Playin' A Ninja

After listening to Inner Ninja, I started a thread on facebook asking what the past tense of "swim" was.  Which is swam, or swum. Depending on how it's used in a sentence apparently.  Thanks Erin.

Until I looked up the lyrics, I always thought he was saying "playin' a ninja" as well. So there.  I got that straightened out.

I am slowly getting back on track to saying good bye to the old me.  Well, the "extra" me.  I am almost back down to my lowest number. There have been A LOT of ups, and some downs, but the main thing is from now on, it's still going down.  

Sandy and I have been out on a couple of walks.  Took her dogs out yesterday.  That was a little more exciting for me, I think, than her :)  On evenings we are both off, I think we will get to the Cove and try some of the "off the beaten path" trails.  I am still walking around the two malls on my lunch breaks.  I am going to up the distance with going around the parking lots too. 

Now, if I could get the eating down pat. I always seem to have a problem with that.  I am doing better with not eating out as much.  But eating at home usually consists of something with bread or pasta, or processed meats.  Something quick and easy all because I am too lazy to make a proper meal, and with Shawn and I having completely different schedules, makes it hard to make something proper. 

I have been spending way too much time on Pinterest.  You can follow me here: http://pinterest.com/pearlgirl7877/ Well, you don't need to follow me, but you can check me out anyway :)

There are tons of recipes and stuff I'd like to try, and some of the shakes look delish.  Thought about getting some ingredients for some of the detoxing shakes.  Just to see if they help any.

Either way, this is my little rant for today.  May be back in another month with some complaining!  

Cheers!

~SO MUCH TO DO, AND SO FEW PEOPLE TO DO IT FOR ME.~

frustration

They say "Money can't buy happiness."

I don't know about you, but it can sure buy me happiness indirectly.  

• It could buy me a gym membership, that would make me happy

• It could pay what I owe to get caught up on my monthly bills, that would make me happy.

• It could buy me some new clothes that are in season (even last season), that would make me happy.

I won't say that I am not happy. I am okay, I guess.  I am just feeling frustrated with monetary problems I/we are having.  

It seems like we get one bill paid up to date, and because it's paid up, we have to let something else get behind.  And when that gets behind, the phone never stops ringing.  You can only come up with so many excuses that are believable as to why the bill hasn't been paid.

I know we are not the only ones.  Everyone has this problem, but sometimes I look at the people around me and the green eyed jealousy monster rears it's ugly head.  I feel like that a lot of the time.  Like people have everything handed to them on a sliver platter. 

Who knows, they may be getting by pay cheque to pay cheque like us.  Maybe they have a hundred credit cards.  Maybe they are just able to make a budget and stick to it. 

All I am asking for is, maybe $1,500 to cover the "past-dues". That would also include a couple months of a gym membership. Because I KNOW that would make me happy and perhaps get me out of this horrible funk I am still in.
