Yesterday was a loss. My brain was on other things. We were supposed to go to the gym after work and, somehow, my auto pilot took us home instead of the gym. So, we decided to just go for a walk in the neighborhood since it was nice out. I forgot when we left and have no clue how long we were gone. I know it doesn't really matter in the long-haul, though.

I made hot dogs for my son last night and I wanted one. So I ate it and decided that it was sooooo salty. So, I decided to have another. WTF??? Whatever....so I am all bloated and thirsty today. I went over calories, although not too bad, and I was under-active. I guess it is good to shake things up a bit once and a while? Scott wants pizza tonight. He wanted doughnuts this morning. I put the kabash on doing both so he decided on pizza tonight, and IHOP on Sunday. Wassup with that? Oh well. It's his money, too. Maybe he craves junk food when he is stressed? There's a possibility I hadn't considered. Sounds perfectly normal to me.

I have to teach myself how to live a normal life and making the best of the situation. IHOP has a yogurt and fruit plate that is REALLY good. We usually share one for like an appetizer. It'll work out alright.

Update: Today I am wearing an OLD (as in almost 10 yrs old) pair of jeans, size 22T (Tall). Why did I buy these? My legs are long, but my torso isn't. Only sensible thing I can think of was that the regular 22's were too short in the legs so I got the T. Anyway, they are way too big in the thigh and hips and the waist goes up about 2 or 3 inches too high. <sigh> These get added not to the fat clothes pile (although they are big), but to the stupid purchase pile (because they are more stupid than big)....along with their different colored friends.

My future employer had a realtor contact me today so I have been working with her all day trying to narrow down some neigborhoods to visit on Monday. We have decided to suck it up and pay the extra money for the good school out there after the realtor just raved about it. We showed the school's website to my son yesterday and he is SOOOO excited. They really do have an awesome program. I want my son to grow up excited about going to school and looking at his education like it is a priviledge. Yup, I'm willing to pay good money for it, too.

Cindy, you'll thrive in a corporate culture that allows you to be an Energizer

You bring a unique energy to any work scene. Your infectious enthusiasm and zeal for what you do serve as an inspiration to others. The idea of following traditions and rules just for their own sake does not make a whole lot of sense to you. But that doesn't mean you slack off and find loopholes. Part of what's inspiring about you is that you come to the table with a strong work ethic and ability to get things done under pressure.

But your ability to motivate yourself and others can be snuffed out if you're working for a company that's not based on a system that values your contributions.

Wow...how true is that? This one definitely has me pegged! This place "snuffed me out"...with said end results.
