SCARLETT'S BLOG

Hello Humans.....How is everyone today? For me it's another lazy Sunday. Mama has been up since 7 a.m. She is like a ball of energy on this cold lazy morning! She got up and did her workout, I watched sweat pour down her as she ran around looking like an idiot. I keep that to myself because well....I'm a cat and I think it's pointless. But it really seems to make Mama happy. If you thought Mama was perky before you should see here after 30 minutes of Turbo Jam.

Now Mama credits Turbo Jam to the weight loss she's been having and I for one am so proud of her. She's been working her butt off. Literally! Ha ha!! I did help a bit today as Mama made some breakfast. She made some banana nut muffins. I guess this will be a regular Sunday thing with us when it's cold. I sat in the kitchen and supervised. It's what I do best :) and when Mama had the oven door open I went and sat under it. Not a warmer seat in the house! I watched as Mama went out and cleaned off the car and watched as other silly humans were doing the same. Everyone in the building is on the go today! Not me! I think soon I'll settle in for my mid morning nap. That will be followed by my 2 minute toy play in the living room that will then be followed by my afternoon nap. Yeah....house life is good :)

Tails up humans!!

VERDICT IS IN.....

O.K.!! I did it! I lost weight over a holiday!! And it was over a holiday where all you do is eat for two weeks! Yeah!!!!!!! It's not easy to do such a thing....But I really have to give credit to Turbo Jam. It's my workout Dvd. Well one of my MANY! Lol!! I did a 40 minute workout yesterday that earned me 10 extra points and trust me when I say....I used them all with two helpings of pasta and I didn't feel guilty at all. :)

Now I did make one New Years Resolution.....It was to be fabulous as much as possible. I'm trying to wear lipstick and necklaces to work every day....At least one of them every day! I had forgotten how great you feel just by adding some color to your lips and having something shiny around your neck! It makes your inner beauty come out! Go on try it!!

Other than that....The aerobics and weight loss are not a resolution. See I just need to do that for me! And trust me when I say the closer I get to 35 the harder it is to actually loose weight! But I'm gonna plug away and do the best I can!

Miss Scarlett has been good :) She's all snuggled in right now in bed. She said to me this morning that she likes to sleep in on cold days like this. Although I find that hard to believe since I woke up at 4 a.m. to go the the bathroom and she was up and looking out the window! Lol. I'm more the early to bed early to rise type. And she is the stay up all night type. We do fine though. Even when we both take a nap on a Sunday afternoon on the sofa....And yeah I feel that coming on, LOL!!

This morning I'm headed to the kitchen to make some banana nut muffins. Gotta love that smell! Scarlett will help me....She loves to tinker in the kitchen. Stay warm my loves :)

NEW YEAR NEW ME!

Hello all! I'm never really sure who is reading this....and lately it's been no one since I've been mute! Lol!! The times they are a changing! And this lady is ready for changes!

Resolutions....Sorry I don't make those. But I'm making promises to myself. I will workout! I will be my sexy self again! I will do things for me and to make me feel better! I've already given up on dating and finding "the one". Yeah that ship has sailed. I have to admit that for the past few months I've been happier than I've been in years. If you have no one you are chasing after no one can let you down. And lets face it.....That's really all I've had happen in my life with men. Lots and lots of let downs. NO MORE!!

I've been cooking up a storm lately and with the new Points Plus thing going on at Weight Watchers I'm hoping I'll see results! The fact that most of your fruits and veggies are now free in points is a big PLUS!! I've also dug out all my workout dvd's and dusted them off. It's time to get real people! When the weather is nice in the spring I hope to make it back out to the track. And perhaps get my jog on! Lol!! In these winter months I'll keep it inside and do Yoga Booty Ballet and Kickboxing!

And I'm gonna get my movie self on! Lol! Today we are headed to the movies. Last week I went and saw the Tourist. I loved it! Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie....Yeah for me! Today it's Black Swan. I've heard lots about it. And I'm gonna be the judge today! Lol! I'm also gearing up for this years Oscar party. Yeah, I'm that girl! Lol! I'm the host est with the most est!

Well everyone....Be well, Live well, and take care of yourselves. Who else can you count on? Ha ha!

Love,

Melly

DATING.....

Why is it necessary? Oh yeah so one can feel complete and have a husband and family. Gee I wonder if that will ever happen for me. Any more dating seems so ruff. It's not a sport for the faint of heart. In fact I've really not done it for a while.

It seems like the older I get the harder it is to find a good man. Are there really any out there? I hate to say I'm about to give up hope but damn!! Seriously!! And if I do by chance end up with a good one I'm totally freaked the hell out that I'll screw up something! I hate to admit it but I've come to the point in my life where I'd like to actually settle down and have that wonderful life. But that plan isn't really happening....AT ALL, lol. See in order to have that you have to be with someone you can trust and someone that will love you back.

I have recently met a nice guy that for the first time in a VERY long time I was excited and nervous to meet. Which can only mean bad news for my heart. I have a wonderful girlfriend who has told me to be positive. And I'm trying that. I like to say things like he'll call. When he gets the chance. And I think it was super sweet of him to show up and spend time with me on a day that he was having a really bad day. And for a couple of hours I like to think I made him smile. But that's what I do I'm Suzie Sunshine! Lol.

Frankly I'm terrified in general with any man anymore for fear of being hurt so badly again. I wish I could say that it gets easier through time but really all it does is burn you deeper till you can't recall what love ever was. Romance is nonexistent. Love....yeah I've felt it before. My girlfriend (who I like to call the wise one, lol) has said that I need to feel sexy to be sexy and that men will feed off that. I agree with her but I've pretty much felt like a total looser the past few months. Especially when one of my ex-boyfriends dumped me cuz i was "too good of a person". How on earth is that possible?

The only good thing I have to say about this year is that thank God I only had one boyfriend smash my heart up this year. Since when did relationship become a four letter word? I know that there has to be one guy out there that is worthy and sweet and treats me just as well as i treat him. I deserve someone great. I do dammit! :)

SCRATCHING MY HEAD....

WARNING......NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, I'M CUSSING AND PISSED IN HERE. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW.

Let me start this by saying...Thanks to the powers that be by the mighty facebook I've found one of my ex boyfriends....yeah and I'm pretty much disgusted! His wife and I share a common friend...be it a radio station but all the same that is how I saw his asshole face pop up on my screen! You all know me....of course I'm gonna dig! And I saw that they were married in Jan. of 09. That means that Ken the Asshole was married ten days after he dumped me! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???????????? I am at a total loss for words. Had I known I was up against that I'd never of waisted tears on that ASSHOLE! This totally breaks all the hope I've ever had in finding true love. It just isn't out there is it?

Another guy I went out with on one real date and then we hung out one other time tried to pressure me into having sex with him. When I told him that I didn't think that was smart because we'd not even kissed yet, his response was....the time hadn't presented itself to kiss me....Oh but it had presented itself for me to get naked and lay down with him? WHAT THE HELL?????? Now a few weeks later he's got a girlfriend....SERIOUSLY??

What is wrong with me? Why do men not want a nice, wonderful, loyal, sweetheart like me? I've been dumped for so many reasons. And each time it stings a bit more. I just don't get it. I know I'm not desperate.....I'm a good person. So why on earth is it so hard for a good man to actually want me? What did I ever do? I'm 34, I'm not sure if I'll ever have children. I'm not sure I'll ever be married and have that "wonderful" life. I honestly thought that by now I'd be settled down and be on my way to having it all. But all I see is everyone else getting and having it all. And me....Yeah. Pity Party Table of 1. Story of my life.

No wonder Ken didn't spend any time with me when he got back from Iraq....HE WAS GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How stupid am I? And that was a year ago he took the plunge. I even saw her with him once at a resturant....man....I should of approached him like I'd thought....But I was the bigger person. Man I'm an idiot!

SCARLETT'S BLOG

Hello humans....Oh my what a day. We had some stuff happen here in the apartment. Yesterday the loud people next door had a clogged drain in the bathroom. And well, it backed up the tub here in our place and Mama was not happy when she got home and got that message I'll tell ya! There was this smelly brown gooey stuff that came up in our tub and it was just nasty as can be! Mama said that they couldn't fix it till today.

Well we know what that means right humans....I had to be locked up in the bedroom! And all our kitchen stuff was put in the living room and dining room. Mama was cussing up a storm last night too. So today while I was locked up we got new pipes and the tub is working and we got new cabinets put in....well the same ones but i think a bit up dated. I'm gonna go inspect here soon.

Normally I'm pretty upset when I get locked up but I have to say all in all today I was ok in the bedroom. Mama always brings in my litter and food and I have to say it was a nice day to nap. no pesky birds chirping and keeping me awake! And it's pretty nice when i get to wake up hop off the bed and go right to my food dish....I feel like royalty! Lol!

Well humans, I need to make my rounds and make sure that the handyman and plumber did all the work well! Inspection Kitty to the rescue!

JUDGEMENT DAY....

Yesterday was judgement day for this heifer. Yeah I rejoined Weight Watchers. And I really wasn't happy with the number on the scale. But I now have my new goals in front of my face and I really have to stick with the program. I've let myself go for so long in so many ways.

I got allot out of the meeting and was impressed by the amount of actual overweight women there. I was in Weight Watchers a few years back and I know it works I'm ready to remake myself yet again! In fact when I went to the store later in the day I got all the healthy things I used to eat and I forgot how much those things cost! Yikes!! But I found some really cool things! Who knew they had bagel thins. I'm sure everyone on here has seen them because I tend to "new things" way after other people! Lol. But bagel thins are like someone took a bagel and cut the very top and very bottom off and put them in a bag. And they are only 2 points compared to a regular bagel which can be 6 points for more. Yeah...see what I'm sayin?

Then yesterday my cousin and I went walking on the high school track. I really do like walking there. It's a nice track. And after we went a mile my legs didn't kill me like when we go walking around town. And today my legs aren't hurting like before. So....yeah mushy track :)

It's a process to loose weight but I've done it before a few years ago. I just have to put my mind to it and I know I can do it again. Conditioning is what i gotta do.

Think Thin :)
