So, I’ve been thinking. There’s not enough here about me. ::chuckles:: Yes, I know this whole blog is about me, but you end up having to glean information about me from the posts I make. Yes, that’s right, I am leading up to a 100 things page. I mean, why not? It’s fun, right? ::grins:: I thought it would be. So – here it is.

Cool/Not Cool

Posted on November 18, 2005 by Zelda

Let’s play “Cool? Not-So-Cool”!!

The way you play is first you write something that you think is cool? The next person to comment writes something that is NOT cool about what you wrote? and then writes something he/she thinks IS cool.

Example:

You:
Ditching work early on a Friday? Cool.

Commenter #1:
Ditching work early on a Friday and getting stuck in traffic with all the other slackers? NOT-so-cool.
Meeting a really great guy online? Cool.

Commenter #2:
Finding out the “really great guy” is your Dad? NOT-so-cool.
Being chosen to appear on a new reality show? Cool.

Since Betty started this, here’s my response. (;
That reality show is expos? on people caught doing something illegal… NOT cool.
Taking a nap on a rainy day…. Cool

So – come play with me! ::giggles::

A Smaller Me?

Posted on November 18, 2005 by Zelda

So, teli is wanting to be a smaller self and is using her blog to motivate herself to do it. I read that and thought – hey, since *I* want to be a somewhat smaller me, we don’t we try it together? Since getting yourself is easier if there’s someone else there. At least, I think so, anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’m Shamu or anything, but I could stand to lose some poundage. It’d be great to be more active and have more endurance for things.

So, anyway, teli is up for it. And I’m psyched beyond belief about it. Now I just need to figure out what my actual eating habits SHOULD be and stick to it.

And now I need y’all’s help. What IS good for one to be eating? As a balanced diet? I know vegetables are a must. I know that carbohydrates should be moderated. (I can’t cut them out. Pasta and I are too good of friends. Not to mention bread for sandwiches.) And smaller portions. Which I have actually been trying to do this last half of the week.

And exercise. I have a gym membership. I need to get my round bum up to the gym and talk to someone. That’s why I pay them, right? (; And it is. It’s part of my membership to actually be able to talk with a trainer and have the trainer come up with a workout which is best for me.

Okay. I’ve written it down. So mote it be.

HELP ME! XD

Hump Day Blues

Posted on November 16, 2005 by Zelda

So, it’s Hump Day, but it does not bring joy to me today. ::le sigh:: Usually, it does. But not today.

First – I was supposed to have a day off from being available should the crew kids decide to maim themselves with a cordless drill or saw. (It could happen.) But – no. Life is not that kind. I am on, baby. ON. ::le sigh::

Second – I’ve found the world’s best diet. Nausea. Every time I think I want to eat, my belly says to me, “Go on. I could use some practice making you have that again. Go on. Eat that.” Guh. No thanks. Blergh. (Wow, I want to lose what’s left of dinner from last night just thinking about food. Ew.)

Third – my ribs hurt. Two days running. Guh. Evol.

Fourth – There will be no hump in my hump day. (This is a weekly lament, but since I was listing stuff . . . )

How’s YOUR Hump Day? Better than mine, I hope.
