Boxes wine is great. If you've never had it, try Franzia's Chillable Red and throw some frozen strawberries in it. I'm three glasses (not so much glasses as plastic cups, but who cares) into it and I couldn't be happier... |

| Anti-Gym Sucks |

Instead of typing the whole story out, here is a copy of the letter I sent to the owner tonight.
Hello Michael,
I was hoping I wouldn't have to bother you again, but my problem is not being resolved.
I talked to you back on Dec. 24th about the communication issues I was having with Josh after I showed up for my session to find that the facility was closed for the evening. This was my first inconvenience.
I decided to give Josh another chance and keep him as a trainer. He called a few days later and explained that he had been having phone and computer issues but everything was up and running again. I asked him at that point why I still hadn't heard back from him on the email I sent on Dec. 18th regarding the suggested menu and substitutions I could make due to my many food allergies. He didn't give me a very complete answer, but I figured I could research the food substitutions on my own if I had to. That was a little irritating, but nothing I couldn't handle.
We also discussed setting up a schedule. Until this time I had no idea what days or what times I was supposed to work out. We decided that Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 6pm was the best schedule.
On Saturday, I sent Josh a text message that said "See you Monday at 6!", meaning Monday Dec. 31st. He responded with "See you then" or something similar. I was excited for my session because I thought things were finally going to work out. Then on Monday... I showed up at 5:50pm and the facility was closed... Again. Another inconvenience. By this time I was pretty much sick of it. It also didn't help my confidence in the integrity of the Anti-Gym to see a Demand for Payment of Rent notice taped on the door. For a few seconds, I truly thought I was being scammed!
When I got back to my car I sent Josh a text message saying something like, "This is bullshit. I want my money back." He called me immediately, apologized profusely and acknowledged that he had made a mistake when he confirmed the Monday appointment with the text message on the 29th. He offered a free week of sessions, and told me I could have my money back if I still wasn't happy.
I don't want a free week of sessions, and Josh won't even call me back now. I don't want to be jerked around anymore. I don't want anything to do with the Anti-Gym at this point. I will gladly pay for the two sessions I had, but all I really want is my money back. I hope you understand.
Please let me know how you would like to settle this. I just want this to be over.
Sincerely,
Amber P.
Needless to say, watch out for these guys. Super unprofessional mofos.
I'll update if I hear back from the guy. If not, I know an awesome lawyer. :) It's hardly worth the $1500 I gave them, but it will be fun if it comes to that.
So... Anyone know a good personal trainer? |

So... I haven't posted anything since 12/31/06, but today is a day I want to remember.
I've tried to work out consistently for the last few years, but I am very easily discouraged. Without seeing actual results, I would give up for a few months, then start up again for a few weeks when I was feeling extra fat. I just couldn't find my motivation, so I joined the Anti-Gym on Monday. I liked their offensive commercials because, well, I'm pretty damn offensive myself. It looked like they might be able to give me the push I needed to get me going. On weeknights they have a live DJ playing really good electronic music and girls dancing in cages. So awesome.
So far I've gone to two 40-minute sessions. Monday's session was possibly the hardest thing I have ever done physically. Twenty minutes into the workout I had to excuse myself because I thought I was going to throw up. I woke up sore on Tuesday, but it was a good kind of sore. Tuesday night I started to get worse... Then I woke up this morning and could barely walk. My boss had to help me get out of the car when I got to work. It was pretty entertaining. All day I was trying to decide if I should go to tonight's workout. Usually I would bitch out because I always bitch out, but for some reason I decided to go. I'm really glad I did. We worked on arms, and some of the smallest weights were too much for me to handle. I could barely drive home. It's hard to steer a car with spaghetti noodles for arms. I'm anticipating full-body soreness tomorrow and I can't wait.
I'm taking my mom and grandma to Maui for Mother's Day because none of us have seen the ocean and it's about damn time. I just keep thinking about how awesome it will be when I'm wearing my bikini and running along the beach all Baywatch-style in slow motion and shit's not jiggling all over the place. I am SO making a video. :) |

In 2007,  adanielle resolves to... Go drawing three times a week.
Spend more time with my books.
Go to the robots every month.
Give some cherries to charity.
Lose ten numbers by March.
Ask my boss for a japanese.
Actually I'm going to paint more and get in shape, but I bet if I asked my boss for a Japanese, he'd give me one. He knows I have a BAD case of yellow fever. |

Kind of. I've moved twice since the last time I updated. Wow. And I have an ulser. That means I have to eat for two, right? I made cupcakes in ice cream cones. You should make them, too.
I'll be in Seattle from the 29th to July 2nd. Is there anything going on up there that I should know about? I'm going to eat so many fresh dead ocean animals that I'll come back with tentacles and gills and stuff. |

I ♥ Pho Van. If you're in Denver you should go. It's on Federal and one of those streets just south of Alameda that's named after a state. Yeah. I think I just love them because they know not to put onions or green onions or cilantro on anything I order. So cute.
So... Yay! We're moving. Together! We found a place thats 913 sq feet (250 more than our current place) with a full-size washer & dryer, a balcony, gas fireplace, office and vaulted ceilings and and AND. I love it. AND just to make my life a little better, when I get paid on Friday there will be a nice little $500 bonus on there. After only 4 weeks of working there? Something bad's going to happen soon. Things are going to well.
I had dinner with my friend Kelly last night. We hadn't talked in about 3 years because of some shit that she told my ex before he was my ex. She apologized and I accepted it. I missed her. We had sushi and went to Target to play dress up. It was just like high school. Thank God for MySpace. I can't believe I just wrote that.
I think I smell like fish sauce. Not because we ate Vietnamese food, either. Sick. I'm going to Hell. I better go shower first. Can't be the devil's concubine smellin' like this. (No, but really, I think I got fish sauce on my hands.) Good night! |

I haven't updated in a looong time. I've been working at the new job, which I am 100% in love with. Everyone there is awesome and they love me so much they're giving me the $2 raise 30 days from my start date instead of 90. Can't complain about that. They also offered to pay for 100% of my school. Yeah. Never heard of a company doing that before. I love them. I got a laptop finally, too. My home PC is crap. My mom wants to trade me her vintage golf clubs for the computer because it's still better than hers. That's one of my summer goals - golfing. We went to the driving range with Ashley and Eric last night. I suck but it was fun. Rob and Brian at work told me I have to know how to golf if I'm going to be a CPA. Shaun and I are planning a weekend trip to Vegas, but we can't go until this semester is over because I have class Friday nights and Saturdays from 1-5. I'm excited because he's taking me to the all-you-can-eat sushi place he went to all the time when he lived there. That's sad. I'm going to Vegas and all I'm thinking about is sushi. Now I'm hungry. Damn. Shit, I should make it bedtime. I have to get up early so I can look all fancy because the guys from Northrop Grumman are coming in tomorrow.

Shaun just introduced me to this site - http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com
That's like porn to me.
Over dinner we talked about taking a trip to Seattle this summer so I can finally meet his friends & see the ocean.
I just ate cottage cheese for the first time since I was 5. I don't know why I ever stopped. |

I finally have my internet back! Qwest DSL is gay. I thought of a million things I wanted to post while I was working out on Thursday, but I came back and the shit was down. So... back to my usual pointless posts.
This is my last week of vacation before I start my new job. I'm superexcited. I have so much shit to do, though. (This is just to remind me, not to entertain you.)
Greek paper for Humanities
Movie assignment
Figure out final project
Paint picture for Anne's S.D.
LAUNDRY
Groceries
Thank you card to G & G
NAME THE CAT
Post pictures from Utah trip
Clean out hall closet
It seems like there should be more. Can't teach the cat to toilet-shit yet because the seat isn't here.
Shaun's taking me to see an IMAX movie tonight. Yay! I think we'll sneak in to Block Party afterward, then eat at Dave & Buster's. Their chipotle honey mustard is GOOD. I'll have to do a Shaun post later today. He's so god damn cute. He's still moving out, but... things have changed. Yay!
I just ate an entire box of roasted seaweed. I want more. |

I brought my little monster home. He was my grandparents' cat, but my grandpa has fallen a couple times recently and kitty likes feet too much so they thought it could get dangerous. He's the cutest thing EVER. He was an angel the whole way here. I've never had a cat behave as well as he did during a car trip, and this one was 8 hours long. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to name him.
( My baby! )

I did it. No more MoneyGram. Now I'm worrying about money. I think I'll be fine. I guess I could always do a few "sensual" body rubs if I need a few hundred bucks, right? |

I'm having a man dilemma. Shaun's moving out. We talked about it and at times it makes sense. We moved in together after only dating for 2 or 3 months, which is just retarded. We never really got to just date... you know, like actually missing the person during the week and looking forward to seeing them on the weekend. Shit like that. Now that we live together, it's kind of hard to take that step backwards, though. I would LOVE to marry Shaun one day but he's so god damn afraid to commit. He's perfect in every other aspect. Am I wasting my time? I keep thinking maybe he'll miss me too much after he moves out and want to move back in, but I'll only do it if we're engaged or at least talking about it. Am I just a complete sucker? HELP!!!! |

I got in to work today and had a counter proposal on the schedule change in my inbox. I never imagined that it would happen. I retracted my 2 weeks notice. My new schedule will be 11am-7:30pm Saturday and 5pm-9pm Mon, Tues & Weds. Perfect. I'm so happy! I can stay there with all of my amazing friends. Now I just need to find someone to work for me on the 27th, 28th & 1st so I can go visit Mom & Hank & Ash. That should be pretty easy. I worked on Shaun's V-Day card all day. Can't wait for sushi tomorrow. Ahhh... raw fish... my one true love.
P.S. Deluxe bean burritos from Senor Burrito are super good.
P.S.S. OH MY GOD I WANT MY IPOD!!!!! |

I bought an iPod today. Yay! I think I'll go to the gym more now because I'll have music to listen to. Shit, I better start working out if I'm supposed to get naked in that movie...
I have a photo shoot planned for Thursday with Chris. That should be super fun. Expect millions of pictures in the near future. I should go find stuff to wear.
I put my 2 weeks notice in tonight. I didn't want to. The supervisor I sent it to is going to see if she can find anyone that would trade schedules with me permanently because she knows I don't want to leave, and she doesn't want me to leave because I kick ass. Wish me luck. Work was very fun tonight. I love Johnny. A lot. Too much. I wanted to go see Tafoya's band play at Herman's Hideaway but I got off work too late and that sucks.
----------------
There was just a car accident outside. I had to go investigate. A cab hit a Civic and the driver's side window broke and cut the girl's face a little bit. I waited for the hot firemen to come before I came back in.
Shaun's in bed already... I'm going to go join him. He's moving out at the end of this month. Gotta take advantage of not being alone while he's still here. At least my Grandparents are giving me their kitten. Cute little Siamese bastard.
That concludes my exciting Saturday night. Goodnight. |
