Palmolive

So apparently the Palmolive spout has a two stage opening. A little open and all the way open.
I must in the future be sure to have the Palmolive open only to the first stage, a little open. This is so important that it needed to be pointed out to me not once but twice with a visual demonstration.
Thank you sir, my life is now complete.

This bottle is closed.

This bottle is open but it is WRONG

This bottle is opened in the right way. Yahoo!

No, I'm not kidding

So he just read a cookbook to me. He bought several cookbooks at the flea market and in an attempt to convince me what a great purchase he had made, he read them to me. Just the titles of the recipes for the most part although in a few cases he read the entire recipe as well. On and on and on and on.....

The salad plate.

What I heard...."when she comes back ask for a clean salad plate.
What I said to the waitress...."can we have a clean salad plate"
What he said...."make that two"
What he said to me...."were you really going to just get a plate for yourself?"
Believe me it got even more stupid after that. An argument in Sonny's over a salad plate.

OK. I haven't posted since January? Where have I been?  Here's the update. I started school in March. Yay me! Nursing school. Finally going after my RN. Two terms down. Its tough. Thank goodness I have Ronnie which allows me to cut my work schedule to accommodate school. No way I could do this while working full time. Its hard enough working 20 hours and going to school full time. Been able to keep the grades up. My diet? Well..................  no change.
I am less than 2 months to the wedding and don't have a dress that fits me. Yes, I have a dress, no it doesn't fit me.
This week is dramatic dieting and probably will be until the wedding. For those of you who don't know (the skinny ones...why are you reading this?) Dramatic dieting is not eating anything in front of people who know you supposed to be dieting and sneaking food when no one is around.
I expect I can lose 15-20 pounds this way which is hopefully enough to get me in the dress. Breathing will not be possible or necessary.
So food diary? Yesterday Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl in the morning. Bowl or tomato soup with pita and hummus and the healthy green restaurant for lunch. Diet shake for dinner. Snuck 2 corn muffins and leftover mac n cheese. Today, diet shake for breakfast, headed to lunch now...........

HAHAHAHAHAHA

My wonderful honey found and purchased for me an antique KichenAide stand mixer. Its beautiful. Sage green with the beehive glass mixing bowl. So naturally I baked a cake.  Banana with cream cheese frosting.
I did not diet this weekend,
All right, let me cut myself a little break. I did think about my diet. I watched my portion control. I actually bought fresh fruit to have with breakfast, and ate it!  Don't tell anyone but it was really yummy. I had strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries with a very small portion of my delicious breakfast hash and was very satisfied. In fact afterward I was quite pleased that I hadn't stuffed myself with the heavy potatoes.
My weekend activities comprised of housework, Its really the only activity I had and it wasn't that strenuous. I did some walking but nothing special. I did not weigh in and won't for a few days..... I don't expect good news, so why ask.
So the breaking news is that I drop the night job after this week, What was I thinking? No middle aged, out of shape fat women can work 15 hour days for long without some serious donut fuel. I'm tired, and parts of my body ache that shouldn't ache unless you've ran a marathon (so I'm told) or had lots of really great rowdy sex. (not telling) Diet coke only goes so far! As far as the claims that lots of water will increase your energy, I call bullshit. So next week I will be home with my honey in the evenings, might even hit the gym just for the pure fun of it!
Love ya, mean it.

Q: Which is more annoying, a former smoker or a former fatty?

To catch up..........  my diet is still horrible but I have increased my water intake. Do I get an atta girl?   ...... I know. Probably not.
So this working day and night is getting the best of me. I am super tired. I miss my sweetie, a lot, eating 2 meals a day away from home is difficult, expensive and fattening and I feel like a guest in my own home. I'm on the back end of this assignment and I have learned my lesson, to not do this again. 
Diet aside I do feel like I'm turning a stress corner. I see light at the end of the tunnel regarding issues at home. My financial picture is looking up. The day job is picking up and I think it may become enjoyable again soon. When the night job ends I hope to get back to the gym a few nights a week which I think will do wonder for making me feel better physically.
I watched a Zumba commercial this morning while getting ready for work. I am such a victim of advertising, I almost bought the package! Now please understand, I can't dance. I don't even have a small amount of rhythm. I was once asked to leave a step class because I couldn't get it right. I was stepping left when everyone was stepping right, etc, etc. I already have multiple exercise DVD's that I never use and I pay monthly for a qym  I rarely see. Still, watching those Zumba folks this morning I wanted in!  I want in the skinny bitch club. I wanna shake my hips and not throw out my back. I wanna sweat and look sexy not gross. I wanna have a stomach I can show in public.
Pee break.
At this point as far as I can tell you can lose weight by drinking water because all the extra walking back and forth to the bathroom.
Love ya, mean it.

A: It depend on whether you need to quit smoking or lose weight.
