Hi, my name is Kim & I’m a dork. I am a happily married mother of a 9 yr old demon *cough cough*, er daughter. I'm usually reading on my Kindle, on the computer, or watching movies, but I'm usually reading. I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I sing badly & dance worse (only when alone or with the kid). I tend to get songs & movie quotes stuck in my head (mentally inked~get it? hee hee). I try to be a good person, wife & mother, but don’t always pull it off.
I may or may not be back over here, but omg, I love this.
Once upon a time I wanted to be a big deal. I wanted my own .com & have people love me. Now I don't give a fuck. There's no pressure & I can actually start liking writing or posting music or pics again.
And now I just have to figure out how all this shit works. Blogger went & changed it all up on me.
What, no outrage that I'm late? How dare you! That's just rude! ; )
For those of you who care, I'm sorry I'm late, but at least it's up! I just did it this morning because I've been gone all weekend & I'm just not starting this at 10:30 at night.
I hope you enjoy! I hope y'all have a great Monday!
I did not have a great week. For the most part, it wasn't too bad, just a feeling of being off. I did what I usually do & watched movies. While they entertained me, they couldn't pull me out this time. This isn't unusual for me, but it doesn't happen very often.
Friday, was when the whole week came to a head! Yup, it was the day that really sucked a big one! I was to get together w/my bff. We haven't hung out in a while, so I was jazzed! Then her sis & friend were w/her, as well, & I was bummed. (I like them both & we did have fun, so it wasn't a big deal, but I was majorly bummed at first.)
Then hubby gets all happy that I am still down in the IE as he's going to finish the work day by home so I can stay down & pick up Marissa. Ok, unexpected & it sucks cuz I wanna go home eventually, but whatever. I stayed & shopped w/bff & her sis & then grabbed some food & then headed over to my parents' house.
I pulled into the driveway, made sure that I was far enough over as not to hit Keith's car & then stopped. I had my foot on the brake & was fiddling w/something (Shit! It bothers me that I don't remember what! I wasn't even on the phone!). As you may have guessed, I ran into my parents garage door. I took my foot off the brake cuz every normal person puts the friggin car in park as soon as they stop, while in the driveway! Yeah, I didn't. I didn't even feel the car moving, so I didn't realize it was until it stopped~with a loud noise.
Long story short, my sis & I pushed the dent out, so the door still opens & closes. There are dings in the door, none on my car. I was freaked out & called my parents right away (they were on vacay) & when I didn't get an answer, I texted. I felt sick for the several hrs it took for me to hear back from them. I think everything is ok, but you never know...
Sun, Feb 7th was bad & I'm not going to record it for you so = p
Mon, Feb 8th coffee w/splenda & 2% milk hummus & carrots & wheat pita chips (for those of you following along, you know that a pita chip attacked me today & tried to slice my tongue) 32 oz water coffee w/splenda & 2% milk (i was cold! much better than cocoa...less calories) 2o jumping jacks (Lisa Samples made me move) roast, potatoes, carrots (I even put some meat back since I cut it & it turned out to be a ton!) 32 oz water
Tues, Feb 9th about 5 sips of coffee in the usual way eggs w/roast beef, mushrooms, cheese, 2 pc of whole wheat toast w/fabio (i only ate 1 1/2 pc) & a nanner did about 10 min of Hip Hop Abs stretched for 5 min 20 jumping jacks hummus w/carrots & wheat pita chips, yogurt w/cinnamon, honey & granola 32 oz of water stretched (about a min) & then ran/jogged in place & around the house for about 3 min *wheeze* 50 jumping jacks (yes, my boobs hurt between the running & this, i'd be ok if they fell off!) 32 oz of water roast beef, carrots & tiny bit of tater. 1/2 pc choc cake still drinkin water
Wed, Feb 10th coffee w/sugah & 1% (I ran out of splenda) whole wheat bagel w/lite cream cheese & a nanner hummus, carrots, & wheat pita chips 32 oz of water 1 choc chip cookie frito pie (fritos, cheese & chili), smart ones mint ice cream thingee, 1 cup of v8~needed a veggie (for anyone wondering, yes, it's completely nasty after mint ice cream.) 32 oz of water
Ok, my week was bad-ish food-wise. I didn't even finish my food journal, not cuz it was horrible, cuz I didn't feel like it. I had obviously some very good moments, but not all of them were.
I had a rough week & it affected everything I did. Yup, I put on a lb & I got a new scale. The scale is a little more detailed & a lot more mean. The #'s on the new scale are higher up. (Next week I will start doing by that one & all, ALL of my previous #s will not matter.)
For Kia: I only had soda twice this week. But sadly there were 2 days this week where I only had 32 oz of water. For Lisa: See, I didn't lie! I actually moved! Now I need to do that more than once a week!
I have a lot to work on this week! I hope that mentally I can get my head around it. This funk really messed me up (for those of you who don't know, I'll write another post about it.). I really just hope that it is done!!!
I know that last week I didn't read most of your posts. I'm sooo sorry & WILL do better this week. (I was even off of twitter for a good part of 2 days!)
For all the new sistas: Welcome!
Everyone: I'm sorry that I'm sucking this week!!!!!
Oh, if life could only be like the stupid/teen movies! Having an off day today. Not bad, just off. When I'm feeling off or down, I tend to throw on movies.
I'm kind of ashamed to say what I watched today. I'm not ashamed of the movies, most of you are used to my taste by now. I'm ashamed to say in case any of my Sistas are reading. (I watched movies instead of working out.)
Just watched Romy & Michele's High School Reunion& watching Clueless now (we'll leave it at that). You have to love the idiocy of both. They're dumb(ish), but happy! Everything works out in the end, everyone is happy!
OMG, I could quote Clueless forever, I love this movie so! & Paul Rudd...*drool*
Ok, I got distracted. I'm sure there was a point in there somewhere. Or maybe I was just having an off day & watched cheese movies that make me happy. (Ok, I watched Wimbledon & The Wedding Date~Dermot Mulroney=yumminess~, too.)
Sorry, there may have been a point when I started this, but if there was, it's gone. I distracted myself w/pretty faces. Anyway, I'm in a better mood now! ; )
Most of you know my love/hate relationship w/Playlist.com, & well the hate part finally won out. I love the simplicity of playlist.com, but I hate not being able to find some of the songs I wanted.
I may try out a few different sites, I'm not sure yet, but this week I'm using Groove Shark. It's definitely different & I'm not sure I like it yet.
I think it'd be kinda nice to have a new, cute playlist to go w/my new site. Stay tuned cuz it's coming soon!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
*Grrrr I hate when songs aren't what they're supposed to be! Took me forever to get them how I wanted it & I didn't listen first! Sorry about that! I'm aware that Blue Monday is from New Order! I didn't mean for that one to be on this list!
Ok, I'm not really mad. Here is my food Journal for the week w/a tiny bit of exercise thrown in.
Sun, Jan 31st Coffee w/1% milk & splenda Breakfast: wheat bagel w/Fabio & a nanner 24 oz of water down 24 oz of water down lunch: hummus w/carrots & most of a strawberry yogurt that m decided she didn't like. i cup v8 berry Dinner: eggs w/roast beef, mushrooms, avocado & cheese. wheat bagel w/Fabio. small cup of cream soda. 2 pc of bacon (stinkin hubby had to cook it & it had to smell so good!), icky v8 low sodium (1 cup) 1 sliver of chocolate chip danish & cup of 2% milk

Problems: I'm getting grossed out with all the chewing. Everything is getting mushy & the textures are making it hard for me to eat slow. I want to either rush through it or not eat. I don't like the mushy!
Fri, Feb 5th coffee w/splenda & 2%- 2 cups kashi go lean crunch w/2% milk 24 oz of water lean cuisine ravioli 32 oz of water crap! no fruits or veggies today! downed a cup of v8, yuck! nachos w/carne asada & sour cream (my go-to junk) & dr pepper 32 oz of water
Sat, Feb 6th coffee w/the usual 1/2 of a carne asada burrito (meat & tortilla only), 1 cup of v8 32 oz of water grabbed a turkey burger patty at my mom's (literally just grabbed it out of the fridge & ate it~it was cooked), oh & 1/2 a piece of chocolate cake Carl's Jr Grilled cheese (meat bacon, cheese~I won't do it again, I didn't like it much) & fries & root beer 16 or 17 oz of water When I run around, I have a hard time meeting my water goal. & As you can see, today was not a very good eating day!
I did fairly well most of the week w/my eating. I ate slow(Thank you, Pete Cohen), I grossed myself out & may not want to eat again~ever. I lost 1/2 a lb this week. Not great, but the scale at least didn't go up.
I didn't move as much as I had hoped, but I did a lot of running around the house, even if it was just to pee...& trust me, I did run to pee. I have a friend on Twitter that is making me get off the computer & do 20 of something, maybe I need random people to do this as well!
My goal for this week again is to get my ass moving. I feel the weight will come off easier if I move!
Ok, there's more video than I wanted &the quality is shit, but the beginning was the part I wanted.
Last week Gena from Fairytales & Puppy Dog Tails (formerly known as the Morris Bunch) paid Cali a little visit!
Kadi & I were lucky enough to be a stop on her trip! For anyone lucky enough to know Kadi, you know that where ever she goes, some sort of wackiness will ensue.
I would have had this video up sooner, but I had hoped to clean it up some. I had done just that when my computer froze & I lost my changes. Must be a sign, right?
It was so great to meet Gena! It wasn't really like meeting her, though, it was like seeing an old friend that you haven't seen in a while. If you've read Gena's blog or had the pleasure of talking to her on Twitter or somewhere, it's like you've met her already. She's the same person (which is lovely)...yep, she's a dork! A dork with the cutest tummy ever!
Thank you both for a wonderful evening out! I can't wait until Gena comes out again!
I was just reading through some of my old posts cuz I was curious to see how long I've had the ol' Mentally Inked open. While reading, I found out 3 things. 1. MI will be a year old in March (already!) 2. At the end of June, I'll have been a non-smoker for a year! (pause for applause) 3. Some of my posts aren't half bad!
In the next couple of weeks I will be moving over to Word Press. Yes, I'm making the change! I am pretty excited about that & would be already writing over there, if I were happy w/the appearance, but I am not.
I will let you all know when it happens so you can join me!
I took a little break from Music Monday last week cuz, well, I just wasn't feelin it. So now I'm back (from outer space), & you now get some fun stuff.
I have been watching the Bring It On movies, as most of you know (& are disgusted by), & so I decided to use some of the music from them & Stick It. I even used some songs from other movies I've been watching lately. Anyway, then I went 80s & 90s, which I blame on Victoria. I told her I'd put NKOTB in & I did! Some are in there cuz they're just plain fun!
My point is this: I had fun w/this one & I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, I figure there's no pleasing you, so you can suck it. Ok, that's just mean! Enjoy & don't make me be mean to you!
Have a wonderful & reminiscent Mon!
If you can name some of the other movies, you win a mental gold star!

Breakfast & lunch is bad, I know. I went to the store & missed breakfast. I just got my pyramid & don't really feel like eating eating. But I'm making up for it. Get this, I'm making dinner! Ok, pick your jaw up of the floor. Yup, I'm making a roast!

I've lost 3 lbs this week! I'm back at the weight when I started (I think...Leah?)! I think most of you know that I am on medication for my thyroid &for high blood pressure. A couple weeks ago, I was out of both for a few days-1 week & put on 5 lbs that week. Last week I was at 214.5 & was happy, but thought it was a fluke & didn't mention it.
I've come to realize how important my medicine is. Yes, I know they're important to my health or I wouldn't be on them, but they are also important to my weight. I put on over 30 lbs last year before we knew I had a thyroid problem. The year before, I trained for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer & not only did I not lose any weight, I put it on. WTF, right? Meds are important!
Anyway, while not eating perfectly, I have cleaned up my act a lot & I think it's starting to show. My goal for this week is to start exercising. Short & simple, that is my goal.
I have been eating slower thanks to Pete Cohen (I made that my goal for this last week) & I think it makes a big difference.
When everything seems to be going to shit, it's so hard to stay positive! Like for everything else lately, I'm going to blame the dreaded pms. I feel like I want to cry right now & I'm not even sure why.
Ok, maybe I having a feeling. I had a wonderful chat with a friend that I haven't spoken to in a while, & all the crap (that y'all have already read about & are over) came back to me as I was sharing.
The job loss still brings me to tears. I haven't been able to look for another job. I need to get over this crap! It's gone! Yes, it was so fucking perfect for me that it's scary, but it obviously wasn't meant to be.
My dryer has a split personality; it wants to either scorch my clothes (towels, sheets, whatever) or not dry them at all.
I don't know if you've heard or not, but my heater seems to have gotten that same split personality. It has been under 60 degrees in my house for several days now.
I seem to be having problems w/my eating. I know a lot of you don't read my food journal, & I don't blame you. It's boring & doesn't concern you.
The biggest pain to me/us lately? The wonderful rain that Cali has needed, tried to take my house out! Ok, it tried to help us get a skylight. I see that now! I wish it had given us a little more warning. It started to swell & then finally started to break away. Eric finally had to pull part of it down, so it didn't fall (wet drywall is very heavy) & shatter the glass on our shower.
Here is my new roof-light. It doesn't show me the sky, but I have a fab view of the roof!
Thanks for lettin me vent.
Let's leave this on a happy note. I don't know what he's saying, but it makes me feel good.
I know I usually do a Music Monday. I couldn't make myself do it this week. I just didn't have it in me. I've been so blah this weekend, that it didn't get done.
Sorry.
Here is a reason to be ashamed of me (It's kinda musical, right?):
Coffee, w/splenda & whole milk Breakfast: maple & brown sugar made w/whole milk Lunch: Chicken, spinach & whatever (i need to look) Lean Pocket, plain yogurt w/honey & honey granola w/nuts (mmmmmm) 24 oz Propel grape Snack: 1 pumpkin seed flat bread (cracker) w/1 slice of cheddar hot cocoa w/1% milk Dinner: LeanCuisine baked chicken, mashed tatoes, stuffing more yogurt w/honey & granola
Still workin on my 2nd 24 oz of water. I'm so very behind.
Ok, this doesn't look too bad. I didn't even eat the hamburger helper w/hubby & the kidlet (& yes, I do like it).
Tues, Jan 19th coffee w/splenda & 1% milk (i went to the store!) Breakfast: Egg, bacon, & cheese lean pocket, an icky nanner Snack: pumpkin seed flat bread cracker w/2 happy cow light cheeses (yum) hot cocoa made w/1% milk Lunch: lean pocket (same as yesterday) & salad w/avocado, blue cheese crumbles & balsamic vinaigrette dinner: steak & scalloped tatoes (I'm guessing I needed more protein cuz I had more steak) Dessert: the yogurt, granola stuff 72 oz of water (thanks to Lisa & Jennifer!)- Ok, I barely kept in the last 24 oz...We were chugging! I guess I'm not doing as good as I had planned. I understand processed foods are bad, but they are easier for people who if given a choice between something easy (ie frozen) & having to cook, I'll pop somethin in the microwave almost every time. I'm not a cooker & I ususally wait until I need to eat NOW if I'm not munching.
Wed, Jan 20th
coffee with splenda & 1% milk Breakfast: Smart Ones Canadian Bacon breakfast sammich Chugged 24 oz of water (now I hafta pee) Hot cocoa made w/1% milk Chugged another 24 oz of water (can u see my eyeballs float?) Chugged 12 oz of water Lunch: Chicken garlic something Lean Pocket (yummy), salad like yesterday & the yogurt stuff like b4, but instead of a reg bowl, I stole one of M's (from when she first started solids) Chugged other 12 oz of water so far another 8 oz, i'd guess Dinner: Frito pie (i'm blaming it on hormones or Kadi...or even Jennifer! Friggin chili!) 2 pieces of See's for dessert-you guessed it, hormones! terrible, but so worth it!
Thurs, Jan 21st
2 cups of coffee, 1 w/splends & 1% milk, 1 w/sugar & whole milk Drank 48 oz of water Lunch: Pepperoni pizza Lean Pocket Hot cocoa w/1% milk 24 oz water Dinner: Smart ones Roast Beef & Mashed Tatoes & a banana
Fri, Jan 22nd cup of coffee w/ splenda & 1% milk Breakfast : Bacon egg & cheese lean pocket hot cocoa made w/1% milk 24 oz of water 24 oz of water grilled cheddar & provolone cheese sammich & cheese & broccoli soup & salad 24 oz of water Dinner: nachos w/carne asada & sour cream & dr pepper Still workin on the water...ok, finished another 24 oz 2 pcs of See's...I had too!
Ok, I only went up to Friday because well, I forgot, I got lazy, & it went downhill from dinner on Fri. I remember bits & pieces, but I don't want to write it incomplete.
I feel like I did mostly better w/the eating...until the weekend came. I don't know what it is. I keep blaming my husband, that it's his fault that I eat crappy when he's home. I know I need to be able to do well on my own, whether around other people or not.
What do I need to do? Is it in my head? Is it my confidence (or lack there of), like I'm trying to make myself fail? Do I wanna be fat for the rest of my life, waiting for a heart attack to take me? Why am I fighting myself? Wow, I am dark today! Sorry! ; )
My goal for the week: Take everything one day at a time & try not to get too down on myself.
I declared today a snow day...HOORAY! I got to the freeway & there were a few flurries, no biggy. I drove a little ways & my car was being attacked by them! (I'm ashamed to say, I forgot my Vado this morning!)
I don't know if you remember (or were around) last winter. One fine winter's day my hubby tried to go to work & was stuck on the freeway~for 7 hrs~3 exits away. The lovely 15 freeway was shut down & he was in between exits so he couldn't turn around.
Now see, I thought about this, & I decided that there was no way in hell I was going to chance getting stuck on the very same freeway like that! He has the capability to pee in a bottle, where I, myself, do not. Not to mention that I left my friggin water bottle at home (something that rarely happens).
So far, my kidlet is lovin me. We've already had hot cocoa. She's already had popcorn & fruit roll ups (she had breakfast before we left). She's layin on the couch w/a heating pad, so she's warm & cozy (ok, & she already hurt herself). She's now shoved the heating pad up her shirt to keep warm. Yeah, we're not gonna show a pic.
a cup of coffee w/splenda & whole milk (it was all i had) breakfast: a bowl of cheerios & a banana snack: 1 pc of pumpkin seed flat bread w/ 1 slice of cheddar cheese lunch: 1 fried chicken thigh w/1 slice of cheese in a tortilla dinner: nachos w/carne asada, & sour cream, dr pepper water: still workin on it!
Ok, today was not great, but I really could have done worse! I was hungry, I could have had more chicken for lunch, but I stuck w/one piece. The nachos, I could have eaten more, until I felt sick, but I stopped. Obviously, I didn't make it to a week of no soda, but I can start again.
Sat-Jan 16th
a cup of coffee w/splenda & whole milk Breakfast/Lunch: 1 pc of fried chicken, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 2 flour tortillas Dinner: Mushroom swiss burger w/fries & iced tea, oh & a salad w/ranch Dessert: I split a sundae w/hubby
Water: Um, I drank some...
I kinda slept in, so I had breakfast & lunch together. The Mushroom swiss burger could have been worse, I wanted country fried steak. Hey, I shared the sundae!
Sunday-Jan 17th
a cup of coffee w/splenda & whole milk (I'm going shopping tomorrow) Breakfast: 1 egg over easy (minus the yolk that ended up in my hair~it's a gift, I know.) & 2 flour tortillas. oh & i little box of juicy juicy apple juice~yes, I stole my kid's juice. Lunch/Dinner: Steak w/Parmesan & shrimp, loaded mashed potatoes, mozzarella sticks & iced tea, choc mousse for dessert
I'm a little behind on my water (it's 7:18 now) & I've got 48 oz down.
As you can say, I have not have a good food day. Tomorrow is the start of a new week. I hope to do better.
Goals for the new week:
Screw moving, I need to get some exercise, even if it's just starting out slow
I need to go to the store & get me some good food
Take my meds every day
Drink my water~chug, Chug, CHUG!!!!
Since I'm going to the store for good food, I may as well eat it
I have started off poorly, but I am more aware of what I eat & feel guilty over every bad thing that goes into my mouth.
I will do better this week. I will do better this week. I will do better this week. I will do better this week.
Why oh why do I spend so much time on these??? Yes, I use songs that I have used before, if I think they fit, but these playlists still take me for-ever! Ok, I don't feel this one is complete, but I'm feeling incredibly lazy & don't wanna mess with it anymore.
I hope y'all have a wonderfully, fantastically, amazingly, great Monday (in other words, I hope y'all have the day off or if you're a SAHM, I hope your kids all nap or let you have more than 5 min of peace!)
For those of you following along at home, you know I trying to be one of the Mamavation Moms, you know to lose weight & get healthy. I didn't make it.
Yes, I'm a little sad. Yes, I'm a little disappointed. Yes, I went through a few hours of feeling like I wasn't good enough, I can't even be a fat person well enough to do this contest right. I'm not devastated, though.
It doesn't change my life that I didn't make it. I'm still me. Short & sweet: I'm gonna keep on trekkin.
I don't need to lose weight for a contest or a contest to lose weight. I need support & I have found it with the Sistahood (& of course, my wonderful friends).
Thank you for your support. I love & appreciate you all for it.
For you new people (Hi, welcome), you may not have heard about the job that was mine & then gone. It just keeps getting worse...or better, I'm not sure.
I talked to the mom at M's school today (she helped me get the in w/the company) & she overheard them talking about me. The guy hiring still wants me (woohoo!). She, herself, wants me as a secretary, she just needs to talk her boss to convince him that they need a secretary. (I don't wanna be a secretary again, but a job is a job!)
So I'm fucking jazzed that they still want me, right? Even better, I get a call this afternoon that they want me to come in some time soon to do my fingerprints so they can keep going w/my security clearance. So I call back & get voicemail & when she calls me back, it turns out she meant to call someone else.
To her credit, she is very nice & was very apologetic about the call. She says that if a job opens up that would be good for me, they'll call me. The hiring guy really liked me & thinks I'll be an asset to the company (can't remember the exact words, as I was in complete WTF mode, but that's the gist of it.).
So they like me, they really really...whatever. I'm happy & sad all at the same time.
Oh & the secretary job doesn't require clearance, so I wouldn't have a problem there.
