Ramblings

We went out to Kobe with Mama Dixie, Tesla, and her husband last night. We enjoyed some Japanese food and drinks while we talked PBB business. It was awesome getting to see them! I think I'm having burlesque withdrawals, haha. Not for long though. We are about to start a crazy rehearsal schedule that will take us to the end of the year. We have some awesome shows coming up and I will be sure to post about them on here.

Today has been a pretty good day at work. It looks like it's about to start pouring down rain outside though. Not surprised, I checked the weather on my phone today and it showed thunderstorms for the next 6 days! Crazy, I know. I've totally exhausted the internet today. I ran out of things to look at and read. Shocking, I know. I should have brought a book.

I've been looking at this website recently. It's swap-bot and it's pretty neat! I want to join it and participate but I'm afraid that I don't have the time. Have any of you ever used it?

So anyone got plans of the seeing the new Sex and the City movie this weekend? I want to see but not bad enough to fight the crowds this weekend.

Oh yea, I'm getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow!!! I'm excited, can you tell? haha Well I will try to take some flattering pics tomorrow and post them for you guys.

"I Want ..." Wednesdays

Another exciting installment of I want Wednesdays!!! Today's lovely item has been on my list for about 2 years now. It's a pretty pricey purchase but totally worth! Maybe I'll get it for a special occasion (hint, hint) :) Well here it is:

Yes that's a MacBook Pro. I want a 15" with all the special stuff added on. If you are interested in all the specs and nerdy stuff I don't quite get, just click on MacBook Pro. If I got one of these I would also love to have this game to go along with it:

But of course that's getting into another Wednesday.

I'll keep dreaming and catch you kids later!

Yay! It's Monday!

Yeah whatever. So I was a total blog slacker last week. Sorry about that...I'll try to do better ;). We are still trucking along with P90x! We started our 3rd week today. I feel stronger and I can tell that I've lost some weight already!

Really haven't had anything special going on, just working. We went out to Egan's this weekend for the Ham Ham Jam Jam. That was good times. We got to enjoy some good music and hang out with friends. It didn't treat me too well the next day though. I haven't really been drinking since we started P90x so having a few drinks was all it took. We slept til 2:00 pm, crazy I know!

Well that's all I got today but I'm sure I'll come up with something better for later in the week.

Juicy Watermelon!

I wanted to do a quick post to share with you guys what an Amazing tattoo artist my husband is! He did some more work on my fruit sleeve today and it's going to look so good. Check out that Watermelon!!!

He also thickened the lines up on some of the others in preparation for the next color session.

Well stay tuned for more Awesomeness!!!

"I Want ..." Wednesdays

I've seen several other bloggers do this and I thought it was a great idea for my blog. For those of you that know me, I'm like a 5 year old. I have a terrible case of the "I want"s. I'm also like a penny pinching old man who thoroughly researches what he wants. Gotta make sure it fits the bill. Ok time for me to get on with it and give you what you came for.

I want...a pair of Vibram fivefinger shoes! . I know they look a little strange but it feels like you are walking barefooted. They are great for all activities! Check out there website they have lots of info about how great they are!

The only reason I don't have a pair yet is that they are sold out everywhere. You can't even order the ones I want off of their website. They are backordered like crazy! I'll let you know if we get some. Yes I said we! Chris wants a pair too. He wants a different color though.

Well that's my I want... for this week. Don't worry though there are tons of things I want so you'll always have something to read here on Wednesday.

Fun Weekend and P90x pain

The few days that we spent at Robby's mom's (Freda) was really fun! She had all kinds of veggie-friendly food cooked up for us. She feed us the whole time we were there. We drank wine and swam in the pool.

We headed over to the Camp area on Saturday. The camp is their land that they hunt on and spend time there on the weekend. Freda and her husband are very avid hunters. They travel all over the world, hunting all types of animals. I have lots of pictures of their trophies on my camera. I will upload those and share them in a later post. Ok...got off track there. So at the camp we road around on 4 wheelers checking out the land and cool stuff on it. Freda dressed me for the ride to protect me from the bushes and snakes.

^^^^

That's me up there holding my pretend gun in my camo shirt and boots, haha. We saw some alligator tracks. The pic below is Chris' foot beside the back foot track that one left behind. They said he was probably 12 foot long or something ridiculous like that.

We saw a snake and Robby killed it. We also saw a deer and both of its front legs were broken so they put it out of it's misery. When we got back to the camp I saw this little stuffed guy hanging out in the corner.

Nice, huh?...hehe

We had a great time over all and we can't wait to go back. Freda is an amazing hostess!

Sunday we took my mom and niece to Cheesecake factory for lunch and then to the zoo. She had a really good time. So a good Mother's day!

Yesterday was the start of our P90x journey. If you had of asked me yesterday about Day 1. I would have said it was really hard. That was until this morning, Day 2, when we did plyometrics (jumping cardio) for an HOUR! It was intense to say the least. There was a guy on the video that had a fake leg and he made us look real bad. We have been following the diet so far and doing good with it.

I'm sore all over so excuse this blog post if it is lagging in anyway. I will try to post some more pics from the past weekend when I can move without pain. haha

Turtles, cameras, and....stuff

I really suck at this title thing. Oh well...We saw a huge turtle on the way to work yesterday. Chris noticed it on the side of the road because it was sticking its head up so far. So we pulled over, checked him out and took a picture.

He's not the most attractive turtle I've ever seen but I'm sure he could have taken my finger off.

That would have been a much better picture if I would have had the toy we got later that day. We went to Best Buy shortly after the turtle sighting and bought this:

That's a Nikon D3000 and it's amazing! Chris bought it so he could take better pictures of the tattoos he does. I might steal it every once in awhile to take some fun pictures. I read the whole manual but I'm still not quite sure how to use all of the buttons. I'm sure it's one of those things were you just have to play with it to figure it out. As soon as I take some worth looking at I'll share them on here.

I checked out the tracking on our P90x package and it's going to be here today instead of Saturday. I don't think we are going to start it until Monday though. We will have more time now to watch the starter video and get the stuff we need for the diet.

We are going to Robby's mom's house tomorrow night and staying until Saturday evening. I think it's going to be really fun. She's a southern lady who likes to entertain. So I'm sure there will be lots of wonderful food and wine by the pool!

Well that's all I got for today ;)

Last week of being a softie...hopefully

So Friday we ordered the P90x program. It should arrive Saturday and we hope to get started on it Monday! I'm sharing this on here so that it will motivate me to complete it. So if any of you hear me talking about "I can't do it" poke my muffin top! Seriously, I'm really excited about doing it. I want to look better and be stronger and I think I will get that will this workout.

I will keep you updated on my progress but no worries, I promise not to turn this into a "P90x only" blog.

I made The Pioneer Woman's Roasted Ricotta Tomatoes yesterday. I was really pleased with how they turned out. I took them to the PBB cast meeting and everyone there seemed to like them also. Sadly, I was too busy eating to get a picture.

Well that's all I got for today...peace, love, and veggie grease ;)
