Celebrating 106 posts!

I meant to celebrate 100 but I have not been paying attention to my random posting and missed it completely.

Oh well. That's what you live with when you subject yourselves to my kind of crazy. So in celebration I will finally let you all in on the why's of my absence and what I am up to now.

Bullet point fashion:

• Been terribly sick.
  
• Still not totally better but at least I am not coughing up little green blobs all the darn time.
• Worked out a little too hard and irritated an old knee injury.
  
• Have not been to the gym since.
• Need to get back to the gym as my weight is getting out of control.
  
• One week post injury I weighed 313.8
• This morning weighed 305.0
• Thank Jebus for diet progress.
  
• Reading the Complete Beck Diet for Life.
• Makes a lot of sense.
• Took on a lot of extra hours at work.
• Started an at home business to bring in a little extra money.
• Still looking for a billing job.
• Not sleeping well, therefore staying in bed for way too many hours every night.
  
• I have no life.
  
• Please don't pity me
• Or envy me for that matter.

So there you have it. The short explanation of my long absence.

Thanks for hanging in there and waiting for me to return.

Gotta go to work now.

Does this ever end?

Love Jenn

Best Comment 4EVAH!!!!11!! (Thanks Glaven!!11!!)

Jenn needs ... to blog more often.

Where you been, sister?

Jenn needs wine that soothes the soul
Jenn needs a pagan festival
A brand new hot rod - hear it squeal!
O, just grow up, Jenn! Time to deal!
Jenn's true self might just be balking
But "Jenn" and "True Self" now ain't talking
Jenn needs, yes, more Godly buddies
To catch up on Theological Studies
Jenn: remember and recall
That Jenn needs Google most of all

Otherwise, how would Jenn know what Jenn Needs?

Jenn Needs

I know I have not posted in a while. Life is getting away from me these days. Marcy and Xenia both did this non-tag-tag and it looked like fun so I did it too. Cause I'm a follower like that!

Google “[your name] needs” and type the first ten results.

My results for Jenn needs:
1. Theological Studies (always a big concern for me!)

2. to find a self righteous, conspicuous "I'm better than you" charitable position so she can keep charming the sheep into thinking she matters (It's like they are reading my mind!)

3. a good job and a vacation (Who doesn't these days?)

4. a new boyfriend (I most certainly do not!!!! The old one suits me just fine, thank you very much.)

5. To Grow up and Deal (Well maybe... but not yet!!!)

6. a hot rod...and a good insurance policy (Now your speaking my language)

7. My True Self (Scuse me but why would I want to talk to her? )

8. Healing thoughts and pagan festivals (Ummm...... OK moving on)

9. A VACATION!!!!!!!! (Wow... I guess I really do need one but there is no need to yell!)

10. a glass of wine (Now that sounds like the perfect place to end this post.)

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Yes, today is my 29th Birthday. One more year till 30! Yikes!

I know that I have been absent from the bloggosphere lately, but I have no excuse so all I can say is sorry. I have tones of stuff to tell you guys but it will have to wait till another day cause I am super busy and have to get ready for my hot date tonight. lol. I also have to finish my tag post from Glaven.

Just call me the procrastinator!

Happy Training,
Love Jenn

P.S. Thanks Marcy for the Face Book shout out! That totally made my day!

On to other news, Butter is so much better! She has her energy back and is ready to play again. There has been no more bloody vomit or diarrhea, Thank God! She is eating well and has started on her normal food a bit. She is done with one of her meds so she only has three to take now. She was taking them really well but I think she is getting annoyed with the syringe. She tried to bite it yesterday and today she only licks it once then she walks away and I have to pick her up and force her to take it. Poor girl. I will be glad when wednesday gets here so we can stop with the meds and bland diet and just get her back to a regular schedule.

As for exercise, I am a little off course. I will get back on schedule. Butter is more important to me than the gym. Which is probably why I struggle so much. Everything and everyone are more important to me. There is a lesson there, I am sure of it.


Will Ferrell Cowbell - Funny bloopers R us

On another completely random note, What is up with the " More Cowbell" thing? I have seen it a few times and still don't see anything funny about it. I am normally amused fairly easily and can almost always find the humor in just about anything but I have never understood " More Cowbell"! I just don't get it.

Happy Training,
Love Jenn

UPDATE COMMENTARY ON COWBELL

Glaven's comment ended in "Are you kidding me!?! Are you freakin' KIDDING me!?!1!? Cowbell is the greatest SNL skit 4evah!!1!

Will Ferrel's gut should have won a best supporting actor Oscar, even thought Cowbell isn't a movie!

It's that good."

This does not explain the humor to me at all. However, to be fair, I should explain that I have not found SNL funny in a very long time. To me it just seems like they have lost the core of the show. I do believe that my last review of SNL went something like "What a huge steaming load of crap!" so maybe I will never understand the funny. Lets face it people, in my eye's the cast of SNL could never stand up to the humor of Mr. George Carlin. May he rest in peace!

And does that last comment ever speak volumes about me! I think that comment disqualifies me from having an opinion on just about everything that most people find funny.

Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yesterday started out well. I went to the gym and met up with someone I knew from class. We worked out together and had a blast so we made plans to meet today for another workout! It is so fun to have someone to work out with you.

I came home and prepared for this mornings interview.

I spent some time familiarizing myself with my sewing machine.

Then Whit came home and we made dinner together.

After dinner we where sitting watching CSI when we heard a noise from behind my chair. Butter had vomited up a huge puddle of blood. We took her to the emergency vet immediately because she didn't stop at one pile of bloody, mucusy vomit. She kept going!

We were both pretty scared, we didn't know what was wrong with her! She has had some diarrhea lately as well and we wondered if that had been the beginning of something much worse.

When we got to the vet we discovered that she had blood coming out of both ends and was quite dehydrated. They ran some tests and decided that she has hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. (I am positive that I did not spell that right.) They wanted to keep her there for a couple of days but we just didn't have the money for that so we brought her home. I have to watch her at all times to make sure that she does not vomit blood anymore. If she does we have to take her back to the vet. She had a bloody stool this morning but otherwise seems to be stable. She is on a bunch of medications and a bland diet for the next 7 days. She is sleeping peacefully in the other chair right now. I pray that is a good sign.

We got home around 2 am and went straight to bed. I had to go to that interview this morning. I could not get around it. So I was forced to cage Butter and leave her for an hour or so.

The interview went really well. I will not be hearing from them for a couple of weeks but I am slightly hopeful. I think I did pretty well considering the lack of sleep and stress.

I am skipping the gym today. I may nap in the chair a little. I might even have ice cream. Today, the only important thing in the world is my Butterball. Everything else will just have to wait.

It's been a good day!

I started out with a healthy breakfast of PB&J Oatmeal. So yummy! After that I hit the gym for some cardio and lowerbody work. I did 15 minutes on the bike and 15 on the treadmill. I was planning to do more treadmill but I wore myself out on the bike. My lower body workout went really well except that I think I need to add in something to work my ginormous booty. Nothing I am doing currently is working that oh so important spot.

This afternoon Whit and I ran some errands that where way behind schedule. I also purchased a learn to sew book and some necessary supplies at JoAnn's Fabrics. I can't wait to get started on my first project!

Well, that's it for me today. I am going to sign off now so that I can enjoy the Premiere of The Biggest Loser! I love this show! I will probably spend some of the show on the bike. Ugh!!

Have a great day!

Happy Training,
Love Jenn

UPDATE: I have a favorite already. I am so rooting for Tara! She is amazing. I can't wait to see how she does.

I am also going to sign up for the Pounds for Pounds challenge so that every pound that I lose will help to feed someone in need. Kind of ironic, isn't it!
