like Bridget Jones, only not as well put together.

First of all, my monthly progress report is up, with some good news and progress pics! Head on over to New Life Tuesday to check it out!

Secondly, today’s topic is your favorite quote. I can’t say I have a favorite quote… they aren’t things I really collect? There are a few snippets of poetry and such that I love, though.

For example, from Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman:
Now you understand
Just why [...] Continue Reading…

Today’s Topic– What is your favorite book?

Oh boy. Here’s what separates the men from the boys, or the avid reader from the voracious one. There seems to be such a caste system among literary fans… the classics vs the contemporaries, those that look down on people who even consider John Grisham to be an author, those that read high brow texts in wingback chairs and those that read chick [...] Continue Reading…

Day three question- What is your favorite TV program?

I’ll just be short and sweet right here:

Missing Gideon, but here is the incredible cast of a superbly written and acted show, Criminal Minds

I missed the first few seasons of this show, until it started airing on A&E in reruns. I watched one epi and I was HOOKED. Shemar Moore? HELLO?! And Matthew Gray Gubler… he’s just delightfully nerdtastic. He’s so [...] Continue Reading…

Today’s topic is: What is your favorite movie?

Like music, I have a few favorite movies. Okay, a lot. For someone not really into movies, I have a lot.

There are a couple of actors that I really like, such as Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, LL Cool J (hush), and Will Smith. If Luda is in a movie, I’m gonna be seeing that. If Mark Walhberg is in a movie, [...] Continue Reading…

I’ve run out of things to talk about, apparently. I can’t think about anything but weight loss and dating, which is making my blog uber boring… unless you care about Criminal Minds, in which I am FURIOUS that CBS did not renew AJ Cook (JJ)’s contract! And and ANDUH!! Paget Brewster’s character Emily Prentiss is, apparently, going to have fewer scenes, leaving the brilliant Garcia as the only full [...] Continue Reading…

Since I keep all my diety posts off of the front page, I should probably post something here on the main blog to serve as a flashing arrow sign to my latest blathering about the size of my butt.

Here’s TODAY’s! Some VERY good news!

This is a bit of a jumble, but it’s been rolling around in my head for awhile so please excuse the lint from the carpet of my mind. I meant to vacuum but I got distracted by something shiny.

The other day I was reading something at one of my online haunts. A member was talking about her current weight loss successes and failures and how that related to how [...] Continue Reading…

I have an application on my iPod Touch that is a Question of the Day kind of thing. They vary in range from deep and heavy to light and fluffy. I tend to stick to the ones in between because deep questions make my head hurt. Today’s question is:
Do You Love The Present More Than The Past?
Now if you’ve read this blog for any amount of time, you were [...] Continue Reading…

You know what’s annoying?

When criminals live better than I do. When I watch shows like Lockup and I see all these programs and services afforded to people who have broken the law, and I have access to squat because I make too much money, it gets me feelin’ some kinda way.

And also, when I live on a cash only basis and have to save money for things like a [...] Continue Reading…

(Posted so that the first full post on my blog isn’t a post about sex toys. Apparently, I do have some shame. )

I have a new post over under New Life Tuesday, on goals and rewards and such. It’s made of awesome. Go see it.

This post is Rated R, but since some of my readers have already heard/read it, I obviously have no shame.

So. Last night I had dinner with Sarah and MJoy and it was great! We talked about the first time I met Tex and she offered me some lube. As in, hi, I’m Tex. Would you like some lube? *Opens a box, 50 blister paks pop out*

And yah, [...] Continue Reading…

Yesterday was a good day. Despite the fact that I was sleepy all day, and then it rained HARD just as I was leaving the office,  it was a really good day.  Rain in the south is a phenomenon. I am used to northwest rain, where it kind of sprinkles. It’s light and fresh and you dance in it and you might bring an umbrella if you think about [...] Continue Reading…

Happy Hump Day Blog people!  I’m a little sad, today. Just a little.

One of my bestest friends here in Atlanta is leaving. :( She and her husband are new parents, and as such, life has really changed for them. Certain things move up the list of importance and ‘adult’ matters like life insurance and safety seats and settling down. Their family lives in South Florida, and that’s where they’re [...] Continue Reading…

I can’t count things. I lose track. So, whatever.

Happy Monday. It’s actually not a bad Monday. I got a good night’s sleep, which is unheard of for a Sunday night. Guess I was tired.  I woke up thinking about my baby brother Joseph. I don’t know why, there’s no anniversary of anything coming up. From time to time, he just comes to mind. I don’t really get melancholy anymore. [...] Continue Reading…

Good rainy Friday morning, blog people!  It is a dreary day here in the A, though as I glance out of the window (that I can see through the office I sit in front of), it doesn’t appear to be raining currently. This is a good thing, because rain makes me mopey. In all honesty and actuality, I hope it rains most of the weekend, because I’d love nothing [...] Continue Reading…
