A woman I work with was passing around a fund raiser for her child's school and I have a soft spot for helping the little one's sell stuff. So I ordered a few magazines. One for my husband, a men's fitness magazine. Thinking of course that we just started lifting weights together and maybe this magazine would have better and/or different info than my fitness...

Today is day 31 of P90X and I am loving it!! It is seriously hard and intense but that is what I love about. I started on the LEAN regime to get started and I am now switching over to the CLASSIC regime which has more weights and a little less Cardio. I am also sticking to the Fat Shredder high protein diet.

Lol !! The set will have lots more visible, in fact some things with teddy bears should be outlawed.

Actually I was thinking a full massage on Monday. Been while since I have had one. Not as wiped out today as last night but my feet are what is kiling me. If I can ever get this extra 100 lbs off it will help more than anything. Have a great weekend.
Well I have been so excited about my new tattoo that I have been showing it to everyone. 
Including people at work. Which may not always be the best thing to do now that I think of it. Apparently most people at work see me as this sweet, young, conservative, innocent girl who would never do something like get a Tattoo. LMFAO! I got quite...

Its funny how often Ive had this conversation recently {Im going to reproduce a lot of the following, because (a) its late (b) Im lazy, and (c) its still true}: Of course, it depends on the locality, but I think tattoos are becoming. . . not only more prevalent . . . but acceptable today. Take sports, or Hollywood for examples. Not too long ago guys like Kyle Turley and Allen Iverson were unique because of their tattoos. Today, theyd be hard to identify on the field or court simply by their ink. Likewise, I dont think Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox are missing out on roles because of theirs. The public is simply inured to tattoos now. That doesnt necessarily mean that there isnt a degree of judgment.
At their core, I believe tattoos are an expression of free speech and individualism. However, like all speech, the content of what one says and portrays are still valid points for judging the character of the actor. The simple fact that someone has a tattoo (or many) I dont believe is all that relevant in current American society. However, what and where someone is tattooed may generate some value judgments. While one is certainly free to have neo-Nazi slogans and images tattooed on their neck, hands or face, I (and I think most people) would appropriately judge them a racist neanderthal, and either give them a very wide berth - or kick their ass.
Personally, Ive never had much of an issue. There is nine-to-five, professional suit me; and there is weekend me. [The sad part is the older I get, the harder it is for me to discern which one is the real me - but, in truth, they both are.] Sure, Ive gotten the odd look from Judges or other attorneys when theyve run into me at the Farmers market or on the street, but few have ever confronted me about the issue, and when the conversation does arise, I simply explain that I wasnt always a lawyer and/or that weve all got to have some hobby. In any event, Im not concerned about it. I know that my behavior and ability as an attorney matter more to these people and my clients than what I look like under the suit. (But I still wont be getting my knuckles or neck tattooed anytime soon

).Well I am just full of love. Or at least I noticed that I I have been saying I love things a lot lately. Anyone asking my opinion gets the the response, I love it! So lame, I know, LOL. I think I need to work on my vocabulary a little and start using some of those other great descriptive words like marvelous, spectacular, outstanding,...

So many superlatives, so little time - - but, being full of love is never a bad thing. Have fun tomorrow. I know how long you've waited. Anticipation sometimes does make somethings sweeter.
Oh, & I like your dog choices - - I hope you can have all three some day soon.

Ah she is soooo cute! How is P90X going?
stcyr:
Awww . . .
So glad it is Friday. The sky this morning was breath taking. Wish I had my camera with me. The day was pretty good for a Fridays but I am so looking forward to the weekend. I finally get to go visit a good friend who had a baby a couple months ago. Can't wait. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

hope your weekend is/was grand 
So, I try to stay away from posting negative blogs but I am so completely pissed that I have to blog this. My wonderful husband has very little family. Basically an aunt and a few cousins. He was somewhat close to his Aunt since his mother passed away. You know holidays and such. Well the last couple years we didn't keep in contact much but...

I hope there is a less nefarious/tragic explanation and that the aunt is, in fact, okay. My best to yall.

Thanks, he is slowly coming through it. Not nearly as far as he thought he would.
Okay, P90X ROCKS!! Last night was my first workout and it totally kicked my ass! I am a little stiff today and the whole high protein diet plan isn't as easy as I thought but I am sticking with it. I have good feeling about this!! 
Off I go to workout # two.

I keep hearing the program is amazing, congrats on the good start.
As to music: you either have very good radio there; or a very forgiving [and/or lax] musician-husband

Woohoo!
Well I didn't really meet any of my new years resolutions for 2010 for various reasons but I don't want to focus on that negative shit too much. One good thing I can say about 2010 is that I am finally in the 21st century now that I have a cell phone and GPS. Yes, don't laugh, I did say cell phone. LOL.

It's good to hear the back is all better & best of luck maintaining your motivation. It can be a bitch, but (for me at least) I think having a routine really helps.
I'm also glad to hear your other resolution of being more "active" here - I'm always happy to "see" you - - whether or not you post pictures.
Happy new year!

- don't forget the photos I'm dying to know what it'll be. DEAR SANTA,
All I want for Christmas is a Barrett .50 cal auto rifle, the best model they make, with a state of the art sighting system, 1000 rounds of each type of ammo they make and of course I will need some really good ear plugs. Thank you much.
Love always,
Emma

I would actually love to use one just once but firearms like that are pretty restricted in New Zealand.
I didn't realize they still printed actual magazines . . .
