Out With the Old...On With the NEW

For those of you faithful followers...continue to follow me here.

I have decided I absolutely love the look and feel of Tumblr and this will be my official BLOG going forward. I am transitioning into the world of Tumblr and hopefully you will still enjoy the sass, figuratively peaking! So this is adios to blogger. BUT you will continue to learn more about me and fall more in love with the truest of true people that you have already grown to love. (what, I can be confident sometimes...) So add me. Like me. Follow me. However, you so choose....

See you on the other side. Peace Out.

Suck It.

I hate winter. The day in and day out of it being cold. And today, I hate it even more because it cracked my windshield. Granted, a rock from the highway started the blemish…but winter turned it into a full on crack across my windshield. So winter, I have two words for you. SUCK IT.

My Pet, Cooper

Cooper: a.k.a Cooper the Pooper, Coop, 3-Poop Coop....

August 2009 - I adopted Cooper from the Humane Society. They say he is part Lab, part Australian Cattle Dog. Who knows, all I know was that he was the lonely boy dog in the girl wing of the facility who needed a home. He was laying on his cot looking up at me through the glass. The minute our eyes met, I knew that I had to take him home. Little did I know, that he would cause some destruction his first month with us. He tore apart numerous doggie beds, stuffed animals, blankets, my boyfriend's favorite hat, and my dining room carpet. But with a lot of patience (and some crying) he has grown to be a perfect addition to our family. I know his whines when he has to go outside. I know when he's hungry in the morning because he has the LOUDEST stomach rumble I have ever heard in a dog. He loves rides in the car and long walks in the park. He still doesn't quite understand cats and why they don't want to play with him, but give him any dog, and they will be best friends. His favorite toys are anything that sqweeks and bones give him the runs. He gives me comfort when I have had a bad day and is the best snuggle buddy. My forever friend...Cooper.

To Be Fit Or Not To Be Fit

Day (whatever) challenge: Are you a Fitness Guru or Couch Potato?

I would like to say my brain is a fitness guru and wants to work out 24-7...whether that actually happens has to do with my body and the devil side of my brain saying, "Couch looks much better." The worst is when I am sitting on my couch WATCHING the Biggest Loser. BUT I have in fact joined the gym and try to go as much as I can. Occasionally I go on my lunch break since it's just down the strip from where I work. I hit up the treadmill and some circuit training weights and feel accomplished. My true passion at the gym are the classes offered, but during lunchtime there are none available. When I have gone to classes, my favorites have to be kickboxing, piyo (pilates and yoga combined - who knew you could actually work up sweat bending and balancing.) and hip-hop dance.

Snow Day

Apparently, some people in my department think that when it's a snow day for some, it's a snow day for all. My son is at home enjoying the luxuries of the day off, but not me. I'm at work. (blogging, hee hee) I miss snow days. Gone are the days though (unless I switch careers and become a teacher) that I can stay home because of snow. Oh, how I remember snow days! We would go sledding, make snowmen, have snowball fights, lay in the snow and make snowangels, and even build snow forts....now, the thought of all of those make me shiver and think, umm, no thanks...too damn cold out. Now when it snows I think, great, traffic is going to be horrible. What am I going to do with my son? Will this all refreeze tonight? I hope my dog doesn't want to play in this when we go outside. Ya, happy snow day, for me, it is not. (as pretty as it might be.)

Figuratively Peaking on Hold

Dear Tumblr,

As much as I love being online and blogging, tonight I couldn't even get past the DESIGN stage of creating my new blog. (my apologies, Blogger) I thought I would give Tumblr a try, but after spending way to long just trying to figure out how to edit my only entry, I think I might have to just stick with my trusty ole yeller blog, Sass In The City.

I know my trusted followers are happy about this non-move. (but if you do so chose to follow my rants and bitching on Tumblr, you can go to http://figurativelypeaking.tumblr.com/. I'll be sure to make the two different, until I am tired of Tumblr freezing and telling me the server is busy...therefore giving up all together and blogging here.)

-Thanks,
Sass.

My Favorite Season

I think my favorite season would have to be Fall. As much as I love Spring because of the anticipation of warmth after several long winter months and the blossoming of the tulips (and don't forget evening softball games)....Fall is definitely a season that I welcome it's arrival. I have so many aspects that I love about Fall. A brisk chill in the air after the HOT summer days, the changing of the leaves from green to gorgeous hues of red and orange, sitting on the sidelines watching my son play football, fires in the chimnea, wine time on the porch, the smell of burning fallen leaves; all of it brings me great happiness.
