One hump, or two?

A blog written in fear is a blog half written....

Happy Wednesday all!

So I have been feeling tired. I was thinking it was just me, but it seems everyone is a little sleepier than usual. Maybe it's the beautiful grey weather we are currently enjoying here. Don't get me wrong, outside of clearing my car of it each morning, the snow is beautiful. However, I don't like the dismal skies that accompany the snowfall. I also don't like that all my driving pet peeves seem to be multiplied in the snow, for instance people driving without their lights on in said dismal greyness and snowfall. Oh well, the ground hog said 6 more weeks of winter, and that was already over a week ago, so we are in the home stretch, right?

So, in cleaning the sty (and I mean this literally. When I say the place is a mess, I mean it...not like I used to say when the place was what most people call clean.) G and I found a Sears gift card from our wedding. We discovered it had a nearly $70 balance, and expired today. So, I finally got a scale, with a body fat calculator no less. We were hoping to put it towards an A/V receiver, or an area rug we saw there, but they no longer carry either item. So, I got to get two pairs of shoes to go with the new scale. Yay! I love new shoes. One pair is a chunky black Mary Jane, which will actually replace a pair I had to throw away (I had them for nearly 10 years, paid $5 for them, and they hung in that whole time) when the buckle fell off the right shoe. That was a year ago they passed, so I am happy to get this pair. The other pair is sort of a burgundy/brown T-strap MJ, that is also chunky. I found a cute pair of brown boots, but they had tons of them, so I just stuck with the MJs and firgured I would watch for the boots to be marked down more. I suppose we could have gotten something more useful, but we couldn't find anything to aid our current state of dissarray. Anyway, I look forward to wearing a new pair of shoes to work tomorrow!

As for the scale, I can now track my diet progress a little better. Even if the pounds don't drop so quickly, I hope I can make a sizeable dent in my body fat percentage. I'm down 10.5 pounds from starting the SBD. Yay! I am hoping once I get my wokrout space in usable condition, that will aid the loss of fat. I am well on my way to being a good trophy wife to G in time for his class reunion this June. i am even perfecting my trophy wife act, which resembles Juliette Lewis in Old School.

So, the big V-day is coming up. We are probably going to Olive Garden for an early dinner (to hopefully beat the crowds) and to a matinee film. I decided in advance the the diet will be abandoned for the weekend, and I will go to phase one on Monday, for a week. I am too excited to eat those nummy breadsticks, and pasta, and nummy dessert, and wine. I got something neat (I think) for G, so I hope he likes it. I would love to get him something really spectacular, but we be po. In a dream world, he would get me a pair of 1/2 carat tw stud earrings, or a 3 diamond ring, or a 3 diamond pendant (hmmm...is there a theme here??)...or a certain DVD set I may or may not be addicted to or a pair of dragon shoes that cost what I make in two weeks. However, I accept the reality, and would be thrilled with just about anything. Of course if that something were a chococat pill box, or a leather strap charm bracelet...all the better ;)

So I was telling G the other day, that my dear friend LaLa and I are like Dharma & Jane from Dharma and Greg or Grace & Karen from Will and Grace. Well, the first would be because of our strong resemblance, both in looks and the way we act. Las looks just like Jenna Elfman, and she is very free-spirited like Dharma. The latter is because we are a lot like them too. She is the tall one, with quirks, and I am the shorter one with big boobs and a drinking problem (that last part is mostly tongue in cheek!). Anyhoo, we were watching Will & Grace last night, and I pointed out to G that the episode was just like Las and me. Except Las would never pull anything out of the hamper to wear. Ewww. Of course, G is either Chandler from Friends, or JD from Scrubs. Etiher of those could be G. In fact, whenever we are watching either of those two shows, I am constantly looking at G, because those characters are constantly doing or saying things that could easily be said or done by G. So, if you have seen any of these shows....you practically know us.

I had lots of fantastic things I was going to write all about...but I don't have access to a computah at work...and I forgot them between then and now...so this will have to do. I promise I will be more endearing next time.
