Feeling some kinda way today

Feeling some kinda way today.  Yesterday was a good day. All Days are great days actually. Some days are just longer than others causing the week to be stretched beyond my desired acceptability.  It’s Friday. I just got paid. And I’m all about the AKM Masquerade party this Saturday!  Got my feathered mask, my boa for fluffed fun, and my man will be on deck to help celebrate.  He’s not much into donations and charity but he’s down for free drinks and a good time.  Can’t wait to see him in his hat and blue shoes lol! The hit of the party I’m sure. 0_o

Earlier this week I started a post but didn’t post simply stating I want the ring and the name change but NOT the legal commitment.  There’s something about that forever and ever binding contract that I’m just not ready for.  It would be nice to find that special someone one day that I just have to have but right now I’m just too scared.  Money, compromise, trust, letting your guard down…all that is frightening. 

What’s today’s Blurb about?

Well…well…well today is the day the Lord our God has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! Whew! Yesterday I trudged up and down 6.5treacherous concrete hills through downtown Nashville in the scorching humidity! The first 2 miles took me through the masses of holiday celebrators around LP field and over the Pedestrian Bridge! This bridge aint no joke.  I just couldn’t make it without stopping.  They would have had to carry me way in a paddy wagon trying to jog up that mountain of concrete and steel.  Highest elevation was 568 feet. I also got caught in the smoke and debris from the fireworks at the start of Nashville’s 4^th of July celebration.  So that definitely didn’t help my breathing.  I should have been down there relaxing and maxing with everyone else, but I had to run and boo thang didn’t really seem too interested in the festivities anyway.  He doesn’t like to do much that is connected to Chattanooga in some way, shape, form or fashion.  I also hate that he doesn’t have any original ideas.  Any planning or activity adventures are that of my own creation and spontaneity.  And even then he may or may not be game if it’s something he’s familiar with. Blah! How boring. L

Anyhow, back to the story. I finished the 6.5 miles in an hour and 38 minutes with an average 15 min/mile.  Of course when me and my girl returned all the East Nasty crew were gone LOL! That’s okay.  I had BGR with me and we did it.  We even stretched and did our cheer afterwards. It was a great run. Proud of me J

I wore my white pants today.  I bought a new fit on payday last week.  I’m in need of summer clothes and also in need of more tops…tops with sleeves especially.  LOL not really sure why I like sleeveless tops so much but I have way to many to be working in an office building.  It wouldn’t be so bad if I wore jackets or a sweater to cover my fat arms but they are so itchy.  I hate jackets.  A business suit is not my thing but they look so good. I need to get me a few before I attend my next away conference, that’s for sure.

Closing out the day making it my Friday. Taking tomorrow off just because. Woohoo!

Just my thoughts

Feeling pretty sleepy same as yesterday and just about every day. Job is pretty uninteresting. Not that I hate it because I need a job. Don’t really know what I want to do. Really, I don’t want to work. I just want all my bills to be paid off, a house paid off, and all the money I want to spend for the eternity.  J Where they do that at? Idk! I should have been born to a rich family.  

Spent the day trying to stay away, trying to focus on completing a 5 3 min PowerPoint, finally went to lunch with some co-workers, and spent the remainder of the time wishing.  Here’s what I came up with____________________ I should have been born into a rich family. LOL

Joining this Instagram photo challenge and each day is a different theme or targeted photo.  Today’s challenge is “best part of my day”. Yesterday was “busy” and Sunday July 1 was self-portrait.  So the “best part of my day” truly is lying in bed either before we have to get up or after the day is over.  Either one, I love it and it’s spoiling me rotten, making me lazy.  My busy moments on July 2 would be work, running, and cross training.  I got up at 4am went to Inferno fitness and allowed them heifers to kick my ass for 60 daggum minutes!  And they had me begging for mercy.  My arms were tired, my lungs cried, and my heart just up and left. It was a good morning wake up.  I was so famished after that whipping I went home and cooked up a mushroom, mozzarella, and chicken omelet with pita bread and juice on the side. Man was I too gone! Then later that evening I hit the track with my BGR girls.  Monday was speed work day.  I did 6 x 400s in slow motion. It took me all of 48 minutes to run 2.94 miles up and down the sidewalk 6 times.  However for me it wasn’t about the speed as much as it’s still about endurance.  My right lung is not taking oxygen to well.  My goal this day was to make it up the hill without stopping.  There’s a slight incline along our route and that little bit kills me every time.  This time I took my time, 16 min/mile, and forced my heart to pump it! Pump it! I was proud of myself.

Travel plans for next year:
