Yo.
I have to tell you that I am in a ton of pain right now.
This whole week was, I guess, pretty ok, but the pain.
Oh. The pain.
I hate my body sometimes.
A lot of you have asked if it is because of the Pilates.
My answer is, I really don’t think so. I think it is just my fibromyalgia kicking in.
I really hope it doesn’t get too bad. Because when it gets really bad I usually end up not being able to move. Which sucks. And it doesn’t really jive well with being a SAHM.
Okay. Blah blah blah. Who cares.

Let the wrap begin!

I launched this site for “D” the other day!

Go see her! Her design is so serene. I like it a lot.

I love doing the Thirteen flyin’ by the seat of my pants.
Let us see how it turns out, shall we?

1. I am watching Seinfeld right now. I love it. It’s the one with the shrinkage. You know… where George and Jerry are wondering if women know about shrinkage. Then they try to explain it to Elaine and she says, “I don’t know how you guys walk around with that thing.”
Great line! Cuz… really. I don’t get it either.
2. Tyson is out of town and it sucks. I.Am.Lonely.
Do you hear that Tyson???? Lone.Ly.
3. I’ve done pilates three days in a row. See. What I’m trying to do here is establish a habit. Does anyone know approximately how many days in a row I am going to have to do this for it to become a bonafide habit? Isn’t something like 20 days? Seriously. If you know, please, do tell.
4. I have been plagued this week by a freaking irrational fear that by my moving my blog to a new address it will just give some of you all the perfect reason to dump me. Pathetic, yes? I am scared of being blog dumped. Do you SEE what this blog has done to me?
5. Why on earth do I keep waking up being all sore and stiff? Why why why why why. Why can’t I just be one of these people that wakes up in the morning and is ready to go. I gotta tell you. I HATE being the person that wakes up and wishes that they could just go back to sleep.
6. Do you know what I would do for a sprinkler system right now? Really. Do you? I would do a lot. I don’t have a sprinkler system but I want a green lawn. This means that I get to spend a few HOURS every other day watering my lawn. I’m not happy about this. Not in the least.
7. My desk has a lot of crap on it. A.Lot. Instead of cleaning it up, most of the time I just push it all out of the way so that I can use my keyboard and mouse. Maybe I should just clean it up. Maybe.
8. I just watched “Just Like Heaven” last night. I had never seen it before. For those of you that have seen this movie, can you please tell me why the hell I cried? Can you? Because I still don’t know.
9. My ten year high school reunion is next weekend. I’m not going. Why? Well…. I’m one of those that pretty much thought high school was one big fat joke. I still keep in touch with a few friends… but I just could not imagine going to this reunion (read: high shcool dance with alcohol) and re-living the pain all over again. I just can’t do it.
10. My kids became unwitting advertisers for Togo’s and Baskin-Robbins the other day.
Just look at them.

Now tell me that you don’t want a sub sandwich and an ice cream chaser. Come on. Tell me.
11. Remember how I said Tyson is out of town? Well because he is gone I am not sleeping well at.all. Every little noise jerks me awake and I get the stinging fear that someone is in my house and is going to torture and kill me and the kids. I see a home alarm system in my future.
12. Some random cat keeps crapping in a planter box outside my office window. I cannot tell you how much this irritates me. I planted cyclamen bulbs in this planter and they haven’t come up yet. And I SWEAR. If this cat crapping in that box hurts those bulbs I will flip out. Does anyone know if it will hurt my plants?
13. I saw a spider in the kids’ sandbox today. Uh. WHAT? I pay eighty bucks every two months so I DON’T see any spiders. I came this close to calling my bug killer. This.Close. I just really fear spiders that much. I almost made the guy come out here for one mid-size spider. One. I’m proud of myself that I refrained. But if any spider nightmares pop up he is getting a call. A frantic one.

*Pilates, check*

So I took my kids to a park yesterday.
I know! I am such a great Mom! ~wink~

I was playing with the kids having a grand old time when it happened.
An attitude bigger than life, clad in head to toe pink, accompanied by her Grandparents, saunters up to the playground.
She was beautiful. And she knew it. Brown hair, pigtails, big eyes, and pink. Oh heaven, the PINK!
I think to myself, “Hm. This should be fun.”
Helene was mesmerized by all the pink goodness and Simon was confused by it.
Either way my kids were pretty interested in the Pink Assassin. (This nickname is shamelessly stolen from a very good friend of mine. You know who you are.)
The three begin to play with each other while I sit back and watch all the fun.
It didn’t take long before I heard, “Nyany nyany nyany… You can’t get me.”
Yeah. You know that sing-songy statement.

Immediately I was transported back in time to a playground when I was like five. Bad, bad memories of this very same phrase reside in my brain. I shudder at the memory.
I absolutely cannot believe that my children were being subjected to such an annoying phrase. So what do I do?
Nothing.
I didn’t have to. Both my kids became very indignant to this chiding.
Helene just looked at the Pink Assassin and walked in the opposite direction. Priceless.
Simon, however. He gave her the best “what the hell are you talking about” look that I have EVER seen him give. EVER!!!!! And then he proceeded to do exactly what he was doing when the sing-song began. He just turned around and slid down the slide.

I love my kids.
They have the best reactions to annoying situations.

…To Blogs About Hosting!

Lisa, the owner, is so GREAT!
If you are thinking of moving your blog you absolutely HAVE GOT to use them.
You.just.have.to.

Their service is fabulous and they are so quick!
I had some issues with how my template translated in Wordpress and Lisa fixed it. She fixed it within minutes of me sending an email about it. MINUTES!!!!!

I also forgot to thank Leanne in my last post for pointing me in this direction. Leanne. You are great not only for the Thursday 13 but also for helping me get off the Damn Spot!

*pilates, check*

I’ve moved!
AAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!

I can’t believe it is done.
Let me tell you this:
I.HATE.CHANGE!

I am actually sick over this. You would think I would be all giddy with joy….
But I’m not. I am just all freaked out.
Actually. The transition was pretty painless given that I paid for the transfer. I would have done it myself except… Well. I just don’t have the freakin’ time.
Thanks so much to Blogs About Hosting and their awesome Out Damn Spot Package. Without them I probably wouldn’t have gotten to this for MONTHS.

A few words about Blogger.
I am NOT a Blogger hater. I never really have been. The fact is that Blogger is very easy to use and turns out a fairly decent product for being free. For that reason I still recommend Blogger for anyone that is new to blogging or that is a “hobbiest” blogger.
I’ve gotten more serious about this blog thing which is why I made the switch. I wanted my own domain and I also wanted to make sure that my blog wouldn’t spontaneously crash and burn like I have seen happen to others. (See the blog formerly known as Purpose Driven Life if you need an example.)

Anyhow. The move is done and now construction will begin.
I’ve pretty much thrown myself into figuring out Wordpress.
Let the friggin’ games begin.

…And I will give you a movie with Jack Black in it.
I don’t know why I am so movie minded lately….
But.
Can I just tell you that I CANNOT wait for “Nacho Libre” to come out?

You have got to check out the trailer for this movie. (click on “video” then on the left side you will see the “theatrical trailer” link. click on it.)
Watch it. And then just try to come back here and tell me you didn’t laugh.
Just.try.

On a side note:
Guess what I finally did?
Pilates.
I know. I exercised.
Is the world coming to an end or something? If you remember correctly, I had a New Year’s Resolution to do Pilates. Well…. failure that I am, I just got around to implementing that resolution today.
But guess what? I feel stronger, taller, and more sculpted.
Just like Mari Winsor said I would.

I plan on doing her 20 minute workout five days a week.
And because I am a glutton for punishment, all y’all will know if I did or not.
