It's time to be selfish--time for a little "me" time

Things have been a little stressful around here lately. I won't bore you with the details here. If you want to know, you can find the majority of my stress here. The good thing is that I have had something to look forward to during all this craziness...tomorrow night, I'm doing something just for me. And I have a blogging friend to thank for it--Debt Princess. We were talking about our mutual interest in a musical group and I lamented that I had no one to go with me. She asked me why I didn't go by myself. It was one of those, "Duh!" moments. Why didn't I go by myself? I don't need someone to go with me. I can go alone and have a good time. And you know something, when you buy a single ticket? You get good seats. Everyone else wants pairs of seats, so the singles are in the good spots ;) see, you learn something every day. Needless to say, I went online, found tickets on my day off and it seemed like it was meant to be. I've got my ticket and the show is tomorrow (squeeee!)




So tonight, I'm going to give myself a pedicure and maybe a manicure, hopefully catch an episode or two of Glee (I am still catching up!) with my hubby and pamper myself a little bit. Tomorrow is my time and I plan on making the most of it. It's about time that I do something special for myself, so I'm going to be a little bit selfish and enjoy myself. And hey, maybe I'll drop a quarter or two in the slots while I'm there, just because you never know!

More JC Chasez with Videos this time!

Eek! I can't believe I forgot to add videos to yesterday's post! D'oh! I spent all that time writing about JC's talented singing and song-writing and I didn't even include any examples of his work at all. So, I'm going to start with one of the songs from Schizophrenic, "Blowin' Me Up (with Her Love)"



Going on YouTube reminded me of all the songs that leaked from JC's second album. I hadn't listened to most of them before because I wanted to hear them the way he intended to have them heard, with all the finishing and everything, but I listened to one tonight that just blew me away. I know JC left Jive and all that, but I really wish he would still release Kate, because I think it will blow people away.

For now I will settle with catching him on America's Best Dance Crew. He's a great judge and always gives constructive feedback. Looking forward to seeing Sunday's Disco challenge (no spoilers if you've seen it already! It airs in the US on Thursday, but we don't get it up here until Sunday-wah!)

And on that note, one more video, from the *NSYNC era, "Music of My Heart". Love this song!

Wii Fit Day 9 30 Minutes, All I Want to Do is Ride My Bicycle!

Aren't you lucky? A musical post today. I tend to get songs in my head throughout the day and this song is stuck there now. Mostly because I've been doing the harder levels of the cycling on the Wii Fit Plus. Yesterday I got really frustrated trying to find all the blooming flags because I lost all sense of bearings on the Island. I was doing the advanced level with 22 flags then. Tonight I did the Island View Level and had 27 flags, but I found them all fairly easily (perhaps because no one was here telling me which way to go as there was last night). I racked up 18 minutes bike riding tonight. Wowsers!

I've been keeping up my 30 minute workouts every day for 9 days. I think that might be some kind of record for me. My weight has been all over the place according to the balance board, but I have a success story anyway. I put on a pair of pants I wasn't able to wear comfortably a few weeks ago, and they fit! Woohoo! So no matter what the weight is showing, I have lost some of my bulge which makes me happy.
