to things like doing a weekly feature on the blog. Inevitably SOMETHING pops up and I just can't get things done!
I promised Pookins he could play his Wii tonight (he's been grounded from it for a looooong time) because he has had a REALLY good week at school and excellent basketball/taekwondo practices this week.
Since I am letting him play Wii (on the humongous screen of course) I cannot watch my DVR of "The View" to see what Whoopi "what the helled?" about today. Not only that, but right now the little red light is illuminated on the cable box just taunting me...something is being recorded and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS!
And, to add insult to injury...one of my MOST favorite shows has apparently been back on for at least one episode, probably more with my luck! BIG LOVE has returned and I've MISSED IT!!! I just can't keep up with everything...if I set the DVR for everything I want to watch it gets full and can't remember everything so it stops recording. By the time these people (you know, the ones that call me mom) go to bed and I get the house the way I want it...I'm beat and just wanna watch TV. BUT, being the new gung-ho fitness gal that I am, I must force myself into the garage to torture...I mean better myself.
At any rate, I gotta figure out a new routine because what we have goin' on just isn't workin' for me. I've thought of waking up early to workout first thing in the morning, but DANG I just wanna sleep! If you have any suggestions I am open to them, just click the little pencil thingy down there and suggest to your hearts content.
Oh, and keep all your stuff crossed for us...Pookins has a casting call tomorrow :)

First installment of "what the HELL?!" Wednesday
So, I have two "what the HELL?!" things to bring to your attention.
The first is the story making headlines here in Hawai'i about an elderly woman who was left at an ER by the long-term care facility where she resided because the bill had not been paid. You can read about it here. "What the HELL" was this lady thinking? She just STOPPED paying the bill? No phone call to try and make arrangements or give someone a heads up? We are talking about her MOTHER for goodness sake! Maybe more information will be available in the coming week, but for now this is on the top of my list!
And number two.."What the HELL" is wrong with the BRITA filter that I bought and/or my faucet?! I CANNOT for the life of me get the stoopid things connected to each other. Really, it doesn't look that hard in the instruction book and I've tried EVERY combination of washers/adapters/threading that I can think of to no avail. Seriously I want to throw it at a wall and be done, but I won't. Hopefully so totally awesome, great, thoughtful friend will comeoverhereanddoitforme!!!!! Or else it's going back to the NEX and I'll try the PUR one instead!
Little tangent here, but I fell off the resolution wagon. I could totally not reveal this on my blog and none of you would be the wiser (well, most of you!) but I just can't. I didn't realize I had a staff meeting today after work. Which means that I didn't prepare accordingly for my children OR myself. The answer for them was McDonald's but what about me? I folded, I crumbled, I am ashamed. I had a salad from McDonald's and I am embarassed. But, ya know...that salad could have come from Chili's, Ruby Tuesday's or any other sit-down restaurant and been WORSE for me than the McDonald's version. So, I hope you can forgive me and I still vow to not eat fast food in 2009...I mean it wasn't a BIG MAC, right?! My McSalad with 1 ounce of Newmans Caesar dressing cost me 315 calories, 14 carbs and 15g of fat. BUT, it also gave me 31g of protein!!! YAY, I have been trying to pack more protein in and that was a great addition.

New weekly feature
I think I am gonna start doin' a "what the hell Wednesday" like they do on The View. I like The View, I know alot of people hate it, but it entertains me and I DVR it so I can fast forward through all the crap that bores me to tears.
Whoopi started doin' what the hell Wednesday and it cracks me up, so I think I will totally copy her idea and have my own. BUT, the cool thing about mine is we will have reader participation. So, I'll blog about my own "what the hell?!" stuff and then in the comments you can leave any "what the hells?!" that you have come across! Sound like fun? Good, I thought so too!
