I'm going to Oprah!!

Ok, I'm heading out to Chicago on Tuesday to go to the Oprah Winfrey show!  At first when I found out I was going I will admit I wasn't that pumped up.  Oprah isn't my favorite but now, I AM SUPER EXCITED!!

I used to watch her show regularly, and over the years I have felt that she changed.  She seems to have developed into an entity larger than life over the course of a few years... She cuts people off when she asks them questions, she says,"ya. ya. yah. yah.", she's pushy and sometimes a bit of a bully.  It looks like I have also changed because, knowing all this, I am now a Oprah fan again!!

Ok, the jig is up, I'm a fan cause it's her last season and I'm hoping she does one of those,"everybody gets a 'fill in the blank with an over-expensive something'"shows...  I'm going to Oprah!!

I don't know anything about the episode we will be sitting in, but as soon as I know ANYTHING I will be tweeting like a mad man! Hopefully She'll see me and I'll get on T.V.!!  I'm going to Oprah!!

Peace

ACCOMPLISHED

I've been trekking along these past few weeks training for the half marathon in May and today I accomplished an amazing feat! I did eight miles with an average of an eight minute mile! What?! Me?!  Hell yeah!!

You guys, this is amazing and I am feeling sooo good and sooo good!! Ha! Wow! All I want to say is that there's nothing that you can't do if you put your mind to it! I know it sounds cliché but it is what it is people, it is what it is...  I set a goal, stayed focus, and pladdow! ('pladdow' said like 'taddow'...wanted to use a new word...) ACCOMPLISHED!!  Before I go dancing into the sunset I would like to apologize for the over use of exclamation marks...

Peace

ahhh, summer blondes we like...

Listing, listing...

 

It's been a busy week and I have had a pretty decent weekend all in all.  The snow is on its way out and that will mean that my summer dresses will be on their way in. While I was week-ending, I checked out past blog entries and ran across a list I made for myself a while back.  I would like to re-visit it now:

On November one I will begin a weekly regimen to shed the pounds that my girl child gave me.

I will reclaim my blog.

I will bring lunch at least three times a week.

I will eat breakfast everyday.

I will read.

The only reason I'm posting this is because I have accomplished everything on this list.  HA!  Man it feels good!  I'm half way done shedding the pounds.  I consider by blog reclaimed, 'Wordless Wednesdays', 'the fresh perspective'? Come on... I did it...  I have been bringing lunch like nobody's business and breakfast is consumed by me regularly.  The last one is awesome and done as I will be meeting with my book club tomorrow night to discuss our second book.  Making lists holds you accountable for things and making lists also give you a quick glance at where you are in you life.  Finding this list and realizing that I have stayed on course and accomplished it makes me want to do more.  So here we go, some summer goals...

-I will finish the WPS marathon in under two hours

-I will find the perfect dress for a family wedding in June

-I will put up family photos

-I will have a picnic with the ladies and their respective friends (which are actually my friends)...

I think that's good, yeah, it's good.  We'll see how I do in a few months...

Peace
