Well, hello there. I might actually be back. I've suddendly found myself with some extra time, so I'm tossing around the idea of starting a new BFL challenge - no promises - we all know I'm no good at those :) Stay tuned!

1 minute 40 seconds...

...will the Giants win?!?

Apparently, this is the "Fuzzyelf Is Still Alive" Blog. Been real busy.
Lotta changes. Sorta lost a lot of real good friends to the call of the
big cities. And I gots me a new boyfriend. New place. New Job. New Life. Ya know, if you type "new" enuff times, it starts looking kinda funny. Yeah so, that's all for now. Perhaps I will get back to my shoes and my workin' out again soon, but for this moment, I'm just sittin' back enjoying all this clean Fresno air :)

No...

....I'm not dead. Lots of you have written to ask if I'm ok. I am. For the most part. Life just gets busy sometimes. Thanks for askin', fo sho! In shoe-related news, I went to Hollywood last weekend and got to wear my Taryn Rose pumps. Borat voice: Great success! *wink* I have also picked up my knitting again...so...yay. And I'm trying to gear up for another Body for Life Challenge - I'm getting too soft - feel free to send inspiring words! Um...I wanna leave you with a song to make your day really nice or if it's nice already,this'll be gravy: And btw...HELLO IN THERE! :)

I Can't...

...believe I've neglected ye ole blog here for so long. I've been busy getting moved and various other "whatnot". But the biggest news we've missed together, dear readers, is that 3 days ago was the 1 year mark for me NOT smoking cigarettes! Confetti, please. I'll be back in the swing here soon, I hope. But I wanted to stop and say Thank you for all the support!

Here she is....

that's right, folks, no central heat and air....look out!

MAYBE>>>>

I won't need that month after all!!!!! *Clouds parting music, please* I got my pink apartment!! Yay for me. It's a long and boring story, but the apartment I wanted and didn't think i could get is all mine. I breathe in, and I am aware of my heart. I breathe out, and I smile.

Okaaaay...

Im finding I'm too busy to get more than a very few things done SOOOOO despite losing a ton of readers the last time I did this, I'm gonna have to force myself to take a month (give or take) from dis here ye ole blog. I hope you'll come back. and thanks!!

Oh Snap!

I can't believe I've been sooo busy! The big to-do this past week was my flat tire. And the big rescue by C! (Thanks, again!!!) But I'm afraid not much exercise :( unless you count disc golf...So now the big adventure will be finding a new apartment, and I'm afraid I'll be consumed with that so keep checking in. If I don't write, fear not. I have not fallen into a well or a stinky bog. Yet.

Fresno Eyebrow Index

Full and bushy. YAY!!!!!!!

Fitness Heaven

Yes, I went camping again. And since I have agreed to do another relay half-marathon, I jogged this morning. The picture is where I got to work out. Awesome.

Kickow!

Today I am reminded of the unpleasant experience of going through a divorce. I guess it's been about 6 yrs (?) or so since "signing the papers", and I really don't think about it much. But the law offices that possess the files are doing some purging and it seems I have to jump through some hoops to get copies before they erase my file forever. Should I let them burn it? Maybe it would be like getting an annulment...like it never happened (the entire debacle)- and that would be cool. But knowing my fortunes, it would just look like I never got divorced and whoa-whoa-we-wow, that could be bad. Ranging on a scale anywhere from Seinfeld funny big-salad bad or JFK bad. I don't think i want to find out. My ex is from Bangladesh....and couldn't you just see it? - "Ma'am, it says here you got married to this here man, and sez also you ain't been divorced, so you gonna have ta suck it up and get on that there plane..." AAAAAGHGHHGAAA!!!!!! :)

I promise more shoes are coming. I have been soooo busy, I don't even have time to answer all my myspace messages! plus, I'm going camping again next weekend, so hang in there - shoes are coming!

Oh no, you di'int...

...oh yes, I did :)

Yes, it was me...

...that didn't smoke for the last 300 days - i could really use one too. grrr...anyway I thought this was a good enuff reason to break internet silence, no?

See ya next week!

I'll be away from my blog for about a week. At the tone, leave a message, and I'll call you back, love. kisses!

My New Living Room!!! Part II

Not the best picture but it shows all my new free furniture. sweet. wish i had a "before" to show...anyway...have a great day!

Shoe of the Week - Issue # 33...More Nine West!

Here's the Rosebud from Nine West. These shoes are just crazy, and I've never worn them out and about. They are hard to get on. The heels are too high (despite how they may look in this photo). And they reek of street walking. But like many things in life I had to have them, and later went.."what was I thinking?" But I'm feeling a bit randy today, so I'll give them 5 stars anyway. Did I mention there's a Nine West Outlet near here?
Happy shoe-hunting!

Continued Tales from my Paul Simon phase (or Menopause, The Prequel)

It occurs to me that it takes a special kind of individual to be able to play the drums. I made an executive decision today while driving home from errands. I said: "I am going to learn the bongos. And I will be spectacular at it." Then I let my mind drift about in the ether trying to determine the best method of procuring a "starter set" of my little drums as well as lessons of some kind, ...."if I even need lessons." And then, "Maybe there's a book...", I thought to myself, "Is bongos spelled bongos or bongoes?" I was planning bongo parties. You should have seen it. And then, then, then I got home. I thought it might be a good idea to try drumming on the table, ya know, just to see how much raw talent was lying in wait. I put on some Paul Simon (of course). I thought, "This is gonna be sooo good." Was I woefully overconfident? Oh man! Boy howdy, it was sooo not-good. I thought, "Really? You gotta be kidding me here. I mean, anybody can do this, right?" Wrong. You *have to* be able to laugh at yourself, right?

I guess...

...I'm all about the blog today. I'm back from my apartment search.
After only a couple of hours, it is clear that I need help. I don't
know that area of town well at all...but I did get a couple of good
leads...like there's this one building I'm gonna apply to - it's pink. Pepto pink. That. Would. So. Rock. There's also a 2bdrm I've made an appointment to see. Watson, the game is afoot!

Craftings of the Week

Here's my latest "peace of resistance". I call it "Knitted White Hat." It's my first pattern with cables & picked-up stitches. If anybody is interested in the pattern, drop me a note and I'll send you info for where you can get it. okay, now I'm off to hunt for a new apartment in "the tower" - wish me luck!

"...Clearly, my dear."

Yeah, so that last post was a bit dark..."and now for something completely different"...I've been looking for this video, and I finally found it. It's the perfect cure for a sad, late-night movie. Enjoy.

3 a.m.

Ok, so just file this away for later, people. If you have ever EVER had any manner of heartbreak, do not watch The Fountain. Trust me.

kids of reasons? sounds like a band to me...

My New Living Room!!!

....ain't that the truth? In my head, the title for this blog entry sounds better when you're thinking "my left foot", but that's just me. Yeah, so I got a ton of sweet, new, free IKEA furniture this weekend which is good (will post a pic later), but all in all I'm a grouchy puss...for all kids of reasons, and one is that "they" are turning off my electricity today for repairs, and so, I have to run away from home for a while. And so it goes...but I promise I'll return e mails and and answer questions when I get back! That is, if I can overcome the crushing sadness I'm feeling over the announcement that "they" are cancelling Battlestar Galactica. Weeeelllshiiiiiieee!!!

...still not sure what I was shooting for here....
