THANK YOU, ROCK! Coming from you, that's a great compliment! I'm a little weakling, but I'm workin' on it!

How goes everything?

hahahahhahhahaha seriously! $1,000 per pound of body fat that I could have lost and $1,000 per pound of muscle I could have gained.

Though it wasn't "broken" technically. It was "defective".

I guess i get muscle envy at the gym since I'm surrounded by guys doing bicep curls with like 60+ lb dumbells and bench presses with BIG, IMPRESSIVE plates instead of little 10lb plates -- hahahahahahah!

I don't wanna look like them but i wanna lift like them! hahaha!

Must be residual from my childhood -- i was the only girl in the neighborhood and always wanted to do whatever the boys were doing: skateboarding, riding bmx stunt bikes (like that movie R.A.D), playing football or basketball... I was never allowed to, "Girls don't do that. Girls go to ballet class and take piano lessons!" hahahahaha!

Aaaaanyway...

This psychotherapy moment has been brought to you by Pfizer, makers of Zoloft! We now return to our regular whoring.

Oh man... these dollar stores are screwing up our diets!!!! (yeah yeah, blame it on the dollar stores hahahaha!)

Eh... Honestly? I'm sure if I really really prepare for it, I can. But do i WANT to.... I'm not comfortable with the idea of getting on a stage in a bikini, with a fake tan, and flexing and posing... I just feel silly doing it. I admire those who do, and am totally supportive of it, but I can't do it myself. I'm too shy to ham it up at that level, and barely clothed!

At least I can wear clothes when i sing karaoke. You know? hahaha!

......O man, I'm sorry :/

In case you're wondering what's blaring from my speakers right this very minute (ok, not "blaring" per se... more like barely audible because people will complain otherwise):

We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Everybody now...

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does

Lighters in the air please...

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life
Packed in a suitcase by her feet

But somehow the lights didn’t
Shine as bright as they did
On her mama’s tv screen

And the work seemed harder
And the days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they’d be

But you know you got to stick to your guns
When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can’t choose
It’s like heads they win
Tails you’re gonna lose

Win big--mama’s fallen angel
Lose big--livin’ out her lies
Wants it all--mama’s fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin’ the dice of her life


Yes, in case you just noticed, I'm on a Poison Greatest Hits kick.

Good morning.
I can totally relate to this, mind you having grown up with two older brothers EVERYTHING was a competition and fight for survival. I was my closest brothers favourite victim, he is 7 years older, boy do I have stories! It's amazing I never needed therapy!!! (Though I'm sure some would say I DID need it and still do! )

Hahahahahahahaha! Awesome. In my case I'm the oldest, by two years. But it's the same thing. My brother's friends were like additional little brothers. More people to pester and boss around (or follow around and try to be better than at everything!)

You know I’m a dreamer
But my heart’s of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn’t come home low

OK, OK I'll stop now (Thank you, GG! You're welcome folks!).

hahahahahahaha! Man. I need to work. This is top-notch procrastination you are all witnessing.

Morning

I've got two little brothers, I always wanted an older brother or sister though.

I like the $$$ store

I have a HUGE collection of measuring cups! SOme from there too! Great, now cause of you I will be getting new EXPENSIVE ones!!! I usually weigh most of my food!

Jill I LOVE YOUR NEW HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. I wish I'd had an older sister. For myriad reasons, but mostly so that my parents wouldn't have had to use ME as the child-rearing guinea pig. After me, my brother had it so easy...

With me... super strict, over protective, etc. etc. etc. hahhahahaa!

It's a playlist full of 80s/90s rock bands:

Poison
Motley Crue
Warrant
Great White
Guns n Roses

I've got their CD in my car. I don't know the name of the other song I like on the CD but it's either #3 or #6.
