...are with those affected by the earthquakes that hit Haiti today as well as those headed to the area to provide assistance. Appeals for aid are underway. I tried to find a couple of links to post here and was unable. I will update this post once I find them. See the CNN video below of Raymond Joseph, Haiti's ambassador to the United States and Wyclef Jean's uncle discussing the quake.

Weekend Blues..weight blues..just blues
Cold weather is no joke. It makes you want to hibernate and stay in bed.....ALL.DAY.LONG. I did this practically the entire weekend.
Hope all is WARM where you are....prolly not. This weekend has gone on record as being one of the coldest. Reading twitter posts let me know I was not alone. All the Tweeple from the South, who regularly see temps in the mid to low 60's this time of year, were all a chatter about the weather. At its lowest point it was in the 20's here in Houston. I ventured out at the highest point - about 46 degrees- Saturday around 3 and quickly rushed back in. Needless to say for those of us not use to this type of weather, I got little done. I tried to complain to a girlfriend who lives in Pittsburgh and she stopped me in my tracks, told me it was 11 degrees where she was and changed topics. Allrighty then. I had no comeback so I let her change topics. Hopefully this coming week will bring milder weather.
The weather has also wrecked havoc on my workout plans. I would like to at least do a drive by on the gym. It is difficult to get into a decent routine with weather like this.I suppose if I had some sort of routine before it may not have been as difficult to disrupt. Who knows. I am not claiming negativity with this situation or being whiney but I need to get it together. All I can process is 184.184.184.184. In case you are wondering what those figures represent its.... wait.....hold for it...it my weight. There I said it. WHEW! glad that's out. They say acknowledgement is the first step to recovery so..there it is. I think by far acknowledging being overweight with a BMI of 29 has been really hard. I didn't compile a new years resolutions list (translation I didnt commit to anything per se) but since my weight has pushed me to being a borderline diabetic I am more focused on getting something done. I have been given until April to "show improvement" so I need to get it going. I thought about rearranging my apartment so I could work out in front of the television. My cable company has work out videos "on-demand" so since I am paying for cable, the workout videos are there and it could be a start. We will see
I just watched the Joel Osteen on BET a little while ago. The message this week is having a good opinion of yourself, #447. Again, no resolutions but I really need to put this in check. I am my own worst critic. Here's a link to his site incase you want to check it out. I think its only up for a week so get on it.
Have a great week everyone...Bundle up

Happy New Year!!! 2010 is here...
Can you believe I am up? I definitely cannot. Its an hour into the new year and it crossed my mind to drop in on my beloved but very much neglected blog. I spent the last day of the year completing the final details for my apartment. I also went to Mass with my mom. I had plans to have a drink to ring in the new year but that did not materialize. Does that mean I didn't need it? I wonder...
I for one am glad to see 2009 go. I felt stagnant at a certain point in 09 and found myself hiding my personal wishes and desires for the needs and wants of others. This year there will be none of THAT. TRUST!
I didn't do much in the way of resolutions. I guess I kinda just made one. Not really. The above is more like a vow. Anyway, back to resolutions. Every year around the end of November I use the remaining space in my planner to come up with resolutions. My resolutions surround being a better me - losing weight, volunteering more, write more blog more, that kinda thing. For whatever reason it just didn't seem right this year. My plan is to take it one day at a TIME.
So with that I will end. Keeping it short and sweet. I wish you all the best for the new year. For those of you who diligently follow your resolutions congrats and good luck with them this year. For those of you who are on my bandwagon, let's try and keep each other motivated.
Happy New Years Errybody!
P.S. To my one and only friend that I know born on January 1st - New Year's Day- Happy Birthday DJ Aggravated!
