The Bullshit is starting already.

So, we just walked in the door from dinner with my parents. We are packing for the weekend trip to hell. You should see the snacks I packed!! Anyway, my brother in law calls my husband to tell him that he and his wife (remember, they are the newlyweds) don't want to go to Corning on Saturday. So I'm like, wtf, they plan on staying at the house on sat? Yep. They plan on hanging out all freaking day at my mother in law's house. I flat out told my husband there was no way in hell I was spending the entire day at the house with them.

I don't spend entire days at my house, why would I want to do it on a trip? It's freaking pathetic. My husband is like, oh we can just hang out at my mother's house with them. I refuse. I told him this months ago, I was promised we would go out and do something.

He just came over here to put me on the phone with his mother. To talk about the grand canyon of pennsylvania. It's a gorge. Big whoop. With a zoo. I bet there's 5 animals tops.

This.Is.Going.To.Suck.Bigtime.

Forgot to tell you!

Guess where I'm going this Friday? For 3 days. Yep. East bumble fuck to spend the weekend with the inlaws from hell. Why? I don't know. My husband is off for 3 days and his mother has planned a LastName family reunion. Keep in mind she's not even a LastName anymore!! She divorced hubby's father like 20 years ago and remarried the evil amish man, so she's a DifferentLastName now. So is their 16 yo daughter. And she invited great Aunt Biddy from NY. Now Aunt Biddy isn't even a LastName anymore either people!!! Her LastName husband died about 40 years ago and she married and has since buried AnotherLastName. So. We are having a LastName family reunion with 4 different families! Ooh, and the South Korean exchange student whose name is Bonny. YEP. I don't get it either. Bonny is a Korean name??

We are leaving Fri am to get there by after lunch. Brother/Sister in law are coming Friday night. Cousins/Aunt Biddy are coming Saturday after lunch. We are leaving Sunday morning as early as I can possibly force it.

So I was promised that on Saturday we would do something, b/c last time we went to East Bumble we sat there for 3 days doing NOTHING. NOTHING. So hubby said oh sure, we can do Corning, or maybe the Grand Canyon of PA. Wow. Won't that be fun. But now, he says his mom has to stay home on Saturday to wait for the cousins. WTF? Why are we even going up there?

I am packing food for myself. It's actually a good thing they don't feed people since I'm on WW now. I want to bring liquor though. Would that be rude? Wait a second! Who cares if its rude!!!

No wireless though so you will all have to wait for the blow by blow till Sunday night or Monday at the latest. I'll bring paper and pen to take notes though!!

7.6

My new favorite numbers this week. Last week was Rosh Hashanah and we went to my mom's to eat yummy jewish food. Brisket, kreplach, stuffed cabbage. Challah. YUM. YUM. I tried to behave and stay on program. But really. Fresh Challah. The only way it could have been worse was if I made it myself. I am doing that for Hanukkah. And probably eating an entire loaf in 2 days.

So the next am was weigh in, and I wound up gaining .8 of a pound, which I was THRILLED. So this past week I was good for about 93% of the time. But there were 2 chinese buffets and 1 court jester this week so I was nervous.

So I go in this morning and get weighed and Denise says oh, you had a good week. So to me, that's like 3 or more lbs lost. She says 7.6 down. I think what the hell? I made her reweigh me. She's like yep, 7.6. I was flipping out. Who loses 7.6 pounds in one week????

So towards the end of the meeting when Toni asks if anyone is celebrating anything my arm shot straight up in the air and everyone started laughing. I was dying. It was so funny.

62.4 is the grand total. Wow. Amazing, no? I wore new jeans (with zippers!!!) and shoes and a shirt to work yesterday. Got so many compliments. I was floating on air.

One more week till The Unit returns!

I can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing Charlie again of course. But they are adding a girl to the unit. Which just sucks and will bring the show down to a soap opera level in my mind. So I'll DVR it and then fast foward over the non Charlie scenes.

Finished up another fan fic about Charlie and the boys. I was going to add 2 more small scenes at the end, but decided not to. It ends well and I just don't have the time really.

In addition to being class mom at school, team mom for the soccer team and secretary on the pto, I just became the den leader for Junior's cub scout group! yay! Plus I started selling Avon again. Just because I love the products. Oh, and I'm still selling scrapbooks too.

So...I'm a tad busy!

God I suck don't I?

I've been ignoring the crap out of my blog. I suck. So sorry.

Junior went back to school. Every day after school he has a complete and utter meltdown when we leave the playground. Hubby keeps saying he did it last year for the first 2 weeks. Ugh, I hope he gets acclimated soon. Teacher seems nice. I am still voraciously campaigning to be class mom. All the moms want me to be! Well, at least 5 of them told me so at the birthday party last week. I told them to tell the teacher. I've already bought stuff for the halloween goody bags. I love halloween, what can I say? Oh, and he's doing soccer. LOVE, love, love the coaches. I already bought halloween stuff for the team too.

Speaking of the birthday party, we did a Star Wars theme! Lego Star Wars of course. Got the tee shirt and matching cake image from febay. So freaking cute, everyone loved them, I do it every year for our theme. Here's a non identifying picture:


Currently working on getting the bitchy ass manager over at CVS fired. She refused to take an expired ECB, after the (new) cashier already took 3 expired ECBs and CRTs. WTF? I said fine, returned the items and walked out the door. Called 1-800-Shop-CVS and complained. I'm still waiting for the district manager to call me. Hey BOB, call me already. Hubby keeps asking if I got her fired yet.

So I went to Walgreens too. Great deal on Tylenol PM. Which, I eat like candy. So let's see, the 24 caplet count package retails for $5.49, and W put it on sale for $3.49, great price, right? Maybe for some. Not me. This week, there was also an Easy Saver Rebate instant coupon for $1 off. So, that brings it down to $2.49 per box! Still too pricey for moi!! Last week, there were $2 off any Tylenol coupon in the Smart Source coupon pack. I got my hands on 5 of them. So I bought FIVE boxes of Tylenol for $2.50 TOTAL.

Whew! Even impressed myself. That's going into the Bargains scrapbook. Which I still need to get started on. Here's a pic to tide you over:

Yum, cake!

Got this link in an email the other day and I laughed my ass off! Some of those cakes are hysterical!! Plus, she writes wonderfully and she's funny as hell. I'm sure we'd get along fabulously in real life.

Cake Wrecks

Happy Birthday to ME!

I'm officially the big 4-0! Yay for me! I have to say, I'm perfectly content right now in my life. I didn't dread turning 40 at all. I am at a good place in life right now.

In WW news, I'm holding steady at 50.4lbs down since January. I have been gaining/losing the same 3-5 lbs since the end of July and I'm okay with that, really. Junior goes back to school next week and my routine will fall back into place and I hope to lose another 25-35lbs by December.

I'm jazzing up the blog, love the colors now! I hope to add some pictures and cute widgets soon. Have to find some time.
