Thumpity, thump, thump

On the way home, I heard a "thump, thump, thump." I pulled over at the Shell Station on Jackson and Maple, to see my back rightside passenger tire completely flat, and the tire had a hole in it!

I bought those Michelin tires 2 years ago from BelleTire. I do think they told me the tires were good for 70,000 miles, and I've maybe driven on them for 40,000 miles. I am going to try and call them today to see if they can either fix it for free or replace it. A nice person helped me with putting on my spare, and luckily, it's a full-size spare, so I am good to drive around for a bit. But, my goodness. What an end to the day!

Freaking out about house showing tonight

So, I listed my house for sale last week. I have a showing TONIGHT.
I honestly was not expecting a showing so soon, and my house is not exactly "show-ready."

I am able to leave work early today so I can make it home and clean up a bit before people come.
The one area I am REALLY freaking out about is the upstairs. Only my friend Lynn saw the pic, and I won't post it for all of you (it is THAT bad), but all I can say is my roommate is a slob. I admit to being occasionally messy, but he is really, really bad. I tried to reach him (by house phone, cell, email, and even tried his mom), but couldn't. Hopefully, he isn't at home when I get there, and I can clean up a bit for him.

Ugh….I am beyond stressed!!!!!

This is why you're fat?

Is big brother watching me? Gee, I know I have some pounds to lose, but to receive messages like this (albeit spam, I know) from strangers is daunting. I mean, c'mon! Who wants to see messages like this in your e-mail inbox? I'd rather see the penis enlargement junk mail, not some random messages from strangers telling me I'm fat....geez!

Sure buddy, I will get right on that....

Last week, I received an odd (and humorous) request from Cameron:

"Mom, I want a baby brother for my birthday, or maybe just a chinchilla."

LOL….

Of course, neither is going to happen this year (or maybe at all), but I certainly hope he doesn't think I can produce a little dust-bathing furball!

Walking Day 3, and Deodorant

I love unique, great smelling deodorant. I am not one who just grabs a stick of "baby powder fresh" Secret. I like to try different scents, it's a simple thing, but for me, it's fun. Maybe I'm weird, I don't know.

For the past several months, I've been using Secret's Vanilla Chai stick deodorant...it is a very nice smell. I can't really describe it, but it's subtle. My boyfriend calls it "yummy" and I just think it smells really good.

While out at the grocery store, I went to re-stock my Vanilla Chai Secret and saw a new scent that caught my sniffer, Kuku Coco butter (I think that is what it was called). I LOVE it! It's very summery, and complements my new Spring/Summer perfume (Ralph Lauren's HOT).

Now, on to the question of the day, what are your favorite deodorant and perfume scents? Do you change these scents each season? Or, do you have tried and true favorites?

Now, on to my exercise update. Yesterday, Carrie and I walked another 2.5 miles during our lunch hour. Yay for us! It feels great to finally be exercising again. And, with today being another beautiful 70+ degree day, we are going walking again. I remembered to bring more weather appropriate workout clothes, so I won't be sweltering like I was yesterday.

Walking Day 2

My friend Carrie and I are gearing up for Day 2 of walking. Maybe we can clock 3 miles during our lunch break? Unlike yesterday, I brought my good athletic shoes and a change of clothes, so I am ready to sweat! I also brought my deodorant (so I don't stink up the office). I felt so great after yesterday's walk, and am excited to keep this up!
