TGIF!!!!

Wow! I am so glad it's Friday..you don't even know. It has been a week of pure hell here at work. Come 5 o'clock...today, I am going to run out that damn door! Mr. Burns and I had a huge blow up Tuesday Morning and it has been downhill ever since. He totally threw me under the bus in front of our Branch Manager..yelled at me, berated me and made not only me look like a fool, but himself as well. He's such an idiot and I have learned, as two face as they come. He definitely is not a co-worker you can trust. I have tried so hard to get along with him...have patience, count to 10 when he pisses me off, but Tuesday, he was a total dick. Yeah, I said it...he is. At this point, we are not even speaking unless it is work related, and the highlight of my day is when his toupee'd ugly head heads out the door.

So, with being ill, dealing with some female health issues, crap here at work...I am more than ready to have a wonderful weekend with the hubby. Kids are gone again for the weekend (coming home Sunday night), so hubby has promised me a romantic date night tonight and tomorrow. I am so excited....we are going out for dinner/drinks tonight, maybe to see a movie....I heard Dinner for Smucks was really good, really funny...I need some laughs, so we may go see that...and tomorrow night, we are going to one of our favorite restaurants, on the Wabash River...McGraw's steakhouse....yum, yum....

Not sure what else we are going to do...I am sure there will be a little housework on my agenda (as usual) and at least one trip to the gym on Saturday. With being ill the past two weeks, I have really gotten behind on my running and strength training. I have done much better this week. So far I have ran 15.5 miles for the week, worked out my abs one night and last night, did full strength training on my legs. I am so sore today I can barely walk. Which means I taxed my muscles good. I was planning on another short run after work tonight, before we go out..but, I can barely walk. So, it is probably best I take easy. Tomorrow, I will run 4.5 miles, making it 20 miles for the week. Not too shabby.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...

DixieChick....out.

Roller Coaster ride....

For the past two weeks, I have felt like I have been on a roller coaster ride with my health...finally, I am starting to feel better. My energy levels have returned and I am on the mend...I managed to work out twice last week. So, I have started this week with a bang...I ran 7 miles last night. It twas glorious! The only thing that could have made it better, would have been if it was an outside run.

Tonight, I am back to the gym, for another run and some ab/leg work. I am shooting for four workouts this week. If I continue to feel better, then it is definitely doable.

During my "illness"..hubby has been so very supportive. He has taken such good care of me and been more than understanding. I couldn't ask for a more loving husband.
He is, as he has always been, my knight in shining armour. (smile)...

We have been kidless the past week and a half. I miss my babies....Max is with Grandma and Grandpa at the lake...spending his days swimming, skiing and golfing. Playing with his friends. Aaron (10 year old) is spending time with his dad and family in Terre Haute.
So, it has just been hubby and me...kind of nice..but, as I said I do miss my babies..

I would be 100% if my health completely returns (still dealing with one little issue) and if I could find another job. Mr. "Burns"...is still an asshole and makes my work environment pure hell each and every day...Where can I purchase a voodoo doll? Do they really work? If so, do you have to have a piece of thier hair? Because if so, I am out of luck..as Mr Burns has none..wears a god awful toupee'....

I so need to win the lottery.

Nothing to see here...Might as well move along...

I have been one very sick, run down woman....I have not been to the gym in a week...and then I only worked out one time the week before that. I am slowly on the road to recovery. Just know that at this moment in time...I am not too happy with myself or my life. I try to be healthy, exercise,eat right...then BAM!!! Illness out of nowhere....but, in the mean time...I have worked every day...and drug my sick decrepit butt home immediately afterwards, every single day for the past 9 days.

I am going to the gym for the first time in a week, tonight....I plan on starting slow, seeing what my energy levels are....I hope I do ok..I miss the old Dixie....I want her and her health back....

God Help me....

Can You I.V. Coffee??

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me? I am so tired today, I could go to bed at this very moment, 10 30 a.m., and sleep until this time tomorrow. I haven't been sleeping so good as of late and last night, instead of working out, I came home straight after work. I had a stomach ache, for some reason, and felt so exhausted, I just wanted to lie down. I pretty much did that. I took a shower right away, lay on the couch, pretty much the entire evening. The only activity I had was making a snack for myself and the little one, getting him in the shower, unloaded/reloaded the dishwasher, made hubby's coffee before he left for work.

Before bed, around 9 30, I took two generic sleeping pills, and was in bed by 10 30...and I slept sound, all night....so, why do I feel so flipping tired? I have got to take a step back from all of my activities and just rest or I am going to collapse...I can feel it. I have not worked out since last Friday, so I am going to try and go to the gym tonight. I will start out with a small run, see where that takes me and if I can't soldier through, then I am going home.

Something has got to give...I am on my third cup of coffee and it is not helping...can this stuff be I.V'd??

Seriously????

My newest Obsession....

Um...I know I may be almost 40 years old..but, I love this show! I just read about it on a blog a few weeks ago, so I checked it out online, started watching all episodes on mtv..and I can admit, I have become hooked...Hubby laughs at me, says it is too young..for me to be watching...but, I like the drama! I am a reality t.v. addict.
My favorite is Snooki...she is so annoying, but you can't help but like her....Her "waaahhhh" she makes when things don't go her way, cracks me up...And Ronnie..omg..his laugh is infectious! Yes, I am secretly a teenager..lol...but, anyway, do any of you watch this show? Season 2 starts in a couple weeks, I can't wait!

Other reality Shows I like: Cake Boss, 19 kids and Counting, The Little Couple, Tori and Dean, 16 and pregnant, Kendra and yes, even Kate Plus 8....

What reality shows are you addicted too?

So Tired....

This is kind of how I feel today...I don't know what is wrong with me...but, I am so exhausted. All of the freaking time! I could get 10 hours of sleep, still wake up feeling like I do when I only get 5 or 6 hours. Although, my weekend, as usual was pretty busy...After work Friday, I ran errands, went tanning, then went to the gym for a four mile run; then home to get ready for a night out with the hubby. We went to a sports bar, where people from work were meeting up. I was invited by one of the guys, in a off handed kind of way...so, hubby and I went...it was so lame, we bailed rather early, stopped off at another pub, then headed home. I didn't get in bed until around 3 a.m....and was up by 9 30 Saturday morning.
At noon, I started cleaning house and 4 1/2 hours later, hubby made me stop. We had plans that evening to meet up with a friend in Indianapolis, so we had to run to town, to pick up some things and then head home to start getting ready. I was so tired, I really didn't want to go..but, in the end, I bucked up and got ready. We left around 7 pm, headed to Smee's Place in Indianapolis...had a cocktail and some dinner, we met up with our friend, hit up another club in Indy, called it a night and headed home. Once again, another late night.
Sunday morning, hubby and I were both woke up rather early, as the church, directly across the street from our house, had an old car "cruise in" and a gospil campmeeting sort of thing, lots of loud car engines revving, they had an intercom system, blaring gospel music, people coming and going, parking in front of our house, on our lawn...not even bothering to ask permission. I was so ticked off. If we had been blaring music that loud, I am sure the police would have showed up and cited us for disturbing the peace, but it was apparently ok for them to do so. There was no way we could sleep with all of that racket, so we just had to get up.
Hubby left around noon to drive to Rockville (one hour away) to his parent's lakehouse to pick up Max, and left me at home. I spent the afternoon reading and finishing up some tv shows online. I finally took a shower and laid down around 5 for a short nap. Hubby got home a little after 7, we grilled out, relaxed for a short while, then he went to work. I tucked Max in and I was in bed, exhausted by 10 30..yet, I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned all night..and today, I feel like a zombie. What is wrong with me?! I am so tired, I could cry. I hope to make it to the gym this evening for a short run...3 miles...better than nothing, but I just don't know if I have it in me. There is a red bull in the fridge that I plan to drink @ 4 30...hopefully, that will help power me through a run. I sure hope the rest of this week goes by rather quickly and this upcoming weekend? Well, I am not doing a thing, but rest, rest and more rest.

Later.....
