Delirity

Two mornings this week I heard the same song on the same radio station around the same time. I want to know the name of it (I think it’d be great for cardio), but when I look at the stations website it appears to be missing! So, I’m enlisting your help, just in case you know what it is…

The song is some kind of reggae type song (kind of like Shaggy except I can’t understand the words so I can’t even do a lyric search!), but the chorus is something like Kid Rock’s Bawitdaba (you know “ba with the ba the dang da dang diggy”). Any ideas?

Once upon a time many many years ago I used to love watching Val Kilmer movies. Remember this guy?

Well now he’s looking like this…

Val, why couldn’t you have aged better? You had such potential to be a hot older guy… Sad times.

Please see my new post, with other, better looking pictures of Val Kilmer. He’s still a great guy (and a nice looking one).

Jenni, it’s all your fault. I went out shopping for a dress for the wedding rehearsal. I found one (on sale in fact!) but I also found 2 pairs of shoes. Granted, the shoes were on sale too. But then today I went back to my newest store where clothes are fitting me well (Ann Taylor Loft) and bought a pair of gauchos and a few tops. The pants weren’t on sale, but fortunately the tops were. Still, after my little spending spree I’ve spent $225 in the past 2 days (though, I got so much! a dress, 3 tops, 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of pants). I think I’d better put myself on shopping restriction now before I spend money that needs to be spent on other things =)

By the way, while I’m happy that the nice clothes at Ann Taylor Loft are fitting me well these days, they have such total vanity sizing there! I’m wearing a 6 in bottoms and a 4 in tops! At JCrew I can put on 8′s (they just take a little sitting before they’re comfy)… that seems much more correct to me! I mean, if I’m a 4/6, what size are those people who are so much smaller than I am?!

I’m feeling kind of guilty for not posting more. I post every day at my fitness blog, but that’s because I’m focusing so much of my energy on my health these days. I’ll try to post more here, the problem is that there isn’t tons more going on!

Tuesday night I’ll be heading down to San Diego until Sunday evening. Jenni and Dave are getting married Saturday! I’m really excited for the wedding, seeing friends, and getting a chance to see my family. It’s going to be incredibly busy I think, but it’ll be a very nice break.

I’ve been working really hard on getting my diet sorted out and it’s working… I’ve got tons of energy! That’s what happens when you eat the right combination of foods, yay! With all my extra energy I’m filling up my “free” time in the evenings. So, what have I been up to?

• Belly dancing (in a few weeks I’ll be done with the beginning class and be starting the intermediate class – it’ll be a veil class! – but I’ll also still get to take the beginning class! instead of 1.5 hours it’ll be 3!)
• Reading (usually when I get into other activities in the evenings my reading goes downhill, but I’m keeping it up! I just finished The Queen’s Fool and now I’m onto Bel Canto)
• Catching up on 24 (Jesse and I are finally up to season 5! Now if we can just finish that before season 6 starts…)
• Hitting the gym after work sometimes (This is new for me… I went swimming yesterday and I’m going to try to go to yoga tonight. The bummer is that I miss out on some Jesse time, but the thing is, he’s usually studying anyway…)

I like doing things in the evening after work. It makes me feel like I’ve done more with my day and that makes me happy. Otherwise, it’s like I go home and 4-5 hours totally disappear!

What do you like to do with your free time during the week?
