Health

I have missed blogging so but working two jobs is kicking my butt. Anyhoo today's topic is health, mainly my health.

So I decided since I got my promotion at work I would join the gym--my check is nice enough that I can afford at gym membership. Along with said gym membership I also got a personal trainer. I will be meeting with him twice a month and other times my uncle will be my trainer (he is a gym nut). This is a step in the right direction. Even though I am skinny I am not fit. I had my first personal training session yesterday and I was so stiff afterwards. I was happy that I wasn't sore but I still hate the stiff feeling. I am sore today but that is only because I had to feel my car up with boxes for my job. (My job is taking over my car--I couldn't see out of my windows.) My first check in with the trainer was great. I am in the Excellent category for my body fat so my goal is to be in the Superior category when it is all said and done.

I went to the doctor last week and almost everything came back great. No diseases, blood pressure and heart rate great. I asked the doctor to run a test on my Vitamin D levels b/c my mommy and granny have Vitamin D deficiencies. Well I get a phone call from the nurse and she informs me that I have too much Vitamin D in my system. Who would have thought that the girl who hates most dairy products would have too much Vitamin D. I guess it is all the riding around in my car for my job. My vitamins have a 200% supply of Vitamin D I think so I guess it is time to go back to the drawing board. I also have to go back to the doctor for a follow up procedure. Hopefully all is well and I can tell you all great news. I am not worried b/c God takes care of me no matter what--good or bad.

Oh me, Oh my!

Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers!

It appears that I have lost my brand spanking new digital camera that my dad bought me for Christmas :-( Actually there should be tears. I am hoping that I left it at my friend's house but I really think I have seen it since I left her house on Monday. I can't ask her b/c she left for a cruise today. I was so excited too b/c I finally found the misplaced software to upload pictures to my computer.

I have nothing else b/c right now I am slightly devastated about the camera :-(

Randomness

So I am not happy with my job but I am going to stick it out b/c it is temporary and the paycheck is nice. My boss is psychotic in my opinion. I know I need to stop diagnosing people but she really is looney. She told me that my heart isn't in it. Well I actually do enjoy the job but I can't be engaging with her for fear that I will just nut up and curse her out. Can't exactly tell her that in response to her statement. I am going to do my job and keep it moving.

So for the most part all the men are gone and I am good with that. Clingy just disappeared on his own accord! I suspect he will pop back up but won't count on that happening. Country Boy took himself out of the running and doesn't even know it. He doesn't have that umph! He says he wants to go out but never attempts to make plans. I will not beg anyone to take me out. On Sunday I told him I was going out for drinks with my friend and he told me to call him when I got finished and we could then hang out. I called him and no response. He calls me Monday while I am at work and asks could we hang out later that day. I had no words. Actually I did have words--won't work. I am not going to be around to hang out when you find free time for me. Crush is just not it. I still have a crush on him but he won't make time for me so I must keep it moving. I told him on Sunday I give up!

Ok so my BFFL's b-day was last weekend. She got tore up from the floor up. It was a pretty interesting night. I enjoyed the sushi. There was almost a fight b/t the guys in our party and some guys in another party. Hot mess on fire.

Is it so important to change your relationship status on Facebook after getting married that you do it before the reception? Just so you know it is not going to keep him faithful. He is still a ho--not a wh.o.re but a ho. Especially since he was trying to get me to your house with your name on the mortgage while you were out of town. I respect you enough to say no but I can't say the same for him.

I pray that if I gain weight I never walk around thinking I look fly when in all actuality I look pregnant but there is no baby. You should never be congratulated on your pregnancy when it doesn't exist. (That has actually happened to me. I am sure those who know me are wondering WTF but it is true. The summer after my sophomore year two individuals on separate occasions asked me if I was preggers. It didn't hurt my feelings but it would probably upset me now. When I gain weight it goes straight to my tummy.)

I hate when people say something happened last month and it is only a few days into the month. Especially when the event happened less than a week before. I realize that it did happen last month but I still don't like to hear it.

I am making my su.per bo.wl gum.bo for Sunday. I am so ready to taste it b/c I haven't made/had it since 2008. Part time loved it.

Did I tell you how much I love my mommy?

I have nothing else

It has been one of those weeks. My supervisor is slightly psychotic. She goes off on you and then 5 minutes later she is sweet as candy. Scary!

The new guy is pretty nice but he doesn't have the gumption. He says he wants us to get together but refuses to set a date. I tell him I am coming to his city and he is like let's get together. That is fine but unless you give me something to do I am going to flake on you. Set a date and I will be there.

Last Saturday I took a dance class at Pol.ela.teaz. I learn how to pop my bo.oty in a hand stand. That was a workout. I was sore for a day or two. I plan on taking the class at least once a month--good workout and I can learn a few tricks ;-)

My friend who I kicked out of my circle will probably be back in. We had over an hour long conversation today. She is better now that the weddi.ng has passed.

I have a mini-me. She really isn't a mini one but I am going to turn her into a diva before it is all said and done. We went to law school together. I am her personal shopper/life coach. I can do that now that I am in a truly happy place. It is fun hanging out with her and pushing her to be the great woman she is meant to be. She has a wonderful work and volunteer life but no personal life. We have to do something about that quickly.

I now have insurance and can go to the doctor--I am so excited! I set up an appointment with my favorite doctor. She is in law school town so I will be making a drive. I love her so!

I have nothing else :-(

Life

So I have been missing in action but that is because I am working two jobs. I work job 1 during the day and job 2 at night. I was thinking I would have a couple of off nights but clearly my part time boss thinks differently. If I don't request it off I will be working. I guess it just means that I can pay some more bills. By the way job number 2 is preparing ta.xes at the block and you know what block I am talking about.

Job number 1 is crazy. My immediate supervisor is under fire from her supervisor. I got a promotion but my supervisor doesn't know. There is a whole bunch of drama going on. Hopefully it will end once I start in my promoted position. I love my new salary--it is nice to see those numbers in comparison to what I was working with. I should be able to buy my new car by April or May. I set the goal of April 1.

I met a new guy and he seems really nice. I haven't talked to him in a couple of days but I have been in one of my moods so that is not a surprise that I haven't talked to him. His nickname is Country Boy. Clingy is Clingy. Nothing has changed. It is about time for me to cut him off. I am still crushing on Crush. We are both busy so nothing is happening there. Part-time is still part-time. I need to let it go but he serves a purpose and I enjoy the time we spend together.

Speaking of men I was having a conversation with a friend that made me realize I need to find a hobby. The only time I deal with the lames (Clingy, etc.) is when I am bored. What will be my hobby?

I can't think of much else going on in my life but I will be back--and yeah you did get two posts in one day ;-)

Spa Weekend Recap

So I have been gone for awhile but it is only b/c I am working two jobs. I am actually typing this while working at job #2. I thought I would give you guys a double header today and tell you about the spa weekend and then life in general. Here is the Spa Weekend:

Spa Weekend was great! Everyone should have a weekend like that. I was the farthest away so I flew in to Virginia from Atlanta. Mama Killa picked me up from the airport. We ran some errands and caught up. We waited for everyone to show up at her place so we could head to the mountains. Everybody but one met us at Mama Killa's house. We packed the cars up and headed west. We had the wrong directions so we ended up driving up a one lane mountain road :-( We saw a Skinny San.ta Cla.us and his suicidal beagle (he picked the dog up and the dog jumped into the road in front of my friend's car--tragic but she didn't hit him). We made it back down the one lane road and found another way to get to the resort. We made it to our home for the weekend right before the sun went down. Our home was a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom 3 floor townhouse. We were living in mountain luxury!

We called our weekend Spa Weekend: Chocolate Snowbun.ny Edition! Two friends and I had kitchen duties for the night. We had lasagna, salad, bread and fondue--all yummy! We talked for hours. I think I finally fell asleep around 2:30 I think.

Saturday morning we got up had breakfast prepared by 3 friends. There were pancakes, eggs and a breakfast casserole. We then got ready to go on our tubing adventure. That was the best fun ever. Who knew that going down a snowy hill in an inner tube could be fun. We did this for almost two hours. We did it alone, groups of two and groups of three. I even created a video that I have not uploaded to my computer. I will eventually upload once I upload the camera software to my computer. We left the tubing and made it back to our home and ate leftovers. We then showered and prepared for the spa.

The spa was heavenly! We got there an hour early and then we relaxed in the spa lounge. I had a splitting headache but I was ok in the spa. I had a facial with the nicest lady. She gave me the best facial ever and told me about each product and exactly what it did to my face. She was so great--she even gave me a foot massage (that came in handy). I then went back to the lounge and waited for my massage. My massage was great. He rubbed a sister just right! The only issue I had was he didn't rub my feet. I almost fell asleep on him. When it was time to leave the spa gave us gift bags. In the gift bags we had bath salts and a travel candle.

After the spa we got dressed for dinner. Dinner was ok. My food was bad to the point of most of the meat stayed on my plate. My head was hurting so bad I couldn't complain. We talked and laughed and just asked random questions. After dinner we went back to the house. It was more laughing and talking but this time everybody went to sleep early. I was the second to go to bed. The headache wasn't leaving until I got sleep.

The next morning we said goodbye. We had a breakfast of muffins and another breakfast casserole. This casserole was placed in the muffin cups. It was pretty good. All the food prepared at the house was good.

We drove back down the mountain and eventually split up. I rode back to Mama Killa's house and we ate lunch and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up just in time to be early to the airport. This was definitely one of my better vacations. I really had fun seeing my college friends. I hadn't seen most of them since the reunion in January 2008. I am definitely ready for the next one.

Smooches,
Coco, Esq.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I am back I guess. I think I want to start over.

2009 was a good year and I won't complain about the bad that occurred.

Clingy is still hanging on. He is too emotional though. I am sweet and evil at the same time and he doesn't get it.

Work is going well. I actually started my side hustle of preparing taxes this week. Wish me well!

So I am going skiing next week--why I have purchased 4 pairs of boots? I think I will only take the last pair. Don't need to add anything extra to my suitcase.

I clean my room and it explodes all over again. :-(

2010 will be even better than 2009!

My dad isn't speaking to me. Oh well! I can say that with a straight face too. He isn't talking to me b/c I didn't call him and wish him a Happy New Year. Yeah you can side eye that statement just like I did. Honestly I only called one person that day and it was my mommy and I do believe I was returning her phone call.

I really like the crush. I have to cook dinner for him b/c I lost a bet. We shall see if the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I have to cook fried chicken and mac and cheese. I am still trying to figure out the vegetable. He requested the first two.

That is all I have,
Coco, Esq.

Tell 'Em How You Feel Thursdays

I can't take much more of this mess! Just use it!

I think Clingy has left me alone. I thought I would be happy but I honestly liked the attention. Oh well!

Old dude stood me up last Saturday! I haven't heard anything from him but I let it be known that he is on my isht list!

I got a cute dress and coat from Ex.press for $88 including tax which would have been $249.50 regular price. So proud of myself and my coupons!

No one wanted to see my pics :-( I guess you are all my Fa.ce.boo.k friends or you just stopped reading b/c I post sporadically.

I don't want to hear your complaining. I am getting paid hourly while you are salaried but I am doing your job. :-|

Part time hustle is driving me crazy or at least the people are. My biggest pet peeve is stating the obvious or making something much bigger than it needs to be.

So I am playing fant.asy foo.tball this year and my league is called Battle of the Se.xes. Well I was the only girl to make it to the playoffs. Let's pray I don't kicked out the first week of playoffs. My team is actually kinda pitiful. My qb takes care of my team Pey.ton Mann.ing.

So I was at training for the part time hustle and one of the guys there was talking about the Chri.s Hen.ry tragedy. Do you know this heffa said how much do you want to bet that alcohol was involved--insert the b*tch shut the f*ck up face. Yeah it was one of those moments for me. I thought the statement was pretty ignorant. It didn't make sense to me why you would jump on a moving truck but my first assumption was not alcohol was involved. I just thought he wanted to get his point across and didn't pick the best way to do so. Then I read JozenC's blog and I understand. Passion is a mother. I would try to link the blog but that never works for me on blogger.

So why was my dad stuck on buying me a leather coat? I told him I didn't want a leather coat but he insisted on finding one. My mom told him I didn't want one but he still insisted on looking. He then asked me again and finally I got through to him. All I wanted from him was a new digital camera which he said he had already purchased. I am happy! He desperately wanted me to have a pink or green leather coat.

I am almost finished with my Chris.tmas shopping. I need to purchase one gift card and I will be finished. I am thinking about buying myself a new i.P.od. I am getting a lot for Chri.stma.s from myself.

That is all!

Random Thoughts of Coco Esquire

I am ok with being selfish! I am really enjoying my life right now--my single life.

I gave blood yesterday and no bruises! The blood drive was in honor of childhood cancer.

I don't know if I told you guys but my Wi.sh Kid died November 15. It was shocking and sad. I really can't put it into words. Her biological dad showed up at the funeral. He wasn't there at all when she was sick. Her first stepdad who she considered her dad was there the whole time and her mom's husband was there. I hurt so much for her family. She is no longer in pain but they are left with this hole in their family.

Clingy is so special--not in a good way. The other day he told me that he couldn't be celibate b/c he is a man. I told him to go handle that b/c I can't help him. He thinks that I may consider a cut friend. Dude, been there, done that got a broken heart to show for it. I am good. Then he was like big girls want him but he doesn't want them. All again: ok and? He clearly wants more than I can give. I am selfish.

Crush and I went on a lunch date last week. I enjoy spending time with him.

So my pictures from my photo shoot are back and I love them. The phototgrapher did a wonderful job. If you want to see all of them send me your email and I will email the album invite to you (if I actually know you via this blog--so strange men don't try it).

I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping! My Christmas list is pretty short this year: Tiff.any's I Love You ring, digital camera, Vicky's Secr.et Pi.nk collection U.GA and Ha.mpton items.

Until next time
Smooches,
Coco, Esq.

Happy Wednesday

I don't have much but since I have time on my hands I thought I would come out and say hi!

So I have gone to dance class two weeks in a row. I love it. Last week I was the only person in class but I loved it. I did some ballet. I missed ballet so much and I needed it b/c my posture has gotten terrible. If you have posture issues go find a ballet class! Heck if you have issues with your middle section find a ballet class. Yesterday we learned the tango. Danced with a cutie my age. I love dance!

I have a photo shoot at the end of the week. I am so excited--I have been trying to take pictures for forever!

So the new guy is a little sketchy. I haven't quite determined if he will make it another week. He is clingy. I don't do clingy so this time next week there will probably be nothing else to say about him.

I have one more week of class left and then I will be done--I am so excited about that. It means that I can do what I want on Mondays and Thursdays after next week.
