it must have fallen when I dropped my mug.

WOW.

all that before 8AM

and I know im being whiney.

hey, its my blog.

I count my blessings when I want to.

and count my burdens when I want

(insert ANOTHER sorrowfull sigh*)

But the good news is that its another week...

and it IS only Monday...

Right?
