i need to get in shape

  • Hey there homie G's. I'm back from my weekend. It was pretty fun. Friday afternoon I worked at Traffic then took Michelle and Dad to Applebee's in Alameda for dinner. Then I had time to come home and chill for about an hour before coming to work here. It was TJ's bday so there were lots of people, pizza and booze at my place. I was so bummed that I had to work on a night where a great party was taking place. Oh well, guess it kept me out of trouble in the long run, and I made 8 hours of overtime in the process. Right after I got off that job, I took BART to San Fran to work at KDFC until 1pm. Then I promptly I went home and CRASHED. I was so exhausted. I was up for 25 hours, and working 19 of them. I totally fell asleep on BART but woke up a stop before mine, at the Coliseum. So later that evening I woke up around 9pm and made myself some supper and watched TV until about 1am, then went back to bed. That was my Saturday.
  • Sunday morning I woke up at 8:30am, got ready, then Cathy and I picked up Michelle and Dad and headed on up to Sebastopol to visit Mom's grave and go to the Gravenstein Apple Fair. We made a few stops along the way, to get gas and Starbucks of course. Visiting mom and my other dead relatives was bittersweet, but it was still good to be physically close to where she is, if that makes any sense. I mean spiritually she's not there, but you know what I mean. The apple fair was okay. We honestly only stayed about an hour, if that. It was mostly dirt and leaves everywhere, and very rugged terrain to push Dad's chair around in. The arts and crafts people sold were overpriced, but the food prices weren't bad at all compared to other fairs, rock concerts, etc. Corn dogs were only $4, could have been worse. That's what Cathy and I had for lunch. So nutritional, I know. Then we headed on home, not before stopping at Starbucks again. Hahaha. Yeah my family has a caffeine problem, can you tell? Later on at home, I forced Cathy to watch some cheesy movies with me. Boltneck (starring Matthew Lawrence featuring my man Judge Reinhold with Shelly Duvall.. haha), and then Little Giants with the commentary from Icebox and the director. Cathy gave me a makeover during Little Giants and took pics of me with Amy's camera which we borrowed since mine is being fixed. I hated most of my pics because of my numerous chins. I hate my chins. I think I need to exercise more. I work so much and when I'm not working I'm trying to get enough sleep. I actually did some Taebo type exercising a while ago before I started blogging just to get my heart rate up, hope it helped. So after I kept on complaining about my chins, Cathy decided to go on a walk with me to the duck pond and I felt better. We decided to do more exercise together when I can (plus I go to the gym like twice a week.. well I try to), and I need to buy an Allen wrench so I can adjust the seat on my new bike and finally ride it. So I'm going to try to be healthier and exercise, but it's way too hard when I work 60 hour weeks and go random places on weekends where people say "It's okay Lisa, live a little." Very frustrating. I was also promised fewer treats sitting around the kitchen, but I'll see about that. Okay that was my weekend story/rant, now to do more surveys or something, maybe take a nap. Oh yeah, one week till VEGAS!!!!
