Sunny Sunday

So today was actually a sunny day! We went to the driving range this morning and hit some golf balls with Trisha and Kevin. It was nice. Currently, I'm in the process of doing laundry because I'm tired of looking at it. My house needs a serious overhaul this week. I wish I wasn't such a pack rat! The biggest problem is we have so much stuff but not enough storage. I think tomorrow I'll get up early, go for a walk, and then come home to straighten up the house. We definitely need it.

Can I just say how nice it is to know that I don't have to get up and go to work tomorrow though? That I can get up to do what I want to do. The only thing I really have to do tomorrow is go to the bank and deposit my paycheck. But overall, I'm pretty free. I think I'm going to take the rest of the night and lay in bed watching television and reading a book. I can only do laundry as fast as it takes to wash and dry so my initial goal of getting it all done today is pretty much out the window. I guess I'll have to settle for getting it done sometime this week.

Why oh why

Why is it when I'm on vacation I can't sleep or I am sick? Luckily, the case is I can't sleep. I have been up since about 5:45 am and just could not fall back to sleep. So, I was proactive and did some laundry and played with the kittens. Then I watched 2 episodes of Merlin and had my morning coffee. I'll probably work out in a little bit before I take a shower to make it at least 2 days in a row. Dana and I went for a 5 1/2 mile walk yesterday, just missing the torrential downpour and severe thunderstorm!

Well, I should go fold some laundry......

Made good

So I went rollerblading today..... not a bad way to start..... I just got some "Sweatin to the Oldies" DVDs.... and silly as Richard Simmons is those tapes kick my ass.... so I figured I'd get the DVDs since the VHS is in the bedroom and there is no room there... Hopefully this will be the kind of thing that will motivate me to workout more... I like upbeat stuff like that. I also got my new sneakers today :) The same ones as Dana... so hopefully she and I will get together to run/jog/walk or whatever we do.......

Tomorrow is the last day of school! As much as I love my students I am ready for a break!

Well I'm going to go watch the True Blood for this week :)

And so...

We didn't get to go walking/jogging yesterday but I did play softball last night and got some good exercise. We're planning on going Saturday or sometime next week. Speaking of next week, school is done on Thursday! I just can't believe it. I really am looking forward to some down time.

So I'm sitting here at my desk and of course the mom cat that I'm taking care of right now decides to set up her kitten food shop right underneath my feet. Her and 3 of the babies. Then another baby is eating out of the food dish while the two boys are fast asleep. But I'm not complaining... I love being a foster cat mommy.

Today Jon and I went to Walmart and I bought a cardio exercise Wii game that is compatible with the Wii Fit board... we'll see how that goes.

Well I should get to bed...tomorrow is the sixth grade moving up ceremony and I have to get up early to help with some stuff....

Keeping up with myself

Only 9 more days till the school year is over. Time sure does fly. Just celebrated my 25th birthday last week. Quarter of a century, I cannot believe again how fast time goes. Today is my grandpa's 74th birthday.

I'm sitting here at my computer, talking to Dana and watching the "little miracles" (kittens). Its just amazing how much they have grown since I found them and their mother. They're one month old today and its amazing to me how big they have gotten and how they look more and more like cats everyday. They're finally allowed out of the box today. We set up some boundaries (though I am sure they will not last). But it truly is rewarding knowing that they have hopes for a life because I helped them, cared for them, and took them in when they were left to be outside. I just hope to find good homes for them as well as for the mom!

So tomorrow starts my "first" day of getting my shit together to get into shape and everything else in order. I never thought at 25 I would be looking at the mirror and hoping that its not too late to change what I'm seeing. I mean, I know it isn't, but motivationally I'm in a tough spot! I just hope that Dana helps kick my ass since she knows what a procrastinator I am and that I can keep it up in the summer when I know I'm not going to want to. But I really want to tone up by the time I go to Florida.

I hope that the motivation can continue..................
