GIRLIE UPDATE: Brilliant announcement

I guess G is moving on with life.  He's signed on to another movie called Brilliant.  It's a thriller.  That's four movies in the making and two coming up.  I'm excited!

Looking good, Butler!

I feel better...

Work should get easier in the next couple of days.  I have permission to not work so hard.  Maybe now I won't have anxiety attacks in the middle of the day.

GIRLIE UPDATE: This Means War

Would you pick the Brit?  Or Mr. All-American?

 I finally went to see a movie this month!  I had planned to see The Vow but the theater I drove to didn't have any early afternoon showing.  So I caught this flick with Mr. Hardy.  It was fun but not as funny as I thought it would be.  Loved the fact that Reese's character was smart as well as beautiful.  The the boys were hot, hot, hot as spies.  She ended up picking ... well, I would have chosen the Brit, BECAUSE he's a Brit!!  Even if I didn't understand him at times.  Glad everything worked out at the end!

Here is my delicious pick!  Tuck!

ACUPUNCTURE ALERT: Treatment #13

My session was good today although my nose was itchy half way through my first half hour!  First I wiggled my nose one way and the other way.  That didn't work.  Then I decided to daydream I was on a beach in hopes to induce a nap.  It worked!

Aaron's going on a bike ride in Cleveland tonight so I think I'll catch a movie over at Crocker Park.  Which click-flick shall I pick?

GIRLIE UPDATE: G on the mend

Really, G? Rehab?  I guess you and I are going through some stressful times right now.  What you need is acupuncture.  It'll take care of your pain for you.  And you need some down time on a Hawaiian beach.  Relax and work on a tan.  Get better!

GIRLIE UDPATE: Open Road

My FBF Colin just shot a new movie called Open Road.  Reading the synopsis it reminds me of Eat, Pray, Love.  Perhaps he's a love interest for the main character?  Hold up, it's deemed an action / drama / thriller!  Not a romantic comedy?  Hope he's not a psycho killer or something like that!  It looks like it opens in August in Brazil.  Will it show in the U.S.?  We'll see!

I - NEED - TO - SEE - A - MOVIE !!!

After 11 years...

You would think work for me should be easy, doing the same thing every semester.  But this semester is turning out to be stressful.  It's always hard to do a job that you need to complete with others.  You can't control what other people do, or don't do.  If it wasn't for my student workers...

COUNT 2012: Week 6

Exercise count: OK now I'm considered pathetic!  No motivation in my bones.

Eating habits: I'm not doing so well with cooking either.  I made pasta in a butter cream sauce

Weigh-in: 139.5

Comments: On a good note, I'm healthy and energetic at work!

Weekly goal:  Keep healthy and find the time to workout

ACUPUNCTURE ALERT: Treatment #12

Today was a long, early day for me.  Aaron and I had to take the dogs to the vet for their annual checkup.  I stopped by at work while Aaron took the dogs for a short walk in Oberlin.  Then I had my acupuncture treatment.  Since I'm having sessions once a week, my treatment is designed for where I am in my cycle.  This week he treated me as if we were successful in making a baby.  I just got one needle in my tummy and more in my legs and feet.  Dr. Caruso is off to Dubai for vacation next week so I'll see him in two weeks.

Aaron and I are off to dinner at Nino's.

I barely survived the week

It sucks being old!  I did a little overtime to train new hires, p.m. pickup staff and closers and was so exhausted when I got home every night (morning).  I would skip eating my midnight dinner all together and went straight to bed.  My poor dogs had to get their walks and dinners from Aaron.  The next mornings I didn't want to get up, with the weather changing and it being freezing cold out of bed.  I felt like old self having a foggy head and sluggish demeanor all day long.  I even recognized the bags under my eyes, with makeup!  I need sleep!

Welcome, spring semester 2012

Today (Monday) was the first day of classes here at Oberlin College.  I'm always excited to go to work because my crew returns and new hires need training.  I wasn't stressed but has very, very tired.  I'm gathering it's because of age but I am also caffeine-free and battling a bout of sinus congestion due to the weather change.  I had to work until 2 a.m. for closing training.  Now it's time to moemoe!

GIRLIE UPDATE: The Client List

Finally something about my FBF!  Colin will be in the TV series The Client List on the Lifetime Channel starting next month.  The synopsis seems promising.  I'm excited!

COUNT 2012: Week 5

Exercise count: Nada, how disappointed I am of myself

Eating habits: Cooked gnocchi in vodka cream sauce; pork chops and sauteed mushrooms; spaghetti with meatballs; pasta with butter cream sauce and corn, peas and mushrooms

Weigh-in: 142.4 lbs.

Comments:Walked Keala twice this week

Weekly goal:  Keep healthy with the change in weather and not to stress during the first week of the semester; perhaps I should lower my exercise and cooking goals to 2 times a week for now

ACUPUNCTURE ALERT: Treatment #11

I had another good treatment today.  Dr. Caruso and I talked about treating my allergies and sinusitis and added it to the long list.  He gave me some natural herbs that would take place of my daily Zyrtec.  My allergies has not been bad like it's been in the past but it would be nice to ween me off another pill.  I have not gotten post-nasal drip and bronchitis this fall and winter; cross fingers that I be healthy in the spring too!

This treatment I had needles around my knee, as well as the usual top of my head, ears, between the eye, arms, wrists, tummy, legs and feet.  After the first half hour I flipped over and did my back treatment.  Just 4 needles but oh did it hurt.  Dr. Caruso was happy about that because it meant they were producing a change in energy that he wanted.

I'm feeling good this cycle; wish me luck!

GIRLIE UPDATE: Skyfall filming

Lookin' good Mr. Bond!
