Hopefully, I can get back into the swing again of using my gps....

Shape up this New Year, with these 10 kick-butt moves!

Ha. Not! Every year it's the same thing in every magazine, online blog, news show: "Success in five easy steps! Here's how!". Whatever happened to not sugar coating weight loss, financial saving, and fun love lives?

I want to see this instead:

You are fat! Get off your lazy ass and go for a walk!
10 Tips to not eat like the cow you are!
Stop going to Starbucks every day and out for every meal! Pack a lunch!
Do you NEED that new purse? Put that $300 into an IRA account- your parents are not going to finance your retirement too, and we know the government isn't going to be there...
Want to spice things up in the bed? Instead of learning what new moves your man or woman will like, or what to wear... learn to love yourself and be uninhibited... That in itself will being about some moves!

What would you like to see this New Year?

I know that I would like to see more people hold themselves accountable, including myself. I have no issues holding myself accountable for things at work, with friends or family, but when it comes to holding myself accountable for how I am living my personal life, I am no where to be found.

I would like more manners with the younger generation. "Manners." M-A-N-N-E-R-S. Hold the door for everyone- not just the elderly. Say, "Please", "Thank You", "Excuse Me". Don't assume that everyone is going to wipe your ass, just because your parents do. Take responsibility for your actions. When you see someone struggling, or look like they need a hand... LEND them one. Don't ignore need. This is MONTANA. NOT New York City. If you have trouble with 50% of the above... you should most definitely move to NYC. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I want to see more people recycle. We are trashing this planet just like we trash every other take-out plate, or to-go coffee cup- like we are getting a new one tomorrow. Except, we are not getting a new one tomorrow! Our planet is beyond repair on so many levels, the least we can do is stave off our impending doom for a few more years.

Stop worrying about the small things!!! At first, I was pissed that every time our neighbor would shovel his sidewalk, he would not shovel our 8 inches of cement. And, every time I shovel, I always shovel his. He also has a big sign in the front yard that says, "Pick up your dogs poop!". Our other neighbor flings the poo that he finds on his side into my yard. I assume since I have a dog, he thinks it's mine. I haven't spend a single night at the condo that I rent in several months, but keep flinging your poo, neighbor!

Also, I am awesome, and better than all of you, so when you see me in the grocery store, move out of my way! That's taking it too far... Please don't block the isles...

I finally have figured out how to post my adventures, map style! I will post links as I make them. They will have a profile of what I did (Speed, distance, elevation gained/lost, etc), as well as the map!!
Now you can see what I do on my free time...

Blogs

I have been wondering what to post on this blog, considering, anyone can view it whenever they would like.

This fact has led me to believe I need to watch what I post on here, and not post anything that is too offensive, or would give my life away to those who do not know me.

Well, fuck that shit.

I swear, burp, fart, am loud, and in no particular order. Sometimes I burp a swear word, other times I fart. And mind you, I may not let you know when I do pass gas. So, beware.

I am sick of all of the bitching at my place of work. The bitching annoys me. It makes me want to yell at people and tell them to shut the hell up and work. Isn't that what you are paid to do?

It is lightning out at the moment. Thundering too. My dog, Nola, is sitting at me feet, which is also located next to a whole lot of plugged in power cords. This is not a good idea.

I am going to see Willie Nelson in concert tomorrow. I think I might even smoke pot!

There. Now, I have it out of my system. Posting inappropriate things on my blog. HA.

4th of July

It's sad; fireworks have barely slowed my driving.

OPI polish- I am obsessed with this polish brand.

Bikes- Boots and boys? Try BIKES, boys, boots. In that order.

"Don't worry, she's friendly!"

Is it not enough that my dog has a bright, purple harness on? And her tail waves back and forth at a pace of 120 wags per minute?

She is not the most well behaved dog, but her intentions are good. Isn't that what it's all about? Intentions? Even if her words don't come out right, rather, she accosts you with a jumping kiss that is bounced off your mouth, she really does have the best intentions.

I am sitting on my front porch, waiting for this sky to decide whether to open up and rain steady, or pass over and save us our drowning plants. I actually don't have any plants that are drowning from all of this recent rain. Just a mountain bike that begs to be taken out.

I am using the rain as an excuse to sit here and relax, instead of going out hiking, running, or riding. It is a nice recluse from being on the go all of the time. Although, I feel that I only say I am on the go a lot, when in all actuality, the truth of the matter is far from that.

Which is why I feel guilty sitting here doing nothing. I've been feeling guilty for a lot of things lately...
