Guys, my fellow bloggers who've I've known for two years, it has been that long right? I've enjoyed being here, I've enjoyed the chit chats, the flirting, the commiserating, the bawdy jokes...in retrospect everything! I've also come to love a few of you. I don't know you, but I do, if you know what I mean. And as Doc so eloquently put it in a comment on my last blog, we've come to know each other's personalities and nuances that so makes this community the wonderful place it is. Hol...

Journal entry 8/12/06 I got back not too long ago from working out at the gym. What a workout! I feel so energised. At least I did when I left, now I'm feeling sleepy because I had to run around for a bit and the sun is really hot out there today! Anyway, First I walked for 15 minutes before the gym opened. When it did, I concentrated on weights today for about 30 mins. It was gruelling! I did a combination workout with several machines, working my arms, chest and thighs and back....

I sit and watch with trepidation what was unfolding in front of me on the television from the news report. A report on the British terror plots. Thank heavens they found some of those people, I hope they’re able to find all of them. Here in America they finally were able to locate some of those Egyptian students who were missing. While the reports said they were only students and not terrorists, one never knows and I do hope they will find the others. With what’s been going on betwee...

OK, before I get to my subtitle..... I have not had much luck with having an aggressive workout this week at all. I start, I can't finish. I try to get it done, but family time makes it difficult to carve out time for myself. I will definately have to. The kids went back to school this week and so the schedule has been topsy turvy. So exercise has been kind of on the back burner physically but on the forefront mentally. I'm not becoming obsessed with it, I just want to be able to...

It's been two years, well, almost two years since my mom passed and I have not cleaned out her closet as yet. It's a task I dread because I know it will be my undoing. I've already given the things I know she wanted my siblings to have to them. I've also taken some items I knew my sisters would love to have in memory of her. Check and taken care of. I will have to do it when I'm home alone. Because it would be too traumatic for my kids or even my husband to see me like that. That ...

I dreamt she was an angel An arch angel Like a warrior princess Standing guard, doing battle on our behalf She was wielding her sword like a true warrior As she was in life There she stood, tall, fierce But oh so beautiful Her face so angelic, so young Her wings so large, it seemed too big For her small frame And yet it was such a part of her It made her look intimidating But I was not afraid And she talked to me In a language I didn’t know Bu...

Journal entry for August 6 On Sunday I didn’t work out as intensely. First my body was screaming, not too badly but my muscles were protesting. I did some jump rope. About 50 jumps. My stamina is just not there yet, so I was out of breath by the time I was done! I did some stretching and sit ups. Then housework and cooking took over so I gave up. I walked because I had to take my kids to do last minute stuff for back to school. It was sweltering; it was a relief ...

Journal entry for August 5 On Saturday I decided to go to the gym after not being there for about a year now. I was in the mood for a good work out! When I got there it was closed but I didn’t go back home. I decided I would walk for a bit and then come back to check if they would be open later. I walked for 30 minute at a good strong pace. It was going to be a hot day but since it was so early it wasn’t that hot yet, thank heavens! When I got back to the gym it was open so I...

So I've decided that I have to, have to start moving again. I have to in the name of my physical health and well being. And also because if I don't, I will not like the outcome of a sedentary life. I"ve been more physically active for the last two-three months. I started out by walking again. I don't get the chance to do it everyday, but I've been walking. I've also begun to exercise. Not an easy feat when you're not in the mood, but I find that when I'm not and I just do it, I usuall...

I can’t understand it. Why is Macintosh so disliked by so many? I used to use the Mac a couple of years ago at one of my jobs. The boss liked Macs and only bought Macintosh. As a PC user at the time and having never used the Mac, I didn’t really feel intimidated by it. It took me a couple of days to get the hang of it and I actually liked it! There was no big deal to it. After having used it for over three years (my time at that position) I actually loved it! At my next positio...
