Not of money, but plenty of membership cards.  I’m not sure why I keep them all in there.  I have a card for 24 hr fitness.  Sam’s Club, Library card, etc. etc.  But of course you seem to need them all the time.  For instance as soon as I take out my Sam’s Club card, I will for sure forget that I don’t have it and try to enter just to get turned away.

But I do understand why companies have/use the cards though.  They like to track customers habits and activities, of for access.  I do get it, I really do.

So for now I will just keep all my cards close by as they will probably not go away any time soon.

About 1 year ago they announced a 24 hour fitness moving in by my work with an opening date of Fall ‘08.  Yeah I know pretty broad.  So when they finally announced a date (April ‘09).  So I was pretty excited as I decided once it opens 2-3 times per week on my lunch break I will go work out.  I feel if I can get into a routine then it should work out pretty good.

I’m not sure what I will completely do.  They do not have racquetball (bummer) but have basketball, lol – you don’t want to see me play.  I will probably do some cardio and maybe swim some laps..  If I can get into a routine and stay healthy then there will never be a need for diet pills.  Now some people swear by them and if it works for them great!!!

So next Monday or Tuesday will be the start to hopefully a new weekly work out routine and I can start losing weight and feeling great!

I say this because I love to buy books with the intent on reading them.  In fact last Thursday 3 more were delivered to my work.  LOL.  So this is what I bought.

Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  I heard this is a really good book.  I have heard in speak in person and watch his weekly vidcasts from his home church.  He is an awesome speaker, check him out if you have some time.

Men’s devotional NIV Bible.  I saw this some time ago in a store and loved the way it had a daily devotional before you read parts of the bible.  It should help with my reading plan.

Max Lucado: God Came Near.  This one looks pretty good and I’m a fan of his writings.

Those are the most recent 3 books I got.  But the list goes on and on.  Now I just need to set away some time and actually READ them, LOL.

I also am a huge fan of fantasy adventure and a few sci-fi books..

What are your favorites?

After 1.5 years the rest of my tooth finally broke.  Last Monday at work just a few short days ago I felt the horrible feeling of tooth and fillings coming loose.  The good news, I had a root canal done on this tooth 6-7 years ago other wise I think I would have been in some serious pain.  It broke off just above the gum line.  It left about 5% of my tooth sticking up.  I scrambled all week to find an oral surgeon and yesterday I finally found one.

So as I write this up, I have gauze in my mouth, the novocaine wearing off, and my pain pills are still at the store being processed.  Much fun I tell you.  The Doc barely gave it time to get numb before he was in there starting the procedure.  At one point I thought he was going to break my jaw.  lol.  I was done in 10 minutes.  That has to be some kind of record right?    Oh well..  I’m going to post this and go get some pain killers so this won’t be hurting so much..

Lately time is just flying by.  Sometimes you try and find it but it’s lost.

I guess it really hit me when I was at the doctor’s office yesterday and there was no clocks mounted on the wall.  I think they do that so they can stick it to you.  While sitting there I was yelled at cause I was on my cell phone, pardon me..  So I couldn’t  check the time.  Maybe it’s time for a watch.  Can’t lose track of time with that right?  I ran across these Audemars Piguet watches the other day and they are pretty sweet.  I think I can handle one of their watches.

This morning I woke up, still somewhat tired and next thing I know it’s already 4 hours later and I need to leave for soccer.  Just crazy.  Anyways, I’ve been trying to find more time to blog, do some entrecard drops and get back to posting more often.  Maybe if I can find some more time

Oh and most of us lose an hour of sleep tonight, hooray, not.  But we get more light

I hate being sick.  And it’s really not that bad.  I usually get sinus infections about 1-2 times per year and thankfully that’s usually about it.  I cannot remember the last time I had the flu.  So the last few days my throat started being really scratchy.  Not really hurting so to speak, but just there.

So yesterday morning it hit.  I knew right away what it was. ugh!!  So yesterday at lunch time I made my way to buy more over the counter items.  Started taking them and still felt blah, but last night I seemed to have a really good nights sleep and this morning when I awoke I was feeling pretty good and thought I might have shaken it off, but as the day progresses today, not so much.  I guess if nothing changes by tomorrow morning I might have to head to the docs.

I’m not really sure whats going on.  For some reason right now we seem to know about 4 people with cancer.  Pretty scary stuff.  One is five years old, one is thirteen, and 2 older people.  I’m not sure what kind of cancer they have but I’m pretty sure it’s not Mesothelioma.  Haley the five year old has been battling it now for over one year.  Right now she is day to day and there is not much more they can do.  A friend at work, her cousin just had a bone marrow transplant.  He was in pretty bad shape.  I haven’t heard of a new update but I think he is doing OK.

Cancer is pretty scary if you ask me.  I pray for our friends and others who are going through this and battling this horrible disease.
