Rest Day

Today is Sunday. Sunday is my day of rest. But I'm hating not working out or doing something so I'm thinking about going for a good brisk walk. I like to walk.....just not by myself so that keeps me from doing it alot. But Beej is home today and Gianna is out at my Mom's house for the afternoon so I think we might go here in a bit. We have officially completed 28 days of P90X and I couldn't be more proud of us! I'm kinda addicted to the feeling of working out! I like the sweat and the burn! Hopefully I'll continue to like it. I've just got to get over liking the taste of food too! Haha!
Beej was able to work three days this week which was much needed. And since the guy who replaced him's wife is having a baby he'll get to work two days this week too! It's such a blessing. We've both put in applications every where possible and still haven't heard back from any of them. It's quit discouraging and frustrating. Beej is supposed to go down to Outback from time this week and see about getting back on there. Not his favorite job but it's take home money every night so that's nice. We're really just hoping his old job opens up ASAP! We never thought that the band that he quit his job for and worked his butt off for would turn on him like they did and leave him hanging. Goes to show you can never count of people, well, very few of them at least. But these past fews weeks Beej has put together alot of his own stuff and has gotten things recorded and started for his EP. I'm so thrilled and his stuff is sounding so good! I just want other to embrace his music too, not just his music but his passion for it!!!

*SIGH*

It's been a long day. Nothing special to report! I worked out late last night and hated it. I think it was the worst workout I've had so far. Mainly because it was so late, second because it was a new workout I wasn't geared up for, and because my tattoo is still not healed so it was kinda hard to do any exercise that I had to bend my foot for! Lol! I didn't think it through very well! Anyway, I felt pretty discouraged. Today I got up and got my workout done right away. It was Kenpo and I love that one! It's such a great calorie burner and I still feel sore after it and that makes me feel like I've accomplished alot! Spent the rest of the day with my siblings running them around to their different activities. Met my parents for dinner and then came home. Beej did his workout and crashed. He's worked all week and worked out. It's alot of hard work, drains him. But I do miss hanging out with him in the evenings some. Now he eats dinner, works out, cleans up and promptly falls asleep. He's looking great though, not that he didn't before! But this working out thing looks good on him! Me, well, I don't know. I can see some changes. My muscles are much more toned and defined. But I'm not losing weight like I wanted to right away. I'm going to keep at it though, it's at least keeping me from gaining anymore. My goal is 20lbs. So far, I've still got twenty to go! Lol! But I feel much tighter and firmer which is nice! I'm just eager to be able to wear clothes that I haven't been able to wear for awhile. I have got to get my diet under control. I was doing great until this past weekend. My birthday totally threw me off. And now I just can't seem to get back on track now. *sigh* Too much sugar. I totally need a new hair do. I'm so tired of my boring hair cut. I just don't feel like I have the time or energy to do any more with my hair then I already do.....Ugh, who knows. I'm so tired and I'm just ready for bed. I'm calling it a night. See ya another day and another time when I'm feeling a little more chipper!

Girl's Night Out!

Last night was a total blast! I went out with my two best friends for a belated birthday "Girl's Night Out". They are such fun and I enjoyed myself so much! We went first and got my new tattoo! I'm so thrilled and pleased with it. I went and saw Marcus Clark at Ink Link in Shelby, NC. My friend and her family have all had multiple tattoos done by him and have been very pleased with the results. I went with her when her and her mom got their last ones, which were foot tattoos. And I really liked his work and him as a person. Very quiet but very confident in his tattooing ability. Not to mention excellently priced as well. I paid $60 for the small celtic heart on my wrist and it wasn't even done well (I'm not pleased with it to this day and it needs to be re inked.). I paid $40 for the star on my foot and I was pleased with it very much. But Marcus charged me $45 to add to the star and to re ink the star so that it was the same black! I was thrilled!!! I love the design - Shane K. White of Shane K. White Art drew it up for me (Check out his incredible stuff at shanekwhiteart.com) and I couldn't be more pleased! After my wonderful tat experience we went out to dinner and laughed our butts off! It's amazing how funny we find some stuff! Then we headed off to the coffee shop and enjoyed some more chatting, a little more serious but enjoyable none the less! Headed home, dropped off one of my friends and then my other friend was taking me home in her car and we had a wreck! Totally not our fault! We were entering a intersection with a light, our light was green and as we entered the intersection some guy decided to turn, really fast and we served to try and miss him but he slammed into the side of us. The airbags blew up - it hit me in the side of the face and for a minute or two my hearing was all muffled. The window shattered in front of me and the seat belt dug into my side when we hit. I've got a nasty bruise there now. She had pretty bad whiplash on the side of her neck. But other then that we left the scene unharmed. Her car on the other hand wasn't unharmed. Bless her heart! I know she loved that Jeep and I did too! Lol! But it was the other guys fault so the insurance will cover her a new one. Just glad we were ok. But we ended the night with a "bang", literally! But over all it was a lovely night out!!!

My birthday is over.....

Well, I am having post birthday blues! Lol! No, but I am surprised that after all the anticipation leading up to my birthday its all over. I had a great time out. My mom took me and my little sister and my best friend out to lunch at a Japanese place where the cook in front of you! My best friend had never been to one so it was kinda fun! We had a great cook and we got SO much food! Yay for doggie bags! They made me put on a crown and stand up and dance for my birthday! I used to be insanely embarrassed about these kinda things but as I've gotten older I've gotten over it! I'm just learning to have fun! After lunch we went and did a little shopping, I got a new pair of sunglasses and a cute pair of houndstooth ballet flats! Houndstooth is now one of the "colors" of the Alabama Crimson Tide. In honor of an old, great coach! So those are for this fall and football season! But I was holding onto my birthday cash for my tattoo! I also got two purses, both which I'm going to have monogrammed with my initials. I haven't had anything with my "new" initials on it since I got married four years ago! So that's going to be nice! After that we went to a coffee shop and got something to drink. Headed back to my parents house for cake and ice cream.....my cake had cartoon lizards on it because it was the only chocolate cake they had! Lol! But it was yummy. I def. got a serious sugar rush yesterday - after the giant Shirley Temple at lunch, the a sugary drink at the coffee shop and then cake and ice cream! Whew! Tony Horton wouldn't be proud of me! Lol! Today I'm doing good, until tonight! Lol! We're having a "girls night out" - belated since my other best friend couldn't make it yesterday. We're going out for pizza and they are going with me to get my new tattoo! I'm so excited, and nervous too! Even though this will be my third tat it's also my biggest one so far! Yikes! Bring on the pain! I'll post pictures after......So so thrilled! Thank God for best friends!!!

Stranger In Bree

As those of you who read this blog know, my hubby is no longer with the "band" he was with before. But he now has more time to devote to actually writing and recording songs! He's been working like a mad man at his keyboard and computer. And the results have been great! I'm very impressed with his new song. It's different for him but very ground breaking towards where he wants to be. Right now you can check him out at myspace.com/strangerinbree or you can go on Facebook and search Stranger In Bree and become a fan! Right now if you send your email to him you get a completely free download of his new song and it's signs you up to receive another free song in September, brand new! I'm very excited about his upcoming EP and what's to come after that! Even though we are very much indeed, Christians, this is not a "christian" album or single. The content is wholesome and you will never hear anything questionable on Beej's songs. But nor are these are going to be "Go to church, sing your praise to the Lord...." songs! Beej and I are way past the whole Christian radio, christian music stuff! Beej wants to write quality songs, quality music and that's it! So please, check him out, get the song, enjoy it and please please please leave him some comment feedback. He likes to hear what you have to say, good or bad. But hopefully you won't have anything bad to say! Lol!

23 on the 23rd!

Soooooo.....it's my birthday tomorrow and I'm over the moon excited! I'll be 23 tomorrow, seems so much "older", so much more grown up! Lol! If I'm not already grown up then I'll never be! I think being a wife for four years and a mother for over two qualifies me as a grown up! Anyway, back to my birthday! After church tomorrow my mom , my little sister and my best friend are taking me out to eat Japanese, do a little shopping and maybe hit up the coffee shop. Then we'll probably go back to Mom's house for some cake and ice cream! Yay! Then later in the week I'm going out for a "Girl's Night Out" with my two besties for pizza and a new tattoo! I'm so excited to get it! Beej's friend, Shane, drew it up for me! I'm really excited about having some of his "art" on my foot - as simple as it might be! It's going to be a great 23rd birthday!!! Woohoo!!!
