What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?
I'm doin' ma Happy Dance! I've been looking for the perfect kitchen wood floor...for three years. I wanted high gloss mahogany that perfectly matched my antique china cabinet cuz it can be seen from my kitchen. But since I couldn't find that, I decided to settle for slate. I went to Home Depot yesterday and they had the perfect wood floor! I'm happy that I found it, and bought it and it will be picking it up today. I'm so proud that I took my time and waited!

Ha...older guys ROCK! Mine had an x wife and even though I couldn't stand her guts...she taught him everything he needed to know and more about what a woman wants! He's been rocking my world for the last thirty years.
I'm dysfuntional in the morning...how does one stay on a treadmill that early??? You should be PROUD!

Yeah, Christa...take your time....older guys, 2 kids...I smell marriage down this road. And let's face it, lots of peeps have kids/crazy ass exes, etc. these days, even the 25 year olds, so that might not be no thang.
But DO have fun! And hey, there's lots to be argued to have your babies while you're very young. i am loving my second childhood now, had mine at age 19, now we all hang out together - love my girls, am a young enuf granny to keep up with kids.
There is time while you are a mommy to go get your schooling in. Remember: your 24 hours is the same as what Mother Theresa had, MLK had, Jesus had, so how will YOU spend yours? Whining about how little time you have? Doesn't have to be that way.

OMG. slate!! OMG! My whole body is doing the happy dance for ya!!! OMG... !!! I wanted my whole living room in slate but for speed and economy.. I just did the foyer and carpeted up to the marble. OH.. I'm so jeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalous!!!! YOU GO WOMAN!!! (I want to come lay on your slate when it's done)!
I'm proud of...
well.... I had a GREAT time in the gym today! I walked in and right away one of the guys was like "Joisey, Joisey.. you gotta see this" with an 8.5 x 11 envelope (he wasn't making fun of my accent - he rather identifies with it being from Passaic). He had photos of the recent hot air balloon lift in town and some other very gorgeous photos (he's a local artist). One had such a Monet like quality that I couldn't take my eyes off of it.. very impressionist.. yanno? I gotta get me that one! So three or 4 of us were talking about it, and I got to go to my favorite subject! MY CHILD!! Since she's an artist, it worked right in! :) She's so cool and talented! I so enjoyed the art... I rarely get to see any new stuff anymore since my kid moved.
ok.. then... I had my earbuds in doing my thing to Bowie's Sweet Thing and in my full out plain view was something very sweet doing chin ups.. ahem.. yea.. the hormones are still working and that helped with the heart rate! My my my.. noon to 2 is going to be my new time of day!
I was in an all out huff after only 45 minutes man.. lemme tell ya... probably cause I sat on my ass all weekend. When I got off we had a political debate but we were all on the same side! (Well. it was just the artist who was doing it with another guy and called me over saying "Lori.. tell him what you think" the freakin' troublemaker).. They decided that if I tell anyone else my views.. I'd be dragged out into the streets and stoned.. tee hee (I love a good argument when everyone ends up laughing). Finally I said "Screw it.. I'm voting for Alice Cooper" and everyone sang "school's out for EVER".. lol so that was fun.
It's so rare that the right group of people are there at just the right time! So I'm kinda proud I milked it and went late.
Then I got the grocery shopping done (there was NOTHING in the house when I got back cause I prepared it all and froze it for Jon's meals). So I'm proud I actually did the do all the way even though I really need another hour today for not getting anything in all weekend.
MARY..WANT SOME OF MY ENDORPHINS.. I HAVE EXTRA TODAY!

Well geeze, I'm so glad to hear that you are getting your money's worth at the gym with your new entertainment. So noon to 2 now becomes SHOWTIME!!! Ya make me want to join a gym!
Hey, I was GOING to get a slate floor cuz I couldn't find the right wood floor, but now I have. But I am thinking about putting slate on the island. Either that or travertine. My list of things to do around here just keeps getting longer. I'm not sure where on the list that would be?
So you say you have extra endorphins now do ya? Now that's just BRAGGIN'!!!

".... with your new entertainment."
Well.. the one guy is always entertaining. Last week he caught me in the parking lot and had me come to his car to show me a shhhhhhhhhhh secret... OMG. He had just finished a piece and just picked it up from finishing.. getting it ready for a local show... but I GOT TO SEE IT FIRST! lol
As far as the other entertainment.. it's a matter of choosing a treadmill wisely.. tee hee. Then of course there is upstairs where you can do your thing on a treadmill or eliptical and people watch all you want and no one knows. Once in a while though... . the right song.. and the right person heads to those chin ups. hmm.... and they can surely milk 3 sets long enough to keep me entertained. Hope no one notices me pressing the back button on the IPOD.. "Boys.. Boys.. it's a sweet thang sweet thang.. OHhhhh boys.. it's a cheap thang cheap thang"<-- gotta love Bowie. LOL (I gotta get me a hormone removal or something.. this is getting out of hand and it gets worse with the weight loss!) :(
