Hokie Ding-Dong!

:o) Isn't that a funny saying? That's what my (former) boss, Rich, always says when something surprises him. I've taken it on, as part of my own quirky-wonky-dorky nature. (No offense, Rich.)

So here it is, OCTOBER FIRST!!! Can you BELIEVE it???? Sorry for those caps, to you internet-etiquette-conscious peeps - but ... SERIOUSLY. Can you believe it's stinkin October already?? This year has literally flown by...no kidding. It sprouted wings round about January 11th, and just never stopped flying.

Well, yeah. It's October 1st. And I'm officially finished with YWAM Las Vegas as a full time staff member. It's a slightly weird feeling. But a lovely feeling nonetheless. (Again, no offense, Rich. But when it's right, it's just right.)(I have no belief that Rich will ever read this...but who knows.)

I've been gaining hours at Bath and Body Works, put an app in at Starbucks, and am hoping to do okay for now with two part time jobs. BBW might move way up in hours with the onset of the holiday season (it is October already, ya know??). Nothing else has panned out (after seven interviews), but I'm still waiting to hear from two hotel positions. Do the math. That's 5 rejections. But I'm not letting that get me down!

Along with these things...I need to get moving on the whole weight issue, the premise for this here blogamathinger. For instance...I just got off BBW, and my feet hurt like all get out. (Anyone wanna venture a guess where "all get out" comes from and why? I've always wondered!) I'm tired of having hurting feet. Granted, the hard as wood wood flooring (I'll slap my own forehead thankyouverymuch) makes it possible to have aching feet and legs no matter what body type you are, but let's face it...weighing 130 pounds more than I should sure doesn't help the ole kickers any.

So what are my options? Hmmm. I want to get a membership to the Las Vegas Athletic Club. "Ladies Join Free!" is being advertised again, and although it's not as great as the $19 a month it was a few weeks ago...it's not bad! 24-Hour Fitness's rate is outrageous and I can only go to one gym. I think with LVAC I'll be able to go to any of em. WhoooHooo! Or should I say...HOKIE DIN-DONG!

So yes, my pets, it is time to start looking towards the days of sweat and sore muscles...two of my most favorite things in the world. Seriously. No - seriously. YES! I do like that feeling! I admit it! And admitting is the first step to healing, isn't that what they say? Whatever. It's time to look into a gym membership.

Tomorrow. When my feet don't hurt so bad. :o)

Night night!
