How exciiiiiting!!!

It's been a long time since I've been able to do this...sit here with a bagel and coffee, early in the morning, and just blog. Although, I think I may have forgotten how to do this. I no longer know what I should or shouldn't say in this forum. Ah, screw it...I've never censored myself before. I don't know why I've been doing it lately...so, I'll stop!

Friday and yesterday I worked out with Ray Ray the Saviour. I'm heading back to the gym here soon as well. It's so hard to get back into the routine that I used to have. It most definitely is a lifestyle change, and it affects the things you do on the weekends, and who you hang out with...and really...I really, really need to learn to say NO! So, Ray Ray keeps making me do this thing that I absolutely hate. It's called Jump-ups w/ a 5 second squat hold. Basically I have to jump up onto one of those step aerobic platform things, stay in a squat and hold it for 5 seconds. It sucks! It mostly sucks because it's some kind of weird mental thing with me...I'm AFRAID to jump onto that thing! So, on Friday, one of my fears came true. I jumped up, and my foot caught on the edge of the step, I almost went face forward onto the floor, but since Ray Ray is the Saviour, he saved me. And I didn't fall, but I made a really loud noise knocking the step over, and I felt really, really dumb. So, needless to say, when I had to do it again yesterday, I would stand there, hands on hips, just looking at this step, and trying to make my brain tell my feet that it was OK to jump. I did complete that set without falling, but I'm sure, just like with the stability ball, I will have many more incidences of clattering over the step and falling on my face.
I am finding these days that I don't feel like I fit in anywhere. I know...wha, wha, wha...but it's true. I hung out with my family a lot this weekend, and I'm so much different from them...not in a good, bad, better, or worse way...just different...different sense of humor, different way of thinking, different way of life. They always say that they think I don't like them, but the truth is that I don't think they like me...and if I'm real honest I would have to say that subconciously that's why I probably don't hang out with them that much...I hate feeling like I'm a disappointment and like I'm being judged. And I am completely aware that a lot of that is probably just my paranoid head, but it's still there, nonetheless. I don't feel like I fit in with a lot of my friends either, and I really don't want to change myself just to feel like I do...ok, enough with the pity party!!!

I really could go on and on this morning, but I will spare you...until tomorrow, when I can do this again! YAY! I'm unemployed now, my seasonal job is over, so until I find my "career", I have lots of time!

OMG!!! I LOVE STEP AEROBICS!!! Cardio is the best workout for me and seems to be the only thing that really works for me. I need to get back into it, because my body is turning into mush!!! TOTALLY!!!!! I'll be 36 next month, and I have to own up to the fact that I am not a skinny mini anymore!! I actually have to WORK AT having a decent looking body. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish it was just step aerobics, but it's all this weight stuff that he makes me do on the step aerobic step. I love weight lifting a lot more than cardio. Cardio kills me...smoker's lungs I guess.

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...
WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
