Clumsiness

Woo-hoo!  I'm blogging and it hasn't even been a month since my last post!  That is definitely progress. *cheesing and doing the wop*

So yeah... I really don't have much to say.  Just thought I'd get myself in the habit of logging on.  I keep forgetting my password.   I was completely lost for a while.

FALLING

Today I call myself doing my power walk.  I've gained so much freaking weight that I've re-joined the gym and started walking after lunch for about 15-20 minutes at work.  Well today I decided to walk outside since its like...65 degrees outside.  Absoulutely beautiful!  Anywho... I'm walking around my work campus and feeling pretty good.  I go to jog up the stairs on my way back into the building and whap out of nowhere I stumble on the top stair and fall TO THE GROUND! Oh my!  That HURT. I can't remember the last time I scraped my knee.  I'm waaaay too old to be falling on the freakin concrete stairs.  You know my knee gonna be all sore tomorrow. lol

I don't know if I was more embarrassed or hurt.  I have no idea if someone saw me because the building has those reversible mirror looking walls.  You can see out...but looking in just looks like a mirror.  I tried my best to get up real quick, but my daggone knee and hand was hurting like crazy.  Oh... I'm too old for this ish.  And how the heck do you fall UP the stairs as a grown woman?  Really me?  Really?!?

So I get up and act like I'm not hurt.  Go in the building and head straight up to my floor.  When I get back to my desk, I look at my knee and there's a big bloody gash on the right one. 

GREAT!

How am I gonna be sexy for Valentine's day with a big bloody gash on my knee?  And I know it won't be gone by then because...


HEALING

I have diabetes.  :(  Yep.  I was diagnosed like January of 2011.  I'm not to the point where I have to take insulin or multiple meds.  But I am on one pill a day...which is one pill more than I want to take.  So... you know... I'm managing.  Trying to get healthy.  The hardest part is... all of it.  The stereotypes from others, the weight management, exercise, the "diet".  Blah!  I've been trying my best to eat right and work out and I've gained 5 freakin pounds.  What's up with that!

Okay...well I'm on my way home now to see if Usher will take care of my boo-boo and drive us to the gym. 

I still gotta work it!

Laters, baby :)

PS.  I love 50 shades of Grey. :) 

Peepin In

Hello?

*Dusting off cobwebs*

Wow…you’re still here blog?  I was sure that blogspot would have deleted you by now.

Okay…I won’t make myself feel guilty about not writing since April of last year.  But like an old lover…this blog crosses my mind from time to time.  Of course I have to say hello when it does.  So here I am.  Hello! *waving* 

Well ya'll know how I do.  I give some quick updates and then I'm out...so let me get it started.

Committing

So Usher and I are finally official. *yay!*  We got married last September and it was such a beautiful day!  I still smile every time I see our picture.  It’s great to have good memories for those days when I come home from work and he’s sitting on the couch with his feet on the table, scratching, burping and asking me what’s for dinner. *rolling my eyes*  Okay maybe I’m embellishing just a little…but I will say that marriage is definitely not a fairytale.  Am I happy?  ABSOLUTELY.   But I’m also glad that I didn’t get married in my 20’s.  I needed all that time to enjoy doing nothing when I got home from work.  Living with someone is definitely different than just dating them and seeing them a few days out of the week.  Sheesh!  It's definitely an adjustment.  And it's not all bad...don't get me wrong.  It's just different.  I'm finding out things about myself too.  Like... I had no idea that I had as many pet peeves as I do.  I'm turning into my mother. *smh*  But on a good note, I'm also learning that I really am grateful for my girlfriends.  Now that I'm married, I want to hang out with them even more. lol  Sometimes you need a little emotional support and understanding that seems to elude even the best husbands. :)  

Cooking

So yeah… I’m not feeling this cooking thing. L  No matter how much of a renaissance woman you tell your man you are… or how much he swears he cares nothing about whether or not you can cook... they all still expect you to fall into that role at some point.  BOOO!  I hate it, hate it, HATE IT.  Not quite as much as I hate the gym….but a good second.  I’m not a terrible cook.  I actually do pretty well, but as a woman in my thirties whose gotten used to doing what she wants to do when she darn well pleases, it’s hard to follow the routine of work, cook, clean, sleep, every day.   Okay…3-4 times a week.  I don't want to make well balanced meals all the time.  Some days I just want a taco and some cereal.  Some days, I don't wanna even eat anything.  Yet I find myself in the kitchen with my little apron on.... baking...frying...sautee'ing.  Chopping....mixing....whipping.  Blah!

I know, I know… I’m whining.  I should just suck it up.  Everyone tells me that eventually I’ll get used to it and may even start enjoying it.  I’m still waiting for that.   We’ll see.

Winning

So ya’ll know you’re girl is SUPER TURNT (yeah I said turnt) UP about my squad this year.  It’s Falcons Central at my house!  Usher’s crazy butt has been getting rich off of these games.  He’s been betting folks left and right since the beginning of the season that the Falcons would have a better record than the Eagles and the Patriots, and would win against everyone we play.  Luckily for us, as the season progressed, no one wanted to bet him on Tampa Bay, and the Panthers so we didn’t lose any money when we lost those games.  And also lucky for us... he's been making out like a fat cat.  This past week, he made a good #150.  I AM HYPE!  We have Falcons flags flying all over the house.  The guest bathroom is fully decorated in Falcons paraphernalia.  It’s great to have that common bond with the hubby.

So you know it was CRAZY at our house last week.  We were A-town stomping all over the tables during the first half of the game against Seattle.  Then we both almost had heart attacks during the 4^th quarter. You have to have a strong heart to roll with the Falcons.  Hopefully they’ll kick some butt against the 49ers this weekend.

Wow… my fingers are really tired and I haven’t even began to write about everything I want to say. L

How did I used to do this? *sigh* 

Well… I won’t promise to be back this year since you can see my track record… but hopefully I will.   And if I don’t touch back again…HAPPY NEW YEARS! lol
