TGIF

whoopee

1. Thank God It's Friday!! Tonight I'm probably laying low and staying home to make Pina Coladas and watch Miami Vice. I really haven't gotten enough rest this week so I really need to take it easy. Saturday I'm hanging with Davina, probably shopping at Stoneridge or something.
   
2. My mom gave me an almost new blender Thursday evening. Michelle claimed it was broken but she just didn't know how to detach the pitcher portion from the machine. Now I can make pina coladas, margaritas, and milkshakes/smoothies. So awesome.
   
3. Went to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday morning, and I'm planning to go after work this morning as well. I'm so glad I'm getting back into the swing of things after missing the gym earlier in the week.
   
4. Mom said I looked like my back was getting smaller. That compliment helped my self-confidence a lot since I've felt like a fat ass lately.
   

ugh

1. Got in a stupid argument with a good friend last night. I don't know why she was so on edge last night and bringing up old stuff, but oh well. I like to let sleeping dogs lie. Whatever, we're still great friends anyway. Least I consider her a great friend.
   
2. It's still SO HARD to lose weight. My clothes are getting loose, but the pounds won't go away. Grrrr. Someday I'll hit 200 and go under that.
   

lisa the glutton

yay

1. Hung out Mike P, one of my old friends who I haven't seen in a few years. He was visiting from Oregon. We went to lunch at El Torito on Tuesday. Boy was it tasty. We sat and ate, shooting the shit for a few hours. Later on in the evening I went to dinner with Cathy and Amy at Olive Garden. Today I basically pigged out, I admit it. Now I DEFINITELY have to hit the gym this morning after work, no excuses.
   
2. I had some nice sexy dreams about my TV boyfriend Matthew Gray Gubler and Shemar Moore his hot costar. Okay they actually weren't so explicit, just when it was getting good with Shemar (whispering things in my ear), I woke up. Dammit. *sigh*
3. Later today I have a jock meeting and we're eating yummy mexican food. Yummy evil food two days in a row, hooray.
   
4. Mom went to the doctor on Monday morning. She has an infection in her good leg, but she caught it in time. She's taking antibiotics 4 times a day, I'm so glad she's getting better.
   

grrr

1. I haven't made it to the gym since last Friday morning. I was planning on going Tuesday morning, but I was exhausted and had just finished a 9 1/2 hour shift. That plus I knew I had to get up in 5 hours anyway to meet Mike for lunch. I am definitely going today, Thursday and Friday if it kills me.
   
2. My hormones are driving me nuts, I'm a walking progesterone factory. I've been bloated for the last few days, and my emotions are nuts. Cathy said something rather mundane at dinner and I started crying for no reason. So weird. That and my sexy dreams lately too. Haha.
   

Loads of fun

good..

1. Had a blast watching the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on Friday night with Noelle. The graphics were awesome and the plotline was pretty cool. Afterwards we went back to my house and watched some Jeff Foxworthy with Cathy, Amy, and TJ. Those three left around 11pm and Noelle and I just watched TV for an hour before I took her home. Good night overall.
   
2. Saturday I was out all day. After I got out of work at noon I met Davina, Anna and Valeria at the Museum of Modern Art there in San Francisco. I had never been there, and it was really neat. I thought it would be boring but I ended up learning a lot. I got a cool new Etch-A Sketch like toy. Then we went shopping at Virgin Megastore and a few other places for a while. Around 5pm we met up with Lorie and went to a Vietnamese vegetarian resturaunt. I was kinda expecting the food to be gross, but it was really good. I had sweet and sour "chicken" (which was really tofu), and it was tasty. I also had some rice, and wonton soup. After dinner we had ice cream at this laundromat/ice cream parlor/internet cafe. Only in San Fran.. LOL. Then we did karaoke in Japantown for a few hours, and headed home. Great eventful day.
   
3. Looks like this week is going to be full and fast paced. Between taking parents and a family dog to doctor/vet appointments, working overtime, going to meetings at work and catching up with old friends who are droppin into town, I hope I'll get enough sleepytime. I'm hoping to hit the gym on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday if all goes well. Depends on my work situation.
   

oh geez

1. My mom's had a sore on her good leg that just keeps getting worse and worse. We're taking her to the doctor later this morning. Either that or the emergency room.
   
2. Brad's got a family emergency goin on, so he can't come in today. I'm picking up Victoria around 7:45 and she's working 8am-8pm. I'm coming in early tonight and working 8pm-7am. Nice long shifts. Hope everything's okay in Brad's neck of the woods.
   

TGIF

hooray

1. It's the weekend!! WOOOOOOOO! Tonight I'm going to see the new Ninja Turtles movie with Noelle. Saturday I'm working in the morning then going to SF MOMA with Davina and pals, dinner, then karaoke. Awesomeness. I gotta work Sunday morning, but oh well.
   
2. Went to the gym yesterday morning, and I'm going again today. Hope it's paying off.
   
3. Went grocery shopping Thursday evening, got more veggies, milk, eggs and cereal. Good stuff.
   

grrr

1. Some stupid guy on a message board was talking about KDFC flipping to active rock and dropping the classical format. Haha. You know how much money Entercom would lose? Moving on..
2. I have 3 monster zits right now. Damn hormones.
   
3. I'm still a fatty mcfat fat. My metabolism sucks.
   

My car sucks booty

yay

1. Went to the gym on Monday morning, and I'm going today for a mini workout. I should also go on Thursday and Friday as well.
   
2. I actually fit into the NKOTB shirts Kimmie gave me over the weekend. I so thought I was going to be too fat.
   
3. Got a new friend request from a nice lady from South Africa. She says I show a lot of joy in my smile. That made my day. I love making new online pals.
   

boooo

1. My car died yesterday morning on the way to the gym after work. A nice taxi pushed me to the other end of the intersection so I could pull over and get out of the way. I had to wait about 40 minutes for the tow truck and I had to pee like hell the whole time. That's what I get for drinking lots of coffee at work. The tow driver was uber nice by the way. He told me a story about some girl at his daughter's school that is 11 years old and pregnant. Isn't that insane? Anyway I got towed to Pepboys and got a new battery and alternator. I'm praying to God that this solves my car probs.
   
2. I still feel like such a fatass lately I swear. I watched a video that Kimmie and I made over the weekend in Lodi, and I'm still hella huge. Seems like no matter how much I exercise and what I do/don't eat, I'm still a fatty. Grrrr. I have the metabolism of a sloth, I swear.

top of the mornin to ya!

whoopee

1. Went shopping and to dinner with Amy on Friday night. I picked up the wall charger for my iPod, and Davina's bday present. We also had yummy Mexican food at On The Border. Then we went back to my place, and soon Cathy, TJ, Jeff and Alicia came over. We all had a few drinks, some more than others. It was lots of fun. Saturday I hung out with Kimmie in Lodi. We went to Kmart and Big Lots, then came home and watched Supergirl. It was tons of fun.
   
2. I ended up walking 6 miles on Saturday with Kimmie. We underestimated the Mapquest directions to Kmart, and it took like 2 hours to get there on foot. Kimmie has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair, and many sidewalks in Lodi are NOT wheelchair compliant. I smell a letter to the city brewing. I'm adding this as something good that happened simply because I got lots of exercise.
   
3. Oh yeah on Saturday morning I didn't work in San Francisco, I took my folks to get the taxes done instead. I'm getting back over $500, which is awesome for me. Whoohooooo.
   
4. I had a fairly decent radio show yesterday morning. Plus Tricia hooked me up with a KKIQ coffee mug. Awesomeness.
   
5. I got my housecleaning done yesterday. Turbo left me subtle hints on the floor diguised as turds last night, telling me he was dissatisfied with his litterbox. So yeah I changed it, cleaned my bathroom and kitchen, straightened my desk, swept the floor, dusted, changed my bedsheets, all that fun stuff. Today I will have time for the gym, and I'm planning on going all week long, if I can. That will be totally rad.
   

ugh

1. Okay yes I have to mention the 6 mile journey with Kimmie on Saturday again. Yes I did get exercise, but the fact that the city's streets are not wheelchair friendly sucks major ass. Also their bus system stops running at 5pm, which is dumb. And their dial-a-ride (dial-a-shit) sucks.
   
2. I still feel like a fatty mcfat fat. I think my problem is that I've lost almost 30 lbs but you can't tell my looking at me. I've worn the same size shirt and pants since high school when I was 180. Until I really lose like 20-30 more lbs, no one will notice. I think my fat face is what makes it hard. Grrr.
   

lisa's car sucks

yippee

1. TGIF!! Today is Friday, and the weekend is here. Not a moment too soon. Tonight I'm hanging with Amy, and Noelle, Cathy and TJ may be joining us. I'm going to be drinking some rum + Dr. Pepper for sure. Saturday I'm taking my mom to do her taxes and then I'm going to Lodi to kick it with Kimmie for the afternoon/evening. I always have a blast with her, she's a great friend.
   
2. Went to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday morning, and I'm going this morning as well. I'm doing so much better with staying on track.
   
3. Bought lots of veggies at Albertsons on Thursday night, and more yogurt/cottage cheese. Good eats.
   

Blah

1. Some mean kids on Myspace were writing mean "fat" comments on some of my videos. Yes I know they're like 12 years old and plain mean, but it still hurts anyway. Stupid punkasses.
   
2. My car is still having issues. The dealer finally gave me the car back on Wednesday morning and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Uh huh. Car died again Thursday morning at the car wash. Had to get it jumpstarted. Pepboys said they could keep it for a few days, but I need my car dammit. So I bought a portable charger to put in my car, so I can charge the battery myself. I hate my car.
   

hate being a fatass

ok..

1. I had fun with Amy on Tuesday night. We ate dinner at Carrows then got some makeup at Walgreens. After that we drove around and listened to music from my iPod. I played lots of NKOTB. Haha.
   
2. I went to the gym on Tuesday morning, and I'm planning on going this morning as well. I'm also planning on going Thursday and Friday.
   

some days just suck..

1. I took my car into the dealership on Monday morning so they could take a look at it. They gave me a ride back to my house. My car is still at the dealership, and it's Wednesday morning. Two days there, they still can't find the problem. My battery is leaking a little acid, but "that's not the problem". I think they assume I'm clueless. All I know is I better get my damn car back today. It better be working. I can't afford a new car. Not when this car is nearly paid off.
   
2. For some reason unknown, tons of stupid kids have been watching my videos on Myspace. They have been making lots of rude comments about my weight. Yes I know, I'm the one who posted the videos, I just didn't realize how many mean people are out there. Especially the young ones. I have never felt the compulsion in my 26 years of life to say something mean like that to another human being. Yes I've called people names to their face when I'm angry. Everyone does that. I have never walked up to a total stranger and said "Hey you're ugly." or "Damn, you're fat." That's the equivalent of what these kids did. It's just plain wrong. Ok I'm 26 and had years of being made fun of in junior high and high school, that's why I'm so glad it's over with. I feel like I'm right back in high school again. It's terrible.
   

and such is life

woot woot

1. Had an excellent airshift on Sunday morning. I didn't tape it, and that's probably why I did so well.
   
2. Hung out with Davina, Valeria, Barbera, Anna, and Lorie on Saturday afternoon/evening. We went shopping on Telegraph in Berkeley, stopped by Lorie's place so I could give her a belated Xmas gift, then ate dinner at Pasta Pomadero. After Davina and I dropped everyone off we had dessert at Denny's. Yes I know I'm a fatass but the hot fudge brownie a la mode was too good to pass up.
   
3. I actually don't work Sunday afternoons in SF like I thought I did. My boss confused me with the scheduling. I was kinda bummed at first when my misunderstanding was brought to light. Then I realized I can go to the gym on Sunday afternoons, then come home and take a good nap before waking up and making dinner before work. More working out = more weight loss, hopefully.
   
4. Cathy and TJ came over on Friday night. They only stayed for an hour or so, but it was still cool.
   

oh lordy

1. Sunday morning my car decided to have issues again. It didn't start period. I had to walk down to my parents' house and borrow their van. My dad wasn't too happy, but I had to get to work somehow. Later on in the afternoon it wouldn't start either and Jaime's dad gave me a jump. He says it's either a sensor that's bad, or Pepboys gave me a bad starter. I think I'm giving in this morning and taking the stupid car to the dealer. I really have been putting it off since I know it's going to practically cost me my first born child. It's going to be one long day. *sigh*
2. I was stopping at my house to grab more sugar-free mints on the way to my afternoon job when I decided to drink some diet orange soda. Somehow my motor skills weren't in sync, and I splashed myself in the face and soaked my shirt with soda. It's funny now that I think about it, but I had to change my shirt and that put another damper on my day.
   
3. Like I mentioned above, I don't work Sunday afternoons in SF anymore. I found this out when I dragged my ass all the way there and discovered James working. I called my boss and he told me last week was only a temporary thing. The way he had emailed me a few weeks ago made me think this was a permanent schedule change. Grrr. I'm a little peeved about the extra money not coming in, plus wasting $7.30 getting there and back. Oh well.
   
4. I feel fat again. When I weighed myself on Friday morning I had gained the 3 lbs I lost a few weeks ago. All I can do is keep trying to eat healthy and exercising, I guess.
   

Aloha!!

woot woot!

1. Yes this is crazy but I'm going to Hawaii with Sandi next month!!!! She wants to go see Mercy Me and Audio Adrenaline in Waikiki, and have a vacation for once. I just need a vacation, period. I like Christian rock music a lot though, so I know we'll have fun. We're going to go on a few tours, see the Honolulu zoo/aquarium, and try to attend a Luau. It's going to be soooo awesome!
2. Went to the gym on Wednesday morning and got a good workout. I didn't make it yesterday, but I am going this morning for sure.
   
3. Hung out with Amy on Wednesday night and used my gift certificate for Outback Steakhouse. We went to the one in Dublin, and the food was great. I probably gained weight from it, but oh well.
   
4. Hung out with Amy and Cathy on Thursday night. We went to Petsmart and later took my mom to Albertsons to do grocery shopping. I got stuff that I needed. I need to tell Victoria they have Dreyer's Carb Benefit ice cream. I couldn't find Rocky Road but they do have chocolate.
   
5. Dad's making a whole lot of progress. He walked for like 5 minutes with his walker yesterday. He's eating Jello and some baby food, soon he'll be eating solid food before you know it.
   
6. Yay! Weekend time! I have no idea what's going on Friday night, but I'm shopping on Saturday afternoon/evening with Davina and Lorie. It should be a blast.
   

boo

1. I had to go all the way to SF on Thursday morning, just to get my timesheet signed and turned in. It was very inconviencing and I interuppted my sleep. Boo.
   
2. I ate horrible on Wednesday night at Outback Steakhouse although it was awesome. Cheesy fries, bread, etc. Thursday night we had Taco Bell. I had a taco salad, and bought a bean, cheese and rice burrito for later. Well, it could have been worse and I hadn't had Taco Bell in like 7 months. I have no idea whether I'm eating out tonight or not. If I don't I'm going to have some scrambled eggs/fried spam with some steamed veggies.
   

my raging hormones

:)

1. I want to say hi to one of my new blog readers Cindy, who found me on Myspace. What's up girl?
   
2. Went to the gym on Tuesday morning and got an excellent workout, and I'm going there this morning after work as well. I'm planning on going on Thursday and Friday too.
   
3. I got to go visit Fernando's baby on Monday evening, he's so cute!!
4. My friend Jill visited the set of Criminal Minds last week, and has taken tons of pics with lots of details about her adventure. Check out her blog on my links, it's awesome.
   
5. Ive got a pretty cool weekend ahead. Saturday afternoon I'm shopping on College Avenue in Oakland with Davina and Lorie. I need to finally give Lorie her Xmas present. I think we'll have lots of fun. I'm probably hanging out with Cathy and TJ on Friday night. I have that coupon for Outback Steakhouse that came in the mail, so maybe we'll eat at the one in Dublin.
   

:(

1. I don't know why, but lately I've been SOOO hormonal/emotional lately. I mean yes I am a woman and yes my Aunt Flo has been visiting.. but lately it's more than normal. I seriously think I have too much progesterone in my system. I can understand crying when meeting little Joey, but crying while watching Sesame Street, now that's kinda scary.
   
2. I was going to hang out with Amy last night, but she fell asleep. Oh well.
   
3. Lately I've been feeling really fat. It's like I think I'm making progress, then I take a pic of myself and become disappointed. I should just think of it as taking baby steps I guess.
   

eventful weekend!

whoopee

1. Had a good workout on Friday morning. My schedule is a little more complicated lately, so I'll only be able to hit the gym Tuesday through Friday mornings.
   
2. Fernando had his baby! (Well Grace did most of the work.. LOL) Joey Alexander Ramos is 9 lbs 2 oz.. not sure about the length. I haven't gotten to meet him yet, I'm hoping to stop by this evening. He was born yesterday, on my ex boyfriend's bday. How ironic.. I guess.
   
3. Went with Noelle to Dave and Busters on Friday night, and got a little drunk. I won an Elmo doll with my winnings, so it was a good night. Didn't have a great night at dinner, but I'll get into that in a minute.
   
4. Did a pretty decent radio show yesterday morning. My parents and Michelle were listening so I gave them an informal shoutout. It was fun.
   

boooo

1. My car still had probs starting on Friday morning here at work. I had to wait 10 minutes for it to kick over. It so pissed me off. It didn't have any issues the rest of the weekend so I'm not bothering taking it to the dealer or whatever for now.
   
2. Friday night Noelle and I went to Outback Steakhouse in Milpitas since the restaurant inside Dave and Busters had a 2 hour wait. It was a 45 minute wait there at Outback, but we were okay with that, being a Friday night and all. Once we were seated, I ordered the Chicken Griller which is supposed to come with wild rice, veggies, and a side salad. I asked for double veggies and no rice. I ended up with one portion of veggies, either that or their portions are really small. When we got the bill I was charged extra for the salad which was supposed to be included. I also paid $8 for an alcoholic drink which definitely wasn't worth that much. The bill for my order came to almost $30. I felt I was ripped off. Something did come out of this. I emailed Outback Steakhouse's corporate website and let them know I was dissatisfied. A customer service rep called me in less than 30 minutes, apologized for my bad experience and said he was mailing a letter and gift card on Monday, so I can try the restaurant again. I was surprised at the attentive customer service I received. This time I may go to the one in Dublin, it might be less crowded.
   

I'm a major workerbee

whoopee

1. The weekend is here! Gotta take Dad to a doctor appointment later this morning and help with grocery shopping this evening.. plus work my parttime jobs this weekend, but I don't care. Least I get my evenings free!
   
2. I got offered more hours at my job in SF. I work there Saturday mornings 7am to noon and Sunday afternoons 2-7pm. I already work Sunday mornings 6am to noon in Pleasanton, so I drive to San Leandro BART and head on over to the city. This is an extra couple hundred bucks a month, it rocks.
   
3. I helped out at KKIQ on Monday and Tuesday evening, Tricia said I did a kickass job pulling old CDs from the library. I'm gonna do a little extra help for her during Fox All Access on Sunday. I love helping people.
   

ugh

1. Cathy really pissed me off yesterday. We were supposed to do grocery shopping on Wednesday evening but she was tired. Thursday evening she was also tired. I haven't gone shopping in like 10 days, I'm running out of healthy snacks. She sure is snappy lately. I hope she's okay. Guess I'm more worried then angry.
   
2. Finally got new brakes + a new starter for my car, cost me about $650, this was on Wednesday morning. That evening, my car decides to have issues when I'm about to take Victoria to BART. I finally got it to start, but it was a pain in the ass. I took my car back to Pepboys, and they found nothing wrong with it. Just pisses me off that my car has issues and they found nothing wrong. Grrr. If it acts up again I'll keep going back until my problem is solved.
