Taking It Off Together Tuesday #15

This lack of sleep is really getting to me.

Hubz has been out of town. Out of state, really. But he doesn't travel very much so when he's gone?

I can't sleep.

I stay up late, late, late - until I'm about to crash - and don't get to bed until about 2am. I already know I won't sleep thru the night, and I'm up and out of bed before 7am to get the kids off to school and start the WAHM routine, 3 year old in tow.

The problem is, I'd like to start exercising again, but I can't do it on no sleep. lol - I tried that before - it wasn't cute.

So... since Hubz will be coming home tomorrow (hurray!) - I'm hoping I can get back on track and hit the ellyptical. I hope!

Then I can get rid of the pound I gained over the last week. Did I tell you about an old friend (or foe?) who's been poppin' in lately, right around midnight? Yeah, it's the "Munchies."

All Time High: 153.5
Last Week's Weigh-In: 149.5
This Week's Weigh-In: 150.5
Variance: 1.0 GAIN
Overall Loss: 3.0
Pounds to go: 25.5


Check out the rest of the gang:

This week our contest is sponsored by Clara who writes the Coming Back to Life! She is offering a hand made tote as a prize this week! Here is a picture! Oh it is SOOO cute and perfect for fall!

Your Friendship!

Got this one from one of my very good friends, Cathy:




We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us
when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.


Spread the poem of FRIENDSHIP:

1. Everyday Life 2. Words of Love 3. Sheng's Simple Thoughts 4. Me and My World 5. Real Expectation 6. Muthahood Crib 7. Yours Here!

I'd like to share this with some great friends:

=)

The Dark Knight

Online Book and Movie Fan Club


Wow. Now I know what all the commotion was about.

I finally went to see "The Dark Knight" - and am still trippin' off the wicked performance Heath Ledger gave.

He stole the show. Straight up.

I will definitely be picking up the DVD when it comes out December 9th. I feel like there's so many more details I missed!

Twilight | Obsessive Cullen Disorder

Online Book and Movie Fan Club


I thought about choosing one of our recent local book club picks... but how could I deny my obsession with Bella and Edward? This OCD - Obsessive Cullen Disorder - I have. ;)

I've even joined the Lex, the official fansite, and love reading about all the background information on the entire series, via personal correspondence from Stephenie Meyer herself!

Can I just tell you... that the Hubz has been SORELY aggravating me all week. All week!

But I told him all would be forgiven if he could just nail down premiere tickets for me. *wicked giggle*

I have scoured all over the internet to try and purchase premiere tickets - no such luck, of course. You have to know someone... to get an invitation.

Damnit.

lol - I did find out, thought, that new pics from the cast of Twilight will be in the October issue of the In Style magazine - look for it come September 26th. I can't WAIT until the movie hits the big screen November 21st. :D

Are you a fan of the series as well? Add your thoughts to our Twilight discussion and let us know which one of the books was your fave. Or anything else you'd like to share!

My Random Six

I am SO behind on my tags... I owe Clara Six Random Things... let's see what I can come up with:


  1. I have a new addiction: The Twilight Saga from Stephenie Meyer

    Omigosh - I'm completely hooked. Read all 4 books in less than a week, and I've even gone back and re-read some of my favorite parts in Twilight and Breaking Dawn. I can't WAIT for the movie - you know where I'll be come November 21st!

  2. Who are you calling a scaredy-cat? Me, that'd be ME!

    I used to LOVE watching scary movies. But now? I'm such a chicken-shit, I can't stand the images that come into my head at night, so no more horror movies for me. I wanted to see The Grudge, The Messengers and I can't remember what else. The images from Exorcism of Emily Rose are the worst!!

  3. If you saw me shopping at Target, you'd call me a bitch.

    But only if I didn't look your way. If we made eye contact, I'd say hello with a smile. But unless I'm smiling or chatting away, I look like a meeeeeean bitch. Probably another reason why the guys were hesitant to approach me back in my clubbin' days - lol.

  4. I gave up designer clothes and handbags instead of my DVD's.

    Wha-? lol - yep, Hubz sold his X5 to save money and drove around an '89 pick-up truck for almost 2 years. He asked if I'd stop buying movies every Tuesday to contribute, but I countered with no more designer stuff til' Christmas. Amazingly, I held past my goal, since I must have something defective with me and have never been much of a shopper anyway. :)

  5. What does a chocoholic do when she's out of chocolate? She makes her own!

    It sorta just came to me - I had a contact in San Diego who I'd buy chocolate lollipops as giveaways during a birthday party or something. And I wanted to give a homemade gift to a friend for her birthday, so I up and went to Michael's to get started and now I have a whole CLOSET full of supplies. There's none to be found in this small city - I thought of opening a business, but... lol - no time. So now I do them for fun, and the boys have friends who ask when's the next time they'll bring goodies in to the classroom.

  6. And if you'd like to meet new people in a new town, you can always start a book club!

    Omigosh - I was going out of my mind. Someone mentioned it to me once, and I thought, "Why not?" So I put up fliers and posted an ad at Craigslist. But I decided to do something different - and every month, we'd have both a book discussion AND a movie night. Voila! The Book and Movie (BAM) Fan Club was born. It'll be a year in November, and we're at almost 20 members.
For more on this, you can check out Seven Facts and my Unspectacular Quirks. And... if you haven't done any of these yet, I'd like to tag YOU!

In God We Trust: Yes or No?

You probably have already figured out that I don't do email forwards.

But this one... how could I not share?

Here's your chance to let the media know where the people stand on our faith in God, as a nation. NBC is taking a poll on 'In God We Trust' to stay on our American currency.

Not sure how long the poll will be open for... I hope you take a moment to vote.

You know I did.

Where do you stand?
