A Peek into the Mind of GeminiJedi

After brunch with Brigitte yesterday we decided to hit the mall.  We really didn’t do that much shopping, but in order to keep the boys quiet we stopped in to the GNC (with Brigitte hiding behind the purse kiosk outside) to get Muscle Sandwiches.  I’ve never had a Muscle Sandwich before.  Rita LOVES them, and when we did dinner a few weeks ago it was mentioned that I needed to try this goodness.

So we get them, I bite into it and my first thought was "Nutty Bar on Steroids!"  It was heavenly.  It was nearly orgasmic.  The only way that could have been better is if I had a glass of milk to wash it down.

Check out the one Controlled Labs put together!  It’s full of hott bodyspace ladies, and all proceeds go to the Jayden DeLuca Foundation for pediatric cardiac disease research.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and is planning on a SAFE Christmas and New Years.

Tonight I shared in the celebration with new IFBB Pro Body Builder Rita Rae.  She and I work out at the same gym (sometimes at the same time lol) and I’m extremely thankful to have met her!  We had dinner with a TON of people.  It was a ton of fun.  Rita looks amazing, and I think the coolest thing about her is her humility.  She’s so down to earth and still in amazement that she’s now a pro!  It’s really cool.  And, of course, here’s pictures
