Comments
So I'm trying to catch up on blogs, I know everyone is talking (or was!) about not being able to make comments. Is there a fix that anyone has done? I type a comment out, it asks me to log in (even though I already am) then attempts to post it as anonymous?! WTF
Doing a little BYOC
It has been forevah since I did a BYOC!! Whooowheeee Here we go!!
1. Do you make your bed every day? Tell us about or show us a picture of your bed comforter?
Bleh....ok....If I lived by myself etc yes my bed would be made everyday. I have a solid navy blue down comforter & a funky print sheet set. BUT. The bf was raised by a family who pretty much have the same sheets from 1962. Don't use a mattress pad. Have been known to sleep on the mattress with no sheets. And up until I moved in the bf was using the same pillows he had in high school....he is 39. Long story short our bed consists of a fitted sheet, a down comforter on my side of the bed and a light blanket on his side (he is like a hot water bottle) it is NEVER made. Because if I do make it he will just flop down on top of all the covers and make it near impossible for me to get UNDER the covers. Don't get me started on how he doesn't know how to use a pillow, the man FOLDS a pillow about 4 times and wonders why his neck hurts!!
2. 2. Johnny Cash or Elvis? Thin crust pizza or deep dish? Coke or Pepsi? Beer or wine or neither?
Like both Johnny & Elvis. Any and all pizza please!! Don't really drink it anymore, but I only like Diet Pepsi (not regular) but only like Regular Coke (not diet! but I do like Coke Zero) weird huh? I was always a beer drinker, I miss beer, I can't really drink it anymore, too much carbonation :-( Wine is good, I prefer white or reisling. I usually drink those hard tea things (no carbonation) or a flavored vodka & cranberry.
3. I recently went through my list of blogs I follow and was at my limit so I unfollowed bloggers who haven’t blogged in at least 6 months. I want to start following some more new blogs. Who’s your fave lately? Funniest? Most inspiring? Can you link them for me??
Bleh...can't do it....I have a bunch I need to unfollow, I have my faves, you know who you are lol
4. Repeat question: Summarize your week in blog land and in real life.
Working on getting back on the wagon, blog & band :-)

Sticking my head in the sand
So....I've been avvoiding blogland. I can't say 100% for sure if it was on purpose, or for a specific reason. I have about 500 PLUS blogs to read, plusI just started following about a million more people on the BOOBS list and I am REALLY irked that you have to go through about 15.7 steps to unfollow someone (seriously why can't the "follow" button turn to "unfollow" once you are following a person??) I am going to make a decision to read posts daily, AND comment. I get a half hour for lunch, I vow to you, my dear friends and followers, to read and comment daily. Normally I am of the school that I only comment when I feel like my comment adds something, but I realize that sometimes a comment that I may think is worthless/cheesy/unimportant etc means the world to the person recieving the comment.
I am still not losing any weight, but I am not gaining either. I am still bouncing bettween 198 and 201, on a fraking daily basis. It is so frustrating because I have ZERO restriction, and I can pretty much eat anything (and everything!)...user error has caused a few stuck moments. It is amazing to me that 5.2 and 5.1 cc's I am way too tight, getting stuck on everything etc. But at 5 cc's I'm basically wide open. Really? That sucks. I know that I need to put more thought and care into my food choices. I know that I need to stop drinking so many calories (alcoholic ones). I need to cut the shit and get back on the band wagon. Period. End of sentence.
After the month of Crossfit ended, I didn't renew the membership. At the time because I just didn't have money and the timing was off because we were heading to Reno & Tahoe. Yadda yadda...now I am back home. Still don't have money, my ass is broke-ity broke. But I NEED to do Crossfit. I went to the regular gym yesterday, tried to do the Crossfit work out...it didn't work. I felt more judged at the regular gym than at the Crossfit gym. Which is hysterical because the regular gym is one with the tag line that they are a "judg e ment fre e zo ne" I am going to FIND the funds and I am going to spring for the one on one trainer. One month at a time.
I am supremely depressed. There is so much that I want to do, and need to do....but....there are a thousand buts. That is all.
On the trip back from Reno & Tahoe we had a layover that turned into an overnight in Chicago. Is it September yet? :-) I'm excited for BOOBS 2011! To see everyone from last year and meet all the new people who didn't go last year. I am rooming with the lovely and infamous Drazil and Jenny...I'm also still crossing my fingers for the 4th roomie to change her mind!
I am also very happy to report that I am an Auntie for the first time!! My bro and sister in law had their son yesterday morning, he is so adorable!!! Oh and I am compelled to add this because in the past day I have heard this question about 20 times.....NO this does not start my clock ticking and NO this does not make me want one of my own. I am very excited to be an Auntie not so much to be a Mommy. :-)

Oh and here is a pic from Tahoe...excuse the jacked up hair goofy facial expression (bf doesn't give any warning, just snaps the pic lol) and lack of make up.....but I like how...NON fat I look :-) The jeans are LB size 16 (14's are still too tight!) and the track jacket is a junior XL from H0t T0p1c :-) And NSV....one flight we were in the exit row with the non moveable arm rests....I had EXTRA room in the seat, about 7 inches on extra seat belt AND I could sit with my legs crossed. Lovely, absolutely lovely!

360-something + 198 vs. 201 = Carmen going crazy!
Hello my dear sweet friends! I just wanted to pop in and say howdy and that I have not fallen off the face of the map...I am holding on by my weak fingernails!
I currently have over 360 UNREAD posts to read...yikes. Carmie has no time lately. Not quite sure why.
The Crossfit class has ended, I have not signed up as of yet. I'm not 100% sure that I am going to. The last night I cornered the coach and asked him if I should continue on. Based on his professional assessment of me. He said yes, as long as I modified some stuff as we had in the class. Which BTW regarding modifying stuff...the last night I ran the entire 200 m that he wanted us to and did a total of 20 push ups (on the knees kiddies) go me. He also said that he felt I would benefit more from a 1 on 1 situation (trying to upsell me? lol) I'm still weigh options, finances are a big part of the decision.
The bf, his sister & her husband (oh and me) are heading to Reno this weekend. The boys are bowling in a tournament. I'm excited, I have never been to Reno & we are staying on THE lake, about an hour away. Should be a good time. Provided the bf doesn't piss me off & I wander off into the desert...
My brother & sister-in-law are ready to become parents anyday now. Hmm...did I tell you guys that? Remember back in the fall when I said I had 2 big secrets? Well I came clean on one of them, that they were getting married. But I don't think I ever mentioned that they were pregnant. Anyway...they are due 6/20 but she has been having contractions for awhile now. Even went into pre-term labor about a month ago, but everything is fine now. I am fully convinced that they will have the baby while I am away this weekend! They are having a boy and I am very excited since this is my first nephew! Well "real" anyway lol the bf's nephews & niece call me auntie sometimes.
Oh regarding the 198 vs 201....since February when I first saw 198 or 9 whatever it was...I have been bouncing between 198 and 201....what the fiddlesticks??? I'm trying to tell myself that this is where my body wants to be...funk that! It's all good, I'm comfortable where I am. Sure I would like to be in a 14, but 16 is treating me nicely ....for now.
It is crazy the way 5cc's is too loose and 5.1 is too tight.
Hopefully I can access Reader on the plane so I can catch up to you guys!!
xoxo
