Tackle It Tuesday, Baby!

cathicollins — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 20:00:52 +0000

My Tackle it Tuesday will be short and sweet because I have some work ahead of me. Are you ready…here goes.

My desktop on my computer is out of control.

I would take a picture but the batteries went dead…stinkin’ digitial camera

But minimize your screen so you can see your own desktop

Now image 3/4 of that covered with bookmarked websites and blogs

I need to clean it off

So that is what I am going to do now!

What is everyone else tackling? I don’t know. Let’s go find out…

Walmart isn’t so bad.

cathicollins — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:39:37 +0000

Walmart really isn’t so bad. We live in small town Iowa, so we have a limited selection for clothing (or anything else for that matter). A couple of weeks ago I was there just running errands and my hubby calls me. He asks me, no, he demands me to come home with some new clothes for myself.

But I don’t wanna. Then I have to face the fact that I no longer have baby weight–I am just fat. Plus, Walmart is not going to have my size (yea…i know…i can’t believe I got that big too!) But they did. It was the largest size they had, but they had my size. It was kind of nice…in a Walmarty kind of way.

So in the end, I came home with a pair of jeans (no elastic….how exciting…and sexy), a couple of t-shirts, and even a sweater. It was awesome…ya know…in a Walmarty kind of way.

So I am just going to be “hanging out” in the blogosphere tonite…so if you are around tonite…e-mail me, comment on one of my blogs, twitter me (Kerith), and just say hi…maybe take a nite and cruise the blogs with me…maybe I will see ya around.

Tackle It Tuesday

cathicollins — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:10:38 +0000

This week I am tackling my planner. As some of you may know, I am trying VERY HARD to make a living at problogging and writing. So I need to write everything down in my planner if I want to have a chance at getting it done. ( I got my first “paycheck” yesterday if you want to check out that post)

Right now, I have 6 blogs, contribute to 4 (soon 5), re-doing my blogs, and all the other stuff that goes with blogging….yea…busy. So I have included a picture of my planner for yesterday and today. As you can see…Tackle It Tuesday is right on top for today to get done. So one more down…and about 15 things to go…until tomorrow of course. So what else are the ladies tackling? Go and find out!

Exercising before I even TOUCH my computer!!!

cathicollins — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 12:09:09 +0000

That is what I am going to do from now on. As soon as I get on my computer, I am in blogging mode (and it doesn’t help that I am just alittle addicted to blogging–just ask my hubby). So this morning, I took a longing glance at my computer, then did some exercising. It wasn’t much (due to the fact that I am REALLY out of shape and have a baby guunt–that is my tummy—or what used to be my tummy). It was only stretching. But I figured I should be able to move for the real exercising. But it did take me 10 minutes to do the basic stretches and I was sweating and out of breath. How sad…but I guess I have to start somewhere. But I did it. And I ate a healthy breakfast of banana, coffee, and fruit chips. YUM!

Tales From The Scales Weigh In—please don’t hate me…

cathicollins — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 05:32:54 +0000

Welcome back everyone. So I am going to make this short and sweet. I did horribly at eating right. I did so horribly in fact that I didn’t even weigh myself. And exercise…uuummm…no. But on the bright side…or the “I can’t believe it happened to me” side–my large girth put a dent in my hubby’s floor tool chest. Oh yes I did…you can laugh…it is funny…funny cause it didn’t happen to you. Yea…maybe that will be the thing that makes me actually start caring about losing some real weight. Or maybe the fact I am almost too fat for Walmart clothes. God…I can’t believe it. Too fat for Walmart! Whatever.

oh…by the way…just click on the picture to go to the Tales From The Scales and see how everyone else is doing. Or just CLICK HERE.

Tackle It Tuesday

cathicollins — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 05:20:08 +0000

With the whole family (including hubby…he gets a Christmas break from his work too…awesome I know) home for the holidays, my blogging took a back seat. I have hundreds of e-mails to trudge through, I have 6 blogs to update, I have a contest I am starting, and I still have the chaos of Christmas to clean up. So tonite I must stay up late for the blogging. Tomorrow I must clean like a mad woman cause the toys and mess and disorganization is driving me crazy…crazier than I normally am. But now that I have shared that, I must get back to my e-mails. I think I finally broke into the 200’s. And while you are catching up on your blogging, go and check out everyone else who is tackling something this week.
