I donated blood today!

This morning I went to the Red Cross and donated. I was a fast pumper. 6.5 minutes. What a record! I think next time I go, I will shoot for less.

If you want to make an appointment to donate, go to http://www.redcross.org/

It's a blast!

MALIBU TRIATHLON - THIS WEEKEND!

It was a year ago this past Monday that I participated in the most challenging event of my excercise life - the Malibu Triathlon. It's this weekend. I have several friends participating in it again. Best wishes y'all for a safe and wonderful event!!!! I wish I was there with you!

It was one of the most amazing moments in my life. (Now if I could just kill of Evil Kdar and be the Sporty Girl I know I can be....)

Worked until 10pm...but there is Montreal tomorrow!

I totally did it to myself. That's what happens when you procrastinate. Let that be a lesson to all you with or without ADD.

The exciting thing is that tomorrow, Elissa and I are going to MONTREAL!!!

VIVRE LES FILM FESTIVALS!

Click on the image to see what the festival is all about. I am really excited to not only see Montreal (since the Ikea trip of way back when doesn't really count...) but to see foreign movies in a foreign land. DYNAMO! Plus, isn't it so chic of me to say that I have been to Montreal for the weekend?

14 hours at work - are we having fun yet?

Heck, it's not as bad as that night at McElroy when I slept in the office for three hours working the whole night through otherwise. It's also still WAY better than managing a Santa booth at Christmas in the mall. Been there, done that!

I was really behind on that blasted Client P, and it is due to launch this week. She's pissed. (Some of it is legit, some is because she's crazy.) And though I worked this weekend and have been doing OT last week a bit, I had a shitload to still do. I really feel like Winnie the Pooh, a bear of little brain. Sheesh! I completed all the crap that was left to do. We have to have a chat with her tomorrow (ick) and I am glad Tom is going to be on the call. I hope to send her the links WAAAY before the meeting.

Time to go home and get drunk. I kid. A) It's a work night. B) I don't have any alcohol in my apt. save a mini-bottle of Malibu Rum. How drunk can you get off of that? Not at all. C) I would rather eat my problems away than drink them away. ha ha ha

By the way, this coming weekend is the anniversary of the Triathlon. I am fatter and more depressed than I was this time last year. However, I am in a much, much better job. (Nobody is forcing me to stay late and work....)

This weekend, I will try to get out again. There is a big film festival in Montreal this weekend. I MUST go!!!!

Oh great! I am breaking out in stress-hives. Nice. Time to go home.

Client P - what's up?

After working 10ish hours this weekend and coming in early to work on Client P's project, I emailed her at around 1pm. It is now 4pm and no word from her.

What to do, what to do? I will be here for another 12 hour day, because like a child I procrastinated and am now paying for it.

Sigh.

What do you do when a co-worker smells?

On one hand, I would like to go to them and say, "Hey, X, you smell." But that is rude. It's not like I am close enough to them (location) where I am constantly smelling B.O., but every so often (but often enough so it's an issue) I am near them and - OMILAWDY!

It was suggested to me that I tell their supervisor that this is an issue. Maybe that's what I should do. The only thing is, what if the suuper comes back to say I was the one who told? Then it gets really awkward. See my quandry?

No Albany, rain, work

Guess what? I am still fat. Perhaps one of these days there really will be a magic pill that when taken, one wakes up 50lbs skinnier overnight. Maybe if I actually ate better and excercised the weight would come off too.

I didn't go to Albany - rain, loneliness and work prevented me. I am so far behind on Client P that I worked Saturday and Sunday. I did get things done, but not as much as I'd like.

More on the weekend and pics to post another time. Too much to do now.

Headache, Friday, Fat and Hungry

That about sums up how things are today for me. I am glad it is Friday, though the rain is beginning to dash my great weekend plans to go to the Albany Irish Festival to see some of my CA Irish bands. We shall see. I still might go.

Headache and then the choices for eating at home just aren't appealing. I need to go grocery shopping but I do have a roast. That will take an hour to cook, but I have thawed it for two days now so I really should do something with it.

Fat. That's all I can say on that one.

Two weeks, so much going on!

I can't believe it's been about two weeks since my last post. I swore I wouldn't be so neglectful. Well, as you know, life just keeps moving foward and sometimes there is no time to stop and write. I really admire those people who don't let anything stop them from their goals. That is not me.

Two weeks ago, I went to the county fair with Carrie and her brother. I have pics. I will write up about it later this week. I also had a little adventure this past weekend that I will also write up about. But seeing as it is early morning, and I have a long day at work ahead of me, I must go.

I am also going through a bit of a depression. I wish I was able to lie in bed all day and feel sorry for myself, but if I did that, I am sure I wouldn't be working at Company X much longer. Work is stressing me out, which is another reason why I haven't been writing. They want to start up the Wellness team thing again, but I won't be joining it this round. I just have too much going on and don't feel like being a company cheerleader right now. We have to reach our weekly and monthly goals, and I don't have time to sit around and plan activities and fun crap to do.

More on this perhaps tonight or tomorrow. I MUST jet off to the office.

TY - KICKED OFF OF ROCK STAR - no mo for me

Ty performed really well Tuesday night. The band sang his praises, thought he was awesome. I guess America felt differently. However, Wednesday night, he was in the bottom 3 again. After singing alongside Jordis and that dumbass JD Fortune, he was ousted by the members of INXS. Though I didn't feel INXS was right for Ty, I CAN'T BELIEVE he was let go. It is sad for me. I know Ty will survive, recover, blah, blah, blah. But unlike Angie on the Apprentice, Ty's job IS music. (Angie had a job whether or not Trump wanted her.) Though I am hoping he gets an agent, makes a record and sells more than any of the other contestants, I am still being a pessimist. Nobody remebers #6. You are lucky if you remember #3 from these shows. I know Ty will become the success he wants and will be. I'm just bitter that the band chose JD over Ty. Jordis also sucked last night. Sigh. Well, that's two hours of tv that I won't be wasting in the coming weeks! Sigh.
