There's a sucker born every minute

For the length of this blog you can call me charms.

In my effort to get healthier, lose some weight and tone up, I have bought Nutrisystem, and have been increasing my goings to the gym. You have all recently read with my new found addiction to 5-hour energy shots and sugarless Redbull.

One Saturday morning as I lamented over my bland NutriSystem powdered eggs, I was flipping through channels and happened upon an infomercial for the Ab-circle.

Witness the gist here

NOW, the last time I saw an infomercial for an ab machine, it was around the same time of year. I bought it, and I actually lost around 100 lbs. YEAH, that much!

This thing looks ridiculously easy to use, and actually looks kind of fun.

NOW according to the infomercial, you use this thing, that is like a "treadmill for your abs" 3 minutes a day.

THAT I don't buy, so I'm sure I will be using it for a good 15-30 minutes a day.

I'll post some pics when it arrives, and let you know my true review of it.

My hope is that this ab machine will work just as well as the original one I got so many years go :)

5 HOUR ENERGY... and things that give you wings

Lately I have found that I have become addicted to those 5 hour energy shots. I drink a max of 2 a day, once in the AM once in the evening. They actually work. I was just as shocked by it. You don't get a "jittery" feeling, and you don't crash, which is the most important thing to me.

But I have also gotten another similar addiction, Sugarless redbull. Im sure its not good for me to be drinking one of those to bridge the 2 5 hour energy shots I'm doing per day.

I know when the time comes I am going to have to ween myself off of them, but for now, its giving me the energy I have been craving as of late.

Once it gets warmer, it will totally come in handy when I'm biking in the morning again.

Latest music likes. I have shockingly become enamored with Lady Gaga. Something about her whole CD puts me in a good mood. I know lots of people think she is extraordinarily strange, but eh so be it.

Totally a guilty pleasure listen to me, but I don't care. Whatever makes you feel good, go with (is my theory).

Oh I do want to interject into this pleasant and somewhat sterile blog for a bit of a rant.

WTF is with the people who work downtown, who feel the need to have a PULLEE briefcase? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Those people who have their briefcases, or back packs on a little miniature dolly that they pull here and there, everywhere they go, trailing a good foot and a half to two feet behind them.

They are, for the most part, completely inconsiderate of anyone walking around them. They will trip you, not realize it until it is too late (I've seen this happen, and thankfully it has NOT happened to me). And then these people have the NERVE to look at the person they tripped as if it is their fault and problem.

ALRIGHT, lets break this down. IF YOU ARE TOO WEAK to carry a damn briefcase or backpack normally, you either need to remember to LEAVE things at work and NOT carry so much back and forth, or be considerate of those around you.

These people rank right up there, with the able bodied people who WONT shovel in front of their house, or take an elevator ONE floor. Ofcourse I am speaking purely of ABLE bodied people.

SIGH.... I must have too much energy.

Send me an angel..... right now

It happens every couple of months it seems. My mom's a diabetic, she has been for the past 15 some odd years at least. But it seems in the past couple of years she has been having more episodes where her blood sugar plummets out of nowhere.

The doctors say that there is no way to control it, it just can happen. I dont like that answer, but its not like I can go out and prove them wrong.

I seem to be blessed in the fact that every time her sugar dips, Im around or able to find her just in time. But that scares the shit out of me. Because, I wonder, what if I cant be there.

I know I cant live my life thinking that she cant be alone, but the fact of the matter is SHE CANT BE ALONE.

This isnt me, I dont like drama, I dont like being a "downer" but I want to know what I can do, to keep this shit from happening.

I know, there is nothing I can do, I know she has to take care of herself and be responsible for her health.

Its so fucking frustrating. All the times, Ive found her, and by some miracle was able to bring her back around.

I guess im just scared that one of these times, I wont be available. one of these times I wont be able to get her back.

Sorry, just had to vent.

Time to turn this shite around. SO I got my ticket to Lolla for this year, and IM jazzed about that. Going to see Chris Cornell again in a week with Cappy and his lovely lady Sara!! UBER excited about that, oh yeah and THE REV in August.

Im sure Ill be going to more shows between now and then as well.

Oh well, hope the easter bunny drops some yummy stuff in your baskets.

Talk at ya soon! ~G
