Terror hits my neighborhood

Mark couldn’t stop by yesterday so I spent the day scrubbing down our apartment. The landlord put in stupid white and tan floors with a black road outside. So basicly I have to scrub every couple of days just to keep the floors clean. That was my hour long work out for the day.

Around 8 p.m. terror hit our neighborhood. We live right next to the freeway. Last night explosions were heard and black smoke filled the air. Since there was a high wall covering the freeway, we couldn’t see what was happening.

Apparently there was a pile up on the 880. One person lost their life. My neighbors told me that they thought they heard screaming. What a horrible night

What Your Cute Monster Says About You

You’re the type of person who stands out in a crowd, even when you’re trying to blend in. You are honest in your character and appearance. You don’t pretend to be someone else. Your inner demon is sorrow. You tend to get depressed easily. People think you’re cute because you’re rebellious. Your uniqueness is charming.

The Cute Monster Test

Colors that men love

The University of Rochester psychologist did a sturdy on men’s attitudes towards women fashion colors. The winner? Red

They say that it’s because it’s the color of passsion and lust. Guys what do you say? What color dress attracts you the most.

Personally, I think men are attracted to the different shades of flesh. It doesn’t matter what color a woman is wearing if she is showing a little skin…..

Proposition allowing gay marriage to be taught in schools

Can you believe the commercials that are against the proposition of gay marriage? The latest one is that grade school children where taken to a marriage of a gay couple. Come on now! Think back to grade school. When you were a child, you did not go anywhere without a parential consent form being signed by your parent.

With the way that public schools are packed these days, there is no way that 30-40 students forged their parents signiture to go to this supposed wedding.

I wonder how many people are believing the crock pot that is being fed to them? Do they actually listen to the commercial or do they just see this innocent little girl holding flowers in an uncomfortable situation.

If it was true why didn’t you bring up a newspaper article reporting the fuss that parents made over the situation. Knights of Columbus, thanks for feeding the economy with your commercial but you really have to point out the facts.

First day with trainer in San Jose, California

I knew the trainer was coming by at 8am, so I got up at 6:30 to make sure that I had enough time to wake up. It’s not a paid trainer but just as bad. My uncle got whiff of the fact that I was really trying to lose weight and gave my telephone number to his buddy Mark.

Mark knocks on my door near 8am and tells me that we are going for a walk. While we walk around San Jose, California we end up talking about why I want to lose the weight, what I have been doing so far, and how I see myself in the future.

We talked about how BMI and the scale isn’t really a great way to tell how healthy a person is. Mark’s goals is to get me down to a size 26 and then ultimately down to a size 12. By the time that we are done he also want me to be able to run a one mile run in ten minutes.

This where I take a big gulp because I just don’t see it happening. I’m going to push my body to the limit till I collapse but I don’t see myself running a mile in ten minutes.

We were talking about goals so much that I didn’t realize that we had put in a 1.5 mile walk at my pace.

Egads….He wanted to see my kitchen. Thank god it’s the end of the month and I hadnt done the monthly grocery shopping yet. He made me throw out the canned chili and top ramien. That’s just not fair. I love top ramien noodles mixed with chili. It’s like my comfort food.

So we sat down and made a list of what MJ and I usually eat. Mark said I was on the right track but I needed to get more calories, vegetables, fruit, and dairy in my diet. Next week I’m to report that I ate:

2000 calories a day
More vegetables
More fruit
More dairy or foods high in calcium

I’m going to be in pain tomorrow night. I was told that I better plan meals and organize my house because after my PT is done, I’m not going to want to do anything but shower and nap.

Thanks Uncle M. you didn’t tell me that Mark was an retired Marine and Police Officer. I decided to sneek a peek at what a female Marine is required to do at entrance.
45 crunches in a minute
20 complete pull ups
1 mile in 10.6 minutes and/or 3 miles in 32 minutes

Yes, I am in so much trouble

A shrinking Journey IV

M.J 225.5
C.E. 477

M.J. Starting Weight 231
C.E. Starting Weight 485

Woooohoooo as a family we have lost weight. Total weight loss as a family 14 pounds. I’m sure now that we both are starting a swimming program that the weight will come off even faster.

At least I hope that it does. I’m so tired of being tired all the time. I know that there is more to life than computers and television because I’ve experienced some of it before. I want to be able to have the energy to travel around to the neat activities in my state, city, and country.

It was really hard getting M.J. to start a swimming program because he is really active at work. I think it’s needed though because his body will get use to the warehouse work. He can still run circles around me though. That’s ok one of these days Ill be running circles around him.

Sunday Income Stats

A quiet week indeed! Mostly spent writing and learning how to build things in Second Life. I don’t think I’ll ever be as good as the SL denziens who are able to create a store to fit on one complete sim.

It’s fun to learn how to build shoes, skirts, and jewelry. I think this week I’ll be working on how to build hair.

So heres the stats
$14.00 for blogging on Today.com
$17.00 at Associated Content
$3.00 for Associated Content page views

$34.00 in total. Not bad for the first week. At least the nonprofit savings account will get $24.00 put in it. Boy do I have a long way to go to reach my grand total.

Only men are ram tough?

What is Dodge trying to say by sponsoring America’s Toughest Jobs and then not putting a female team in their commercials. Two females are tough enough to make it to the bottom four and three by working grueling jobs but you only see men racing around the dusty track.

Kinda sexist don’t you think?

I’m happy that someone won the $298,000 though I would have loved to see Sandy or Michela take it all. That stupid cast! If Sandy had full hand control I know the times would have been closer than 13 seconds.

Ben enjoy your new house and truck!

Strange dream of cars

I don’t know if I got any sleep last night all. Everything seems to be bits and pieces of a dream. The part that I remember in detail is being part of a team working on a new car engine or system that would easily allow mechanics to life an engine out of the body of a car.

It’s a shame that I couldnt remember the full details.

I guess the dream was about improvements because I also remember having to go to the bathroom, then talking with a woman on how to improve something in the bathroom stalls.

So what does my trusty dream dictionary say?
Black office table – forecasts an improved status due to intellectual achievements (snickers)
Stopped Engine – forecasts certain success in your endeavors, although you may have a few obstacles along the way
Having to go to the bathroom – release from tension and/or worry

Here’s some quarky info: According to ancient oracles , urine is a symbol of increasing creative power and/or strength.

I wonder why?

The three of swords

I don’t know when people started looking at playing cards as a form of divination but I have to say that I love my daily email from Astrology.com. Each day I received a tarot card sent to my inbox. Most days I try to figure out what I can do to improve my life while other days I just don’t have a clue.

Today is the three of swords

“The Three of Swords card suggests that my power today lies in truth or consequences. Denial or control is no longer an option and I am ready to experience a breakthrough. My suffering, fear, or emotional loss is/was valid, incredible and deserves to be acknowledged and expressed in order to heal or transform the sacrifice. I am empowered by recognition and my virtue is choice.”

Hmmm. turn my suffering, fear, or emotional loss into a transformation. I guess I better start working on those articles about dealing with mental diseases in the home.

I wonder how our Presidential and Vice President candidates will deal with truth and consequences today. Voters still have time to dig into what each candidate has supported and not supported. I mean come on, fifteen thousand dollars to dress up Vice President candidate Palin.

In some places that amount of money could feed 30,000 for a day.
