6 days till 43

It is a little weird to see the number 43. I usually don't feel old since I am married to someone slightly older, but I can say that this birthday, I am NOT in the best shape of my life. I have neglected myself since starting my semifulltimejob. I am bored of cooking when I get home since I cook for 6 hours and my feet are tired after standing on them half the day (ok, I know my Nurse friend is laughing at me, she is on her feet ALL DAY!!). I am bored with running, I am bored with walking, I am bored of lifting weights.

Bored bored bored

I checked out a new book from the library called Eat to Live

I don't think it will give me any info I don't know, but I am in need of massive motivation.

Don't read this wrong, my weight is holding steady and though I would LOVE to be about 5-10 lbs lighter, my jeans fit and I have banned yoga pants this holiday season.

Just needing a little oomph in my stoomph!!

I am ho hum on my birthday, too. I have pretty much either bought everything for people to wrap and give me or told them what I want. Historically, I am not a fan of surprises, but I wouldn't mind if there was one or two, even if it was just an evening out.

I do not need another surprise call about Youngest's teachers having to watch him all day for signs of a concussion after he bonked his head at gym. The goose egg on his forehead is NOT a good surprise. Nope, not on my birthday list.

I need a haircut in a big way but Daughter wants me to keep growing it out. Not sure what her agenda is, but I really need a trim!!

I think I am done complaining now. Just bored with it all. Don't need any major shakeups to get me going but I need a sign. Something, anything.

I think winning the Power Ball would put me in the right frame of mind :)

Rock on Friends,
