I had a presentation yesterday and I was soooo scared! SCARED I tell ya!  While I was presenting my business to another business owner I started to heat up inside.  It started in my chest and slowly moved up my neck and then my face (I turn red when I get nervous). 

Crap!  I know he could see it!  Why do I do this?  I hate it! I kept on presenting and I could hear it in my voice my nerves coming through.  I wasn’t nervous about the presentation anymore.  My nervousness was coming from the fact that this guy was watching me morf into a beet.

My doctor told me once that whenever I have to speak in front of people like this that I should take a Benadryl an hour before that time.  The histamine blocker will stop the redness and it might help calm the nerves a little too.  I guess I should have taken this advise for a change.  I don’t do it all the time but this time I did it.  UGH!  He probably thinks I’m weird or something is wrong with me.

But other than that my presentation went well and I got more business drummed up for myself!  Yay me!!  Time for a glass of wine!  (and maybe some icecream later)

Well, I am so proud! For the first time ever in my life, I opened up my computer AND I added more RAM. I feel like some computer guru now. I’m certain that my phone will be ringing at any moment with some producer somewhere wanting to offer me my own TV show.

It took me a while to figure out how to get it open, but I persevered. Once I realized I was trying to open it from the wrong side, I flipped that puppy over and everything from that point on just fell right in place. If I hadn’t had to take the time to unknot the fire hazard of tangled cords attached to it, the whole process would have been a breeze.

I know this may not seem like much to those of you who have done it before, but this is huge for me.. huge and big. In the past when this need has arisen, I always bought a new computer because I was scared to open the darn thing up. So like I said.. HUGE & BIG!

Today was the first day of my big plans for getting in shape. An online friend and I decided last week that we would do a “buddy system” kinda thing, start today and by summer.. we were going to be looking hot.. well at least presentable in a bathing suit, personally I will be happy if I can just end up being able to zip my pants without laying on the bed. We had our exercises and time to exercise mapped out, what kind of foods to eat, what kind of foods not to eat.. etc.

I failed.. miserably. I realized after my second cup of coffee that I had added sugar (whoops!) to both cups, I normally don’t eat breakfast but for some reason this morning I just had to have those Eggo Chocolate Chip pancakes of all things, and I didn’t start exercising at 10:00 am like I was supposed to.. still haven’t and more than likely won’t since I am obviously the type that will latch on to any excuse in order to avoid it… “Oops! Too late, guess I’ll have to start tomorrow.”

I even looked at my kitchen floor that just since last night needs sweeping, it looks like my kids had a food fight this morning, thinking okay.. well I can do that, it would at least be some movement and I can stretch it in the telling and make it sound very rigorous.

But did I do even that little bit? No.. I’m sitting here in my favorite chair, doing my favorite thing, sated from my pancakes, drinking my sweetened coffee and weighing the odds of how likely it would be for a bus load of convicts to show up and clean my kitchen floor like they do on the side of the interstate, since that is what it resembles.

Dieting.. exercising.. that is hard work! I’m already worn out.

How many of you dye your hair? Do you dye it…

To hide the grays
Not happy with your original color
Want something to match your mood
Want to be different

Whatever the reason, change is always good!

Valentine’s Day is coming up so time to get in the mood and introduce your partner to Betty
