“This aint about givin’ up or givin’ in…” – Bon Jovi (We Weren’t Born To Follow)
Today’s Date: 1.4.13
Mood: pleasant. For the time being. But tis still early….
Health: sore. I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus.
                        I worked the hell out of my flab-eous  ass-imus between the stationary bike, treadmill, squats… etc
Outfit: black, wide-leg, soft-cotton, dress pants (Cato). Black and pink ribbed tank (Style&co.) with a black tank with white stars all over it (Strawberry) and a “trendster” black jacket –that’s the best way I can describe it- (Style&Co) – um. My same black Nike’s. I KNOW! I need different shoes! It’s payday. I might take care of that on lunch.- not b/c I don’t have enough shoes at home… but I don’t want to wear those shoes! And I have to wear these at the gym later… so I’m a little lazy…
>>>nails: bare. No polish. I finally got frustrated enough with that cheap crap I just took it off. Letting ‘em breathe for a day or two.
broke another one last night… and when I say “broke” I mean it just tore. Like a wet sheet of paper- I’m eating the right “diet” [eggs, fish, lentils, whole grains, greens, veggies, fruits, real fruit juices, no soda, lots of water, no sugar] yet my nails are still paper thin and breaking when the wind blows too hard… :/   
>>>makeup: none. I might put some on in a little while. Depends on if the cute guy is at work today. (at least mascara and lip plump lip gloss)
>>>hair: more of just a rant: while my hair is growing from where I chopped it all off a couple months ago, (and I actually do think it’s a little thicker than it used to be [maybe the diet is working some – also could be the new shampoo – get to that in a min] ) but it’s so dull. There is NO softness or shine to my hair at all!! It’s just dull and dry. I was using Garnier Clean and Clear… not impressed. So I did some research on what the best drugstore shampoos are and found Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner. Just tried it out last night… so maybe I should give it some time before I rip it to shreds. I mean… I could totally understand if this was left over hair from this summer where I bleached it [God only knows how many times] this summer to go from black, to platinum blonde (that’s 3 times alone) to dye it pink. Then a month later covered the pink with blue and then bleached it another 2 times to get the blue out to just go blonde for 2 days to go back to black since I knew I was gonna be losing my job and cant exactly go to interviews with pick/blue hair. So I cut it all off. – well that and the PERFECT timing of having some boy tell me I wasn’t allowed to cut my hair, because women aren’t attractive if they have short hair and then he up and disappeared on me while I was going through one of the roughest patches of my life – something I will be reminding myself of daily now that he has decided to crawl back out of his narcissistic hole again…. but I digress!!!
Anyway- I think I’m just going to start doing the stuff you read on the Internet: you know, a hair mask of mayo and eggs and whateverthefuck you’re supposed to let soak on your head. There is a scalp masque/massage thing I want to try out b/c it just sounds like it feels a-maz-zing!

Weather:  so… I ran out of the house this morning late and didn’t bother to grab a coat… b/c I didn’t have time for all that putting my arms in the sleeves and buttoning up business…. It’s 27 degrees outside right now. Not happy. And don’t get it twisted… I’m not mad at myself for not grabbing a coat… oh no… I’m pissed b/c it’s 27 degrees outside.

Currently reading: 11/22/63 – Stephen King  (and Fitness Magazine January Issue, and Women’s Health Magazine January/February Issue) <- and I will continue to read my magazines regardless of who doesn’t like it!

Thought/Quote of the day:
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology

This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who cusses and spits
This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in

Yeah, yeah, yeah

We weren't born to follow

Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)

There's a hole in my straw :-{

Date: 1.4.13 - the first Friday of the new year! 

Mood: Meh....
Health: I actually slept decently last night!!!  Strange strange dreams though...

Weather: clear and pretty and COLD

Outfit: grey jeans, white 3/4 sleeved tshirt with a bedazzled peace sign in the middle (shut up - its pretty!!) my fave black overlay thingy (its like a cardigan... but its cotton... and no buttons, so I dunno what to call it) many pinkish colored stripey socks and the same ol ugly black shoes as all week...  (seeing a pattern yet? LOL) No makeup as of yet... I think I'm starting to scare people... LMAO!!

Song of the Day: "One Headlight" The Wallflowers - actually, that's the 2nd song I heard this morning... the first one was "That's the Way" by KC and the Sunshine Band... however, I only actually heard the last 20 seconds or so of it - so I can't actually count it.  LOL!

Pic of the day: I'm gonna paint you a mental picture today b/c I wasn't able to whip out  my phone while driving 60mph on the interstate this morning in order to catch this most awesome sight.... 
So I'd been riding behind this 18wheeler for half my journey down the interstate and finally I had an opening to get over into the right lane, which would take me to my exit... natch, I sped up b/c I'm terrified of riding on the ass corner of a big rig b/c they can't see me there... 
when I got up to the middle of the trailer of the truck I see a pair of eyes staring at me...  *gasp* WTF??? 
As I said, by this time I'm going 60mph around a curvy spot in the road so I couldn't exactly turn my head and stare.... but I glanced over enough times to confirm that - yup - I was being watched....  by a truckload of COWS !!!  Its not like I was just catching black-and-white glimpses through the slats in the truck.. no... They were shoving each others heads out of the way in order to look through the largest hole at their eye level in order to peek out at the world... and in doing so - I got a clear view of atleast 3 cows faces! 
Being the hippie that I am, I prefer to believe that these cows are off to a joyful day at a lovely cow amusement park full of different colored grassy pastures and cud-chewing contests... :D
*end of mental picture*

Daily Rantings: I can't actually say that I have anything in particular to "rant" about this morning... other than the fact that there's a hole in my straw... >:(
My husband makes a bit of fun of me for it - but I prefer to drink my coffee with a straw... yes... even hot coffee... I dunno why... I just like it. 
Because of this odd habit of mine, we buy boxes of throw-away straws at the grocery store to keep at home for my daily pre-work coffee.  Usually, if I've chosen a defective straw, I catch it before leaving the house so I can promptly dispose of the offending thing and get a new one.  Today, however, I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't notice until I was in the car and out of the driveway that *gasp* there's a hole...  Thankfully its not so big as to completely prevent my coffee drinking... but it slows the process considerably.... so here I am at work, and I still have coffee to drink (usually its long gone by the time I actually get here).  So all in all, I guess its not a horrible thing... though still annoying. 
(told you I was a dork... who else do you know that can ramble on for an entire paragraph about a hole in a straw?? LMAO!!!!)

Mid-Day Rantings

Random bitchy thoughts that have been building up all day

(please keep in mind that these are in fact MY opinions/thoughts)
--- maybe I should also reiterate that i do have 2 different individuals in mind... so... this is really just me being mad that them
1. Any man who says they would rather have a “thick” woman, or a woman with “meat on her bones” is full of shit. If given the option of some super-hot model on the pages of a magazine, or some random fat chick… guys are NOT gonna skip up the hot babe. Seriously. Shut up.
2. Fact: research shows that men would rather date a recovering drug addict than a fat woman: www.menshealth.com/weight-loss/i-hate-fat-people
3. If a woman isn’t happy with herself, or with her life, it doesn’t matter what someone else says to try to make her happy or see herself differently. How she sees herself is her ultimate truth and nothing anyone else thinks can change it just because they see it another way.
4. HEY! It’s MY goddamn body! If I want to hate it I can! It’s no “skin off your back!” so what’s it to you anyway?! stfu
5.            Women’s Health Opinion Chart (are you allowed to have an opinion on Women’s Health?)
Do you have a vagina?
>Yes – proceed
>No – SHUTTHEFUCKUP!

True Colors

Okay - right now - with all of you lovely readers as my witnesses... I shall show my true colors....

I'm a complete and total NERD !!! 

A geek, dweeb... whatever your word of choice might be... that's who I am!!!  I've fought it long enough... and here I am to finally admit to it!

*whew* I feel better. 

What brought on this huge life-changing realization, you might ask???
.....please ask..... 


I  left the office for lunch a little while ago and upon my return, I saw........ a few aisles away....... in the same parking lot where I was sitting........
....
......
........
..........


 ***** a DELOREAN *****

Straight from the most awesome 80s trilogy "Back to the Future" a fire-trail leaving, license-plate spinning, time traveling Delorean !!!!!!!!! 

*nerdgasm*

I must retire back to my dull office-drone work in order to calm myself down....
