Such an attitude, already!

I'm super tired today. I was supposed to get the tires on my car looked at. The front passenger side one keeps going low. Bleh, that means I need to get out of my pj's and into some real clothes. Sorry, Flylady, today I'm a big disappointment.

D has been a little big for his own good lately. When I tell him to do something, or rather NOT to do something, he looks me right in the eye, puts a finger on his lips and says "Shhhhhhhhh" slow and low. I know that means 'Shut the hell up Mom!'. Another thing that he's been doing is looking at me thru the corner of his eye and slowly pointing his little index finger at me. OH, and just right now when I told him not to point like that at me he actually covered his eyes with one hand and shook his head!! He is getting such an attitude!

I'm not sure what disciplinary action I need to take, but if he's acting like this now what will he be like in 10 years??

OK, I'm off to dress to shoes.

Happy Monday

Anniversary Trip

We (Big E and I) are going on an anniversary trip. D will be staying here with my MIL. He hasn't stayed with her for a while and she is up for the run of her life... Let's hope she's OK, I do really like her. E asked if we should send some movies. I said if he wanted a sane mom he would send some!

Big E and I will be staying at the Oregon Coast. That's where we've spent six out of seven of our anniversaries. We'll only be staying one night, which is really short for us, but we splurged and got a great room (ocean side but no jacuzi, I'm not bikini ready [or neked ready, for that matter!]) and rented a car(!) to drive over in. I told the reservation girl that I would prefer a Pontiac G6 or something like that (I got so many complements over that USA made car in Arizona) and it was so fun, easy and cool to drive, so let's see what we get. No matter what, it's new and special to us.

We leave next Monday. I can't wait!!!

Yes, because they don't hurt enough.

I've been reading some of the adds on Craigs*list. I love how guys will take pictures of themselves in different stages of dress or undress. I have never seen so many weird penises in my life.

I read this interesting add: Got breastmilk?

"Got Breastmilk??? Are you Lactating? Can I Have A Taste??? -

This handsome, married, WM 5'10@210 lbs is looking for mothers milk. Will gently massage tits and suckle each one. No sex involved. Can be a turn on for both people

All options open."

Gently massage? Suckle each one? And my fave: a turn on for both people. When you have huge, aching breasts with burning, cracked nipples it's hardly a turn on when they are touched.

This guy has a wife so you'd think he'd have a clue!!

Decorating

Recently, well last fall, we got ourselves some new couches. Our tables were fine but our couches were for shit. The one set of couches we had were ugly and worn out, they were hand me downs from my parents. The love seat was too soft and the couch had a piece of ply-board in it and the cushions were flat as a pancake. If you sat on it too long your legs would go to sleep. That set was in the TV room.

In our living room was an old, teal colored, vinyl good will chair. I loved that chair, but I did get rid of it. We also had a huge futon. Neither of those were stylish or comfortable.

Our new couches are much nicer, much more ass-compatable. They look better, even though they look too much alike, something that I didn't realise until I got them in the house.
The teal chair was replaced by a matching recliner, aka Daddy Bear Chair. I'm not alowed to sit on it if E wants to sit in it. That was one of the stipulations in getting new furniture. (Another one was that I'd keep the house perfectly clean for two year, that hasn't started yet!)

My biggest problem is that I don't know how to decorate. I feel that my house is so boring that I get embarrased for people to come over. I'm trying to fill my house with things I love and I don't really know what that is.

If anyone has great decorating taste out there can give me some ideas, I'd love it!!

Leave Harry alone!!

I am not a pervert. I'm not Mrs. Robinson. But I feel a stirring in my loins when I see those promo pics of Daniel Radcliffe in little or nothing for the play he's in (I've seen more nude pictures on the news).

I love how parents are so upset that their child's 'role model' is doing something so horrendous as "ACTING" and appearing nude for about 10 minutes in a play. They even want him replaced as Harry for the last two films.

Dear, dear parents: Harry Potter is not a role model. He is a fictional character that performs wizardry. Daniel Radcliffe is not Harry Potter. Why don't parents try to be wonderful, classy, kind, generous people and become role models for their children instead of pawning off the responsibilities on an actor trying to expand his horizon.

Not to mention giving me something to think about to keep my arousal going.

This post went totally different than where I wanted it to go.

Crying and Girl Scout cookies

Blogger I making me cry. Real tears! I couldn't log on yesterday and I was so frustrated and pissed and sobbing. I finally found the solution and I think I'll be ok now. It's about time!

I bought some Girl Scout cookies last Friday and they weren't as great as I remembered. My favorite has always been the Tag-a-longs, the peanut butter and chocolate ones. But I didn't have the urge to eat the whole box. A few years ago I literally did eat the whole box in one sitting. They were awesome. I thought maybe I was having great willpower. Ha! I can now resist that Girl Scout crack!! But then I came across this:

What about Girl Scout Cookies and partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats)?

For several decades, it was thought that partially hydrogenated oils–sometimes referred to as trans fats–were a healthier food choice compared with saturated fats. In recent years, data has emerged suggesting that, in fact, trans fats are not a healthier choice than saturated fats. Girl Scouts of the USA is proud to announce that all Girl Scout cookies are now "zero trans fat per serving" with the same great taste that has made them one of America's favorite treats over the years. While some "zero trans fat per serving" varieties of Girl Scout cookies were available in 2005 and 2006, this year all varieties will contain less than 0.5 grams trans fat per serving, which meets or exceeds the FDA guidelines for the "zero trans fat" designation.

Girl Scouts of the USA has worked diligently with our bakers over the past several years to address the issue of trans fats. We began listing the amount of trans fats one full year before FDA requirements went into effect. It is important to remember that Girl Scout Cookies are a snack food and are meant to be consumed in limited quantities within the context of a balanced diet. So that consumers can make an informed choice, the ingredients and nutritional profile of each variety are clearly listed on both the cookie box and the cookie order form.


Could this be the reason the cookies didn't appeal to me? Will the removal of trans-fat significantly change the taste of the food it's removed from?

I'll lose weight not because I'm not eating trans-fat but because food will taste not-so-great.

Diet pill

Fat-blocking pill will be sold over the counter!

I took Zenical in 2000 and while I didn't lose weight on it I did experience some of the side affects. Such Fun.

We had taken our moms out for Mother's Day brunch and I had eaten what ever I liked. Of course none of it healthy, but who cared? A third of the fat that I was eating wouldn't be absorbed! Yay, time to splurge!

The next day I was headed off to classes, dressed in my cute black corderoy over-alls, the ones that I had to pin closed as something happened to the clasps. I got to the front door when I had a huge gas pain, and doubled over some. I thought I was letting gas out when I felt a warmness on my butt! I tried to stop it but there was no way it would stop. I ran to the bathroom all the while trying to unpin those damn overall. By the time I reached the bathroom I had no choice but to just get in the shower. Stinky, smelly, oily stool was everywhere. My stomach felt horrible and I was so embarrassed. What if I had already been in school when this hit? I called in sick to class and stayed on the pot for most of the day.

I threw the rest of the pills out!

I'm not so sure I'll be running down to my local drug store to pick these up. But if you can resist eating fatty foods, these may work for you.

I was down 1.5 lbs today, total of 9 lbs down. I can't decide if I want Mondays or Fridays as weigh-in days.

I guess I'll see you whenever...

Hmmm, I see there is no way to ignore the New Blogger Bull Shit, so we'll see. I have not had success on it and I know that a lot of people have lost their archives, have not been able to log on, and just general bull shit that goes on when a program "updates" to a "better" system. Now I see that they have taken all the old tools off our create-a-post area. Very nice. The best part of all is that if you have a problem it is *so easy* to get a hold of them. *these stars indicate SARCASM*!*!*!!!!!!

So, if I'm still here tomorrow and the next day, I'll be surprised and happy.

7.5 lbs down

In the last month or so I have lost 7.5 pounds. Wow, I'm pretty happy. The highest weight I reached was 261 and that number made me cry my eyes out. I didn't want my weight to get any higher.

I have been trying to make small changes, the main one is eating dinner on a small plate. At first it was hard, I felt like I wasn't eating enough and I felt dumb for some reason, a little over dramatic, 'Look at me, I'm eating on this tiny, little plate'. But now after quite a few weeks of doing it it's easy and I feel full, I also find that I'm eating slower and that helps too.

Other changes? Sitting at the dining room table for ALL meals, and not eating in front of the TV.

I'm not expecting myself to work wonders, but hopefully I'll be able to make little changes that will turn into big changes.

I still need to move my ass, though.
