Rainy days and Mondays....and my blonde ambition!

^sigh* It's after midnight, and it's Monday. Rainy days and Mondays...always get me down. :)

Start a new job this week. It's not a real job, as in what I've been doing for years, but it pays and it will keep a roof over our heads and what not...while I find the RIGHT job, paying what I'm used to making doing what I'm used to doing. I go in tomorrow to do the orientation paperwork, get put in the payroll system and complete I-9 and all of that stuff. Such fun...a new employer, a new boss. I still need a REAL job.

My sweet lovely daughter left me a really awesome note on Facebook tonight...and I didn't even have to harass her. She's been spending the last few weeks at her Dads house due to wrestling practice and her tutoring schedule. I miss her and her twin brother like crazy. Bro is coming home tomorrow and will be here till Friday am, when he'll return to school. Their Dad will pick up Friday night after work and they're headed to North Carolina for his mothers for the weekend. I am seriously in need of time with my kids, but I'm glad they're spending good quality time with their dear old Dad.

So my internet flirt fest has taken a temporary breather...which was probably good. It was getting smoking hot and someone mights gotten hurt...over the internet! lol. He's been busy working and I've been busy playing this weekend (my last weekend of freedom from work). LOL

My bestie from 1st grade did my hair last night. She took my mousy brown frumpy all one length hair, cut, highlighted and blow dried it...and turned me into a hot blonde looking 10-15 years younger than my true age. I mean to tell you...nothing does wonders for a woman like a good cut n color! Woo hoo!

And blondes definitely have more fun!...I took a nice long walk down the highway from my apartment today. I had to get out of the house and enjoy our perfect fall weather (under 70 all day, totally sunny with a nice breeze). Perfect walking weather. I got more honks and cat calls than I have in years! AMAZING. I should have done this eons ago! Don't know why I didn't.

So...now I need to get back to my exercise program and tone up to make my young looking face and hair match my middle-age-ish body. *sigh*

Why is it we start to turn to mush just after the clock hits 4-0? I have always been stick thin my whole life...could eat whatever I want and not gain an ounce. Now...all I have to do is look at food and I gain. Sort of like back 15 years ago all I had to do was sit next to Robbie and I would get knocked up. It just happens with no effort at all.

Is the weight gain the price of men-o-pause? No men, everything on pause? If that's what it is....at least I can't get pregnant. With twin almost 16 year olds, i don't think I could go back to newborn days. Except maybe as a Grammy....and whoa Nellie, I'm sure not ready for that. Not yet anyway. In ten years, perhaps. But not now.

So I'm looking forward to dear daughter the exercise freak coming home, because I'm going to have her start working me out and getting me back to my fighting weight. I think she'll be very happy about this....either that, or we'll fight like cats and dogs and that will be the end of it.

She is a mini-me...our personalties are very similar. We're intensely intense about the things that matter to us...she her wrestling, me my children, she her figure, me...once upon a time, my figure (before babies when I had time to work out six days a week). And now I am entering upon the middle ages....and I want to be a hot blonde momma for a few years before everything sags to the floor and the horns stop honkin! :))

Perhaps I'll hear from my smokin hot internet flirt fest man, Paddy O'Whacker. He's a really good guy, but a total mystery to me. He's a blast to flirt with...so stay tuned. This could be the start of......?

Well that's all for now...see I told you I'd be back. And I was!

Nite all....
