TMI... I'm sure.

I'm gonna warn ya that this post is likely going to be Too Much Information for many of you. But I'm sure most of you will read on anyway.

I'm just so freaking horny this past week. But M is having "that time of the month" right now so I'm just suffering. It's so annoying to start thinking about her while I'm at work and then I feel like I'm 13 again trying to hide the results of those thoughts.

I guess the good thing is that we know M isn't pregnant though. M and I both have little interest in having children, much to my mother’s disappointment. We do like children in general, but not for us. We much prefer to be the cool aunt and uncle that buy Christmas presents that my sister and her hubby wishes we didn't. (The mini drum set we got one year for our 7 year old nephew was a BIG hit! It was banned to the shed almost instantly!)

Well I had to work all day Saturday so this whole weekend was pretty well shot because of it. All day Sunday I kept thinking is was only Saturday and just messed up my head.

Friday night at bowling I didn't do so hot. All three games were between 160 and 167. I just couldn't get my strike ball to finish off and I'd leave the damn 10 pin. For me, the 10 pin is the hardest one for me to pick up and I kept missing it. No matter what kind of adjustment I'd make I would always leave the friggin 10 pin.

I did start up a poker game to help have a bit of fun though. The way it works is everybody puts in a dollar for each bowing game, and if you get a strike or a spare you can draw a card up to 5 cards. Then for each one after that you have to discard one card and then draw a new fifth card. At the end of each game the best hand wins that games pot. Everybody seemed to like playing so I'm setting it up to be a regular part of the night.

I need to fix my riding mower tonight. The yard looks more like a field than anything right now and it's making me a bit nuts to see it like that.

I did go through our garden Saturday between rain showers and pick everything that I could. The only thing still producing is the hot pepper plants so I'll hold off on tilling everything under for another week or two.

I gotta tell ya, those hot peppers are HOT! M made chili on Sunday and it was awesome as usual. There is going to be a chili cook-off at the end of October and she's really thinking of entering it. I think that she should.

My diet over the weekend didn't suffer too badly. With me having to work on Saturday I didn't get to go overboard like I might have. I did drink a few beers yesterday watching the games and the race. I didn't win any money off of the UT game or the NASCAR race though.

Well I fixed the riding mower last night so I spent the rest of the evening cutting the grass on both my property and the neighbors. No one lives next door and the house is empty, so the guy that owns it comes up every week or two to mow. Since we go to church together and he's let me borrow his trailer a few times I try and cut the grass for him once in a while as re-payment. I need to get my string trimmer fixed now. It's not feeding out the line like it should and last night I was running out of daylight to work on it.

So tonight after the gym I need to finish the trimming and then pick up all the loose grass in the yard. I'll add it to my compost pile and later in the year I'll move it into the garden as fertilizer.

This morning I was sleeping so good, I honestly thought about calling in sick just to stay in bed... But here I am at work anyway. Sigh. It's a lousy way to start the day when the first words out of your mouth are, "Ah, shit!" Anything that makes you start swearing the first thing in the morning ought to be outlawed!

I made a small change in my diet today and I think I like how it's working out. I get up every morning at about 4:50 and the first thing I do is feed the cats. Then I make a protein shake and then a breakfast sandwich to eat as I'm getting ready for work. This morning I wrapped the sandwich up and took it to work instead. By spacing out breakfast it seems to last much longer inside me and I don't feel so stuffed in the mornings. And then I don't seem to need a snack in the AM so that's one less thing I'm eating in the day.

Well, I think that's all I've got for now. If I think of anything else you'll see it here..........

I busted ass at the gym. I figured out that I burned lunch, morning snack, and the protein shake I made this morning all on the treadmill in thirty minutes. Whew! Then I hit the weights and did a bunch of core exercises to make the old waist a little smaller. I’m using smaller weights in order to burn calories and tone up. But on certain areas I’m pumping heavy weights to build a bit of bulk. If I ever see any six pack abs you folk will be treated to a picture of ‘em. Sorry that really wasn’t a threat, even though it sounded like one.

I’m Alive… So Far…
