A Post-it?

ME: How did you know it was me?

MALE FRIEND: Your boobs.

ME: But I was wearing a jacket....

MALE FRIEND: Yeah. That's like trying to cover an airplane with a post-it.

Mission ONE Complete.

So the first week of Weight Watchers is complete. I am still alive. But I am still hungry. HA. I of course opened my wide mouth during our meeting today to express how difficult of a time I was having. I seemed to be the most negative person in the room which made me feel uncomfortable. Because I can't be the only one struggling. So I vented. Everyone else in the room seemed to be getting along just fine. There were a few people who didn't say what their first week was like so maybe I was a loud mouth for them too. Who knows. Everyone wants to tell me that it's going to be fine and it will get easier as my body and mind get used to it all but right now...I don't want to hear that. Cause I just want to eat. Eat. Eat. Eat.

Weight Watchers

On Thursday I started Weight Watchers. This is now my second run at weight watchers. For whatever reason, I am struggling this time. Greatly. Yesterday was a very rough day for me. I was emotional. Starving. Angry. I wanted to give up right then and there. I don't know what this time is harder. Is it because I weigh more? Is it because I have something else going on subconsciously that I am unaware of? I don't want to be around people because I feel like everything and anything we talk about revolves around food and points. This damn point system. I called my mom yesterday because I needed to talk to someone who would listen. Who would help me try to find a solution. Who would remind me that it's going to be okay. The minute I started talking to her, tears flooded my eyes. I was so desperate for food. Desperate for a solution to make this hunger and struggle go away. My downfall I think when I get this desperate or depressed is to eat. Unfortunately, I can't do that. I do understand that in the long run this is better for me and my future. But it is a struggle. And a very hard one.

Meet in the middle...?

A discussion about the West Coast versus the East Coast...

ME: Well, they're on the West Coast and I'm on the East Coast.

CO-WORKER: Well can't you meet in the middle? ....... New Jersey.

Catnip crazy!

This past weekend I was in Baltimore for the semi-annual Pet Trade Show. The free samples for kitties is very limited and it didn't help that I was walking a dog for all three days. I did manage to score a knitted catnip monkey for my little ones at home. This was the first treat I gave my kitties after being gone for 4 days. Here is the last few seconds of how much Steve loved that catnip monkey. He's totally catnip crazy!

Time to celebrate!


So for those of you who don't already know... I am obsessed with the iPhone. I, of course, wanted the first generation the day it came out, but I couldn't afford it. So I sat patiently (all the while gawking at everyone else who had one) until Christmas for the phone. My dad gave me a gift card to Apple so I could get my phone but my computer, Bulldog - may she rest in peace - malfunctioned and I had to get a new computer. So alas, no iPhone. But guess what! They're coming out with a 3rd generation phone this summer. Well rumor has it they'll announce it at the World Wide Developers conference in June and have it ready for shipment in July. (HOLLAH!) So I am setting my sights (and hopes) on getting the phone sometime this summer. I just read an article that AT&T is going to lower the iPhone price by $200. No need to read that again, I'll tell you. $200 dollars!! The catch is signing a two year contract. Well guess what, Skipper is already an AT&T customer. So what's another two years to get the iPhone at the price point of $199 instead of $399. Ok, let's just say that my obsession just increased by about 980293849408%.
