Reagan's 3rd Birthday

Someone is having trouble with the turning 3 thing, and it that would be me! I just cannot believe how much she has grown. She is 3 going on 15, throwing dirty looks left and right (no idea where she gets that) and pure girly attitude. As my friend Lauren, who teaches preschool, said: "I don't teach preschool, it's more like a room of 3 year olds who think they are in high school". For example here was one of our convo's last week:

Me: "Reagan, I'm busy and you will just have to hold on a minute"

Reagan: (stomps feet, crosses arms, pouts). "Ughhh, whatever Mom"

Me: (trying not to bust into hysterics) "excuse me, young lady *giggle* we do not talk like that"

Enjoy the pics from her party!

Workin it out

Wow someone has been neglecting blogging duties? Well that's what happens when you get a little busier I suppose.

Yesterday while I was doin my elliptical thing (by the way friday evenings at the gym are awesome, because no one is there). I realized, I've been at this for a little over a month now. I have made it to the gym at least 3x a week, but I aim for 4. From the time I started I am down 6 lbs, so needless to say I am pretty jazzed. I like having the hour to myself, to clear my head and witness all the strange things one sees at the gym (revert back to tuesday though process). Not to mention, there has only been one time Fox News has not been on one of the tvs. As if it is some sort of Y law that it must be on at all times. To be honest, one hour with Glenn beck and a few clips of Robert Gibbs bumbling like an idiot really does wonders for increasing your heart rate. I have concluded that is probably all Gibbs is good for, besides being the worst press secretary ever.

Looking back, this month has been pretty much amazing. I feel like I am in a lot better "place" in life and the journey to "know thyself" shall continue.

Wordless Wednesday: But with Words

So what is more important to you today, Itablet talk or SOTU?

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday Thought Process (at the gym)

This is pretty much now it went:

Why am I here, I am so tired I don't want to do this?

(while weighing on scale) I weigh 2 lbs less than last week, the scaled lied to me yesterday, okay let's do this

Oh hello hot army guy, you do not match today

(10 mins into workout) man I am sore, and tired and why am I doing this again?

Oh yes, beach body, beach body. MILF status again, clothes fitting, long hair

Let's find that maneater song, that outta get me motivated

Gosh I love that fox news is always on here, it's like a "rule"

Hey I haven't seen any of the hot workers lately, did they stop cleaning the machines?

Wonderful I am the only one on the elliptical now, and everyone is watching my giant ass

Turn around snarly lady on the treadmill, yes my machine is making weird noises but I am not stopping 25 mins in when I have a rhythm....

AGAIN, crazy why are looking at me, turn up your ipod!

Oh tiny asian girl, wonder if she runs marathons. Why does she wear eyeliner to the gym?

Awesome crazy lady will now stare at her instead of me.

I wish I had more water, but I am not getting off this machine until I am D-O-N-E.

Great, person #7 I've seen from high school, awkward.

Hot army guy is stretching too, score!

Okay he isn't that hot, kinda looks like a bird, I like his tattoos.

(back to lockeroom) Please do not let me be the 80 year old naked woman changing right when you walk in, ever.

And do not let me wear giant mumbo granny panties either.

(leaving locker room) Hot army guy again, wonder what his last name is, inspect back pack, nothing maybe he's a poser. Actually he could be a guido, I should rethink this.

(getting DD from nursery) Dang it the ladies here are talking about cheeseburgers, I want one, no I don't, yes I do, blah!
