Moving Along…

by oceangrrrl

So the day of commercial love has come and gone! I have survived!!! Heart is still intact!!! Not like it was ever in any real danger or anything, but it does make a lot of stupid decisions!!!

I would also like to take this time to apologize for my last post. It was waaaaaaaaaaay more whiny than I intended. Life is not that bad, but the universe was frustrating me a bit, and I shared my emotional outburst with everyone like a broken-hearted, temper tantrum, flailing, screaming toddler who just wants that bright, shiny object at the checkout counter. Some of you, I know, truly enjoy living through my craziness. Maybe I make you feel sane? Others I am sure wonder why they still have me in their FB friends list. And still some of you are truly interested in reading about the randomness of my days. This, I believe, still helps with that whole sanity thing. 😉

It was a pretty good weekend though! The weather was beautiful!!! Yesterday I went to see Fifty Shades of Grey with Miss D! NOT as racy as the book, but damn!!! Definitely, uh, made the theater feel a bit hotter. Definitely! Aft wards we went out to The Reservoir for some grub. We split the smorgasbord, which is a sampler of basically their fried appetizers. After ordering it I ordered a skinny rita. This made me feel like the chick at the fast food place who orders a diet coke with their super sized order. It was Valentine’s Day! Totally worth it!!!!!!!! After all that, I went to River Legacy where my best friend and I hung out and played catch. Always fun! Although my arms were a tad spaghetti-ish from the gym that morning. It was awesome Chinese food for dinner and then back to my mom’s where we stayed up watching Aliens until 2am.

Today was an early day. Lunch at Central Market with family to celebrate my sister in-law’s baby shower. Then we all went to the gun show!!!! Woohoo!!!! Nothing says Valentine’s weekend like a family trip to the gun show!!! Can’t find my damn ammo anywhere, or if I do it’s super expensive! Argh!!!!

Anyway, need to get all cozied up in my nest and pass out! I have an assignment for you all! I was reminded of this yesterday, and it always makes me laugh! Go to YouTube and search for “fucking tea”. You’ll be happy you did! Should be the first video on the list! If you don’t think it’s funny, well then, we need to work on your sense of humor!!!

Good night and sweet dreams!

I Feel Like Writing A Bit…

by oceangrrrl

So I am chillin in the car. Just thinking. My stomach is making random noises like something out of an aliens movie. The wind is blowing as a Texas cold front continues to drop our spring-like temps back into winter reality. Although a Texas winter is like spring to the North. I am not apologetic about this. I like not having to step outside into weather that hurts my face. It’s nice! No negative thirties here! Woohoo!!! So 😛

I have so much randomness going through my head. Especially since stupid Valentines Day is fast approaching. It’s stupid, because I’m single. Not that I am really in a place in my life to start a relationship, but the thought is always nice. Can’t really bust out with a, “Hey baby. Why don’t you come back to my place?” Hahaha!!! Yeah! Like guys living with their parents aren’t a turn off!!! But you know, just because I’m not relationship worthy at the moment doesn’t mean that I don’t like to be hit on. I mean, really? And I’m sorry, but creepy, stalker guys that live in windowless vans don’t count! Oh sure we could share car living tips, but I will not be seeing what that shag carpet looks like in the inside. Nope! I will not get in your van thinking I’m helping you as you load a couch into it and push me to the back. I refuse to be a dress!!!!!!

Seriously though. This is where my self confidence thinks, wtf? I don’t need anyone else’s approval, but then again I do. It’s flattering when people are nice and hold open a door or they smile or say or start s conversation. But it’s so rare for me anymore. Am I ugly? I don’t think I am. I mean, I’m very far from Miss Texas pretty, but I don’t look like that chick from A League Of Their Own either. You know the one!!! Am I intimidating? I don’t really see it. I’m always smiling and trying to keep my body language open, but obviously I am doing it all wrong. Maybe I come off as a but stand-offish? Maybe guys don’t like women who can take care of themselves? Maybe I’m too tall? Maybe I’m too fat? Maybe maybe maybe!!!!!!! It’s enough to drive somebody insane!!! Hit on me dammit!!!!! Say hi! Use a GD pick up line you got off a gum wrapper! Anything!!!!

I need sleep. I’ll just be dreaming of an adventure I’ll most likely go on alone…

What Happened???

by oceangrrrl

I sit here at Hooters after having some much needed wings and a large, dark beer, and I decided to pull up my blog stats. Albeit there are still roughly six hours left in the day, but no one has read my blog. This saddens me in a most pathetic way. It’s ok. I don’t need the weird ego boost I get from finding out how many people have checked out my randomness, but it is nice. And yeah. I realize I have gone overboard on my calorie intake, but I still plan on going to the gym even after going for a run today. So 😛

Have a good evening! I know I am!!!

It’s Been A Whole Week!!!!!!!!

by oceangrrrl

So it is Tuesday yet again. I kept meaning to get on here and write, but then laziness would take over, and I am prone to falling into the black hole of laziness. It seems the fatty tissue around my brain enjoys lounging as much as possible. Thank God for the part of my brain that enjoys randomness and excitement and adventure! Woohoo!!!

So anyway, back to the point of this whole bloggy thingy. The last week has been a roller coaster. Work has been absolutely insane! Not the good insane either! The overwhelming one!!! Just trying to deal with that one day at a time. My trainer is still trying to kill me. We did legs last Thursday. If you know me you know I’ll push myself. I might stop for a quick rest, but I will keep trudging along. My legs hurt so bad Friday evening and into Saturday morning that my trainer had me get the foam roller out. Rolling out my quads hurt so badly I was shaking. Then my trainer started rolling out my calves, and I just wanted to cry. Damn you lactic acid!! Damn yooooouuuuu!!!!!!

The weekend was spent at my mom’s. Madi and I were supposed to go to my step-sister in-law’s baby shower. Madi wasn’t doing so great, so instead of risking contaminating the mother to be, we just stayed at my mom’s. We watched John Wick! Is was so frickin good!!! Anyway, I got some archery practice in on Sunday.

So, work is already crazy this week. Just an overload of insanity. Loving my time at the gym! Missing my mini me! The car has been comfy and cozy although I have been sleeping like shit lately. Frustrating as usual when insomnia decides to start kicking in. I am soooooo sleeeeepyyyyyy. And on that note I am going to sign off and enjoy my little cocoon. Sweet dreams!

Hmmm, Tuesday…

by oceangrrrl

Back in the car after being on hiatus since Friday. I was reminded this weekend that my mom’s couch is the most uncomfortable piece of furniture to sleep on. I also came to the realization that houses are like inescapable vortices for me. It’s so difficult to fall asleep in someone else’s house. Then I don’t sleep well. Then I have to trudge through tar pits to get moving in the morning. Maybe I dread a commute? Maybe my body wants to be lazy? Actually, I think that’s it. My brain is in agreement with my body to be lazy, and then it’s just a battle for that tiny voice in my head urging me to get going. Ugh! Damn brain and body working together for the good of nothing!!!!

So this weekend was stressful. Lots of drama! Lots of broken family drama! You know. Work has been crazy busy, pretty much nonstop. Workouts are kicking my butt in a very good way. Sleep has been kinda crappy. I haven’t been consuming enough water. All possible contributing factors to my getting so pissed off about someone that I just wanted to rearrange their face! It would probably help. Alright, that’s mean. But it’s kinda true… 😉 But seriously! This person has no room to say anything about me but still needed to talk shit about me to people I know and show me their bitchy, controlling attitude in an attempt to show their displeasure in my proving them wrong on something. So frickin stupid! It’s not fucking high school!!! Whatever! Just another person I have to deal with constantly for only another 4 1/2 years. I can wait. 🙂

Alright! Trainer almost killed me on Saturday! I was quite sore through yesterday. Even my butt was sore. It hurt to sit on it. 😦 I dd skip my Sunday and Monday workouts though. Bad girl! I know! Told my trainer to remind me not to do that sort of thing again. I think I will be feeling that reminder through Thursday. Not sure if I mentioned it in the last post, but I lost 7 pounds in 23 days! I am happy with it! This month I will be attempting to exceed my goals and run a 10 min mile! Wish me luck!!!!!

The munchkin and I learned how to drive a tractor on Sunday! This weekend we’ll learn to do more. Woohoo!!! Ok. I am tired. Going to get some shut eye. Sweet dreams. I’ll write more this week. Ciao!

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…My Cocoon.

by oceangrrrl

Being back in the car I forgot just how comfy it was in here. It’s always a bit strange parking at the office since there’s some little “security” car that drives around. Whatev. As long as she doesn’t bug me we won’t have any problems. Just sayin.

I was so comfortable this morning that it was just difficult climbing back up to the front seat to get my flip flops on and grab my bag to get ready upstairs. Then I was alerted to what sounded like an animal being eaten alive maybe twenty feet from my spot. It was horrific!!!! There’s a creek that runs directly behind me, and there are plenty of wild things back there. But dear god! If you’re gonna eat something alive at least go for the throat within the first five minutes!! Geez!!!! I did finally get moving around 6 am, which is when a couple people start showing up around the building. The last thing I need is for people to see me in my zombie-like, morning state climbing out of my vehicle. Ugh! It ain’t purdy!!!

I am a little excited today!!!! I bought a hitch-mount bike rack off Craigslist today for $100!!! It can hold four bikes! It even has a feature where you can extended it out to where I can open the back of my car! Dude even gave me the lock he bought for it so no one can gank my shiznit! Now I just need to buy something to lock the bikes onto the rack. Thing is solid! And heavy! I’ll include a pic at the end. 🙂

Training is going great! We have now entered the phase where he is going to attempt to kill me. He has three chances a week at succeeding, but I keep on truckin! Everything always hurts two days later. So by Thursday my arms are going to jump off my body and run away in order to never be used again for strength training purposes. You think I’m joking. :-/ Thursday is going to be a leg day. I already know that is going to hurt like a mother fucker. Yep. Gonna hurt! But it’s such a good hurt! Unless I have to sit down… I think you know the activity I speak of. It’s happened to most of us.

So food wise, being back in my car, I haven’t really set anything up that’s special. Since I am back to watching my calories I can’t do too much sake drinking before bed, although that might be on the agenda tomorrow night. Mmmmm. Sake… It’s basically oatmeal or something for breakfast. Usually coffee and creamer in there. Trying to get my protein levels up, but even with my protein shake I miss the mark. Can’t really cook, so it needs to be something I can grab on the go that isn’t so over processed it’s just a frankenfood. I keep believing I will cook up stuff on the weekends to eat during the week. Yeah… That seems to be working in some parallel universe, but obviously not in this one. If anyone has any suggestions on how to add more protein to my diet while remaining calorie conscious, please share. I have heard that pea protein is all the rage now. Can anyone support this randomness? Anyway, seriously, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

With that I am off to dreamland. It be late. I be tired. Have a good night and sweet dreams.

I love you angel pie!!!!!! 🙂

Getting Back Into the Grooooooooove…

by oceangrrrl

Sitting at my dad’s for the last night, eating a bowl of organic raisin bran, and getting a load of laundry done before I enjoy the comfort of a bed one last time before cocooning myself in my vehicle again. Since the holidays started through my dog sitting time, I haven’t spent any time in my car. This translates into my car being a wreck (I put part of my backseat up for human transport), and now I need to reorganize. I have crap spread between different bags and suitcases, and I have accumulated more stuff from Christmas and my birthday. I have not made a trek to storage in quite a while, so nothing has been dumped off over there. Saturday I went through and cleaned out the car. Dropped off all my sake at my mom’s. Now I have stuff that needs to go to the office and stuff that needs to go to storage before I can fully enjoy the comforts of my home. 🙂 Basically, tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Woohoo!!!!

Anyway, had a pretty good weekend. Met a woman I love working with for the first time on Friday. She works for the company that my company distributes for, and it was awesome getting to put a face to the voice. Nothing at all what I imagined her to look like! Crazy how the mind does that. You get this idea of what someone would look like based on their voice, and they never ever ever look like what you think! Ever!!! Just crazy!!!!

Hung out at my mom’s for the weekend. Always love hanging out at mom’s, but I swear that place is like a vortex of laziness. I mean, it’s like a place to get away, and you just don’t feel like doing shit. It’s nice! It’s relaxing! I can be myself and not care about the world. At least until my mom and I start discussing politics and randomness. Then a fire is lit, but we’re usually thinking along the same lines. Usually. Love you mom. My sister dropped by yesterday and today. Always good to see her! It’s weird being over at mom’s and she’s not living there anymore. I always love it when all of us girls are together!

So Texas weather is crazy! It was cold and rainy most of last week, and now it is warming up again. It’s supposed to be in the mid-seventies through Thursday!!!! I think I might be mixing up some outdoor time with my gym time this week. Maybe get some vitamin D production going. Today was the beginning of the warm up. It was windy as all hell, but the sun was out and shining, and the sky was a beautiful blue! I decided to pull out the ol’ bow and get some target practice in. Damn wind! Damn wind!!!!!!!! I didn’t do too terribly bad, but boy that wind made it a challenge. Hell! It’s been so long since I last practiced I’m surprised I hit the damn target at all!! It felt good though! It was nice shooting something! I just picture someone’s face in place of the target bag and voila! Instant stress release! Just kidding! I wasn’t picturing anyone’s face, but now that I have thought about it I wish I had.

Alright, I am going to finish up laundry and do some dishes and go to bed! Oh yeah! Must enter my calories for the day! I have been really really bad this weekend! But it was oh so worth every fattening, calorie-dense morsel!!!! Eh! I’ll work it off this week I am sure! I won’t have much else to do but go to the gym. On that note, good night and sweet dreams!

It burns!!!!!!

by oceangrrrl

Still not in my car. Totally lounging at my dad’s this week, because I keep putting off reorganizing my “home.” I am being lazy. Yep! L-A-Z-Y! That spells not-getting-up-off-my-ass-to-do-what-I-need-to-do!!! 🙂

Besides that all is great! Work has been crazy busy, and I almost had a mental breakdown last week. From the craziness of a project to people hammering for crap to an ex idiot trying to say I have publicly slandered him and has sent a letter to the Texas Supreme Court and reports me to Facebook!!! Oh noooooooo!!!!! What will Facebook do?!?!?! Obviously they don’t give a rat’s ass, because they haven’t done shit. Oh nooooooooo!!!! The Texas Supreme Court!!!!! I really don’t think they give a rat’s ass either! Idiot! Dear god where do I find these losers?! Why do they find me? Why do they exist? All I wanted was to start this new year off great! And then BAM!!!! DRAMA!!! In my G D face!!!!! Whatever. It was last week. He’s an idiot. My life is great, and one loser isn’t going to ruin it, dammit!

So, I have started training. Started two weeks ago. Definitely feel a difference already. My trainer is pretty awesome, and very cute, which my daughter busted out with (and now denies). Yes. He is. But he is also a great trainer! I am so glad my old trainer recommended him! Different style than I’m used to, but that’s a good thing! Hitting the gym again is great!!! Although I let myself go for far too long, and I hate that I have gotten so weak and fat and just ick! Moving on…

So there’s really not too much going on over here. My mini-me has her first competition of the year this Saturday, so that’s pretty awesome!!!! She is doing great in school, and makes me so proud! I love my angel pie!

With that I am going to sign off. I don’t have much to really update you all on, and I’m sorry, but I know there were a couple of you commenting on my lack of blogging. I hope I have satisfied that hunger for Bonnie-isms. Have a great night!!!!! Sweet dreams!!!

Randomness…

by oceangrrrl

I don’t really have anything particular to say this evening. Not really sure why I am even writing tonight. There’s no car update. The weather is shitty. I am tired. Hmmm…

So training has been going well. Still getting to know my trainer, and so far so good, although I did slack off a bit today. I was supposed to have a cardio day today. I mean technically I did. Dancing after midnight is still technically doing some cardio today, right? Totally makes sense in my head! So I did something at least. :). Then I went way over my calories today. They say lack of sleep can help cause you to eat more. And boy is it true when it comes to me. Food switch is turned off when I am tired. I will make up for that tomorrow.

Got to hang out at my mom’s today on the way back up from Austin. That was nice! I love my mom! She’s a little crazy, and I definitely know where I get mine from! Although I think I am a bit crazier. It’s always great spending time with her though. Had some hot chocolate with marshmallows, watched a little bit of Salt, and talked about cats and building her house and yeah, pretty much all the randomness we usually discuss.

Anyway, so that is all I am going to bust out with for now. Feel free to leave me a comment letting me know how boring this post was. That way I can keep writing about nothing just to bug you more. 😉

So on that note, good night and sweet dreams! Ciao for now!

Just a Quickie

by oceangrrrl

Well, I just wanted to write a quick note to let everyone I am still alive!!!! I know I know. I continue to slack on this whole blog thing. Yeah yeah. I’ll start writing more. It does strike me odd that any of you are actually interested in what I have to say, but just so you know, it also gives me the warm and fuzzies. 🙂 I like it!

So I started house/dog sitting and training this week. Poor dog. She is going to be so happy when her mama comes home! She is lonely, and I am not one to cuddle up with her, so I know she misses her mommy. Her name is Ginger. She’s a really good dog! Ugly (you know this, Min), but very well trained! Great dog! I also find the fact that she doesn’t like kids to be quite humorous. Yes. I think it’s funny.

So training is going to be fun! I really do enjoy it! I know it’s going to be hard and progressives get harder, but it’s still fun. So major props to my new trainer who makes torturing myself fun!!! I need this, and I know what the rewards are. I’m super excited.

Anyway, that’s all for tonight. I am super tired. Have a good night everyone. Ciao!
