Fitness Video Competition

Hello everyone,

I can not believe that 7 weeks ago I entered an online fitness video competition. This contest is to show the instructor's strength on teaching. I love teaching fitness, I have so much passion for it.

I am pleading with you to go to this link and register to vote. It is really easy, wait for the e-mail comfirmation and you will be all set. You get 15 votes per day to use. I could really use the help.

Here is the link: http://www.projectbreakout.com/fitness1/#page:1

I am really excited for this opportunity.

My chance to make a DVD fitness video if I win. The winner will be notified next Monday.

Wish me luck.

The Best Thing About Me Test

Wow, discipline. i am not too sure about this, but I will say that it is cool that I rank up there with Jesus and Ghandi. Notice how I lefted out the other name.

I think this was pretty cool. Says people with discipline are successful. i do wish to be successful and rich. :) Thanks C.C.

Your result for The Best Thing About You Test...

Discipline

Discipline is your greatest virtue.

Discipline is the act of enduring that which you don't dig ("the shit"), even though you could be doing something else more fun, because the shit is better for you in the long run. And you? You are remarkable. You can endure a lot of the shit, sometimes self-imposed. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your discipline runs deepest.

Discipline is the key to success. In the picture above, the climber is finally having fun and unwinding, after a life of preparation.

Disciplined famous people:

Whining Wednesday

Whining Wednesdays! [Photo]In my exercise class on wednesday, someone came up with the term, Wednesday was for whining. Okay, I take that. The more they whined the harder they had to work. I have decided to dedicate Wednesday to strictly whining. If you would like to join in, please be my guest. I think it will be fun. Just don't let it get out of hand and don't use real names just to help protect the non-whiners. PBSssssst. Whatever!Okay, I will start. Well, I don't know how many of you know that I install blinds for Lowe's Home Improvement. Yes, I am going to use their name. But, I am having trouble getting a hold of anyone when I call. So, here is what happened on Wednesday, August 13th. I was driving from an install. The install went really well. That is because I did all the measuring. Funny how that happens.Okay, so being the professional that I am, (I liked to think that I am), I noticed that I had a missed call from Lowe's from the Southside store. I don't like to take my phone in on a job, because if it rings it just breaks my momentum. So, I called back and asked the operator to patch me through to the deparment. The phone rang and rang and rang and rang and rang [Photo](you get the point) until the operator came back on and asked"How may I direct your call?" So, this time I ask for them to page the department, because they carry phones on them. The phone rang and rang and rang and rang ( are you getting the point?)[Photo][Photo]The operator comes back on and asked again; "Who are you holding for?" I then said, "Now I need install sales please." She then asked "Is there something I can help you with?" You can get me installs sales please (my tone of voice is getting rather frustrated).The phone rang and rang and rang and rang. Urgh! So, again the phone rang back to the operator, "How may I direct your call?" Could you please, page install sales! Again, the phone rang and rang, etc... I was getting really ticked off by this point. The operator comes back on, I know you guys, most of you would have hung up by now, but hey I am trying all my avenues. If I don't talk to someone about what is going on, they are blowing my phone up and getting on me. [Photo]One more, time, the operator came back on and asked "Who are you holding for?" I reply in a stern voice, "Now, I need a manager." She replied "okay, let me see." The phone rang and rang and rang........ You have got to be kidding me. People this is 2:30 in the afternoon. The kids are still on summer vacation. Where the heck is everyone.She gets back on and I say "What is the manager's name?" Let me patch... "No, I need a name, you are not going to patch me to anybody." She says: "Let me see who is working right now" "Are you freakin kidding me, not anybody, cause I keep getting you. Apparently, you are the only one working out of the three departments I have tried. She gave me a name. I said "I am on my way." Urgh! You know I feel like my friend at the top, I just want to stuff the pillow on each one of those departments. Men happen to be in charge of all these departments. Worthless Men.Okay, that is my whining for Wednesday. Feel free to add your Whining Wednesdays.

A Week of Silence.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to drop a note to everyone to let you know that I so apologize for the week of silence. I had scheduled something to post while I was gone but it did not work.

For my Entrecard droppers. I am back now and will be hitting your sites again.

For my regulars, again, I apologize that my post did not work. I think you are going to love it when it does post this week.

I was out of town working on my fitness and I am so sore right now, that the only thing that seems to be working are my fingers to write this post. I had a good time and ready to get into the semester and clicking away again.

A much needed break and much needed education in my field.

thanks for coming by and leaving the comments.

Quiz --What Olympic Sport Are You?

I was doing my regular EC dropping today and I ran across Seasons for All Blog and I saw that she had this cute little quiz on there that caught my eye so I tried it. Here is what I am:

You Are Tennis

You are highly competitive and driven. You're in it to win, and you will keep going until you do. You crave fame, success, and the envy of others.

What Olympic Sport Are You?

Well, I do have to say that I did play Tennis in High School. I was pretty good though. I am competitive by myself, that is why I like to bike, swim, blog, and teach aerobics. I do however love basketball. That is my real passion.

Yes, I have to admite that I do kind of crave fame, success, but I don't envy others anymore. I used to and then I never got any where, so I believe in myself.

So, being in the Olympic spirit, go over and take this little quiz. You might be surprised. Here is the link. http://www.blogthings.com/whatolympicsportareyouquiz/

Thanks I thought this was fun. Go the WILLIAMS SISTAS. Congrats on the GOLD.

Tea Pots Sitting on a Fence

Here is to Edge of Insanity. I love Sam's writing. She has a knack for writing and I enjoy reading her blog. She has a way of making me recall certain things that I have seen in my travels.

Here is to you.

Now, Sam talks about living in HillyBillyVille. I would like to know exactly where that is. I talk about it all the time. But Sam, have you ever seen this?

Okay, so this lady I am assuming collects tea kettles/pots, but she must have too many in her house that she decided to line her fence with them. Here is a closer look.

So, what do you think? Hope you can see them.
