Updates! Get yer Updates here!

I know, I know ... mea culpa. It has been forever since I blogged. But I have a good reason for you. Well, maybe not a good reason .... more along the lines of a confession. Are you ready?

Here goes.... I've been cheating on all y'all.

"What's that?", you say ...." Cheating??"

Yep. Cheating. I have two other blogs going right now that have been taking precedence. The first being the American Idol Office Pool blog I'm moderating. And the second is my family's weight loss blog.

The good news is ... the weightloss competition ends at the end of this month (bring on the bon-bons!!!!!). So that will be one less blog.

The American Idol blog ... well, not so much. It is amazing how long they can drag out that competition! But now that the show is down to only two days per week I should have more time (don't take that as a promise though! Just sayin'! ;))

But anyway. Today ... we have updates! Right here ... on this lil ole blog! And so to start out - my gift to you for your patience is letting you in on a little secret. I have just discovered Heaven In A Bottle! What's that I hear y'all yelling out?... names of different types of booze. No, no .... (though whomever yelled out "Bailey's" is pretty convincing because I do love me the Bailey's) ... I have discovered a Non-Alcoholic Heaven In A Bottle. It is the following:

That's right ... Godiva's Belgian Blend Dark Chocolate Mocha. It is OMG Good! AND .... low fat! Only 4 grams of fat and 200 calories!!! So far I have only found it at a tiny market in NE .... but it is bound to be somewhere around where I shop normally. If not, it is Stuck In Traffic For An Hour To Get Some worthy! So do yourself a favor and try one!

Speaking of low fat, my diet in February did not go NEARLY as well as in January. And even though I really did a good job with it (minus the one week that may have included much cake ... what with the final cake in my cake decorating class being two-tiered and all) I think I only lost 2.5 pounds in February! WTF?!

And then! And THEN ... along comes March and T1 comes to town to visit for a week (with 7 month old Baby Q with whom I am in love!)). And we were out and about eating things which may have been a bit off the diet. (May have been). Ya know, like pizza, cuban food, mexican food, cake, ice-cream, hawaiian food, alcoholic beverages and err, perhaps even some Girl Scout cookies!

But get this ... I stepped on the scale the morning after she left and I had lost weight! Explain that one to me! Most weeks in February in which I stuck to the diet .... I lost bupkus. I go off diet for a week ..... I lose weight. I don't get it! (gahhhhh!)

So since she has left I have been not worrying TOO much about stringently sticking to the diet. Which is why I figure those Godiva's Mochas are allowed!! :)

And look what she brought me! How cute, right?! She remembered my new favorite phrase!!!

Okay, let's see .... what else?

OH ..... more shocking news!! So y'all remember the Shoe Incident on Date #1 and how I figured I has scared the guy off? Well, there has since been a Date #2 and a Date #3! And if y'all thought the Shoe Incident was bad .... get a load of this!

So Date #3 was this past Sunday morning. And it went alright ..... other than the fact that I maybe spent an hour over breakfast talking about how hard it is hide dead bodies! (What?!! It IS! Have you been watching the news lately?…. people are actually just giving up and storing them in their garages!). I mean, he laughed and all … but I’m thinking it MAY have just been a really nervous laugh. Especially when I then digressed into the use of thallium to poison people. (HAHAHAHA! Yeah, you’d think I was making this up, right?? But no … I SERIOUSLY discussed all this with him. Over breakfast! I crack me up!!!)

But it did seem to flow with the conversation at the time! (no, no ... I SWEAR!) I mean, we were talking about changes downtown and the hope that one will be for a new parking structure. I launch then into how parking structures are a really great way to gain wealth because, hello!, look at all the money those bring in with such little effort! Then I mentioned that storage places were supposedly also really good businesses to own for easy income. (all good, right? I'm demonstrating some business savvy. It's all relatively intelligent conversation. Uh yeah ... but wait!)

So then I might have said that I wouldn't want to own a storage place because people are always finding dead bodies there (hey ... they do!) Which then might have led to my hour long rant about how difficult it is to hide dead bodies nowadays! (oops? hehehe)

And I even had recent descriptive examples (yep ... over breakfast!!!) from the news in which the murderers gave up trying to hide the body and just dragged them back to their garage!

HAHAHA ... I slay me!!!!

But in my defense ... at least I said it was DIFFICULT to hide dead bodies, damnit!! Now had I said it was EASY ...... why THEN he'd have something to be freaked about! :)

And before you ask, yes ... amazingly he has since contacted me to say what a great time he had with me and to request another date.* Which is just proof really that the man is clearly crazier than a loon!!!! (But a damn fine lookin' loon so ... there ya go! :))

And me?...calling someone else "crazy"?? HAHAHA! Yeah, hello Pot, ....Kettle here! (heh)

So anyway, now I need to figure out another scary topic before we meet again. I've already shown him my fascination with shoes .... and I've mentioned my cats once or maybe ten billion times ....and now I've talked about hiding dead bodies ... I'm just not sure what other topic I can pull out to scare this man!!

Oh, but wait ... did y'all think it with me?! .... yeahhhhh, I don't believe I've mentioned The Knitting yet. Uh-oh ... surely THAT will do it. THAT will get him runnin' for sure!!!! :)

Okay, well that's all I can think of to share right now. So let me leave you with this cutey-patootey doggie photo. I took this at my friend's mardi gras party. Such a cute basset. He would do the basset howl whenever you stopped petting him. Too hysterical! And just look at that face!!!

say it with me ....."ahhhhhh"

Hope y'all are having a great week! And I'll try to log on here more (no, no really!). :)

*of course, he DID say that he only wanted to meet me in a public place where there would be "a lot of witnesses, uh I mean people around". HAHAHA. At least he has a sense of humor! He'll need that with me! :)
