Today was the day for all idiot drivers to be out. Let’s see first we had the guy run the red light that had been red for at least 10 seconds almost hitting a Mom and her mini van and then going on his way. Then we had the crazy Grandma who evidently decided I wanted in her lane and kept speeding up and cutting into my lane then back again. Then we had the dude who was in the turn lane, I’m in the lane going straight, the dude decides he’s going to go straight and is driving alongside of me.

I literally wish I had been Dirty Harry today and whipped out my Magnum on them. I was just relieved my child wasn’t with me because then Dirty Harry would’ve come out for sure. Are people oblivious? Clueless, think the rules of the road do not apply to them??? I’ve not had a car payment in 5 glorious years and believe me if someone hit me because of their stupidity well you’d see me on Headline news. Crazed Woman in Ohio pulls 220lb man out of his car and whips his ass for him.

Speaking of Headline News we made the news locally for our local idiot who drives around on a motorized bar stool and wrecked it then proceeds to tell the cops "Yes I had 15 beers I don’t think I’m drunk" Of course he wants a jury of his peers and will get off, if my past experience with serving on jury’s and DUI cases are any indicator. He’ll get the dumb ass who served with me who said on one of the trials. " I don’t think he was drunk just because he drove thru barricades and almost hit some fair folks who were setting up for the carnival, he was just lost"

Uh hello, they have huge signs STREET CLOSED SETTING UP FOR FAIR, DETOUR with a big ass arrow. Hello the dude peed basically right then and there and refused a breath test, yes he was drunk and after we sat there for 10 hours and listening to dumb ass and the other dumb ass refuse to vote him guilty, causing us to be a hung jury the judge informed us this was his 5th arrest for DUI.

I use to pray to get on a jury figuring I’d get the case like my friend, who served on a jury for a judgement against an insurance company or my husband who had to deal with a federal case, no I get the ‘HECK NO HE WASN’T DRUNK HE JUST HAD 20 BEERS" kind of cases.

Anyhow I did cardio today: 30min HIIT on my rbike.

Its a nice 57 degrees here, so we’ll be practicing baseball after school today, my son is getting so much better at it. He’s in 1st grade and its his 1st year playing pitching machine.

Trying to decide if I"m going to suck it up and rent Twilight, I’ve not liked the books yet  several friends do so I’ve read them( and was bored out of my mind).

I was doing my best Michael Myers imitation today. I swear if you were walking down a dark alley and heard my breathing today, you’d jump around to make sure the famous Halloween killer wasn’t behind you. Huuuuhhhh, hEEEE. Add some creepy theme music and I’m set to play his voice in the next Halloween movie.

Why the weird breathing? One nostril is all the way open and breathing now, but the other is got that Michael Myers breathing in a mask quality going on. But hey I can breathe ok out of one after 2 weeks of breathing out of neither.

Today I worked chest/tris and did a mini ss cardio to test the hacking out my lung issue and its tons better today!

So last Friday while watching my son do karate somehow we got in a discussion about the Twilight books series. Apparently I’m a freak, according to some Moms there, because I think Stephanie Myers can’t write, her characters bore me to tears.

I love, love, love vampire books, movies etc and was so disappointed with the whole Twilight Series. Now I know its not because I’m not a teen judging by some of these Moms reactions. I have that effect on other Moms it seems. Couple weeks ago we went to a classmate of my son’s Birthday party and some Moms were aghast that s dance school had a teacher with a nose ring and tattoos. I asked "Does she know all the moves necessary to teach your child how to dance" Uhh, yes but she’s not a good role model with her body piercings and tattoos. WTF???

This same Mother told me I was not Girl enough to understand. Uh hello??? Last time I checked I have everthing that classifies me as a woman. This from a woman who never has a hair out of place, always has makeup and looked at me aghast when I said she try lifting weights instead of just cardio. She’s very petite, maybe 5′2" and does pilates and exercise dvds. I tried to explain that No she would not look manly from lifting weights but evidently she thinks I look manly?

Believe it or not I do clean up nice and have been known to cause a few stares in a good way I said. Some Moms were looking at her like she was being a B**ch and I agree though  I just had to laugh at her reaction to me, I’ll have to make a point of wearing tank tops and shorts next month when I go to pick my son up at school to show just how unmanly I look.

Uh no, the paperwork for this damn test said no eating or drinking. "did you have anything to drink?" Uh hello did you not listen to what I said? No eating or drinking.

"please drink this, it might taste slightly unpleasant" Uh ok…gag….cough… slightly? "here drink this, it might make you want to burp" as opposed to the other stuff that made me want to puke?? "good, good" Now I just need you to drink these 2 containers of stuff.(think chalk ground up and water added) and I’d like you to drink these(both 16oz) in the next 10minutes.

And that is how my test went today. As I’ve been going thru these tests to figure out my anemia, I’ve changed what I ask God from "please let me be ok" to "Hi God, its me again, if you could just let them finally give me an answer for my iron issues I’d be thrilled" Figure he heard enough from me 4 1/2 years ago going thru my cancer treatment begging with him.

So as I layed there for my tests of course my cold says "hi, I’m still here" and I hack out my lung so to speak, one of the people there ask "Do you have a cold?" Lets see the violent hacking cough, uh there’s your sign.

Got my cardio in 30min HIIT on my rbike

As much as I loathe the idea because to be brutally honest I go out of my way to not go to the doctor when I’m sick, because I’ve basically have had enough with doctors visits these last 4 1/2 years, I’m think that if I’m not breathing out of my nose my Thursday its back to the doctor.

I also went for a blood test today checking for Celiac I believe, so the week prior bread, and pasta which I avoid were in my diet, apparently by avoiding it if I do have Celiac no antibodies will really show.

I was going to have a snack of carrots and peanut butter but uh after reading Shannon’s blog from a couple days ago I think it will be celery and pb.

One unhappy 1st grader headed back to school today. He only has a 4 day school week then he’s off for Good Friday, little stinker.

So I ended up taking computer and working out time off last week for 2 reasons: 1) I caught a cold from Hell. 2) Spend time outdoors with the kiddo.

Mainly it was the cold which by the way is still here, 2 antibiotics later. I wish I could blame some butt hole who came and worked out and coughed and hacked over the gym equipment and didn’t wipe it down, but alas I am the only butt hole who works out in my basement.

Today I did a weight workout, and man was I pretty, panting out of my mouth like a dog while sucking up the snot that was trying to escape my nose, but hey I got it done and the only one who saw me looking this way was my dog and I’ve seen her covered in skunk spray before so she can not judge. ROFL

Nothing major, easing back into, tommorow I get poked and prodded some more to see why I’m anemic. You’d think being anemic a little scrape wouldn’t bleed like gushing water but alas the one on my middle finger(yes the hello finger) bled at the worse time while I was getting laundry out of the dryer so I get to wash 4 things all over again.

Anyhow: 5min stretching

On schedule tommorow is some type of cardio, I thinking running is out until I stop hacking out my lung, I’m getting tired of scraping it up and sticking it back inside me.
