Look what happened now...
Ready, Set, Jet!

I'm so going to miss the blooming flowers. But I'm not going to miss the cold and the thought of snow makes me glad I'm packing. I was in England for Dec and Jan of last year and it was enough to last me for a good bit. #NotAFanOfTheWinter It's all about priorities. You wanna travel more? Then stop buying all that unnecessary crap and just do it!
See you at the airport- Mine was productive (which means not FUN at all.) We made another attempt at clearing the downed tree in my back yard. This was a HUGE Pecan tree that just fell over one day. There wasn't any wind and it doesn't look dead. WTF? AND It took out my koi pond and the trampoline. But it could have taken out the upstairs of my house it was that BIG! So I'm lucky, I guess?? My gardner has been working on it for over a month. But between bad weather and the wood being so hard he has been replacing chains on the chain saw nonstop and its just been one thing after another. Now the winter grass is really growing & it all needs to be mowed too. UGG BIG MESS! He is having a hard time finding anyone to work with him or to help as well. (Most men are working in the oil field now.) I help some if I'm not working too, but our schedules rarely mesh and I don't like him attempt it alone. About 2 weeks ago I was at the office and called me to tell me he FELL WHILE CUTTING a limb and asked if he could quit for the rest of the week! OMG! Thank goodness he wasn't hurt! We did get MOST of it done and the yard is mowed and edged. I would like to start on the flowerbeds, but its still too early and we are both worn out. #HappySaturday I had a date but called him and cancelled, I was just too tired. #FML He said he understood, but I don't know. Oh well, he should just be lucky I didn't ask him to help with the damn tree. So anyway, I stayed home the rest of Saturday and managed/made myself pack some more. I made a dent in it anyway. Its coming to the part where I have to really start living out of a suitcase because everything is packed, WTF?! You know, the "what do you really need day-to-day?" Part and the "why do I have so much extra crap?" stage. I went through quit a few emotions, from sad to excited as I packed my crap up. I figured I could use the break after Saturday. From there we went to the state park to Hike/run the trails. But after about 5 minutes it started to rain and the temp began to drop. I can run in the rain or in the cold, but just not BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Plus I wasn't dressed for it. I didn't think the front was due in till night time. The Temp continued to drop and I went home to build a fire. All motivation for work gone. So that actually was a great end to the weekend. #WIN
Except now I can't sleep. #Fail See you at the airport- Hey, How are things? I hope your weekend is going well. The weather here is nice. Not too warm or too cold and today we had fog. One of my friends is always asking me to run with him on the trails. I do sometimes, but he is actually much more hardcore than I am. #Truth Also he always raves about running early in the morning in the fog. :o This morning I skipped yoga & took him up on a "fog run". I should note than we both know this area/trail really well and also its not open to anything but foot traffic. It is still dangerous, but not like running in the fog down the street, WTF?! You understand? So if you decide to do this, be careful! He claims that running in the fog is a great way to jump start your workout. If you feel like you are in a rut or like you have hit a It's time to do something different and shake things up some. We had fun and I think I finished in record time, because it was sooooo creepy. #Truth It was actually really cool. We stayed together and had fun. But also we didn't linger and were careful.
I didn't actually freak out, but I did feel like something was moving in the brush along the trail a couple of times. I really think (hope) it was a skunk or a armadillo. I don't think I would want to do this everyday, but it was ok for a change. Now I'm off to a lunch date. :D Catch you later- Hey, How are things? It was a really, really good day. Both productive and happy. #WIN I woke up early to warmer south Texas weather. Meaning not too cold, put on a light jacket and only pretend its winter, lol. No snow, no ice, just blue - sunny skies. Yeahhhh.. So off I went for yoga. I always, ALWAYS feel better after. I don't always make time to go to class or practice like I should, but always feel great when I can fit it in. It's funny when life gets busy is when you need it most, but can't (or at least I can't) justify taking the time to fit in a session. #FML After that I was feeling all relaxed and zen. Had a quick shower & headed to office for another round of meetings. Where I was surprised with this lovely orchid, Its so PRETTY! I just love the colors. Finally finished up and was free to take a late lunch with an old friend. I think it was after 3:00 before I could get away...But was still calm from a.m. yoga. #Zen Audrey and I grabbed take out, returned to my office & proceeded to laugh and visit the rest of the afternoon.. We had the best time. :D Audrey's been talking about the last sandwich we ate there for months now, lolol So whenever she is in town we always try to eat there. They were open, but no one was home (?) You have to call a cell # and they will open up and make your food. So its kinda different..But the sandwiches are Super good! Look at all those Veggies! YUMMMS :) + Its so nice hanging out with old friends. We were talking about everything under the sun. After I took the photo of the sandwich the conversation shifted to blogging and writing in general. I think she might start blogging now, too. She mentioned someone sent her a blog link to a certain house/B & B (The Belle Oaks, remb I posted it here?) and we discussed. She had no idea I wrote it. Too funny! #SmallWorld Now I spam one more Orchid picture- Happy Chinese New Year! Hope you have a year of great health, wealth and luck.
May the horse be with you! Hey! That was my recipe for the week err, month I mean Day. Super Simple! 1st -cut up a hand full of ripe strawberries, add enough low fat Vanilla Soy Milk (I used store brand, WTF? Cheap much?) to cover and blend. And there you go, super easy and tastes great! Especially after a hike, work out, or even just vegging on the couch. Not that I have been vegging on the couch watching movie or anything… (Did you see Dracula last night??) BUSTED!
Err ok, anyway, there is no excuse for not getting in some fresh, healthy fruit. This is so simple & quick! Also thats some wild animal, I was minding my own business when he attacked and asked for movies, really. :o I have to run now, (FOR REAL). Catch you later- I hope your day is going well. This was from the weekend, but I'm about to go again. #Exercise Ps I added some pictures from the trail below. 🚳 Hey!
How is your weekend? I've been working (and whining about it) a lot this past week. Now the weather has turned off warm again (Can I get a hallelujah?) and the sun is shinning like it's spring, WTF?! I really would like to just crawl back into bed and sleep until Monday. BUT yes I said BUT, I’m not going to. I’m going for a run instead. Not because I really WANT to, but because I know I NEED to. I need to get outside, I need to move and run. I need to blow off some steam and I need the exercise. I choose to make this a better year. I choose to be fit. I choose to eat better. It's really up to us, in the end. You know? We can choose what we really want and do it or do whats easy. Its up to you. You can choose to make this year better than the last one or not. Hope your weekend is going well. I'm still working... But I did take time to fit in a 2 mile walk this morning. It was a bit cooler, can't wait for winter! I found these on line and totally agree. They reminded me of something I hear from my BFF's all the time. See I have 2 friends that are personal trainers and another that is a nurse all 3 are in great shape. They are asked over and over by random people how they do it & what can average fat ass person do to get in shape? * ___ * But they always include "What's the best protein shake and what diet pills work the best?" Because they somehow think that's how people have great abs or awesome arms. WTF?! This is actually what one of the trainers said the other day to our waitress, (we met for coffee. Sorry no pictures, I totally forgot I owned a camera. #Fail at blogging, again.) "If you want to feel & look better start exercising now. Next be aware of the crap you are putting in your body and stop making excuses. No pills or shakes needed, just make a commitment and do it. What are you waiting for? There is no better time to start than right now." :D Oh and if I can get up early to walk and work-out so can you, right? Life's too short to wait. Suck it up and get moving.. See you at the airport- |
