Today's Horoscope

You may have been exercising too enthusiastically over the past few days, Pisces, and today you might wake up with more than your share of muscle aches and pains. You should keep exercising, but tone it down. Forget jogging and aerobics. Go for a little yoga or tai chi, which will enhance fitness with minimal strain. If you can, soak in a warm tub later.

Weird right???

A coincidence I think not....

Back to Reality

This is gonna be a quickie catch up post as this is my last day of vacation and I promised my hubby I wouldn't spend all day on the computer.

Ok so I lost another pound this week to put me at 228.8lbs. Not great, but not too bad either!....a loss is a loss.

This week on the C25K front I am starting Week 7. Tomorrow will be the start of constant running with no walk breaks in between. I'm on my way to 5K people.....ALMOST THERE!!!

My anniversary was great, and I would like to thank all my well wishers that sent me emails, texts, and comments on my blog. This was our "diamond" anniversary and my in-laws bought me a BEAUTIFUL pair of diamond solitaire earrings. I know....I was shocked too!
Dan and I also opened a special bottle of wine and had it with our dinner. My parents bought this bottle for our 1 year anniversary but we didn't want to open it. So we saved it for the last 9 years. It was a 1998 vintage, so it was actually a 13 year old bottle of wine of Chateauneuf Du Pape.

After dinner we got together with some friends (they are more like family) for drinks. I wanted to glam it up a bit so I threw in my extensions and rocked my new sunglasses. Here are a few pics of me hamming it up for the camera....lol

Back to work tomorrow, and reality. Have a great week all!!!!

10 Years

Mental Monday's

First off for all the bloggers that were begging me for my "Happy Ending Cupcake" recipe.....click here...Your Welcome!!!

I know, I know.....I haven't did a Mental Monday's post in awhile. It's hard people....it takes a lot of time to be creative, and frankly I don't have lots of it. Between work, family, chores etc. I don't have "hours" to sit and work on it. I'm sorry I have been slacking and I promise to try harder. Alas I have this Monday off due to "Labour Day" and also my vacation....So here you go......

Welcome to my weekly blog installment called Mental Monday's. A day for me to bitch about something without putting it into my regular posts. You are warned. These posts I don't hold back, and sometimes involves a lot of swearing.

This week I would like to take a look at how some people resemble animals. I truly believe there is an animal out there for everyone. I found these during my searches and I wanted to share them with you.

1.  James Hetfield (lead singer of Metallica) & The Cowardly Lion - Why any man would let himself get this run down looking I don't know. James has since cut his hair short, and looks less feminine. As for him being a coward, he sings heavy metal & yells/spits a lot at his concerts. I think he has that under control.

2. Tina Turner & Chow Chow - Now this girl can SANGGGGG, but the list of wigs is never ending. You think that having that kind of money would guarantee you a top notch stylist. Come on Tina, time to trade in the shag.....this ain't NUT BUSH anymore

3. Prince & Miniature Pincher - Oh Prince, you will always be my Diamonds & Pearls man but come on...you be looking a bit femmie with that shirt. The muscles make you look more manly but not enough to become a doberman. You can settle for a ride in my Louis Vuitton dog carrier. Cute & Petite.

4. Hitler & Cat - Comparing Hitler to a cat would be like comparing Osama Bin Laden to a rabbit. These  fucktards are definitely not cute and/or cuddly. Alas this cat was "not blessed" with a Hitler 'stache, and comb over. Donald Trump could take a few tips from the cat though as he's rocking it

5. Wilfred Brimley & Cat - I personally think this cat looks mean as hell and I wouldn't want to mess with it, I would rather get into a fight with Wilfred. Either way whomever I'm fighting I am sooooo pulling on the moustache...

6. Dog the Bounty Hunter & Lion - King of the jungle my ass. Dog is gross, his wife is gross, his show is retarted. Why do people watch this shit? I wish that lion would eat him. Now THAT would make great tv!

7. Mark Zuckerberg (creator of Facebook) & Elephant Seal - Maybe Mark could take some of his billions and fix himself up. He sure is fugly. Now he never will know if the women are with him for his looks or his money.....I'm gonna take a leap here and say?????

8. Taylor Lautner & Llama - Boy am I gonna get yelled at for this pic. Yes ladies I KNOW he is in Twilight, and I KNOW he's a werewolf, and I KNOW you can do laundry on his 10 pack abs....but isn't he sooooo cute & cuddly just like the llama???

9. Josh Hartnett & Golden Retriever - Here boy, come on....mama's got a treat for you....now roll over and let me scratch your belly.....yesssssss mama know's you like it. Josh can sleep at the end of my bed any day.

10. Ludacris & Camel - This is too perfect, even in one of his songs "Hip Hop Quotables" he says he's as hot as a camel's ass. Yes Ludacris, Yes you are......

11. Julia Stiles & Pitbull - I hate this actress (she ruined Dexter for me, so glad she's gone) so I am happy to compare her to a dog. She likes to play the tough parts and have people scared of her, but deep down she's probably a softy who enjoys laying in the sun licking herself.

12. Jon Heder & Beaver - The only thing these two have in common besides their 2 front teeth is that they both enjoy other beavers.

13. Jack Black & French Bulldog - Being funny & having money will only get you so far Jack.......haveeeee you met Julia Stiles????

14. Me & Leopard - Sexy eyes, spots & a glare that will kill....well enough about me, the leopard is pretty cute too I guess

It's T-Shirt Time

Hellooooooo Vacation. Yes that's right Dan & I are officially on vacation till September 12th. We are doing nothing but relaxing. Adam starts school on the 6th (Grade 1) so we will actually have some alone adult time during the day.

This weekend started off with a little dinner party I threw at the house for my husbands boss & wife. They are from Spain and don't really have anyone here so we thought it would be nice for them to get out of the house. Good food, great conversation, amazing wine....all in all it went off without a hitch!!! (not gonna lie I was a little nervous...it was my first time meeting them)

Here is a little peek at what I put out to nibble on before the main dinner....

After they left I did a little cleaning then went to bed as I had to get up early to start baking. Yes not only do I look good but I can bake too!!!

I baked some Black Bottomed Muffins for a party that Dan and I would be attending that evening. These muffins ( I prefer to call them cupcakes) have a surprise inside consisting of a mixture of cream cheese and chocolate chips. My grandmother has been making these since I was little. I tweaked the recipe a bit (her's were always kinda dry....I know I'm going to hell for saying that) They were a HUGE hit at the party. Actually they were renamed as well. Everyone liked the "creamy surprise filling" inside and said we should call them Happy Ending Cupcakes......I of course fucking LOVED THIS....so that's what I am calling them from now on!

This weekend is Labour Day and every year we attend a Labour Day party hosted by a great couple of women Trish & Teresa and co-hosted by my BFF's Jay & Dave. Each year there is a theme and this year's was "T-Shirt Time". Here was our contribution......and these were tame compared to some of the shirts that were there.

The party was a blast and I think I may actually still be drunk as I am writing this post. It's 10:30am on a Sunday morning and I am in bed sending you all my love....and my blood is fighting to get rid of the copious amounts of Gin & Tonic in it. It was sooooo worth it though.....I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!!!!

I also want to give a shout out to my DADDY who's 61st Birthday is tomorrow.....Love You XOXOX

OK peeps now onto my weigh in.....

What a way to start off September....I lost 2.8 lbs this week for a total loss of 53.2 lbs. Do you know what this means???? It means......


Yes that's right.....no more 30's anything on my scale...ever...(I hope, I'm on vaca this week ;) )

and just to see how much 53.2 lbs is, here is my famous fish pic!!!

THAT'S A BIG FISH!!!!

Basically my plan is to stay on track even though I'm on vacation, drink lots of water (like always), complete my 3 days of my ab workout and also complete Week 6 of my C25K. At this rate I'm definitely going to meet my next goal of 225lbs by the end of the month.
"George" (or TOM as some of you like to call it) is supposed to be visiting this week, so hopefully that doesn't screw anything up. Here is what tomorrow looks like for my C25K....

For those of you celebrating our last ditch effort of summer with the Labour Day Holiday.....have fun and be safe. Canadian kids start back to school on Tuesday (yippie!!!) so this is their last warm holiday!!!

Have a great week everyone!!!!!!!!
