| I'm a Ghostbuster! |
7:15 Dropped Colby off at school for breakfast
7:25 Dropped Dylan and Ally off at daycare
7:30 Put $20 worth of gas in my van (Dragon Dictation heard this as "$20 working it")
8:05 Arrived at work
This ridiculous song the kid's listened to this morning is stuck in my head. Help me.
Three giant dinosaurs flying in the sky
Two say to the one, let's have a pterodactyl pie
I think I'm gonna eat you, chomp chomp chomp
I think I'm gonna eat you, chomp chomp chomp
I think I'm gonna eat you, it's been really nice to meet you
1, 2, 3, 4, chomp chomp chomp.
Been on a semi-diet for 2 days now and I'm already craving things. Pork cracklins. What the hell is up with that? Although, there's protein in them, right? (Dragon Dictation heard this as something about Friday night. I give up on that program.)
8:20 Made coffee - added Skinny Latte creamer. Yum.
8:21-8:28 Had conversation with co-worker about workout out, motivation, training, etc. Told her my ultimate goal was doing a Triathlon. Ended with me promising to burn her a copy of the Kenpo X disc of P90X. Love that workout. It's one of those workouts that you feel GREAT afterwards. Not like you need to puke.
8:31 Began this post. Then checked my regular daily sites: Woot!, Questionable Content, TMZ, Girls with Slingshots, 9gag, The Daily What, Pop URLs, Facebook & Twitter.
8:44 Bought this shirt from Tanga for $4.99 + $1.99 shipping. Sweet!

| No, I will not fix your computer for free |
9:12 Trying to rebuild old IBM laptop with the hopes of loading Jolicloud on it. Sounds awesome so we'll see how it works out.
9:40 Installing a backup program on this extra admin PC so that I won't have to rebuild from scratch the next time someone decides to click on sketchy crap and install viruses or malware. Just because we have anti-virus program doesn't mean you are completely immune. If your house has an alarm system & you allow a sketchy dude inside, the alarm system isn't going to stop him from snooping in your undies.
10:00 Got a frantic call about a printer not working. Yeah, it helps if you haven't unplugged the USB cable from your computer because it was "in the way".
10:07 Schooled a co-worker in the countless ways and reasons I love and am obsessed with Eddie Vedder.
10:11 DAMNED FIRE ALARM!
10:23 Now I have a headache. Already had one because I'm wearing pigtails today. Bah.
10:29 While rebuilding 2 laptops, I'm perusing Restaurant.com. Trying to find deals here in Houston and in Vegas. We have to go if I have a $25 gift certificate, right? That's totally worth it!
10:42 Purchased a Living Social deal for Houston: iT'Z Family Food & Fun (Chuck E Cheese type place). For $24, I get a pizza buffet, 90 minutes of play (no idea what that means), 200 prize tickets and 3 attraction credits. The kids will enjoy that.
10:59 Just got back to my office after walking across campus to see why a particular student couldn't access a class folder. And it's because the teacher didn't include her name on the list of allowed students. Also got to see some of the middle schoolers playing lacrosse in the courtyard on my way back. You wanna go to school, here, don't you?
11:00 Can't get wireless card in this old IBM to work, despite installing every possible driver. Gonna have to open it up. Yay.
11:30 Made a smoothie at school, thanks to my little knock-off Bullet blender thingy. Blueberries, cherries, blackberries, apple juice, tiny sugar = yum.
12:23 Smoothie was good. Trying to decide if I should purchase my cart on Restaurant.com. I have 6 or 7 items totaling $19. Some Houston, some Vegas.
12:36 Ugh, finally got this wireless card to work. Why are there 5 different drivers listed on the website for this particular laptop? Seriously?
1:07 Woo Hoo! Down 2 pounds since Monday morning on the school's weight room scales. It's not hard for me to change my diet, eat very little and lose weight. I've done it many times before. The kicker is going to be working in exercise along with it. I know those 2 pounds I lost are probably NOT the substance I want to lose because I'm not eating much at all. Probably losing fat + muscle. And frankly, I've done the "lose weight by not eating" deal before and then put it right back on again. If I can really commit to exercising via p90x or running on my treadmill or riding a bike (when I buy one!), I am confident that I can get my body to where I am comfortable with it. I'm not naive enough to think I can get back to HS or college days. Seriously. I was a Division I college athlete. I used to work out every day for hours. Since then, I've given birth 4 times. No way in HELL this body will ever be close to that body again. I'm only a little concerned with the number on the scale but more concerned with how "in shape" I can get myself and how my clothes fit. I miss being able to do any activity I wanted to do.
I do want to get involved with racing more. I've done RunTheJailbreak in DFW which is an obstacle race, about 3 miles. I'm signed up for Warrior Dash in Conroe in March and Survive WW3.5 in Orange in April. They are really fun races, with muddy obstacles and things to climb over. Eventually, I'd like to run a Triathlon, albeit a small one or even a half marathon. I just need to commit, do the work & it'll make me happy.
2:12 Downloading Jolicloud on this old IBM. The .iso image is taking forever. But almost done. Then we'll see how awesome it really is.
2:49 Pearl Jam - State of Love and Trust. love love love love love love LOVE LOVE
4:25 Eating an orange, yum. Also finished installing jolicloud and it's sweet looking. Playing with apps and stuff. Haven't been able to open a word type document yet, trying to figure out how. But really cool.
4:50 Headed home
5:30 Took Colby to Luby's. Ugh. Hate that place. But he loves it. Also, kids eat free on Wednesday.
6:30 Got home in time to see that last 20 minutes of Empire Records. Shawn was playing a Full Tilt Poker Rush Tournament.
7:00 American Idol time. Steven Tyler is the saving grace, if there even is any, this year. I miss Simon.
7:28 Registered for Daniel Negreanu's $11 private tournament on Poker Stars. Also, these people can NOT sing. Awful. Seriously?
8:10 Earned a Step 2 tournament entry on Full Tilt & playing Daniel's tourney on Poker Stars.
8:19 The commerical where the parents tell the 2 kids that they are going to DisneyWorld in a couple of hours & the kids jump up and scream makes me tear up every time. Hope I can do that for my kids one day.
11:00 Still in this Negreanu tournament. Down to 30. For sure getting my entry back + knocked out 2 people, so won $4 for bounty. Need to make top 5 for at least $100. I needed to work out tonight but been playing poker for 3 freaking hours. Guess I'll have to run in the morning.
12:34am Just finished. Went out 7th for $54.62. Freaking tired.
