UNLOAD!

So it is Tuesday...a short week for those of you that work regular hours...lol! I didn't have to work yesterday although I did spend the whole day looking after personal things like cleaning my car and house. Man...that was a full day of cleaning. Ugggghhhh....at least I got it done and now my spotless Rocco (car) is happy and my home is clean and tidy. Feels good I tell ya! With the rest of the weekend...I did get my party on on Saturday night. Was in the company of one of my dearest friends...always a treat to visit with her. We had some drinks with her fiance and had a blast. She's getting married this summer coming...so we had a lot to discuss as I am sure you can understand...lol!

What can I share with you today?

Seeing as I have hit a bit of a plateau with my workouts...I needed to make a serious decision re: my next step in terms of getting fit. As of the spring I was at 5 workouts a week and then that fell by the way side big time over the summer...naturally! Now...it's time to step it up again. My long term goal is to be at a target weight for next August...my bff's wedding. Until then...I have one other goal in place which is for March. Until March I am going to BUST ASS literally. If by the time March comes around, I haven't seen what I want to see...then I am taking a monster step in a different direction. Not going to get into that now. Today was workout #2 of the week. I am about to step into the world of 'spinning' come tomorrow. EEEEKKK! A little terrified for that. Everyone I talk to tells me it is 'deadly'. Well...I can't imagine anything more deadly than my trainer's Tuesday morning kickboxing class...but I guess I will soon find out! Ha!

Dating life? What a joke!!!! So I am still on POF and Match. It really is amazing to me when I hear stories about people that find their partners on these sites. I mean...Match has yielded me NOTHING. I mean..I have had conversations with dudes on there...but only 1 official date. I think it could be that I am not interested in putting in another friggin minute into these things but....then I am told not to close myself off. Now...with POF...lots of convo action there...but when it comes to dates...I either have to bail on them because of work or I am in no mood to extend myself to commuting for a date. Why do I need to commute you might ask? Well...for the most part these dudes are out of the city or are in a neighbouring city and they don't drive. FACK! Talk about TOO MUCH work. Ugggggghhhh.....I just took a deep sigh while writing this. Just thinking about it is exhausting.

Next topic...

Saw 2 movies as of late; Looper and Taken 2.

Looper....LOVED IT! My goodness Joseph Gordon-Levitt.....love that kid! He's friggin amazing...and damn cute to boot. Great story line....incredibly wild movie. Taken 2? Not so great! Not nearly as great as the first movie. Liam Neeson...the dude killed this role. He's awesome with action...I mean it! The story just couldn't pull the weight even though Liam could. He did carry the movie....it just wasn't enough. So many movies to go and see these days....maybe I will hit another one up this weekend coming.

So...I think I may start the count down to my trip right now.....YAY!!!! So...10 weeks to go till I fly to Belgium to visit with my bff. I happen to arrive on her birthday...again. I went to visit her 2 years ago...exact same day. Man...am I good or what?!! LOL So ya...I arrive right on her birthday and then I spend a couple days with her before I boogie to Holland's Amsterdam for a couple days. I am going to be visiting with an old old friend from little school. He lives there with his lovely wife. During my little stay in Amsterdam...I believe I will be going shopping for a wedding dress with my bff. Not too sure. I will be venturing to a town in northern Holland to visit the tallship I sailed 10 years ago. OMG....I can't believe it has been 10 years since I have sailed. All good though...cause on this trip...my bff and I are spending 4 days sailing of the coast of Spain...The Canary Islands. It brings tears to my eyes to know that I am going to get back on a boat and actually sail. Uggggghhhh....I can't wait! The level of excitement is almost too much for me to bear...lol! Almost!

Well folks...I feel as though I wrote a mini novel.....lol....ok that was an over statement....but you get the idea. Till next week kiddos.....xo P
