trying new things

I'm pretty upset with how the election turned out. It was also one of the worst voter turnarounds. We went though and voted. It was a lot different than I expected. The sweetie pie came with and I was filling in circles as I was chasing her around.

I have decided to try and decorate some christmas ornaments and so far so good. I think they're are going to turn out really well and I'm going to auction them on ebay. If it doesn't work out I have a bunch of neat ornaments that we could use anywayz. I just think I should put my artistic talent to use and maybe even make a little money with it. Especially around holiday season.

I'm scheduled to donate plasma on thurs. I can't donate blood because I'm from Germany so we'll see if the same rules apply for plasma. My guess would be yes but Amadon doesn't think so and he's donated before. Worth a shot. I'd be giving something good and getting a little bit of cash in return.

I worked out again today, and yesterday! I've been doing pretty good (lapsed a little around Halloween). Trying to find time and place to do it is absolutely insane. But i can't use that as an excuse. Yes, it is hard but not impossible and I can't wait to get back into shape again.I use to work out ALL the time premommy hood so I have some background but it's tough to get started again. Here is what I think of the workouts I've done so far.

Tae Bo- meh, it's good if you're in the mood and takes coordination but does deliver a good workout

Strip aerobics (yup, I tried it)- beginning was a little slow but then it got pretty fun once you started to learn the routine, you forget you're working out and your legs and butt kill the next day, and so do your arms from smacking the hubby that keeps trying to watch you

lifting weights- I actually love doing this except for squats, but I have a killer ab routine down and found that taking creatine really helps you from getting sore the next day

walking-great if it's warm out, not too into walking around the mall, not a window shopper, able to take baby with, however when it's cold it just does not work

I'm going to try pilates, yoga, and belly dancing this week. (yup, trying to keep myself challenged and interested)This is where netflix is a godsend.
