Whew... the lunch is over. Spent my early afternoon hanging around the garage pal-ing around with the guys. What fun. What a sexy bunch. Now I'm at work. Ugh.
The think the day is a bust points wise. I was sampling all morning, so I have no idea how many points I actually used. I hate that; I'd rather know, even if i went over.
But I'll try to take it easy the rest of the day.
I weighed myself at home this morning and, believe it or not, it said 250.5. I don't believe it for a minute -- must have been from sweating all morning in a hot kitchen. I don't count anything as official until I see it on the WW scale. But it was nice to see that 250, even if just briefly! Reminded me that it's close by.
Oh, yeah, and I'm SOOOOO glad everyone got such a chuckle out of my temporary insanity this morning! Actually, I really am!
Maggie! If you make me pee my pants one more time I'm seriously going to get a torch! You crack me up, girlfriend. Also, I like what you say here:

I assure you, you are already victorious, and I am proud of all you've come through already- that goes for everyone. I have faith the size of the universe that you and I and all our sistas are heading for sure victory. This time, I don't mind being a loser!!!
HH, I am thinking of you and empathizing. I remember all too well the rollercoaster of emotions, and I know it is hard, all of it- your situation is your own, and even if you don't feel as though you're in control you are. And you'll make it through (do you hate it when people say that? I do, sorry!) and we'll be here the whole way with you. Hugs, higs, pigs, and pugs.
Now I've forgotten- who made vacation goal? Amy? Well, congrats big time!! WOOHOO!
Misty, my oh my, I'll envy your bright and sunny yellow, but I wish I could be there to help! What a nightmare- Lisa and I painted the entire first floor of our house once and had to do two coats because I bought crappy paint... It looks nice, though- the walls in the living-dining-library (which is just an open space near the front entry that is inhabited only by many overflowing bookshelves) has alternating walls of light blue and green, and though it might SOUND hideous, it makes one feel as though they are sitting inside of a robin's egg- very peaceful. I guess it was worth it, and I'm sure your project will be as well.
Steph- I'm glad you're thinking about keeping to the meetings afterall. I never really cared for them, so I don't miss them, but if it is time that you enjoy, it is important. I love your attitude, too- I think my big loss last WI was from complaining and whining about my previous week's standstill. That must burn calories, no?
Cal, you go girl. I love Faerie Queen and haven't read it since I was an undergrad- now I want to read it again, but do you want to take bets on how long it will be before I read something purely for pleasure?? I can't even get to the newspaper most days!!!
Ok.... This post is horribly long. And no dancing bananas. I hope you're not disappointed with me. I have more to say about my own day, so I'm going to post again! I'm shooting for taking up a whole page to myself! Stay tuned!!!
BTW, who posted while I was on vacation "Who oiled the armadillo?" That made me laugh hard enough to pee my pants as well... Was it YOU, Maggie?
Hey Sistas,
I broke my own rule this morning and did my hair with my glasses on and looking into a mirror. I looked really looked at my arms and I said out loud girl where were you when you did this to yourself.... Anyone else have this experience when you really can't believe the way you look. Was I just totally delusional? Well my eyes have been opened. This has got to go away!
I still haven't eaten and I know that is bad bad bad so I promise to eat as soon as I am done here. What have I been doing besides eating, you ask?
Well, the person that showed up to the door when I was about to cook was a guy- ahem, a man - named Pete who once came to the house and fixed my computer for me. He has a little business of his own. Anyway, we hit it off very well that day, and I've always kicked myself for not just jumping the gun (which I do so often) and asking him out. I mean, c'mon- the guy recognised my big picture of Kurt Vonnegut by my computer and said "There's my man Kurt!" and later, while he was waiting for some process to run on the computer and I was busy attending to a friend who had stopped by he pulled out a copy of Kerouac's On the Road!
Anyway, needless to say i was ecstatic to see him show up unannounced. He did not, however, ask me out, and once again I'm irritated that I didn't do it. Guys like that, don't they? When girls ask them out? I wouldn't know- I'm 31 and divorced and haven't been around dating for TOO LONG... Anyway, he wanted to know if the apartment next door was still available and sadly it is not. But we talked for about 15 minutes and I played with his two dogs- I said "Where've you been? I haven't seen you down at the pit" (You know, the little lake I swim at) and he said he's been there often and hadn't seen me either- nice to know he was looking for me, eh?
Anyway, I won't give you all the details of our conversation, but in the course of it he did make it clear that he was not seeing anyone, and at one point he even said, "I mean, I'd like to get married someday, so I suppose I will need to be dating, I think that is how it works." (In reference to the fact that his current roommate gets irritated when he brings a girl over to the house) I did mention I was taking my boy to the pit tonight and he said maybe he'd see me there. So... I've spent the better part of an hour exfoliating and shaving and whatnot just on the offchance that I'll run into him again.
And girls, if I do- Should I do it? Should I? Could I? Would I? Will I?
I had to chairside assist today, and take xrays and was just running around ALL day. I haven't sat chairside in soooo long, my back hurts, my wrist hurts, and I'm tired! But I did exercise this morning!
I'm going to convince Craig to massage my back for me later woohoo...
**thinking of you HH**
oh I cant wait for the weekend, then I can catch up on everyone's posts and stuff.
Thinking of you all, and hope you have a great week!
Have no time to post post because I have a ton of packing left and have to arrange movers and installations and such. . .but I got the apartment! I hardly got any sleep last night, but since we were starting a new project at work, I was focused enough to not be so nervous. Then it came break time, and I was about two seconds away from needing some Depends. I really thought I would lose it (bladder wise lol). I called and she was like oh, let me check, yeah looks okay. w00t! And I got to actually see my place today, as well. It is tiny, of course. . .but the hallway outside of my place is great. Has these two storybook windows out of which you can see three of the major landmarks here. I am one happy hippo!
Super swell, HH!! Nice way to look at the bright side, and besides, how much space does a person really need? I think the more space you have, the more junk you accumulate and then eventually you have to move someplace bigger and then moving is an even bigger chore!
I'm actually a little envious of your new place- I'd like to move and start over somewhere too! Let me finish this masters, then I'm heading to Canada!!
Well here's the scoop on the man- I did NOT see him at the pit. Oh well. I suppose I'll keep watching for him there. If I really, really got the nerve up, I could call him... but chicken **** that I am... well, we'll see.
My boobs are definitely smaller and people are telling me that they can tell I've lost weight, mainly in my face. Yay! I didn't weigh today, but I did go swimming again tonight, and plan on going again tomorrow night... Hey, I might as well get some exercise while I'm stalking this guy, right?
Actually, I really am!
You crack me up, girlfriend. Also, I like what you say here: 
I remember all too well the rollercoaster of emotions, and I know it is hard, all of it- your situation is your own, and even if you don't feel as though you're in control you are.

That's such great news!!
