Here are the last 25 questions: 26. Do you like someone? Of course... Toxic niceness is a disease I need the cure for. And while I like some people more than others I generally like everyone even if they don't deserve it... 27. The last song you listened to? Feeling Good by Nina Simone...it's my new theme song... 28.

So I have been blog blocked lately and while I really want to blog, I have little creativity to spare these days. My favorite blogger on the planet The Queen has once again provided me with inspiration...I loved this idea as it makes me think about me for once... 25 of 50 Random questions.... 1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought? Ugh....it's 5

Vacation!!!

Va·ca·tion play_w2("V0001800") (v-kshn)- according to Webster's Dictionary, is defined as a period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation. We take a vacation every summer. Our annual trip usually involves going to California. Sometimes it is just to Disneyland, just to the beach, or both. Every year, I spend weeks preparing to be off work for a week, arranging for someone to watch our

8 of my favorite things...

2011-06-07T22:49:00.000-07:00

My BFF the Queen always has such great blog ideas so I'm totally stealing this from her. I haven't blogged in a while. Now that I am newly self diagnosed insomniac, I thought blogging would help clear my head so I can get more than 4 hours of continuous sleep....so here goes, 8 of my favorite things..why 8? Well, 8 has always been my lucky number, so it fits. Kind of like my shoe size in 5th

Someday....

2011-05-18T18:56:00.000-07:00

Are you one of those people who needs to know why things happen? To have complete control over a situation or it drives you nuts? Constantly question why? Are impatient to know what your future holds when you know what you want it to hold? Or worse, wonder why "bad" things happen to you or others? No? Well you are one lucky SOB! One of my biggest challenges in life is to question everything! I

Happy Mother's Day...

2011-05-08T00:31:00.000-07:00

For the last 5 years, I have dreaded this "holiday"...I walk right past the ginormous display of Mother's Day cards and immediately delete the emails reminding me that Mother's Day is MayXX and links to finding the perfect Mother's Day gift... This is my mom....wasn't she beautiful? She was 20 years old in this picture...People say I look very much like her in this picture. My mom passed away

2011-04-29T15:40:00.000-07:00

I had my monthly visit to my natural path today. They have been treating my thyroid condition for about a year which my general physician was under treating! I truly believe that finding naturalpathic medicine has changed my life this last year. They focus on the ENTIRE person and treat the root cause of your problem, not just the symptoms. So, I have to get my blood tested every month to ensure

There are benefits to a mammogram other than early cancer detection...who knew?

2011-04-28T13:33:00.002-07:00

I used to say...OMG, I'm going to be 30!...my 30's turned out to be my favorite decade. After turning 30, I realized I wasn't a fan of my 20's...I used to say OMG I'm going to be 40!...and while age really never bothered me, because I never looked or felt my true age, 40 seemed a bit intimidating to me...but, I have to tell you, I LOVE being 40! 40 feels sexy! I'm coming into myself. I feel good.

Hello gorgeous!!

2011-04-27T11:16:00.000-07:00

Have you ever lost something important but did not realize how much you valued it until you found it again? You never even knew it was missing until it turned up unexpectedly one day and the feeling of absolute joy took over? You immediately missed it and swore to never again let it out of your sight? That is what happened when I looked in the mirror today. I was getting ready for work, running

Some day...

2011-04-12T10:54:00.000-07:00

Yes, I realize i have sucked at blogging the last few months. It isn't that I haven't wanted to put my thoughts down on "paper" or share with everyone. It's more like I can't pick just ONE thing to share. There is so much going on in my life right now, I can't focus. My head is like one of those spinners that comes in a children's game...however this spinner NEVER lands on a number telling me

The kindness of strangers...

2011-02-13T13:58:00.000-07:00

Today I went to Costco with my two kids. Now, I would rather take a hot poker in my eye than brave Costco on a weekend! People are rude, unaware of anyone but themselves, and deadly with their shopping carts. (See scar on the back of my heel some psycho caused by running into me at 30mph...didn't even stop to apologize as I stood there gushing blood!) Anyway, I bought a new 37 inch TV today (see

2011-02-05T08:42:00.000-07:00

Technology is incredible isn't it? It has taken us to the moon, cured diseases, put us in constant contact with family, friends, and the world in general...what it has also done is make us a little lazy... Lulled us into relying on devices to solve problems as opposed to using good old common sense... Point? What was my point? Ah yes, my car remote... Sorry, a bit ADHD today! I bought my first

Filter? What the hell is it and how do I get one?

2011-02-04T18:42:00.000-07:00

Seriously! I have a chronic disease. In layman's terms it is called diarrhea of the mouth. By definition it means spewing forth every thought and feeling in your head without hesitation resulting in complete embarrassment, regret, and hurt feelings. The root cause is that I feel EVERYTHING! And because I feel everything, my mind is constantly running. I cannot shut it off no matter how hard I

Getting in Touch with your Inner Bitch

2011-01-27T14:14:00.001-07:00

So my BFF bought me one of those "page a day" calendars. A GREAT one at that! It is titled appropriately for me...Getting in Touch with your Inner Bitch. This little gem has me looking forward to coming into the office every day to see what the daily advice is. Thought I would share a couple of my favorites with you! Enjoy! 1.

It is what it is..

2011-01-25T09:17:00.000-07:00

Do you have a phrase that just bugs the crap out of you? My BFF hates the over use of LOL, LMAO, and any other term that hides the way people are actually feeling. I can see her point. Generally, there aren't many things that people say that bother me...until now... The term "it is what it is" is not a phrase of acceptance, rather one of defeat. I am guilty of using this term myself. I use it

Reflection of a decade...

2011-01-23T11:48:00.001-07:00

HELLOOOO!!! Yes, it has been 5 months since I have last updated this blog. It has been a crazy few months to say the least. So many wonderful and very sad things have happened to me since September. I lost 30 pounds, watched my first niece get married to an amazing man and start her life as a married woman, received incredible recognition for the last 2 years of hard work and success at my job,

Just keep swimming....

2010-08-30T20:49:00.000-07:00

In the famous words of Dory the sweet blue fish in Finding Nemo, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming, what do we do? We swim swim swim! I've been on quite a roller coaster lately. But the one thing I have had complete control over is my weight loss. I have gone extreme and cut out sugar and carbs... Given up caffeine which means no coffee or Diet Coke

Weight Update

2010-08-18T18:42:00.000-07:00

OMG!!!! Do you see that ticker thingy over there ===>>? That is right people, I am down 14 pounds!!!!!!! I am so excited I cannot see straight! So, my goal of losing 40 before I am 40 became a bit unrealistic after a doctors visit last week. Apparently my body shape, size, etc should really not be less than 140, which is okizzay with me! What that means is, I am 23 pounds away from my goal...

TGIF!

2010-08-06T23:59:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

2010-08-05T14:47:00.000-07:00

Three years ago today we were blessed with our baby girl. After a couple failed and painful attempts at having a second child we gave it one more try. Could be the fertility statue I rubbed in a castle in Ireland, could be that my mother had a talk with God and Mother Nature, could be that we were just ready. Whatever it was, I remember the tears we cried when we found out I was pregnant and

Taking stock....

2010-08-04T16:58:00.000-07:00

I am indeed blessed. I have been doing inventory of my life and deciding what stays and what goes. I have been making lists in a journal....Many many lists just to get the clutter out of my head so I can sleep at night and focus at work during the day. One of my lists is what I truly can and cannot live without: I can do without the crap that I have accumulated over the years...clothes, shoes,

True Friends

2010-08-03T22:06:00.000-07:00

I have been relying on my friends a lot lately. I truly do not know what I would do without the amazing people in my life I am lucky enough to call true friends. I saw this poem and thought it was appropriate for my post today: A BEST FRIEND A best friend is always there, whether you need advice, or a pep talk, or even a shoulder to cry on. A best friend listens with her heart and is always

My Travel Playlist

2010-08-02T20:16:00.001-07:00

Music is a critical part of my life. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it takes me from today to a moment back in time instantly. Every month I travel, I make a new playlist. It depends on the mood I am in and what I want to be thinking about on my 6 hour flight. This week, I was feeling a little down. Going through a rough time in my life on so many levels and missing my mom so much my heart

Day One of NaBloPoMo

2010-08-01T18:27:00.002-07:00

So I get this email about NaBloPoMo which is the challenge of posting something, anything, every day for the month of August. As if the weekly reminder I haven't updated my blog from my dear friend wasn't enough...I get this, a dare...a double dog dare to post every day....that is 31 days in a ROW! Of course the topic they gave this month was "green"...And I'm all for the environment, I recycle..

Back on the scale again...

2010-07-02T12:46:00.000-07:00

On the scale again(queue Willi Nelson "on the road again") ...just hate to get on the scale again....I've spent 3 months getting fatter by the day...oh I hate to get on the scale again... :) I'm a laugh riot...just crack me myself and I up on a daily basis.... Well peeps I did it and I allowed myself exactly 8 hours to be really pissed off! I am back on Weight Watchers which has this annoying

A few of my favorite things...

2010-06-30T20:53:00.001-07:00

7/4/10 EDITED to include $$ for each item... So I'm sitting at my desk performing my afternoon ritual- and by ritual, I mean the lag in the afternoon where I have already had 3 diet cokes and still look like I need a good nights rest...my skin is oily and tired and I need serious lip gloss to perk me up...anyway, I am performing my ritual and I realize that I am truly a creature of habit. When

Look who is back!

2010-06-26T20:28:00.001-07:00

I'm back! This much awaited blog update has been tough for me. I have been really busy...I mean REALLY busy...and honestly, not really motivated to come up with a creative blog post. While having dinner with my BFF awesome blogger the QUEEN, she reminded me that my blogs need not be creative, nor for anyone else. Type to get the crap out of your head...and two weeks later, here it is! While

LOST and other shows that jumped the shark with the finale....

2010-05-24T21:51:00.001-07:00

Do any of you out there watch LOST? Have you watched it from the beginning or were you like me and my husband who joined the phenomenon late? We started watching/obsessing over this show in between seasons 4 and 5. At which point we watched all 4 seasons within a 2 month period to get "caught up" before season 5 started. We started on a vacation day and were hooked by the first episode. It was

Happy Mother's Day!

2010-05-09T08:48:00.000-07:00

Mothers Day comes with mixed emotions for me. On one hand, I am sad...my mother died 5 years ago and I still miss her. To this day, anytime I walk by a display of Mothers Day cards I feel my chest tighten and my eyes water. On the other hand, the positive happy hand, I realize of all the things in my life, I love being a mother the most! I have two of the most incredible children a woman could

Something happened on the way to awesome....

2010-05-07T18:04:00.000-07:00

As the first half of this year quickly winds down, I am checking in with you all on my progress towards my 40 before I am 40 goal. I started out strong and then sort of got derailed on my way to awesome. I was working really hard and seeing results, and then BAM…nothing was happening even though I was still trying really hard. I am pretty in tune with my body and I knew

Paying it Forward....

2010-05-03T21:15:00.001-07:00

A FB friend sent me something about Paying it Forward Friday last week. Well, I missed the note until today. However, as things/coincidences tend to happen that freak me out in my universe, I actually did Pay it Forward on Saturday night without knowing about the note, or even that there was a whole day last week dedicated to Paying it Forward. Saturday night was date night....long overdue date

Time to get moving....

2010-05-02T17:49:00.001-07:00

As some of you already know, I am the matron of honor in my nieces wedding in September. We went and ordered our dresses today. They are so beautiful, and in MY color. I am going to rock this dress! No this image is not me. BUT, it will be! I have 4 months to get in better shape. Notice I said better. The dress already looks really great on me. I ordered it in a size that fits me now so as to

Genius...apparently not!

2010-04-27T21:22:00.001-07:00

I love music. It is the most consistent joy in my life. It can put me in the best mood, make me get my groove on, dance around the kitchen, cry, bring me back to an exact moment in time, and well just make me feel better! That being said.....Am I the last person on the iPod using planet to discover the most awesome little function called Genius on iTunes? And by discover, I mean a close friend

Weight Loss? No way!

2010-04-27T09:33:00.000-07:00

Holy cow people! I'm sure many of you are wondering how my 40 pound weight loss goal is coming along. Well let me tell you, until this morning, NOT good! I am going to the doctor this week to get my thyroid thing checked out and to a counselor to get my head checked out, but maybe I don't need to do those things... For the last few weeks, I have been quickly sinking into a pit of self despair

Mother of the Year...

2010-04-22T08:45:00.000-07:00

My fireplace mantel is overflowing with the trophy's people. I know you are jealous, but don't fret. You too can win a "Mother of the Year" award! We have all done it, our kids have all suffered from it, and dammit, we should be proud of it!!! You know what I am talking about. Those little mirrors we call children. The moments when you KNOW they are learning from you. And I don't mean when they

Bumper stickers I love, but would never put on my car...

2010-04-15T20:23:00.000-07:00

I recently took a trip to Las Vegas with two of my sisters to plan my nieces wedding. We had a blast! While looking for goodies to bring home to my kids, we went into the magic shop in New York New York. This place was amazing. AMAZING! Every magic trick you could ever dream of! And the best rack of bumper stickers you have ever seen. I am not a bumper sticker kind of gal, but I am DEFINITELY a

Forgive me Father, and all my blog readers who have reminded me they are waiting for a new post, for I have sinned...it has been 17 days since my last post! whew...I always feel better after confession don't you? I have no excuse except that I have been so freaking busy the last two weeks and 3 days, I have not had time to catch my breath let alone say drum up enough nerve endings or brain

Random Thoughts for the Day...

2010-03-22T19:29:00.000-07:00

I typically delete emails I receive at work that have nothing to do with work and more to do with my mortal demise if I don't quickly send to 10 people I love. However, seeing that my post yesterday was sad, I thought some of these were kind of funny...Thanks to my BIL for making me smile, even if he did break my "don't send that shit to my work email" rule! Random Thoughts for the Day (with

Just a quick warning to you all this is not my normal happy go lucky post. So if you are looking for a laugh, today is not the day to read my blog... How many different expressions have you heard about how quickly time flies? Stop and smell the flowers, life is too short to be unhappy, live every day like it's your last, live life to the fullest....the list goes on and on. There are entire

Vacation isn't supposed to be this exhausing....is it?

2010-03-19T22:31:00.002-07:00

I have been on vacation for Spring Break this week. A whole week of vacation sounds like a dream, but holy crap, I feel like I need a week off to recover from being off for a week! I know I sound like a big fat whiner right now, but seriously, this week has been exhausing. AND as I sit down with a nice full glass of whine wine to recap my week with you all, I realize IT ISN'T OVER YET! Monday

40 Things I Love about Spring

2010-03-18T11:40:00.000-07:00

I love Spring!!. It makes me happy, puts me in a good mood... next to Fall, it is my favorite season of the year. I live in Arizona, and besides the abundance of "snow birds" that flock here for the winter, Spring in the desert is the most gorgeous 2-3 months of the year here. To celebrate my love for this season, I put together a little list of the 40 things I love about Spring... Needing a

13 years ago today....

2010-03-08T20:11:00.001-07:00

this girl married a boy....not just any boy. THE boy. Now, I didn't know that at the time, it took quite a few years to come to the realization that this boy was THE boy, who is now the MAN who turned this girl into the WOMAN she is today. Well, with some help from Mother Nature.... I'm not gonna lie, our marriage isn't perfect. I don't want a perfect marriage, because then I would be full of

Stroke Talk....

2010-03-08T09:11:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had those days where no matter what you say, people don't hear it the way you meant it, or even hear it at all? Have those spouses or close friends who get this brand new exciting advice or hear about the latest trend from someone else, well after you have told them? My client calls this syndrome "Stroke" talk. She told me a story of a close friend of hers who had a stroke, was

F-Me and a bag of sugar....

2010-03-06T13:34:00.000-07:00

I weighed in this morning and guess what? I gained! I effing gained 2.2 lbs! I am so pissed at myself right now! Over the course of my three week "vacation" from my diet, exercise, and health goals, I have gained back 5 pounds! That is the equivelant of a bag of sugar, 5 boxes of butter, one hand weight, my favorite boots, a watermelon, and too many more things to mention. I have no one else to

2010-03-05T17:23:00.000-07:00

For those of you who come to my blog to track my progress...you know that timeline with the cute girl running over there ===>...hasn't moved in a few weeks. well, it has moved, but in the wrong direction! I have been incredibly busy the last three weeks...okay the ENTIRE month of February was shot for me. BUT, I weighed in EVERY week. And I have gained a total of 2 of my 8 pounds back. :( Here

Turbulence Induced Turrets...

2010-03-04T22:41:00.000-07:00

I love to travel but HATE to fly! This is actually funny considering I worked for an airline during college and traveled everywhere for free on a weekly basis. I don’t hate the entire experience…I can take off and land all day long…I can cram all of the shit I find necessary to carry on a plane with me under the seat in front me…I can handle the bad breath, “silent but deadly” farts, screaming,

Where does the time go?

2010-02-22T19:16:00.001-07:00

So today me and my team had to present our account plan for the upcoming year to our executive board. At the end of our presentation, my boss stands up and announces to the team that he would like to celebrate me...or rather my 15 year anniversary with my company. I actually had no idea he was going to do this or that I had reached 15 years with my current employer! Holy cow...where in the hell

Traveling on a diet sucks!

2010-02-20T09:18:00.000-07:00

I travel for my job. Once a month, I hop on a plane and fly to North Carolina to visit my customer. I hate to fly, but I love to travel. However, I must admit, traveling on a diet SUCKS! I am a rockstar Weight Watchers follower. I prepare my food for the week every Sunday..I make my lunch and snacks for work every morning. I know exactly how many points are in my bag at any given time! I know

Happy Valentine's Day

2010-02-14T09:57:00.001-07:00

I love Valentine's Day. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. I don't know why, but something about this day makes me smile. I think it all started back in 2nd grade when we got to make mailboxes by sticking construction paper hearts to empty shoeboxes. The purpose of these mailboxes was of course to hold the hundreds of Valentine cards we were going to receive during our Valentine's

OMG...I'm an Addict!

2010-02-13T22:41:00.000-07:00

I recently read an article that said you are an "addictive" personality if you can easily name 5 things you cannot live without. Holy crap people, I am an addict! And no, I'm not talking about drugs or even alcohol.. but I am definitely an addict...an addictive personality...I am crazy about it sometimes. I rattled off way more than 5 things in the blink of an eye. I was sure that everyone

Yeah!! It is Saturday. I LOVE Saturday. Absolutely my favorite day of the week! It is the one day of the week that has endless possibilities of what to do with my time. I mean during the week, I have to work, not much of a choice there. And Sunday, well, Sunday is the day to catch up on what I didn't do during the week due to work. Sunday is laundry day, grocery shopping day, prepare food for the

The Power of Positive....EVERYTHING!

2010-02-02T20:40:00.000-07:00

Today I had lunch with a friend I have known since 5th grade! Can you believe it? We have known each other for over 30 years. Like most people, we were friends through middle school, then joined different groups in high school and then lost touch after graduation. Thanks to Facebook which has made the world just about microscopic, we reconnected. Actually, he was my second FB friend. And when we

So I am Officially 39...Yee Haw!

2010-01-31T20:42:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday to me! Today is my "almost 40" birthday. I am 39, feel like I am 29, and am so excited for this year!! The last year of my 30's.... The last year before I have to check a new box on surveys...The last year I will be able to say I am in my 30's and not be lying. My 30's have been my favorite decade. I love me in my 30's. I feel like my life began in my 30's. I became a parent. I

2010-01-29T20:04:00.001-07:00

That's right people, it's me and let me tell you, this has been a crazy week for me! I haven't had time to keep up with my blog and I promised not to neglect it...see how I am? A big fat liar! I am so excited to see that I have new readers, especially excited to see those dots over there ==> on my cluster map!!! Woo hoo...even if some of them just accidentally stumbled across my blog looking or

Constant Cravings

2010-01-24T18:00:00.000-07:00

Do you ever have those days where you are craving something, but no matter what you eat, it doesn't quite hit the spot? Yeah? It sucks doesn't it? Well, it sucks even worse when you can't afford the calories/points to find out what it is... This has been a tough weekend for me food wise. Right after the high of losing 3.4 pounds last week, my body decides to take me to rock bottom and tell me

Shhhh....

2010-01-20T20:42:00.000-07:00

Don't tell my husband, but I am having an affair with another man...... He is amazing too! He motivates me. He is hard. He pushes me. He gets my heart beating well into my target heart rate zone...He excites me. I cannot wait to see him every morning...or at least every Tuesday and Thursday and twice on the weekend. Who is this man you might ask? Well his name is Les Mills and he has created

Today there is a Little Less of Me...

2010-01-14T21:04:00.000-07:00

Check out my progress ticker to the right....see what I see? That's right boys and girls, I lost 1.2 pounds this week!!! Woo Hoo...that is .2 pounds MORE than my goal of 1lb per week! It is also impressive considering I wasn't so great with my eating last Saturday, and by not so great, I mean I was awful...ate tons of "non WW friendly foods"...starting the morning with Butter Braid bread and

Let me just start by saying I had a great time tonight. I went to happy hour to catch up with good friends, the Vegas girls...and I am proud to say I resisted the chips and queso dip...and trust me, if you have ever been to dos Gringos, they have the BEST queso dip on the planet...crack is easier to resist... anyhow, one of the girls I met up with tonight has recently lost 29 pounds on WW, and

dislcaimer: this post may sound like the rantings of a fat ugly girl, jealous of those hot, crack whore skinny, blonde girls who dance on the bar at The Library, but if you know me, I am neither fat, nor ugly , not jealous, and it isn't ranting...I find those girls hot too...No this post is about my issues with my body image and is by no means meant to judge what others find attractive.

The "goal" Changing Interview

So I went to a Bodyflow class at the gym last night. It is basically a combination of yoga, tai chi, and Pilates and it isn't as easy as you would think. This is the class my husband calls "fake" yoga because it is at the gym and not a yoga studio...who cares the venue, this class kicks your ass from the inside out....

Hello, my name is Andrea and I am a weight watchers "aholic". In the last 10 years I have joined WW over 10 times and lost the SAME 10 pounds each time. That is a lot of 10's considering if I would have lost a different 10 pounds each of those 10 times, I would weigh 100 pounds less than I do now and be dead....cuz I don't need to lose that much weight... However, I didn't lose a different 10lbs.
