Okay so when we first moved here and got our cable modem box I noticed right away it was sensitive… meaning you breathe on it the wrong way and you’d get knocked offline, so after a while I tucked it away so that no one could touch it or accidently kick it since it rests on the floor behind the computer. Well, in the last month or so the thing has been on the fritz! I mean no one will be at the computer and the thing will shut off!! This last week it’s been driving me just plain batty, I’ll be sitting online and next thing I know it’s offline…. like 8 or 9 times (if not more) throughout the day it’ll do this!!! So finally I came home from the gym this morning and I told myself, ‘no way am I waiting till the thing goes offline again to call’ lol. So I called them and told them what was happening and how sensitive it was to begin with, the tech was really nice and said he’d have someone out here tomorrow afternoon (I could’ve had them come in the morning, but I go to the gym in the mornings)… I told him please make sure they bring a new box because I’m ready to take a jack hammer to this bloody thing, lmfao!!

Sheesh, aside from that.. I drew a new layout for my graphics site and then PSP started acting up on me… yesterday just wasn’t my day I tell ya. I did get good news last week though, our friend up in VA got 4 tickets to the UVA vs VT game for Thanksgiving weekend!! I am so excited about this *woot!*!!! My friend Reneé next door is making me a cookie jar and a utensil canister for my kitchen.. I was originally going to go with a cute honey bee theme, but changed my mind and thought ya know why not just have her do a Virginia Tech theme for them… the honey bee’s would’ve been cute as all heck, but it wouldn’t have gone with my kitchen at all The colors from the VT stuff will definately go better and hubby will like them better too lol.

Okay can’t stay on here too long, gotta go attempt to redo the graphics for my wordpress graphic site… needs a change

TTFN!!

Oh my stars… I went to workout at the gym on Friday, I was late getting there so I missed the class I wanted to go to… or so I thought o.O! I got on the treadmill and set my incline to 2.5 to start with… about five minutes into it I bump it up to 5.0 and another five minutes later the instructor from the class comes up to me and asks me if I’ve ever taken her class before… I gulp *gulp*… ‘yes’ I answer, she remembers me!!! She then proceeds to ask why I’m not participating right now and that it’s not too late for me to join in… lol, dang it for looking familiar!! Now let me tell you all, I hadn’t worked out in about 2.5 weeks so my body was trying to get back into the swing of things (thankfully I maintained my weight even not paying attention to what I was eating, but not pigging out) and I was just going to take it easy since I figured I missed the class. I was just going to do the treadmill for like 30 minutes at a gradual incline (which is what I always do) and then do some weights for sculpting. Well apparently my instructor felt I should participate and me not wanting to look like a coward or a quitter I went ahead and joined in after about 10 minutes on my own. We continued to do the treadmill for another 10 minutes and then got off and grabbed ourselves heavy barbells (15lbs for me) and placed them behind our shoulders and prepared for lunges…. this is why I was so dang sore all weekend, lol!! We did 3 reps of these lunges (that means I went across the floor a total of 6 times!!) and then got on the floor to do ab work. Now I didn’t think my abs were too bad off from not working out just over two weeks… boy was I wrong because when I woke up Saturday morning I was so sore I couldn’t sit myself up in bed to get out of it, lol!!! I walked around all that day like I had been on a horse for too many hours, lmfao!!

I ended up taking the weekend off to recoup. Today I wanted to go to these two particular classes that I keep missing and *sigh* it seems I missed them again. This time the reason for missing the classes was thanks to Haley who wanted to wake up PMS’y and with an attitude I couldn’t stand… poor Michael just stood there watching us back and forth while I argued with her and while she tried to talk back to me, that didn’t last long. I won’t stand for my child to think she can get lippy with me whenever the heck it pleases her or she doesn’t get her way. Needless to say I didn’t make it to the gym today, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get a workout in, lol!! I ended up mowing our back/side/and front yard, sweeping, and then getting on my eliptical for 30 minutes… I was beat! My legs are sore, but not as bad as they were on the weekend so I know I can push myself tomorrow to keep it up

On another note, omg my addiction to WW is getting bad off lmao!! I couldn’t even think right when replying to an email and got two different subjects mixed up, lol… So Line made me this graphic as a little joke and I thought it was both funny and cute, lol:

Thanks sweetie pie, lol!

Okay off to bed for me, I’m beat and I need to get up somewhat early tomorrow to get to the gym on time TTFN or see ya in WW tomorrow ladies
