Day 6 – AKA I Have A Headache From Hell

So I’m not writing anything…

I leave you with a picture of my friend that got married in September. She is gorgeous, and was a gorgeous bride!

Day 1 – AKA I’m Not Hungover!

Are we surprised that this is my 2011 horoscope:

Get ready to rock it in 2011, Scorpio! You’ve got so much going for you in nearly every life arena you won’t know where to focus first. For starters, you’ll have more work opportunities than you’ll know what to do with. In fact, with so many alluring offers crossing your desk, the whole picking and choosing fiasco could easily lead to typical Scorpio overkill. Extreme by nature, the idea of having too much to handle sounds like a total joyride until the reality of having zero time for anything (like eating and sleeping) kicks into your stubborn consciousness.
You thrive under intensity, so that aspect of your ridiculously busy life won’t be a problem. It’s just that Saturn bearing down in your sector of sleep, dreams and retreat will feel like an ongoing thorn in your side should you neglect taking enough time out for yourself to re-balance and shut out the demands of the big bad world.
Balance is never easy for a Scorpio. You’re like a moth to a flame when it comes to amping up the drama in your life. By the time your half-birthday arrives in May, you’ll be under the extreme influence of six planets lining up in your work sector in the Cardinal sign of new beginnings: Aries. And yes, that could literally mean you’ll be working on at least six different projects simultaneously. Just watch that your health doesn’t suffer as a result. Double up on the supplements and be sure to get enough rest to see you through this exciting but demanding time.

If you know me at all, this is all situation normal! Ok, maybe we’ll make it not so normal for 2011! Big changes are coming for this year. Not eating strictly fruits and veggies every day kinda changes, but keeping on track kinda changes. I want to talk to my friends and family more that I don’t get to see, and I want to see my friends and family more that live near me! This is also the year of kicking ass in my new job, figuring out what I’m doing with school, blogging daily, smiling constantly (wrinkles be damned!) and getting my curves to where I love them as much as they love me!

So yeah, 2011 is shaping up to be busy, but busy in a love and fun filled way, and that, I can totally handle!

I leave you with this video from our fabulous NYE…getting our Michael on!

 

Rehab

Do you ever learn things when you spend a few hours in the bar? Typically, I learn things like how many drinks it takes before I can no longer feel my lips, or that the more I drink, the fewer darts actually hit the board. You know, important life lessons.
Well the other night my girlfriend and I tripped and fell into a bar. Honest, it was a total accident. I think we were supposed to study or something crazy along those lines. Somewhere between “Hey, come study with me” and us leaving the house, we decided having a quick drink was a better plan.
A quick drink. Yeah. Like that EVER happens with us!
So we’re sitting there, minding our own business bugging everyone within earshot in the bar, when this guy leans over and says slurs to me “You are absolutely flawless!” My initial response is “seriously??” But after a quick little FB poll, and of course, my Robyn, I decide that even though he’s drunk, it’s still a compliment, and a mighty nice one at that. So I smile, and he repeats it a few more times.
This is where things go a little downhill for me.
At this point, I’m over the compliment, and I want to know why this handsome guy is drinking alone at the bar on a Monday afternoon.
Did you catch that? I want to get to know someone. At a bar. I want to pick their brain. At a bar.
WHO DOES THAT??????
Does this mean I need to spend more time at the bar, to learn proper drunken etiquette, or is this just such an ingrained part of the fixer in me that I just need to own and love it?

Regardless of my inner dialogue, we had a great time, met some fun people, got some hilarious, much needed compliments, and learned that at least we’re not as obnoxious as the racist (against whites) white guy with the Trachea!

More of me? Yes Please!

I have a new goal…to write on this blog every day! I was so excited to start it, and I actually think about it a lot, but then somewhere between thinking about writing, and actually writing, I lose my steam. It may have something to do with the Sims 3…or it could be that pesky job I just got laid off from. Well, I think I can stand to lose a few Sim minutes, and the job obviously isn’t a problem anymore
An old friend emailed me out of the blue the other day, and it was such a welcome surprise! There is a block of years where nearly all of my memories include her, and let me tell ya, we have some memories! Things I’m not even willing to put on my blog. Let’s just say we had FUN, and we didn’t let things like laws get in the way Anyways, I was pretty much a jerk and dropped her like a bad habit because I was too broken to see how great she was, so I feel ridiculously happy that she wants to talk to me again! I’m know we can’t pick up where we left off, but I’d love to see our friendship blossom again. The only hitch in that plan: she’s moving to Hawai’i with her almost husband next year :-/ So, I need to work quickly and efficiently, ’cause I can already tell it’d suck to lose her again!
We only have 2 more games in our baseball season. I felt so overwhelmed and scared at the beginning of the season, and now I’m a bit sad it’s ending. I remember thinking the night before our first practice that I truly had no idea what I was doing and I was going to not only suck, but make every kid and parent on the team hate me. I wasn’t that far off that first practice and game, but I did a LOT of reading before my 2nd practice, and I think it all came together quite nicely. We’re not the best team on the roster, but we definitely play the game, and I can see how far my kids have come. It’s a huge accomplishment really, and I think I’ll coach again next year.
Winnie is growing like a weed! I don’t really notice it until I see pictures of her, and then, oh my gosh, she looks huge now! She’s ridiculously sweet, and sleeps all night now, which is fabulous, ’cause I really couldn’t hang with the 4am wake ups, and I’m pretty sure she sensed that when I growled at her! I seriously need to start working on training with her, but haven’t brought myself to do that yet…I think I’m being lazy about it, but I’m not going to admit that out loud

Well, I think that’s all I have for now…more tomorrow!!
