P90X Anyone?

2010 February 9

I was thinking that I would run the Capital City Half Marathon again.  The idea of crossing that finish line like I did last May sounded so amazing.  But I’m just not a runner.  I think I did it once and that was great, but having the same goal as last year is feeling a little boring.

So my best friend Jen came over last week and brought P90X Yoga.  I thought I was gonna kill myself.  But it was a really great workout.  Especially for my arms which are getting flabbier all the time.  So I burned the whole P90X DVD set and I’ve decided to try to get through their 13 week program to see if I can do it.

How did I do today?  Well, I could barely get through the Ab workout.  And it’s 15 minutes long.  I can definitely tell this program is going to kick my ass.  But I really want to do it.

Have you done P90X?  Were you able to stick with it?  How were your results?  I’m really interested to hear about people’s experiences with this program.  Comment below!  MOTIVATIONAL COMMENTS WELCOME!!!

Then again… a picture of Miranda Kerr is pretty motivating too.

Death of Brittany Murphy: ‘Preventable’

2010 February 4

Pneumonia and severe anemia have been named as the determining causes of Brittany Murphy’s death, last December 20th, 2009.  Had she gotten to a hospital, she could have been treated for her illnesses.  In regard to the drugs that had been found in her system, they were both prescribed to Murphy.  Instead of seeking a doctor, her self-medication pushed her body over the edge, ending her life.

Such a ‘preventable’ situation turned into such a tragedy.  Brittany Murphy will be missed by many.

Top Story: I have the best boyfriend EVER!!

I have been missin my man like a crazy woman lately.  He’s been on hiatus for the month of January traveling all over just to get away from Ohio.  He’s not a fan of our weather (crazy, right?).  So I am counting down the days until he’s home again…

It’s been difficult at times because we depend on each other so much and not having him here is a very big change in Lucy and my schedule.  So anyway… I’m sittin at work thinkin about him and how we’re getting closer to the end of the month when I get a call from the receptionist that I have a “delivery”.  Interesting…

There they are.  The most random, prettiest flowers ever.  I knew they were from him but I couldn’t help but think… “does he think today is our anniversary?  It’s not till next Friday.  And Valentine’s Day… it’s not till the 14th. “

It was such a pleasant surprise, but I just couldn’t understand why he would have sent them.  What would have triggered him to spend the money on lil ol’ me?  And then I read the card…

Best Boyfriend Ever.  :)

My New Toy… no not THAT kind of toy.

My Blackberry World Edition has been replaced!  That thing was just a piece of junk so I worked my magic with Verizon and get a brand new phone FREE!  Check out my new toy: The Blackberry Tour.

Absolutely everything about this phone is better than my BBWE.  As tech saavy and twitter-obsessed as I am, I can’t believe I’ve been living without a camera/videocam on my phone for this long.  I just can’t believe it.  I haven’t been this excited about something since I got my Kodak Zi6.  That’s big.

Twitter: Wear your obsession!

2010 January 15

We all love Twitter like we love to continue breathing each day, right?  So why not incorporate your twitter obsession into your everyday fashion?!

I just found this beautiful little “tweet charm” necklace on Trinketbot.com and I am in love!

Seriously.  How could you not want to wear this?!  Go get yours NOW so that we can all start to see our fellow tweeters out on the street!  I feel a cult forming…

Well, I got it!  As you can see, I was pretty excited last night when I checked the mail and my passport had finally come.  #25 on my NYRs is officially checked off!  Man it feels good to get things done!  I love it!

How are your new years resolutions coming?

Waking Up Amy… the webisode???

I need your help, lovers.  I’m working on my latest vlog from California but I don’t have any ideas for continuing my NYR of “vlogging regularly” after that vid is posted.  Life seems to be getting a little boring and depressing (snow everywhere, earthquakes, etc.).  So I need my lovely followers, friends and blog fans to help me spice of my Youtube page a little.

Check out my page at the question site Formspring.me.  There, you will be able to ask me a question and I will take my favorites and make a little Waking Up Amy webisode.  So get creative!  I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Cause it’s funny… ‘Pants on the Ground’

2010 January 14

For those of you who missed American Idol last night… or maybe you just want to see it again.  Here is General Larry Platt performing Pants On The Ground.

And lyrics… in case you wanted to sing along! :)

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground.
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground.
With the gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat lookin’ like a fool.
Walkin’ downtown with your pants on the ground.
Giddy-up, Hey ! Get your pants off the ground !
Lookin’ like a fool. Walkin’, Talkin’ with your pants on the ground!
Giddy-up, Hey !
Get your pants off the ground!
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground!
Gold in the mouth, hat turned sideways.
Pants hit the ground.
Call yourself a cool cat, lookin’ like a fool.
Walkin’, Talkin’ with your pants on the ground.
Boom !
Pants on the ground
Lookin’ like a foolwith your pants on the ground
Gold in your mouth , Hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat.

I support Larry because the lyrics of this song needed to be sung!  I hope this song gets famous enough for anyone to be able to call someone out on their attire by singing ‘Pants on the Ground’.

Paris Hilton… what a chick!

2010 January 12

I have posted a video featuring Paris Hilton on the Show “I Get That A Lot.”  She pretends to be a gas station attendant and not herself.  I thought this show was going to be a bit annoying, but it actually ended up showing Paris as a pretty funny, generous individual.  To which I say, “That’s Hot.”
