EVIL SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Really People! Really!

With all this snow as of late it has given me some time to think about people and their ways of so how and in some way getting into your " Business" and their maturity level. Now I am not going to toot my own horn and sit here and say that I am not guilty of the immaturity level. Because in reality we all are guilty of it.

Now for example numero uno. For the past 4 years of living in NYC I have had the same lady doing my taxes and usely I give them to her and in 2 weeks she has them done and 2 weeks from there I get my money back. Well I sent her everything and it was received by her on January 24th. I kept in touch with her and she stated that she would have an answer for me in about a week. So I contacted her back in a week on the status and she stated I should have an answer for me by the evening time.. Well that evening came and went and so I texted messaged her in the morning and received no response back from her. and I continued to do so up until February 24th when I finally emailed her and was like Please Send me my information back to me ASAP. She responded back that she would place them in the mail the following evening... Well here it is March 3rd and I still don't have them..... Let me try to make you understand. This lady in the past has ALWAYS been amazing on my tax's making sure I get all the money I am due back, Due back... I claim everything, Gas, Doctor Bills, Medication, Cell Phone Bill, Clothing, and Car Repairs.... in which by law is 100% Okay... Now I have people questioning why I didn't go to this person that all of a sudden I have something against that person.. REALLY PEOPLE, REALLY! Get your head out of your ass.... I have nothing against that other person. I went with the person that I have trusted with my taxes the last 4 years to continue to do so.. So get off your high horse and SHUT UP!.... To top that off they run off to others and try to throw me under the bus..One thing I can't stand is just that.. As a Married couple we have to learn how to make mistakes and learn from them.. I've learned from this time that I will NOT be using this said individual and I will be making an appointment with another person and sitting down with them going over everything with them and not leaving until they are done.. and, No I wont be using the person you want me to and NO it has nothing to do with who they are.. So, Stop with the guilt trip.

Number Two - I mean we have all done it... Talked Crap on someone to make ourselves or a friend feel better about themselves.. But I've always in my heart tried to not do that because I didn't and still don't like to be judged by people. Even though life doesn't always mean people don't judge you because they do for everything. But I'm honestly just sick of it. If you don't know someone and all you know is pictures Seriously Shut your mouth you have no clout on a person. If you don't know them then don't judge because honestly that person is actually pretty nice and a positive person. A person with dreams and aspirations and a pretty cool person. And on another note in this same category. Don't say someone isn't something when you yourself doesn't do what they do... Just because someone told you something because they think they are gods gift to said asset doesn't mean they know what the hell they are talking about, Make your own call is all I am saying. Stop Knocking people down to make yourself feel better because out of all honesty it makes you look like a bad person.

Number three - STOP WITH THE GOD DAMN NEGATIVITY!!!!! I'm seriously Over it. Life really isn't that bad... Make something of your life instead of worrying about Every little detail around you. You only live once and there is so much in life to live for.

Last but not least... I hate to say it, " I TOLD YOU SO " I'm uselly a good judge of character of people and when I say someones got an alternative motive.. Do me a favor, and just listen to me. And don't tell me you are not gunna catch feelings cus you know you are.... I wasn't born yesterday....

I'm truly sorry for venting on this thing but I need to let it out and I know noone reads this thing so it's my little personal pillow to cry in per say! -haha- But if you read it Cheers... But understand this doesn't particularly point a finger at anyone. just things that have been bothering me with a number of people...... people at work to people involved in my life.. I just need a mental break from people I think. -ha-

DAY 2 - I HATE JILLIAN MICHAELS!

So, I started Day one of the work out portion. I lasted 20 of the 30 mins that were on the DVD. I think I got frustrated because I didn't have weights  and I think I am going to need a mat because my area rug doesn't do it in the living room, and I just really need to get those. I'll probably do that this weekend. I can understand my friends hate for Jillian and the fact that you just want to punch her in her face as she ask for just 4 more... Even without the weights I felt it in my Ass, Arms, and Tush. But in all reality it's not a bad video.. But all the Up and downs... Why can't we just do all the same thing at once... Due the stuff that requires you to stay on the floor on the floor and standing up standing up.. But NOOOOO that's not what is good for you. -haha-. But I feel it. I have determination, I swear! The one thing that disappointed me a little was myself I should have pushed more but I was just dead. I just woke up and went straight for it no going in grabbing a cup of tea.. Just went for it...  The other thing that's under my skin is my whole life growing up I was fully into sports.. I played Year Round Soccer, Basketball, Football, skied, and Swimming. I dunno what happen.. I think I blame it on my mom. She was a little psycho about sports. But it kept me out of trouble. I got lazy in college I played Soccer and Rugby but after a year I got the idea in my head that, 'hey, mom's not around to make me go, so I don't have too!' I've totally let myself go! I mean I lost a ton of weight when I lived in SD but all I ate was mexican food pretty much. I mean we know what happens when we eat that kinda food... -ha- We all go running for Porcelain  Gods! 

Anyway, Here I go with todays Menu!

( my herbs - I take Thyroid Support 2 times a day and Diet Slim 3 times a day with Warm Water)

Morning: Decaf Green Tea, Peanut Butter on Toast (1 Slice)

Lunch : Salad w/ Balsamic Vinaigrette and Reg Tea

Dinner: Sandwich on whole wheat with mustard - Diet Coke.. (guilty)

PS: I'm updating at 10:13pm I am FRIGGIN SORE from working out!

Day 1 - Starting the Diet

So, I had planned on fully working out yesterday but by the time I got home I had to thaw out dinner, Clean up, Do the dishes, and when all was said and done I was dead.... Actually, I was dead from the time that I woke up. 

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago my friend Allison and Lacey were talking about this Jullian Michaels 30 Day Shred and how amazing it is working for them. Now both girls are Already Skinny and tone.. But I have totally seen a difference in Allison since that is the one person I see on a weekly basis. She looks Amazing.  So I decided that I would try it out with some other assistance.. 1. Blogging about it 2. Taking Vitamin Supplements, and 3.  Watching what I eat.  

So the Vitamin's that I am taking are a Thyroid Support and Diet Slim by Gaia Herbs. I was recommend this by a friend of Mine in Kentucky who has the same issue as I have. I work out, eat light, Don't eat much junk food, Stay away from Breads for the most part, but I just don't loose the weight. I've been to two nutritionist and both of them have said that because of the amount of working out I have muscle underneath all of this but some of it has turned into flab.  I've kept a secret food Journal and showed the doctors what I eat.. even if I take like a lil piece of chocolate just to get the edge off.  They recommended that I take some sort of Meds and I'm not a person that likes to put unnatural things in my body (aka: I don't like to use drugs) Maybe that is my old Straight Edge roots coming out( I no longer claim the edge). but pharmisuticals are just, I dunno unknown and just the thought of chemicals in my body blech. So I shot for all naturals and see what it can do for me. 

Day 1. 

morning: I had a Earl Grey Tea w/ 2 splenda's and 210 cal cinnamon thing. 

Lunch: 1/2 Peanut butter Sandwich on Wheat Bread. 

Dinner: London Broil, Whole Lotta Green Beans, and a 1/2 cup of rice

I drank 2 bottles of water and drank about 2 glass's of Green Tea

Dessert: half a cup of Rainbow Sherbet 

Remember: I work at a hardware store. I'm a manager and I run all over the store.. I mean ALL OVER THE STORE! and my Store manager, I think he thinks I'm his personal assistant some days!

 So I attempted to attend a Yankee's Game this season. I had bought my friend Allison a Ticket to one of the biggest games of the season.. When the Yanks take on the Redsox! I was totally stoked when I got these for her and totally excited. But When I woke up this morning I was totally bummed, it was raining....  And not just any rain a Steady, we are not gunna give up and ruin any plans you have for the next couple of days, Rain.. The game was suppose to start at 7:05pm..  By 8:30 we had enough of waiting around.. and as we were leaving they started to remove the tarp... Thats okay. I got a ride home from the Bronx and I didn't have to feel soggy for the rest of the evening! That's a Plus! Thanks H!

Twilight!

So with all the talk about the TWILIGHT series. I decided to purchase the books and watch the movie.. 

Book Review - After doing some research on the writer I could understand how and why she wrote the book the way that she did. Of Mormon background I understood the innocents she wanted to portray with Bella through out the books. I'll admit it when I say I really liked the whole series. It kept me wanting to read and read and read just to find out what happend in the next chapter. The only thing I could complain about is that Meyer writes almost a little to simple using non complex words but for tween's and teen's alike it honestly wasn't so bad. I'd recommend it for anyone to read especially the younger generation. I think it teaches a few things. but that is just me. 

Twilight - Bella moves to Forks a small town in Washington state. Being the new girl in school of course she gets hit on by all the guys. But she isn't interested in  them she is interested in the one person who is nearly impossible to get their attention.  As she walks into Biology Class he gets a wiff of her scent that is so strong he, meaning Edward, can't contain himself. Edward basically trys to push her away as he know's it isn't right that they be together but soon finds out it is hard to keep away. Bella adventally figures him out announcing she knows what Edward is but it wouldn't stop her from being with him.  After a baseball game a Set of 3 trackers come in to cause trouble for the Cullen family when James catches the scent of Bella causing him to track her and attempt to kill her.  Now was he sucessful.. I guess you are going to have to read the book to find out. 

Now for the Movie -  The movie was good.. and I can TOTALLY tell why the fan's are going gaga over this movie.. Not for nothing I always liked Robert Pattinson I think he will be come a great actor if he keeps out with other rolls outside of this series if he chooses. I've seen alot of his BBC stuff that he has done and just watched 'How To Be' and I honestly can't wait for 'Little Ashes' He's brilliant, Handsome, Smart, and adorably shy.  Now back to the movie.. It was good but I can't wait to see what Chris does with New Moon because he has more of a budget then the first movie did. I was  a little bummed that they didn't go with more of the books perspective. It seemed to that the only one who had lines was Bella and I know the first book is in her perspective but you didn't really get to hear Bella and Edward really react to each other it was blocked out by music. I dunno I would have like to have seen more conversation between the two.  I loved the baseball scene especially when Edward and Emmitt collide in mid air and when they come down Edward Flicks off Emmit. That totally had me cracking up. Now for some reason the killing scene's in the movie were a lil odd. I dunno I didn't dig them to much. and you know what I want more of Dr. Cullen (Peter Facinelli) now that my friends is a good piece of work... His family lives down the road from me which I find sorta funny. who knows maybe one day I will run into him at the Stop and shop.
