Woo weee what a week so far and it is only 1/2 over. I’ve been go go go with my new routine and well also trying to switch things up. I have been trying to get up about an hour and a half earlier than I am use to (I usually get up at 8/8:30 and am now trying to get up around 7 am, no later than 7:30) it’s never easy trying to adjust your day as such considering I am trying to but not really getting to sleep any earlier than normal :P

I feel inspired right now by well everyone on Twitter talking about working out, eating healthy and such. I sometimes get a little tired of going to the gym and eating really healthy and cooking all my own meals…. ok not tired of the gym and such cause I love the chance to burn off some steam, read my book while on the elliptical and just to be alone and clear my mind of well everything. But sometimes I just feel lazy and I can’t help but think man no one else tweets about going to the gym and cooking dinner rather than eating out :P why do I have to if no one else is :P lol that’s usually when I get a little slackish and such but meh it happens and every once in a while you do need a break or two.

So my new goal is to be up earlier so that I can have the dogs out for their morning walk and be done my daily work out before 10 am every morning. I know ambitious of me but heck I can try right.

Today was day two of getting up early and well the dogs made it hard. My alarm went at 7 and well I wanted to get up but both of them took cuddling stances on either side of my upper body using my boobs or my shoulder as a pillow. The instant I tried to move they both stared up at me with those big brown eyes saying mom come on 5 more minutes please :D :D Yah regrettable they won. So much so that I slept in till 8 :( boo lol

Oh well I still made it out the door and done my work out by 10 am lol :P I wasn’t home by ten but close enough right.

I’m trying to get into a routine in which I get up early, work out come home and can relax for about an hour with the dogs before I try to get some computer work done or hop of MFC for some afternoon chats. You know snuggle on the couch while I enjoy my cup of tea, read my book or surf the net from my lab top from the couch. That and well I am trying to keep up their puppy training cause well I kinda slacked off in the months of November and December and I will admit that they are getting a little rusty on a few things and defiantly regressing when it comes to getting along better. Don’t get me wrong they still get along but their bad habits are creeping on back in.

So my new plan is to enrol them in doggie daycare. There is one just down the street from me and well I was thinking about it before when it was just Kinzie. I think it would be good for them to go 1-2 days a week and get a chance to interact with other dogs and just have a great big old day of play time. I think it will really help Kinzie get uses to other dogs and help Eva stop being a chicken shit when it comes to meeting new furry friends.

I’m making an appointment for Friday afternoon for us Banks to head on over for an introduction and consultation before I sign them up. Coincidentally Friday is also a pamper me day :D i figured I deserved it since I have been getting up early and working out everyday right ;) I am getting my hair done in the morning (nothing major just a little trim to keep it healthy and some highlights) then I’m heading to get my paws and claws done :) yep it’s going to be nice. Then I am treating myself to a massage with my massage therapist on Saturday. It’s been a long time coming and well my back has been bugging me a little so I figured it was a good time to get in there. Yep it’s going to be nice :) Needless to say I am looking forward to the end of this week :P

XOXOXO Katie

Domino

This song really makes me want to get up and dance…. you know bust a move as it were :P I just love the lyrics they seem to wiggle and worm their way in until you find yourself humming this sweet little tune all day long. I must say though that this video was a little interesting. While I will admit it was an interesting concept it makes my brain mad as it tries to focus on more than just her eyes that are in focus and can’t. Mix that with the crazy movie back grounds and funky outfits and my senses went on overload mix up and it made m go bahhhhh!!!! lol I still LOVE this song but the video it takes a bit to grow on me.

Dont’ take my word for it though check it out for yourself :P

I’m just keeping it real on this fine rainy Sunday :P yep I know I might have lost it :P

Guess who turns a big bright 6 years old today? can’t guess? well it’s Kinzie :) :) yayayaya lol I was having fun playing around on the computer this morning and I made this cute little pic. What do you think? I think it’s an excellent still of her royal highness princess Kinzie :P SO what does Kiznie do on her birthday well so far I took her for a nice long walk, I brushed her teeth, cut her nails and gave her a bath lol I also gave her a great big old treat this morning and later tonight I will be taking her to the pet store where she can pick out a new toy :) I know I know I spoil her but I only do it one day a year so why the hell not.

Other than that it’s a normal day here over at the Bank’s residence. Eva, Kiznie and I have been hanging out since I got back from the gym and have had a rather lazy mid day. It’s been really nice :P

Alas I have some mailing to get together and take to the post office before it closes tonight so I better get a move on :P

See you all on MFC in a few hours :)

Ever get that feeling like there is just not enough hour sin a day? I hate that feeling!! It’s the feeling that your to do list in never ending and filled with things that not only involve doing but learning and researching :P I love to learn and I love to challenge myself to learn new things and branch out but sometimes I feel like i shoot myself in the foot every once in a while :P I guess that’s kind of normal though considering I’m not the only one that I know that does that to themselves.

Here I am trying to do the best that I can do at everything and well sometimes I feel like I’m only doing the 80% needed to squeak by and it annoys the shit out of me :P lol

I guess what happened is that well I set all these goals for this year. Things I wanted to learn, things I wanted to get better at and things that I want to accomplish. They are all great things and exciting things that really would be great such as joining a dance class, signing up for guitar lessons, learn more about my computer and how to do the various tasks that I want it to do, try a new work out routine, etc etc the only thing I did wrong is I think I tried to start all of them all at once starting January 1st lol :P silly silly Katie your only one person now!!

So as of first thing this morning I gave my head a shake and set realistic time lines for these goals. I set out I want to be in a dance class by summer, signed up for guitar lessons by spring, etc hopefully this will help me focus on one or two things at a time rather than everything :P

Yes so far so good I already am feeling a little less overwhelmed :P

I also started a few awesome new auctions for everyone to check out by clicking here I think it’s time that more than a few items find themselves a new loving home rather than a drawer in my closet don’t you :P Here’s a few pics of what’s up there for sale just to help ;)

Oh and by the way if you are looking for a good movie to check out sometime this week you should check out this one. “Bitch Slap’ it’s kinda like kill bill meets hot chicks in tight outfits lol :P it was good, surprisingly. I love the twist at the end I never saw that one coming.

Anyways check it out but be open minded, it’s a good watch and a good laugh. Oh and be prepared to see more than a few familiar faces lol :P
