Boredom

Tuesday night and nothing to do. Work was slow so I got sent home early which is fine with me. If it's not busy there I go stir crazy, plus I end up doing all the sidework because most of my other servers become very lazy on slow days. I'm the opposite, I have an abundance of nervous energy and need to keep myself busy. I think I'm going to clean my floors.

I watched the Presidential Address tonight. I'm so glad that combat operations are finished in Iraq, I have too many friends in the Armed Services and I want them all to stay HERE! I hope the Iraqis can govern themselves with honor, integrity and dignity and move forward toward a system of democracy and equality.

That's all for now, off to clean lol! Nighty night!

Holy Crackers!

Well hello there! I just realized I haven't blogged in almost four months! GAH! The last time I blogged I mentioned that I've been trying to lose weight. Well in the last four months I've lost 35 pounds!!! And I had lost about 15 before that just from the fact that I'm always walking at work. So in all I've lost about 50 pounds from my heaviest weight! I feel so good in my body, haven't had any back pain in a long time. I love all the people who I haven't seen in a long time who are telling me how good I look! That's all the encouragement I need right there to keep working at getting to my goal weight! I try to work out about five days a week in the gym but I exercise in some way every single day. I also try to mix things up so that my body isn't getting used to a certain pattern. I try to do a lot of cardio when I go to the gym and I do some weights too but I've always been pretty muscular so I don't go crazy on the weight machines. Not trying to look like a body-builder lol. I've also been eating much better to go along with all my exercise. I've cut way down on starches like pastas and potato products. I've never been a soda drinker so that's not a concern but I have been making sure to drink lots and lots of water. When I cook at home I always bake or roast my food, never fry anything. I also try to buy fresh meats and veggies, no frozen pre-packaged meats or anything like that. I don't snack and I've never liked junk food so I haven't really had to sacrifice anything like that.

Now on to something else I'm excited about!

TRUE BLOOD! That's all I have to say lol! This season has been awesome and that's thanks totally to Denis O'Hare who is a JOY (!!!) to watch as Russell Edgington, Vampire King of Mississippi (say with a heavy Southern draaawl), the oldest vampire we've seen to date on the show. Mr. O'Hare's character is so charming and mesmerizing it's hard to take one's eyes off him. He definitely steals EVERY scene in which he appears. I especially love the relationship between Russell and Talbot his handsome, high-strung lover for 700 years. Like Russell says, "Try spending eternity together, that takes commitment." The rest of the cast are good as always but I'm always waiting for Russell to show up on screen and hit us with one of his brilliantly droll one-liners. Some of the plotlines ARE starting to bore me a bit though, the whole Bill/Sookie fight, makeup, fight, makeup cycle is starting to get waaay old. I do love that we've seen how deeply Eric and Pam care for each other. Other than Russell, Eric is definitely my favorite character and Pam is lovely :) Arlene has had a nice arc as well, and Carrie Preston has done a wonderful job playing her. The season finale is in a little less than two weeks and I'm excited to see how everything is going to unfold! All I know is that I don't want Russell to die, even if he is batshit crazy and not a little evil!

Well, that's all I have for now. Thanks for stopping by :)
