and a few more

one thing that i am so sad about is that seamus now pronounces icecream correctly. for a long time it was asscream and it always made me laugh.
and next, i don't care if the kitchen sponge is the dirtiest thing around, dirtier that the toilet seat or money (two of the other top 5). know why? because its unlikely that any of the dirty things they picked up on the sponge had to do with arse, while the other two, you totally know were covered in it.

and another one

oh, yeah, and to emphisise the universe's message to me, it all actually started a few weeks back when i was at the 7 store pulling jeans to try on. the sales guy came up to me and offered this "we usually suggest jeans with a wider leg to women who are uh, taller." at the time i thought he was trying to protect me from getting jeans that were too young for me, but now i think maybe he was trying to keep me from making a horrible mistake.
onto other things, yesterday sirus and i were standing in line at eddie bauer getting ready to buy the warmest most awesomest puffy coat ever. i decided that maybe i would retire the puffy vest but when i told eric he said i should keep it, at least for a while since getting ride of it would mean it was an end of an era. and leslie showed me her awesome new coat and even let me try it on and i totally loved it so i had to go get one. while we were in line there was a little blonde girl running around who was probaly not even 2. sirus kept an eye on her, following her everywhere she went. when she and her family left, sirus said in a very serious voice "i fell in love with that little girl." i was just like, excuse, me, what did you say? and he repeated it. later in the car i told eric and then i asked sirus how he knew he was falling in love with her and he said "i don't know." we then did some more shopping and stopped to get batteries. sirus was holding the batteries in the car, and eric offered up the hypothetical situation to sirus "if you were in a burning buidling with the little girl and the batteries, which would you grab as you ran out?" sirus thought long and hard and decided on the batteries.

is someone trying to tell me something?

"move sirus, mommy needs to see if she looks fat in those jeans!" - seamus at the nordstrom dressing room this afternoon. (for the record, i did not!)
size of jacket that was xmas present: XL, apparently because i have "long arms". its better than the size XXL shirt the same peeps gave me once because I am "so tall".
overheard the other evening: "those girls at the liquor store made Carrie look fat."
i know i haven't been training much and the holiday sweets have been plentiful, but is it really that obvious?

wow, and i thot i was gross!

i was at the gym today, doing a little stairmaster. i realized i've run like 3 miles in december or something like that and i am OK with it. this stairmastering is going to get me an arse like a teenage girl again, so i am totally stoked. not that my teenaged arse was ever that great, but my old lady arse is really no good. i told my coach that my arse shape is one of the things i want to work on this year.
but yeah, so the stairmaster will kick your ass all up and down the gym. i use the one where the stairs move under you. and i sweat a ton. but today there was a guy next to me. he was older, maybe like 50s or so, and he was making all kinds of noises. a few times i had to look over to make sure he was ok because he sounded terrible. he was moaning and groaning like nothing i have ever heard before at the gym! he was working hard, his cadence was higher than mine but geez! and then when he was done i looked over and his whole stairmaster was drenched! like puddles and stuff, all over it. like someone sprayed it down with a hose. totally gross. he did do a good job cleaning it up and right away some other dude jumped right on it with his gf or someone on the one next to him. he normally doesn't come to the gym on the weekend since he always goes mtn biking and the stairmaster that he is used to has tiny steps and his foot is hurt and they are thinking about taking a walk to the pcc tomorrow. she'll skip the gym she thinks since it will be a few miles of walking.
then i did some assisted pullups. and a friend signed me up for masters starting jan 4! dude, that is going to be one rough monday morning! 5am alarm, outdoor pool, monday, and first day back at work after almost two weeks off. yikes!!!

now scoot

mama's hung.

good grief, its been a long time. luckily, its not too bad.
so we went to a party last night. i was happy to wear my new 100% pink sequin dress. LOVE IT. since it is SEE THROUGH i wore it over a black tube dress, yes i own a black tube dress, tights and boots. fancy. it was fun. we brought our own lemon drops and i drank probably 40 of them.
this morning i was feeling a little crappay. i had some breakfast and drank some coffee and while i sat on the couch i felt pretty good. so we decided to take a family trip to the gym. that is where it all started to fall apart.
we got to the gym and parked next to the red cadilac that was running, had the key in the ignition but had no one in or near it. i took a photo of the license plate and gave it to the front desk. the girl joked - sweet, i'll go take it. but alas, the car was still there and still running when we left almost 2hrs later.
eric and i got on the stairmasters, only this time i brought a bottle of water and a little towel to join me.
i was dying. i started at the same level as last time but it was killing me. i eventually had to drop down 2 levels while eric on the otherhand was sprinting up his stairs. i was sweating out the booze but it wasn't making me feel very good.
then we went to go to some pullups! i took the assistance a little higher and managed 2 sets of 10 but then i wanted to throw up so i went to the locker room and lounged in one of the lounge chairs for a while.
we did some quick shopping then headed home where i went straight to bed for a few hours!

went for a ride out in the rain today. it was the first time i have been outside in a bike since maui. wore some sweet new gear that totally kept me dry in the rain. i was warm while i was riding but now am shivering up a storm.
i also went swimming! it was pretty fun except my shoulders, or some part of them were pretty tight. maybe it was my totally huge pectoral muscles.
the other day i decided to see if i could do a pull up. i was at the gym at work, getting ready run on the treadmill, so i gave it a try. i had palms facing away and got to where the bar was about eye level. i thought that was pretty good. then i did my run and i decided to try it again. this time i had my palms facing me and i did a full pull up!! yes, only one and the easy way, but that is way more than i thought i could do. i was prety stoked. the other day eric and i were at the gym falling off of the stairmaster and after we went to the assisted pullup machine. i did 3x5 at various levels of assistance. i am totally going to get this down so i can just whip them out whenever i want. but i do think this was partially the cause of my peck discomfort. my forearms are sore,too. yikes! the stairmaster wsa gross. ok so i looooove to sweat. like give me a hot day and a run and let the dripping happen. its also part of the reason i like the treadmill. but this stairmaster adventure was almost too much. i had pools of sweat forming on my hands. i had rivers of sweat dripping down the sides of the machine. i had to hold on to the railing since i was tripping so much, but it was nasty. thank goodness it was my own juices because i dont think i could have handled someone elses. i did try to do a good clean up job on it when i was done, so hopefully that was ok.

2009 stats

i did a 2008 stats so i thot maybe i would do a 2009 stats as a follow up. of course it won't be all of 2009 since its only the 6th, but i am so excited i just can't wait until 2010 to do it. so here goes.

no suprise, most of the visits came directly, probably because most of the visits were ME. but some came from referring sites and some came from keywords.

Here is the 2009 list, interestingly lulu pawpi, versions of "wanting his toenails painted" and arse massage all made the list again. at least this time there is no "maxi pad" +pee squirt
