I miss you. All of you.

It's been a while.

brb.

A victory, though... I have held my weight within a pound or three since I stopped working out. That means, my eating is pretty tight, now if I added more cardio and less Bacardio, we'd be rocking (okay, so it's wine - whatever).

Expectation versus Reality. Yikes.



I've missed y'all. I really have. I mean, I may not *know* you personally, but we've shared something here. Baring my soul for all of the teeth of the Internet to chew me to pieces. "None of us are as cruel as all of us." I heard that somewhere.

Anyway. I think the thing that has sucked my life most is the new puppy. Oh, yes. We came back from Tennessee with a puppy. Originally, we struck out for Moonshine and a good time (both of which were had).

But the puppy.

Ouch, that's cute.



Behold. The puppy. And I am a tired Mama.

(While I was writing this, I had to step away at this point to rescue my boiled eggs, which are now extra-done. Right.)

While I've recently come to the realization that I just got a little lazy (he does sleep after all), I also lost the motivation to write. Writer's block? Probably. But I'm back at it... Because the only way you get over the Block is to WRITE.

This has been quite a learning experience for me. The cat was awesome, because he would just wander off and sleep. This one has made me realize that I can still love something, even when he's chewing shoes, eating the fringe off the carpet, and wiggling in between my feet as I'm trying to walk.

But I am such a proud Mama. He is so smart and just wants to snuggle the pants off you.

The plan is to put him in training to be a therapy dog for children's hospitals, patients with Alzheimer's, and anybody who needs a pretty good hug. He is such a lover. :)

"Mom, can I eat it?"

Besides, if the puppy becomes a dog with a job, my nice leather couches, floor rugs, and shoes might just survive all this.

I miss CrossFit, too... But I kept hearing people talking about what an amazing family they had at their box, and I can totally see that, but this is a family I get to choose. :)

A different box in the opposite direction may very well be in my list of places to visit soon. And it's so full of irony... I'll save that for later.

CrossFit. What was your excuse again?

No, srsly. Wat was it?

Moondog Yoga. :) What you put into the universe comes back. Every. Time. Namaste.

Be the awesomest version of you that you can be.
