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 wonder why it didn’t work on the other one. HMM.

At first I thought I had gone up, but when I looked at my sheet, I saw I was the same. Considering yesterday I didn’t drink all my water, had a beer and cookie for dinner and ice cream cake for a snack, I consider staying the same a victory.

Mel threw down the gauntlet, Grace has declined to pick it up. Cookie thinks it is because Mel posted it last night and no one has read it. I think it is because Grace is chicken. Anyway, Mel has not answered my e-mail. I hope she is not mad at me for dropping the ball yesterday. I can be a real idiot sometimes. I hate to grovel but I feel like doing.

On a happier note, I got M’s tickets for Manhattan, one more week and a day before we go! I am so happy, but I need to wash clothes so my capris that I plan on wearing are clean. I asked M if she thought it would be warm enough to wear our short sleeved tops, she said, it might be cool in the evening and we might have to buy a sweater! I love the way she thinks.

Busy day ahead ‘sigh’

August 16, 2008

I have already done a lot today, for me that is, I ate breakfast, went to Lily’s, forgot to stop at the library and put a load of clothes in the washer, as soon as it is done, I am hanging it up and then making some eggs cause I am hungry again! Well it is 11:00 and cereal never stays with me long. I finished Blue Diary, finally! I have to write a review, I have a lot to say about it. I thought it was a very good book. I listened to a little bit of Mortal Fear on my computer, I will finish listening to it on my MP3 player. The last time I tried listening to a book, it expired and I never got it from the library to read it, I just lost interest in it. My weight is up from last week, but it may be down before I weigh in, since it is down from yesterday. I will just be so careful today, which will be hard since I am going to a barbecue today. I will just have to do my best. Em wants to go shopping so we will probably leave early. And I just found out I have hall cleaning, so I will have to do that after I hang up my clothes and eat.

Well, I had to spin my clothes out again. So I didn’t get to the hall. I also didn’t know what time the barbecue was. I found out, I hung my clothes up. I brought the dry clothes in my room and threw them on my bed, I will take care of them later. My GPS wouldn’t turn on when I left for the barbecue so I was driving down the street looking for the road her house is on and didn’t know if I had passed it or not, so I turned off and around, I finally got the GPS on and put the wrong street in! By this time, Em was texting me, “Are you lost?” If I don’t use my GPS for a long time, it won’t turn on when I need it. Since I know this, I should turn it on the day before I need it. But I never remember this. Anyway, Em and I left the barbecue early, we weren’t having a good time, the food was awful and not a very good variety, and nothing to do, just sit around and talk, Stitch was getting antsy with the people and Gwen was still not feeling well. So we went home, Em and I went to Allsport, then the mall. We got makeup and I got a skirt at, duh, can’t remember, it was $10 originally $40. Now it is 1:30 am so I should get to bed, but before I do, watched the new show on BBC America called Primeval. Had a scary centipede on it, about 8 feet long and poisonous.

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.

Phone not working

Filed under: Health, Technology, Weather
August 14, 2008

Well, not really, I just have problems if I go online. I thought it might be because I now have 1,000 messages in my AOL inbox, but when I signed off and tried to send a text, the phone froze up so I had to take the battery out to use the phone, I couldn’t even turn it off. So now I am just killing time because I am so tired and I just want to go home.

It was raining so heavy this morning the backyard looked like the everglades. Except no gators.

When I got home, Tigger wanted to look at my phone to see what it was doing, of course, it didn’t make the lines across the touch screen when he was playing with it. No, couldn’t misbehave for beloved Tigger could it?

I am almost done with Murder in the Adirondacks. I have finished the account of the murder and trial and execution, now he is writing about how the novel “An American Tragedy” came about.

Got the score for the football game: Steelers 21, Bills 24

And Cookie sent me an e-mail, could it be Grace is taking a supplement and that is why she is losing so much weight? I mean, 25 pounds in 5 weeks. I keep forgetting to ask M about it. I am sure she would have an opinion. I told her about the Chipotle flavored olive oil, so of course she had me get some for her, then she put it in her oil mister thing so she could spray it on her popcorn. I didn’t try any, but I am sure it is delish.

Home today

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.

>Saving my battery

Filed under: Uncategorized
August 8, 2008

>My phone battery has been dieing every day, must be because I keep sending e-mails with it. So I am starting on my computer this a.m.

My weight this morning was 138.00 with clothes. I forgot to weigh until I got dressed and then thought, what the hey, so I am pleasantly surprised. However my official W.I. isn’t until Monday so it could go up before then. Well I really have to go to work now.

>Paranoia is not pretty

Filed under: Uncategorized
August 7, 2008

>Someone was telling me about her daughter’s first date and what a gentleman he was and all I could think was, or he’s a control freak, like my ex who before the relationship was over told me what color lipstick and nail polish to wear! Of course I didn’t say anything, because some men are gentlemen and nice to their girls just because they like it.

I went to my blog on my phone and it looked like I could edit my post, so I typed this big long thing about how I felt I was being stalked by Grace and that I had sent an e-mail to Melva about it and what Cookie said about her winning. I suppose I could just ignore her and go on like she is not there but it is hard! Anyway after I typed all that, it wouldn’t publish, so here I am again sending an e-mail.

The reason I felt I was being stalked is I went to post on Journal Challenge and she had posted there! I suppose she could have just found it because she does post to several threads. Anyway, what Cookie said is the if I quit posting, she wins. I don’t want to stop posting to Journal Challenge because it is helping me stay on track. I have lost a total of 4 pounds. Of course that might change by my official W.I. day, but for now I am HAPPY!

I ordered an epilator for M. She has been looking for one, but hasn’t been able to find one that says you can use it on your face. I got a Slim one at Target and saw in the brochure that this company makes an epilator ‘gentle enough to remove individual hair on the upper lip, chin’ so I ordered it. The company name is Emjoi. Check it out.

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!
