Monday, Monday, laaaaaaaalaaaaaaa, Wish it was Sunday

Today is yet another day I don't want to be spending at work. It is a day I would rather be enjoying the healing heat of hot yoga but once again it is not happening. I'm here at work working which sucks big time but I guess I will be ok if at least by the end of the summer I can stop working. I say at least by the end of the summer because Omy said at least by the end of the summer we are going to Italy to visit for this time of the year but we shall see. I think it also depends on how this whole house thing turns out too. I text him my fax number as well as the info that there is a gas & oil royalty on the house because at some point they want to drill and get the natural gas from under there if there is any. Then you never know if they are going to drill under the house within the contract or not. Besides, not like it is going to be a whole bunch of money rushing in from it the way the guy put it from the gas & oil company.

So I sent him the text and haven't heard from him yet. I guess I will give him until tomorrow and if I haven't heard anything by the time I get off work I am going to give him a telephone call because that is just crazy. Got my hopes all up and then ya start tripping. Come on dude, I'm not desparate but I'm going to chill. I know I'm not the only client he is dealing with. Well he just sent me a text back saying he will fax the paperwork in a minute.

Now I gotta figure out what to do with my husband. He is going to play volleyball tonight and he wants me to go and I want to go but I could be using that time to study my Italian since I find it so hard to do when he is there and plus he will be there for a very long time. He will be gone when I get home and said ok, when you get home and settled, if you want to come come but if not I'll see you at home. I was like sure and I want to go support my hubby but for me that is just time wasted with me just sitting there when I could be getting dinner ready, exercising myself and learning Italian. I think this time I am going to have to skip it. I am still waiting on the address of where the place is. I gotta wait to see if he'll even send that to me. Saying it is at the same spot, well I deleted the e-mail and I told you that. If you really want me there you will send me the address. We'll see how that goes also. If he wants me there or not or will he forget to send me the address.

Hopefully I'm getting some more seed for my garden because I am absolutely looking like a dessert right now. I have no greenery what so ever. It is the Sahara as far as my garden is concerned but once again hopefully I can fix that issue tonight. I know Ms. Brown is headed to CostCo and I'm thinking about making it a double CostCo date because we have absolutely no veggies in the place to cook with. Last night we ended up eating fried sausage, french fries, and grilled chicken with cheese. I think or I thought I was about to lose my mind with no veggies, lol. Tonight I will fix some of that while he is at the game because Tuesday and Wednesday he won't even be here which sucks. Well Wednesday night he will be here for dinner but still. I think I'm going to call Ms. Brown while I'm at lunch to make sure the gardening is still on and I have the right stuff for it.

I'm thinking Waffle House for lunch today. I brought my lunch but I'm not in the mood for it. I'm craving Waffle House and that is what I'm going to eat. Besides it is just down the street and how crowded can a Waffle House be but let me shut up cuz it is around all these businesses and the exit off the highway but we shall check that puppy out.

Ok Waffle House was good. I had of course steak & eggs, hashbrowns, a blueberry waffle and some OJ. It was delish. I was teasing Omy about having to get my waffles in since they don't have any in Italy. I told him when we open our Tex-mex/Chili place we gotta open a waffle place. He said to include that in the Tex-mex/Chili place as desert along with pancakes and Sunday's special of Key Lime pie, lol.

This morning, this weekend....

Today I woke up way late, about 6:27am, left the house about 7:12am and still managed to make it here to work 15mins early or at least 10mins early. I have so much I gotta do today and so much I wanna do this weekend or at least I have a good amount of stuff that needs to be handled between today and tomorrow, lol. I gotta call the guy about my house of course at lunch so we can get the ball rolling on that. I think I'm going to tell him I want $83K for the house and see what happens. When I get home I gotta remember to take the dry cleaning to the cleaners so I can pick that mess up on Friday when I come back from taking Ellie to the vet for her check-up. She has been acting strange lately and then last night she was acting a little upset or shying away from Omie. I wonder why she was doing that. Omie was even confused on why she was doing it and he was the one that figured out what she was doing. She also hasn't been really eating. She hasn't had an appetite much because she hasn't eaten anything we've cooked for her. So Omy thought it was because she wasn't eating what we were eating so when he made meatballs he gave her some but she didn't want to eat it. She kind of stopped eating after the roasted chicken breast from Whole Foods was gone. The funny thing is though if we give her a treat she will eat that right up. I guess it is back to Whole Foods for me to get something for the wonderful pooch to eat because I don't know what else to do. Omy even grilled her some chicken breast like we use to and she didn't even eat that. Well she is going to the vet tomorrow so we'll see what is wrong if there is anything else besides the fact she is being very picky. We also thought it was because we weren't giving her enough attention but we tried to change that last night but nothing. She still wanted to be alone in the bedroom. She wasn't even getting in our "loving picture" when we were on the floor watching tv. She was in the bedroom curled up as if she was sleeping but she wasn't. We got her to play ball a little bit and of course she went out to walk and she chased Merlin slightly but she wasn't her usual poochy self. Could be because she is hungry but she doesn't seem like it because she won't eat. I don't know, I will have to check with Omy today at lunch to see if she eats/ate anything.
I want to go to an attraction this weekend. I'm taking him out to the Taverna Fiorentina tonight or tomorrow night for dinner and then I offered about us going to the World of Coca-cola and then to the Georgia Aquarium since they are right there and he wants to go to Coca-cola and I want to go to the Aquarium. Hopefully he will go with that idea instead of going to the King Tut, Clay Warriors or Body exhibit. I mean I want to go to those because they are here for a limited time but I'm really feeling the other two that is for sure and if Ellie gets done in time, we can stop by the Italian place, see if they have the pana and still make it to do both of the attractions. If not we can do them on Sunday, however the Italian "store" is closed on Sunday so we'll see what happens.
Last night I did some more of my Rosetta stone Italian lessons. It was still a little difficult with Omy being around. I'm going to have to get over it and I'm trying by taking them in the evening when he is there but it is hard. I'm getting there though, at least I started again. I'm not just sitting on it as money spent and I'm doing nothing with it. I wonder if I could take them here at work but I won't even think about it. I will just stick to doing them at home.

I had no desire nor drive to do this today

Today I really didn't want to get out of bed or at least I didn't want to leave home this morning. I just wanted to wake up with my husband, walk the Ellie a few hours after that, maybe get some Yoga in or some kind of exercise, fool around on FaceBook, cook lunch, catch up on my "bullshit" tv and then do some Italian lessons but nooooooooooo I had to bring it on in here. I'm doing this for him, for us. I'm trying to stay on the right track and get things taken care of like he ask. I need to remind him to talk to the lawyer and ask about taxes when I sell the house so I can get that thing started so the only thing I will be working for finally is my car and us going on vacations if I can ever get him to take one besides going to see his family or mine. I won't complain too much though. I mean we did go to the a cabin get-away for Valentine's Day weekend. Ellie, Omie and myself. It was a complete blast although my poor honey became sick while we were there but none the less it was fun. That was in Feb and it is only March and we have been to several basketball games this month alone. So I guess I can be patient and see what next month brings but I gotta keep reminding him of the exhibits I want to go see, The Georgia Aquarium, Bodies, King Tut, and the Chinese Clay warriors. I gotta lot of stuff I want to do and we can also stop by the Coca-cola place since he has never been there yet either. Now I have been twice but I'm down for going three times. I especially love seeing the video at the beginning of the Coca-cola thing. It is just so damn cute.
Ok so I talked to him about going to do something this weekend and he said ok but we will see what happens. I want to go to the Aquarium to be honest and to the Coca-cola business first and then the other stuff but we'll see what he chooses to do because he will be the one buying the tickets in the end anyway. I always leave that up to him I don't care if I'm the one that wants to go or not, lol.

New Week, New Day, New Start

At 5am, ok 5:05am this morning I was up and at 'em. I got up with no fuss, no hitting the alarm and I got started with the exercising. I did 30mins of cardio kick, I plan on doing some walking during lunch and I plan on doing some exercise today after work while Omie is at Volleyball. Or should I say at least I hope he is going. He needs to do something while we are here because yes he is happy but he is gaining weight and that is not making him happy at all. I've gotta start taking this weight loss thing seriously. First of all I don't want him eyeballin someone else cuz I've gained an unreasonable amount of weight and I don't want to go back up to sizes 16-18. I'm down to a size 12 and want to get lower. I was almost at a size 10 when we first moved here but things started to lax a little and that's when the eating habits became something horrible. I mean they went down hill for the both of us but especially me when it came to eating out and the sweets. Today I brought my lunch(Lean Cuisine), milk, cream of wheat, yogurt, apple and 2 orange thingies(I don't know if they are mandarins or tangerines or whatever, lol). I also brought my sneakers and my socks so I can go walk. I can't believe this. I'm at home all day and I'm starting to lose weight or at least maintain it. I come to work, sit my ass down and I'm trying to blow up and that just ain't right. I gotta get some kind of workout routine down too. I can't have my body getting use to my exercises and carrying on.
I walked a little bit at lunch and will do the same tomorrow. I exercised this morning and will do the same tomorrow as well as I am trying to eat right during the day. So far so good on all fronts.

Publix over here

I went to a Publix over here and I was very disappointed for lunch. I walked in expecting the hot foods area to look like what I'm use to at the Publix near me and it was no where near that standard. I was so disappointed. I walked around to make sure I wasn't losing my mind and that the small section I am seeing was it. Unfortunately that was it. I was in shock and it wasn't right.

I ended up walking out, buying nothing and taking myself to KFC for lunch. Now that was wrong in itself because KFC is not what I wanted to do but hey it is my going out day and there it is, that is where I went. If I was going to do just that I would have went to Sonic but I can do Sonic another day. I saw another Publix closer to the job on Atlanta Hwy vs. the one I went to. So next time I'm going to that one first and seeing what they have going on and maybe their Hot Bar is a little bit bigger than the one I went to today.

We just rcv'd a message about getting on Facebook, Myspace, etc. while in the office and we were advised they are being monitored for usage so non doing while at work. I might hit it up at lunch cuz I mean come on it is my lunch but I'll see what I can do about keeping it just at home and such. I guess that means I gotta start getting up at 5 or 530 to get some morning internet time in and then when I get home get some evening internet time in and not let Omie do all the internet hogging in the evening like he usually does. They would wanna pull this business now when I'm trying to redo/redecorate my house on Pet Society. I guess I'll have to find something else to do to pass the time around here between calls, e-mails, web chats, & this IP Campaign they have us doing.

I can't believe you are here

So last night we go to the Hawks vs. Mavs game and it was fun and interesting. We had more adult beverages which I always enjoy of course. We had some bomb ass fries and a interesting grilled chicken sandwich. I ended up throwing half a beer away because my wonderful husband thought I couldn't take it in the smoking area. Well he was wrong and I think he was miffed at me for a minute but I think he got over quick cuz hell it was his fault and he knows I don't guzzle beer I don't give a damn what it is for. But oh well, next time we will know huh.
We took a couple of pictures there. I had to get a couple with me and my tall drink. Then we had to get another one of us at the game. Of course it looked as if we didn't belong there because we had on our Mavs shirts instead of our usual Hawks stuff. There were a few Mavs fans there so we weren't alone by any means but it sure would have been better if Dallas won instead of losing but oh well. Hopefully that means the Playoffs will be in my future. I'm not all that into basketball but going is so much fun. Hopefully we will be able to get Lakers tickets and club access at that because I want to be at that game so bad. Now I think that game would be really fun. We enjoyed ourselves last night and then they announce T.O. aka Terrell Owens is in the joint and he was and he was right near us. I got a few shots that say Hi I'm T.O. but we couldn't get a complete full frontal or even a hand shake because he walked out the opposite way from where we were, grrrrrrrrr, that just blows but oh well. We got to at least see him up close but from a far, lol. Omie is happy. I got him a few shots and carrying on. Too bad T.O. won't be with the Cowboys anymore so there goes my chances of ever going to a Dallas Cowboys game again. I've only been to one in my entire life.
I'm feeling mighty cute and fat today. Oh God, I need to lose this weight I've been gaining. We both agreed we are getting bigger by the minute and I guess it is all because we are happy but damn we must be overjoyed cuz we are blowing up. I'm in my size 12 jeans and they are screaming. I can't and I refuse to get back up to the 16/18 I was wearing. That was 2-4sizes ago. I'm going to try and hit my fat smash back up and see what I can make happen with that. I need to do a detox something serious and I think it will also help Omie to but he says him eating pasta at lunch is what's working for him. Hopefully tonight he will actually go walking with me instead of lay around and sit around and eat we usually do. I think I can get him off his rumpus for it. I don't know what we are going to do with Ms. Pooch. I don't know if we are going to take her with us or leave her so we can get a good walk in. I'm sure we'll take her with us but we'll see tonight.
However at lunch I do see Sonic in my future. Or I don't know it might be Quiznos, OH!! OH!! Wait!! Wait!! I'm going to Publix for lunch so I better get to looking up an address or asking Mr. Gary, my co-worker, where it is cuz that is where I am going I remember now. I can't wait to finally see what their food is like and I can't believe I can't wait like this, this is silly. All the times I've eaten with Omie and we had never even thought about going there. What I do miss is having lunch with my honey. I miss seeing him in the middle of the day to have lunch and just chat or not chat. It's not fair, I want to have lunch again with my husband.

The work blahs

I'm at work this morning and trust me I would much rather be at home. Don't get me wrong I am thankful to have found a job, a good one at that and one that pays pretty well and also that I found it so quick but I would much rather be the housewife, painting, cooking, cleaning, running errands and getting ready to see my honey at lunch and when he comes home instead of what I got going on right now.

We both miss it or at least he says he misses having me at home. Next month I'm going to start paying two car notes at a time or more so I/We can get that bill out of our lives. I would be so happy to do that. If I pay 4 car notes a month though I would only have to do it for it what looks like 4 months. If I do 2 it will be for...you know, I don't know if I am even making the right calculations but I know I'm going to try and squeeze in at least one payment from me if not two extra a month and then keep paying the one he is paying so at least 2-3 car notes are being made every month and that payoff balance is going further and further down. I need to mail the name change information today that is for sure but no later than this Saturday. I want to put it in the postal mailbox and not just the apartment's or the office's out going mail. It is/was easy and painless though although it could have been slightly better but oh well.

My Dad met with that Kevin Wilson fellow that buys homes for cash, etc, etc and Daddy said the dude said he will call me. I wonder if he is really going to call or will it be like the realtors were and either saying some off the wall shit or just not calling back or returning an e-mail altogether. I wonder what their problem was by the way but oh well. I guess we gotta keep hope alive and see what happens with this prospect and if nothing we just gotta keep on truckin' which I guess I'm prepared to do anyway but it sucks working. Why can't I just be selling my artwork somewhere and at least making money that way to help us out in the situation we got going on instead of going to work work for "the man", lol.

Now that I've gotten that out of my system. Today I'm leaving an hour early because for one I need it and two I gotta meet the husband at the house at least by 5pm and getting off at 4pm I should be able to do it or at least I am hoping on something like that. Plus I gotta be ready when he gets home so we can walk the dog and be on our merry way. Luckily we get to take the HOV lane all the way there but still. It is a mad house in Atlanta and I don't care what you say or what time of the day it is. They drive crazy over here 24/7, just how crazy depends on the weather. I can't wait to wear my new dig for tonight either. Omie better wear his or I will have to shake him until the pooch feels it, lol.

I have lunch in less than 15mins and I just can't wait. Part of me wants to go to Quiznos but the other part of me is thinking about going ahead and suffering through eating the frozen dinner that I brought in. But Publix is calling my name since it isn't that far away and they make fresh stuff to buy for lunch. Oh the pain and horror of not knowing what to do and there I can get something nice to drink instead of what is in the machine. I don't know I'll have to think on it. I may just save that trip for Friday since tonight I am having my beer at least another adult beverage or beer and some nasty food to eat tonight. I think I can hold off and make that my Friday treat. I don't even know why I digressed this far but it is helping me keep my head in the clouds so I ain't mad at it at all, lol.

Finally this morning I was able to have my coffee by the balcony this morning. I didn't spend long doing it but I finally got a chance to do it instead of running out of the house in a mad dash. I still ran out in a mad dash but this time at least I had coffee and didn't have to deal with too much of crazy traffic. Part of the slowness was me cuz I would look down and I'm going 60mph, oops peeps I'm sorry. Luckily I'm not driving tonight, lol.
