Shopping Delights!

I've had the shopping bug the last two days. Now, it really started yesterday when our electricity went out and talking to Gracie just got a wee too boring. I will admit that most of the things I have bought over the last two days have been Christmas presents...which is good. By this time, I usually have a lot more bought. I'm so behind! Oh well, it will all work out. I also am doing the Christmas shopping all out of my checking account this year, which is definately new. I'm not using the old credit cards, and it's really odd!

The weather is absolutely gorgeous. It really feels like spring...except that it's November. It's sunny, but not too hot. The wind is moving at precisely the best speed so that you can walk without feeling windblown. I've got my windows and screen doors wide open. I really wish it would get a little bit cooler, but I'm not going to complain! It really could be raining...or still hot! ICK!

I really haven't updated the blog on my weight loss in several weeks! Most of this is due to my stupid weigh in last week. I gained 1.2lbs. SAD! I weighed in the day after we came back from Washington, which really wasn't the best plan...especially since air travel makes you retain water. I did so much walking that I was convinced I would lose, which I probably would have if I had been able to weigh in later in the week. As it was, I was working...and then out with back problems. I weighed in this week and lost 1.6! Hooray! :) This is a big deal because I have entered a new points category! I lost 2 points and now get to eat less. (Note how I put things into a positive light by saying "Get to"...it's almost like a prize! :) I've got some work to do before my next big goal of 75lbs...but I still think that 59lbs gone is pretty fun! :)

Okay, so I'm watching this food network show called Everyday Italian or "Cooking with Cleavage" as my dad calls it. The lady who hosts it loves to show off her top region with either tight or low cut ensembles. Today, she's showing her friends how to cook Italian restaurant favorites. She's being really creepy today. She's currently telling this guy how to cut the stems of Shitake mushrooms and after every statement, she smiles at him. It's this creepy "I know more than you and that's sad" look. I really need to watch something else right now. She's giving me the creeps.

Speaking of creepy, Liberty is laying on the floor of my bedroom, all stretched out, with her haunches spread out behind her. She looks like a hussy.

Have you seen the JC Penney commercial about their big sale this weekend? There's a helicopter toting around this giant sale sign. Today, I actually saw a helicopter toting around a big sale sign....isn't that strange?

Well, I suppose I should go do something productive...Hooray! :)
