Picture of Bowling!

Here is a picture of me and the guys at the bowling event. 

OK...I Have a Hard Time...

Believing that hiking, sweating or any of the above would be better than sex!  I'm pretty sure there isn't much that is better than sex (not sure what that says about me :))  I read this article which describes natural highs and such and one person describes these experiences as better than sex.  I'd have to say I prefer the sex. :)

I'm Bringing Sexy Back!

OK, so perhaps I'm exaggerating; however, I continued my workout today. Yes, I got my lazy butt up on Sunday morning and did some cardio. I'm ALREADY starting to see some results. There is no major sign of it yet; however, I have noticed a slight tightening in my abs and I've noticed a slight bit of definition in my thighs. I also finally get how to do that whole pull your navel back into your spine as if someone was pulling it with a string, no sucking in, no holding your breath thing! It's very exciting. So yes, I'm bringing sexy back, look out Justin Timberlake! :P (Wait, did I just admit to knowing that song and who sings it in my public blog?)

Bowling Night - An Update in the Life of Jennifer

Last night was bowling night with my work peeps. Our new manager from Ohio was there and we were all consuming some adult beverages (with the exception of 2 of the peeps). We actually bowled pretty well, although I will admit my second game really really sucked seeing as how by the end of that game I was pretty buzzed. We got our new manager to do a few very entertaining dance moves and a good time was had by all. After the bowling we all went and sat in the bar for a bit. Some of the people we knew on other teams also came and sat with us. I wish I had bowled better, but it was fun and I guess that is what really counts anyhow. I think our new manager jinxed me when he made comments about how well I was bowling. How dare he!!!

New Posts!

A new poem has been posted and a small sneak preview of the next chapter in VRHH has also been posted!

New Blog Design!

Starting today, I will have separate blogs for the type of blog I am posting. I have created Pele's Fire - Poetry; Pele's Fire - Commentary; and Pele's Fire - Short Stories. I think they are pretty self explanatory, but just in case, Commentary will be for my (mostly) political commentary, Poetry for my poems, and Short Stories for my stories (including the VRHH blogs).

I will be using this main page to post updates in my life, updates with the blog, and general stuff that doesn't fit into the other categories.

Happy reading!

The Return to Exercise: An Update in the Life of Jennifer

Tonight I returned to exercise. I've decided I'm going to work out every day. I meant to get up this morning and work out; however, I couldn't sleep last night and was up past 1 AM, so I couldn't get up early enough. I came home this evening and decided to do some cardio. 30 minutes is all I could do. Apparently I'm not very "in shape." But I was proud to have made it through 30 minutes without dying. My legs are like jell-o but other than that I'm good. I hope to get up tomorrow morning and do some Pilates and get my abs in shape. I'm going to look fabulous when I'm done and hopefully feel 100 X better than I do right now. I'm hoping to use Pilates and my upcoming Yoga class for college to get back to being focused in meditation. These days I can't focus to meditate for anything. The cardio is to help me burn the jell-o and look like a million bucks while making my heart and body healthier, which, I believe, will in turn my my mind healthier. I'm lost these days. I need to find where I've gone. I'm carrying around extremely negative energy and in turn I find that I'm simply unhappy. I know that there are things in my life which contribute to my negative feelings, but I have to find a way to tune them out.

So wish me luck!
