Mike
When I was in Oklahoma I saw my ex-boyfriend, Mike. He has worked out for about 40 years and you can sure tell it. His body looked like a Greek god. Unfortunately, he's a butterface. It's always something.

Christmas
It finally feels like Christmas because I am home, Oklahoma. The people are so wonderful here. They are the nicest people in the country. I am thankful for being so blessed.

Drive
It was very nice to have a companion for the drive to Norman, OK. I do most things by myself so I am used to it but the drive Oklahoma for holidays and to see my family is such a grind. It's not so bad from Houston as compared to Corpus Christi. My drive is now seven hours to get home but when I lived in Corpus it was 600 miles and a lot of road construction a long the way the entire time I lived there. One time it took me 15 hours to get home for Thanksgiving. It was such a bummer. I usually didn't fly because it's expensive to fly anywhere from Corpus and it's expensive to fly into Oklahoma City. I could fly to Los Angeles or New York City for less that it costs me to fly into Oklahoma City.

Vivi on Nck
After Nick visited Thanksgiving Vivi has a whole different opinion of him. She said she didn't realize he had been rambunctious. She was surprised. I told her that Nick was an angel when he was a little boy but as a teenager he put me through hell. He made me miserable a lot the time. Now, he is a different person and so sweet to me. He treats me with the utmost respect and is very affectionate. I feel like I have may angel back.

Pleasant Sunday evening
I went to Chelsea Wine Bar and had a Topo Chico and the Special and just made first pair of earrings, purple jade.
Job offer
For some reason, a man who used to work at the City asked me if I would like to come to work for him. Since I don't what it will be like now that my Assistant Director left I have thought it's a good time to keep an eye open for opportunities but I think it would be silly to jump at the very first opportunity.
It's another beautiful morning
I am enjoying the morning. I love the mornings when I don't have to go to work. I am taking the time do a few chores, including my favorite, laundry,and I have had my coffee. I am still working on getting rid of a lot stuff I don't need. Also, contemplating taking off on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Riding partner
I think I need to find someone to ride with besides June because she can't go very often. I need to start networking somehow. I am not in any circles around here so I don't know anyone who would be a good partner for a beginner like me but I'm sure there's plenty of people who ride around here.

Jewelry making
I have had a couple of lessons on jewelry making lately. My former boss' wife has made jewelry before and is getting back into it so she is teaching me. It's nice to have the one on one training. There is one little problem right now, sometimes I can't see what I am doing. Not too long ago I made an appointment with the eye doctor for the beginning of the year since it seems lately that I can't see very well. Hopefully, after I go to the eye doctor things will be better.
Today's Cardio Blast
I think that we did a lot of legs this morning. It may have just seemed like a lot of leg work because I didn't drink any coffee this morning before I went to the gym to do Cardio Blast.
Fun
We had fun last night. I had heard that the Spazmatics are different band members in every state and I think it might be true because one of them told me that they all live in Austin. He was talking to me about Austin and the political climate and requirements there since I'm a City Planner.

Grooming grooming there
Vivi and I were talking about manscaping & I said I just wish a guy would pay more attention to me than his own balls
Spazmatics
Tonight at the Scout Bar. This time I won't drink Vodka/Red Bull, I'll stick to beer. I can't wait. It sounds fun. Vivi is here so I have good company and a partner in crime.
Ugly Sweater Day
There's a contest at work today. Whoever wears the ugliest Christmas Sweater wins. I don't know what the prize is. I don't have an ugly Christmas Sweater. I was going to try to make one but I didn't have time last night. I am sure I have an ugly regular sweater so maybe I could wear that one and try to alter it quickly.

8:45
I left work at 8:45 and it was a long day. I don't want to get in the habit of being at work until all hours of the night...
Morning
It's a beautiful morning and one day closer to Christmas. I'm a little sore because June and I did Dirty Thirty (21 day Extreme) and then Leslie Sasone's Happy Mile at lunch yesterday. I think Harold is the only person available to exercise today so I am going to see if he will walk. We can do Leslie Sasone's Three Miles in 45 Minutes with me. I haven't lost any weight, I've gained weight, but I seem to be more toned. I've been working out religiously for over one year.

Christmas
Once again Christmas kind of snuck up on me all of the sudden I realized that you know it's next week and I need to decide what I'm going to do. I had a great Christmas Day last year and then I'd like to have another one this year I don't know if I could possibly top last year since I ended up getting a nice surprise visit. I'm trying to decide if I want to go home and visit my mom. And my friend Leslie will be in Oklahoma from the grab so I'd like to see her and her family.
My son's thoughts when he visited
When my son arrived for Thanksgiving the first thing he said when he walked in the door was, - do I need to help you clean your apartment. And then he commented on how short my hair is because I have really short hair right now but it was an accident I did not want my haircut like this and its not like the picture I showed the lady but you can't glue it back on and she started cutting in the back where I couldn't see what she was doing so I'm stuck with it just have to wait till it grows out. After my son visit then he said he was so happy for me. I'm some place where I'm enjoying myself I'm happy I have friends I like my job life is good. He also said he's been much happier since he visited me because he was around me and I'm happy and well adjusted. And he said that he feels like I've overcome a lot in my life and I'm well adjusted and happy in spite of all of the things that I've been through. I thought that was such a sweet thing to say because he knows that I've had a lot of challenges in my life probably more than anybody else he realizes that I've had to overcome some things and it was sweet for him to say that he recognizes that he thinks I'm doing well and I'm well adjusted.

21 day FIX Extreme
We're still doing our new workout. A couple of us have had some compliments on the changes already, not me but I do feel stronger. I need to get back to Body Pump.

Dynamic
Since my Assistant Director is leaving, today's his last day, the dynamic at work may change. I am not looking forward to it. I'm thinking I should keep an open mind but start checking job posting intermittently. Harold thinks things won't be better.
Time
I'm wondering how long it will take me to get rid of all the stuff I don't need anymore. It's a lot of stuff.
Taekwando
My Taekwando class is being cancelled because of budget cuts. That's the second time that one of the classes I like has been cancelled. Both were on Sundays which are good for me since I work Monday through Friday. I am so disappointed.

Winnowing
Now and in the future, I am going to be winnowing down my material possessions, mostly things that don't fit me anymore since doing Body Pump and P90 weightlifting has added to my, well, mostly my ass. I am thinking of slowing down on the Body Pump. If you put on a pair of pants and you haven't even zipped them up yet and you've got a camel toe IT'S TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES. Before I used to wish I had a bit more of an ass but...as they say, be careful what you wish for. I don't like being curvy. I prefer being thin. I do like being stronger so that is a benefit of working out. We started 21 day FIX at work and I don't what to expect since I am not really doing the diet, which is eating six meals a day. If we do the 21 day FIX again then I may try the diet too. It is a good work out, I sweat my ass off and I work out pretty much every day. One of the girls who is doing it with us hasn't worked out in years so I don't know how she gets through it.
Longmire
I watched Longmire and really liked it. Growing up, I think I saw every western with my grandpa, Dewey, so I have seen a lot of them. I spent many weekend afternoons watching westerns and wrestling or raslin as many Okies pronounce it. I don't even know if there have been many westerns on T.V. I remember another show with a sheriff as the main character, Chuck Norris was the star. It was on T.V. when I worked at night so I never really saw it so I can't compare it to Longmire. I wasn't familiar with most of the actors except for Lou Diamond Phillips who was good in the series but his character went off the deep end in the fourth season. The best character was the sheriff or Longmire. I don't remember seeing the actor in other roles but I enjoyed him in the role of Longmire very much and he was believable.

Show
Dwight Yoakam was good last night. I'm glad I went. I still don't see how he can wear his jeans so tight, it seems like it would castrate a guy.
James Avery
When I checked my mail there was a James Avery catalog in the box. I looked at it and saw that the ring I have been wanting is still available. I am not one of the women who is crazy about James Avery but started liking it after someone gave me a sand dollar necklace from there. I really like it but I don't wear it because it reminds me of him, not in a bad way, in a sad way. I thought I might be able to wear it for my birthday but then I didn't want to force it. One of these days I'll be able to wear the necklace and I won't feel sad at all but it will be one of those memories you have that is similar to something you read it a book a long time ago. I will be glad when that day comes. I hate regrets.
Great Snack
I had a red beer (if you don't know what that is ask and I'll tell you) and popcorn. Yum. Who needs meat?

Dwight Yoakam
Tonight, Dwight Yoakam is in town and I am going. I have been a little under the weather but nothing is keeping me from seeing him again. Once, while in Vegas, I decided to go see him because one of his videos had been on T.V. when I was in the hospital and it really cheered me up. I went all by myself because the girl I was in Vegas with didn't want to go. I had the best time. I ended up one the third row in the middle of Dwight's fan club. Two seniors, sisters married to brothers since right before WWII, gave me the low-down. After the show I knew who how old Dwight was, who he was dating, how to join the fan club and the whole nine yards. Most importantly, Dwight Yoakam wears a pair of jeans better than any other man on earth. And I don't believe he is as boring as a dirt sandwich as Sharon Stone said. I know I am a little on the visual side for a female but if I got bored with Dwight I could just look at him in his jeans. Okay, I'll stop sounding all pervy but everyone is permitted a fantasy or two. I don't really even have a crush on Dwight Yoakam or anything like that, I'm not that big on celebrity crushes. I think it would horrible to be famous-not that I am not on my best behavior most of the time-because every move one made would be under a microscope and criticized. Let's say I'm famous and I bought something defective and then I tried to return it and the sales clerk was crappy if I called the clerk on his/her crappy behavior then somehow it would be turned around and i would be the asshole in the scenario. Back to the show I am going to see Dwight because his video cheered me up when I was in hospital at one of the lowest points in my life, his show that I attended in Vegas about 15 years ago was a blast and ever since I saw Sling Blade and Wedding Crashers I am so impressed with him as an artist, especially his performance in Sling Blade.
Odd week
My Assistant Director announced his departure this week. It was at the Christmas dinner. I didn't go because I didn't want to but as soon as I got to work the next morning June told me the news. I knew he wasn't very happy but I thought he might try to suck it up until our Director retires next August. He is going to go over to Animal Control and he is taking a pay cut. I'm hoping he;ll be okay financially since he bought a house here and of all things it's a house I told him about. I was thinking that he should wait and see if he liked his job before he bought a house but I'm a little cautious with regard to big decisions,

Waiting
I called my bro, Scott, to ask him about something so now I am waiting to see if he has time to call back and chat. He recently moved to Tahoe for a new job and he is probably busy. I'm excited for him. Like me, he has started down a new path. Change is exciting and scary.
