Week 2, 3 and 4.

So, I made it through week two alive.

It was much harder than week one.

Three was better, and now here we are at Week #4.

I haven't done anything worth really blogging about, hence why I havent written. I really don't have anything to write about now either, but I figured if I'd sit down and make myself do it, I'd find something to write about.

See, now things are coming to me as I sit here...

Today, in week 4, they remains of what is believed to be Morgan Harrington were found in Albemarle County. Morgan is the 20yr old VT student who went missing after a Metallica concert at JPJ in Charlottesville.

It was so tragic to see the tweet this morning from @CBS6 on Twitter about remains being found. My heart sunk when I read it, because I knew it was probably Morgan. http://www.wtvr.com/

I can't even imagine why someone would want to abduct another human. Who does that? I hope her killer is found and is sentenced to death. That beautiful girl had so much more life to live.

On a post-Christmas note, I have finally decided what I wanted for my gift from my honey bunches. Yes, I know, it's January. He had originally gotten me a digital camera, even though I already have one that I received Christmas 2008. So he returned it and I decided on an HD Video Camera.

I have been waiting anxiously to get the word that is has been delivered at work. Nothing yet and it's 7:00pm. Ugh... Fed-Ex, get on it!

The camera I ordered online (and saved over $40 on) is pink-->

need I say more?

I'm sure there will be blogs soon about it and including videos from it. Now, if I could just get some help on video editing software. Any ideas?

Now, my workouts...

They are kickin my tail. @WhitStyles has been working us hard at Puma Bootcamp. I feel like such a weakling when I am there, but I know it will soon pay off. I do feel better already even though this is just the beginning of week 4.

I haven't put on my Swarovski crystal adorned jeans yet, but I think I feel a small difference in my dress-pants, which I wear daily. Also the arms are seeming to get a little better, but there is no "gun-show" going on just yet. ;)

Another thing I find really funny when I workout is that my motor-skills and my rhythym is off. I've got pretty good rhythym and can usually find a balance. I can dance to the beat, hear beats and I dont have any weird complexes, but when working out, the whole opposite arm/leg thing really gets me. Whit thinks it's funny, but it really irks me.

Okay Gezika, left leg forward, right arm up. Wait, your other right. Yeah that's what it sounds like.

I think it's just cause I'm in the zone and the blood is rushing to my muscle and not my brain, so it takes me a few trys to get the opposite leg/arm thing down. Am I the only one, or does anyone else do this?

Ya know now that I think about it, when I did the dance trance classes and step classes at Gold's Gym I had the same problem. Maybe that had to do with the moves being delayed since I was watching the instructor and mimicking her, but the beat in the music had already passed, so I was thrown off. Yeah... that's it. I'm too into listening than being visual.

Moving on, but speaking of rhythym; I can't wait to go to DC next month to see Ferry Corsten at GLOW(f.u.r.)!

I have never seen Ferry Corsten; although when I was in Miami at "Club Space" I waited in the long line, and even experienced Miami-Dade police taser people in line for, well nothing other than making an example of them. I didn't get in after the security picked and prodded at my ID card and then realized I wasn't 21 yet. What a let down.


This time I'm DEF of age to get in, and gosh darnit, I'm gonna dance the night away... FINALLY!


I hope a few friends are able to go with me and watch Ferry blow the roof off the club. Oooh and I'll have the video camera too, so maybe I'll bring that along and capture the festivities.


This blog is boring with no pics or links... let me fix that...



Okay, now there are some pics/links above... Shew much better.





Now, onto the two LOML's... (Love of my Life)...



Steve (the b/f)- he's okay, just working a lot. He got sick last night with a nasty sinus infection. Nothing and Advil Cold & Sinus couldn't fix. He's feeling a lot better today. Nurse Gezika to the rescue!
<-- here he is laying on the couch, sniffling. Notice the box of tissues in the bottom of the pic.

The Cabrio- okay so we've gathered she doesn't like snow, but now it's rain also. On Sunday night it rained heavy artillery and the VW decided to collect the rain waters for me. Not sure where she so kindly stored the rain drops at, but I can hear "sloshing" around when I hit the brakes or go around the corner. Note to self: don't park front end down on a hill so all the water collects somewhere in the front of the car.
I LOVE my Volkswagen.

Okay, well that's it for this week unless I do a end of Week 4 update later on.

Week One | 2010

It a new year. 2010. (like you didn't know that already huh?)

2009 is over and I think I speak for most people when I say "thank goodness!!!"

What a tough uneventful year that was not the highlight of my life thus far.

Now I'm sure I did many fun things and spent great time with great people, but I can't remember one thing that stands out to me that happened in 2009.

That's okay, let's move on to 2010. A fresh year and the year for change. Yes, that's right not maybe, or sometime later this year. NOW. After all, Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I can confess, 2009 was a year of Insanity.

So we all set New Year Resolutions, and probably most of us have the same resolutions as years prior, right? I do. It sucks to look back and see how we failed miserably. Why do accept this thing called Insanity?

This year is time for change though! I've began my journey for my most important resolution. Getting fit again and getting back in those Express size 26 Swarovski Crystal embellished jeans I so dearly loved LOVE.

I still love them I just love them from afar, as they sit on my "before" clothes in my closet. By before I mean; before I started the downward spiral we will call "the capital of the state" and "the restaurant we didn't have in the mountains back home."


I've began my journey with my personal trainer @WhitStyles at Styles Fitness Group. Whit is a young 20 something like myself that is doing her dream and helping me do mine. She left the corporate world, something we all wish we could do and is out there on her own, making it and looking good doing it. I not only aspire to be like her, but to dream like her. http://www.stylesgroupfitness.com/

(yes I am pictured here)






So my next resolution is to find something I love and DO IT. Don't get me wrong I like my job and the flexibility but I'm so tired of working for someone else doing "minion" work. I'm not using my full potential and I feel like I'm stuck here because I have bills. It's a vicious cycle. Granted, if I had less bills to pay, I'd be better off and enjoying my days off instead of working 2 other jobs. That part takes time to chip away at.

But even so, I'll repeat myself- I feel like I'm not using my full potential, in fact; this is boring. I could do this job in my sleep. I could be doing anything I want, just like my parents told me when I was young, but here I am in retail ten years later, cause I'm good at it, and truthfully, it's the ONLY thing on my resume. I don't want to be good at retail, this job was supposed to end when I finished school. Why am I still here?

I'm creative, outgoing, open minded, nice, happy, and I have a personality (which many people don't). I can do anything if taught once. I learn quick and have more common sense than you can shake a stick at. I have 2 main things that interest me that could be the rest of my life... Volkswagen and Electronic Music. That's where I get stuck.

I won't dwell on this last part, cause I've got my 2010 plan sorted out and firing on all cylinders. One leads to the other. I will use my full potential in all that I do this year. I may feel stuck, but I'm wedging my way out and the rest of my twenty-somethings won't go to waste. Promise.

Here's to Week 1 in 2010!
