This is MYYYYY Island

I've been having problems remembering who is on my island lately. You know the Island? The one where you get to be stranded with your five favorite star? Anyhow ... I blame my getting old as my reason why I can not remember who all my five are. Not to mention that most of the time I think of my island is when I've been drinking and talking about what hot stars I plan on marrying when I grow up. This past Friday my friend E and I were out. At a bar. On a Friday night. We of course got on the subject of my island and all my hot stars. Now...I've been working on my island for MONTHS. I finally got it populated. Texted the masses. Stoked at how awesome my island is. At this moment at the bar, I realized that I FORGOT one of my Mr. Tall Lattes!! Which is insane because we (I mean me) talk about it at least once whenever she and I get together.

It finally came back to me at 430am on Saturday. I don't know HOW I managed to forget him in the first place! He was the first person ON my island. I came to the conclusion that I have to get this down before I forget again! Best spot is here. So here it is. In no particular order. My island. Where we don't make enough coconut fabric for shirts. And any of these guys can be first in line to have my babies.

1. Jason Statham - He is completely HHHHOTTT. And the accent? Only a plus. His movies and acting are not Oscar caliber, but he tends to take his shirt off at some point during each movie. Have I mentioned that he's H O T??!!?? Check out Transporter, Transporter 3, Crank, Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, and Deathrace. Do not complain to me about losing any hours of your time. If you have to rewind the DVD and pause it to give these hours meaning again....do it.

Don't expect much as far as acting chops .... seriously. But he takes his shirt off a lot!!



2. Vin Diesel - One of the OG hot guys I've been crushing on for YEARS! I think I wanted to marry him before I met Jason Statham. That time at that bar? Didn't I tell you?? Some of my favorites include: Fast and Furious. The Fast and The Furious. XXX. He does actually have some acting chops. A Man Apart was really good. He's more than just a pretty face. I still enjoy him with his shirt off!

3. Ryan Reynolds - He is the hottest smart ass I've never met. I loved him in Van Wilder. I loved him in Blade 3 more where he spends plenty of time flexing his smart-ass muscles. And the rest of his muscles.

4. Hugh Jackman - All I can say about him right now is Wolverine. Go see it. He's in some other stuff too, but I seriously can't think of one. (shorty latte's sister here. see Australia.)

5. Nathan Fillion - Who you may ask? There was this show called "Firefly" that was awesome. It was sadly cancelled after its first season. They did do a movie and that was great too. This guy is a very charming, handsome, smart ass. He's back on TV in this show "Castle". If you aren't watching it ... please do. I'd seriously CRY if it was cancelled.

He is the only one I found an actual ass shot of. It was in one of the episodes of Firefly. He got robbed of all his clothes and had to wander around nekked for the entire hour. It was awesome.

If you ever get a drunk text from me asking "Who was number FIVE?!!?" ... you can calmly refer me to this post.

Sweet Jesus

Thank you for keeping me employed. But seriously ... how long do you expect me to keep this up? Not only am I doing my full time job ... I'm coordinating all you yahoos schedules, making sure that we are on God and every one's approved vendor list, coordinating the jobs we currently have to make sure we have them covered, tracking budgets, getting change orders, collecting money, paying people, billing people, playing Guido and threatening to break knee caps if we don't get our money, train the new accounting department what they are supposed to be doing, find new opportunities to bid, coordinate all the bids that people want us to give them, follow up on the bids we have submitted, track all the jobs you yahoos have followed up on, help setup the building blocks for new business opportunities. Just to name a few. Now, I don't discount all the work you are doing. And I know I can hack it. I know you say it's not forever. And I know that if we make it through all this that we'll be in great shape, but I'm just slightly concerned over the mental shape I'll be in. I'm only asking because I'm curious. This is also a heads up I may have a slight meltdown. Which will be followed by a day of drunkenness, a day of hangover, and a day of just sleep to get back to normal. Or just spend a lot of time at the gym.

Marathon Training

I was so excited and dedicated to my marathon training and the big day on May 31st. I've decided to take a year to train for the marathon instead of the 6 month program I was on. I won't be running this years Rock n' Roll Marathon. I have been dealing with some issues including shin splints and Plantar Fasciitis Piriformis which both make running a very painful experience. I've taken a few weeks off from my training and am finally able to walk around with out really any pain. I attempted a 'jog' a couple weeks ago and made it about 5 minutes before I realized that if I keep it up, I'll hurt myself again. I think I just pushed too hard too fast. So, instead of making any of these injuries permanent or have them turn into something worse, I'm going to keep training but at a slower pace. Maybe I'll do a marathon later this year or even just plan on next years.


I'm starting back towards day one this next week and do about 2 - 3 weeks per one week on the schedule. I'll keep you all posted on how things go! Thank you all so much for the support and encouragement.

Dinner of Champions

This is probably a great way to start my month of sweet blogs. Last nights dinner consisted of:


Vodka and soda with lime and chocolate covered gummi bears and almonds. I'm not big on the sweets, but the lady times make me crave it. I have my Haagen Daaz Vanilla Swiss Almond for dinner tonight. Then ultra healthy next week.
