Mother's Day

How was everybody's Mother's Day?

Mine was restful.. I love relaxing! 
I went to the gym in the morning for BodyFlow class.
Came home - took a little nap with 4 pawed furry boy - Maudy - then we watched (on Skype) my Mommy open the prezzies I sent to her.  I think she was happy w/her gifts - especially the owl I crocheted for her!!
For the rest of the afternoon Maudy and I watched some medical documentaries.. it was a nice day :-)

At the Gym

Joined the gym back in March.. (2013) 

24 hour Fitness

Had a personal trainer for 3 sessions - signed up for an introductory special - he made me work -- my poor sedentary body - my sad - sit at a desk all day at the computer lazy ass carcass.. good - I needed that.. but to continue on with training - $$major$$..  I might try looking into 1/2 sessions - those are more affordable.

I have to say - you can eat off of the floor in this club - it is spotless! They have extra things like RaquetBall and Basketball - also a pool with a Jacuzzi / sauna / and steam room in the immediate area.  N-I-C-E.  I love to swim -- and yes -- I take aqua classes!!  It's awesome!!  You walk in - they give you a clean towel.  They always say 'hello', sometimes you even get 'hello with your name' (to be fair.. they see your name when you use your sign in on the computer/finger scanner gadget - but it's nice nevertheless!!)  They have a juice bar and child care too.. in case you are interested to know. Tons of cardio equipment too!  The regular weights area and circuit machines.. I am happy there.  

There are ALL types of people there - for ALL different reasons.. no one seems to judge there.  I will tell you that I HAD been a member of Bally Total Fitness -- boy was that a meat market! And so congested! And at times intimidating. Love this place - things are more spread out!

A girl from work and I try to go to classes together...
We like the Aqua class ! (It's not just for old fogies!)
We also like 'BodyFlow' - this is a combo TaiChi/Yoga/Pilates
Tried straight up Pilates - woooooooah - I think that we would grade ourselves w/a D - and that is just because we tried so hard.  
We tried Spin - we will do this class now once a week with only one particular instructor. It's hard to stand up sometimes.. but it hurts the butt to sit!  Hahha! We will get used to it :-)
On Saturday - we will try the Step Class.
(We try to do something new every week - if we don't like it - we hold off for a while.. maybe we will revisit with a different instructor - or when we feel stronger)

If I go alone - I usually only just do the elliptical  for an hour.. and perhaps a swim.  On the E - you can plug your Ipod in - it will keep the charge for you and save your workout info - another neat little perk!

Everyday stuff..

Food Cravings -- Yesterday work wasn't too bad.. but hit the DD on the way home for a 2 muffins and a donut!  - I was craving a corn muffin like MAD for some reason.  America doesn't 'run' on Dunkin - they are going to get their asses FAT on Dunkin!  Hahah. (For me - self control is not a plenty).  I wished I liked coffee - then all of this would make sense -- BUT even Coffee isn't Coffee anymore - Latte, Frap, Iced, Chilled - w/chocolate w/caramel w/chips of some sort and whipped cream??  "Seriously".  I am sure it is delish..  And if you want regular coffee, folks, it still exists - but the world is trending in everything now :-) Then I went to Stop and Shop and got Peanut M&Ms - got 2 6pk snack size -- and by 2am the next morning - I had devoured them all - in between was a chicken sandwich and fries from Wendys.

Today - work isn't bad either.. debating going to the gym.  If I am not going for a class at the gym - and I go afterwork - I usually do an hour on the elliptical and that will do it -- sometimes take a swim -- I LOVE to be in the water! Weather is gloomyish today - but it's good to be inside where it's dry and warm.

Let us introduce ourselves..

Let's call me 'Zodie" - and my kitty cat's given name is "Sylvester".. but he goes by other nick-names.  The nick-name that tends to stick most consistently is Maudy and lately Mouse seems to stick too - they are used 50/50.

Maudy is a male.. he wants me to make sure that we get that out there, as I enjoy typing in pink.

Born in 2004.

He is the finest of the Tuxedo Cats in the land and he is my very good boy!

Maudy had been though a lot already his first 4 years of life - he had crystals in his bladder and needed surgery and hospitalization.  He came through that with flying colors.  Then.. his liver went a little bit wonky - so there more more visits and overnighters at the animal hospital and medicine..  I call it 'meowdicine'.  

I thank  Valley Cottage Animal Hospital  and Dr Krauter @ Hackensack Animal Hospital for their caring and most brilliant staff - for getting Maudy better.  Kitty has some lingering issues with pooping now.. so he is taking Lactulose for that as long as it helps.  I call that meowdicine "yuck-yucks" - cuz it's sticky.  Every morning and night I sing him a little song when I give it to him...  ahhh-hemm... -- "Yuck-yucks are yucky, disgusting and gross, but I give them to you cause I love you the most" -- what do you think?? - Catchy, no?

I was born in 1973 - to two of the bestest parents ever!!

I will tell you that I am a Gemini -- a true Gemini ! And just to prove it - I drew a tattoo and had it marked to  the inside of my ankle.  (This is one of my favorite tattoos!)

To be continued... 

Time for Mommy to get out of work

Mommy - have a safe ride home!  Are you stopping on the way for noms??  (Sometimes Mommy eats things that she shouldn't eat.. they make her sick - she has to be careful.)  She was supposed to go to the gym today, but my whiskers are telling me that she is not.  I will have to make sure she goes tomorrow morning.
..Ok Mommy - I am waiting for you.

_____________
I gave her snuggles and lovins.. she played games on the IPad.. this is what she does sometimes to keep her mind busy.  

Mai intuitionz waz right --I could tell that she stopped on the way home (bad move) and got some donuts. She had eaten them before she even walked in the door.

Meow.

I think that I am on nap #3 or 4..  One humans alarm went off around 3am this morning -- I though that would be a good time to sing -- so I did. - And most beautifully, I might add.  I bit the man one or twice.. because I can - I was playing (mostly).  I went to have a snack and then laid up on the bed with my Momma.  She loves my company more than anything else in the whole universe.  I have to say that I am one lucky feee-lion!  Her alarms starts going off at 6:16 - and she usually doesn't get up until after 7..  I have learned to ignore the beeping and re-beeping.. but it can become annoying at times.  Today I saw her wrapping prezzies - they were for her Mommy who lives down in Florida for Mother's Day.  She has been gone from the house for about 3 and 1/2 hours now.. but she will be back tonight and will be happy to see me.  I wonder what she does all day.. she goes to work -- I have heard of this place before, apparently many, many humans occupy their time this way.  Is it any good?? - this work thing that they do??  I know when Mom is home during the week - she likes to watch talk shows in the morning.. and it seems that she enjoys that -- so work must be even better than that!  I prefer to stay home here where it's comfy. 

... Just saw this -- I think I would like it in black though -- to match mai tuxedo !

(My Mom has a black VW CC - we like German engineering!)

New to this...

Hi !

Don't know what I am going to do with this blog yet.. but I am just trying it out -- at almost age 40, I should see what I see - and what's up with Blogging!
Certain Internet Sites I use and what I use them for.

FaceBook - to see pictures of people who I haven't seen in a while or don't see on a regular basis.

Twitter - I am not exactly sure how that goes.. I mean I have an idea - but an not Twitter savvy at this time.

Pinterest - I like to find ideas of all sorts on there!  Lots of DIY stuff - and easy recipes.

Ravelry - crochet stuff

And Blogger - let's see what happens here.
