Tee Hee

I am happy. I have had a good day. Went to Savers on 7200 South and got some awesome deals. Talked to JS for hours on end. Bleached my hair. Made ropa vieja for dinner. Fixed my sewing machine and sewed the sleeves of my new "I'm the Boss" tee shirt-courtesy of the one and only aforementioned JS. What does tomorrow hold??

My Best Friend..

Has always been cooler than me.

As evidenced by this picture of me in Hand Bell choir

Travels 600 miles just to cook me dinner and listen to Neil Young albums.

And cleaned up after wards!

Puts up with me insisting on taking pictures of us in front of dumb stuff

(and has put up with it since 1998).

Oooh, really?
A bus ride warrants a picture?


 Adds to my collection of Catholic kitsch every time he visits.

Our Savior Air Freshener: Formally Blessed by a real priest!

Had to go back to work today :(

Making these.

Another reason to shop at Winco..

Convict bread.
I guess this ex con, Killer Dave (who probably really did murder someone...I'm not going to read his bio because the one I am making up in my head for him is surely juicier than Dave's real life story), turned his life around after serving time in the clink for 15 years and makes bread now. Really. Good. Bread.
Serio--check it out. Dave's Killer Bread.

Over it.

Remember when people didn't know what you did from one day to the next? I do, it was before Facebook. I vow from this day forward to not put dumb personal blurbs up on FB anymore. In fact, I am not even posting status updates that have anything to do with my personal life. I have noticed that everything I put up can be totally misread or read into only to be completely misconstrued. 99% of the time, I am just typing out of my ass. I promise I don't sit around and think of what to update on FB, or how my status post is going to affect you. Who does that? Not me. Goodbye personal Facebook status updates.
P.s. Don't ask me questions on FB that you don't want answers to..
P.p.s. Just because I don't announce it on Facebook doesn't mean I am hiding it.

Hall & Oates...ala The Bird and The Bee.

So, I love The Bird and The Bee. How did I miss this album??

Just me.

I will always be the kind of person that assumes if you disappear in the middle of a texting conversation it means you have been murdered or died in some other fashion. Just so you know, that is the conclusion I will automatically jump to.

Food.

So, I lost some (a crapload) of weight over the last 7 months and I thought I would finally blog about it a little bit. Yes, I did it with the help of HCG, and yes, I wouldn't have been able to lose the amount of weight I did otherwise. Does that make my weight loss any less valid? Nope. Suck on that.
HCG is a strict diet program..like you have a list of foods that are okay to eat and that is it. You know exactly what to eat, how much and how often, and if you deviate from the diet you will not lose weight. I pretty much didn't buy food for 3 months that was not on the HCG protocol.

130 pounds January 2011

Now that I am off the diet, grocery shopping has been interesting to say the least. I find myself walking around to my old haunts (cereal aisle, frozen potato products, chips..), but because I have not been in the habit of purchasing these items I have the mind set to walk away and think, "This crap is not good for me. Therefore, I will not buy it".

170ish pounds..July or August of 2010

 

So, yeah. I am figuring out how to feed myself..
