Things I Love Thursday :) TILT TIME!

1. my papa and my mom.  my dad always has my back, no matter what i do.  and he is my #1 fan.  and my mom is so sweet.  when she heard my fridge died she wanted to buy me another one, even though she can't afford it.  fortunately Brian fixed it.  Oh and when I was very sick both of them called me a lot to take care of me!!

2. CalorieCount
I've used this free and relatively easy-to-use website for years.  Last time I was using it religiously I was able to drop fifty pounds and keep track of all my nutrients and minerals.  This time I'm using it to drop ten and I started yesterday and I've already dropped weight!  By using math, graphs, and clear displays I'm able to track what I need to reach my goals without succumbing to "magical thinking" or other unhealthy thought patterns.

3. My garden!!  It is a bit decimated (I like that word, decimate technically means to kill every tenth man) but it still produces.  I decided to put up some basil today.  I upcycled a few things round the house and it came out quite nice.  I think I will give one to my friends for their housewarming.  Or maybe I will give them a plant of basil I don't know.  But it's nice to have on hand.

and yes, I have my own pinking shears.  My apartment is a wonderland of stuff like that.

5. My knee being better and my lil sister for helping me find out what kind of exercises to do to stop it from happening again.  She's in physical therapy school and she's a single mom and she's amazing :)  I love her so much.  She is very positive and fit and energetic and hardworking,  She inspires me.

6. Oh and MIR MIR!!  my sister is the best she brought me soup and is helping me with my career.  she always makes time to talk with me, whether it is something important or I just need directions to the nearest Bank Of America ATM. (I don't have a SmartPhone so i just call my SmartSis).  And we are going to go to Spa Castle for my birthday!!!!!!!  which is november 2nd and don't you forget it.  Buy me presents from the amazon wishlist that is linked somewhere on the right-hand column of this page, or from somewheres else, or not :)

why helllllllllloooooo there

ohio.  today was pretty ok.  i spent the morning with my nieces, annika and maggie.  i like them kiddoodles a whole heck of a lot.  also spent some time with the momster, then came over here to my pop's house.  i went to dinner with my sister and her in laws, papa, my brother lank and papa's friend regina.  we went to the macaroni grill and that place was kind of suck.  some little girls were talking to me and they tried to give me a hair ribbon.   when i was in the bathroom they were whispering to each other by the sinks "hey the girl voice lady is here!"

now i'm drinking Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale.  It is sawwwwwweeeeeet.  I vote pumkin ale for president!!

In other news... i got a bikini in the mail.  soon as i get the body to go in it i will post better pics.

i also got a wee little haircut. if you are in east greenbush, ny and you need a haircut you should go see richard at supercuts in the target plaza.  target plaza is actually in north greenbush i believe, to be more exact.  richard works there on saturdays... and maybe other days but i don't know.   i did a buttload of laundry as well.

ok bye :)
thanks for the support

morning dahlinks

i slept through the night!!  a first since this wretched cold took me.  i'm watching a scary movie with brian.  it  is very silly.  today i get to see my papa.  i'm meeting him at the hyatt by grand central, then we get to eat fancy dinner, then i go to my writing group at the tea spot in the west village.  kelly invited me to lemongrass for karaoke, but i think i might be too sick and broke to go.  we shall see.  the exciting news is i get my laptop back when i see my father.  this will give me access to a wealth of material to make this blog even more lovely and exciting than it already is.
