My metabolism hates me

Getting older, getting larger…. that seems to be happening to me as of late… At first I refused to go up a size in clothes, because I was determined to wear the same high school/college sizes I have been wearing for forever. But lets face it, not going to happen!!! Dave and I eat dinner together every evening, but it’s not always home cooked, we order our fair share of delivery and take out. So last week I decided I would try something new, Weight Watchers. It’s not that I think I am really fat, I just feel unhealthy and I know I could stand to lose a few lbs. Well, I learned something about myself last Tuesday, WW is not for me, after feeling like I was STARVING all day long, I devoured half of the Taco Bell menu for dinner that night.

Now I have decided that I need to stop being lazy and work out regularly, not only for my physical well being but for my cholesterol, and future health benefits! I never seem to be able to stick to a gym routine, laziness keeps me from getting there. I like to run, I am no good at it, but when I work hard I can do 3 miles easily. I also have been known to set goals for half marathons, and quit about 2 weeks into trainings… WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! So this time, I decided I will just run, without a goal, just get outside and run at LEAST 3 or 4 times a week. To entice myself, I headed to sports authority to get some new running gear, a few new sleeveless tops for the heat, and more shorts. I also purchased a heart rate monitor online that I am really excited about! I need to learn more about how exactly to use it… Here it is, its pretty much the cutest thing I could find!

So, why am I sharing this information with the internet? I need to be held accountable… I wish I had a running partner, but no one else likes to run :( Anyone want to be internet running partners~? :)

Hola Blogosphere!

Oh, how I have neglected the Crazy Lady blog lately… my apologies. I really have no excuse, except the IT man was fixing something on my work computer and un-installed my live writer! I was to lazy to re-install it until now! And here I am!

Not to much new going on around the Austin area- I had to have a SECOND root canal on the same tooth today… don’t even get me started about that one, at least they didn’t make me pay for it! I may, or may not leave work early… go home and watch Jon and Kate, and sleep… or I may just sit here at work and blog! Yesterday I had to have an ECHO done, so I’m pretty much falling apart! HA! I was the ONLY young person in the waiting room, it was quite awkward! I seem to find myself in these situations more and more lately!

In other news: My 3 year old niece Ellie has her tonsils and adenoids removed last week. She is SUCH a trooper! I am so proud of her. She was so calm and such a big girl! She had to spend the night after her surgery, and I got to spend a few hours with her that evening. We just played and played! He little voice was so squeaky! It was adorable! She seems to be doing well now, she can’t go back to preschool until next week, when she will be fully recovered, but praise God for a successful surgery!

Ashley’s wedding is nearing…and I have about 250 bows to tie on little bubbles tonight, yeeehaw! Better get on that one! I also need to get my crooked dress fixed, not sure what happened at the seamstress, but when I tried it on again, one side is about 3 inches longer then the other! Not the cutest look, but I guess it could be worse, hopefully the lady can fix it in time. I also need to write a speech… I really didn’t even think about this part until I was reading over Ashley’s notes for the DJ, which said Speeches: Elizabeth Roberts and April South….. DU DU DUHHHHHH……. ADVICE? hmmm didn’t think so…We had Ashley’s bachelorette party in Austin on May 2, that was fun!!! It reminded me why I don’t party anymore… I was in bed pretty much the entire next day! But, good times had by all!

I’ve gotten back into the swing of sewing again! I hemmed some pants the other day, and have a dress that needs about 4 inches cut off the bottom! Love being a shorty… I need to post some pictures of my t-shirt quilt! I also should probably finish it too. All I have left is the trim around the edges, which I think is the hardest part! So I have been putting it off, I also need to purchase the fabric for it too, I am looking for a dark brown that matches one of the polka dots, but I haven’t found what I am looking for yet…

Well that's all the randomness I have for the moment, I think I will head home and soak up some sympathy attention from the man : )
