Twitter ROCKS!

I don't know if you have heard of twitter or not, but let me introduce you!


Twitter is a site that constantly updates you on what your friends and family are doing. It's a page of updates from your loved ones that you can access from the web, your phone (via text messaging) or IM.


You can see my twitter on the right side of my blog. Sign up is really easy, and they don't need much information from you. Twitter is only worthwhile if your friends and family sign up and USE it, so please click "follow me on twitter" under my twitter updates on the right on this page

:)

If you would like more information on twitter, visit www.twitter.com
There is a cute little video that explains twitter better than I can.

ADIOS, SUCKA!

crazy week so far

Saturday I shot and edited a PSA for Open BBQ Open Jam.
I think it went very well. Every year, my pal Matt Frye and his Friend Stan put on this event for a different cause. This year OBOJ is highlighting IntraHealth. To learn more about IntraHealth, go here: www.intrahealth.org. This year's OBOJ will be held at Smokey's BBQ Shack in Morrisville, NC on June 14th from 11am to Sunset. For more information, visit www.oboj.org You can see the PSA here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hov7zCF5PU or on local NBC17.

Sunday I drove to Maryland with my Mom, Sister Ann and Matt to see Grandma.
She looked just as cute as always, and it was nice to spend the day with the ladies - and Matt. We listened to Paying For Keeps the entire ride there and back, and it ROCKED! If you still haven't read this or listened to the podcast, you have got to! www.playingforkeepsnovel.com What are you waiting for, it's free!

Monday was OBAMA!! rally in Chapel Hill. So freaking awesome!
Obama was amazing. It was great to see the Smith Center at UNC packed to the brim. I was lucky enough to be one of the first 100 people inside along with a bunch of my friends, so we were on the floor 10 feet away from Obama! It was great! He talked about how the gas holiday was a joke and that it would only save us approx $30 in total. The money accumulated from the gas tax goes to the Department of Transportation for our roads and bridges. A gas tax holiday, even if only for the three months that McCain and Clinton are hoping for, would result in the loss of 3,000 DOT jobs. There is something terribly wrong when politicians think it is OK to lay more people off when we are going into a recession, especially if it will only save drivers $30. I would rather pay the extra tax! I'm really sick of politicians saying what they think I want to hear, when it is so obvious that they don't care about us at all. I wish this primary was over already.

Tuesday was low key.
My legs needed to relax a little from standing in the same place for hours and hours and hours......

Wednesday was another doctor visit that went better than expected.
I saw the OB/GYN PCOS/Fertility expert. He assured me that if and when I was ready to have children, it was very possible. Just not to wait until 37 or older. He did say that fertility treatments can be very expensive and result in multiple births. Scary!

Thursday was walk around Carrboro with my sweetie day.
We ate dinner at Weaver Street Market and had a good 'ol time hippy watching. Some girl kept eating a salad with her fingers. I wanted to throw a fork at her!

And today has been the workday that just won't end!


I have recently fallen in love with an awesome Pilates DVD and I have to suggest it to you! It's called the 10 Minute Solution Slim & Sculpt Pilates. This is by far the best fitness DVD I have ever purchased. I haven't seen any results yet, this morning was only my third morning doing the DVD, but what I love about it is that you are given the option to do as much as 50 minutes or as little as 10 minutes. The DVD allows you to create your own workout from the 5 different Pilates segments. So, say I want to do two segments - abs and lower body, no problem! And it's only 20 minutes! I really have no excuse not to exercise every morning now! And you get a resistance band with the DVD too. So awesome! I can really tell I'm doing some serious strength training with that band. I got my copy at Walmart for 10 bucks. So cheap and convenient!

I love my new pedometer!
