Why is is that when I need to be doing something that requires a little effort, my motivation goes out the door? Such as dropping the 5 pounds??? I’ve been eating so well and attending my spin classes for months now. Then the new year came and the only thing I like to do is sit on my tush and watch TV, play on the internet or play on my phone.
I have four weeks and 3 days to meet this goal. Can I do it? YESSSSSS!!!!! Will I??????
The best way I decided is to make it a public affair as in I’m sharing my steps to reach that goal with YOU! Fun, eh?

Unmotivated Individual Seeking Results
20 JanIt’s TV Time!
25 Oct
Finally my TV watching habit is paying off! A few months ago I received a packet from Nielsen, a company that studies consumer habits. I filled out a survey and pocketed the crisp 5 dollars that was included. Today when I looked in my mailbox, I instantly grabbed for the large orange envelope. Before I made it to the elevator I had 30 bucks in my hand! As soon as I could I read through my next challenge from Nielsen. I will be participating in a TV watching diary. Yippeee!!! Who gets this excited to be a part of a survey?! I do!
Lottery
28 SepI bought a lottery ticket. It’s my only chance at getting a $17.4 million dollar beachfront villa in Barbados. Speaking of chances, I learned in a statistics class that my chance of winning the lottery is 1 in 18 million.
“So you’re telling me there’s a chance?”.
Name that movie.
I didn’t win. Didn’t even come close.
Pancakes and Polyester
14 AugSo remember when I mentioned that I like the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere? Well I decided to try out one of her fancy tricks shown here.
First I painted my nails with Essie “Meet me at Sunset”. I picked it up at the grocery store this morning. Notice how I’m working on a magazine. Let’s just say I’m not the neatest when it comes to, well, anything.
I started out with a brush, then I decided to just dump the glitter on my nail.
Hmmm, that looks like crap. That’s why I’m Pancakes and Polyester and not Cupcakes and Cashmere.
Confession: Smooth Operator
14 JunIt just occured to me last night that the Smooth Operator in Sade’s song is indeed not a telephone operator. Sorry, I was very young when I first her this song. The only operator I new was from pressing zero on the phone.
M&Ms
30 MayOne really convienient feature in our apartment are the two electrical outlets in the floor. They’re really cool and useful until you walk into it while not paying attention and slice your toe nail in half. Then they’re not so cool.
Doesn’t my toe nail look like a cracked, M&M? Yum!
Chocolate Covered Raisins
11 MayToday a fire alarm interrupted my job. The alarm is so funny. It talks and tells everyone to exit the building using the nearest stairwell and to not take the elevator. So I egressed downstairs only to find that the property management of the building pulled the alarm as a practice drill. They awarded those who complied with cold water and ice cream. I wasn’t amused. I walked to the store instead and bought pretzels, chocolate covered raisins and a birthday card for my sister. Her birthday isn’t for another 3 and half weeks. Why not take care of business when I couldn’t at work? When I walked back to the office, the janitor was picking up discarded ice cream cups from the parking lot. People are such pigs. Then I ate my chocolate covered raisins for lunch. I’m such a pig. Oink, oink!
Five Things
19 Feb
- Getting a pedicure with a fun, silly friend at a new spa in town and enjoying the complimentary mini macarons in the spa locker room. Oops, we ate them all up.
2. Going out to sushi twice in one day.
3. Getting a “Very good!” on a project from the boss.
4. Not feeling guilty about being lazy on this cloudy, drizzly Saturday.
5. Friends having baby boys. Congrats, Ladies!
Sharing
12 Oct
One of the first things we’re taught as children is to share.
I would have rather Kat Daddy shared a snuggly blanket with me rather than a head cold. And I’m sure he’d have rather had something else shared to him over a cold too. I wonder who or what object shared these sniffles, headaches and green, putty like boogers with him?
Then I remembered that my nice neigbor shared her water with me a ACL this weekend. I was so thirsty and was stuck (a good kind of stuck) at the front of the stage watching Norah Jones perform. I hope I didn’t repay her kindess with a cold. I guess I’ll know tomorrow if she’s too sick to attend an event we’re supposed to go to together.
I’m having chicken noodle soup for dinner. I hope you’re not.
