eddiepotter's Friends

Anyone who weighs themselves after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is nuts. lol I am giving myself a by for this one. My first weigh-in won't be until mid-December.

I had a wonderful weekend with friends and family in many ways. Today is the day back to work and the gym.

Christmas shopping is done, ai buhleeve.  Just need to start wrapping now :)

We were invited to E & J's for dinner yesterday (k's surrogate parents, the ones who came to our rescue when the truck wouldn't start in the store parking lot).  It was their thanksgiving.  They had spent the actual day in Kentucky with J's family.  They got back this weekend and had dinner with J's daughter & family, J's sister and husband, me and K, another quasi-adopted couple and the thirty or so children between all of us ;) 

It was loud and messy and quite good fun.  I demolished my diet yet again, but am trying to not beat myself up about it, since I do get up every single day and work out.  I know I can afford a cheat meal a couple times a week, just a little bit of guilt is still there.

Bah. Chocolate cream pie is totally worth the guilt.

Anyways, they have two new kittens.  I almost stole the fat fuzzy gray one.  I'm pretty sure I could have snuck her out under my coat.  I restrained myself, however.

K ordered me Insanity from Beachbody for Christmas!  It looks like the kind of workout that makes you puke halfway thru!

Oh, and we got a Snuggie for Dad's GF for christmas.  Tiger striped.  Classy ;)

when i was shopping with my dad over the weekend, we had a french person helping us at one of the stores.  when we left...i said "dad, i don't like him." and he goes "why?"  and i go "probably because he's french."    Starlitocean 11/24/09

okay, between the talk of pie, and the smell of catered food a few feet away, i am ready to eat my phone.   Starlitocean 11/24/09  

When Erin opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!". I looked, and there before me was a pecan pie. Its rider was named Food Baby, and Hades was following close behind him.      Kathygator 11/25/09

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have the sponge starter for a loaf of whole wheat Italian herb bread resting in the bread machine, am gearing up to make sage (turkey) sausage biscuits and gravy and have planned a non traditional evening meal of pan seared sirloin, dry roasted fingerling potatoes cooked with a pile of bay leaves that I will finish in the steak pan drippings, with a side broccoli or sauteed Brussels sprouts I picked from the garden yesterday....a simple yet lively red wine will accompany the feast.

We plan on spending the day cranking tunes while weeding through the filing cabinet, and leisurely packing non essential interior items... then we most likely will shag our brains out and put this day to rest.

Hope all is joyful and well with all of you!

ok so the picture is something to see!  Just me clowning a bit on my anniversary... the kids like to take these pics lately with their lips twisted up and giving the peace sign... don't know what it is, but thats what they do... So I sent this one to my baby girl on FB to give her a chuckle...

Not being at all productive today - just waiting on the day to end - and prayerfully it will be soon.  I have LOTS of cooking to do yet, and whips to crack at home... *SIGH*

I will post pics of the spread on tomorrow just because....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!!

(also known as my too frequent journal posts)

last night after work i met a friend to go see 2012.  we were given free concession tickets once we got there for free pop and popcorn.

i stared at mine for awhile. i pondered whether i should get some.  i mean, it's free.  free stuff is almost always pretty awesome, even if i don't much like popcorn.  but it was free!  .

..and then guess what i did?

i threw that bitch out.

edit: i threw the ticket for popcorn out.  never got popcorn...

I feel really good this week.  I dusted off my treadmill on Sunday and I actually used it at home!  Then Monday night I did it again!  Yesterday I walked at lunch, did intervals on the treadmill in the afternoon and some strength training.   Then I had Girl Scouts with my step daughter last night and we went to a food pantry and packed up Thanksgiving boxes.  The process wasn't that great there were 3 of us adults and 30 boxes to do.  The pantry lady wanted the turkeys in the bottom with the 5lb bag of potatoes, so 20 - 25 lbs went in first and then we carried these boxes around the room while the 14 girls each put their one item in whether it's a can of cranberry or a bag of carrots, finish, and repeat 9 more times!  I honestly am having a hard time lifting my arms today!  Then to top off my exercise I hit a huge sale at Kmart this morning and did a full mad dash run from end to end of the store getting everything I wanted!  (12 megapixel, 5x zoom digital camera with lcd screen for $70!!)

The only thing I need to be careful of is the double Thanksgiving dinners I'm doing tomorrow!  I'm going to my MILs for noon dinner (actually I'll be there in the morning to help her cook because she's still recouperating from a major surgery) Then we'll be going home and I'll be cooking a full dinner for my family for 5pm!  (yes, his family was invited to come to our house and they chose to have their own separately but threw a fit when we weren't going to go!)  So, for the first meal I'll have no problem the menu is riddled with corn and I'll only be able to eat the turkey and the potatoes and that's IT!  So low cal there!  For my meal I'm making as many low cal options as possible and I've already calculated my calories out and I'm going to be strong!!! Just to be safe though I think I'll do my 'official' weighin tomorrow morning instead of Friday like the last few weeks!!

Oh, also as an update, I got the results from my biopsy and it was just a lipoma (fatty tissue) !!!!!!  So, phew all that worrying for nothing and I'm all set!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my USA friends, and haha to my Canadian friends because I have a 4 day weekend :) lol

that one of the guys in the boardroom for the meeting today looks a lot like matt damon.

clearly, this is big news.

Go make yourself feel better and rub up against the coolest car in the parking lot.  So that it will then be yours.  The owner will just instinctively come out and hand you the keys.  Merry Mensies Pavy.   Bigbhoo  11/24/09

Ya know, I'm in charge, and guess what, I never wrote a bill of rights.  Only a fool would do that.  Why on Earth would you give anyone rights when you can hold onto them yourself?  Dnrothx 11/24/09

What happens now is that Boss should go to Boss' Boss and say: "Um, the reserve fund is unchanged because the dinkus in the other office hasn't updated their system with how they're going to spend the money."

This should be good. :D  Dnrothx 11/24/09

I have been bingeing and drinking too much and not even working out!  Yeesh.  Well I am driving home tonight, so it was going to be day FIVE.. yes... FIVE of no working out.  Well I couldn't let that happen so I woke up at 5:30 and did a 7 mile run and made a good bfast and packed a healthy spinach salad for lunch.  I feel a little better.  a LITTLE.  I need to get back to my old healthy habbits and stop bingeing!  I have work all day, class tonight where I have to present my paper to the class, then I'm driving home after class (6 hours), looking forward to being able to relax.  Any by relax I mean, not at all because I have tons of work to do.  Home usually means overeating for me so I hope that doesn't happen.  Actually no, I'm saying now it WON'T happen.  I need to wake up every morning I am home and get some kind of exercise in and then make a reasonable plan for food for the day.  Prob going out wed night, just hope I don't binge when I come home, going to try to keep the drinks to a min.  Also not weighing in for a while i know its bad right now.

Anyways I don't mean to be a downer, just trying to clear my head.
