Oct-Dec 2001
Sadly the leaves of memory fall,
Gently I gather and treasure them all,
Unseen by others you walk by my side,
Too dearly loved for death to divide
Monday Dec 31, 2001 - Happy New
Year everyone. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year! My New years
resolution is to lose another 5 pounds this year and keep it off, also Work harder
at Improving myself. Like taking more courses to educate my mind. I think I'll
start taking the home online courses since I hate going to classes and I learn
better on my own. I am not doing anything tonight and will be having an online
show at 6pm EST so if your not going out either your welcome to join me.
Just for
your enjoyment....![]()
Typical macho man married typical good-looking lady and after the
wedding, laid down the following rules:
"I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want -- and I
don't expect any hassle from you.
I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you.
I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card-playing when I want with my
old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it.
Those are my rules. Any comments?"
His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me."
Just understand that there'll be sex here at seven o'clock every
night-whether you're here or not."
Sunday Dec 30, 2001 - Yesterday Jeff bought a cellular modem for our laptop computer. It works great. We are going on a trip soon and need that for the GPS mapping software so we can connect through our cell phone. It's great and works just like a 56K modem. Isn't technology wonderful. So I can check my email and everything from my car, on my laptop. I've all ready tried it out.:)
Saturday Dec 29, 2001 - I had a good day. I had fun during my show. I will be running on my treadmill about 10-10:30pm tonight EST of course. I think I've know some of the Most Immature people since I've been online. It seems like if you become friends in any way with anyone (in the same business) at all, they start thinking you need to give them special privileges. So they start feeding off you, then you start eating up the cost of their bandwidth. So it don't pay to be "a friend" if they are going to do that. We've had a couple people do everything in their power to bad mouth us. Just because we tied off the friendship and not give them "Free" ring or what they wanted. I still am a little astonished that they are still trying childish games. As long as I never hear from them again I'd be happy. We don't mess with anyone or try to play games so don't do it with me/us, right? Who knows why people act as they do. I just don't like being leached on! Our video server cost a lot to run, I don't like people taking advantage of my/our Friendship. It's hard to find good honest friends.
Thursday Dec 27, 2001 - This week is sure going by fast. I worked out with Angie Yesterday and today. Tomorrow I'll do my Cardio on my treadmill since we won't be working out. I helped Jeff get some things out of the attic and put in the trash when I got home today. I did my show at 6pm tonight, it was a blast. Besides that, sleep has been my body's main desire. I need to get my floors moped and stuff done tomorrow.
Tuesday Dec 25, 2001 - Merry Christmas everyone!! Well, I will tell you what I got for Christmas now. Jeff bought me a 3 carrot diamond bracelet, a one carrot diamond heart shape pendent necklace and half carrot diamond earrings. My Mom gave me her Wedding bands from her marriage to my dad. My Dad died when I was 18 so she thought I could have them now. I will always treasure everything I get like this. GirlPearl sent me a gold ankle bracelet.. I loved it all of course! Copter sent me some Stuffed animals and some fake jewelry, roflmao.. It's for ages 3 and up.. He's such a jokester! I bought Jeff and the girls in my family stuff and they loved what they got. I like Jewelry and I sure got a lot this year! I really wasn't into Jewelry much before this year anyway. We had a very good Christmas. We arn't doing much but hanging around the house, as long as were together everything is superb. That is all that matters. I gave Bookie and Nemo a bath today. I found a flea so it was time for another flea bath. Bookie does the silliest things! I put some ear antiseptic in their ears after their bath once a week, so their ears will be clean. After I did Bookies first ear he ran, then every time I'd go to where he was, he'd bark and run like a cartoon. He had me laughing so hard. It took awhile for me to do it since he thought, since he made me laugh, he'd get into a game of chase with me and make me chase him. I brushed their teeth as well, but they like that.
Sunday Dec 23, 2001 - I hope you all are having a great Holiday Season! HOHOHO.. Well, I am such a mess. I lost everything on my computer today. So if you sent me a private e-mail or pictures recently... I JUST LOST THEM ALL, poof, gone. I had to use my recovery disk. Damn Browser was fucking up so I deleted it, so I could reinstall it, and it shut down my whole system. Oh hell, now it's going to take me forever to put everything back in place. I worked out with Angie on Friday. We worked legs and boy am I sore. Besides that I've been staying busy making phone calls and that sort of thing. I've been running on my treadmill all week. This weekend I've been slacking though. Not really doing it at all. I've been sleeping way to much. Might be because of my period. I feel like a bear in hybernation. It's bad. Who knows! (*&(^$#$@#%!#^%(*)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuesday Dec 17 - 2001 - I had my show last night and it went well. I worked out with Angie and ran on my Treadmill for 30 minutes as well. I've been sorting through stuff and getting rid of stuff that clutters up my house. The Animal Rescue League will be here tomorrow to pick up some furniture I'm donating to them. I have some clothes I need to get together today and give them as well. I joined the Double Day Book club and ordered the other two Harry Potter books I didn't read yet. I love those books. I've been working on the computer and am going to start on my Adobe Photoshop studio Techniques book soon.
Sunday Dec 16, 2001 - I had a pretty busy day today. I had to clean up my house and throw away all the stuff we don't use from the garage, it's now cleaned. I've been putting everything away like CD's in the right CD cases and so forth. I am attempting to sew a zipper back on some old pants of mine but I need to go to the fabric store tomorrow and get a new zipper and the right thread for it. I ran an hour on my Treadmill today. I split it up into two 30 minute intervals. I warmed up the first 5 minutes of each then ran the rest. Some of you ask me why I don't talk more about competing in this diary. Well, I put unwanted pressure on myself when I do that, so I would rather not tell anyone at all. I do better on my own, and do it when the time is right for me. I'm more apt to do it when I don't talk about it. That is all I need is more pressure from anyone but myself. I am a very bad Mom. I forgot Bookies birthday yesterday! But I sang him his happy birthday song today and gave him a treat tonight.
Saturday Dec 15, 2001 - I'm home from visiting my mom now. I just got back tonight, I left Wednesday morning. I love visiting her it's just very boring out in the country where she lives. I didn't get to visit with my sister all that much since she worked. I was going to go down and chat with her last night but I didn't get around to it. I didn't even get to say goodbye since she was at work. That's ok since there are plenty of other times. We will be busy the very first of January but then it should settle back down. I had to remake my schedule for this upcoming week tonight.
Monday Dec 10, 2001 - I worked out with Angie today. I was weak and had no energy. Mondays are usually like that for me.
Sunday Dec 9, 2001 - I did my show at 7pm tonight, same as last night. I ran on my treadmill at 3pm today and have been reading my Book, just about the rest of the day. I picked up a paper back copy of, "Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone"" the first book. I like it a lot! I haven't been able to put it down all day. I stared reading it on the flight to Vegas and didn't have any time to read it while I was there. Then I read it coming back, for a couple of hours. It's a good read. I have no idea why they would ban kids from reading it. People are to extreme in views. Get a grip on reality. People can always make ANYTHING look or sound bad no matter how good it might be. Next thing you know some religious organization will say it's possessing their children with evil or something. Isn't that always how these things work?
Saturday Dec 8, 2001 - I sleep a lot yesterday. I woke up around noon, took a shower then got ready to meet Angie at the gym. We had a great leg workout. When I got home I played with the boys on the floor then gave them a bath. Phew, they smelled like a skunk or something, who knows what they were into while we were gone. I had ordered a Dental kit from Doctors foster and smith magazine and it arrived while we were gone. The Pet sitter put it on the table. So I brushed their teeth and rubbed the spray on their gums with that. I finished unpacking and putting up our cloths after that. We took the boys for a walk then went grocery shopping. We got back and Dark Angel was on but I only watched about half of it. I went to bed. This morning after I cook breakfast I'm going to run on the treadmill. We are going to a holiday Celebration/Product line thingy Angie my trainer is throwing later today. We didn't end up going to the Holiday Party thingy Angie had. I did my show at 7pm tonight and Jeff took some pictures of me at that time as well. I got an email from Dio and I was thrilled to hear from him. I seen Powerman in my chat tonight but he left before I had a chance to say bye!! eerrrr..... Oh well, everyone is so busy now days. I go visit my Mom Next week, for two days.
Friday Dec 7, 2001- I'm home!!!! It feels so good to be back in my own home. We went to Las Vegas again on Tuesday and just got back. Our plane landed at 6am this morning in Miami. It wasn't for pleasure either. Just business. I need to go sleep then I'll write in here later.
Monday Dec 3, 2001 - Oh gosh, I'm stuffed tonight. I wasn't that hungry all day then tonight I ate a whole can of Spaghetti O's. It wasn't the healthiest but it sure made me feel good. I worked out with Angie at 2pm. At Noon I had my online show. I cleaned the house all morning and for breakfast I had French Toast Sticks. How yummy and fattening. I'm on a roll. My house is clean. After I worked out with Angie I laid down and sleep with the boys for a couple hours. I know this entry isn't all that orderly but oh well.. We all need confusion once in awhile. I'm not a very orderly person anyway.
Sunday Dec 2, 2001 - I had to redue my show schedule since our plans this upcoming week has changed a little. The dog show was fun. I only stayed about an hour. Enough to buy some things and charge it to my CC this time. It wasn't a real Frenchie, it was just a bronze Statue of one. It's pretty and Jeff liked it, he was probably just relieved I didn't come home with a real one.;) I got Bookie and Nemo some Squeaky toys while I was there also. They played with them all day yesterday and this morning. Bookie likes to kill the squeak.
Friday Nov 30, 2001 - I went to the Merle Norman store yesterday and they had closed. So I went online and ordered some Mary Kay Night face recovery cream. I also ordered some hydrating lotion for my body from tanforless.com. I have been on a shopping phase. I really don't need to do anymore of that. I train with Angie today. Dog show is this weekend, yahoo!
Thursday Nov 29, 2001 - I did my on line show at noon yesterday then went to the gym at 2pm (Worked out with my trainer Angie). When I got home I played on the floor with Bookie and Nemo. They are so fun. I didn't do all that much the rest of the day. Worked on the computer is all. I have another show at noon today. I called my Mom last night, she has a cold still. My brother called me a few days ago. It's 3:29pm EST and I just got done running on my Treadmill, I did 35 minutes. I need to go and get some Merle Norman Night face cream so I think I'll go get that now.
Tuesday Nov 26, 2001 - Oh, you men should be more care full what you tell your women. Jeff told me he wanted a blond or a redhead for Christmas. I'll get him a blond or redhead, he can cuddle with her all night if he likes. The only thing is, haha! She is going to be around 26 pounds full grown! lol!!!!!! Yea, she will be blond all right! Copter sent this to me and I had to post it. Funny.

Monday Nov 25, 2001 - I went to an Antique store this morning and was looking for Antique Bulldogs/French Bulldog. The place I went had a 1918 FAO Swartz French Bulldog who's head moved around and his mouth opened and barked. Do you have any Idea how much they were selling it for?! I could buy like 3 real French Bulldogs for that price! He was $3,800.00 bucks!!!!! The lady told me there is an Antique show at the fair grounds, the first weekend of each month. Not as expensive there. So this weekend I'm going out to the fairgrounds to attend. I was planning to go anyway since there is a dog show. I mailed off two mouse pads this morning as well, personalized dog mousepads. I workout with Angie at 2pm. I don't have a show today so I'll clean my house. I had a show last night at 7pm EST and it went well.
Saturday Nov 24, 2001 - I did my Show at Noon today then went to the Grocery store to pick up a few things. I did a few loads of laundry today and cleaned up the kitchen as well. I rented some Movies, then at 6pm I ran on my Treadmill for 30 minutes. I ran for 25 minutes last night. I ate way to much yesterday and I felt it when I went to bed. So I am starting to regulate what I eat again. Just a little anyway. I decided to go visit my mom for two days in Dec, I will be doing that in a couple more weeks. I bought my tickets online like I always do. I gave Bookie and Nemo a bath tonight and cleaned their ears. I also did this weeks "Show" schedule, and have it posted. I was talking to "Rock" in my chat room tonight and had a good chat.
Friday Nov 23, 2001 - I went and bought two camcorders to hook up to our wireless remotes, so that we don't have cords all around the house. We got the Wireless remotes in today. We have one more coming and then all the cords in my house will be eliminated. I will now have three different cameras. One in my living room which also switches over to the channel in my workout room so you can watch me their as well. Then I'll have a permanent one in my bedroom, you can also see my bathroom from that one when I'm taking a shower. They are the Soney handycam's hooked up to a wireless remote that sends to the receiver, so it's a very good and clear picture. Unlike those very bad ADT wireless spy cams we had put up in the house. You'll be impressed with this setup. They all have the night vision as well. I stopped by Eckerd and bought a 3 foot Christmas tree that lights up. I have in on my end table and it's perfect for our small house. The boys can't get it and think it's their chew toy and it's all ready decorated with lights, so all we have to do is plug it in. It's perfect for us. Pretty to. Best buy was a mad house, I'm so glad that I've all ready got my Christmas shopping done! I ate way to much yesterday, as I'm sure everyone did. I ran on my treadmill for 35 minutes last night around 7pm. I will be running on it again tonight around 6pm.
Thursday Nov 22, 2001 - I made thanksgiving dinner and it came out pretty good (Not as good as Mom's though). We ate at Noon. I put the turkey in to bake at 8am. Bookie and Nemo sure did like their platter of food I made up for them. Which Consisted of Turkey, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Baked Beans and stuffing. We sat at the table for once and ate like a family. I need to teach Bookie and Nemo how to eat at the table on a high chair so they can eat with us. That would be a good thing for them to learn and be polite. Good sit and stay technique. Happy Thanksgiving you all. I'm so glad I got my Christmas shopping over with. Tomorrow will be a mad house out there.
Wednesday Nov 21, 2001 - I got Jeff a nice Card and a cake from the cheesecake factory today. It's his Birthday. I also made that bread today and it was pretty good when it was still warm, I'm the only one who had a piece. They were too dry. Since they arn't warm now, you could throw them at someone and knock them out. Yea, they are that hard. I added some milk to the batch I didn't make yet, I went to check on it after my show and the dough didn't look bakeable. I could probably throw it and it would put a hole through my wall. Ho hum, I just hope my turkey and mashed potatoes come out better.
Tuesday Nov 20, 2001 - Man, I've been sleeping all day. I was up a lot last night taking care of Jeff. He's been a little ill. He got up out of bed last night and Nemo was on the floor at his feet, then all of a sudden he puked all the 7up he drank. Poor Nemo was on the floor and it landed right on him. Anyway, I cleaned it all up and gave Nemo a bath. Then I took a shower myself, gave myself a facial and conditioned my hair. I mailed out all the Christmas presents today. I also went shopping for a turkey and the makings for Thanksgiving dinner. I might have to start a strict diet soon. Something might be coming up, where I will need to for a couple weeks. My eyes have had dark circles under them since Sunday so I started my vitamins today. I look like I'm dead this week.. My mom e-mailed me my Grandma's homemade Bread recipe and I am going to make the bread tomorrow. I hope you all have a great thanksgiving.
Sunday Nov 18, 2001 - I got my sister something for Christmas. I ordered it online though, instead of trying to find it in a store. So all the women in my family are covered. I am skipping the guys since I don't have a clue what they want and I don't want to spend any more. So someone else is going to have to cover them. I burnt my hand cooking breakfast this morning. That is the second time in two weeks. Damn if it didn't hurt! I've got to be one of the clumsiest people. After breakfast I cleaned up the kitchen then took a bath (shaved my legs and everything). I ran on my treadmill for 20 minutes at 11am. I felt heavy so 20 minutes was enough for me today. I called Angie and left a message for her to call about tomorrows workout. She called back a couple hours later and we set the time back. She isn't going away for Thanksgiving now, so we will workout the other two days we usually do. I am not even sure what we will do Thanksgiving. Hopefully any food I cook will come out edible.
Saturday Nov 17, 2001 - Yesterday I worked out with Angie at 2pm. I ran for 25 minutes at noon. On Thursday I ran 35 minutes and on Wednesday I ran 20 minutes. So I've been doing pretty good doing my running all week. I watched Dark Angel last night, but dozed off during the end of it. I was so exhausted when I did go to bed, the bed felt like heaven. I did my on line show at Noon today. We then went over to Wendy's and got a hamburger after my Show ended. I took a nap then got Bookie and Nemo's webcam on their website running again. It's up now! I have it pointed at where their beds are and toybox.
Friday Nov 16, 2001 - Holy Shit! I spent way to much money in the Last two days. Between Christmas Shopping and having to get some frames for these posters. I need not to shop till at least June of next year! My god I feel guilty. I got up this morning around 8am. Made Jeff some breakfast then worked on the computer some. I then went to JCPenney when it opened at 10am and did a little more Christmas shopping and got myself a new purse (on Sale)!! I gave in.. Geez, I could beat myself. But it's such a nice purse and mine is like 3 years old. I feel like I'm greedy when I indulge on myself when I'm Christmas shopping for others. I won't mail the Gifts out till the first of Dec.. At least my Christmas shopping is finished. I really need to stay away from those places. Like they say, "Out of sight out of mind"..
Thursday Nov 15, 2001 - Jeff and I went up to the mall today and I did some Christmas shopping for my mom and nieces. After that we came home and I went to Macy's to get a few of them from there. They have some great make-up gift sets for women. They are also having their biggest sale of the year today and tomorrow. I would tell you all what I got for them but my Mom does read this once in awhile, I don't want to ruin it. My Mom is the #1 person I shop for since she has done so much for me when I needed her. Makes me feel bad not getting something for EVERYONE but my brother has two kids and my sister has four. That is just to many people to shop for. Since the girls don't have a lot, I like shopping for them. When I mess up a sentence in here, or just totally don't make sense, let me know. I don't always catch the error's till way later and make myself look like an F student.;)
Wednesday Nov 14, 2001 - We were suppose to leave for Las Vegas this morning but we decided to Cancel our reservations at the very last moment. With all the Plane Crashes we really don't feel all that safe flying right now. It's not like we needed to go. We decided to stay home and spend more good quality time with the boys. After my show at noon yesterday I spent the day packing and cleaning the house. I also went by home Depot and got some air filters for the AC system and replaced those. It sure does get dusty here. It's like every 3 weeks they need replaced. I called my trainer Angie and left a message to see if she could train me today and Friday since we Canceled our trip. I think it's something, the older we get the more "mental" problems we acquire. I think a lot of it has to do with things we've been through. I hate to admit but I've even acquired some in the last year even. Like Anxiety attacks. My whole life I've wanted to Scuba Dive and loved doing it. I can't even do it anymore. If I go on a boat I get sick to the point I can't do nothing but lay flat on my back, if I don't I will spend the whole time feeling like I'm going to die and Vomiting over the side of the boat. The ones single bad experience I had at 100 feet has left me with permenent Anxiety when we attempt to go diving. I can dive up to 30 feet fine (still with a little anxiety). If we go deeper I start having a breathing problem and want to shoot straight to the top so I can get air (anxiety attack at that point). If we could just do some shallow dives I might be able to over come it. Around here all the dives are a lot deeper.
Tuesday Nov 13, 2001 - Can you all Vote for my dogs on Central Pets.com? Go here to Vote, and it will Be under the Name Bookie on the first page. Then again you can vote for the picture you like best of them again on the second page called Nemo and Bookie Parr.
Monday Nov 12, 2001 - I got up and cleaned the Kitchen and moped my Floors today. I also dusted. Got that out of the way. We go to Las Vegas for Jeff's Birthday. The pet sitter called today and I talked with her about taking care of Bookie and Nemo. I worked out with Angie then came home. I have a little more cleaning to do. I'll get on that.
Sunday Nov 11, 2001 - *!!@#*#@!!!!!!.. I'm losing my mind and am entering the Twilight Zone. I will be back. I'm a dog groupie! Now that I've admitted my problem maybe I can start recovery.
Saturday Nov 10 , 2001 - I got up this morning and took my shower. I did my Online Show at noon then dragged Jeff to Petland so I could hold puppies. That seems to get my need for a new puppy out of my system. I would never buy a puppy from a place like that but I really see no harm in going up their to play and hold them. They arn't bred good, puppy mill puppies. I would go to a breeder, but I would be wasting their time going over to play and hold their puppies and not buy one. That really makes me go home and give my own two dogs (Bookie and Nemo) some good quality play time and attention (I give them good quality play time not matter where I come back from). They are the two best! Of course I'm biased since they are my babies. We went to eat at the Cheese Cake factory after that and looked around at some of the shops. I'll be running on my treadmill this evening.
Friday Nov 9, 2001 - I have a marsh mellow ass now! I've been eating way to much this week. I'm watching what I eat for the rest of this month.. I got up and ate Egg Whites with Potatoes and Turkey Bacon. It's all pretty good with the Turkey Bacon added. I'll have to have something decent for lunch. I am going to focus on what I eat since I am tired of eating like shit. I don't feel good and I don't know why. There is no reason for me not to feel 100% and I don't. Oh I think I'll just go sleep it off or something. I wonder if the U.S. Mail service is taking a lot longer to get the 3 day mail to us? I mailed out a couple Mouse Pads on Monday and they haven't been received and I also ordered some lotion on-line that day and it was 3 day Priority, I haven't received that either.
Thursday Nov 8, 2001 - I feel so much better this morning. Feels good. The other day I bought one of those Crest spinbrush tooth brushes. I love it. It really does get your teeth a lot better then a regular one. I work out with Angie this morning so I need to go do that before anything. I seen Copter in my chat room last night and didn't catch him!!! Ahh, we miss you copter! Yipeee Guess where we are going Next month? It's not far from us and Gizzy is going to take me. YIPEEE! To the AKC/Eukanuba American Dog Classic. Yes it's a dog show but it's a Big one! :) I like going to look at all the dog stuff they sell at the booths and to see all the dogs of course.
Wednesday Nov 7, 2001 - I cleaned up my house when I got up then went and got my Nails done at 11am this morning. I meet with Angie at 2pm and worked out. Right after that I had an appointment to get my hair trimmed so I did that as well. I've been neglecting to do everything for so long that I just made myself do it this time. I will be running on my Treadmill (on Camera) this evening. Shit, I never made it to the treadmill. Oh well. Not a big deal since I did workout with Angie today. I bought these pills from her, they are like some kind of Enzyme and help with digestion and absorption and all that. Maybe it will help with my sweet tooth that I have so very bad. I could eat cake or donuts for Breakfast, Lunch and dinner and be happy with it. It sucks! I'm so not into taking metabolic enhancers. Talking about days of nothing but being tired if not on them. That sucks to. I wonder if half the world walks around tired like I do. I feel like I could sleep my life away at times.
Tuesday Nov 6, 2001 - We ordered a pizza last night and I had two pieces. I had two more small pieces for Breakfast. I ran 25 minutes on my Treadmill around 7pm last night. I made an appointment tomorrow morning to get a full set of pink and whites put on (Nails). I bite mine, a very bad habit I will never break. I gave up on that a long time ago. The news really needs to stop doing reports on things that hasn't happened. Like Small Pox! I don't think we would even have to worry about it but since they are doing reports on it someone will end up trying to spread it, just for the fact they are reporting it. Kind of Like Anthrax, during the gulf war that is all they talked about as well. Now it's happening in our country probably for that reason. The news needs to keep their mouths shut. My Internet connection Sucks for the past couple of day.
Monday Nov 5, 2001 - Bookie is such a sweet and loving dog. So is Nemo but Bookie can't stand it if he can't be with us. The other day Jeff was sleeping on the couch and Bookie Joined him. I got a picture of it and thought I'd post it here since I thought it was so cute and touching. Jeff and Bookie, I hope Jeff don't get to shocked at me for posting it. I think it's sweet and loving. I'll take it down if he ask. We went to the beach just down the Road yesterday to see the waves come in and Jeff got a picture of me. Me on the beach. I canceled my appointment with Angie at the last minute today. I wasn't feeling all that good and it was raining really bad. I even left the house to go but the traffic was so bad. Now I feel like a lazy ass bum and just should have made myself go anyway. I think she was upset that I canceled to.
Sunday Nov 4, 2001 - Last night I ran on the Treadmill for 40 minutes. The two night prior to that I did 30 then 35 minutes. I took today off from Cardio. I spent two hours this morning/afternoon organizing my closet and taking out all the clothes I don't wear and put them all in a box. I even labeled sections of my closet so that I put dress pants/skirts in one section, suits and dresses in another, blouses and jackets in another, jeans in another, workout pants another, t-shirts and workout shirts in another, jean shirts/ sweaters another. That was good. I am now organized and can find clothes easy. My closet looks neat now.
Saturday Nov 3, 2001 - We went to a shopping area up the street from us today and it's pretty new and Big. We found our most favorite place we have ever liked to eat at. The Cheese Cake Factory is there! Since I'm working out and trying to lose a few more pounds I am going to limit on how often we go out to eat there. I have no idea what everyone wants for Christmas and I hate guessing what everyone will enjoy. Frustrating to say the least. It's 10pm and we are starting to have Hurricane alerts. We are going to keep a close eye on the news and will have to get up early to put all the hurricane shutters up in the morning. If it is necessary. We have those damn aluminum one's that you have to manually put up and it takes at least two people to do it. !*#@&*@!!!!!!Shit, I really need to quit looking at the Classifieds.
Friday Nov 2, 2001 - I will NOT buy anything for myself when I go Christmas shopping this year, I will NOT buy anything for myself when I go Christmas shopping this year, I will NOT buy anything for myself when I go Christmas shopping this year, I will NOT buy anything for myself when I go Christmas shopping this year, I will NOT buy anything for myself when I go Christmas shopping this year! It's just so hard to shop for adults that I start finding stuff I like.
Thursday Nov 1, 2001 - Jeff liked VISITING Las Vegas so I am taking him there for his Birthday. I got the rest of my material cut last night and tonight I'll do the tracing. I finally picked up the things I needed after I trained with Angie yesterday. We worked legs. I am sore now. She walked over with me to the craft store that was in the same area. She had to pick up some lace material. I am resigned to the fact that I won't get another doggie. Oh well, but I respect how other people feel who live in the same environment so I will keep respecting it. Our bed is pretty full with the two we have, plus Christmas is coming up and we still have to shop for family. Expenses, Expenses. Not like we are going anywhere for Christmas. If we can't drive and take the boys with us we will stay home and celebrate it with them. I get them Christmas doggie stockings. They even get Turkey and the works. I need to buy a Christmas tree this year. I'd like to have one this time. I really wish the News would quit reporting that something bad is going to happen in the next couple days. My mom is worried sick. I should order her to quit watching the news before she ends of dying of a heart attack instead of Anthrax! Damn News will make anyone worry. I haven't been listing to it much lately since I am tired of it. And what the heck can we do anyway? Not much. So be calm it will all be ok. It's 9:17pm and Sewing sucks right at this point! I just got done sewing my pockets to the rob and they look all uneven. New style! ha. Only if your blind. Oh well, I'll take a picture when I'm done. My teacher really really sucks! She is nice but she really sucks at sewing. You ask her a question and she tells you to read! Not like I haven't read it ten million times and still can't find the answer..! Well I'll just learn my way and if it comes out looking like a .... a.... a.....hmmmm. Something other then it is. So be it. I'm going to learn it no matter how or what I mess up.
Tuesday October 30, 2001 - I did my Show last night then went to bed at like 10pm. I worked out with Angie earlier in the day, we worked Back and Shoulders. My Sewing Class got transferred to tonight since tomorrow night is Halloween but I am not going to go. I still need to cut the rest of my fabric. I need to go and get the cutting blade from the craft store sometime today. I am so lazy though, bla. I ran on my Treadmill for 20 minutes today and went to the store with Jeff to pick up a few things. Besides that I've been a total bum laying around the house trying to get the motivation to do something beside lay there. Hasn't come yet. I mailed out 4 mouse pads for the Rescue yesterday. First one's in about a week I guess. My Second favorite breed of dog is the English toy spaniel (maybe it's third favorite but I'm making it my second now) and they are small as well. But shit if I don't have expensive taste in dogs!!!!! Damn expensive as well.. Who in their right mind can say no to a cute little face like this Puppy?.
Sunday October 28, 2001- On Friday we went to Las Vegas to tie up a few loose ends we had there. It was almost all business and no play. After we did that we went back to our Suit in the Luxor and sleep (Jet lag of a 5 hour flight). We ordered room service, ate, then I was out like a light. We didn't leave our room till Saturday morning. We ordered room service then got ready for our flight back home. We stopped by the forum shops in Ceasers palace and I got an outfit that we saw and Jeff wanted to get for me. I love it but I'm not sure where the heck I'll wear it around here! I'll have it for the next convention I suppose. Guess what? IT'S A SIZE SIX!!!! HA. ok, can you tell I'm happy about it?! Our flight left at 12:50pm so we had to leave the shops by 10:30am and get to the airport, drop off the rental car and make it through the security check points. To say the least we got there a little more then two hours early and had a lot of time to spare at the gate. So what did I do while waiting. PLAY SLOT MACHINES! That darn machine let me win just enough to get me hooked. I found it's a lot more fun to visit Las Vegas then to live there and not have as much fun because it eats up all your damn money. I had a great time and wanted to stay a day longer but we had to get back and make sure the boys were doing ok. I had a pet sitter but you never know. Some people can look nice and you find out there Wacked. But she was great! I will use her every time. I put my Schedule back on when we got in late last night. I was tired so I went to bed after that. My mom called at 3am to make sure everything was ok. I didn't know she would wait up or I'd have called her. They have National Guard with machine guns in the Airports. I don't find that a bit scary like some people do. I find myself feeling safer. I ran on the Treadmill for 40 minutes today.
Thursday October 25, 2001 - If you ever take sewing in your life don't make a robe for your first project!! I think I'm going to be behind forever. I have sooooo much to pin and cut. I'm wishing I would have made a pair of underwear or something now. On the other hand I have my own sewing machine now so I may just try it on my own so that I can get it done faster after I learn how to put it all together. I have been running on my treadmill everyday this week. I've only been running for 20-25 minutes though. Better then not doing it at all if you ask me. Keeps me in shape. I called my Mom last night and she has been making t-shirt transfers and that kind of thing now. She got another virus on her computer. I told her a long time ago to keep her Norton AntiVirus updated but she didn't remember that, so I didn't mention I told her. Guess what? I wear a size six again!!!!!!!!! Oh it feels so good.
Tuesday October 23, 2001 - I cleaned and moped my house for about three hours today. I love the smell of Murphy's Wood soap. My house smells like it now. I also dusted my wood furniture with it. It's unbelievable how much dust collects under the bed and dresser with these wood floors in just a couple weeks. Bookie did it again. He grossed me out and I actually screamed this time. I was eating and seen he was making a face and trying to get something out of his lips. Well I just thought it was a fuzzy and got it for him. When I looked at what is was after I had pulled if from his lips I found out it was a Lizard, I had in my hand. I then threw it and screamed at the same time, making Jeff just about shit a brick thinking something happened. I was eating and that completely ruined my appetite. We rented some movies tonight and are going to watch them. I haven't been feeling all that great this evening so I think that will be good. I got my sewing machine and it came with a Video on how to use it. How great, I don't have to read a darn instruction manual.
Sunday October 21, 2001 - I hope you all like my new Halloween images and sound effect! I had fun downloading them and playing around anyway. I did 20 minutes of Cardio yesterday and again 30 minutes today. This week I will be very busy with school working out, and other plans. I donated all my small clothes to a Rescue Orginization when we left Vegas now I need them. Oh well, I guess I can donate all my big one's now.. I'd rather have donated the big clothes in the first place. I found a great new dog food I can feed the boys when I can't cook it! It's Holistic and all natural canned moist kind that smells so good I want to eat it. So if your to busy to cook I would highly recommend it. It's called "Spots Stew" and is made by Halo pet food. I found it at Wild Oats. I've heard about it online but never seen it till today when I was looking for a good food to feed the boys for when I don't have time to cook for them. I don't recommend any of the dog foods in stores or even in some vet clinics. Research it, you will see how bad it is for them. That brings another subject to my attention, Bookie is so fat. I need to cut down on the goodies I give him, Or he may end up looking like a baby hippo soon! That boy can eat! He has learned how to come to me and bark so Jeff will give him French Fries! French fries are his most favorite food on the planet. He will do ANYTHING in his power to get a French fry. It's so cute that I have a hard time being strict. It's so hard when he just melts my heart the way he does! I love being a women and all but my god I don't look forward to starting my period this week! Yea I know, WAY TO MUCH INFO! Now On a more serious note. Those of you who have been members for a few years somewhat have insight to what I had done to myself. Like they say, "If it don't kill you it can only make you stronger". It has and also made me realizes what is most important in life. The people that mean the most. Then there are those that shouldn't matter at all. Don't ever let ANYTHING mean more to you then the people you love or who love you. Not a job, not a sport, nothing. None of those things will stand by you in the end except one.
Friday October 19, 2001 - I haven't done cardio in 3 days. I will do it first thing tomorrow morning though. I'll do two days on then a day off. I need to restrict myself before I burn out. I did work out with Angie 4 days this week so that was a lot of help. I've been eating like shit so don't think I'm the ideal of health.. I'll try to eat a good breakfast tomorrow morning. We are going to Las Vegas soon. I feel like laughing hysterically when I say that. Like a psycho! I did my show at noon today. Oh my, I was bad. I was talking like a little slut! HA! ok, maybe I talk like a little slut a lot on here but I thought I'd bring it up. It feels good to talk that way at times. Gets all the tension out and makes me be good the rest of the day.:)
Thursday October 18, 2001 - I feel as if I've been sleeping in the Twlight Zone. The night before last Jeff had to wake me because I started screaming in my sleep. I don't think I've ever done that before in my life. Then last night I woke up soaked with sweat. Might be half the reason I'm tired during the day any more. If there are any sewing or craft fair conventions in my area I'm going to attend them. I love it! I sound like a old maid but at least I'm having fun doing it. It will come in handy. I ordered a Sewing Machine today and I should be getting it on the 23rd. That way if I'm behind in class at all I can sew the rest at home. I am going to attempt to make a robe. I want to make my own patterns and designs. I'd like to TRY to make some French Bulldog stuffed animals. Well see how that goes! Here is the sewing machine I got. It's a pretty standard one. It has some nice options on it for when I get better at sewing.
Wednesday October 17, 2001 - I made a few updates to the site yesterday (the new Video's "BLOW-Beautiful women of Wrestling", pics of Me, Billy and Jazzie). We also had a script written for the Schedule a few days ago and it's more user friendly now. I trained with Angie yesterday morning then again today at 2pm. I have my sewing class tonight and all ready bought my design and fabric for it. I mailed off another mouse pad after I got the order in this morning. If I'm not on here (computer) or at the gym it seems like I'm in bed. I wish I had more energy. My sister called Monday Morning and couldn't get her computer to reboot. I even had Jeff talk with her to see if he could figure it out. We both think she has a virus and it wiped out her hard drive. So she is going to have to take it in. There is no way we can fix it from here.:(
Tuesday October 16, 2001 - Someone named Randall made Wall Paper for me (Thanks so much Randall!) and I will put it in here that way if you would like to have it you can save the wallpaper jpg. Venus Wallpaper 1 and Venus Wall paper 2. One is a higher quality then the other is all.
Monday October 15, 2001 - Man what a day. I ran on my treadmill for 30 minutes this morning then basically went back to bed. Then at two I went to the gym and had to stop by a few places on the way home. After I got home I ate then went back to bed and that is where I've been since. I didn't even go to class tonight since I was so very tired. I just felt like shutting all the curtains, making night come and staying in bed.
Sunday October 14, 2001 - I won't get that little dog. I will wait a couple more years. It is the best, I am glad Jeff is firm and holds me back at times. I think we all need that from someone once in awhile. I have been watching a lot of HGTV lately. I just love to make things and that show has a lot of ideas and teaches you different ways to make things. Watching it gave me a great idea of how to decorate my bedroom. It's going to take time to get the things to decorate it with since I am saving for taxes and all that. My bedroom looks kind of bare at the moment. I ran on my treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday. I then cleaned my house then did my Show at 5pm EST. I studied a little of my Spanish later on. Today I did my show at noon then worked on the computer most of the day it seemed. I have been studying Spanish all night. If you see some of my website with Spanish wrighting by some of my sentences don't pay attention to it, it's for my benefit so I'll remember my Spanish. I work on here every day and I need to remember and that is a very good way to remember things. I have little post it notes in spanish all over my house now.
Friday October 12, 2001 - I'm really really trying hard! I would like to adopt this French Bulldog puppy and Jeff said it was up to me. Well today I decided to get her and he then tries to talk me out of it. Little brat. I feel like being a rebellious teenager. Which I wouldn't! I got up at 7am this morning, couldn't sleep any longer. The new guy we hired to put Fertilizer in the yard came around 7:30am and did our lawn and sprayed for some kind of scales that was on our plants. After he left I ran on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I took a shower and got ready for my show I had at noon. At 2pm I went and trained legs at the gym with Angie. She got my Order in which was a pair of Otomix "The Ultimate Trainer" Shoes and Fitness Stripe Pants.I got home and ate a little then got fucked so good by Jeff. Ahh man.. To bad I couldn't use that to somehow get my puppy!! I know, I know grow up, 3 is a crowd and all that. I love my dogs and want a little Girl Frenchie. Ho Hum... Gosh. Geez man. I want to write this lady back and tell her I want her. I sit here and stare at this darn email. I can't seem to delete it! I don't want to delete it. Geeeezz! I've got to figure out a way.
Thursday October 11 , 2001 - I got up this morning and ran on my treadmill for 20 minutes. I jumped in the shower after that and worked on my computer a bit and also made some minor changes to this diary. I really didn't do a whole lot, other then that. I surfed the net for a bit and put some more Pro tan on, so when I flex during my shows I look a little more cut. My show tonight went ok. I had fun. We went out to eat and I had Chicken Pasta. It was a great meal and I didn't eat all that much but I still feel a little heavy from eating it. Jeff took some pictures of me tonight during my show as I was flexing and I thought I'd post one of them. Tonight. I called my Grandma today and talked to her for a few minutes. I haven't talked to her since before I moved here. She acted strange. Maybe because I haven't called in so long. Who knows.
Wednesday October 10, 2001 - I got up and made Dog Food first thing this morning, I then mailed a couple mouse pads off. When I returned from doing that I ran on my Treadmill for 15 minutes. I worked out with Angie at 2pm then came home and worked on the computer for a bit. We went to the grocery store so I could pick up some more meat to make more Snitzle. I made that when we returned then took a shower to get ready for class. I laid down and took a nap for a half hour then finished getting ready. I went to my Sewing class and had a good time. We start to sew next week so I need to go pick up a Design and some fabric from the Craft store before next Wednesday. I'm a little excited about that. We learned to take Measurements in class today. My Measurements are looking pretty good! I was a 36" Chest, 25 5/8" in Waist, and 37 7/8" in hips. I didn't think that was to bad.
Tuesday October 9, 2001 - I didn't go to bed till late last night. I had to make a couple mouse pads and I had Spanish Class till 9pm. I stayed up till around 1am then made myself stop working and go to bed. I had a 10:30am appointment with my trainer Angie so I had to get up fairly early to eat and get ready. Then I had to stop and mail the mouse pads off on the way home from the gym. As soon as I got home I had to eat then do my show. By the end of the show today I was about exhausted so I took a nap but didn't really get to sleep. I ate pretty good all day then tonight I had some Snitzle that I made then a chocolate donut. I was bad and I feel like crap because of it.. But hey, we all need it once in awhile. We did a lot of lunges today and a variety Circuit kind of workout. I got my mouse pad order page up last night as well so I was busy working on that. I need to work on it more but I'm really tired tonight. I need to study my Spanish to. I got 40 out of 51 right on the test and the only reason I got the others wrong is because I got the "ie" mixed up on a few of the words. Errrr.
Monday October 8, 2001 - With another case of Anthrax believed to be around here I am starting to think maybe I should stay home until they know if others are sick that don't know they have it. That shit has a 100% death rate.
Sunday October 7, 2001 - I got up this morning and I now weigh 135 pounds!! Such a relief. I ran on the treadmill around 11am this morning after my shower. I ran an extra 15 minutes at 3pm so I ran a total of 45 minutes. I'm thinking about starting to make and selling my Own Custom made Mouse pads. I can just about do anything. As long as it's a pretty high quality Image I can make it. You could pick any image you wanted to make into a mouse pad and if you wanted anything Additional on it like writing etc I could do it. They would cost around $15 Dollars (that would include the shipping as soon as I find out on Monday how much the shipping is on a mouse pad). Do you all think that would be good to do? I could even have one set Graphic for Land of Venus for those of you who just wanted to buy a Land of Venus mouse pad. The Standard Graphic would cost less (around $12 which includes shipping).. Let me know if you like this sample or should I have workout gear.. Sample Pad.
Saturday October 6, 2001 - I've been a bit busy the past two days. I had a show at noon yesterday and right after that I had to go workout with Angie (my trainer). Man we did one hell of a leg and shoulder workout. I got home and we left for the store to pick up a few things to eat since My fridge was bare, except for egg whites! yuk, can't stand those every meal. I made myself something to eat when I got back and scarffed that down in 5 seconds. I always eat fast. I put on Pro Tan after I feed the boys and laid down for ten minutes. I am dark now! I have been making mouse pads since late last night. I help the rescue and donated some to them to help with fund raising. This morning I got up took a shower then ran on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I had to wash the excess tanning stuff off me. I made egg whites and potatoes for breakfast. The lawn guy came and did our lawn work while I was cooling down on the treadmill. Besides doing my show I was kind of lazy today.
Thursday October 4, 2001 - Does anyone read my message board? If not then please do since I post any updates I make to my website on it. Gosh, I feel so alone in Cyberspace! I'M IN NEED OF HUMAN CONTACT. Well I'll post another picture Jeff took of me today. I'll call it fresh from the Shower. Angie who I talk to online (not my trainer) had her baby yesterday!! A 8 pound baby girl!! Next week I'll be working out with my Trainer Angie 4 days instead of 3. I've been running on my Treadmill Every morning this week. From around 10-10:30am Eastern Time. So if you want to catch me on cam doing that you can. I had my first Sewing class last night. How fun. I learned the parts of the machine and how to set the thread and all that good stuff. Also how to sew in straight and wavy lines.
Tuesday October 2, 2001 - I got up and ran on my treadmill first thing this morning. I ran over to the store after my shower and picked up a few things for lunch. I ate Tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. I was studying my Spanish for a couple hours today. I know numbers 0-29 and my days of the week. Don't mean I can pronounce them correctly. Jeff took a few pictures of me during my show tonight and I can tell having her train me is helping my body in a good way. Here is the picture from tonight Oct 2, 1001. The lighting is awful in those pictures so it don't really flatter my complexion. I had my show at nine pm.
Monday October 1, 2001 - I couldn't get out of bed today. Talk about an effort. Thank goodness I have Angie training me or I'd have never made it to the gym. When I got home I ate then walked up to the little produce stand up the street and bought some sweet potatoes for the dogs food. I then made the dogs food then laid down and sleep another hour. I have my first Spanish class tonight.
