>Busy, had good timing this morning. Left the subway right before the fire department got there and closed it down! My weight this morning was 138.4 which is the same as the last time I weighed in.
I was going to go to Allsport, but decided since I just started back and am having cramps, besides I have my car tomorrow since I have to get my allergy shots, so I will go tomorrow.
Right now my neck is all cramping up and so I want to go to bed and sleep. See you tomorrow.
>Don’t know if it was the not having Scotch or the Tylenol® PM, but I got up early this morning and went out in service. I also went to the meeting. Gwen and I went to Panera for lunch and made some more plans for Em and D’s 25th Anniversary party. I hope they do this like they promised.
I was going to post yesterday that when I was at Saks yesterday and the woman was putting the moisturizer and stuff on my face, all I could think about was how fat my face was. Today I was 142.8, when means I have gained everything back. I went to Allsport and looked in the mirror and all I saw was my fat tummy. I know some would look at me and say I am not fat, and I know I really am not, just about 20-25 pounds overweight, with my health concerns I really need to get rid of the excess.
And once again I have stayed up too late. I need to go to bed now and I will see you tomorrow.
>This is getting to be a recurring post.
Since I spent 3 days in Albany Em decided I needed a trip to Manhattan, I suspect she was just using that as an excuse and just really wanted to go herself. I am her friend however so I went along with it. That sounds like I didn’t really want to go, of course I do. I wrote the above on the train, then I started to get motion sick, so I stopped. I just took some Tylenol® PM so I have to stop now. I will finish this tomorrow.
We didn’t go down real early this time. Em went to BJ’s so I decided I would go to Target to get a purse that I could carry my stuff and my camera in. Tigger wanted to come with me. So first I put gas in the car, then we drove to Target. I didn’t like how the car sounded so I checked the oil when we go to Target. Plenty of oil but dirty, so it needs to be changed. I will schedule that for next weekend. Em called while we were at Target so we met her at Panera for breakfast, we took a little too long so we had to drive straight to the train station, that meant I didn’t have my camera, I only had foundation on and I was wearing my Crocs™! My fuzzy ones. I was not very happy about that.
After making a stop at the bathroom, we started walking up 5th Avenue toward Central Park. I was looking for a perfume store I saw on 5th Avenue once. We didn’t find it, Tigger found it on his I-touch, but we didn’t go to it. I stopped at Sephora to see about getting a makeover, didn’t get one there, got one at Saks and bought some lip gloss. Em bought a bunch of makeup, enough to get a free gift from Lancôme. Tigger got a shirt and another jacket, navy blue this time. We went to Cafe Frida for lunch again. I had the same thing I had last time and Em had fajitas and Tigger had Salmon. This is some of the decor there. Kind of cool huh? Em said the waiter was kind of cute, I said yeah, in a South American Rebel kind of way!
It was a fun day after all. I bought lip gloss and two new pairs of Crocs™, we finished our day at Annie Moore’s as usual. I didn’t have Scotch this time, need to see if that is what makes me drag the next day.
>I was tagged by Marta at Marta’s Meanderings for a little photo meme. Here are the rules:
Find your 5th photo file folder,then the 5th photo in that file folder.
Post that picture on your blog.
Tag 5 others to do the same.
OK, I had to cheat a little, there was only one picture in my 5th photo file folder. So I believe this is from my 6th file folder but I still used the 5th photo. Here it is.
This was sent to me by e-mail. An amazing series of photos of the dog and bear, and the bear did not try to kill the dog. I don’t remember who sent this to me.
I’m going to cheat again and not tag anyone, just if you have 5 folders of pictures you should do this, it is fun. So the next five readers are tagged! LOL
>I am so happy to be home. I was thinking how great it was to be home. I didn’t even mind that it took 45 minutes to drive 2 miles in Queens this morning.
I took my shower so my legs are itching now from the dry skin. I was going to take a bath after my shower, but since Em had taken her bath before that there wasn’t enough hot water for me to have a hot bath. So I turned off the water and dried off and here I am. Freezing again after two nights in a hot hotel room. That had no tub in the bathroom.
As soon as I finish this post I have to take my contacts out, braid my hair and wash my face. I want to write my review of Dearly Devoted Dexter, but I think I will end up just going to bed. Kind of tired. So tired I can’t even remember what I was going to say.
I am going to post this picture that I took in Albany. I sent it to Tigger and he had a pithy response, something along the lines of how ridiculous it was to have an cigarette disposal next to a non-smoking sign. I don’t remember exactly what he said and I deleted the text, but it was appropriate.
>Don Mills Diva wrote a post recently, check it out and if you like it/agree with her copy the link and write a post about why your blog should be respected.
My blog started as a way to keep track of my Weight Watchers progress. I was hoping that putting my numbers ‘out there’ would help me stay on track. Well, Weight Watchers is not going so good, but I now have three blogs and am having a great time. I have this blog, a blog for books and a blog for crafts. Blogging is like a door to another world.
This has become my outlet for my thoughts, and that is all I ever wanted it to be, if you were to read my diary it is about the same. Nothing is too personal, that is still saved for my diary that is hidden in my . . . Well never mind I am getting off track. I don’t have a degree in journalism, or any degree for that matter, no one who tells me they like my blog goes on to ask, BTW Do you have a degree? Most comment on how beautiful my blog is, that makes me happy, probably the artist in me that wants everything I touch to be beautiful.
So merely the fact that I am a human being with feelings, this is not a computer stringing words together, I deserve respect and by extension so does my blog.
Thanks for listening.
>and I am so glad to be going home today, which you can probably tell by the fact I am blogging instead of downstairs enjoying the complementary breakfast.
This is a nice room and it is warm, perhaps a little too warm, the heat has raised dry skin patches on my legs and itching. No tub either. The only mirror is behind the sink so I have to lean across this counter to put in my contacts and put on my make-up which I definitely need cause my nose and surrounding check area look like crap. And since I forgot my bottle of Tylenol®, I had to pay $2 for 4 tablets. I am also bloated from not enough water and too much restaurant/deli food. Not to mention drinking every night!
I have also not had the time or energy to take care of my tag. I have not forgotten I am planning to do that tonight also, or maybe tomorrow. And there was a blog I read that I wanted to comment on. That will also have to wait. Until I do, I leave you with this thought.
>I had some clever thoughts to post today and I missed it, it is now tomorrow. And I was tagged for a picture but I can’t think to do it. I really should just forget it all and go to sleep. The problem is, the tag is from Marta’s Meanerings, and it is a picture tag, if you click the link you can see, my problem is, I don’t have 5 photo folders. I am at a lose as to what to do. So I am just going to sleep now and try to figure out something later.
>Here I am in Albany. Had some meeting today and after we went out, ate some food had some drinks. Came back to my hotel room, took off my jeans and got under the bedspread or comforter with my computer on my lap and promptly fell asleep. Woke up at 11:30.
I tried to keep reading the thread I was reading when I fell asleep but my contacts were cloudy and I couldn’t see it. So I went to take them out and almost couldn’t do it. I did get them out, drank some water, took some Tylenol® and use my inhaler. I need more Tylenol®.
There was a whole story involved with my drive into Albany this morning. Including no gas, no rear window wiper and wandering around the building until I found the room. A. Fuchs rescued me but I am too tired now to relate it. I am not even going to read the rest of the WW thread.
