It is never a bad way to end the weekend, watching The Big Lebowski . That we did, for the I don't know how many-eth time. We have seen it a lot. (Plus a little Monty Python , always a good time for that really.) But now back to work from my completely do nothing vacation, well staycation really. Honestly, I did a little more than nothing, but not much. I hardly cooked, didn't go anywhere but the grocery store, did minimal laundry (that still needs to be folded). I sat on the couch most of the time. I successfully lounged and read several kindle fun books. So this is a nice way to ease in to tackeling my work emails, a nice tune from Bob Dylan . (website here if you want to get lost in Bob ) Besides hubby requested it, and it is kinda nice to hear him sing along, even if he is immitating Bob, he is a bit better than Bob. But, if I have to play it again, and read him the lyrics, having heard him say one too many times 'What is that he said there?' , I may ...

Source - Pinterest Go, ask, step. Sometimes we need a reminder, if we are feeling stuck or stagnant, to just do it. Sometimes it is that simple, even if it does take a great effort. It will get you results. I needed this reminder, as I have stopped working out, been really lazy, and now feel stagnant. I will be starting a new job Monday, which I am actually very excited about, even if a bit worried about the huge job description and big responsibility.  I worked my whole life really, for just this type of position (GO), I applied (ASK), and I was offered the job (STEP). Now, after weeks of waiting and being most definitely lazy, back to work I go. For me, I have decided this also means back to working out, back to blogging, back to not being lazy. A good reminder, just to GO, ASK, STEP.

Wow. I haven't really had a lazy weekend like this one in ages. The weather took a turn, and we have had stormy and chilly weather. Not like the East Cost of the US chilly, but darn chilly for a tropical island. And it has really sapped the motivation. You would think I would be all - "It is perfect wogging weather! I am so getting out there to wog!!"  But nope. Nothing. I glance at the shoes, that is it. I guess it is good to just be lazy some weekends. And when it is rainy and gray and cool, it is quite nice to stay cuddled up on the couch under a blanket.  I even relaxed enough to have this dream, a dream that I remember, and had a content hopeful feeling to it!  It was a running dream. I have them somtimes, particularly when I haven't been running or wogging. So the dream goes: I go for a run. And I am running down some street or up some hill, breathing  heavy and everything. Feels Like I am really running, except I always feel great and fast in my drea...

from Pinterest via http://paleoaholic.com/ My mind was the one that had the bright idea to try the early morning Cross Fit class. I knew I had to do it, get back to seriously exercising, but I was afraid. I had not been to Cross Fit since the end of May. Two WHOLE MONTHS. Plus, I did very little in the way of any other exercise. I stopped getting up early for run/walks. I hardly walked on the beach. Swim? Nope. Kayak? Once. Eat? Hell yeah! I ate. I ate pizza, fried fish with French fries (yumm), and more pizza, had cookies, pies, ice cream. I even broke down and had a Wendy's burger with French fries (yummm). (I LOVE French fries) Ugh. By yesterday, after polishing off half a pie in 2 days, I was downright feeling fat, disgusted with myself. Now, I DID enjoy everything I ate. I made sure to. I knew all along it would catch up with me. And yesterday it did. I felt like I was rolling down the hallways at work, sloshing around the house. When I sat I felt like Jabb...

I have only missed 2 days of posting every day this month for NaBloWriMo . So far . But the end is so close I would hate to add to that based on the  lazy feeling that has kept me from posting today.  Well, not completely lazy. I DID get a lot of work done. Made some cute Santa Toekini's , and worked on a custom order I got from the local gift shop. AND struggled with the Snowman Toekini's ...they are still in progress. (It is the yarn I am struggling with, but you will soon see.) The lazy feeling relates to not feeling like writing. It is something I have to force myself to do tonight. But the funny thing is once I start, it comes naturally tonight . This does not happen very often! I think I will let it flow , and enjoy the ideas as they come .  Stop and smell the flowers, so to speak . Come to think of it, we did just that on Sunday , during our hike. (more on the hike tomorrow in the Walking on Wednesday series )   Grouping of small, beauti...

That is exactly how I feel today. After a crazy full weekend, After a crazy full week last week, After our out of town visitors left  after being here 2 weeks . My allergies are bad , again today,  and from all the reports  will not be any better  for the rest of the week . And also, the show I worked so hard to prep for,  was a lot of work  for a few little sales . So today, I don't feel like doing anything. I am sure you all have days like that too. Days where your get up and go   already got up and went . Days where you just want to stay in your bed . Days where you don't want to comb your hair , 'Cause you ain't gonna go nowhere . So kick your feet up and stare at the fan , Turn the TV on ,  and throw your hand down your pants .... ( it's in the lyrics folks! ) and enjoy this fun song,  The Lazy Song , by Bruno Mars . The monkeys made me giggle all through the video.
