This, that, and the other

I have not been posting much lately because it seriously seems like the minutes of the day get sucked away from me and before I know it, it's bed time. Really, I have been busting my ass working and shit, and I feel truly guilty if I just sit and read blogs and don't get more work done. This last weekend we got roped into going to Lowe's (ON A SATURDAY)to buy all the ceiling fans for my FIL's house. I would have almost rather had my hair ripped out by the root. Friday night was very low key. The husband worked all day and then he brought home pizza and we watched "The Fog." I can't even begin to describe how awful that movie was. Never saw the original so I have nothing to compare it to. Anyways, Saturday. Did the fans and honestly I have no clue what the hell else we did. I probably worked. Sunday the husband was at work, so I yet again worked. Valentine's Day was nice. The husband was off all day so since we had the option of not dealing with crowds of cutsie couples all evening making schmoopey eyes at each other, we went out during the day. Just had a quick lunch and then off to see a flick - Final Destination 3. Before you judge me, I love horror movies. I will pretty much go see anything of that genre. I know that in keeping with the spirit of the day, we should have seen some sort of Julia Roberts/Meg Ryan/Sandra Bullock/Reese Witherspoon sort of chick flick romantic comedy but frankly I'd rather have the shit scared straight out of me. FD3 was not a total waste of time but really the idea for the flick was only original the first time, ya know?
Currently I am sitting here watching Garden State with Zach Braff and Natalie Portman. She is so damn pretty. Not fair. I saw a picture of her shaved almost bald for some movie and she STILL looked good. What IS that? For whatever reason, Netflix has had to send me the movie, De-Lovely twice and yet it has still not arrived. Perhaps I am not meant to see that movie.
Today was an odd day. I have no motivation to work and for whatever reason, I can't sign on to where I need to go on the desktop computer. I checked on this computer and it's fine. That concerns me because I have so much shit on that computer and if we need to restore it back to nothing, I will shit twice and die. The weird thing is that every other website is working fine. No problem. I thought perhaps it was a problem with that site, but I would not be able to sign on from here right? Fuck, I don't know. Whatever. Gives me an excuse to relax for a night.
The whole weight loss thing is going ok. I am down somewhere between 11 and 12 pounds. I am happy with that and technically for going for six weeks, I imagine I am on track, but I am not a patient girl and want the quick fix which we all know don't work long term or are dangerous. Who wants that? I just want to be healthy. A nice 20 lb drop for no good reason would not be a bad thing though. I'd take it.

OK, Natalie Portman is beginning to annoy me in this movie.

My biggest accomplishment aside from doing all the laundry today was to wash and put away all the Valentine's day stuff (vases, placemats, dish towels, etc) and busted out the spring/Easter stuff. I know. Shut UP. This is what I have become.

at 9:29 PM Melanie said...: If I had enough room I would have all those decorations too. I guess I still have a couple of years before the kid starts to notice.

Did you like Garden State? I thought it was kind of strange?

at 10:09 AM Kami said...: Natalie is very cute. I liked that movie, but not enough to watch it again.
at 10:32 AM Kathryn said...: I didn't get my stuff put away yesterday, I figured I'd leave it up until the first of March because that sounded like a good plan to justify my laziness.

I used to be a horror goon too, but I can't take it anymore. I get way way to freaked out now. I used to eat that stuff up as a teenager and a 20-something. And Now? I get nightmares.

Blogging could be a full time fucking job couldn't it.
I feel your pain.
at 4:49 PM Sea_creature said...: GREAT job on the weight loss so far. I'd say you're on track. I was watching Celebrity Fit Club 3 last night...so many of them didn't lose a thing or very little over about the same amount of time.
at 12:40 PM Nap Queen said...: I'm not sure how I feel about Garden State. I loved Zach-y Poo, but I didn't care for Natalie Portman. Liked the soundtrack, though. I have De-Lovely in my queue, but it's like 40th or something....

12 pounds in 6 weeks is awesome. Seriously. That's 2 pounds a week which is PERFECT.
at 5:10 PM Amy said...: Oh congratulations on the weight loss! I'm torn between needing to take off 20-30 pounds, and really really really loving me some comfort food and brownies.
