Crazy day

So today was a little hectic. I

got Little Miss up this morning and to the gym with me this time, where she proceeded to FREAK OUT when I tried to leave her in the playroom with the nursery worker. I'm talking, one hand clawing my hoodie, the other wrapped around my ponytail and NOT letting go. It was quite ugly. The sweet worker finally pried her off me and I made a quick escape to the treadmill, feeling horrible. But of course, two seconds later another worker found me in the locker room and said "she's already stopped crying and is doing sign language in the mirror."

Haha!

She was in there an hour and had a great time and was all smiles when I picked her up, but geez louise I thought we were past that! lol Hopefully next time goes better. She hasn't spazzed at me leaving in forever. So strange!

I was the one who had to work out and should have been crying. lol

Speaking of crying, I have a fitness assessment on Thursday. dum dummm dummmmm. At least it will give me a good "before" reference, right? :)

How's your Monday? I mean Tuesday. Because really, today, it was all the same. And I didn't even mention the cake that took 3 hours to make (courtesy of Little Miss) and the hectic run to dance class with NO NAP for a certain 3 year old (yikes) and the tons of writing I have to do tonight before crashing...

The cake has fruit in it, so it's okay right? :)

First days and other shenanigans...

Today's my first day at the gym!

Wish me luck. I'll be the one panting from an embarassingly slow pace on the treadmill.

I figure the most I'll do on the elliptical tomorrow is just glance at it from a nice, safe distance...maybe while holding a donut and a mocha. ;)

How's your Monday shaping up? Are you at the gym or holding the donut? (Hey, I'm with ya either way!) I'm actually still recovering from spending $388 at Wal-Mart last night. But hey, we're stocked up for a month or so, and I bought a bunch of stuff to cook a ton of dinners, including some new recipes like BBQ Cups and Hawaiian Pork Chops.

I won't get started on how I couldn't buy my Revlon powder/foundation compact because the only ones on the shelf were those that had been "finger tested" - yeah. Someone had opened several and taken a swipe to "test" the color. What nerve! Grrrr. So I will be looking rough at the gym! ha.

That donut is starting to sound beter and better! But I got this. Sigh. I think.

Good times and bad boys....

Last night I spent some time live with Nicole O'Dell on her Teen Talk radio show! We discussed my new release, ADDISON BLAKELY, CONFESSIONS OF A PK and chatted about good girls, bad boys, and dating ;)

Don't forget, just a few days left to enter my picture contest on Facebook! Just email or tag me in a pic on FB of you and the novel, and you are entered to win a super fun prize!

I did it...

I joined the gym!

Yep. I'm diving back into gym world because this one is super nice, super clean, has several locations, isn't known as an oogling beef market (like my previous gym from several years ago) and offers the following FREE of charge: group classes, whirlpool, steam room, indoor lap pool, towels, lockers, AND childcare for the toddler. And its really affordable.

I officially have no more excuses ;)

Have you joined a gym this year? Why or why not?

For me, I feel like if I have a membership I'll use it because I hate wasting money. I don't have a lot of means of exercising around the house, but if I'm making the effort to go and do this, I'll actually go and do it.

Tomorrow... ;)
