>I went to church and then I went to the gym. I feel so much better now. Not so slug like. I also went to Target. I don’t know if I mentioned it here, but my head was itching whenever I used the Paul Mitchel hair products. So I gave the one I bought to Em and went to Target to get Aussie. I also got a pair of leather mittens and gloves. I don’t remember if I still have a pair from last year, so I just got another one. Now I am looking at the bag with my winter stuff in it and there are two pairs of gloves in there. A nice pair, and a worn pair. The worn pair is the warmer of the two gloves and it is the one I use when I pump gas in the winter. Although, since I now have the garden gloves in my car, I might just keep on using them.

I got the second dress from Chadwicks. I got it a while ago and just have not worn it. I hadn’t even gotten it out of the package until this morning. Since the other dress was tight around the arms, I was a little worried this dress wouldn’t fit. Well as you can see, it fits just fine. I am trying to look like a model in this picture. I better keep my day job!

These is one of the dresses I posted about on my old blog. I don’t know if I mentioned the other dress came in first and it fits o.k., but is a little tight around the arms. I don’t know if that will ease up as I lose more weight, it is not so tight that I can’t wear the dress.

>I have started listening to my MP3 player again. I got some songs by Coldplay and have been listening to them. Five for Fighting has a song NYC Weather Report and one line is “New York City not so cute but ‘oh so pretty, when the rain falls.'” I did it like that because I am not sure I got the first part right. Anyway, I know what they mean, when its raining and everything is gray and the lights are shining through the rain, it is very pretty. This is the view looking up at the street from the subway.

Monday was the first day of Autumn and this week I have gone from sandals to boots. It could be that I have no shoes to transition between the two or maybe I only like sandals and boots or maybe shoes hurt my feet. My weight may not be where I want it, but I put my leather jacket on this morning and I was able to zip it with no problem. I am sending this from my phone, it counts the letters and I am trying to get to 500. I don’t think I will make it, oh I just did.

And now I am home and adding comments from my computer. I was supposed to watch my DVDs so I could return them, I ended up watching Discovery Channel, a show about a busy ER, medical mysteries, Dr. G. More medical mysteries. Now I am here and should be going to bed but I still have things to do. This is the building I work in and to the left is the Citi Building.

So I am going to leave now. Check my other e-mail and my shelfari account and then to bed.

>Not a morning person

>I know I have mentioned this before, I keep hoping that if I keep saying it, it will eventually sink into my little pea brain, 15 minutes is not enough time to pee, put in my contacts, wash my face, brush my teeth, get dressed and put on my makeup. Oh and if you have an extra 5 minutes, that is not enough time to go online or clean the litter box! Sorry Butterscotch.

And the day did not get any better. The train was late leaving GCT, by about 40 minutes! Oy. And today is one of the days that Stitch takes my car so I had to call Em to not come get me because the train was late but she didn’t get the call until she was at the train station. Anyway, I did not go to the meeting tonight, Tigger didn’t either, he wasn’t feeling well. It didn’t stop him from eating two bowls of Tootsie Rolls though. And I finally got my songs. I took my MP3 player upstairs and downloaded them from the computer. He would never have sent them. I didn’t sign the computer out of the Amazon account, I need to do that next.

The delay was O.K. in one sense, though, I finished reading The Devil’s Right Hand Man.

Now I have to decide which one of three books I have I will read next.

>I cannot think of a clever title

>Em sent me the e-mail that I posted below. I added the colors, I was going to make them all different fonts but decided that was too much work. My head is still feeling like someone is inside trying to get out. I have been eating food I am allergic to, I have to stop that. I have to go to bed earlier also. Right now I have to go upstairs to take a shower and get D’s e-mail address for BN. I don’t know if I want to read or watch TV, what I should do is put my aching head to bed to see if that fixes it. If I don’t come back tonight, that is what I am doing.

Tigger bought some songs, he said he would share them with me, so far he hasn’t. I am tempted to go upstairs and send them to me, but I don’t know where he saved them. Anyway, I just changed my password so he can’t get into the account anymore. I just don’t know if he has to enter it to buy anymore songs. What I mean is the computer upstairs was signed into my account, I don’t know if he signed out and if he didn’t, if changing my account will stop him from being able to buy anymore songs. I mean, he won’t buy them without my permission, but he promised to send them to me and he hasn’t. That annoys me.

Last day of August

Filed under: Miscellanea
August 31, 2008

And I have outdone myself. With posting that is, and my weight is 137.6 pounds this morning. That is 0.2 pounds less than last week. I didn’t get out of bed this morning, so I have to rush to get dressed and put on my face for the meeting.

After the meeting I have to go to Allsport and write my talk for this Wednesday. I already know what I am saying, I just have to put it down and refine it. M is helping me so that should be fun. Well, I will probably come back later. I also want to finish White Fang so I can put it on August’s book list.

No more reading for today. I might put White Fang on August list anyway. I will finish the book soon anyway. Got to get some sleep now.

I sneezed 6 times on the subway, my germs are all over the 7 train. Take that MTA!
I feel like singing, “My weights a rubber ball, it keeps bouncing back to me!”

Selvin has got to be the nosiest person I know. I was writing in my notebook and he had to come see what I was writing. That and telling me what I should do etc drive me crazy. Right now I am hiding in the Ladies bathroom writing this cause I just can’t stand to be here anymore today. He wants me to take this EPA training for NPDES inspectors. Fine, whatever. Anyway, it is in September in Poughkeepsie, so that may work out fine for me, Stitch can probably drop me off on the way to class.

Today I finished Murder in the Adirondacks by Craig Brandon and wrote a review on Shelfari. I copied it to LibraryThing. I should add that to my website list.

M is excited about our upcoming trip to Manhattan. She is going to order tickets to Top of the Rock. We don’t know where we are going to eat, but I am not worried. It’s a day trip with no set schedule.

She lost weight this week, I didn’t, yet anyway, official WI isn’t until Monday. If I am really good this weekend . . . however, my jeans are looser.

Home today

Filed under: Beauty, Health, Miscellanea, Weather
August 11, 2008

Didn’t go to work today, just not up to it. It poured here, thunder, lightning and hail. Stitch had my car and couldn’t come home because of the storm.

When M got home yesterday, the house was clean enough to satisfy her. Today I have done two loads of laundry for her.

Gwen and I played Rummikub too. I need to go to Allsport, I can’t remember the last time I went. I might be back later.

I am home now, in my room and it is cold. I feel like lying down with my book, but I am afraid I will fall asleep, I really need to log my food in the WW points tracker. Speaking of WW, my weight this morning was 137.6, 2 more pounds lost. M grilled burgers for dinner. She also sliced some tomatoes from her garden, they were very red! At this rate, I might be below 135 in another month. I am calculating the total from when I recommitted which includes a gain one week. I will be happy if I am 135 by next month. Yeah, keep saying that, I might believe it.

Em’s epilator came today, she had to charge it before she could use. I don’t know if she has yet, I will let you know when she lets me know. I told her about the one I saw at Target and didn’t get and she said she had seen one and thought it would be too big to use on your face, even though it said you could use it on your face. I had thought that also of the one I saw at Target, the one I got is prettier too. When I brought the box out, Tigger wanted to know what it was, Em said, “It’s my present, my new toy.” I hope it works well for her, maybe Gwen will use it too.

Going down,

Filed under: Health, Miscellanea, Work
August 6, 2008

139.2 this morning. YAY! Keep going down.

As we were waiting for the train to leave, this man, who was sitting on the other side, had his cell phone glued to his ear. The announcement came over the P.A. system, ‘This is the express train to Poughkeepsie making stops at . . .’, all of a sudden this man shouts, ‘What? This train doesn’t stop at Croton?’ He jumps up grabs his bag and leaves. It was so sudden and unexpected we laughed.

OK, trying again. My jewelry came, and I had to listen to the no personal mail speech, because I believe in, it’s easier to be forgiven then get permission. I promise to never do it again, or at least until Zales has another clearance sale.

So I had a pretty productive day, I went to work, I came home, hung my clothes out that I put in the laundry this morning, yes, this morning! Put another load in, the last load of M’s. Then I went to the meeting, was almost on time. Came home, called my mom back, she has called twice. Cleaned both cat boxes, pulled the dehumidifier out from D’s workroom and plugged it in. Oh and I fought off Abigail. I also gave Papuga a piece of pineapple, I am trying the bribery route. She is funny, she took the pineapple, then dropped it, then gave me this look like ‘oops’

My new phone has over 100 text messages in it. I am not deleting until I find out how many it will hold. Well, I have to go now. This is post #200.

>Walk yesterday

Filed under: Miscellanea
August 4, 2008

>I think I forgot to mention the deer I saw when I was walking to the park yesterday. I will fill in the details later. Abigail left the basket of towels to sleep on me last night and I woke up feeling like I was pinned to the couch.

Ok so I am an idiot

I made a big mistake today, ok, not so big, I had one of those thoughts that you should keep to ones self and I didn’t. It involved J & D & A & Ms. A & the gnats. I was standing on the other side of J’s desk and they were talking about the gnats and J said they are attracted to food, and that they were gone now, Ms. A said they were all at her desk, J asked if she had food, she said no and I said, “Maybe you’re just attractive.” J, D and A all started laughing, trying not to laugh out loud, Ms. A got real quiet, and I just said, “I think I better go back to my cubicle and try to be good the rest of the day.” The thought was in my head and it just popped out.

Anyway, yesterday when I was walking to the park, Tigger and I were sending text messages to each other, as my text alert was going off, I heard a noise in the bushes near the road, like an animal moving around. So I looked to the side, didn’t see anything, then I looked up, and there it was, a deer, standing there and we looked at each other and before I could turn the camera on in my phone, it walked away. It was scary cool.

I am two posts away from 200.

139.6

Success! I gave Papuga food and water and still have all my fingers. I am smarter then the bird. But as M says, not as vicious. But then when I sat down here, Abigail got on the couch next to me laid on my arm and wrapped her paws around my wrist. I now believe Tigger when he says Abigail sends text messages cause she was messing up my typing and typing things herself!

>Buggy

Filed under: Miscellanea
August 1, 2008

>The bugs here are driving me crazy! And I have this wicked headache, I think I am going home early. I started using the daily planner I bought to journal my food, I think it will work fine but I forgot to weigh myself this morning! I am so aggravated, I remembered when I was leaving and I was not about to weigh myself completely dressed. I will have to make sure I weigh myself tomorrow. According to my points tracker I ate 19 points yesterday, that was without using my ap’s, and did I tell you I found my points calculator? It was in my backpack, I only looked in there 3 times and couldn’t find it, I found it when I was looking for my Neosporin.

Well, was that a jumble of thoughts or what? I did come home early. The headache was fading but it was bugging me and I just wanted to lie down. Of course, when I got home the boys were um, well, being themselves. So instead of getting to lie down, I played Rummikub with Gwen. I really like Stitch’s new computer and would like to get one for myself, but I want to see how it is and Stitch won’t let me. I probably shouldn’t, I have this computer, it is just it is so portable I think I could use it.

M. and family are getting ready to leave for New Hampshire tomorrow. Gwen showed me where the glove is to use when handling Papuga and how to do it. I’m am not looking forward to it. Papuga hates me. Gwen told me to put her on the floor and put a towel over her. I asked if Papuga would walk around, she grinned and said yes.
