I Can Do It!!

Waay back in September I joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training to fundraise and participate in a 30km Marathon in Phoenix, AZ. Unfortunately due to not meeting the minimum fundraising amount I was unable to participate in the Marathon. Several people contributed hugely to my fundraising efforts and in doing so have a teensy bit of leverage over continuing my training to participate in the 10km Sun Run here in Vancouver April 23.

Strongarm and I will be participating the Sun Run and maybe *gasp* running at least some of it. Holy freakin' goodness. I never wanted to run because too much of me moves no matter how I strap my curves to my body with spandex wear.

This is going somewhere I promise...

Last night tho' was an "OH MY GOD" moment.

In January I was measured for a bridesmaid dress that the bride was making. That made sense right?!? Last night I went for a fitting and found out that I went from a size 18 to a 22...because I've lost in my waist and hips but gained in my bust. Now itsa medieaval gown, fairly low in the front, royal blue with lacy sleeves (I'll get a pic when I can) but we *might* have to put a panel in the back because the top of the dress doesn't close.

Here I was all proud of myself because I've been training 1 hour a day...walking a whole whack up hills and down and going to the gym to do some cross training and all my work is going to shrink places and expand others. MyLuc isn't complaining so that's prolly why I didn't notice...right?

So now I have 2 goals...continue upping my walking training with a little jogging and running for April 23rd and lose at least 2 sizes in my chest (are we actually able to do that) before June 2.

I can do it...I just have to wrap my head around it and o'course believe that my efforts will shrink my girls.

Goodness eh?

Random Stuff:

I know that I'm a nosy person...or recognize the fact...when I hear someone in the hallway of my building...and I go to look out the peephole and almost give myself a concussion because I'm standing too close to the door.

Chloe aka Destructo Cat doesn't learn...twice during the night she stuck her head in the kleenex box and tried to run through the apartment. MyLuc saved her both times.

Chloe is too smart for her own good. MyLuc doesn't like her using his monitor to climb on the top shelf of his desk. Instead she goes from the back...up the curtains...and perches victoriously mocking him with her smartness.

I was off work for a few days because I tore one of the tendons in my bicep. How? Exercising would be so much better than say...Working. I was filing. Filing...how the heck? I don't know but the pain was horrid and now I have two tensor thingy's around my forearms because I have the onset of tendonitis. Lovely eh..

After lunch with my old roommate in which she learned that MyLuc and I are three years together this April someone commented that I had forgotten my crutches...gesturing to my tensor thingy's. I said no, they have nothing to do with crutches...and then proceeded to fall down the four steps into the lobby. The man then commented maybe I should have some.

MyLuc has spoken with his boss Paul now known as Paul Boss about my work situation. Paul Boss just happens to know someone in the field of law that might be looking for someone. This friend is a Physics Major who decided he didn't want to go into that field and instead went into law. Paul Boss also went through the Physics program and almost got his degree but got bored with it. I just don't understand paying the money and going through years of schooling and then deciding...naah. I need a change. But o'course that's my opinion.

Eight years I've worked in the legal field, legal assistant, secretary, receptionist, office manager, junior accountant. Two years I worked as a Security Guard, Prince George Pulp Mill searching trucks and BCIT in Bby being my longest places of employment. One year I was a Nanny for my cousin Dakota. *shakes head* mayhap it's time for a career change. I'll keep you posted.

I found out my mom has actually booked time to come down for my 30th in November. Totally excited am I!! I mentioned to her that our couch wasn't too comfy and that maybe we'd go out to Mission. She totally thought I was going to send her out by herself to stay with MyLuc's 'rents. It took a few minutes but now she knows I'll go with her.

*HUGE HUGS* More later...

*Shrug* Didn't know I had it in me...


You shelter a Friendly Demon like Chrono.
Peace-loving, sociable and kind, he is like the Demon of Darkness in the way that he is nearly always awake. He stays away from any useless conflict and always tries to resolve problems with him head, not his hands. Although beware not to hurt those he loves, or he will find a way to hurt you back, maybe 10 times worse.
