Back in the Saddle Again... Kinda

Today was officially the first day I have gotten back on my bike since the accident I had on Halloween. Lets just say my arm wasn't the only thing I scarred that day. I kinda of freaked out. I never thought I would be the least bit apprehensive about getting back on Mimi but I was. Every pothole and crack in the street looked as if disaster would be on the other end(i may have cried a little.). But with some tough love (too tough if you ask me) I made it the 3 miles to Kozy to get my tune up.

This coming form a girl who did 60 miles in 80 degree heat and 40 in a downpour on industrial streets... I felt kind of silly freaking out over 3 miles in mild weather. Hopefully i will have my confidence back sooner then later because I really enjoy riding my bike and I wanna put a ton of miles on it this summer! Wish me luck!

Trust is a complex thing. It is not automatic. It is not given lightly. It is easily dissolved. Is there ever really a method to madness? can you trust madness?

Good things about today

Well I haven't done a list in a while, so I decided to do a fun one.
Here are some good things about today:

1) fancy grilled cheese sandwiches
2) Chocolate covered Gummy bears
3) sun was out!
4) makeup looked good today
5)**secret**
6) work is almost over

Things of note....

So I am back on the sauce and by the sauce I mean Facebook... it is quite underwhelming. I kind of want to quit again as it is already making me paranoid, crazy and irritated... ( a mild exaggeration... ) I'll give it a day...

Amazing news!: Still haven't gone crawling back to facebook... full story at 9 (ish).

Scar tissue

I haven't blogged about my robot arm for a long time but I have been thinking about it. My elbow has been healing nicely and I have almost my full Range of motion back!! woot woot... the only way anyone can tell that I have been in an accident is the semi-doozie of a scar on my left elbow.

Before I got to this point in the healing process I would have freaked out if you told me I would have had a scar (a tad bit vain... in a healthy way I suppose), but now I am Glad the scar is there, it reminds me of that faithful Halloween afternoon that began the chain of events that changed my perspective about many things in my life.

My perfectly pink scar reminds that when ever I think I just simply cannot do something (like touch my face or flex my bicep or move my arm at all) that if I keep trying and push myself I can.
It reminds that I have a great guy who is willing to take care of me when I cannot take care of myself (even when I am a complete asshole).
It reminds me that my parents aren't allll bad.
It reminds me not to sweat the petty things and life and think about what really matters.

So when I look at my scar I don't feel bad about it at all I see a reminder and a lesson learned.

A small update on progress: I have not logged on buuuut I have thought about it. mostly I worry about people thinking I have blocked them... Oh well :/

Quick thought before bed: twitter might have to go. Context missing = me losing my mind... over annnnd out

The De-socialization of Miss Pierce

I, like many (many as in all 4 of you who actually read my blog) of you, have a Facebook, Myspace and/or twitter account. I often pondered stepping away and giving one or more of these sites up and just relaxing in peace. To be fair I haven't activley used myspace in well over a year or more . I have logged in every now and again out of curiosity but I have not actually done any networking per Se. Facebook on the other hand has turned in to a constant part my life. I log in on my phone at work and at home when I can and it has gotten out of control. I actually feel like I have Facebook beef with someone and this is when I stopped my self...

It is not real life ok...

While I do see this person in real life, there is no possible way she would dare say anything to me in person. No guts...

That all aside, I need to get back to real life where real action meets real consequence. It is easy to type something without thinking, but if you cannot say it or do it in real life... well all you are is a lump of flesh behind a keyboard and a mouse...
All my real friends and lovers know how to get in touch sooo I am saying farewell to facebook for a few weeks. and hello to real life. (twitter on the other hand... :) ) Now that i am making this public I am positive all my friends will keep me an honest woman.
If you wanna catch up come with me to yoga, get some coffee with me, or grab some lunch! Until then Farewell Facespace!

So Far in Feb... Yogi to be?

SO I actually started Bikram yoga this week with my boyfriend and we love it but unfortunately have spent more time buying yoga gear then working out in class...

Our first session was on Thursday and it was hot!! and I am not talking about all the half naked people in class... The room is literally 105 degrees... Water and a towel are a must and it also behooves you to wear as little clothing as your modesty and the law allow!
the class is 90 mins and takes you through a variety of poses from standing to lying down, all with varying degrees of difficulty. I have committed to a 31 day package and I am doing my second class next week (with cute new tiny shorts thankyouverymuch!) I will keep you all updated on my progress or lack thereof... and breathe!

RANT RANT RANT *one of the guys* and other girl types that piss me off...

I have pretty flexible personality... I can get along with most people I can have an hour long convo with most people on many subjects. Except for a few girl types. Not all girls.. I have plenty of gal pals but just a select few groups of girls really grind my gears.

the "I'm one of the guys" or "I don't get along with other girls girls"
SO legitimately there are girls who are one of the guys.. they chill, and can hang with the guys and talk sports/music/ comedy/farts/... those are not the girls I am talking about... I am talking about the type of girls who like to hang with the guys but all they do is talk about sex... or refer to having some kind of sexual contact with them... just so you know guys don't talk about having sex with each other unless they are gay... so if you are talking to a group of straight gentlemen about giving them hand jobs... you are Not one of the guys... you are kinda just the smut talking chick that gives them boners when you hang around.

and if you are a girl who consistently says that they cannot get along with other girls.. either you are a bitch and people can't stand your ass or you only hang around with bitches... usually its the former... so check your too good for other gals tude at the door at the door and sit down and do your nails with me and help me dye my hair!! bitch!
LOL :)

OK RANT DONE!

Yoga? me? ok....

So tomorrow begins my Yoga regimen. I at first was just going to do the hot yoga.. buuuut I decided to try a couple of different styles first. I have done it before but not since my accident Ouch my arm!!!. My doc said it was ok ... but we will see how many downward dogs I can do (pause)... Ok wish me luck!!!! I'll update you tomorrow.... eeeek

The perfect Censored Girlfriend

Ok, so most people who know me know that I am not into women's magazines... especially ones that tell you either obvious or insulting information about pleasing your man (oh really, men like blow jobs? who knew!).... This whole industry feeding off (or creating) the insecurities of women really irks me. Today while at work one of my co workers found an article of Yahoo and brought it to my attention. It was called: 10 Things You Should Never Say to Your Boyfriend. Here is the intro to the article:

You pride yourself on your open, honest relationship. But that doesn't mean you should blurt out any thought that comes to mind. Sometimes, a comment that seems perfectly harmless to you might be hurtful, awkward or just plain irritating to your boyfriend. Excelle has identified 10 such comments. Ignore us at your own risk!

Oh god forbid we ever say anything awkward or irritating.... let me get my Stepford gear together.......

This made me laugh out loud; I had to keep reading. The list ranged obvious to offensive and everything in between... I will admit that I am guilty of some of them but really don't feel that bad about it...
Below I will list some of the 10 deadly sinful comments and what I think about them... I am sure most people will agree...

1) My ex did the exact same thing!
DUH! no one wants to be compared to anyone else.... do we even have to mention this?

2)Don't burden him with someone else’s secret
Basically the author means don't tell him something that he is supposed to keep a secret ... Like telling him one your friends is pregnant.
Ok so if you can't tell your partner this kind of news who can you tell. Sharing things like this shouldn't be a burden. Especially if it is good news! share the wealth! if you can't trust your partner with a secret maybe you should be questioning your relationship...

3) "When we're married/have kids..."
Yea.. I am gonna say it again DUH! If this is a new relationship...
but if its been a few too many years later and the ball isn't rolling along.. skip the future talk and start the "shit or get off the pot" talk...

4) "I hate your mom" or any other pet relative etc no shit!!! like he is gonna pick you over the people who gave him life... DUH

there where more but most of them obvious.... thanks to articles like this I envision a million women censoring everything that they say to their partners- While I am not gonna go on announcing my bodily functions to people I would certainly rather do that then not be able to be myself around someone I love...
