Get on the Bar?

So I haven’t blow dried my hair in awhile, I’ve been pretty lazy, I just pin it up and run away, I feel like I’ve been really lazy with myself, but really good to the house I get home, pick JustAnUglyMonkey’s lunch and or dinner plates off of the living room floor, his milk glass, his sock and underwear and deposit in the correct places. I then proceed to do dishes, laundry and cook or bake something, all while watching a TV show or movie. I clean litter box, water plants and take out trash. But Amanda needs a little work now so I’ve gotten a little hair cut and I got my eye brows waxes, I touched up my roots, (I think I missed a few … grrrr) But the one thing that still irks me is my round shape. JustAnUglyMonkey owns P90X, which is an amazing program, especially for men. I have a friend, Georgia’s brother who is doing it currently and let me just say…wow sexy.  Monkey and I keep saying that we will start it but we never do. And I very much like to jog on my treadmill even more so now that I have my TV hooked up down there. I need to get up early enough to run down there for 20 mins and watch the news now instead of lay on the couch and watch it. BUT! I haven’t seen any results with my jogging, I may even feel bulkier! And then Monkey said something the other day that makes sense, you can’t just do cardio, it really doesn’t help you lose weight, building muscle does. Which is one reason P90X does so well, it’s all about muscle confusion. But P90X isn’t my thing I’ve tried it before and I hate to sound like a wuss but it’s hard and well boring, for me at least, I know many that love it like I said it does work. So off I went to find something that would be good for me to do. One day while cruising the web I saw Kelly Osborne. I always thought she was a bigger girl and here she was trim and happy. Yeah I know celebrities are airbrushed and on goofy diets and have crazy trainers yadda, yadda, yadda, but I was actually interested on how she did it. To Google I went! And after she participated in Dancing with the Stars, she stayed trim with The Bar Method. Then other celebrities popped up that had used it like Drew Barrymore. I went out to find what average Jill’s thought of The Bar Method and I can’t find a negative thing about it. And even more I found their site and the 2 pack of the workout DVDs were very reasonably priced. So I bought them, they should get here in a little bit and I’ll have to blog about it. The principle behind The Bar Method is a little ballet, yoga, and pilates. But it’s to build lean long muscles like a dancer. I used to dance it’s right up my alley! So up dates to come when it gets here! I’ll take you on my sweat-tastic journey. We’ll see if this is a keeper.

I am however doing good on my pop deal, I limit it to one can of pop a day or no pop at all. I’m doing very well and have stuck to that for quite some time J

Other news! We are the proud owners of Mini Bikes!!!

The red one is mine! It runs really well just doesn’t look pretty…yet!

JustAnUglyMonkey has the green one and we are selling the naked one to one of our friends.

Georgia and I got together a few days ago and watched us some True Blood and made some chicken fajitas! What goes better with fajitas than Budlight lime and Key lime pie? Nothing…well maybe some margaritas, but I don’t know where my blender is… do I have a blender? I thought I did…

I like my fruit snacks dangerous!

The cats love key lime pie too!!

The cats…all the ever do is sleep. Little Fry you pet him twice, he starts to purr then he’s out like a light!

Leela, caught mid yawn scary isn’t it?

Oh to be a cat.

Bye, bye for meow

Super Skin Suits, Sci-Fi and Sewing

So the other day I snapped my favorite bra. It was an amazing body by Victoria bra. It was pretty plain Jane, but was seamless and fit like a glove. Yeah stupid wire broke and poked me in the armpit and I couldn’t take it anymore. The problem is that these bras aren’t cheep and so I thought I would go and do the responsible thing and get a cheaper one at another store. And while the one I found does fit very nicely and was half the cost, it has this lacy bit that is itchy and driving me bonkers! Pull out seam ripper or live with it? Hmmm. But it got me to thinking wouldn’t it be nice to have a neat mold thing that you could fit into that was not only a bra that lifted and whatnot, but was like a skin suit. Okay don’t start thinking I’m all Wild Bill and I’m throwing lotion at someone at home in a hole. I’m just saying it could be like a fat suit in reverse? Don’t feel like shaving your legs? Need a tan? Suck in that tummy get rid of that cellulite? Well there’s the skin suit! I don’t know how the magical ins and outs of it would work but you just put it on and you have a perfect body, no worries. I would like that, I would like a skin suit that I could have turn golden brown and slim, you could swim in it, no more being self conscious during vacations or pool parties. It would look just like you and no one would know.  Alright I know that we are already outfitted with something like this, I’m just all for the easy way, the creative techie scientific way… yeah, sure, let’s go with that. Do away with plastic surgery and let’s make custom skin suits lol.  Fine, fine, I’ll be happy with my lacy itchy bra, and I’ll eat some fish and hop on a treadmill. But I did have Chocolate cake for breakfast and I don’t care, it was amazing and hit the spot.

So the other day JustAnUglyMonkey and I were looking at old cartoons we used to watch when we were little we are huge fans of cartoons and believe that they don’t make them like they used to. But it got me to thinking about other stuff that I used to watch when I was a kid and wouldn’t mind seeing again. One was the TV series Beauty and the Beast, and another was this sci-fi TV show that I couldn’t remember the name, and I didn’t watch it regularly, but every time it was on I would watch it. There was a ship shaped like a bug and it ate planets, a love slave, and a dead guy with funky hair. So off to look these up. I have on order the Beauty and the Beast series from my local Library, but I also found that crazy Sci-Fi show! It’s called Lexx and I swept it off of the shelf and began to watch it. It’s pretty campy and slightly pornographic to say the least. Did I mention that I really had creepy taste when I was little, okay I still have creepy taste. Scary and creepy didn’t and has never bothered me. Do I get scared? Yes! But I like it.

So I’m watching this show and I’m two episodes in, and it is like a train wreck I can’t help but keep watching, and there is 4 seasons of it!!! Apparently the love slave is in love with the dead guy, and she’s sad because she’d love to fool around with him, but his junk doesn’t work…. Oh unrequited love, so sad.

I know Monkey won’t watch this one with me, but I wonder if he would watch Beauty and the Beast. I think he remembered that one, maybe if I told him the Beast is Hellboy and that guy off of Sons of Anarchy (New season starting Sept. 7) and the Beauty is Sarah Connor from the Terminator… sounds manly right? And they fight crime! … I think…

I found this amazing blog the other day it is called New Dress a Day.

http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/

She spends only $1 on these dresses and then custom fits them for her. She is doing it for a year. Some are really awful outfits that she manages to only save bits and pieces, but for the most part I’d say 99% of the time, what she does looks pretty amazing! She was turning 30 and was inspired by the book, Eat, Pray, Love. It is a really good book and I’m re-reading/ listening to it. But she only has 104 more days to go for her year to be up.

I love to sew, I love to make about anything, and I haven’t made a whole new anything for awhile, mostly I’ve just been hand stitching things but I think I’m gong to hook up a TV finally In the office where my sewing things are and get back to it, he blog really inspired me.

Sew I’ll see ya later!

Kitten Couch Potato Meal Plan

So it was a much needed rainy morning, unfortunately I had wake up early and take a very content, TV watching, little boy cat to the vet ...in the rain, have you ever heard a cat whose never been in the rain, getting rained on? I think it's a noise that's reserved and played on a loop in the darkest depths of “special” hell, it was a noise somewhere between nails on a chalkboard and hissing spitting pissed off. And then he complained the whole 2-minute drive, and then oh joy! back out in the rain and into the office.  Wow the noises that came out of my kitten! I need an old priest and a young priest.

He loves to watch TV, I blame JustAnUglyMonkey for this. The day I brought him home Monkey thought he would like to watch a Steven Seagal movie, Hard to Kill. Yeah, he’s been TV addict since.

Here he is in action!

He loves sister Leela and wants to be where she is all the time. Of course she has a foot of don’t touch me bubble around her and she hisses if you cross this line. It’s funny because so many times he’ll be playing with one of his mice and he’ll kick it in her direction and he’ll go running after it and can’t seem to put his breaks on before he rolls right into his sister who smacks him and yells. Poor guy just wants to be friends L he picks up his toy and murmurs something that I think is sorry in catneise and grumbles about her being mean. I think sometimes he even comes up and tattles on her. He'll come up to me or Monkey and stand on his hind legs and chatters then looks at Leela and then looks back at us as to say, “she’s being mean, make her be nice to me.” All in good time buddy, hey at least she isn’t still under the bed. When Georgia and I brought home Mason she wouldn’t come out for over a week. I think they will be friends. I’m just hoping no body pushes any body over the banister.

Hmm, I don't remember getting this when I was shopping...

Oh! So JustAnUglyMonkey and I have been trying to solve that age-old question and so we’ve planned out our meals for a week. It’s pretty fun, and it makes shopping easy. So now I make dinner eat and save some for him, no longer I eat something and then dream up something for him to eat and make it right as he comes home. Because his “surprise me” usually turns into Surprise! You’re making yourself a sandwich! No, I’m not that mean, I make him something.

This time we made spaghetti sauce before hand together that was nice!

Peace out and Pasta!

Captain Underpants

So I’ve had one epic fail after another this week. I’ve been so sleepy we’ve had people over the house almost every day since last Friday. I am so pooped. I took little boy to the vet on Wednesday and I’ll get him back this Saturday, I’m worried about him, but I go visit him each day and he’s doing fine, I’m just ready for him to be home and see what his personality is like.

The house has suffered for all of my sleepiness, laundry needs to be done and floors need swept and vacuumed. Eh, it will get done, I’m going to curl up and sleep in this weekend, I’ll probably curl up tonight and finally watch Julie and Julia tonight, maybe make some spaghetti for dinner that sounds really good.

So some of my funny fails:

JustAnUglyMonkey ran out of boy soap and deodorant so he told me what kind he wanted, and specifically said no gel deodorant please. Sure okay.

I go to the store and go to pick out deodorant and I get excited because it’s on sale AND a two pack!!! So I grab a pack of Dove for me and a pack of Old Spice for Monkey and a 2 pack of boy soap in the same smell. While walking around I saw that the same kind of underwear that Monkey wears to work was on sale, Sweet! I thought and grabbed up a pack, thinking I heard him say that he needed some more. I picked up a few more things that I needed checked out and went on home. So later that night after work my monkey comes out of his bathroom, and says I love you and I appreciate everything you do for me, but you grabbed gel deodorant. Uh oh, FAIL. Then the next day I get a call from Monkey and he’s laughing, you know that underwear that I was so proud that I got on sale yadda, yadda, yadda? Yeah they were little boy underwear. FAIL.

Yes, Yes I need to have a nap.

May you not have stinky underarms and too tight panties!

Bye, yawn, bye!

When it’s hot, it’s heavy baby

It’s hot outside, like things are just bursting into flames hot outside. And you know what else goes up with the temperature? People’s tempers, coincidence? I think not. While at Wal-Mart today I nearly got hit by several people not paying attention when they drive, just zooming accross the parking lot, I honk to say hey buddy I’m here, no need to be going sixty into the side of me and I get flipped off and yelled at. If that was a public street I would have so let him hit me, but he also looked like the kind of person without insurance… grumble grumble….

Special people are out in full force in their Wal-Mart get up or lack there of. I saw too much lets call it skin and too little tube top. You know I’m all for the larger women rockin’ it but there is a point when you have to say really?!

I saw a man with 2 boys buying cat food by the case, and he looked at each can then put back some and was going to pay and then said wait let me see those, okay I’ll take a can of that and a can of that other one….. and then he went to pay again and did the same thing… it was very strange.  I had a few thoughts about this, while standing in what I thought was the short line. I thought that either the man was very poor and he and his family ate cat food, but then again I thought wait! I have two cats and that stuff ain’t cheap! It’s cheaper to go get a case of tuna if that is the consistency you’re going for. Then I thought wow they just have a gang of spoiled cats! Then I had a darker thought that they actually use the cat food to lure cats to kill and eat them. Yeah heat will drive you mad….

Today I felt like skipping down the hall at work for no good reason, it would just be fun.

I genuinely get along with most people. I like people, I eat, breathe, so on and so forth, so I feel like we would have at least a few things to converse about if ever the need arose, and even if we didn’t I’m pretty nutty enough to blab on and they can either join in or feel awkward and laugh nervously, I don’t care either way. BUT some people give me the creeps. There are certain levels to my creeped-outness. 1) Authority figures. I feel that although someone is amazingly wonderful there is always an air of respectful creeped out, just because of their position. This is not a bad creepy it’s just a feeling that at some moment however unlikely this person has the power to make your day go very wrong.

You have a pretty mouth...

2) Off Strangers. We can walk around this Earth and past many people in a day and think nothing of many of them or at least not feel something sinister about them. Then there are the few that make you walk a little quicker, lock your doors, or not make eye contact. Weather any of these actions have were given any warrant, you can’t help it it’s in our nature. I know many people ignore these and truck along and others that take it to an extreme avoidance. Me I walk the line, I ultimately lean towards self preservation to be smart, but I also like to give people the benefit of the doubt knowing that you can’t always judge a book by it’s cover, and that God would take care of me or I’d be going Home soon. Lastly there is 3) Off Familiars. These are people that you come in contact with regularly. It could be someone at a coffee shop, grocer, work, even family, but someone one that just irks you, in a way that makes you feel so off. You can genuinely act one way but for some reason or another this person gets the creepiest reactions out of you, your humor shuts off, your niceness gone. It really gets to me that a person can do this to me. I don’t like feeling like someone as a power over me, but this last one is awful for so many reasons, I mentally have to be nice to these people or at least cordial that’s how bad it is, because I feel like they are so off that want to go to the roof and break dance lol (Anna) And I don’t only have one of these people I have multiples! I keep thinking am I overly nice to some people that these poor souls are getting the shaft from me or is my internal creep-o-meter right? Just a thought.

Don't forget your night light!

Night, night....

It's So Hot We're Frying Cats and Waiting Till Fall.

Here he is Philip J. Fry Monkey, or Fry Monkey for short or Fry. Yes I have a Leela and now we are trying to adopt a Fry!!! He’s about 5 months old and supper cute! He loves bouncing off of walls and toes. Keep your fingers crossed, we find out if we have a kitty by the weekend!!!

Speaking of flanges, check out this amazing carrot I found. It is my thumbs doppelganger!! I couldn’t eat it; it was too weird like I was going to eat someone’s carrot covered finger…

All I want is a frozen Dr. Pepper; it’s so hot outside…

So I’m a happy girl today, well every day I can find something to be happy about. I sing and giggle, I go about my days smiling with secret jokes to myself. I was told the other day I was stand alone funny. I asked what that meant and they said that it means that when people seize to be around I’m still funny, so that means that some people need someone else around to be funny. (If a tree falls in the forest and no body sees did it really fall?) But most people I’ve ran into just call me “touched” or “special”.

I feel like being witchy, being magical. I love the mysterious the herby side of things. Sometimes when I’m baking or cooking, pretend I’m casting spells or at least baking with love, sending something of me into it, hoping an extra special ness comes across. Fall will be here soon and I hope JustAnUglyMonkey isn’t’ blown away by my love of the spooky. Really I think, the only decorations I own are fall and a Christmas tree. I can’t wait to buy a cinnamon broom and hang dried lavender for luck. Warm clothes, apple cider, ghosties and ghouls and scary movies!!

I sometimes feel like I am very witchy, maybe it comes with being born in the fall. I struggle with my feelings about the supernatural. I do honestly believe that some people have extra abilities. I believe that parents and loved ones can sense or feel others from far away. I like to believe that you can send vibes to the people you love or not so love, but I try to send only the love because I’m also in the mind set that there is something to be said about karma. I daily send my love to my Monkey, when I’m not with him, when he’s at work. Even when I’m not happy with him, I feel it bring a balance to things, a calm. I think that this is God at work. Although I may not say things out loud all the time, he hears me in my heart and puts things into motion and lets us know when things are wrong or all right. Is it strange to say I feel extra special because of Him? My “special powers” aren’t necessarily me; it is Him in me and me allowing that to flow, it’s not my power but His.  Just a thought, and probably not a very well thought out one at that, but still interesting. BUT! I love fall and all the fun that comes with it and I can’t wait for it to get here!

muahhahhahahhaha! bye!

Boom Shaka-laka! Zapo! A Blog!

I haven’t taken a photo of Timmy yet and that makes me sad. I’ll do it, I pet Timmy for inspiration. I’m on the verge of a great idea or story I’m sure of it it’s there just waiting for me to put it down. One of these nights I’m going to ignore the laundry, dishes and TV and put pen to paper or finger tips to keys and let the idea take over. Or maybe I’ll start on my Halloween costume.
Me and JustAnUglyMonkey have been decorating our house and we’ve really got into wall decals. Georgia showed us this site and we might get some huge ones for our walls but we’ll have to think up some good ideas for what we would like….

Leela and Daddy Have No Idea...

So I’ve hurt my right foot a long time ago while packing to move to the house and I’m trying not to let it bug me, but sometimes at work I limp a little big and I’ve tried turning it into a sexy walk…FAIL. Oh oh! And I’ve become a huge fan of several web sites including:
http://www.27bslash6.com/

SOOOOOO funny! Check them out. NOW.

I babysat a guinea pig at my desk the other day, Peppy is his name peeing is his game, but he was so cute.

Okay time for bed, and I still haven’t taken the laundry out of the dryer. Oh well tomorrow is another day. Maybe I will be back with the chicken tree…
Peace out! Night, night reading babies!
