So what the hell have I been doing since my site was down, you may be asking yourself.

The answer: Not fucking much. Thursday night I met my girls Gigi and Jade for Mexican and margaritas, then we went over to another friend’s house for an Arbonne “party.” For you single men out there, these product parties are just guilt trips to make you buy some shit from your friend. But I do like Arbonne and ended up buying a new line, Intelligence (and, no, it wasn’t just for the name). I got a ton of bonus crap and I’m all about the gifts. I had another margarita and it was delish. I love me my margaritas. I do I do I do.

Friday, I felt like shit. I’m blaming my seasonal allergies and the weather, not the tequila lol. I did take an Aleve before I went to bed Thursday night. But, I did manage to have a kick-ass workout Friday evening, which pleased me. I was sweating like a motherfucker but no more huffing and puffing like I’m going to die right then and there.

Today, I slept in, did some stuff around the apartment, then went to the gym. Today was pain-in-the-ass workout day. 20 minutes of hard cardio, 20 minutes of strength training, 20 more hard minutes of cardio. I showered and got dressed there then went off to Wal-Mart. I could not stop sweating. OMG. I had beads of sweat on my forehead the whole time I was at the store. When I finally dragged in all the groceries, I had to wipe my face off. Fortunately, not too long after, it started to rain and the humidity broke. I did get asked out to dinner tonight, but it was a last-minute thing and I had (a) already eaten and (b) my dinner was not sitting well with me. Just my luck, I buy chicken at the fucking Super Wal-Mart and it’s going to kill me …

Monday, I’m driving to and from Chicago. In one day. That’s about 7 hours in the car. All to sit in on a training session at a school so I can learn more about the product I’m writing two courses on. The training isn’t until 3 p.m. my time (Chicago is an hour behind) so it’s going to be a long-ass day. I have to go into work to pick up my car — Hertz is dropping it off — and I guess I’ll do whatever until it’s time to leave.

I can’t believe I have such a busy week ahead … Chicago on Monday, writing class on Tuesday, hair cut/color Wednesday night (yay, red streaks!) and then dinner and a play with colleagues on Thursday. I’m going to wear my kick-ass black and white dress, which should look super kick-ass with my new hair color. It’s time to update the photo on my weight loss page and fortunately, one of my coworkers is a major albeit sometimes creepily surreptitious photographer. I have one picture he took of me probably 3 1/2 years ago, one in which the former flame and I are talking by a pool. The photographer chose to stand behind some bushes giving it a very tabloid feel. That got people talking …
