I am personally taking credit for the fact that my four year old niece just told me she loves “Love You Madly” by Cake. WIN.

I’m starting to see some actual, physical changes in my body since I began my new workout/health plan. It’s only been a few weeks, and the changes are small things that probably only I will notice for now, but it’s enough to be seriously encouraging.
And the best part? I’m loving the actual working out part for probably the first time in my life. I found a great studio...

LouisTheCat: is it because hes black
RickDickens77: ...What?
LouisTheCat: is your boss driving you crazy because hes black
RickDickens77: No. That's not why.
RickDickens77: My boss isn't even black.
LouisTheCat: is it because hes siamese
RickDickens77: No. Siamese? No. My boss is white, like me, not that it matters.
LouisTheCat: is it because hes a woman
RickDickens77: No, my boss isn't- OK what is this about
LouisTheCat: ive just heard some things rick
LouisTheCat: some terrible things
RickDickens77: Right. From who.
LouisTheCat: the bad cats
RickDickens77: The bad cats. The bad cats were talking about me.
LouisTheCat: thats right
LouisTheCat: why do you think i got in a fight
RickDickens77: You got in a fight because of me?
LouisTheCat: i got in a fight defending your honor rick
RickDickens77: What on earth were they saying?
LouisTheCat: some things i dont even want you to have to hear
RickDickens77: Try me.
LouisTheCat: are you sure
RickDickens77: Out with it.
LouisTheCat: they say youre racist rick
RickDickens77: Well, that's crazy.
LouisTheCat: is it
LouisTheCat: is it rick
RickDickens77: Why, do you agree?
LouisTheCat: well
LouisTheCat: is it or is it not true that you targeted the two black cats down the street for tearing up our doormat
RickDickens77: They were the ones doing it!
LouisTheCat: sounds like profiling to me
RickDickens77: There were chunks of it in their back yard!
LouisTheCat: circumstantial evidence
RickDickens77: Wait, this is ridiculous.
RickDickens77: Those cats are troublemakers.
LouisTheCat: those cats
LouisTheCat: listen to yourself
RickDickens77: I don't hold an opinion about black cats, the ones who did that just happen to be black.
LouisTheCat: so you expect us to believe you didnt look to them first
LouisTheCat: because of their color
RickDickens77: All cats are the same!
LouisTheCat: rick
LouisTheCat: wow
LouisTheCat: i dont even know what to say
LouisTheCat: just wow
RickDickens77: You know what I mean.

LouisTheCat: lazy
LouisTheCat: untrustworthy
LouisTheCat: good at basketball
LouisTheCat: ive heard them all rick
RickDickens77: Stop it.
LouisTheCat: anyway thats not all they say about you
RickDickens77: I can't wait.
LouisTheCat: now i dont think this is true
LouisTheCat: theyre probably just making this up
LouisTheCat: but these guys say youre a cat smuggler
RickDickens77: A what.
LouisTheCat: a cat smuggler
RickDickens77: I don't think there is any such thing.
LouisTheCat: youd be surprised
LouisTheCat: happens all the time
RickDickens77: It does?
LouisTheCat: oh rick you would not believe
RickDickens77: I bet I wouldn't. Anyway, why would they think that about me?
LouisTheCat: apparently
LouisTheCat: and trust me they would never hear this from me
LouisTheCat: but theres this rumor that a few years ago you took a cat from old mrs wembley
RickDickens77: Oh really.
LouisTheCat: just saying what i heard
RickDickens77: That's a pretty bold accusation.
LouisTheCat: the true ones often are
RickDickens77: Well that one does happen to be true.
LouisTheCat: rick
LouisTheCat: rick no
LouisTheCat: how could you even
RickDickens77: IT WAS YOU LOU.
LouisTheCat: you stole me oh my god
RickDickens77: NO, SHE GAVE YOU TO ME.
RickDickens77: She had like ten cats, and she was getting too old to take care of them, so she was giving them away.
LouisTheCat: oh that mrs wembley
RickDickens77: Yeah. That Mrs. Wembley. I had permission to take you.
LouisTheCat: ok well lets say for a second that i buy that
LouisTheCat: and im not saying these guys will
LouisTheCat: but even if i believe you about that much
LouisTheCat: they also say
LouisTheCat: and again this is just what im hearing on the streets
LouisTheCat: they say theres a lady who left here smelling like cat pee
RickDickens77: Oh, for God's sake.
LouisTheCat: hey thats just the word out there
RickDickens77: I bet if you think REAL HARD, you can figure out what that one's about.
LouisTheCat: yeah ok i might remember something about that
LouisTheCat: still
LouisTheCat: you have to admit it looks suspicious
RickDickens77: I have to do nothing of the sort.
RickDickens77: Now listen, I need to get back to work so I can get home and help you out.
LouisTheCat: theres one more thing rick
RickDickens77: Alright, go. Quickly.
LouisTheCat: you drive a ford festiva
LouisTheCat: the whole neighborhood thinks you drive a festiva
RickDickens77: I do drive a Festiva. It's a good American car.
LouisTheCat: oh god i cant even
LouisTheCat: i just barfed
LouisTheCat: rick why
RickDickens77: It's a car, what's the big deal
LouisTheCat: oh my god i cant even stop barfing

LouisTheCat: im trying to defend you rick
LouisTheCat: im putting my reputation on the line out there

Hey guess what?
I finally figured out how to change my damn picture on here since the last one was from like 3 years ago.
Also, it’s super easy to change your picture. I guess I wasn’t trying very hard before.

Let me add this after my post from yesterday about my jerk dogs being jerks: today they got in a fight after some commotion with someone knocking on the door and me jumping out of the shower to get dressed and answer it. Occasionally when there’s craziness like this, my corgi feels the need to let my other dog know that he’s in charge via bullying him a little. It sounds much worse...

It’s reached the point in the evening where one dog is running circles around the living room and ricocheting off the couch, and the other is laying submissively upside down in the middle of the floor; I’m sitting in the chair with my legs tucked up so a rogue corgi doesn’t run full speed into them, and wondering, yet again, why I just had to have pets.

New year’s resolution: lose the 10 pounds I gained this past year. Or at least not gain 10 more.

Going to see the Old 97’s play tonight for the third time this year. Someone asked me the other day why I’d want to see the same band that many times; why not break it up a bit and see some other shows? There are plenty of other bands I love to see live, but given the choice between two bands, I’ll pick the Old 97’s every time because there is no one else that manages to...

I was prepared to throw a serious fit if TSA tried to take my candy-filled gift tins (which are my gifts for several people this year because I don’t have any money) away from me at security. I admit I was a little paranoid after hearing about the woman in Massachusetts that had her cupcakes taken away. Luckily, all that happened was an uncomfortable body scan and a very uncomfortable body...

Okay people, I’m well on my way to sinus infection #2 of the last 2 1/2 months. I eat fairly healthy, I’m active, I get plenty of Vitamin C. I get sick way too often and I’m seriously over it. So help me out: what are your tips for boosting the immune system?

Just a reminder to my nursing friends - I also have another blog where I post things relevant to nursing school or the nursing profession, if you’re interested. I also LOVE submissions from current students or nurses, so please go submit a story, experience, or resource if you like. Thanks!

I’m fairly proud of myself, so I’m going to write about this even though I know none of you really care, and are probably thinking, “Whoopdee-freaking-do, you worked out today? I do that every day. Big deal.” WELL IT IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME AND I WILL NOT LET YOU RUIN THIS.
Ahem. Where were we?
I’ve been working out pretty consistently (at least three times a...

Annnd cue the second cold of the season. Let’s hope this one doesn’t turn into another sinus infection. Ugh. :(
Also, sorry for the duplicate post (if you follow both my blogs), but the video warranted a post in both. :)
Apparently a really quick and easy way to get some people to make complete asses of themselves is to say something negative about Rick Perry on Facebook. Then you just sit back and watch the ignorance and hatred come spewing out.
Need some new workout tunes.
I find that I will work out ten times as hard and twice as long if I’m listening to music with a strong, energetic beat. That being said, I listen to a lot of the same stuff and I’m getting bored. So, what are your favorite songs to listen to when you work out? What gets you really pumped up?
P.S. I’m not nearly as picky with my musical preferences when I’m working out,...

Mad Men/ Arrested Development crossover. Hysterical.
Hey, it’s 71 degrees in Knoxville, TN right now…and it’s 39 (but “feels like” 29) here in TX. I’m pretty sure this is the work of some higher power, punishing me for leaving Knoxville and moving back here.
At least she's honest.
Me to 3-year-old niece: Caroline, I want you to be a little nicer to me.

Before you get all offended by the title, just go read it. It’s a long article, but I like the overall gist of the message: it doesn’t matter whether you agree with someone’s life choices, or even if you just can’t accept who they are (I add that in because I don’t believe being gay is a choice - but hey, even if you do believe it is a choice, this still applies to...

Blogger Linda Holmes (@nprmonkeysee) explains what Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber are doing in their new video that premiered last night.
Here’s a taste: 0:13 Mariah “Mannequin” Carey is standing against a fake stone wall next to a pile of presents. In the spirit of holiday charity, she has given her pants to the poor and is now getting by on a bra she recovered from the lost and found...

Things I’ve discovered in the last two days:
1. Studying while working out serves two purposes - I study harder because it gives me something else to think about, and also it distracts me from how hard I’m working out and I can go for longer.
2. I did not need to study at all, as it turns out, because the test I took today was a joke, as is the class in general. Cannot wait for...
Pier 1 sales at Christmastime are a super dangerous thing for me.
On another note, my dining room table looks awesome.
