Snack Attack!

Okay, so I have been trying to get back into the workout routine for just a few days now.  In fact, I’m up writing this post becuase the gym is not open yet, but I WILL go again today.  Yesterday, I ate fast food three meals in a row.  I know it was the product of traveling, but oy!

Speaking of yesterday, I was dreading the drive up and back to Charlotte.  Now that it’s over, I am so glad that I went.  Aunt Jackie is so happy to have a place of her own, and really needed this experience!  She’s a new person from the one I saw last year.

Since I didn’t sleep in yesterday or today, I am debating skipping church tomorrow…I know that’s an odd thing to post here, but the issue that we have modified our services to accomodate ATL Gay Pride.  I’m just not sure that I’m how I feel about it, and I have no interest in going to pride, or showing up to church in a bright green t-shirt (or being the only one not in said t-shirt).  I don’t know.  I understand why “the older folks” need pride, to validate themselves as public citizens, but I just don’t get it…(for me).

For your enjoyment…a photo from my last trip to Arizona a few weeks back…wouldn’t it be nice not to have to mow?

Christmas in July…

Okay kids, here goes.  I’m not a sharer, and certainly not an emotion-based decision maker, as I tell myself and all my friends.  This makes me feel comfortable and in control.  Let’s be honest…

I picked the Christmas theme becuase that is truly my favorite season of the year, for the food, family fun, and laughter…and food of course…did I mention the food?  I know it’s an issue. 

Why am I blogging?  Well, I never got too sucked in to the Facebook craze.  In fact my password is known by a friend of mine and she often updates my profile there for me.  Sometimes I log in while I’m wondering around the country in an airport, but mostly it just sits idle, and I delete the update e-mails as they arrive.  I realize this does not answer the question I posed, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

So what’s new with me?  Well, let’s assume you are one of the friends I have struggled to keep up with for the past…oh say two years…due to being “busy with work” my newly eternal state (or so it seems). 

I have a townhouse here in the Atlanta metro, I have a really big daughter (Daisey – Black Great Dane), and most importantly Du and I are approaching three years.  It’s like a 50th in the straight world.  I travel a lot more for work than I ever used to, which has its merit.  I really enjoy the marketing/sales aspect of my position, and having to do it in person when you are out of town is definatley a good fit for me.  The icky part is being away from home…anyone want to remind me how my whole world was going to be nothing but business, busness, business, and I’d never get tied down to one place?  Or when I grow up I can’t wait to have a 401K and retire at age 45?  Yeah, things are changing…slowly…but changing.

I am officially back at the highest I have ever weight, though I feel like it doesn’t look as bad as it did when I was in 8th grade, and a bit shorter, it’s time for a change.  So, I have started watching the intake again, and working out.  I re-joined LA Fitness, and plan to use it this time.  Anyone seeing me with icecream needs to yell at me! 

This is my first blog attempt ever, so go easy on me.  Keep in touch as you wish.
