Blame the heat

I've been so bad! Last Wednesday when I worked out it was the first time in a week and nearly killed me. So I was going to be better and go a lot this week. Two days later, on Friday I went to yoga class...

...and haven't been back since. hehe. So much for being good. My trainer had to cancel last night be cause of a stomach bug. I will go to yoga tomorrow night though. I probably will miss the Sunday class though at 2 pm. There's just so much to do on the weekends. And it's so hot I don't feel like doing a whole lot. But at least I'm not just sitting on my ass. Not a lot anyway. LoL

I will do better! If I blog it, I will do it. Right? Eh, we'll see.

Seriously

I was thinking today, wouldn't it be cool if I had minions to do my bidding? That would be awesome.

Space: The Final Frontier

I finally saw Star Trek last weekend. First I have to say, I am totally not a Trekkie. I remember seeing the original in reruns AFTER seeing Star Wars. Of course that made it seem kind of silly, but I remember some of the characters. The characters are what stuck with me. I have not even seen all of the Star Trek movies with the original cast. I was a bit of a New Generation junkie though.

The new movie was most excellent! The new people playing old characters were awesome! The actors should get awards for capturing the original character and portraying them very convincingly. Of course Kirk was the least recognizable, but come on, Shatner is too classic to copy too well. ;) I was most worried about new Spock. See, I always loved old Spock. I can even do the vulcan salute without using my other hand to position my fingers. New Spock? I luvs him too. :)

So without giving away the movie, I had many wonderful geeky-I-know-what-that-refers-to-moments. But even someone who has no idea what Star Trek is would enjoy this. It is just a great Sci-Fi action packed movie. And it has a half naked green chick. Come on, who doesn't think a half naked green chick is interesting?

Live long and prosper.

If only I'd read this years ago...

Ten signs that you are being stalked.

Perhaps the most important was the last:

10. Cumulative unwanted contact of any kind.

Perhaps no particular incident stands out in your mind as being dangerous, however, when you look at the entire picture, what you see alarms you. Do you experience repeated unwanted contact from the same person? If it is someone you know, tell him he is making you uncomfortable. If the situation continues, report him to the police. If it is someone you do not know, go directly to the police.

Stalking is often subtle, yet pervasive. In fact, the stalker is counting on you feeling as if his actions are ordinary demonstrations of affection. If you find yourself experiencing any of these situations on a consistent basis, you may be the victim of stalking, and your quick reporting to the police is the most effective tool in putting an end to the stalker’s terror.


Everyone that comes here should read this. Even if the situation does not become violent it still takes a lot out of you to deal with this. And then of course when the victim becomes moody and paranoid, it makes the stalker look innocent. Pass the link to everyone you know.

Interesting...

A few interesting tidbits from here:

Individuals characterised as stalkers may have a mistaken belief that the other person loves them (erotomania), or have a desire to help the other person. Stalking consists of a series of actions which in themselves can be legal, such as calling on the phone, sending gifts, or sending emails.


Incompetent suitors, despite poor social or courting skills, have a fixation, or in some cases a sense of entitlement to an intimate relationship with those who have attracted their amorous interest. Their victims are most often already in a dating relationship with someone else.


Stalking can be a terrifying experience for victims, placing them at risk of psychological trauma, and possible physical harm. As Rokkers writes, "Stalking is a form of mental assault, in which the perpetrator repeatedly, unwontedly, and disruptively breaks into the life-world of the victim, with whom they have no relationship (or no longer have). Moreover, the separated acts that make up the intrusion cannot by themselves cause the mental abuse, but do taken together (cumulative effect)."

Set the record straight

Just in case there is any doubt why I started a private blog, I would like to clarify. I did not start it to bash someone or talk rudely about anyone. I post mostly happy thoughts there. I started it simply to be able to share things with my bloggy buddies that I did not wish to be common knowledge with the general public. Personal things. Back when nobody knew who this blog belonged to I did not have that problem. That's why my full name is not on this blog. There used to be a link to here from my Twitter, but I don't think I use my full name there either. I posted what I wanted with full anonymity other than the few folks I have shared my name with elsewhere.

That is all.

Sun Sign Reflections

I'm kinda tired, and have had just a wee bit of vodka to relax and sleep well, so this might come out weird. But I've had these thoughts bouncing around my brain for a while, and I'd like to get them out. Not a whole lot of room left in there. ;)

I really believe there is something to the whole horoscope thing, and sun signs, moon signs, etc. And while I am definitely no expert, I can see correlations with different people and signs. So that prompted me to wonder why one person can be absolutely normal, and another with the same sign be completely mental. But there are connections. Take my sign for instance. My ex shares the same sign. He is a control freak and tended to be obsessive and possessive. I can see similar traits in myself. However, the obsessiveness is toned down to simple loyalty. And I can take the reins and lead if I need to, but I know when ( and prefer) to follow someone else. I like control over my own self, but not over those around me.

As for the possessiveness and jealousy, that can be a negative Taurus trait. Those of us who have been on the wrong side of it can push it aside. And of course everyone knows a Taurus can be stubborn. But I've (mostly) learned when to let go and when to dig my heels in and fight.

We are also stable, dependable, and very loving. My Ex showed a little of those qualities early in our relationship, but they faded too quickly. Perhaps it is simply a matter of learning to control your negative traits and emphasize your positive traits. I believe I have done a very good job of that. I have created a very stable environment for my children these past couple of years. More stable that it ever was when I was with their father. And anyone who knows me knows I am dependable (albeit sometimes a little late). I can take control when I need to, or pass it along to someone more qualified. I am very loyal, and know how to keep the occasional petty jealousy to myself. And I am affectionate. With the right person. :)

I am so glad to get that out finally. Sometimes it has to come out of the head to make sense, no?

That reminds me, since seeing Transporter 3 I occasionally like to spout things out in a Ukranian accent. It sounds Russian too. At least I think so. Of course I don't really do this in front of people who would think I'm nuts. I save it for those who know I'm nuts. Tis fun. :)

Spectacular, Spectacular

I am at this very moment watching Transporter 3. Jason Statham kicks ass most awesomely. But some parts are a little slow, hence the blog post. I may repeat some things from the other blog.

I have my first kid-free night coming up, June 13th. I'm ecstatic! Hold on...ass kicking in progress...

Ok, ass kicking over for a bit. At first look, Jason Statham isn't much to look at. But kicking ass with no shirt on? Damn.

Ok, back to the blog post. It's so hard to think of what to say here now! Jesus Christ! He's driving the car on the two left wheels...

Ah, life is so distracting right now. But focus! Ok, cool things lately:

I noticed last week that when I wear a skirt, my thighs no longer rub together. This is a most excellent thing. Also, I took the girls to the pool Sunday, and I wasn't self-concious at all. I'm not where I'd like to be yet, especially my tummy. But I have two kids, one almost as big as me. I'm looking pretty good. In a two piece!!! Of course I wore a two piece when I was only okay...but now I feel good in it! My tummy will take a while to get where it should be. A lot of it is simply damage from having two kids. But I've made so much progress already I don't mind waiting for more. :)

Best line from the movie so far: "Nope, I am not the gay."

And then he proved he was not the gay. ;)

Okay, enough rambling for now. I shall try my bestest to post more frequently now. Even though I am limited on what I can say. So check both blogs every so often. :)
