Gonna pack on saturday, and then go to disneyland on sunday.

Then monday I get the truck and we load it up and move. I think I'm going to start my job a couple days early since we're going to have to put everything in storage. Christie found a really nice place but it isn't available til Oct. 1. I'm excited and nervous about my new job. lol

oh yeah i bet cody is a little speed demon to.
on the job, just from personal experience. The smaller companies pay better, however there isn't much room to grow. The bigger companies follow the BS rules about this guy has to earn more than this guy, kinda like what they are pulling on you. However you have a chance to climb the so called ladder at the bigger places. The whole thing is a hard decision. I got lucky and finally have an awesome job that pays great. But took me 9 yrs and 7 companies to find it.

Hey dvlmn!! Your sig has a quote from "night of 1000 corpses", is that a good movie? I was at the video store yesterday looking at it but I seriously could not rent it because it WOULD SCARE ME TOO MUCH!! I love scary movies, but I can't watch them anymore. They freak me out too much! So, how was it?

Fade and I took our 15 yr old son to a Rob Zombie concert a year or so ago... "Night of 1000 Corpes" is his movie and he had it playing up on those big TV screens and let me tell you... it was one demented, sick piece of work!!!

Fade, of course, wants to see it but I'll never watch it

LOL, me either, I can't handle them anymore!

Stacey, I keep forgetting to tell you how cute Cody is! What a little sweetie! I am going to post a pic of my puppy for you in my journal so you can see her. She's such a good dog! Although I took her swimming this morning and she really stinks right now, I need to make my husband give her a bath!

Hey Sweets!
I'm glad your weekend was good! Sounds like fun. I'm sorry you and Matt faught, especially about silly not so important things You want to keep it nice and clean and mean well, there's no reason for him to yell at you for that!
My weekend was good! Relaxing and nice. Had some great workouts! Tried Kickboxing yesterday and it was SO much fun!
Kicked back with friends watching movies and stuff. And were chatting with Justin a lot That always makes me happy!

Yeah, keep looking for jobs, it can take time sometimes!

I'm glad your meals and workouts are going well! Good job honey!! I'm doing good to, since I was able to get back in the gym again my motivation has grown a lot!

Yeay, a new workout buddy! I need that too

Have a nice Monday sweets, I'm off to teach a spin class now!

I need to post my workouts for the weekend.. They were great!

Friday night I rollerbladed with my friend (and her dog- a ? something Husky ...BEAUTIFUL Dog.. Cody couldn't go.. I think he will pull me wayyyyyyyyy toooooooooooo fast.. LMAO) we had fun-for an hour! Then did abs at home, and had a protein shake when I was done (even though I wanted a beer.. I did goooood..and I didn't snack while watching a movie by myself! )

Saturday I got up had protein pancakes, cleaned a lot, then worked out..

I did 15 minutes on elliptical, and 17 minutes running on treadmill w/ incline from 4% to 8%. Was sweaty~
Then I did trained my arms. Lots of different moves since I was at the Real Gym! Did that Rope tricep pushdown, then switched to a bar (that V's out) for a tricep push down.
Then used the bar again (all on that pulley thing)
for Bicep curls
Did Regular Bicep curls w/ 17lb dumbbells.. 3 sets of 10, then used
15lb db. for Bicep curls (did 15 reps)

I did tricep extentions w/ dumbells (w/ one hand resting on bench.) using 12lb. db

Did My abs on the inclined bench. (LOVE THOSE) I think I did about 200 reps because I would do them in between arm breaks.)

Also Did more..just can't remember. I'm going to start taking a journal w/ me!

AND Oh Ya.. I did calf raises on the leg press! Turning my toes different ways!
