Just some randomness

So, I've begun going to the gym every night (and yes, I mean EVERY night). I'm determined that this summer I WILL WEAR A BIKINI!! As I'm sitting there in the ab machine, doing my crunches, and my abs are screaming at me, the saying "No Pain, No Gain" pops into my head. As that pops in there, my alternate personality, the smart ass in my head, says "I thought that when you are on a diet, the whole point is to lose weight, not gain it. So why do they say that?"

This is what I have to deal with people.

Yesterday, my legs were so tired pretty much right away when I got on the treadmill, and it didn't help that for some reason, all the GOOD TREADMILLS at my gym are all fucked up and not working, so I had to use one of the crappy ones. Well, right as I'm ready to give up on it, I look up at the T.V.'s and you would not believe what was playing on one of them.... G.I. Jane. Talk about one hell of a motivator. It was at the scene where they are all in the ocean, and it's night time, and the drill instructor is yelling at them and they are only allowed to get out of the water because she was able to answer his question correctly..... Yeah, so I toughed it out and made it through the whole cycle.... I was even about to do a second one just so I could continue watching it, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything else if I did, so I unplugged and got off the treadmill.

Aaron has officially began crawling. I didn't want to call it until he actually got on his hands and knees and he finally did yesterday! Until then he had been basically pulling himself around by his arms.
Speaking of the little guy, he's going to be a fun 2 year old. I can tell already. And when I say fun, I mean it sarcastically, just in case you didn't catch that. He already throws his tantrums. It's cute now, but I know I'm going to tire of it at some point in the future. He gets mad when I'm trying to change his diaper and he wants to crawl off and I won't let him, or when I'm trying to get clothes on him. (He's such a boy, he wants to run around naked ALL the time!) What he does is, he starts off by kicking his legs, and if that doesn't get him what he wants, he'll scrunch up his face and start screaming at me. Not like crying, but literally screaming as if he would cuss me out if he could! Like I said, I think it's cute right now.

Also, the little boy has suddenly decided that 6 a.m. is now the time that the whole family should be awake. He starts off by waking up Daddy (who is in charge of taking care of him at night, so I can sleep, so I can function properly the next day) and then by waking me up. Of course, we have to entertain him until about 7, when it's time for LeeAnna to wake up and take her shower. Which, when I go into her room to wake her up, the noise from Little Man wakes up Jennifer, whose bed is creaky and in turn wakes up Adam.

It was reassuring to hear from my cyber twin... whew! I can breath a sigh of relief! I hope you get home soon, and I hope the whole situation sorts itself out for you!

Another update, I have officially started on a book. I have even managed to convince a photographer to take all the pictures I need for the book, basically for free. It's nice to know people! I'll try to keep you guys up to date on how it's going.

I realized today that I have a renewed appreciation for life and everything involved in it. I'm noticing a lot, things I would never have seen before. It's very refreshing!

Well, The Apprentice is on, and it's down to the final four, and I really want to see the Street Smarts take it all the way, so I'm off to watch my favorite show!

Until later, Ciao!
