Oh, Baby!

“There’s a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning”…according to Jimmy Buffett anyways! However, this has been a quiet Saturday night for me. Eh, I’m trying to be good and lay off the booze for a while for my diets sake. Did I make that sound like I’m a frequent drinker? No comment.

Today was pretty mellow. Matt woke up with a horrible headache, so I just pretty much lounged around. I watched Hairspray, which I thought was good at the beginning, but toward the end I just got annoyed with it.

I also took down most of the Christmas decorations around the house. They haven’t made it in their storage containers yet, just hanging out on the floor in the living room! Oh, next year please remind me to buy CHEAP Christmas lights for the tree. That way I don’t have to take them off! It was just too frustrating!! At the end I gave up unwrapping them neatly and just pulled them down the tree creating a huge mess of pine needles everywhere. Anyways, Matt got the tree outside and in the trash can, so at least that is out of the house. We had hoped to take the lights off the house, but it’s been raining all day. That probably won’t get done until next weekend. Tomorrow’s goal is to get the decorations put in their containers and put in the garage.

Tonight we went to Chili’s for dinner. I was good and stuck with the Guiltless Salmon, which is one of my favs. It’s only 10 points on WW and you get a good sized piece of salmon, black beans and steamed broccoli. Yummy. While we were waiting for our table we saw a guy come in wearing really short corduroy Op shorts. Way to bring back the 80’s, dude! Plus it was, like, 55 degrees out! I though it was funny…you probably had to be there.

Hold on to your britches folks, I got the new Victoria’s Secret Swim catalog today. Sooo exciting…not! I don’t even know why I get the catalog. When was the last time I fit into VS?! I just decided that if I ever WHEN I fit into a VS bikini, we’ll put a pool in the backyard. (Start saving your dough Matt!) And I did 25 minutes on the treadmill tonight while I used my hand weights, so I’m on my way.

I think all the veggies I’ve been eating have finally caught up with me. (Another head of cauliflower at lunch and broccoli at dinner) Otherwise, there must be a smelly frog in the room! TMI??

Finally, I am signing off to watch some Supercross with the man of the house. MMM, sexy motorcycle riders, the only thing that would make it better is a vodka cranberry…

Rain, Skulls, Drinking and Smoking

So how inappropriate is it to wear skull shoes to work? I say it's OK since I'm the only one here and it's a rainy day. Plus I got them at the beginning of summer for $8 at PacSun and haven't had a chance to wear them.

I love the rain! I have loved the rain for as long as I can remember. It's a good excuse to wear jeans and a cute hoodie to work. Oh and the skull shoes! And I love getting hot coffees when it's raining. So nice. It's a good day. Maybe I should move someplace like Seattle!

Tonight, Traci (mother of 2 cute boys under 3) is taking a much needed break and coming to visit me. We have a plan to drink. I'm going to get her drunk. She doesn't know it yet, but I intend on ordering a round of shots as soon as we get to the restaurant! Oh, she's in for it. I've been on a drinking binge lately. Well, I'm not sure you'd call it a binge, but I'm certainly drinking more than I usually do. For example: on Sunday as we were watching the Chargers loose, I declared that my goal for the week was to drink everyday. Matt looked at me and replied, "that's a goal?" in a non-approving tone. And I've taken up smoking, but really only when I drink. It's weird. Maybe it's because I know someday I'll be a mom and I'm trying to get it all out of my system now.


P.S. I didn't achieve my goal for the week. Therefore, I'll have to try again next week...
