I just updated my blog photo. It was taken by my friend Jenna at Starbucks (what a shock) either last week or the week before. I think it's a pretty good photo, despite the shiny face.
Not much else is going on. I'm SO glad the week is half over. I'm just about to change and meet Jeff at the gym for a leg workout (my favorite).
Today is a beautiful fall day. It's a cool and cloudy day with a high about 70-71. I woke up pretty early (7:30) and I read through the newspaper. I was a bit disappointed with the sale papers...I was hoping that there would be more considering it's a holiday weekend. Alas, they were "skimpy".
I went to the gym early and did 50 minutes on the elliptical followed by 50 minutes on the treadmill. It was a good workout with some nice "eye candy" to help pass the time. Did I mention how much I love the "genius feature" in my iPod? I mean, what did I ever do before it?
When I got home and weighed-in, I was SO happy to see that I had lost 1.0 pound and a bit of bodyfat. I think the new routine I'm doing with Jeff is working.
Tonight a friend is having a bachelorette party at a local club. My other friend Jen and I might go make an appearance. I'm not 100% committed yet.
I did a bit of maintenance and rearranging to my blog. I changed my layout and changed to the blogger blogroll. I hope that works out well since my old NewsGator blogroll was discontinued recently.
I'm sitting here in the den with Mom and we're watching The Graham Norton Show on BBC America. I love Graham! He's a hoot!
I'm sitting here in the den with Mom and she's watching "The Good Wife". Tonight after work and dinner I met Jeff at the gym and we had a great abs/legs/shoulders workout. Jeff came back to working out with me yesterday. We're doing a new routine of 4 sets of 20 reps...2 exercises per bodypart. It's a great routine thus far and I hope it helps us both shed some bodyfat.

61% Of You Wants Tender, Sensual Love.
The real reason you want a boyfriend is to have a tender, affectionate relationship with a meaningful, adorable cutie! You imagine going to bed and squeezing him, or him squeezing you – something now only your pillow is apart of. You dream of caressing him during everyday chores and having someone always there to lay on or to run his fingers down your neck.
Massages and kissing is sensual, not rushed or forced, and you both feed off your calm energy – except when you turn things up in the bed!Your ideal man is someone who is a little bit on the quiet side, pays close attention to detail, and lives a quieter, but not necessarily boring, life. He is cute, thoughtful, and surprises even you with how much you fit like hand in glove.
THE SETBACKS:
The main problem with wanting this affectionate relationship is that most times, the guy are too shy! They aren’t seeking love as eagerly as you sometimes, and are fine with living their life and sending all their adorable cuddling to their dog – and not where it deserves to be – on you! Thus, things will take time. Also, your cuddler may tend to be a bit more reserved and sensitive, perhaps not sharing his inner most desires with anyone – something you’ll have to get used to. When he’s not being social and fun, he’ll be introverted and you should be prepared to find someone who likes their time alone, and needs some space.
MY ADVICE
I recommend trying to forget how much you want someone. Then, once you stop searching, Mr. Adorable will come out of no where when you least expect it! It’s hard to do, but channel more cuddling to your pillow and focus on day-to-day tasks. Instead of getting hung up on how much you don’t have someone, focus on what you do have, like friends and good times. With time, he’ll show up, probably in the last place you’d expect it, and soon you’ll be in each other’s arms talking til the sun comes up. It will happen one day, just you wait!

Well, today is the last Monday I have off until the Fall Semester begins on Thursday. I got up at 6am this morning because I had to get ready for an 8am chiropractic appointment. I plan on getting up at 6am the rest of my vacation just so I can get used to the early hours. My chiro appt. went really well. I had heat/stim/traction before getting adjusted by Dr. Sparks. After the adjustment he said I'm now on an "as needed" basis. That means if I have any more pains or problems, just call and make an appointment. I'm telling you, I'm SO glad I followed Dr. Sparks when he started his own office! He's a great Chiropractor who really helps.
After the doctors, Mom and I went to get our haircuts. Since Rhonda was doing a highlight, we had to come back in an hour so we went over to Barnes & Noble to browse through the magazines. Once we were shorn, we stopped into Sam's Club so I could do a bit of shopping and renew my membership.
Now all I have to do today is go to the gym. I'll probably do that around 1-2 this afternoon. I'm not sure if Jen, Adam, and I are doing 'Game Night' tonight.
Today is the start of the 2009 "Tax-Free Weekend" here in NC. Since it coincides with my semester break, Mom and I took the day to travel to Wilmington to do some shopping. Our first stop was Kohl's. I ended up getting 5 pairs of work pants (in various colors) and a new pair of New Balance running shoes to replace my ratty gym shoes. Mom picked up some shirts for my nephew Peter and some shirts for my niece Sarah. Afterwards, we drove over to Mayfaire Town Center. In Belk I ended up getting 3 dress shirts. Mom got a dress shirt for Peter and a new brown purse for herself. Lastly, we walked around Williams-Sonoma so I could 'browse'. I wanted to buy one of everything in that store! Then we drove back to Jacksonville.
Even though I don't watch Mad Men on AMC, I thought this was cool. You can transform yourself into a 1960's era cartoon. Here are my two cartoons:
