A Peek into the Mind of GeminiJedi

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions/tips for cheaper hotels, awesome shows, stuff to do in Vegas?  We’re thinking of going over New Years, and DEFINITELY hitting the Cirque du Soleil "Beatles LOVE" show.  If anyone has any helpful hints I’d really appreciate it

Our server this morning at breakfast looked like a young Mark Hamill (aka Luke Skywalker)

Just saw "The Dark Knight" and it totally rocked.  That’s all I will say so that I don’t spoil it for those of you who are even bigger losers than I am and haven’t seen it yet   Just kidding.  YOU ALL TOTALLY ROCK TOO!!!

So the hair cut…..Yea….. I went in with pictures of Ava Cowan from her Onyx shoot stating that was what I wanted.  What I ended up with was not right.   About an inch too short, too many bangs (also FAR too short ), and an uneven back.  At least the way she styled it I had a bit of a hole in the back of my head.  Yeaa…. I hear prenatal vitamins make your hair grow more quickly… Pics yet to come…. Hopefully it will be grown out enough to fix before my shoot, eh?

Thanks to Laurie (bull.dogz) I think I’m going to submit pics for the CL Calendar.  It’s super exciting, though the thought of doing cardio regularly again and not munching at work (though I shouldn’t be doing that anyways) seems kind of daunting.  And it gives me motivated to stay close to shape and not get too far from shape while I attempt to reshape my shape.  SO I’ve scheduled a shoot for August 10 with the photographer I worked with in April.  Yay freebie shoots!

Wow.  I’m about ready to throw my computers and the router out the window and gleefully watch them shatter into a bazillion pieces.  Ever since we rearranged the bedroom, which resulted in deconstructing the set up, unplugging everything and redoing everything, my computers can’t connect to the internet through our network, if they can even connect to the network in the first place.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!  When I first set it up, it took me like 6 hours, but I got it.  I will mention that I’m a PC gal and the router/Adam’s computer are Macs.  Really, it shouldn’t be that difficult.  I’ve done it before!  The settings didn’t change.  There was a firmware update, but it didn’t affect anything previously…..If any one reading this is a networking guru, please feel free to shoot me a PM to help me out.  Apparently my networking goddess has taken a vacation.

Back at the gym yesterday and today.  Holy Mother of Pearl I’m sore!!  Didn’t make it halfway through the workout yesterday, mostly because of printer issues (can’t find it on the network, even from the mac mini, and didn’t move it to hardwire it to the computer to print off workout sheets the night before), and the fact that I have to be at work at 8am.  Kind of irked about that, but whatever.  My quads are thanking me in their own special way this morning.  Worked bis and tris this morning.  Got a good pump.  Pixi, I totally thought of you during my nose-crushers this morning!! LOL   I don’t seem to have lost too much strength in my week off.  That makes me really happy.  I’m struggling a bit with the bit of squish I’ve obtained.  I know that show day is the best conditioned day you have (theoretically) and that when building muscle you inevitably obtain some squish, but it’s part of that mind trip that competing gives.  As long as the squish stays to a minimum I will be good.  That will involve sticking to the meal plan and not going berserk with the treats.  And perhaps some cardio a few days a week.  I need to stick with the meals for at least 4 to 6 weeks, though, to see if it really is working or not, and not go changing it a couple weeks in because I haven’t given myself enough time to see how it and the workouts treat me.  This patience game is hard!  LOL

I don’t like fortune cookies, but I like the fortunes inside.  Today’s cookie (not like I get a daily fortune cookie, I just happened to today) was excellent.  The only way it could have been better was if it had come last week.  Anyways, today’s cookie said "Even the toughest of days have bright spots, just do your best" and on the back was the "learn chinese: Hopeful "yao xe waon."  It TOTALLY brought a smile to my face, and I think I’m going to plaster it somewhere I will see it CONSTANTLY.

OH!  Had my rhinestone consultation today for my suit LOL  It went very well, and I am very happy!   About half of the cost of my 1 piece, expandable (aka I can add more to it in the future) and going to be SUPER pretty!!  It’s all purples and some clear crystals, and it’s got diamond patterns on front and back of the bottoms, and on the top and inside of the cups to enhance my "cleavage" LOL  There will be a few little stones connecting the diamonds on the cups, and going up the straps, and going up the hips.  They won’t go all the way around until I know how the stage lighting treats me.  I guess it can have a tendency to cut girls in half visually if they’re not built for it.  We’ll find out!  OMG I can’t wait to get them!!!  2 weeks from yesterday and they will be mine

Direct quote from my hubby.  I get gift cards and discounts from VS so we’re always going in for something.  That and my growing lats are countered by shrinking chest tissue.  We all know that boobs are mainly adipose tissue unless you’re a new mother, so I knew this was going to happen as I leaned out closer to contest time, but it’s still quite upsetting to me.  *SIGH*  Oh well.  In 7 weeks they’ll come back….

Most of you have read on my husband’s blog that we’re sick.  Stupid cough and sinus issues.  I cannot wait until I graduate so I can get out of the cesspool that is the pharmacy.  SOOOO…..I’ve still been taking the CytoLean, but haven’t been training.  I’ve missed work, missed the Indiana Jones midnight premier (SUCK!!!), missed the gym, I MISS BEING WELL AGAIN!! *headdesk*  Hopefully I’ll plow through this soon and get back on my game.  Time is running out!!
