>Down to Manhattan

Filed under: Uncategorized
September 13, 2010

>The train is not just for going to work. I like to take the train to spend the day in the city. Like last Saturday, Em and I spent all day in the city. Got back in time to watch the Yankees lose …. but I’m not going to think about that right now.

The day started with my trip to Weight Watchers (something else I’m not talking about) and we went to breakfast then the train, I missed the memo about that and didn’t have my face on. So our first stop in the city was at Sephora’s so I could get moisturizer with sunscreen. Then we headed up to the crocs store. Em was hoping they would be having clearance sales. They weren’t. But I’m getting ahead of myself. On the way to the Crocs store, Em stopped at this vendor with a sign, $5 glass jewelry. She motioned me to come, “These are kind of pretty.” Even though the Crocs store wasn’t having a clearance sale, she still found some nice sandals, funny shaped I thought but she said they were very comfortable, and in light blue. Next we went to Cafe Frida, our favorite Mayan restaurant for a light lunch, that ended up leaving us full for the rest of the day.

We were walking through Central Park and suddenly Em stopped. “All these times and I never noticed that.” I looked where she was pointing at a water fountain. We watched as a boy pushed a button at the bottom of the fountain and his poodle took a drink. After they left left I walked over and took a closer look. The bottom of the fountain is a bowl, and the spout put water into the bowl, for your dog. New Yorkers love their pets. I thought that was pretty cool. I mean, obviously, cause I took a picture of it.

We then went down to see Ashley so Em could get prices on jewelry and Ashley could look at my ear. My sore pierced ear, except it is no so sore anymore, and very, very pretty.

And I can’t remember what else? We ended up at the Irish pub eating nachos with cheesecake for dessert and I had Kahlua and club soda. Long tiring but fun day.

>Saturday weigh in

Filed under: Beauty
July 3, 2010

>I didn’t report last weeks weight because I was up, which upset me. Not that I wasn’t expecting it, I was actually expecting it to be more, just upset at how I ate to cause the up. But I was -1.6 pounds this week for a grand total of -3.2 pounds and I am now below 140 yay! Happiness.

Now I am heading down to NYC get my tattoo. I am very nervous, I always get this way before a tattoo. Start wondering if I should really be doing this … I have no regrets, yet.

>I saw a deer

Filed under: Uncategorized
June 14, 2010

>Day 3 of Weight Watchers, and it is harder then I remember. Either that or I just have gotten used to eating whatever I want, which of course is why I gained 25 pounds. Now don’t worry, I’m not going to start listing what I ate here, I do that on Facebook. Right now I am not really changing what I am eating, just cutting out the junk. Now I am the ‘if I eat it I have to count it’ and when I look at how many points is in a bag of chips …. I weighed myself and I am up a pound from Saturday. No, I don’t think I have gained, it was the end of the day and Saturday I weighed in the morning.

The plan was also to get back to Allsport, except when I got home my car was not here. So instead I went for a walk. Gwen went with me, we walked to Ron’s then home. On the way home, walking past the park I looked up on the grass and a deer was standing there watching us. I stopped Gwen and pointed she looked up at the deer and I gave it a little wave, when I did that it flipped its tail at me. No I am not kidding, making this up or delusional. I was getting my phone out to take a picture when it really started waving its tail around and I knew it was gonna run away, and it did.

This is not the first time I have seen deer in this park, once before I saw a whole family. The really amazing thing? This park is in the middle of town.

>Two things of note from yesterday

Filed under: Beauty — 2 Comments
June 13, 2010

>I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting. I have finally realized that I can’t do it on my own or do it online. So I have taken the plunge and paid for the monthly pass and I will lose these 25 pounds. So that’s it. And since I write everything about my life on here, I will of course keep you updated.

After the meeting Em and I went to the Yankee game, they won and then we went to Manhattan, walked through Central Park and Madison to GCT. Stopped at Bolton’s and Sephora, I bought eye shadow and didn’t check the color so I got the wrong color. Don’t know if I can return it, but I’m going to try. Then Annie Moore’s for dinner and then home.

A very good day.

What was I saying?

Filed under: Beauty
February 23, 2010

I have this thing where I feel I need to write things in sequential order. For example, I don’t want to blog about Monday before I blog about the weekend. Not that anything exciting happened either time. Just that my thoughts about Monday have to come after my thoughts about the weekend. Which is kind of stupid, I think, but I still have a problem with it. I could always blog about my weekend now in this e-mail post, but I had pictures to go with it. Not special pictures, just of the mountain and the clouds.

Last night I was going to post the pictures and everything, but I won an award on my other blog so I had to take care of that. Acceptance speech, where to send the money, who to invite to the ceremony, I kid. After I did all that is involved in a blog award it was late and I had to check my messages and then had to reply. There are some people I drop everything to reply to. There are others … well you know. It’ll be a cold day in ….
On Saturday Em and I ordered tires for Amy. Stitch has been having to put air in one of the tires every other day, or every third day, I forget. So the tires are ordered and when they come in he can take the car and get the tires put on. Then we went to Danbury since she wanted to go to Sephora. Of course that is a dangerous place to go for me, I now want some glitter eyeshadow from Urban Decay. I put some on and it looked so cool. OK I now have my happenings out of order, I will just have to deal.
On the way to Danbury she told me D has decided on surgery rather then radiation treatments. Actually she told me Friday, in a text message, in her text message she said, “If momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy”. Saturday she told me, ‘D told the kids last night he was having surgery.’ It is scheduled for May 4 which coincidentally is the day before their anniversary. I’m guessing, (and this is just a guess, based on previous conversations with her) that when she told him that if he got his parts irradiated, there would be no sex until the radiation was out of his system, he started leaning toward surgery. Sometimes, men are so easy. When they are not being freakin’ idiots that is.
There was more I was going to say, it has departed the brain. Yesterday morning I was 135.8, so I am happy happy. 20 pounds to go to my goal goal, .8 to my first goal. With a little bit to lose, I celebrate every 5 pounds.

>6:18 a.m.

March 9, 2009

>Back to my regular schedule today. Stitch dropped me off and I caught the 6:18 train to NYC. I have to get back in the routine since next month I might have to catch the 5:57. If things go the way I want that is. Now you may be wondering why someone who HATES to get up in the morning wants to leave a half hour earlier. It is the compressed work week I mentioned before, compressed work week is what the State calls it. I call it the 9/10 schedule, where I will be working 9 days instead of 10 in a pay period, which means longer days but a day off every other week.

It was in the 40’s when I left the house so I didn’t wear my scarf, now I wish I had since it feels colder here. Probably the damp is holding the temperature down and it is not really colder, just feels that way. Its raining now and I have to go out for lunch, I hopes it stops.

Oh and I was 138.0 this morning. With my sweat shirt on. I was too cold to take it off and weigh myself. Didn’t want to stand there in the cold. The first time I weighed myself I was 136.6, but the scale shifted when I stood on it, so I moved it so to where it would not shift and then I was 138, which is probably correct.

>Yes I still have a cold. Still coughing and congested. I stayed home from work and now am watching the boys play with the Wii (see below post). They stopped boxing, mainly because Tigger’s arm was so sore it was about to fall off. So now they are playing with polar bears and arctic foxes.

All I did today was two loads of laundry, easy loads, sheets and whites. I should go finish them now.

Today was weigh in and I lost 1.2 pounds. Yay! Maybe cause I was sick and not eating all weekend, but I will take it. And hope for a maintain or loss however small this week.

>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.

>Write on! Respect the Blog

Filed under: Miscellanea — 1 Comment

>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.
