1. Burned 3694 C. But again, not so good on the eating front.
2. Nollie perfume, jade-green burnished gold drop necklace, big apple green earrings from that handmade show, and no bracelet because my New Sweater (striped beige, cream, and navy) is long in the sleeves and quite delicate.
3. I ALMOST finished the Friday NYTX all by myself!! THAT is a definite first--I usually can't get anywhere with it. I'm either getting better or that sh*t was super easy. Only Rex Parker will tell.
4. Switch two letters in Costumer and you get Customer. I BLOW MY OWN MIND!!
5. I recommended my sister's jewelry site to Jasmere.com and they're interested!
6. Walmart after work for prescriptions, Central Dairy lowfat cottage cheese (IT IS NO LONGER LIGHT GREEN. I MAY BURST), generic lemon-lime soda, and too many freezer things (see ITEM 8).
7. Then, home for a few minutes of relaxation, burritos, parts of Seinfeld and Reba, and realizing I don't have enough freezer room.
8. 7:30 - off to Dad's to use his deep freezer for the extra items.
9. DBRL to drop off some horrible books, then to gather Neil from Ellis, who has a HOTT new haircut!! Home to Idol results (glad to see Pia go--she's good, but not entertaining) and a little Tradewinds Odyssey on MSN Games. So much for not playing computer games anymore. :-s
10. I hate my downstairs neighbor.

Low-energy Wednesday
1. Burned 3419 C! I was so sure I didn't get to my goal!
2. I feel sooooooooooooo sluggish this morning. I even contemplated taking the elevator at work--to the SECOND FLOOR. Ouch. I didn't, though, when I saw someone I didn't like also approaching them. I'll avoid an awkward elevator-conversation at any cost.
3. Bath & Body Works Irresistible Apple eau de cologne; twisty copper, gold, & silver bracelet; millefiori necklace; gold earrings reading "Yes" and "No."
4. My brain is also all mushy.
5. I don't want to do ANYTHING. I'm not in a bad mood, just a Nothing mood.
6. Lately I'm always cold when I wake up from my Luncheon Nap.
7. Dear people who have scary-loud/screamy sneezes such as the gentlemen in IT above our area: how does it happen that the people you are living with haven't killed you yet?
8. You know how copper can have a smell? Like the metallic smell of blood? My bracelet is smelling like that. It makes sense, since it's, you know, COPPER...but it's buggin' me.
9. Am I the only one who hates listening to the live version of some song, and the singer makes the audience sing it INSTEAD? Drives me nuts. I ain't here to listen to a bunch of yay-hoos sing "My Immortal," Amy Lee.
10. My elegant, statuesque, eternally immaculately dressed co-worker Anne calls me "Boo." I adore it.
11. The evening was full--I ran two errands, picked Neil [and the box of Sean] up, and we went to Dad's. Then we ran two more errands, got dinner, and watched an ULTRA-enjoyable Idol episode. Scotty BLEW ME AWAY with his Elvissy "C'mon Now Momma"--he is so sassy!! Paul was HILARIOUSly crazy with his "Folsom Prison Blues," and Casey got out the big bass. Loved it loved it!
12. Daddy dug a little grave on the side of the house, where we bury all the pets, and I asked everyone to name their favorite thing about Sean. Dad said he didn't really know a lot about him, Lily said "I"m not really sure which one Sean *was*," I said I loved watching him catch live crickets before he got spoiled and insisted on hand-feeding, and Neil said he liked it whenever Sean was on my shoulder looking at me. It was a gorgeous evening for a funeral. After, we sat on the porch with Dad and his cigar.
13. Not a great day for eating. At all. I'm afraid I've become kinda complacent lately....justifying not eating well because I've gotten good exercise each day. But it has to be a combination of diet and exercise, for me to get moving on weight loss. it just has to be.

Cruddy Tuesday
1. Burned 3055 calories. Not great, but not bad.
2. Ice on my windshield in the morning always puts me in a bad mood. I was also running 15 minutes late. This, combined with two construction projects on 63 narrowing two lanes to one...a "You Suck" message from A. awaiting me in my work in-box....and, most jarring, news that an online friend hasn't awoken from her C-section last night...have all made for a terrible start to the day.
3. And I'm on Reference. Suckkkkkkkkk.
4. AND I had a very poor weigh-in this morning. I thought I'd done so well, too. :(
Looks like I'm gonna hafta start tracking more carefully.
5. Viva La Juicy perfume; matte silver Chubby Bird Fossil earrings; stretch beaded translucent red, gold, clear, and black beaded bracelet; and a sparkly red and gold beaded necklace from a handmade-jewelry show.
6. Ugh. It's apparently also one of those days where I'm unable to feel full....
7. This is ridiculous. I'm having some Fullbites. Might be a placebo effect, but at this point I'll try anything.
8. Sticker work in front of Tuesday night Office reruns....it's no Gilmore, but it'll do!
9. Feeling lackluster all day, even though Ref work was minimal and my day got much better after the rough start. So my exercise was sub-par, and my eating was the opposite of conscientious.
10. That's depressing. Hal Sparks' Queer as Folk boyfriend was just in an Olive Garden commercial. YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR THIS, BEN BRUCKER!

Monday Monday LA LAAAAA LA LA LAAAAA so good to me
1. Burned 3462
2. Weirdly, energetically awake after about three hours' sleep last night. I'm going to start taking my Paxil during the day instead of right before bed...I feel like it may have an effect on how tough it is for me to get to sleep at a reasonable hour.
3. Wearing socks today after I'd given myself hope that I wouldn't have to for a long time. Booooo.
4. I HAVE TO GO TO THE COBBLER. There are shoe issues.
5. Wearing: Guess by Marciano perfume, and two stretch roughed-up rocky-bead bracelets, one in brick red, one in light-ish turquoise. My shirt has kind of an odd neckline and I didn't like how the millefiori necklace looked with it this morning. And my hair's down so I opted against earrings.
6. I also think I'm ready to try longer necklaces. I haven't found the perfect length yet though.
7. I'm sad to report that in my new quest to incorporate more jewelry in my life, I may be using many less charm bracelets. I love the idea of them, but they're not practical, and I don't think they're flattering either. It's a shame because this girl on Etsy sells little polymer clay reproductions of each Anne of Green Gables book on a charm bracelet, and I am DYING for it. (Eek! : http://www.etsy.com/listing/61247878/anne-of-green-gables-lm-montgomery-books ... Harry POTTERS?? http://www.etsy.com/listing/60535314/h-p-books-charm-bracelet-teenadult-size ... LITTLE HOUSE?? http://www.etsy.com/listing/61730081/little-house-on-the-prairie-books-charm ... THE FREAKING BABYSITTER'S CLUB?????!!!!! http://www.etsy.com/listing/65933022/bbsitters-club-books-charm-bracelet-with ... AUGHHHHHH!)
I think I should learn more about jewelry making because I just can't HANDLE a life without charms on things.
8. I don't think I have ever heard of a better name than Peverill Squire. He's a political scientist at MU and he looks exactly as his name implies he should.
9. MOBIUS conference registration opened up today. And, as usual: EH. And it's at the CoMO Executive Center. SO good-old-boy trashy.
10. Forgot to weigh in this morning. But my favorite work-pants fit me better than the last time I wore them (about two weeks ago), so I'm hopeful there's a difference.
11. Oh, awesome. Just got a message from A. (the reason for my high blood pressure) demanding that I was in the wrong for yesterday's conflict--just as I knew she'd spin it.

Eighty-degree Sunday!
1. Burned 3382....ALLLLmost. Better than most weekends, though!
2. I'm *seething* after having had to publicly defend my religious preferences on FB. (OK, I wasn't forced, but a friend who should have known better posted on my wall. It was followed by other religious-minded peoples' comments, and I got pissed.) Why, why, WHY can't people respect I have the right to believe what I choose, without their intervention??
3. [hours later...] I'm having trouble letting this go. I got a half-assed "didn't mean to offend" response, and I'm shaking mad right now. I have been for most of the day. I would never in a million years tell my religious friends my feelings about their beliefs, or try to steer them in another direction. And of course, she's now twisted it around to make it look like I'm the one out of line. grrrrrrrrrrrr.
4. At least the Cards won today.
5. Windy and 83 degrees outside tonight....feels like a fantastic summer night.
6. I took my baby to work tonight, then drove to Wal-M to get provisions for the week. I took both to and from routes through campus/downtown, and it was so great to see the streets alive, on a Sunday night, with students out for a stroll...flip flops and cups of frozen yogurt, just back from Spring Break to be welcomed by this glorious weather. I don't often wish I were back in school, but I was nostalgic for those times.
7. Okay, I deleted the string of posts. And I immediately felt like a weight had been lifted.
8. I played Plants vs. Zombies this weekend! Not really sure what all the fuss is about, except it's kind of funny.
9. Suddenly stormy outside at 11:30 Sunday night. The frogs outside are going crazy.
10. Thinking of coupon-clipping again, but I can't let my anal side gain too much control or I'll be obsessed over it.

SPRINGY Saturday!
1. Burned 2806 calories...a very lazy day I tried to reverse in the last couple hours.
2. GORGEOUS today!! Neil got up early, then came in later to open the windows...what a lovely, albeit late, start to spring!
3. I slept for the first half of the night, quite by accident, on Neil's impossibly comfortable La-Z-Boy. I couldn't believe it when I woke up and saw that it was 4:47 AM!
4. Sad day for our pet bearded dragon Sean. He's been very listless and odd lately, and this morning Neil confirmed that he had left us. So we're petless, for the time being.
5. Is it shallow and bitchy of me to be hurt/offended when I give someone a gift and they don't return the action at the next major holiday, for me? I LOVE giving presents, and of course this doesn't include children or weddings or showers in general, but I feel like my effort is not appreciated when the favor isn't returned. I don't know....that makes me sound so selfish. It's totally complicated.
6. We tried Tasti D Lite after dinner....that's a big MEH. What's the fuss about?
7. We also tried "Love and Other Drugs." Fail, fail, FAIL. We wanted a sexy romantic comedy, not a movie about Parkinson's. Thanks anyway, Netflix.
8. I envy Charlotte's hair so hardcore. I keep trying to be boho-chic with layers and waves, but when it comes down to it, I want an all-one-length shiny bouncy ponytail that looks equally at home in a pastel sweater set with plaid knee-length skirt and a Ralph Lauren t-shirt with jeans.
9. I had hoped to be more productive today, but we were in a snuggly tickly mood and nothing much got done. I'll take it. :)
10. They are doing a musical of Catch Me If You Can? I am srsly not a fan of the movie-to-musical thang.

Chipperish Friday
1. Burned 3615 cals! Gettin' easier and easier...
2. Gucci Gucci perfume; Betsey big navy/white anchor necklace; Betsey blue sparkly flower drop earrings (ooh, on copper wire! cute!); bright enameled flower stretch bracelet with a silver and bright beady butterfly stretch bracelet.
3. The Waterlilies triptych is coming to Nelson-Atkins in like a WEEK! I am so thrilled to be able to see it again! When it was touring 30 years ago, we went and I apparently kept calling a woman in a wheelchair "HORSEY!"
4. Weekend plans: Sticker sorting; first Aldi trip ever; DBRL run; Guitar Hero with my best guy; storage unit trip.
5. I'm breaking some office rule by desk-dancing in a sleeveless shell. Don't tell a soul!
6. DBRL after work, then Gerbes to grab a cheap dinner and Michael's for a thick piece of foam board. (The display gave me shudders remembering junior-hi science fair projects...)
7. I'm too boring for ten items today. :)
