Guilt

I am always so hard on myself (mentally) when I skip workouts. I have been SO busy at work that I have not worked out since Sunday. Yikes! I have been staying late at work and I think the stress alone is exhausting. I cannot describe the amount of tension present in the committee meetings. Since session is almost over, all the legislators are trying to get their bills passed through one chamber so that the bill will also get through the other chamber before next Thursday, when session ends. Lots of type "A" personalities do NOT mix well together in tense, political situations. (I'm talking about the legislators, not me.) All that to say, I've been listening to a lot of Enya and Sarah McLachlan.... ghah!

Sidenote #1: It's storming like crazy outside - Captain Jack must be getting soaked because I didn't check the weather before work. I need to buy a nicer dog house for him.... Poor Captain Jack - he hates getting wet :(

Sidenote #2: Finally, I can fit all my hair (except my bangs & those don't really count since they're bangs) in a ponytail - thank you vitamins!

Sidenote #3: I ordered too much food when my parents came to stay with us last Friday - and if you know me, I did NOT want to waste anything, so I finally finished the rest of leftoever take out last night - it was still good, I preserved it well.

Sidenote #4: I DVR'd American Idol and watched all the contestants except Kris Allen because everyone asks "OMG, did you see Kris Allen last night?" Then I say NO and roll my eyes like I don't care. Really, I am so over him. Soooo over him (I'm rolling my eyes right now...)
