this is her angelina lip pose. pretty good, huh?

priceless...

so i'm home w/elizabeth who has a sore throat and slight fever. we're eating soup for lunch and she says (with soup dribbling down her chin) "mom...hurry, i need a napkin. my chin is leaking".

does it get any better than that?

the pain

so i joined a gym...again. the last time was about 3 years ago where i signed up on a 2 year contract and i went for like the first 3 days and after that i basically donated to the gym. this time is going to be different (i think i'm experiencing de ja vu)! do you want to know why? i'll tell you - i have this layer of fat from shoulders to toe (can't really say head, cuz my head hasn't gotten fat...yet). not only do i have this layer of fat, but about a week before i signed up i was on the phone and happened to walk past a mirror. that's when i saw it...cellulite on my arm. WTF?!?!?!?! seriously...who deserves that? about 2 days later i'm getting ready for work, standing in my bra, just finished my hair, grabbed my hand-held mirror, turned around to look at the back of my hair, when all of a sudden - BACK FAT staring right at me. i'm fat from behind.

that was the last straw. so i signed up a week ago thursday and have been there pretty much every day since. but it's only the first week; i have to get over the 3 week hump. my bff, mandy works out constantly with her husband and they have so graciously assisted me in my effort and are helping me become comfortable in the gym. that's part of my problem. the gym is intimidating and i don't know how to use the equipment and the treadmill and elliptical get boring pretty quickly. so we're working with mainly free weights and some machines. it's lifting monday, wednesday, and friday and cardio tuesday, thursday, and saturday.

anyhoo, my biceps are really hurting from my workout on wednesday...only when i try to fully extend it. or trying to grab a gallon of milk. or putting my socks on. or tying my shoes. good thing i can still pick my nose with ease...

i'll keep you posted - and when i'm all toned i might even post a picture!
