Hey I’ll take another two-tenths of a pound - together with yesterday’s two-tenths, it’s almost a half a pound altogether and that ain’t small potatoes at all.  Okay, the fact that just this past Saturday I weighed almost a pound less than I do now, that may be buggin’ me a little… but I’ll get over it.  Because that pound will come off.  Eventually.  I’ll be sure to wave goodbye to it when it does.  =D

Tonight was the high school football game and this time I felt up to going.  I’m glad I did!  I’m not really all that much into football (I’m mostly there because Kevin’s in the band) but what an incredible game!  Our boys played so well, pretty much everyone was amazed.  All the parents in the stands at our games are pretty much resigned to losing because, well, we usually do.  The fact that our team members have the highest average GPA in the county - eleven years running! - kinda takes the sting out of it though.  We don’t care if our future doctors and lawyers win a high school football game!  But BOY!  When they DO!!  It’s really fun! 

Kevin plays the drums (he’s the only snare player) and he’s really good at it.  Tonight the drum line did a little exhibition of their own and my son was out there drummin’ like a wild man, dancin’ and rockin’!!!!  I was so proud!

One thing I noticed tonight while watching him move around the field - - his uniform is way too big!!  I can’t believe the band instructor hasn’t noticed this.  He was fitted for that uniform last year and he’s lost 25 lbs. since then!  He totally needs a smaller size!

Speaking of which, I wore a pair of khaki pants to work today, which I haven’t worn in over a year.  One of my co-worker noticed, she said, “You’re lookin’ cute!  Are those new pants?”  I did a little twirl / dance in the middle of the room.  Woohoooo!

Two-tenths of a pound.  Hey, I’ll take it.  =D  Anything downward is good with me!

Tonight was my daughter’s high school chorus concert.  I knew that I was going to be getting home pretty late for dinner so I made sure to eat before I left the house.  I had to be on the road by 5:15 so I started cooking at 4:30 this afternoon, made hamburgers on the stove, then split one in half and ate that, saving the rest for when I got home, which I figured would be after 8:30 or so.  Ha!  The concert was way longer than I expected, so I didn’t get home until after 10:00!

Today at work my friend/co-worker (the one that was in the video with me) wanted to get some exercise after lunch so we plugged in the DDR and put about 45 minutes in.  She was cracking me up!  She picked up the basics pretty quick (quicker than I did) and so we play on the same level.  Today she kept saying, “OMG I sucked! We gotta do that one again!”  We did one song about five times in a row and halfway through each time we’d both start laughing because the song was so fast and our feet weren’t cooperating.  LOL it’s a hoot!

When I first bought the DDR pad, I also bought the Ultramix 3 game.  Then when I bought the second pad, I also bought the original Ultramix and Ultramix 2.  Well, the original one is hard, really hard.  I’m so not ready for that yet.  I like UM2 a lot but the DVD I bought was used and it’s a little damaged.  Sometimes words don’t show up or they’re garbled and sometimes the dancer is just a pulsating blob.  It’s actually pretty amusing.

Anyway, there’s a song on the UM2 game that we danced to and so I had it stuck in my head most of the rest of the afternoon.  The song is called “Rubbernecking,” it’s an old Elvis song that I don’t remember hearing before I saw the TV show Las Vegas (Ohhhh I miss Josh Duhamel!).  Annnnnyway, this evening at the chorus concert, that was one of the songs they sang!  Geez, what a weird coincidence.
