Sun, 03 Feb 2008 05:23:14 +0000 http://leslieesdailebanks.com/blog/just-thinking-out-loud/61/#comment-4217 Here's a random jumble of thoughts. I was just sitting here and it occurred to me that it is already February, and while I am very excited about The Darkness' release, I just realized that time is really flying by and the first month of the year is already gone. And my new year's resolution? Well, that hasn't really...umm...fallen into place. See, I had thought to limit my resolution to just one this year so that I would have an actual chance of achieving it. Hence, I decided that my resolution for 2008 would be for me to be "consistent" with my exercising. However, I haven't really been able to do ANY exercising yet in 2008. But I have a legitimate reason...see...whathadhappened was...my mom's birthday, stepdad's birthday, and my birthday all fell in January, so...there were several family and friends gatherings, meaning there several cakes and dinner parties, all in the name of celebration of course, so I couldn't really exercise in January. I mean, what would have been the point if I was only going to eat yummy but unhealthy things many times during the month? And now, it's February, and I just attended a babyshower for a coworker in which there were several choices of yummy but not necessarily health-conscious food, icecream, pina colada drinks (virgin of course), and towards the end of the shower, they surprised me with a birthday cake as a belated birthday celebration. And with Valentine's Day coming up soon, that means dinner and desserts, so the month of February just may not work for exercising either...well, not until towards the end of the month. But then again, March is my sister's birthday month, hence another cake and dinner outing. So maybe in April, I can really get on keeping my resolution. Although...May is the birthday month for both my cousin and one of my best friends...so there will be more cakes. And June is my brother's birthday month, meaning---dinner and cake, of course. Also, there is the 4th of July bbque..... Hmm...random thought here...but...I may need to rethink the whole exercising thing altogether. I mean, I can't really work on being "consistent" if I can't even work out at all right? So, this idea of being consistent with exercising may not work as a new year's resolution. And since the new year already started, it is not really a new year's resolution if I come up with something else after the fact to replace this one--at least I don't think so. I have always thought the resolution had to be made "going into" the new year, not during the year. So, I guess, it is simply out of my hands...well...there is always next year :) Or maybe, just maybe I will get a random burst of motivation and will get to working out and then I could focus on being "consistent" and I can stop procrastinating :) Here’s a random jumble of thoughts.

Yes, I said win cause you KNOW we was on it hard when we found out you were nominated for anything. Second it is so sad to hear about those book stores. I enjoyed reading about your experiences in them. I'm glad you mentioned it and I"m going to try to seek out more of these gems in my area, so that the same thing doesn't happen. I've been taking the easy way out and just going to Barnes and Noble. I receive the Access Romance new letter and was actually shocked to see that they have an office not to far from where I live. I'm going to look into the others. Mean while I'm glaaaad you're still trying to make it do what it do. I for one will be reading your work till you get too old and senile to type (LOL), which is a loooooooong way off. Of course then I'll be like...what!? you cain't do a voice recording :) ? Anyway, have a blessed day, week, month and year . First off, I’m glad you had a blast on the 17th and I hope you have an even bigger blast when you when some of these awards we been voting on.
