Say something random about you (Part 4)

Two random things that are making me happy at the moment:

1. Lifetime pre-Valentine's Day romance movie marathon (here's to cheesy guilty pleasures)

2. I've lost 17.4 pounds in about 6 weeks. If I keep losing at approximately this rate, I'll be thin no later than Halloween.

Hi Em!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your movies and good for you on the weight loss!

Hey Sami, I'm not "un-jealous" yet. I might have to take care of that soon.

Thanks, PJ!!!!

Watching the Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves romance The Lake House now. I saw it back when it was in theaters. Cried!!

LOL, Nay. I can relate. Sometimes I go overboard on projects if I really get into them. I'm can be an all or nothing kind of girl. I often either don't bother with something at all, or I go all out obsessive on it. However, when there is something that doesn't interest me that I have no choice but to do, I'll be honest, I can do a half-assed job in those situations.

BTW, I love the expression "wig in my widget". I know I've heard it before.

As for my weight loss secrets. There's no big groundbreaking new diet I'm doing. It's just a combination of things: I'm counting my calories and exercising. I just got back from the gym a little while ago. I was listening to Gerry and cast from The Phantom Of the Opera while I was on the treadmill. It sure makes time fly.

Also, I am taking two medications. One is an appetite suppressant called Phentermine, and the other is a drug that blocks some of the fat from the foods you eat and just flushes it out your, um, system instead. It's called Alli. Both of these drugs are safe for me to take. Phentermine requires a doctor's prescription, and Alli, though it doesn't require a prescription, is the only, to my knowledge, over-the-counter weight loss drug in the States that is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved.

Anyway, the meds just give me some extra help. They are not magic weight loss cures on their own. I still have to do the work of counting calories and exercising.

Em, thanks for the update. It sounds as if your resolve (along with medication & gym) is bringing long-term success for you. I feel quite proud of you, I must say.

Random:

Is it wrong that my pup likes 1000 count sheets?

1000 count sheets are nice and smooth, and the spaces between threads are almost non-existent. You don't snag 1000 count sheets often.

Are the 1000 count sheets the ones you sleep with? If so, it's not the thread count, the pup likes your smell.

I hope everyone is doing well! I am a bit slammed with work and relationship but you are always in my prayers.

Random: Got orange roses for Valentines in honor of the TN Vols. Tried to post a pick but haven't figured it out. By the time I do they may be dead!

Um...

Lisa Simpson called Jessica Simpson "Cousin Jessica".

Everytime I hear "Beiber fans" I hear "Beaver fans", the naughty kind.

I like Lady Gaga's music. I can't stand her, the way she dresses, or her music videos.

5. Tom Hardy's engagement is done?

Is it? I haven't been keeping up with a lot of things lately.

Holey carp!

It's been hailing on and off this evening. Right now, it's been pounding the house for a few minutes.

We are getting our share of bad weather now. Yes, in California. Signs of snow, hail, storms, etc.

Hi, Kim! I hope we hear from you again soon. I'll bet the roses were pretty.

And I think it's freaking adorable that Buddy loves to be near your scent.

Love the "Team Dignity" Berry/Aubry comment.

If Tom Hardy's engagement is really off, I'll be interested to see if that tabloid report I mentioned before that suggested he had something going on with Lindsay Lohan had anything to do with the engagement being called off, or if, in fact, it wasn't true and had nothing to do with this.

Oh and, Nay, I am dying to hear the story behind why you call Paltrow GoopGwynnie.

Alice, I hope you don't soon start to see locust plagues and frogs dropping from the sky too.......not a good sign........

J/K Stay safe!

What's wrong, DK?

DK....your posse is here. just let us know what we need to do.

Thanks Alice, Nay and Sami...

we love ya, DK!

Donna, I'm sorry you're sad. This makes me worried about you. But I know that if you wanted to talk about it, you would. Anyway, BIG HUGS.

Nay, thank you for the links. Interesting reads.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of "Gwynnie". Though I think she's a really talented actress who has made a lot of movies I like, something about her rubs me the wrong way. I respect her work, I just don't care for her personally. It's always been hard for me to put my finger on just what it is about her. But I like your use of the word "pompous". That might be exactly the word I was looking for. Snob and pretentious might be good words too. Although, I'm well aware of the fact that since I don't actually know her, my perception could be wrong, and she might actually be a lovely person.

I respect her as an artist, but she's done nothing for me to connect her work to my emotions.

And no matter how different she sounds in various accents, it always comes out sounding like her normal voice.

you are my hero, nay. i'm not big on digging in the dirt and admire anyone who does and will.
