Whoo Dad!

Dad and I have been attending Weight Watchers together (he since January, I since May). He reached his goal today. There was confetti, a camera, applause, and a good time for all. He has lost 77lbs. and looks terrific. It’s great knowing there are no worries about his health.

I’ve lost 22lbs. and the funny thing is that making the necessary changes in my eating habits was effortless. Seriously. Aside from not eating multiple Twinkies at a time, I’ve not missed anything. I still overeat Mexican every Sunday. I still have an occasional cheeseburger (although, I eat a LOT of BocaBurgers). I eat a little of anything I want. I do miss regular pop. Pepsi bottling company may be in financial trouble since my consumption of Mountain Dew has ended. Then again, I just switched it for Diet Dew, so I guess they’re ok. I do not and will not exercise and the only water I drink is the little bit I swallow when brushing my teeth. Overall, I love WW.
[Uh, wording corrected above]

It’s what you’ve been waiting for!

Time to rejoice, folks. My email is back! I don’t know what I did, but our ISP is apparently blocking my smtp port. Luckily, my zeromuch.com host provides an alternate port for people like me.

Funny thing, though. I tried that method weeks ago and it didn’t work. I guess the email gods were smiling on me today.

I’ve watched all of SG-1 now, and all I can say is, “Where the heck was I the last seven years?!?” This is so up my ally that I can’t believe I let it slip past me for so long. Then again, I was so full up on Buffy love that I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed as much as I do now.

Lesson learned: Timing is everything.

Sexy men, you say?

My latest addiction, In Touch Weekly has this week’s list of the 10 Sexiest Men of the Season. I agree with almost all of them.

The Sexiest______
10. Sense of Humor-Jamie Foxx (meh)
9. Rebel- Colin Farrell (GUH, buy it for this pic alone!)
8. Newcomer- Jason Momoa (meh)
7. Lips- Nick Lachey (I can see that)
6. Eyes- Gael Garcia Bernal (ooh, yeah)
5. Family Man- Colin Firth (meh)
4. Body- Taye Diggs (I know someone who agrees *g*)
3. Smile- Oliver Hudson (Yeah, ok)
2. Accent- Jude Law (You know how I feel about him!)
1. Everything- Brad Pitt (I think he’s past his prime, but still yumm)

Maybe I’ll make up my own list to compare and contrast….but I think it would read something like, 10. Sean Bean 9. Sean Bean 8. Sean Bean…..you get the picture. However I would like to add one category…Best Fictional Character–Major John Sheppard. *eg*

What took me so long?

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner. OK, I didn’t really think of it, but that’s just a matter of semantics. I’m 99% certain that I’m going to move to our place at the lake.

It would be rent free, a halfway decent location, and most of all–mine. We don’t have a boat right now (storm surge destroyed ours), but since it’s almost winter, who needs one? I can get a job down there, take Hobbit, get my stuff out of storage, and hopefully have a blast.

Whaddya think? Good idea?
