how are all my workout/eating healthy peeps doing??
little update here… i’ve been doing real good with my new lifestyle. i’ve hit the gym at least 4 days a week and have stuck to my healthy eating like glue.
now – i leave for vacation early thursday morning. my goal is to continue my healthier eating but not to punish myself by not enjoying a treat or 10 while away. i will let you all know how i’m doing. i plan on going on walks/jogs as often as i can too.
i know. what normal person would even care about this on their vacation o_o
this is a good time for some housekeeping as well.
i will resume the plan b study when i return from vacation in a couple weeks.
i will be posting here and there as inspiration, or real good stories from the vacation clan, arise.
also, i will be reposting some of my favorite posts throughout the life of InProgress. and lets just see if there’s even been any progress 
and to help keep me occupied/entertained while in the car for at least 11 hours thursday…could you indulge me by answering a couple q’s? =)
*if you were the opposite sex for a whole week…what would you do?
*you have one high school do-over…what is it?
*if your life was made into a song, what would be the title? who would sing it?
(and if you’re brave enough you can even share your own lyrics)
*do you role play, or talk out loud to people who aren’t there, in the bathroom when you’re getting ready for the day?
*if you were the opposite sex for a whole week…what would you do?"
I would terribly miss my girly stuff… sandals, high heels, pink nail polish, long hair… although, a wash and wear 'do might provide a nice break…
I would open doors for women – I think it's awesome when men do that, so I suppose I should use my week to try and resuscitate at least one of the dying gentleman acts…
I'd miss wearing bracelets and earrings… skirts and dresses…
I like being a girl. Is my week over yet?
i like being a girl too!
we have that "silent" power about us. i love it!
Hey, have a great time!
To answer your first ?, Never leave the house! And that's all I have to say bout that!..BWAHAHAHA!
High school do-over? Be a lot less of a man-whore.
Song? Titled "Rocky Road"…also a good ice cream, but I'm positive I don't have what is needed to give ya lyrics this morning. I think good ole Russ Hutto would sing it though
.
Talk to people who aren't there? Pretty sure that's an issue that may require professional help Tam, but I do occasionally talk to Elijah like he understands everything I'm saying. Sometimes I even answer questions for him to steer where I go with the conversation. It's my way around insanity. Amazing the usefulness of a baby.
Again, enjoy the vaca!!
At least sharing your issues of insanity with a baby, he can't go and tell other people. Unless of course he requires therapy later from all your issues and they hypnotize him. But otherwise you should be fairly safe.
That's half of the reason I'll be a counselor….my family alone will keep me in business
.
oh yes. definitely need professional help with that one.
one day…i was chatting, brent walked into the room and asked, "what?" – i respond with, "huh?"
to which he walked off protesting…"i miss out on so much of your life!"
all because i talk to myself. all. the. time.
hehe.
Pray you and the fam. have an amazing time on vacay! Safe travels!
1. What I would do – I could take care of in an hour… or less. Seriously. Public washrooms -> pee standing up. That's all. Hovering. Well that's just getting far too old. It would be nice not to have to worry about all the ickiness. :-/
2.Not be so shy or such a loner. :-/
3.Called? Meterorite.
Something about life being beautiful even with the potential for disaster but the need to reach for the falling stars.
Ah. Who would sing it? Toss up between Mariah Carey (for the high notes) or Weird Al (cause he could take it and make me laugh).
4.I'll admit to it. I do. Especially if I'm tired. You know all the thoughts you have when say… grocery shopping? "I prefer the whole wheat. But this brand is cheaper. If I pick up this tin of coffee and the roommate drinks it all then I won't get any sleep. Where's the tea?" You know all that? I tend to think out loud far too often. And telephone convo's I always "rehearse". I hate talking on the telephone. Nothing wrong with being prepared right? 8-/
"I hate talking on the telephone."
i just knew we were "sister-mates"!
Imma gonna answer the song question. Because I have actually written a number of songs that directly reflect my life. Started with "Just a Girl" and keeps going from there… Hmmm…. maybe this should be a blog post for me.
Have a GREAT vacation, Tam. So excited that y'all get this time together.
xxoo
hi, booger.
1. I shouldn't say. So I won't.
2. probably not being so young would have been good. also, not witnessing a rape. Mainly that one
3. I only do that for other people
4. rarely actually talk out loud to people who aren't there, but in my head…all the time.
You're #2 yeah, that can scar one and definitely calls for a do-over.
2. makes me sad. im sorry.
*if you were the opposite sex for a whole week…what would you do?
Go to a bridal shop and pretend to be getting married so I can see what it's like when girls are pampered and catered to like brides traditionally have been…
*you have one high school do-over…what is it?
Not look at girls as sex objects.
*if your life was made into a song, what would be the title? who would sing it?
(and if you’re brave enough you can even share your own lyrics)
For some reason…this one came to my mind the second I read the question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMyCa35_mOg&fe…
*do you role play, or talk out loud to people who aren’t there, in the bathroom when you’re getting ready for the day?
No, I don't hear voices. (YES YOU DO) No, I don't. Really. (YES YOU DO!!!) OK. maybe I do.
i like your number 2!
*if you were the opposite sex for a whole week…what would you do?
-i thought i was the opposite sex once in my life… LOL you wouldn't wanna know the things i did when i thought i was a boy.
*you have one high school do-over…what is it?
-to actually study instead of partying too much.
*if your life was made into a song, what would be the title? who would sing it?
- warrior is a child (twila paris)
*do you role play, or talk out loud to people who aren’t there, in the bathroom when you’re getting ready for the day?
mainly to remind me of what i need to do. i think that's one of the downsides of being single..not having a constant friend to talk to…but i realize that i can me my friend 
though my friends say that im just really using that as an excuse to talk to the "voices in my head" LOL
-i talk to myself all the time.
number 1 is intriguing!
trying to get over your first answer….
hold on….
thats a homeschool tip i needed…thanks!
If i were a guy, I would walk around with my shirt off cause it would be allowed.
My highschool do-over would be dating Travid Sturgeon. I loved him as a best friend and I broke his heart. In turn, I saw him walk away from God and it was the worst thing I've ever felt.
My song would be called "He is Faithful." That's the serious one. The funny song would be "Shake your groove than." Oh wait…
YES… I talk to myself. I rehearse conversations. I prepare for meetings. My daughter is used to it now. She thinks I'm crazy.
#1 – I would walk around with my shirt off too, ristowswife
#2 – Not sure. I really enjoyed high school. Maybe try to be more of a light in a dark place than I was. Oh, and study more. Yr 12's not that hard in hindsight.
#3 – my friends would probably call it "The short aussie girl from port lincoln". Whatever song, I want Brooke Fraser to sing it.
#4 – I talk to myself in my head a lot. Even laugh at my own jokes (that noone hears but me). But not so much outloud. However, in my car – totally different set of rules. I even make car noises when I drive.
Tam – (#1 made me think of this) – there's a fun Aussie movie from years ago called "Dating The Enemy" (Guy Pearce, Claudia Karvan) that I LOVE. Basic premise, they switch bodies. (and this came out a LONG time before Hot Chick). Good fun if you can find it.
