October 15th, 2005 Skate Away the Weight 16 Comments

Alright, I’ve got a concept….and I’ve done the research….so here goes nothing.

 Skate Away the Weight

1 Pair of Black Skates = $95.00

2 Skating Rink Locations = Glendale, and Northridge

3 Hours / 2 days a week = 3 Hours at each Location

The Plan

Lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving

The Research

3 Month Plan to Lose 20 Pounds

The blue numbers in the following table are the number of hours you will need to skate every day to lose 20 pounds in 3 months without altering your eating habits. You can see that a 120 pound skater who can only skate 8 miles per hour will have to skate 3 hours a day or (more likely) combine skating with cutting back on the number of they consume. But if that same skater can kick up the speed to 14 miles per hour, they can lose 20 pounds in 3 months by skating 1 hour a day, with no change at all in their eating habits.

October 14th, 2005 Courtney…..only you….. 8 Comments

This morning started off interesting…*sigh*…

I woke up extra early because I couldnt sleep…Then finally when I got back to sleep, I realized it was 6:57AM and the alarm was about to go off ANYWAY. So I stayed awake. I did my usual morning, check emails, check bank accounts, get ready for work… But, I couldnt help but to lay back down. So I did….and I ended up waking up in a panick because I realized it was passed the time that I should be getting on the freeway.

So I eventually got to the front door and realized that I couldnt find my credit card. I mean, what would the morning be without . I couldnt find it…and the last place I remembered using it was at SavOn, last night. *head in hands* I lost my last credit card last friday and I had transfered money into THIS account, so I could use THAT card, and now…I can’t find IT. So now..I dont have ANY DEBIT/CREDIT CARDS….

….only you….

So when I got to our parking lot, I called incog from the car and let out some steam since I couldnt find it in the car either. He suggested calling Savon when I got to work and that he could go pick it up while he was running errands today. :thumbsup: I headed towards the freeway. I got there and realized it was going to be an EXTRA long ride on the 405 being that was backed up for whatever reason. It took me 1.5 hours to get to work BECAUSE OF THE DAMN 405. *sigh*

….only you….

So when I finally did get to work, I ran to get the mail, because I knew the mailroom would be closing….I got there and the ladies were being extra nice and let me have the mail even though it was closed. HOWEVER, on the way out of the mailroom, I couldnt get out. And the ladies had already locked themselves on the inside of the mailroom. So I was standing with LOTS of MAIL, and huge headache, in the middle of a loading dock underneath one of the tallest buildings in Century City.

…..only you…..

So I decided to get creative and use the freight elevator shaft. There was no one around…HEY! Why not?! So i got in, pressed 2nd Floor, the doors shut….aaaaaaaaaand……I was stuck.

…..only you…..

Eventually one of the guards heard me and let me out and I was able to get up stairs somewhat….on time?

I’m going downstairs to plead with the folks at Washington Mutual to let me have some money out of one of the accounts because I NEED some like I NEED a RIGHT ARM.

I hope you all have a good weekend,

Daily Humor

Very rarely do I talk about past or current relationships in depth…you all know me. But, over the past few weeks, I’ve been able to offer my friends advice and I’m actually proud to say that I can do that. I’m blessed to be able to have found Incog. It’s true what they say, the Lord will sometimes send you through some ISH to get you where you need to be. And BOOOOI….lol

A friend said to me:

I hate that all of my relationships end exactly the same way. A slow deterioration of phone calls then the complete hault of calls all together. I dont deserve that!

And I dont think anyone necessarily DESERVES it, I think it just happens when two people either grow apart or move on. In this case, I’m glad they decided to move on.

Among relationships and love, I’m blessed to have been able to have the things that I have; Home, food, clothes, water. Even the material things that we can sometimes take for granted, ya know? I’m happy to be applying to Grad School, and I know that if I dont get in, it’ll be okay in the end, because He’s just preparing me for something BETTER. Now I KNOW, I’ll be “Suzie on the Spot” to login and post about how sad/upset/stressed I am, if I DONT get in…but I wont hesitate to write the Positive either.

Anyhow, How have YOU been blessed? What kind of things have you been through, where in the end *by the grace of *, you came out on top?

Have a good HumpDizzle!
