FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS RUN DRUNK!!!

Repeat after ME:

' NO COCKTAILS BEFORE TRAINING!! '

But, if life hands you lemons, get some friends together, put those lemons with a lil stoli and sugar for lemon drops and have yourself a party! ((THANKS Lodell!))

Right now life is a little bit wonky but its getting better all the time... ((Due in part to GIRLFRIENDS who engage moi in shopping therapy... INC baby and I'm looking just so damn cute in those outfits!!))

No gym today, no training today... a day at the mall with girlfriends and an evening at the movies with friends....We'll see if the Da Vinci Code can't add something to my evening...

I will NOT let this event pull me down again, too many times down that dark alley ((emphasis on dark AND alley)).

Life is too damn short to play with the wrong people... if you can't get a little bit of sand in your face while playing in the sandbox then your sensitivity level is set a bit too high... life is MESSY!

I've learned a few things though:

• Patience is key
• Tolerance IS required
• Communication is FAR too underrated and infrequently practiced among most
• Room for error is necessary among people because we do LEARN from our mistakes (how would we continue on without them??)
• Repeating a pattern is just I N S A N E...
• My life is too full to take on OTHER PEOPLE'S BAGGAGE (and it shoulda been tossed away years ago)
• M i s e r y really does love company and I won't ever let anyone else pull me down
• Expectations are simply the quickest way to DISAPPOINTMENT

Always remember:

L I F E IS G O O D!!

LAID OUT!!

Its official: I finally laid M.T. OUT!!! ((I'm taking the credit here no matter WHAT he says!!))

We trained today (what a NOVEL idea... who'da thought two trainers would think to TRAIN on any given day... and TOGETHER!?? Who came up with THAT idea M.T.??? Hmmmmm....) and it was M.T.'s bright idea to run sprints in the MIDDLE of the day... on HOT tarmac, under the 80+ something degree blazing ATL sun!!

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET LOVEY!

Who's the last CHICK standing??

WHOO HOOO!!! (ok, the gloating is gonna send me to hell, I know but its FUN!)

Needless to say, there WILL be a next time and I'm quite sure it will entail images of blogs past where I'm just about blowing chow on my Nikes...

In the meantime, all's fair between training partners!

I've been a bit 'BUSY' in da S-U-N!

Ok, so as PROMISED, here I am! I'm sure that EVERYONE (that would be all 3 of you who visit my blog, thank you btw!) has been wondering about the previously mentioned cruise to the 'eastern' Caribbean... the experience was A M A Z I N G!

A 7-DAY CARIBBEAN CRUISE!!

((Its crazy, I KNOW!))

I had a great time on this excursion...no, I did not get spastic (unless you count the last nite of debauchery where I woke up the next day and tried to disembark while DRUNK from the nite before)!! But now, I'm hitting it hard and I can assure you that M.T is ON MY ASS about it!

Just wanted to check in and assure you all that I'm baaaaaaaaack and I'm ON IT!!

Here's some pix for you until the 'official' ones can be taken:

((I'm gonna need some time for recovery here!))
