My New Year’s Weekend
So the new year is here… I’m so ready to kick this year off right! I’m not making resolutions, I’m making goals… and no it’s not the same thing! I have outlined some specific goals for 2007 along with deadlines that I plan on sticking to: losing 20 pounds by June; ridding my credit card debt by August; saving at least $5000 by the end of the year; and last but not least, get T&J Promotions up and running for real, for real by the start of Jazzy Summer Nights (which is the 1st Thursday in June.) Wish me luck!!!

BK has already helped me to get weight goal reached. She signed me up for this 8 week forum where I’ll be at Bally’s for 8 weeks, learning how to eat right, as well as finish out my contract at Curves and work it out on my treadmill. I got my iPod workout music together tonight. I’m ready! The hardest part for me will be the eating right… I LOVE food… greasy, fattening food… it’s great! I have to learn to say NO to the french fries and the cheese steaks and the fried chicken… although I was watching Tyra and a specialist was on there talking about having a cheat day – one a week… I think I will have me a cheat day, but more like once every OTHER week.

So… Friday was my pre-New Year’s Eve Happy Hour. That was cool. A lot of people were out of town or on their way out of town, so I didn’t get the turn out that I wanted… but it was still a decent size crowd. GTL bought me the camcorder for Christmas and I tried to use in the club, but this place was mad dark, so nothing really came out… So no pictures to share. I met LadyNay… She is the sweetest! A few months back, I said to her that I wanted some skittles, she said she had me… do you know she bought me 2 bags a skittles? I couldn’t help but laugh. I had forgotten all about it until she pulled them out… And you know how she’s all nervous about her new twisty look? She needs not to be… they are so cute! And they really fit her face! Anyways… Friday was cool. Can’t beat $1 drinks (for my friends) and FREE drinks (for me!)

Saturday… I had a headache when I woke up… that’s the consequence of messing with them rail drinks! You don’t think about it when you’re drinking them because, hey! They’re free! But you feel all that FREE shit the next day! LOL. So I basically did nothing all day Saturday… GTL did movie day. We watch Glory Road and I went to sleep as he watch Miami Vice.

Sunday… Again, a very mellow day for us. We went to church at 7:30PM, where we learned the theme for 2007 is “It’s gotta happen!” And I really believe that! I was telling GTL that not too long before we went to Church and the fact that the pastor confirmed it, makes me know that my goals for this year is gonna happen because it’s gotta!! We came home, had a FEW people over – our closest friends… We ate, drank, watched the ball drop and did a Moet toast with noise makers and then ended the night with Truth or Dare Jenga… Some how or another, we always make our own versions of games! LOL. We each wrote 3 truths and 3 dares so when you pulled the truth or dare block, you had to pick one of requests from the bowl. That game was a lot of fun! Our friends left about 2AM or 3… I really don’t remember because as with all of our games, the consequences is always a shot… so I was pretty fucking done! LMAO. When they left, it was pouring down raining and I had the bright idea of going out in the rain… yeah! That lasted all but 10 min. I need to hold onto that fantasy until the summer time! LMAO… I got my baby sick…. So now I have to play the nurse…. Again :-)

Monday… We did NOTHING all day. I was sick for the most part of the morning…. And then we just laid up and watch TV together or he played his stupid Playstation.. LOL. (He always says to me… why does it have to be stupid? Cause when you’re playing it, you’re not paying ME any attention! That’s why it’s stupid! LOL) Then we watched Omen… that movie freaked me the hell out! But it was good.

Today… I went to work…. I took down our Christmas decorations (I made that last for 2 hours) Then we had a meeting… and then, since the Federal Government is off, and they’re our main customer…. I went home… There was no need for any of us to be there, so my boss let us go… I got to read a few blogs today, but didn’t get to post… so I figured let me do it now since NCIS is a repeat.

That was my New Year’s weekend… not much going on… but I enjoyed it :-)

    It's gotta happen! I love it and may just adopt that phrase for this year!

    Lose 20 pounds where? LOL I am picking, do what you feel you need to do! I have faith that T&J productions will jump off. You can see just by reading your blog yall can throw a party large or small.

    Can't beat dollar drinks, well, unless they are free! LOL

    Hope GTL gets well soon.

    Gotta love the boss giving you time off. Must be nice.

    Those are good goals to set. I'm in the same boat as you with some them: I need to lose weight, I want to get rid of my debt totally, but realistically I need to get rid of the people who are causing it to go down (for real).

    I know for sure that T&J will be big time, y'all know how to have fun and keep the party going.

    Hope you two feel better.

    best wishes in reaching your goals for 2007!

    as for the food issue. i think once you start to wean yourself off them, a) you won't have a taste for it anymore and b) when you do them, they won't taste as good.

    i ditto what everyone else said about T&J. :-)

    Good luck with your New Year's resulutions. I know how hard it is to let go of those last few pounds. I love fried greasy food too, even thought it gives me heart burn like a mother.
