Okay, I cannot wait any longer, I have to show you guys.
Guess what Megs got me for my birthday?
She gave me my domain back!
So everyone please change your links to my blog,
I am now at:
http://AGrownWoman.com
and that is where I will be posting from now on.
Hurray!!!!!!!!!!

The kids are so busy playing outside I think I'll put Scarface in the DVD and watch it right now.

Oh by the way, I ran four miles this morning.

Pretty soon I'll be unveiling the most spectacular thing you've EVER seen.
Like I said, Meg is the best, just the very best, I can't even tell you how wonderful she is.

Phoebe the Kitten has figured out how to get on TOP of the bird cage
(The bird isn't scared and can take care of herself)
Not even Pischina-Kitty has ever gotten on TOP of the bird cage.
I would be worried that Phoebe will teach Pischina-Kitty some bad tricks
But Pischina-Kitty is currently hiding in my bedroom
And hasn't come out since Phoebe arrived yesterday.

11/22/2003

Guess what?
We have a new kitten.
She's all black and has long hair.
Her name is Phoebe.
I'll tell you later how this came to be.

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow!!!!!

This is possibly one of the funniest entries I have ever ever read.
Read the whole thing, it just keeps on going and the funniness never ends.

Megs is one of the bestest human beings in the whole wide world, Really.
Cate too, wherever she may be.
I love you guys SO MUCH.

Okay it's settled, I just told my mom Scott is coming over for Thanksgiving,
Now he HAS to go.
:-)

OOOOOOOH this is too funny!
Thanks, Itsy!

Including Rupert.
So settle down Lil Doggies,
He'll be back.

Personally I would have voted him out too,
I'm not going to sit on that island for 42 days only to have Rupert walk off with the million.
It's not just about survival,
"Outwit, Outplay, Outlast"...

Anyone else watch Joan of Arcadia?
One of the best shows on TV
But the actress that plays Joan is *really* the best part.

And he decided he would go to my mom's house for Thanksgiving.
Which means he gets to meet my parents for the FIRST TIME!
I'm really really really glad he's going.

Scott surprised me with going out to dinner tonight,
We went to Aqui's which is where we had our first date.
And we had a lovely time!
No christmas lights to look at yet like last December but it was still nice.
It was funny, cuz I'd been thinking about that place recently
And then suddenly, out of the blue, he wanted to take me there.
:-)

Katherine-who-signs-my-guestbook,
Could you please send me an email or list your email for me?
You never give me any info and I can't talk to you!
:-)

My thoughts on last night's Survivor:
STOP WITH THE SNAKE AND THE LIZARD THINGIE!!!
Jeez, I JUST ate dinner, and
That. Was SO. Disgusting.
Over. and Over. and Over.

11/20/2003

Which reminds me, guess what I had today?
HOT FLASHES.
Yes Indeedy.
It was quite exciting.

I'm really really really craving some chocolate right now.

11/19/2003

By the way, this Baby-Talk lady on Dr. Phil?
Is annoying the CRAP out of me.
Someone smack her,
Smack her until the baby talk is ALL GONE.
And Mr.Husband-Dude, you married her so quit whining.

This is very funny, and we were just watching Full House last night!

Find Out If You Are John Stamos!


11/18/2003

I just joined Marn's 500 miles to NoWhere, so you can watch my progress over there too.
By the way, I got up at 5:30am and ran 2 miles in 22 minutes, then walked the last 1/2 mile due to that have-to-go-to-the-bathroom problem again.
But I was very happy with the time finally!

11/17/2003

I found a new cool layout for GoPischinaGo!
I like it!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
I was just sitting here watching MTV's "Made", only I wasn't exactly watching, just listening while reading stuff on the computer.
It's the one where the girl Cynthia wants to be a football player on her high school team.
And then I looked up at the TV screen and thought:
"Hey, that looks like my high school, heh.
Huh... that looks a LOT like my high school.
Like... exACTLY like... I think..."
And then I glimpsed the football jerseys,
SILVER CREEK RAIDERS.
"THAT'S MY HIGH SCHOOL!!! THAT'S THE FIELD WHERE I SPENT FOUR YEARS OF MY LIFE IN BAND PRACTICE!! THAT'S ABORN ROAD! THAT'S THE CHIROPRACTOR DOWN THE STREET! THAT'S THE FIELD WHERE I RUN SPRINTS!!"
Yup, it's my high school, just down the street.
So if you see that show, know that I not only spent four years of my life on that very field and pass it on my way to work every day, but every shot out of the high school is my neighborhood area, AND I'm 99% certain my ex-mother-in-law knows that girl's mother. The mother AND Cynthia look way too familiar.
Cool.

11/16/2003

By the way Mr.Albert, if you could please email me, as I cannot figure out/remember your email address and I really need to thank you...

Excellent Excellent Mom Entry
And if you guys don't read Keli on a regular basis anyway, you should.

New Diary: GoPischinaGo

Now I don't have to fill up the regular one with running stuff.
You all can cheer me on over there, kay?

I'm home!
You all can't wait to hear if I ran this weekend, right?

Saturday went to the gym and ran 2 miles in 25 minutes (the treadmill has you walk the first 2 minutes)
Then lifted weights for about 45 minutes.

Sunday I told Scott I wanted to run instead of going to kung-fu,
So I ran up and down Freedom Boulevard
A BEAUTIFUL road through the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Three miles in 35 minutes, plus quite a bit of hiking up and down the hill Scott lives on.
Then I joined the kung-fu class in time to practice my tai chi and ended with 20 minutes of kung-fu stances (not not not an easy thing).

I am absolutely proud of myself.

Everyone mark this date on your calendars:
March 21, 2004

I will run my first 10K in... 3 years? 4 years? more?
And I will do it in 50 minutes.

11/15/2003

And now I am off to the gym for real.

Here's a picture of the horse that "Mary" pretty much has an orgasm on.
That girl was SO annoying.
The stage scenery was really incredible,
But Mary and the story...
It was like a love story written by a teenager.
Yeah, that's right, I could have done better.

Everyone go rate Mocksie's Cats a TEN
And then get stuck on the computer rating ALL the cats a 10 and you'll be unable to get up off your chair and do anything else all day, heh.

Thanks for the virus help guys,
If anyone has some recommendations for a good anti-virus software please let me know.
I can't copy down the exact error message because it just flashes on the screen, but it's obviously doing something bad.
I am off to the gym and then Aptos!

Oh yeah, That play we saw, "Mary's Wedding", it was kind of stupid.
Very well written, but you know, CHEESY.
And to make it worse,
You could see the ending coming a mile away
And yet I was STILL sobbing like a baby.
Scott will not let me live this down for quite awhile.

Everyone have a great weekend!

11/14/2003

I got up at 5am, was out the door by 5:15, and ran 2.4 miles.
I wanted to run 3 or 4, but hey, it was 5am.

However, my computer is still not working right and I still can't get into my email.
It either won't bring up any internet screen at all or won't bring up a certain page I want to see,
like Blogger, email, etc.
And these little black pop ups saying "Killing dlldate" or something like that keep popping up.
I need some virus protection NOW, heh.

11/13/2003

My computer is being the biggest bugger EVER and I'm sure it has something to do with there being NO VIRUS CONTROL on it - I think that may be our one splurge this paycheck or I may never be able to log on again. As it is, I cannot access my email at the moment. This is really sucking.

I am STILL proud of myself!
And I don't even hurt, my thighs are just a little tight.

11/12/2003

3.2 miles!!! That's a 5K!
It took me 40 minutes which is Horrible,
But I'm still very very proud of myself!

I came home from work to a doorstep full of Amazon birthday presents!
You guys are the GREATEST.
I'll send thank you's later today, right now I have to go running.

11/11/2003

We went with Scott to Pasta Pomodoro for dinner and had chicken parmagiana and chianti and chocolate souffle.
It was yummy.
Now we're getting ready for bed.
Good night all!
***
Meg, I'll be calling you soon,
Mocksie, I'll email you tomorrow also.
G'Night!

We were watching Olinda on Joe Millionaire last night and I told Spike he needed to come watch and study the girls on this show.
"Olinda is a prime example of your buddy getting married to a complete shrew and everyone knows it but him until the day after the wedding," I told him.
"What's wrong with Olinda?" he asked, "She's nice."
"ARE YOU NOT WATCHING THIS SHOW??? PAY ATTENTION BOY!"
When she got kicked off at the end of the show Buffy and I cheered so hard we scared the cat.
:-)

11/10/2003

"Drinking wine in Italy is so much better than drinking it out of a box in your living room."
Joe Millionaire

Dude, I'm sure they sell wine *bottles* in Texas. I'm SURE of it.

I am STARVING.
Taco Pie, Here I come!

Ran 2.4 miles
But walked the last .4 miles due to a case of the runs,
Causing me to stop every so often to clench the butt cheeks shut.
Then I finally get home and run to the house so I can get to the bathroom quick
And Buffy has LOCKED the door - ALL THREE LOCKS.
I'm pounding on the door,
"Let me IN! Let me IN!"
And Buffy calmly walks over and says
"Who iiiiiis it?"
"It's MOM and I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM OPEN UP THE DOOR!!!!"
I'm sure the neighbors really wanted to know that.
:-)

11/09/2003

Pruned the roses.
Played the Sims.
Ran 1.6 miles.

Buffy just put Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back in the dvd player and her little friend called.
Buffy said she didn't want to go play cuz she was going to watch a movie,
Her friend asked if she could watch it too.
"Sorry, this movie isn't appropriate for you."
*****
And now I am happily watching it with her.

Cold leftover garlic noodles for breakfast.
YUM.

Days like this are what the gym is for!
My arms are pretty sore though,
But I can still use the treadmill!
And the one by my house has an indoor pool!

It is pouring rain.
We are not going to church.
It's a very long freeway drive there and I don't like driving in the rain.
So we will stay home.

11/08/2003

My kids just fell asleep in their chairs watching The Iron Chef.
The crayfish episode, UGH.
Time for bed for me, Church tomorrow!

What Johnny the Homicidal Maniac character are you?

Went to BlockBuster and stood in line with our last $4 to rent Italian Job and a clerk there decided to play movie trivia with us for a free packet of microwave popcorn.
"Name a Guy Ritchie movie!" he yelled as everyone looked at him dully.
"SNATCH" I yelled.
He threw me the popcorn as everyone else in line muttered "Who the hell is Guy Ritchie?"
I win.
:-)

Went to the *Real* gym and ran for 10 minutes warm up, then worked the weight machines for an hour.

11/03/2003

I ran 2.4 miles in about 1/2 hour and I feel GREAT.
Also, Sunday we did a lot of yoga stretches during kung fu
And today my poor widdle tummy feels OWWIEEEEEEE.

11/02/2003


More like my parents never got cable - like to this day they still don't have cable.
So no, I never got my MTV! *sniff*
(Okay, I have it NOW, but it's not like they play MUSIC now)

I'm tired.
Time for bed.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Got to go to kung fu today.
2 hours kung fu
1/2 hour Lao jia tai chi
My legs feel GREAT.
Tomorrow: Running
