As many of you know, I've been on a quest to have a Hot Body for my 31st Birthday(its in July). Imagine my surprise when one of my favorite bloggers decided to create a virtual support group for fabulous people that want to do away with their muffin tops!

The "Contest" is cute, has short and interesting rules, and there is profit to be made! Join us for some Muffin Top(pIe) remover fun!

Look here, for the rules, inspiring stories, and shanagins.

Great Idea CS!

Getting Healthy...YUCK


OMG, you will NEVER believe what I did yesterday. I'm not talking about how I was trying to teach my craziest (I think Tini gives him crack when I'm not home) dog how to run beside my bicycles while I hold his leash (it was an exerperience, btw), nope I'm talking about how I stepped...into..a..GYM! OMG!




I've never joined a Gym. The only time I've ever set foot in one was after a friend had convinced me to go with them to a class. It was interesting walking into one on my own recognisances. I do have to admit, all the equipment was a bit intimidating (Hee, Hee...That’s what she said).
It all started with the birthday present I’m giving to myself. I'm giving myself an AWESOME (not good, not great, AWESOME) body for my 31st birthday. My birthday is in July, and since I need to drop about X (I’m not telling you how many! And it’s a bit rude of you to ask… ) lbs and beef up, I have to get started ASAP. That leads me to standing inside a gym. A gym that has pretty people, purple equipment (eww), and LOTS of machines that I have no idea how to operate. Austin, a Gym Guy, that was a beefcake and talked like a sales robot, said hello and immediately started giving me his sales pitch about the gym.

But be proud of me...I didn't bow to Austin’s radiantly sparkling green eyes...I didn't join, I'm waiting a whole 24 hours to join. (Don't judge me, you didn't see his eyes).

Regardless...I'm on my quest to have an Awesome body by July. The fact that Bikini season is fast approaching, helps with the motivation factor. If only I could stay away from the super chunky fudge ice cream...

Stay tunes for more, when I chat about the torture monsters...I mean gym equipment that is waiting for me…

I’m Hot, You're Hot, He’s Hot, She’s Hot






















Ok I don’t think I’m an ugly duckling or anything but I’m not used to getting many compliments on my looks. My outfit, personality and athletic ability often get compliments but generally not my looks. I’m ok with that since being a super model was never high on my to-do list although the money sure would be good.

I was kind of a late bloomer in high school and I was not very attractive and somewhat shy and insecure. I was picked on a lot so of course this didn’t help the situation any. High school sure can be tough! Ok you can stop crying and feeling sorry for me now. I’m just offering this as a possible reason as to why last night seemed so unusual to me. And why today I feel like singing West Side Story’s “I feel pretty, oh so pretty and witty and gay”.

I wasn’t in a great mood last night since my boyfriend and I were not on the best of terms but I decided to go on my weekly bike ride anyway. First a 29 year old guy said he saw me at a charity event and he and his friends were checking me out. This was very flattering and according to the latest rule I’ve learned on dating ages (half your age plus 7) he would be in my range (40/2=20 plus 7 =27). Sorry I didn’t mean to do math here but I am an engineer after all. Unfortunately this rule also implies that a 66 year old would be the top end of my age range. So it’s kind of a dumb rule IMHO and this 29 year old ‘kid’ while flattering was also just a little creepy in a teacher dating her student kind of way.

Later another friend showed up who I hadn’t seen in a while. I had texted him a week ago and he didn’t reply. When I saw him he said he was not allowed to text pretty girls now that he is back with his wife. Of course he was kidding but this was count 2 on my pretty compliments.

Then later I got a third pretty from a street performer. Yes he was working for tips and maybe this one shouldn’t count but I’ll take whatever I can get!

It’s nice to receive a compliment and it really put me in a good mood. I think it’s always good to compliment people as long as you really mean it. So I think I will make today a day that I hand out lots of meaningful compliments in a hopes to cheer others up. I recommend you do the same and brighten up someone’s day.
