Five Thing Friday

Look at this, I said I was going to blog this week and I did. Small wins folks, small wins.

Might as well take it old school and do a "Five Thing Friday". Heads up, I;m super tired because there was a storm last night and the dog and cats really wanted to come into the bedroom. Between all of their fussing, Lara didn't get much sleep. :(

1. A few weeks ago, my office expanded and we took over the the space on the other side of the hallway. Now the office is in a big 'U' and my team moved onto the other side of the office. They really like it, we have the new desks, I have a shinny new office, it's all good, except for the temperature. 

It is so damn cold on our side, BUT my office is like 10 degrees warmer than everyone else. If I;m OK, they're freezing. I'm hot and they're comfortable. The other day it was crazy cold and I had to send them this. 

I found some old, pre-rebrand gloves in the Marketing closet. I'm saving them for the next time they complain about the cold.

2. Back in the day, my Jenny weigh in was Saturday morning. I'd do my thing all week, hold on Friday night, weigh in the morning and if I was going to have a treat, it was Saturday. Then I had the entire week to be on track. Since my weigh-in week starts on Saturday, so does my work-out tracking (is that even a thing?)
Here's how this week looked
Saturday - Thought really hard about going to the gym. Really, really hard, but we went to the farmer's market instead and I was a little bummed about my weigh-in
Sunday - Went to the Southern Women's Show instead of yoga.
Monday - Boot Camp
Tuesday - Spin
Weds - Planned to go to boot camp but they hungry hit me and I knew I didn't have enough fuel to workout.
Thurs - So flipping tired. I had planned to go to spin though.
Friday - Kev and I have to get some photos taken

Just 2 workouts this week. Not awesome but better than nothing.

3. My brother lives with us now and while he's looking for a job, he's been taking artistic pictures of my animals.

With the light through the trees, she's like the second coming of dog.

I'm pretty sure Luger has a stash of mouse and bird carcasses under the deck 

This is Godiva, I am her person. She talks and says my name and it's creepy AF.

Still waiting for Kev to give the green light for me to get a baby goat. He keeps saying no, something about baby goats not being baby goats forever. Whatever.

You live in the Raleigh Durham area and have pets? My brother can take some super awesome pictures for you. 

4. I've been making  my team taste test things I find. It started with the 3 new peanut M&M flavors. Chili Nut, Honey Nut and Coco Nut. Then we did popcorn and yesterday we started on Oreos. So far the Reeses ones are a hit and the 'filled cupcakes' taste like unicorn tears. Sounds delish. I have partaken of 0. Because weigh-in.

5. Saturday I found the biggest Honey crisp apple I've ever seen in my life. This bad boy weighed 1.5lbs and at $4.99 a pound, that folks, is a $7.50 apple. 

I got this shirt at the last Kappa Delta training academy I went to. One of our platforms is building confidence in women. The shirt says "All I need is coffee and confidence". #GoConfidently

Have a great weekend and wish me luck tomorrow! Fingers crossed I see a decent loss!

Wednesday Confessions

It's been a while but I wanted to bring back some Wednesday confessions. I guess I need to atone for my sins. So here goes. #confess

1. I confess that I was ready to call the animal shelters because my cat was missing for almost 48 hours. I saw Titus before everyone came over for rehearsal Sunday night and I figured he escaped when people were coming in. He didn't come for breakfast Monday morning and I was a little worried. Tuesday morning he still didn't come for breakfast and I told Kev to go look for him outside. I was afraid he'd been dragged off by some wild animal. That cat doesn't miss a meal.

Got home yesterday, Kev hadn't found him and I asked if he'd checked in all of the cabinets and up in the attic. Then I opened the door to the linen closet and he jumped out. My cat was locked in the linen closet for almost 48 hours and I feel a little bad about it. At least he peed on the towels which are super easy to clean. He seems really happy to be out and it's not like he was going to starve to death. #hesreallygoingtopeeonsomething

2. I hate Greek Yogurt. Everyone is on the dang Greek yogurt bandwagon and it makes me want to vomit.

3. I'm concerned that one of my employees might be a serial killer. He quotes Silence of the Lambs all day long. If the cops came and asked if I were surprised that bodies were found in his back yard, I'd say no. #Imnottheonlyonewhothinksthat

4. I'm more upset than I should be about not being able to find a Chuck Norris calendar this year. I really, really love my monthly Chuck.

5. I still have my Christmas tree up. It's dry as a bone but that dang thing is still festive. We put it up late and I'm getting every last bit of Christmas out of it.

6. I texted the house cleaners to see when they were coming back and she didn't respond for 2 days. I knew they were out of town but I was terrified that they thought my house was too dirty and not worth what they were charging. I had a lot of anxiety that I might have to find someone else. 

7. I'm hiring a new intern and I can't wait. I have so much crap for her to do and I needed her yesterday. Just waiting for her education to be verified which makes no sense because she was home schooled. Seriously, just call her mom. #thatrefridgeratorisn'tgoingtocleanitself.

I'm super excited that Melissa is bringing back the Wednesday confessions! Go check out the other posters! Also check out #hashtaghumpday. Love it!

Spill your guts, what do you need to confess?

Wednesday Confessions

Hey all! As you;re reading this, hopefully I'm on the beach. My SIL and her family came to visit and we took off for a little overnight beach trip. Have I mentioned that I LOVE living 2.5 hours from the beach?

It's time for a Weds Confession and a Link-Up with Vodka and Soda and Fitness Blondie. Yes, I do a lot of Link-ups. This blog is a baby blog, gotta spread the Cookies Cardio and Clothes love any way I can, right?

 

Confessions:

 

1. I apparently have a love of making lists. I noticed that 80% of my blog posts are lists of some sort. It's like I'm a mini Buzzfeed.

 

 

Maybe next week I'll figure out what kind of potato I am.

 

 

2. I was taking some compliance classes at work yesterday and could not stop laughing at the harassment section. It was so ridiculously fantastic.

 

 

I had the choose the inappropriate comments. The highlighted one says, "If any one can help a man last an hour, it's Diane." There was a section that asked me what I learned and the only thing I could come up with is that Diane is extremely skilled in what she does.

 

 

3. When I get up in the middle of the night to pee, I don't flush the toilet. I'm not trying to save water or anything like that. When you flush, the cat hears and thinks you're up for the day. Then she meows at the door and WON'T STOP. I have to get up and lock her in the spare bathroom to get back to sleep. Yes, I tip toe around the house so I don't disturb the cat.

 

 

 

4. In the theme of disgusting confessions, the only time I replace my shower poof is when I accidentally leave it in a hotel bathroom. I'm sure those things should be replaced every 6 months or something and that just doesn't ever happen. I figure that it gets soap and water on it, it's gotta be clean.

 

 

5. I went to get my eyebrows threaded on Sunday and when I sat down, the lady looked at me and said, "Oh, it's been a while since you've been here." Look lady, I'm aware that I look like Wilford Brimley right now. Let's just take care of them without the side comments, mkay?

 



 

 

6. I can't for the life of me remember what I wore last week but I can recite words for word some random song from an obscure hair band that I haven't heard in 20 years.

 



 



How often do you change your shower poof?

 

Do you have to hid from your animals?
