>I am so tired and hungry

>I hate having to wait until I get to work to eat. The thing is, I would have to get up at 4:00 am to be able to have breakfast at home. That is something that will never happen. So I am stuck just dealing with it. Real age says to lose weight you need to eat within an hour of rising. Maybe that is why my weight lose averages 0.4 a week and M’s is 2 pounds a week!

There is a raffle at GCT. Two cars, one is a gunmetal gray, Maserati Quattroporte and the other is a cherry red Maserati Gran Turismo. They are selling 400 tickets at $1,000 a ticket for the Quattroporte car. That means the car is $400,000. They are selling 300 tickets at $1,000 a ticket for the Gran Turismo, so it is only $300,000. Click this link to read the article in the New York Times. So someone is going to get a car worth at least $300,000 dollars for $1,000. It won’t be me, I am trying to sell the car I have! I remember another raffle they had, the Maserati was tangerine (really!) and the doors opened up. That was a very cool car.

I had a ‘only in New York’ thought when I was crossing the street coming into work from the 7 train. “Only in New York would you find a bunch of remotes scattered all over the street.”

My boss is still trying to get the address to my blog. He asked for an excerpt from it. I didn’t want to because I thought he meant send him a link to a post from the blog and then he would be able to find it, so he said no do a cut and paste. So I did the one from homecoming, making sure to take out any links to my blog in the document.

>Just finished lunch

>instead of my usual I got a panini. It was good but I have a feeling I will regret it.

I don’t know why I didn’t say this last night but D forgot to come get me last night. I started walking, then decided walking home cause I was mad was not a good use of my time so I called him. Now he says to send him a text to remind him when he is supposed to come get me. Then later he says something like, if you are still seriously thinking about moving to … Still! I’ve only been thinking about it for three years! He was thinking about using my room for an office, he also offered to make me a futon which would be nice but might be unnecessary. Some of the apartments have murphy beds.

I was right about the nessi pot, she was talking about a ‘neti’ pot.

As expected I now have a stomach ache and I had to use my inhaler. Probably from the mustard, or maybe because the panini I had was next to the tuna panini, might have been some cross contamination going on there.Anyway my legs are shaking and I am having chills from the albuteral.This is what I should think of when I want somthing I shouldn’t have, how icky I feel after, even getting my fingers to work on this keyboard is hard. Ok, gotta go now.

This evening has not improved my mood. I wanted to leave early but I had to do something for the boss and it took me until 4:20. Then when I was at the subway, the subway that came in was packed! I was trying to get in and people kept bumping and pushing me, so I just stepped back, I was a little miffed. My claustrophobia had gotten the better of me. It turned out ok, the next train got in a minute after and not only was it not crowded, there were seats available! So I got to sit to GCT.

On the Metro North train I was also able to find a seat facing forward. This woman came to sit with me and she was ugh, bigger than Em. Then she fell asleep and started leaning toward me, soon she was not really leaning on me, but touching. I did not get any reading done.

I had to go get Gwen so no Allsport tonight. I could have gone if I rushed, but after all that happened today and Em asked me to put the food away so I didn’t just went up to get Gwen. Then she fell getting in the car! Then she started sniffing. She never said anything, but I think she sort of blamed me. Anyway, I just have to take a shower and then this day will be over.

>Weight Watchers Progress

Filed under: Miscellanea — 2 Comments
October 6, 2008

>I keep forgetting to do this. My weight is 136.6 lbs. In the 14 weeks since I recommitted I have lost 5.2 pounds. That is an average of 0.4 per week. I am 4.6 pounds heavier then when I first joined WW. It may not seem like a lot, but since I only have about twenty pounds to lose it is a lot to me and as someone said, I am going in the right direction now.

On another totally unrelated subject, when I was looking up tea at Amazon, and saw that PG Tips was $8 for a box, I decided that I would try to find PG Tips locally and if it wasn’t too expensive buy it. Hannaford’s had it, I wasn’t too surprised by that, and even though it was twice the price of the tea I normally buy, it was actually less then Twinings. It comes in these cute triangle bags, well actually they are a pyramid, no string but the bag came to the top of the water so I could grab it with my fingers. As for the taste, mmm I love tea.

Tonight when I was trying to make a cup with dinner, the pot kept turning off but the water wasn’t boiled, Fred was turning it off, he thought it was turning on by itself! Such a silly boy. Now I have to go get Gwen. I will be back later.

>I Love Tea

>and I have to agree with ‘BOOW‘ that Lipton is rubbish. Actually I think he said that ALL American tea is rubbish.

Have I ever said that I like the way the British use the word ‘rubbish’? They use it for lots of things, not just when they are talking about trash. Also, I like the way my mouth feels when you say it, my lips smack together on the b’s.

Back to tea, I was going to try a British tea so I went to Amazon and ‘GASP’ $8.00+ for a box of tea?! Well, I’m American so I think I can be forgiven for sticking with Twinings. Besides I can buy Twinings loose. The loose tea is what is in the jar, which is actually an olive jar. I kept spilling the tea when I was wrestling with the tin it came in. These little jars are quite handy, I use one as a little bank on my desk at work.

Got these dollar coins when I bought M’s train ticket. I noticed there was no date on them. The date is on the edge of the coin. Date, ‘E pluribus unum’, and ‘In God We Trust’. Pretty cool huh? And speaking of coins, I just brought home a bunch in a ziploc baggie. I need to roll them so I can cash them in.

>I cannot think of a clever title

Filed under: Miscellanea
September 22, 2008

>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.

>Headache is back

Filed under: Uncategorized
September 21, 2008

>I didn’t get up today until 10:45. My head is pounding right now, I either need some caffeine or some food.

The dress I got fits, sort of, it is a little tight around the arms, and I wore the wrong bra, the straps were showing in the back. My green sweater matches so I wore it over the dress. It is the straight one with the graduated flower print. I just checked my mail and the WW website so I am going now to get some food. I may be back later.

I watched the first DVD of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and the movie ‘Lemony Snicket’s – A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was kind of cute. Three orphans, a clueless banker and policeman, and a villain played by Jim Carey. I think I will watch another episode of Criminal Intent then go to bed. Maybe that will get rid of my headache.

>Changed my mind

September 20, 2008

>I was just going to tack this on to the other post but well, thought I should start another. After I posted this morning, I went to Allsport with Em. Well, first we went to lunch at Panera, then after Allsport we went to the mall. Her DVD player quit and so she was thinking about getting another one. We ended up both getting portable DVD players, Philips, they are pink for Susan Komen Breast Cancer. After we got home, I went to the library to return my books and decided to pick up some movies to watch on my new DVD player. I haven’t yet because Forensic Files was on and then Primeval. So now I am back on my computer and don’t really have time to watch a movie.

On another subject, one of my dresses came. If it fits, I am wearing it tomorrow for service and the meeting.

Not much left to say, I am going to check WW and then maybe watch something on BBC America’s website.

Win a book

Filed under: Family N Friends
August 30, 2008

Hi there my friends and readers, I entered a contest to win a book. This is one of the ways to enter, by posting about it on my blog. The books are Tess Gerritsen. Go to Jen’s Bookshelf to see it and enter for yourself. I found out about the contest on Shelfari. I don’t need more books, but I love getting free stuff. Like the free Pill compacts I got from Ortho Tri-Cyclen Low, and the thing to pour your beer to get a perfect head on it, when I don’t drink that brand of beer!

Sunday headache

Filed under: Family N Friends, Health
August 24, 2008

This morning I got up to go out in service, but started feeling bad so I laid back down, then M called and I told her I wasn’t feeling well she was “I wish you had told me”, so I started to feel like a bad friend, so I got dressed and went out, but she had already left and so I didn’t get to work with her. I didn’t get to talk to anybody. But had an ok time, but by the time I got home, I had a headache and was feeling like I wanted to throw up. I went to the meeting anyway, Gwen drove me, then she drove me home early cause I wasn’t feeling any better. I am now, I had some caffeine.

Tigger just asked if he could download an album from the Frey with Pepsi points. I shouldn’t have told him we had 80 Pepsi points.

Gwen and I went to Ron’s. We got ice cream for ourselves and Stitch and Tigger, Fred wasn’t around, now Tigger wants to go driving. I really don’t, my head is STILL killing me.

Took Tigger driving, he just wanted to drive around the block since he hadn’t driven in ‘like two months’, so I was cool with that. Then I laid down and fell asleep, with my contacts in again! Now they are out so everything is blurry. Sometimes that is a good thing.

Like I told someone, tea with Splenda will cure almost anything. It took care of my tummy. Didn’t take care of my smelly pits, neither did the powder so when I finish here I will have to go wash before bed. I have decided I am going to read my Jack London, just because I have nothing else to read tomorrow and they are short.
