Quick Update...
Weigh-in: 4.5 pounds lost so far. Kevin is kicking my butt. But then, I think he is kicking all of our butts.I thought some of you who come here might like this.
Rory told me last night that Clark (her hamster) was her best friend. I wasn't sure if he was a good idea, but now I know he was.
Also, we had a long discussion about her teacher's husband. Apparently he came in to the classroom this week, and he was a really nice guy, and Rora had a ton of fun playing with him. But she was absolutely certain he was NOT her teacher's husband. He couldn't be.
Now, we know he is, so we asked her why he wasn't. She said, "Cause he has hair"!
So, apparently you have to be bald to be a husband. Her daddy qualifies.
(I cannot tell you how long this conversation went on, with us listing husbands who do have hairp she seemed utterly unconvinced, like they must all be wearing toupes.)

Meet Clark...
So Rora got a new friend today, as an early birthday present. She decided he was "Super Cute" so she named him after Superman- Clark Kent. He is pretty cute for a rodent.

Got this from my father-in-law...
who was listed as "as philadelphian as a cheese steak". Which is accurate, so I thought I'd try...| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |

Random Crapola...
First, I have to get this off my chest...Choreographed dancing by football players to celebrate ANYTHING is wussified beyond belief. And when you have the audacity to call YOURSELF classy, and at the same time diss another team and their coach simply because they mocked the stupid-ass choregraphed dance that your teammate does when he DOES HIS JOB, you are a loser in more ways than one (and I am talking to you, LaDainian Tomlinson). Especially considering the way your team reacted and what they said after beating the Patriots last year.
Oh, and by the way, good luck next year and I hope you enjoy watching the AFC Championship FROM YOUR LIVINGROOM.
Moving on...
We've recently started watching Scrubs, which was highly recommended to my by a former co-worker, and man, was he right (Thanks Chris!). What's funny about it, is that Rora has started to really enjoy the show, and asks to watch it pretty much every day. Yesterday on the way home, she said that she "played Scrubs" at school, with her two little friends, who were "J.D." and "Dr. Cox" while she was "Elliot". So, she's playing doctor at school. Egad.
And finally, on the Weight Loss Challenge front, I am at a total loss of 3.5 pounds, which is up a half pound from last week (Damn it Jim!). We're still ahead I think, but that's because of my freaky-ass husband, who seems to lose weight by saying, "I'd like to lose some weight".
Yes, I hate him too.
The end.

Ganked from...
Mario.
Smart, adaptable, you're able to insinuate yourself into any setting and act like you were born there. Sure, sincerity and honesty aren't your strong points, but you can fake them if the need arises. You might feel a little hollow inside, but with so many friends, who cares?
What's your malfunction?

Tuesday Challenge Update
So, I'm now down only 4 lbs from my starting goal, which is depressing, 'cause I was down 5.5 lbs last week (while I had the flu). But the flu also caused me to exercise less, and of course the results of that are immediate. Bad flu. Anyway, must keep up with exercise, must not be tempted by pizza and beer. Hah!Also, I knitted another hat, and am in the process of making a purse for my niece. And I hate double pointed needles, and for some bizarre reason cannot purl in the round. I'm a spaz.
Anyway, I thought this was funny:
"English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar."

Ah, the flu...
a great way to one-up those you are competing against in weight-loss competition! Currently at a loss of 5.5 pounds total. Whoopee!It won't last. The siren call of pizza and beer will tempt me soon enough...
And we saw Happy Feet this weekend. It was charming (though it had its slow moments), but if it had ended at a certain place (if you see it, you'll know where I mean), would have been the most depressing kids movie ever. Even worse than Old Yeller.
Also, I forgot my purse this morning, which is probably due to the fact the hubbie is at home sick in bed, so I was getting myself and small child ready to go at 5:30 in the morning (not a particularly lucid hour for me- but the kid was VERY helpful). Not a crisis or anything, but I had to forgo yummy coffee for crap work coffee with nasty fake creamer. Yuck.
Just thought I'd share.
