Bee- Sorry to hear about your mom's friend. I've only been to one funeral and I didn't go anywhere near the coffin either.

Nish- Why are people setting you up? You don't seem to have a problem finding a guy on your own! Definitely don't settle for what you don't like. When I'm just out of a relationship the only thing on my mind are flings lol.., anything else and I'd just bring too much emotional baggage to the party.

Taylor- Congrats on fitting into those pants!

leighish- My ribs are really noticable when I put my arms up too. When I first saw that I thought it was unnatural! lol But you can't see them when I'm standing normally.

I passed my test!! Wooo! Haha the instructor guy I had was super nice. I made some mistakes but he's like, "you had moments of brilliance and moments which were dangerous, even though it's a stretch to pass you, I'll give you a break today." :) Yay for being a girl! LOL Just kidding, I'm not a bad driver!

WI is tonight. I am bit nervous. I haven't done anythign to constitute nervousness but I didn't go the gym yesterday for my "Last Chance" workout due to a screwed up leg. I did something to it on Mon or Tues. Argh! So I have to sit out until tomorrow! The race is saturday and I don't want to risk missing it! The BF has has been fine on the "diet" note but I won't even get into yesterday! Whateva, I got to worry about me!

Analeh - YAY for a drivers license! And yes it is great being a girl....we're adorable!

Leigh - I wish I could see my ribs in ANY position! I can feel them though very easily does that count for anything. Oh and some people just hate running. Do it until you finish but then maybe you can find an intense sport that you love you won't want to ever give it up

Beaka - you are working it out with that trainer girl. WTG on telling homeboy how you felt. I had no doubt about that though!

Bee - I am confused I thought you wanted to go. Oh well I hope it works out however you want it too.

Icon- THat is awesome with being sick and all. WTG

Becky - WTG on Taebo! Keep it up.

Dansin - oooo STAY AWAY. You can not get sick! I like running outside way better too. It is so much more to observe. the BF is irrelevant for right now. lol. Aww man that sux you left your USB. That meand more work to da at home...dang it

Bliss - Did you get a chance to try the workout from the article. I did and it kicks a**. I am so doing it again on Sunday. Don't worry to much about the BF they get stupid sometimes! IT is like they are sooooo blind!

Nisha - Things are as sorted out as they are going to get I guess....Sorry you friends are getting on your effin nerves. You know if you need a ninja in crime ...i'm your ninja. I may whine and vent alot but I got a pretty good set of hands. I have to being the onyl hi-yellow girl with hair to waist in the 'hood....LOL


AKT - I hope your ankle gets better soon.

Update: I just saw this guy in the hallway and he said, "You are getting smaller and smaller everytime I see you lady." Ok realyl insignificant but it made my day.

...
 

Ashlan -- For real! What is it about hair that sets them off? The ladies working at Sally's asked me what kind of hair I was using, and I made a confused face and told them, "Umm... this is mine." She ran her hands through it to make sure, and no one helped me anymore. lmfao. As for those bloodsucking harpees, i'm not talking to them atm. They tried to drag me out again last night and I pitched a huge fit and made Mandy cry. She started begging them to leave me alone and was gibbering some nonsense about mourning the loss of a marriage...? Which I did, but that was two years ago when I found out DH was in love with his girlfriend. I've been over it for awhile, and I have no clue what she was going on about but it sounded sincere so I agreed emphatically and they left. It sucked to have to frazzle her delicate nerves (people arguing makes her lose it for some reason), but it was a sacrifice to win the war. I'll get her a ring pop.

Aneleh -- I asked the SAME question. I was told, "Well, the dudes you always pick up are skeezy or complete a**holes." DUH! I read your earlier posts and all I have to say is... do you want a friend to visit? I've got something for Kellan. :D And I knew you could pass! Yay!

Leighish -- HAHA! I know, it is weird to look in the mirror one day and suddenly see ribs. It's scary for a second.

Beaka -- Ugh men. They always want an explanation for *everything*. Like they're the only ones who are allowed to just not like someone. Heh, I know. I have a temper, but I have never in my life ever been able to be intentionally mean to anyone or anything. Before I stormed out, I sat down across from him and was like, "Look, don't take this personally but I would eat you alive. You seem like an awesome guy and you're welcome to come hang with us anytime, but I will not date you. You're not my type." Then he gave me the this-b*tch-has-lost-her-mind look and I hope he chewed Allie a new one for trying to set him up with a psycho. :p

Bee -- I think you should go. Funerals suck, but the reason they exist is solely for the people who are left behind when someone they love dies. They need you right now, and you should be there with them to say goodbye.

Taylor -- Hiiiii honey!!!!! :hug:

Ghost -- Pfft. Nobody has integrity anymore. Age 20-something is apparently the new 15. :p

dansin -- Uck! Steer clear of that mess no matter how much he whines. BF's and kids are like walking germ factories. LoL.

Becky -- I think all of our finances are in rough shape. LoL. It would be nice to be able to take junior on a run, so hopefully fixing stroller tires is cheap. :)

I'm about to do something with my hair, I don't know what. I need the ends trimmed, but i'm going to do it myself. I think i'm just bored. OH, and FYI it's expensive as heck, but Strivectin SD works really well on stretch marks, even on darker skin. Alright, gonna go workout. I'm trying to whittle my waist down to 22 inches, and I want a waist training corset. LoL.

Icon - you should definitely take time to get better, the sick bug has been getting you lately!! 200g still sounds amazing to me, i know the conversion, just to say that high of number is good, but yes being down at all is grrrrrr8

Bee - I'm so happy you are going to get to go the funeral with your family. You'll make it, it's mainly about being there for your mom, so if you need too, let them know how you feel, and just be there for ya fam. Hope you have a nice trip, all things considered

Beaka - Woowho, wtg I'm glad you are sticking with your personal training! It's so nice to have someone push you as hard as you should be pushing yourself. If i didn't have that, there is no way i'd be where I am today! Keep it up girly!!! Your Nashville trip sounds fun!! How did you get involved with that workshop?? OOOH CHES, that will be fun, Good Luck with that!! I hate hate hate how "break ups" are, I'd have to be like UMMMMMMMkay your loss see ya... but no my last break up was freaking brutal, I mean I almost had to file a restraining order, reee gosh dang dickulous!!

Leigh - personals are tough, a lot of times it takes me an hour to get it all together, I just open up notepad and start typing away, but it's majorly understandable to not be able to do it all the time! haha, your Ribs have started showing up to parties huh? That's awesome...I've been doing lots of running on the treadmill too, and I can't stand it, its BORING, so last weekend I decided to just start jogging while i"m taking the puppers for a walk, I ended up running at least 2 miles and LOVED every minute of it!!!! I just enjoy being outside, I mean I take a path across this ditch from a bunch of COWs and it usually stinks but I think cause i've lived here so long it doesn't really bother me anymore, then I pass an open field where people think its ok to just drop off a couch they don't want, and no one will come get it, but i still got home and said DANG i love running outside. worth a shot, if you have weather...AZ spoils me, we have spring for a day, winter for a week, and summer for the rest of the time...not really a fall, unless i forget to tie my shoe! :D

Aneleh - YAY, you are now a legal driver! My test went similar, i totally failed my parellel parking and then he was like just keep practicing, so when i did it twice in a row, he was like OK, lets go drive, yea that consisted of pulling out of the parking lot, turning right, turning right again, and then around to go back to the DMV...lucky me!! hahaha, it is great being a girl sometimes! specially when our ribs are sticking out...hahah JK Congrats!!!

Ashlan - OUTSTANDING comment from the dude in the hallway...that is just what you needed today!!! GL with WI tonight, you'll be alright, usually a week doesn't do too much it's the multiple weeks that get ya!! Yup, i'm switching to the cross ramp/elliptical and then heading home ot run outside from now on! Plus the puppy's nails are getting so long and he just needs to go on more walks, and he can make the 2 mile run, but his poor lil dachshund but probably can't make a 3+ mile run, but it's cool, i live on the edge of bad neighborhood, and I really don't want to run far, so i'll just drop him off and do another round...brilliant, i totally just made that up right now, but it sounds perfect, hahaah! Hope your leg feels better for the race, I know you've been waiting to do this!!


NISH - holy crap, she they did it again!! That's crazy, i think you should go on your back pack trip again...oH shoot that means you need the Jeep!! :( Turn your phone off, hahaha, dummies!

So today i'm working from home for a half day, and then going into work to finish my day. I'm testing our billing site in QA and I have use and outside ISP...Ok, that's dork talk but Damn it blows...Really??? I have to go in to work, just to be there for 4 hours...which is 32 miles away. That's dumb, i have access to work remotely so it just totally annoys me! Anyway!! i'm staying away fromt he BF, he's feeling better today, but not 100% so I was like STAY away, I'm not getting sick! I so have not been to the gym all week and I don't plan on doing it either, it's getting super hot here, and I need to get my runs in in the morning, hopefully I can start waking up early enough to do so. I'm going to die at booty camp this weekend since i've been super lazy all week, i was up 1lb this morning so I'm not too worried, I'm getting back in full blown mode starting monday, and I'll go to kickbox cardio saturday after bootycamp...I'm Stepping it up...july is not too far away, and May is FILLED with birthdays, promotions, etc.

Anywho....Happy Thursday!

Good morning ladies! So I have today off and A LOT to get done...
I need to call DHS and get all this child support medicaid moving blah blah blah squared away so at least I know an inkling of what is going on.
Secondly I need to return cans and then take back a shirt that I decided I dont really like.
Thirdly I need to get the tire on this stroller fixed so I can start running instead of procrastinating!
And lastly I need to work out and hop inthe shower, beautify myself for dinner and drinks and dancing:)

Nish- I know the feeling of everyone trying to hook you up with "nice" guys. Not that I dont like nice guys but usually they are the ones that no one else wants, and aren't very nice to look at! I always ask my friends, well would YOU date them! Usually they say NO and them I'm like REALLY REALLY you were gonna try and hook me up with them....PATHETIC

Hey any of yall have Twitter? Mine is MissFoufie

I do want to go don't get me wrong. I want to be able to say goodbye have some closure, be there for my mom etc. Dead people doesnt matter who it is just really dont jive with me.

Work just got like 3x worse, I recieved some wrong billing data earlier in the period therefore I have to go back and reverse all the entries that I made regarding that billing and then rebill the right information. Ugh, and I have a massive billing that I haven't even gotten yet that these people want done before the end of the period which is tomorrow its just not gonna happen. Grrr

On lighter notes, its lunchtime and I get to EAT!! Its sad i get excited about eating, however it is one of my favorite past times.

cake i just added you to my twitter list

i'm going to the gym today despite my miserable night that started off really well ended with me exhausted and i still cant function yet i was too tired to make coffee this am

hey girls

i havent been doing to well. ive been dealing with a very bad episode of this depression thing that i deal with. between my moms issues and school i havent been doing too well. its been bad for about 3 weeks but horrible for the last week.

anyway,nisha dont play with me it will work on my lil brown skin lol
NOTHING works! how do u know lol give me more details cause u are lighter than me. i will sell my goods to get rid of these stretch marks i acquired on my stomach. i dont have kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::devil::devil:

Brie- GIRL stretch marks are still stretch marks whether you aquired them from having a child or not...mine seriously look grosser since I have lost weight...maybe someday I can get a tummy tuck:)

Brie -- Well, most of the before-after shots you see on other products are of these peaches and cream complected women whose stretch marks are kinda red, and after using a product the redness goes away and they are barely visible. Strivectin's website has before and after shots of black women as well. This actually made the marks smooth first and then started fading them. Like not just making them blend in, but the skin is the same texture and color as the healthy skin. That's a big feat for a product on any ethnic skin and I assume it would work the same way on skin darker than mine, since it also apparently corrects the melanin absorption of the damaged skin. I even got a tan working out in my garden and it's all even. No white stripes to be seen on my lower back. :D Normally when I tan the stretch marks stay pale and it makes it worse. It's like $120 for 6 oz, but i'm sold.

At this rate, in a few months you very well may find me doing the ho stroll down VA Beach boardwalk in one of those Brazilian micro-bikini's. LMFAO! :rofl: Only for a minute though, because then Ashlan would probably beat me senseless for walking out in public looking like a hot mess.

lol nishkitten if you stroll around in a micro brazilian you may find yourself ticketed for indecent but hot exposure (no matter how much weight i ever lose i wont stroll the va beach boardwalk in a bikini i may blind someone lol)

i'm so pale i get confused for being a tourist in my home area lol

Leighish: Wow... I can't even feel my ribs!!! I think as long as they don't stick out while standing normally, you're good.

Aneleh: I remeber when I got my license. I think no one "really" knows how to drive when they get it. All I had to do was drive around a block. I drove like 20 miles an hour! I think you learn as you drive and get more comfortable with it.

Cake: I love it when people say little things like that! Sometimes when people say something nice I'm high off of it for like 3 days! Are you on facebook? If so, PM me your name and I'll add you or I can PM you mine. I don't Tweet. :(

DanSin: It was where I work (an undisclosed gov't agency ;) ). Writers actually do contact experts for info or ideas for story lines sometimes. It's pretty cool. I swear you can do ANYTHING in public health. I'm so glad I went into this field. :) And I guess I should be thanking my lucks stars that I've never had to file a restraining order on anyone. And I see you really are about to be killin it!!! I need to get like ya'll and get on these 2 a day workouts, maybe at least on the days I don't have personal training.

Brie: Um... so you're gonna be the tester for the stretch mark stuff. I need to know if it works. And I'll try to can you soon! Very soon!!!

As for me, today's a really good day. I did end up going to a French restourant for lunch, so I really gotta kick it up on the elliptical tonight. I had a chicken curry crepe with rice and veggies. So good, but I know that crepe was fattening. I'm trying to get my apartment together. When it's clean I seem to function better. I did the kitchen last night and some laundry. I need to tackle the living room and bathroom tonight. The personal training is going good. Thanks everyone for your support!!! On Mondays we do weights and pushups and stuff. On Wednesdays we do stuff with the ball, and on Fridays it's stuff with the resistance bands. Of course I hate Mondays the most. I also started on a new birth control- Yasmin. It's supposed to be better for me so we'll see how that goes. I'm one of those people who has to get everything else on track to stick with the weight loss. Like a dirty kitchen = not wanting to cook = eating crap. Or my room being a mess means me not finding something cute to wear = looking/feeling crappy all day = not giving an eff about being on plan.

Anywho... hope you all are having a good day! Tomorrow's Friday!!! I'm SO looking forward to seeing Obsessed this weekend!!! :carrot:

OMG I still have this stupid headache and I just can't wait to get out of here.

Nisha - Girl you trippin! Micro Bikini in VA Beach! You don't have to worry about me they gonna arrest yo a**! HAHA. Yes girl when I was younger they used to tease me for wearing weave....when I was TEN!! OMG. I got grief until I cut when I was a teen-ager (definitely not due to others) but since then I grow it, cut it, grow it.....

Brie - Nisha is right that stuff works. I purchased some at Macy's ...I wanna say (IDK) for like $100 for my sister for her birthday. SHe had ridiculous stretch marks and her stomach looks awesome now! She is darker than me don't worry. She is probabaly a little darker than Nisha

Beaka - I'mma PM you

Lissa - I saw it. I added you too

Dansin - Sounds like a plan to me with the pups. That's effed up you gotta go to work for four hours. Dang!

Hey girls!

I just kicked it at the gym for an hour and 1/2 with my trainer. Hot damn did my *** get handed to me - but I kept up with it!

This week has been CRAZY and hopefully I can get some personals in tomorrow when I am avoiding my essay thats due on monday.

Love you all
