the magical wonder of the ticky-tockI have survived Xmas (yes, I am taking the christ out) virtually unscathed. Sunday night dinner was as expected - a 5 course extravaganza of uncomfortableness. I ate like the little piggy I am deep down inside and regretted it afterward. Monday morning we had to wake up earlier than I would have preferred so that my Ooosband and I could exchange gifts and enjoy each other's company before traipsing off on our chock-full day of events. That was THE most enjoyable part of the day! I wanted to just stay in my PJ's all day and watch movies and play with our gifts at home. I felt under the weather for most of the day. Then we got home at a reasonable hour and spent some time doing some of the stuff we would have rather done, I read and he played his new Metal Slug Anthology. Then off to bed to dream our happy little dreams.
The big question... what sweet little presents did I get?
iPod video (total surprise and very happy)
Neato book of old-school kitchen remedies
Money
Some knifty CD's
2 really nice knives.
Oh, now for the story of the magical ticky-tock, which has since been remedied:
It all began Friday night. While at the ever delightful and always fabulous home of Erin & JP. I had conversed with a little pregers lady and she was nice and pleasant and that is when the ticky tocked. I started thinking to myself that maybe it wouldn't be all that bad to be a slight bit pregers. I was also starting to wonder because the monthly plague was not acting up in it normal manner. Which is curious since it is usually reliably un-reliable. Moving on to Sunday night while at my parents house. We are all gathered around the tree exchanging gifts and the theme continued, first with a joke and then with a not so joke type gift. My dearest brother of mine (my only one for that matter) who is a continuous hound for niece or nephew decided to gift to me the 'Consumer's Guide to Baby Products', we all had a good laugh. Then my father gifted to me a piece from my favorite collectible series, Snowbabies. The figure was a stork delivering a baby Snowbaby. He explained how he could not resist. I understand well and good the nature of these gifts and this caused a small pang of guilt. I do realize that my family would be oh so pleased if such a momentous occasion were to happen. Monday night however, while I was in the presence of a pair of 6 year old twins. Running screaming and not listening to a word their parents had to say - It was over - crushed to little bitty ticky-tocky pieces.

alive and wasting awayI know, it's been forever since I last posted. I think I am pretty much all posted out, despite the fact that there are things to talk about. Let's start with a Weight Watchers update. I have been following the flex plan like a good little girl and to date have lost 16.8 lbs. I am only 3 lbs away from my 10% goal. Hopefully I will reach that within the next 2 weeks. The one defining moment so far that made me realize that I did indeed loose a good amount of weight? After stuffing my self completely out at TGI Fridays (for the record I ended up only eating a quarter of my dish before I was stuffed) I happened to look down and realized that I could not see my belly beyond the girls! That was my defining moment - odd as it may sound.
Next, I finished reading Something Borrowed and have now moved on to Something Blue. For me, I ripped through that book effortlessly - I was quite surprised. I suck at reading cause I don't do it enough.
On to Christmas... Sadly the spirit has not been with me as it has been in the past. My home is semi-decorated but yet it still feels undecorated. I must have a festive home for the Christmas shin-dig tomorrow night... So off to Kmart to get some fabulously TACKY decor. I am still on a hunt for mistletoe. This has been such a hard thing to come by. What better excuse to kiss all my guests than strategically placed mistletoe?
In addition, I have come to the complete and total conclusion that I want something that comes in that signature blue box. Now, I doubt I will get this blue box for Christmas or my birthday even - but maybe I will get it for myself if I reach my goal weight. I will even make them gift up all happy like.
