You Betcha’….I’m Bloggin’ Today…..Feel the BURN….

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Oooohhhhhhh….
I see how you are.
Didn’t think I’d show up today after my “vow of THE blogging” yesterday.

Well….let me see. I’m looking at the clock and there are still 80 minutes left in this day.
So I will get this post in before the deadline.

Now…granted…it may not be jaw dropping or awe inspiring – but I’m here. I’m here for YOU.
Yes YOU, silly.
MY blog reader.

I’m thrilled you read what I write. What is the point of blogging if you have no readers? I guess it could be just good typing practice? But wow – who needs that much practice? And really, I can’t type. Honestly – I can’t. I’m “hunt and peck girl”.

So….besides honing my non-typing skills – I blog for YOU.

So lets talk about this whole new year in front of us.
That’s a good topic.

Those resolutions….those goals….

What have you done this first six days of this brand new year?
Lost 20 pounds?
Umm….no, I haven’t yet either. BUT – I have eaten ALL the Christmas cookies – so there is nothing now
to divert me from losing weight. So, yes…..I did accomplish something. These cookies were kinda old too….pretty crunchy, kinda stale….so it was a huge sacrifice on my part.

How about exercise?
Joined a gym? Ran a mile? Walked the dog?
I did walk back and forth to the bathroom a lot because all those cookies kinda gave me the poopies. So….it’s all calories in and calories out. That’s what they tell me. Eating old, stale cookies is like eating air….because they all come right back out. I promise.

And I’m listening to Justin Timberlake’s,  ‘SexyBack’ right now on my iPod – and it makes me “feel” skinny – so I am truly accomplishing a lot in the physical fitness department.

Sing with me…..feel skinny too!

Take me to the chorus…
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Did you get organized?
Did you hang up your coat at least? Or even put your shoes somewhere out of the way?
Yeah….me either. My desk is pretty messy right now – but normally, I am a very organized person.
Ask my kids and husband. I’m kind of freakish in that department – so I won’t worry about that.

Saving money??
OH yes….I’m doing that. Mainly because….well….I have a coin jar in my office. I save money every day with it right here in front of me. I even took a picture of it to prove it to you.

My Money Jar

My Money Jar

See…..I save money every day. And…well….I even threw some ones on there just for this picture. That’s how committed to saving I am. Granted…the ones are from my teenage son’s wallet….but he left it laying here.

So wow…..I think that really covers some major achievements for the year so far.

We make a good team. I’m so glad you’re here.

This is going to be a fun year for us.

Now….lets get back to feeling skinny…
I might even wiggle in my seat a little bit to the music and use up even more calories! Feel the BURN!

Take me to the chorus…
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Blogging….blah blah blah…..

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Content Theft HelpYa know…
I thought blogging would be easy…
I really did.

Lord knows I have diarrhea of the mouth….so how hard could it be to just write down my daily thoughts, vents….ponderings….home based business musings??

It’s hard.
Like a mental hemorrhoidal flare up on the information super highway saddle of life….a bumpy, pot hole filled journey that knocks the living sense out of all those tiny Mitochondria things that help power the cells in your body. The butt of my brain is chaffed.

Or better yet…
Hard like fruitcake….

Yes…THAT hard.

I feel like everything I write has to be moving….pivotal…..cathartic….and plain ole worthy of my reader’s time. But I am sorry….some days….I am just stuck.

I feel like a presidential speech writer locked in a windowless room with only 30 minutes to write a speech that rivals the Gettysburg Address.

OH of course….I KNOW it’s not really like that. It just “feels” that way.

I find the most fun about blogging is reading the comments. It’s amazing that people actually read what you say and then take the time to post their thoughts. Good and bad.

If comments are too mean though….all you have to do is delete that comment. It’s like it never existed….POOF! Boy, do I wish I could do that with some of the things I’ve said in my life…AND some of the things said about me.

Or better yet – how about a delete button for cellulite? Now that would be worth celebrating over with a box of Twinkies! I could write about that every day…
A cellulite free world and delicious mini golden pound cakes with cream filling….

My next mission…..world peace. Twinkies for all mankind! How can anyone stay mad if they are eating a Twinkie?

I think I’m hungry.

Anyway….
Today I’ve given myself a very lovely pep talk. I said, “Kelly….Kelly…Kelly…..you love to write….you love to connect with people. (And you can delete mean people…..the power rush!!) Kelly…dear… You have so much stellar wisdom to offer. You’ve got a mug of coffee on your desk…..the fog outside is starting to lift. Now….let the fog in your mind lift as well. Feel the blog…..be the blog…..”

Yes…my inner voice is a mix of Yoda, my Mother and a relaxation tape.

So….I am ready…
Ready to re-commit to my blog. I vow to write EVERY day! Something thought provoking….and stimulating…I’ll make it over 500 words…..YES – 500 amazing words.
Each word caressed with love and care.

OK…..that sounds like a lot – so maybe every other day? That way I can sharpen my mind with a day of rest inbetween each dazzling, anticipated post. You know I was told, in the book….’7 Habits of Highly Successful People’ – you have to take a break to “sharpen your axe” every now and then.

That makes sense to me!

I MUST keep my axe sharp.

Or better yet….
Super sharp.

How about I post twice a week??
That gives me time to work on my other websites…..do laundry…go to the bank and grocery store….take the dog to the vet….take the kids to school and pick them up – and get them to girl scouts, boy scouts, soccer practice and ballet classes. I could also have time to clean the house and get those toilet bowls sparkling….maybe a pie in the oven…plan and cook nutritious meals, work in my flower garden to keep it looking nice, catch American Idol, read the book I’ve been trying to get through for 2 years….and…

OH screw it….

MY mental axe is heavy….and sharpening it would just be another item on my Mommy-Domestic Goddess-Home Business Woman chore list.

I promise to…
I will…
I hope to….

I’ll do my best…..my very best to post at least once a week…..
You moms that work at home need no explanation.

Now….how about more coffee?!!
No, no…..even better…..coffee AND a Twinkie.
