Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well it is that time of year again. Lots of presents, lots of food, lots of drinking... but I am happy to say that I'm barely partaking in any of it. I have a ridiculous confession to make. We workout out on Christmas Day. How sad are we?! Hey I only have... checking countdown calendar... 7 days until we are off to Punta Cana. I will not be anywhere near the weight I wanted but there is really nothing I can do know but keep focused on not gaining weight until then.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

I hope everyone has made plans for New Years Eve. I asked Mr. Spaghettibender what he wanted to do this year. He wanted to spend it with his family. Which I was okay with. Because when we make plans with my best friend things always fall through and it ends up just being the 4 of us. Which I don't mind but I wanted a bit more of a gathering this year. Well now I am longing for the idea of being with my best friend for New Years. So I call her to see if they have made any plans, well they have there is like 10 people coming over to their house. So now I'm jealous and I really want to go. She asked what we're doing and I say that I'm not sure since Mr Spaghettibender is not feeling the whole family New Years this year. I was kinda hoping she would invite us over - silence. Now I'm a bit disappointed and kinda bummed about spending New Years with Mr. Spaghettibenders family. I assume since she didn't invite us to come over that she doesn't want us there. I know she was feeling like there was a lot of people already going over so I'm sure that is why she didn't ask or she is trying to prove a point because we didn't want to get together with them.

Whatever I will try and have a good time either way. That night I WILL drink... but I'll workout more before hand = )

I am legend

Yep, I got dragged to see I am Legend with Will Smith. Now normally I like Will Smith movies but I'm just not into zombie... sorry they aren't zombie's as Mr. Spaghettibender wants to remind me... they are mutated humans. So anyways I didn't want to see a movie with mutated Humans trying to eat Will Smith but what do I know.

So Mr. Spaghettibender drags me to the movie saying it is going to be good, you'll see. Yeah, it sucked! He still holds his ground saying it was good but honestly - it sucked! Why on gawds green earth do I have to watch crappy movies with my husband. Don't get me wrong I love watching movies and it does happen that I can pick some pretty bad ones but honestly what movie with zombies or mutated humans has even been done well.

So in retaliation I am dragging him to see National Treasure : Book of Secrets after work tonight. Lets hope this one isn't a dud or I won't hear the end of it.

Still no gifts!

What the hell am I thinking. I still haven't bought gifts for Christmas. I still don't have any stocking stuffers... I am not looking forward to shopping this weekend.

But I am looking forward to going out with my old friend T tonight. He is currently living in Brazil and I only get to see him around Christmas time. Usually he just stops by unannounced and we have plans and don't get to chat much but this time I asked a head of time and yeah we are getting together. Mr. Spaghettibender has poker tonight and T wanted me to make sure it was okay than we go out together. What? I'm sorry do I have to ask my husband if I can go out with an old friend? I was a little confused when he asked.

Since T is hard to set plans in stone with, I haven't even told Mr. Spaghettibender that I am going out with him. Is this wrong of me?

I am so excited. Now lets just hope that T doesn't cancel on me ... or else I might have to go Christmas shopping - yikes!

WooHoo!

Today is Mr. Spaghettibenders final exam... woohoo! I might actually get my husband back... sorta. He has already planned several 'guys only' events before he goes back to school in January. But here's hoping that somewhere in there I might finally get some time alone with him. Like Today. I have the afternoon off and I'm going to spoil him rotten. Let just say there is a pair of fishnet stockings involved!

What kind of wife would I be if I didn't indulge his fantasies! = )

What bird is this?

We saw this huge shadow in our house so we went to look out the window and this huge bird was munching on a Morning Dove. I hate Morning Doves so I was very impressed by this bird. My only question - what type of bird is this?

Getting back into shape

We are going on vacation with some friends for a Wedding in 18 days. And I have to admit I don't think I have been so worried about my physic as much as I am now. I have actually thought about not drinking just to save on the calories... yes something is definitely wrong!

Now I biked all summer and workout almost everyday but I wasn't really losing weight. Now that there is snow on the ground I thought I would be gaining some weight. I am still working out but I'm running instead of biking - doesn't seem to burn as many calories. And it is colder outside so I'm spending more time inside watching TV or socializing and smoozing with friends. Not exactly the plan I need to loss weight for our vacation. But here I am with my pants falling off my ass and I don't think my body looks any different. WTF! How do these girls do it. How do they look so tiny with their little size 2 pants.

I run on the treadmill, I watch what I eat, I do weights if all of this gets me nowhere then what is the point of working out so hard?

I know it silly to care about looking good for our vacation - these are my friends and they are not judging me passed on my %fat... but I think they are. Girls are mean and harsh. Even ones that say they are your friends. So here's to hoping I can loss as much weight as possible between now and then... even if I have to cut back on the holiday cheer. Yeah, we'll see how that works out.

what is wrong with me

Honestly I think I am having a mid-life crisis. At my current job I have a student who comes in about twice a week to work on his master project... and I find myself flirting with him. What the hell is wrong with me. First off I'm married. Second he is 10yrs younger than me. WTF am I thinking.

I honestly feel like a deprived husband who is looking for some attention from outside my marriage. Not that I would ever let anything happen. But then why do I flirt. Is it just to see if this old cougar has it ... I have no idea.

I admit that he looks older and I look younger but I AM MARRIED!

Maybe we should go to couples counselling... or maybe a swingers club... okay now I'm just being ridiculous. Must be the wine I had at lunch.

Is it time to go home yet?
