Who am I Kidding!

Well folks, its been fun, short and a bit crazy. But now is the time I say Good Bye!
This Bloggin stuff is not for me; "no its me, not you". I am just not dedicated enough to put it all down in writing.

I also think, (period) I think, and think and think and if my hands could type fast enough and I had enough time to keep up with this you all would be well into, at least, Chapter 30 of this novel I call my life. My brain is too fast and half the time I don't think the world would be the least bit interested in those thoughts.

For me its the little things that make me smile and get me through the tough times; I started Bloggin to alleviate the stress of studying for the Florida Bar, and to connect with others similarly situated - and it helped a lot!

Now, as my life grows and gets more hectic, bloggin is being pushed aside. If anyone has the least bit of interest in running and pushing your body to the limits, check out Tri-Daddy's blog!

Tri daddy has great motivational musings, and entertaining blogs. I wish I had his talent and dedication to blog; but unlike my brother the Tri-daddy, I must bid all a fond farewell!!

BEST WISHES TO ALL IN EVERY ENDEAVOR!

I'm OUT!

Pains of the Over Achievers

First I must apologize for not blogging more often. After those months studying and waiting for the Bar results I just stopped doing it. Probably because I've focused on different things. So I'm here at work, yes....it is 7am and no, no one else is here. Its one of the mere pains of being an over achiever.

As far as I can tell, its a family trait. My brother has the same affliction. We get something in our sights and go all out, above and beyond what anyone in their right mind would do, just to satisfy our own "goal".

Its strange as we don't do it to impress anyone, or "wow" the world, we just set our own standards way too high. And the standards aren't something that is tangible, or something explainable; like making a million before 45 or being the partner of the year.... my brother at least has a finish line.

After having two children to raise, a new job, a fairly new house, my bro goes on to compete in triathalons and iron-man competitions. Me I just go head over heels into work. Don't get me wrong, if I had some extra time (just moved into a new house), I'd be working out or running or something physical; but for now it all about decorating and painting, working and learning all the things they didn't teach you in Law School.....beware fellow New Attorneys.....THERE IS A LOT!!

I'm willing to bet before long Dr. Phil will have some type of disease with these symptoms. Maybe its just obssessive compulsive, but it doesn't even get that crazy......who know's what it is, all I know is that I've been here at work, everyday from 7am to at least 5:30-6pm ...and for what...."just to get it done".

So my absence from blogging is more like a controlled test. Can I not get submersed in Blogging....can I just not go all out on one thing??? We will see, but I am back to blogging and will keep all up to date on my new afflictions!

Best wishes to all still waiting!....I'm not even saying the dreaded cliches!

The Real Test

I am sensing that the real test to a marriage is moving! The whole process really tests a realtionship. I'm finding my husband and I don't "move" the same way...and me being somewhat of a control freak, like my way!

So he thinks we box it all up, throw it in the new garage and sort it out there; Me, I think we go through all the junk we have while packing it and toss it out before we move...thus the less junk we have the less we need to move, why take all your junk with you to the new place, only to throw it out there???? This makes no sense.

But I have to hand it to him, before I knew it half the house is in boxes sitting in the living room waiting to be loaded into the truck. Which is great!!! However I question the motivation....is it the fact he wants to help his lovely wife, OR is it guilt, knowing that this weekend, 3 days before we move, he's going to the Gator game in Alabama!!!

Either way, He's got us packed! WHHOOO - HOOO!!!

As for the work-out, the move and the packing is substituting for now!!

Seeya after the move!!!

Oh Boy!

Well, after packing boxes upon boxes and aching all day yesterday I decided that a stretching routine maybe in order to start this whole procedure of getting back into shape!

This week is starting out to be horrible!!! Very stressful with a bunch of crises at work regarding the permits and interpretation of agency rules! UGH! I think they make it up as they go along! Anyway, its crunch time so stress is up, work is frantic and every important document once held under "lock and key" has since disappeared amongst the two moves and several hurricanes!

There isn't (right now anyway) enough time in the day to get my short-list done even coming in at 7 and leaving at 6:30!!! So trying to squeeze in a short work-out at lunch is out of the question!

I love it though, the work that is, its very research based and at all times its as though you are prepping for trial, covering all your flanks and anticipating the other side's next move! Which is difficult when you're dealing with those that make up their own rules to the game! But its good!

Now off to face another day....hopefully today will be good.....Hubby and I made it through a whole year of marriage!! WHOOOHOOO! And for all those wondering....NO, life didn't change after the wedding! We are still the same people we were before, living our own lives, just together! Its Great!

UGH!

UGH, well this work-out stuff isn't starting out well.....actually its not starting at all! Yesterday started out as a trip to get boxes for the move, then some lunch, then the Gator game, then dinner with the in-laws!!!

So, not an ouce of fat was lost yesterday! Today, again with the moving chores!

I'm planning on getting up early, like at the butt crack of dawn, to get to the gym before work! We'll see how that goes.

I'd get up early and run, but the roads around my place are a bit secluded so when I start out, all those horror movies come to mind and my miles turn into a block before I turn and high-tail it home!

The new place is more of a neighborhood, so I anticipate a return to my love of running. There's something to be said about getting out there early in the morning, dew all over, and the fresh smell of grass and sweet flowers. The birds are just starting to tweet and everyone is still wiping the sleepy dust out of their eyes.

Its a pleasant calm as the sun rises and it gets light, noises start to get louder and people start to emerge.

All you hear is you. Its invigorating!

Ta Da!

OK...so what is next?? I spent a great deal of time studying and now I'm done...so what's next?

I'm in the process of buying a home so I expect some decorating to come about, but what about the exercise??

After the grouling hours of studying, and eating while I was studying, the ole bod just aint what it used to be!

I used to be pretty intense at the gym, so I may check that out...but as others may attest, once you lose your favorite gym, the rest just aren't the same! Its tough to get into the groove!

I'm on the look out for some activities...my brother is a tri-athlete so I may hit the road and start running again, but its tough getting back into it!

Any hints or words of advice are welcome!

Til Later!!
