Friday I took the day off. Such a good idea! I started at the gym. I really haven’t been as regular about that as I should.. Then I went home and dressed in a new outfit. I’ll just admit it now. I wore manpris. Like capris, but for men? Yeah, those. In white. I looked really good tho. I promise. Anyway, once I was dressed I went to the mall for some shopping. I wasn’t looking for anything really. I just don’t like to sit out in the sun, so I get my outside time in the big outdoor mall. Heh. I did end up finding this really awesome portable bug zapper for the patio at the Restoration Hardware. Only 40 bucks! After shopping, I picked up Richard (who HAD been sitting in the sun all afternoon) and we headed up to The Prado for afternoon cocktails and appetizers. Then we met up with Sheila and proceeded to paint the town. Luckily we only got to part of the town as we had to rush off to meet someone. Someone that ended up not even being there… Anyhoo, it was a fun night regardless.
Saturday morning someone got spoiled rotten... Saturday afternoon we had decided to have a BBQ at our place and spent the morning getting the house and yard pretty for guests. Fred and Sheila came over and we enjoyed Fountain of Youth martinis while Richard manned the grill. Dinner was Bistro Style Turkey Burgers with an array of traditional BBQ sides (read baked beans, ect…) Fun night!
Which brings us to today. So far I have made coffee. Oh, and blogged! See? Still blogging.
Last night, and actually the night before I went up to bed a bit early. To read. I have gotten it into my head that I want to read more. I love books and reading and all that junk. So anyway, I figured I’d do a bit of reading before bed. A bit. As in some. Right. Now I remember why I don’t read too often anymore. I cannot stop. I get a book I like, and I read it till it’s done. I was actually up until 2 in the morning reading! Two! Sure, I am closing all weekend, but I really do not need to be up until 2. Because then I sleep in too long and miss out on anything (gym) else (gym) I need (gym) to be doing (gym).
This book I am reading has over 600 pages. I am already more than halfway done. I’ve had it for 3 days. It kills me to put it down. Is reading supposed to be like that?
I just got home from the gym. I know!! It’s been months since I have been up in there. I gotta say, it felt good. Now I just have to get back in the habit of going multiple times a week. That is the hardest part for me. It’s soo easy to put it off at first. But once I make it habit my OCD takes over and I will be compelled, just like old times. Just like so many other things in my life. Heh.
Wish me luck!
In other news, today begins a stint of 5 closing shifts in a row! Wee! I’ll be doing the time warp if anyone needs me…
OMG. I am sooo hopped up on coffee right now. Apparently 3 cups is too much for me.. At least with my new dietary efforts. *twitch* I was trying to get motivated to go to the gym, but clearly that is not happening today. The internet offers too many distractions after a night offline. Heh. But last night was delicious. I was sitting in front of the fire with a good book and a cup of tea. Oh, and a cat in my lap. Cozy! I think that may be the plan for tonight too, but I need to check my local TV listings first. I cannot go around missing my American Idol! I wonder when our Idol gatherings start up again?? After auditions? Hollywood? Hmm… I’ll have to ask Fred, our Cruise Director.
Speaking of absolutely nothing, Leslie and the Lys are coming to town!! I adore Leslie Hall and I couldn’t believe I missed her the last time she was here in San Diego. I don’t know what possessed me to look at The Casbah’s upcoming schedule, but I am glad I did! We are going to see Leslie Hall!! In case you are not sure who she is:
Leslie and the Lys. I cannot EVEN wait till March!
Keeping up with two blogs on a daily basis is a tough chore, let me tell you!
It’s Shel again from orangelounge.ca, keeping things going around here at dp.com. I had spent some time earlier doing important research to keep things on topic, but I am currently on Rikz’s (the manfriend’s) computer, and therefore I cannot post anything whatsoever on Paris Hilton.
However, I can fill you in on an important tidbit: I went back to the gym tonight! After two months of not going and gaining back ALL the weight I lost. Boo :( However, I expected to have a pair of burning lungs after 20 minutes of cardio, but I was only a bit out of breath. And really sweaty.
Rikz enjoyed that part a lot. :D But I’ll stop before I get too TMI for you.
Anyways, dear dp.com readers, I hope I can keep you sufficiently entertained in Daniel’s absence. I miss him already!
I was at the gym this morning workin’ on my fitness when I realized something. All the trainers there are guys. Cute guys actually. But that’s not what I realized, I knew that. The thing is, I never see them training people that need training. I also haven’t seen them with male clients. Or brunettes. Just really cute blondes. I don’t know if I am always there during the barbie girl training hour or what, but it never fails. Maybe there was a Hot Blonde Training Special?
The only downside to working out at a gym is the other people there. Sure many times this is also the major bonus (heeelllooo hawt!), but not today. The first attack on my delicate nose came when I was innocently doing some pull-downs. There is a sit-up machine right behind the back area. The kind of sit-up machine that you add weight to. Anyhoo, the gal using it had garlic for dinner. The action of squeezing her abs squeezed out the evidence of that. P.U. So I decided to finish back and move on.
Later on while doing my cardio, another gal got on the machine next to me. It took about two minutes before I noticed her issue. She was drenched in perfume. Drenched. It burned my nose. It filled the room. People looked at her… But I had to finish my cardio. I was trapped. Now I have a headache. Ew.
