Good Evening!!!
I am beyond pissed that my entry went POOOF!!! 
A bunch of BS if you ask me!!!! LOL !!! I am back from the darkside and guess what??? They serve the finest Tequilla out there(Patron) LOL!!!! Actually I have been back for a while, I just had to wait it out til my mom got tired...Man it is nice to sit in silence, she loves her Judge Judy, Mathis, Maury, Apprentice, DWTS, Greys Anat, this list goes on, and on...LOL
My visit with my BFF went great, i am sad that I couldn't spend more time with them, but I will be back in Aug, so I am already excited!!! Woohoo.. Okay on my way to Wrigleyville yesterday, I had all intentions of taking photos for you , that was until I boarded the "Preachy Train"
SOme of you pointed out my knack for meeting people, well this includes the Nutburgers with Cheese as well.... Let me tell you it never fails, every time I get on the" EL" I suffer the misfortune of boarding the car where all the LOONS are..There was a younger guy who was trying a little too hard to" spread the word" Which hey I find nothing wrong with that unless you are forcing it down my throat by screaming it at the top of your lungs and he was quite judgemental as well( I have a huge problem with that BTW) ..
Needless to say lunch at my favorite watering hole was just what I needed after the hellish EL ride.. We had quite a few drinks lots of laughs and Awesome grub!!! John spoke of training their dog Ditka(yes after Mike D Da Coach) to be a drug sniffing assassin!!! I was more than curious to see this and I had quite the hearty laugh to see this...They let the dog outside while Johh hid pill bottles throughout the house and I'll be darn, as soon as the let him back in, and asked him to find the drugs, he retrived EVERY hidden bottle!!! LOL What a hoot!!!
While the 3 of them went to a Cubs game, later that evening, I decided to go to the bar I have worked at since I was 14....My former partner in crime happened to be bartending and that is where the Patron debachery began
( updated my shameful booze intake from yesterday) I am not going to beat myself up about this but I cant wait to get a nice sweaty calorie burning session with some major Afterburn Effect!!! True sign that you have been over served? Carrying on a conversation with a dog!! LOL
Well girls, I am going to attempt catching up with some of you!!! 
B- 2 glasses of Pinot Grigio
L- 1 slice spinach and tomato pizza
D- 1 slice of spinach and tomato

Good Morning??? Afternoon??? LOL? I just completed my Fire45 class and I am feeling great!! My mom had an appointment at her salon so perfect time to get a good workout under my belt...The last few days have been quite relaxing but now I must get out and about to stroll the city a bit and take some pics of all the beautiful trees and other sites for you(Cute Boys
) LOL!!! The weather is Perfect...I am so happy to not sweat profusely!!!! I was correct in assuming that I would be bored to tears by Wendnesday so my visit with my friends will be just what I need to get some of this bundled up energy out....I will probably stay the night at my BFF's so I just wanted to check in with you lovelies to say hello and give you all the dirt as it happens... I am sure I will have LOTS of stories to tell you tomorrow, I am sure Michelle is just as excited to hang out a bit, all she has spoke of during her entire pregnancy was TEQUILLA 
OLE!!!! LOL Wish me luck!!!! Oh I posted my encounter on the plane on yesterday's post, Extra Extra read all about it....LOL Love ya girls
Once again please forgive me for not responding to all...I promise to play catchup soon

Good Afternoon ladies!!!! Sorry my entries are a bit of a drive by but it is tough to get everything in and still keep everyone happy
LOL !!! My dad has allowed me a bit of time everyday to get a good Turbo session in...I got my Fire 55 in me and now my day is complete!! Woohoo!!! The rents went to the recycling drop off and shopping so I have a few minutes to say hello and I miss you all!!!
My food intake is still Stellar!!! I am fortunate enough that my folks are some of the healthiest eaters around...Mom eliminated beef, pork, fried foods, starches and sweets(only on special occasions) from her household around 15 yrs ago so with the exception of the endless assorted nuts they keep around( not just my brothers), there is nothing that will sabatoge my hard work...I have been getting lots of naps in and for some reason whenever I am home I sleep SUPER late, getting up at 7 am, I feel like such a slacker....LOL
Tomorrow, I am setting the alarm for 6 so I can get a good sweaty workout in before heading to Wrigleyville to see my BFF Michelle, hubby John and their new edition Madeline who was born the same day as Mason(Sweet pea's little angel)!!!!! I am so excited to see them and I am sure I will probably spend the night up there because they are already going back and forth as to which one of them is gonna be my "wingman" this time....LOL I say all 3 of them can be...
Well my purple mustache is a fading memory and I am still trying to come up with something really good to get back at the accused(I think I know which one did it) I promise to keep ya updated....Oh snap! I almost forgot!!!! I have the privlige of working out with my brother and his trainer sometime this week...The trainer is a former trainer for the Atl Falcons(nfl team)!!!!! I am beyond stoked!!! I heard this guy is a MONSTER!!! All jacked up no neck!!! LOl My brother encourages me to get super friendly with this guy in hopes that he falls for the V charm and perhaps get a few free sessions in there LOL!!! On that note, my folks are pulling in the driveway..... I promise to give you the goods tonight on the Airplane Dude, stay tuned!!!!

Ladies without further ado V productions proudly presents.Airplane(on the wings of lust)
Curtains open...
I take you to the 2nd leg of my journey where I sleepily anxiously had to sit for 2 hours in Atlanta's for my plane to depart( layover) ...
As the boarding zones were being called I noticed a very tearful very frightened girl 8ish? Pleading with her parents she did not want ot go on this flight ( I immediately think of that twilight zone episode with William Shatner BTW,,"there is someThing on the wing" LOL )
Anyhoo I was in the last bording zone, 1st row behind buisness class....I was so pre occupied at the sight of the little one's face pleading with her loved ones that i didn't even notice my seatmate, I did utter a grunt/hello to my seatmate...I immediately pull out my stacks of crossword puzzles( I put a pretty good dent in while I was waiting at both airports) and proceeded to do Tueday's from last week(St.Pete Times has 3 puzzles every day). I guess I was midway through the last puzzle when I took notice that we were indeed still at the Gate in ATL and the doors still were NOT closed.... A few minutes later, here comes the teary girl sobbing very loudly as she makes her way to her seat ALONE
Now I have a few things to say about these LOSER parents of hers for forcing her first flight EVER to be a solo one...I am sure this will scar her for LIFE I have lots more to say about them but I will refrain, time is of essence...
I asked the flight attendant how was she holding up back there and if she needed me to I would go back there and sit with her...BTW Don't they usually put unaccompanied kids in the 1st row???? ANYONE??? I def didn't think it appropriate to put this little girl next to a man...
At this point I guess some other woman had the same thoughts, because she traded seats with the guy to help soothe this poor girl.... The flight attendant came back with the good news and also thanks with offers of free cocktails for such a great gesture....
As I looked down to resume my puzzle I hear " Man was awfully nice of you to offer up a hand to a stranger, I am impressed"... He further adds " You know what I am really impressed about is the fact that you completed almost crossword puzzles in less than 10 minutes." It was at this point I actualy looked at him and DAYUM!!! LOL....His Tats were all blazing, he had a stunner smile, and my what nice lips he had....
Yup I made out with him, right there......JUST KIDDING, I just wanted to see if you were paying attention... Okay where was I??? Oh he had really nice shoes on, pretty decent chunk of pricy accesories, not the average run of the mill guy, he is a bit of a Fashionista....Anyways he kept joking around about me just putting words in the squares just because they fit...LOL I finally handed over the puzzles to him and says" What do you know about puzzles anyways, Pretty BOY" LOL
Now unless you are the biggest narccisist this is not cool to be called this if you are a guy so I was so happy that he didn't get bent out of shape because he knew i was just joking...He says to me "Well no wonder you flew through them, you are doing Tuesday's, it is always super easy earlier in ther week" LOL Already I like the fact that we can poke fun at each other and I especially appreciate anyone who could make me laugh right out the gate...
Our conversation was mainly of words, the love of words,and of course arts was thrown into the ring...I told him all about the Dali Museum and that is when he mentioned that he lived in ATL and he always wanted to go to an exhibit.... By the end of the conversation we had covered everything and then some that usually happens on the first date...I really didn't want the flight to end... As we were getting off the plane he says to me, " I know you dont think you are getting away without giving me your number, come on" (he grabs my hand) We walk to baggage claim, we exchange numbers and a peck on the cheek... As I stand outside waiting for my bro to pick me up, I realize, I didnt catch his name(he told me but I was too busy/distracted ) A D D much and also "hot lips much " Meowsers!!!
End Scene Cut!!!
I have chatted with him a few times, hopefully he will meet up with us tomorrow so stay tuned...You never know this one might last more than a week!!! LOL
Love ya girls, Good night
And its great that you have so many positive influences around you~sure makes things easier when you have that kind of support..and the temptations aren't available!

Good morning lovelies!!! Sorry I didn't get back to you, once I finally closed my eyes, I crashed BIG TIME..I am sporting a brand new purple mustache, that one of my jackass bro's decided to adorn me with
real mature guys, how old are we again??? LOL The stache is a bit Daliescque that curls upwards and although I am getting a hearty chuckle right now, the boys better hope this thing washes off and YES this is the start of a week of "War Games"
Well it is off to do some Turbo while my heathen brothers are at work!!!!! It is great to be home

Hey just a quick driveby between shifts of siblings that pop in....Mom, Dad and Nana were indeed truly surprised when I walked through the doorWoohoo!! LOL I can't do that one again, it left my mom a little shaken (she was silent for 15 minutes or so)
I did meet a really HOTT guy on my flight from ATL to Chi and hopefully I can sneak away to hang out with him this week. We had quite the chat on our 1 and 1/2 hour flight and what do you know, I have to go
Someone is in the driveway...I promise to update in the morning.....
Love you girles!!! I will chat with ya in the AM...

Well always a girl with a plan, I have mapped out my evening as followed....After I have a bite and catch up with you all, I plan to nap til 2am ish and get a HIIT class in before my car service picks me up at 3:30...

Good Morning!!!!! I am offically a Turbo Prep Graduate!!!! Woohoo!!! I am sure that I will get in at least 2 more workouts before my early morning flight out on Sunday seeing as though I am a Turboholic.
I am not certain what my day will bring becasue severe thunder/lightning storms are brewing in the gulf and expected to reach the coast right around the time we usually open the bar.....I am hoping they won't need me to work inside because there are a few things I would like to accomplish before I leave... In any case i still must prepare... For those who take the weekend off, I wish you a happy healthy one, and I will chat with the rest of you a bit later, much love to ya
Hey lovelies!!

BTW there's no such thing as wrong diagnosis in my case. I have a hunchback, period. But, there are doctors for everything... for example, my endocrinologist is so skeptic about 100% natural high-in-fiber products to prevent constipation, he says the medication is cheaper and faster. But maybe I don't want to live on drugs, maybe I'd like to think that 100% natural is the correct approach, as I get in vitamins, etc. instead of chemicals.. So, my man strongly believes that this alternative doctress will help me naturally, avoiding cirurgical interventions - but in this case I'm rather sceptic. She helped MIL big time, she was booked for knee surgery and now she walks better and probably won't need surgery at all, but her case, from my point of view, is totally different, and the doctor cured her with massages, I don't believe my spine can be straightened with massages but if it can, let's give a chance. I just don't want it to be a long-term treatment... so, right now I'm open to hear alternatives, and then I have to decide, definitely.
Hope your trip is a safe one and you kick it up and down!
Good Morning all Happy Cinco de Drunko Forgive me if I am not too jazzed up about another reason for Floridians to overindulge and trust me it doesn't take much...LOL To encourge binge drinking even more, there is a tow company here giving free tows to revelers that indulged in one too many, insuring a safe ride home for car and driver...Better alternative than foolishly getting behind the wheel and killing innocent people....That concludes my public service announcement....LOl
In happier news, I completed a Fire45 and life is GOOD!!! I have a HIIT20 class to crush after my afternoon shift! Wooohoo!!! 3 more days til vacay, Double WooHOO!!! Well time to shower, and head out for my day I hope you have a wonderful Cinco de Mayo!! Talk to you later
I lost my entire entry BOOOO!!! Oh well, it happens at least once a week for me but why does it always happen when I am done and ready to post LOL
Long story short, HIIT 25, work was lucative and I am super hungry, usual menu....LOL
Time to eat and read diaries..

Yes, I can just see you telling the dog all about the idiots you met and 'What a clever little doggy you are', well, he probably understood the intention if not the words. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself. You work hard for your money and deserve to have fun:) Lub you too:)
hollybelle on 05/13/2011:
Oh-wee! Me and tequilla parted ways years ago after a Halloween fiasco! 1975 to be exact! I now take a littel trip to Bombay with my friends on occasion. Glad you had fun with Mr. Patron, though. LOL! I must have the same loon-magnet because that seems to happen to me alot, too. Now, is the dog being trained for real police work or is this just something the owner wanted to teach it to do for humor?
Umpqua on 05/13/2011:
Sounds like you're having a blast, and hopefully the Patron didn't leave you in too much pain! Glad to hear you're enjoying your vacation!!
loveray on 05/13/2011:
