Stalking and Skipping

So, day two and I actually am writing. Amazing on so many levels. I went to pilates today which always makes my heart happy and my booty sore. I love pilates. I love my teacher. She is awesome and so inspirational. If you ever want to take a truly amazing class with an amazing woman let me know. Volunteered today. Love that school. The teachers are so dedicated and amazing and the kids are exceptional. I love how sweet and excepting they are. I also went to the gym with my father. I love doing this. Today, I decided to try the Tracey Anderson (modified) workout on the treadmill. I probably looked like a complete idiot skipping and bouncing...but I actually had a lot of fun AND the time FLEW by. I am going to buy her webisodes to kick my booty into shape.

This was my fourth day in a row seeing John C Riley during the day. Now, I know he lives in Pasadena...but I have only ran into him once. Now for the fourth day in a row he is everywhere I turn. If this pattern continues I may have to get a restraining order. At the Harveys now. P and L are outside enjoying the crisp air and Miss C is doing her homework diligently upstairs in order to watch American Idol at 8 (ah to be 14 again). I am off to cook a fabulous well balanced dinner for the bunch followed by my own dinner and possibly watching Red Dragon...just a typical night for me.

A New Beginning

So, I have tried many times to write in journals and blogs. However, I always get lazy and get distracted. This blog I am determined to keep up. I have discovered that writing is my therapy. Writing is my security blanket. It calms me when I am nervous and frees me when I am angry. I am by no means a Hemingway, but I am not trying to be. Today is a new day. I woke up with the odd sensation that today was going to be the start of something new. I feel that this song best describes how I woke up this morning. It is taken from Beauty and the Beast: the Musical.


There's been a change in me
A kind of moving on
Though what I used to be
I still depend upon
For now I realize
That good can come from bad
That may not make me wise
But oh it makes me glad
And I-- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams
But I don't mind
For now I love the world I see
No change of heart a change in me
For in my dark despair
I slowly understood
My perfect world out there
Had disappeared for good
But in it's place I feel
A truer life begin
And it's so good and real
It must come from within
And I-- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams but I don't mind
I'm where and who I want to be
No change of heart
A change in me
No change of heart
A change in me

I am committed to this blog and to changing my whole self (mind, body, spirit). I look forward to the future no matter how long that may be. So, I will write (almost) everyday about everything: my day, exercise, diet, thoughts, political stance, pictures, questions, etc. A bunch of mindless babbling to be exact. I hope you enjoy this journey I am about to embark on. Cheers to the future!

xoxo,
