Jen's Diary of Random Stuff

hey :) thanks for your kind words in another post...the one about dumb things people say. Thought I'd swing by and say hi. I noticed you live in Michigan...I live in Ohio now with my hubby so not that far. I used to live on the west coast though and this summer I'm sure missing the weather. All it's done is rain. well I'm off to start my day, hope yours goes well :)

You're very welcome and thanks for stopping by. :) It's been raining here too...we've gotten some pretty good storms over the last few days...I LOVE thunderstorms....but I hate the muggy humid weather that follows them. You can take a shower...dry off....and still be wet....it's just yucky....lol!

In better news....I got to sleep in today! Yay! Summer vacation ROCKS! :D I'm seriously not a morning person....lol! I'm normally a very sweet and nice person....but you wake me up in the morning.....and....well .....let's just say I'm not so sweet and nice....hahaha! Sleeping in on a Monday was niiiiice...lol!

I didn't end up doing the treadmill today, but I did do a lot of housework and that counts for something...right? Just agree with me..lol. Oh, and I also went grocery shopping today and got some healthy snacks and stuff...so that was good.

I hope everyone has a great week! :)
 
The sun is shining ...the birds are chirping....my workout is done for the day...aaah it's a good day. I feel really good today. I feel really confident right now about dropping some pounds and some other issues that have been going on in my life. My head and my heart are a lot clearer now and that is definitely helping with my emotional eating. I've been eating like a little piggy :piggy: lately because of all the shit going on in my personal life. Not anymore though....decisions have been made....and I think they are all for the best. Decisions that should of been made years ago, and weren't. You can only take something for so long, ya know? And, I'm done taking it. I'm done pretending that things are the way they should be. I'm done being ignored. I'm just done. It feels really good to have a clear head and a clear heart. I know what I want and need to make myself happy.....and I'm going to get it. So here's to a new life....one with love and happiness...and hopefully a smaller ass. :smilielol5:
 
LMAO, you are priceless. I was all into your motivational speaking, mentally cheering for ya as I was reading going in my head "yea, you go girl!" then I read that last part. It snuck up on me and I about fell out my chair laughing, lol.
 
Hope everything works out for you Jen!

Sounds like you are on track for some happiness!

Happy place! Happy place!

Have a great nite!
 
Aww...thanks guys! I appreciate all the kind words. I definitely am feeling really good about things.....REALLY good. :)

I hope everyone has a great night!
 
I just got off the treadmill a little while ago...I seriously need to go take a shower, but I sat down...that was a BIG mistake....and NCIS is on. I seriously think it's possible to turn on the tv at any time during the day and find that show on at least one channel. Seriously! I'm pretty sure! hahaha! It's aaaaaaaalways on! I'm fine with that though...it's a good show...and I never get tired of Abby....hahaha! Love her!


Aaaaanyway.....Today is Father's day. My dad is no longer with us...so today is always a little bit sad for me. I'll be ok though. I just hope everyone that does still have a dad that they can hug...does just that. Give them a big hug and tell them you love them. Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!
 
HMMM...my plans for the day? Cleaning up pee. hahahha! I know! Sounds like fun, huh??!! Siiiigh...I hate potty training. My son is 3 and has some delays..mostly speech...he's just starting to talk...so he won't/can't tell me when he has to go. I've tried getting him to show me...ya know..point or something..and that hasn't worked...so yeah...should be a FUN day..hahahaha. I've tried training a couple times and both times it didn't work out. Today were trying again though...so wish me luck! He's in his Spongebob underwear and thinking his pretty damn cool at the moment..hahahaha! Hey, at least I'll get a little exercise running him to the bathroom. :rolleyes:

I hope everyone has a good day!
 
Ok...so potty training is not going well again....big surprise. We'll just keep working on it though...he'll get it eventually......I hope..hahaha!

In brighter news.....my mother is one of those people that orders things that she sees in informercials all the time....especially dieting things...particularly exercise stuff (and then fails to use it, of course). Well anyway.....her latest purchase......THE SHAKE WEIGHT! hahhahaha! You all know what I'm talking about. The one that looks like you're ummmm.... hahahaha...doing something naughty.:D Oh, this is going to provide me with so much entertainment...I can't wait til it gets here... :smilielol5:
 
I'm tired...I also feel like crap. I ate HORRIBLY yesterday. Saturday was another emotional day....and I let that totally take over my eating...bad, bad, bad...I know..ugh! It turned out not too bad in the end...but still got all kinds of things stirring in my head...soooooo of course I wanted to eat.....sooooo I did....SIIIIGH. I hate that I do that. :banghead:

I also found these frozen strawberry daiquiri things at the store....they already have the alcohol in them...you just pop em in the freezer for a while..take em out...mush em around a little bit and pour em in a glass....OMG they are so good...they're also like 300 calories a pop..hahaha...WHY did I have to try them??? I'm definitely going to have to figure in calories for those every once in a while....or every night :blush5:.......HAHAHA!

Anyways....back to the grind tomorrow. I need to make out a grocery list and pick some stuff up from the store. I also need to get back on the treadmill. I haven't done that in a couple days...so that's definitely on my to-do list for tomorrow. I also have to do the mountain of laundry in the bathroom....unless someone wants to come do it for me? Any takers???? Coooome on??? Pretty Please??? OK FINE...GEESH...I'll do it myself! :cry:(Did the crying smilie work? No? It didn't? Damn you people!! hahahaha!)

So I've been rocking out to the Fresh Beat Band all morning. If you don't know who the Fresh Beat Band are ...google at your own risk...HAHAHA! They are a kids band...my 6 year old daughter LOVES them. Her routine for the past few days has been. Wake up, wake me up, start the computer, go to the Nickelodeon site, and then blare the Fresh Beat Band for like 2 hours while her and her brother jump around the living room like they're rock stars, complete with a guitar and a kaleidoscope for a microphone..HAHAHA....siiiiiigh...Kids..ya gotta love em.

I'm about to go jump on the treadmill...ok maybe not JUMP on it...I'll just step on it...I'd hate to break the damn thing..HAHAHA! Then I'm going to get lunch and get some work done around the house...it looks like a tornado went through here...seriously it's bad...I really need to fire the maid...she sucks. :blush5:

Thank you! I am sticking with it this time. I feel pretty good about stuff. I haven't been perfect...but I'm definitely staying on track for the most part...so I'm happy with that. Hey, thanks for stopping by! Feel free to drop in whenever....I love visitors. :D
 
:patriot: Happy Fourth of July everyone! :patriot:


So today is the Fourth of July....a day to eat burgers on the grill, and shoot off fireworks, and maybe have a drink or two. I'm thinking daiquiris! MMM..:drool5:

As much as I love the holiday, I can't wait for it to be over. I live in a town that's overrun by tourists, or what we call "fudgies" every year. It's beautiful here, lots of lakes, so a LOT of people come here. Can't really blame them..lol It's good for local business and stuff, but seriously I can't wait til it's over and I don't have to wait 20 minutes just to pull out onto the road..hahaha. Seriously it's bad this year.....I went to the store the other day and I kid you not, had to wait in line just to get pork chops...and it wasn't a small line either..lol!

It's a fun weekend though....Gonna get some little fireworks and sparklers and stuff to do in the driveway with the kids. They always love that....and so do I. I love sparklers..hahaha...Aaaanyways...I hope everyone is having a fun and safe weekend! :)
 
Just got off the treadmill. Note to self....Get one of those clippy fans to hook on the treadmill for the days when it's like 90 degrees out...hahhaha...OMG IT'S HOT! :ack2: Ok...that's all I wanted to say.....later!

Get the kids to spit on you while you're on the treadmill. I heard it helps.

hahhaha...ewwww..you sicko..that's gross! I'd much prefer YOU spit on me...hahaha..WHAT? I didn't say that:blush5:....nevermind...hahaha!


Soooooo...today is another hot day....the house is like a sauna....I'm thinking about going out and sitting under the sprinkler in the front yard.. Seriously I might....I've done it before..lol!

I'm going to set up my fan pointing directly at the treadmill when I get on there today...lol! Hopefully that will make it tolerable. Diet wise...it's been so hot, that the only foods that sounds good are cold foods....and it's too hot to turn the oven on anyways..so that works.....AND I hate cooking so it's that's really good!! So...I guess there IS something good to come out of all this heat..hahaha!
