Okay, first, as I suspected, mother nature leaped straight over spring and fell straight into summer – it was 86 here today! I’m not ready for that yet. In fact, I swear to God these flowers weren’t by our house yesterday:
This means time for weeding (ha, yeah right) and oh god, mowing soon!!!!
Second, I practically laughed the entire way into work today and am about to blow wide open an undercover conspiracy. There is a 24 Hour Fitness that I pass almost every day that I’ve considered joining. The two things that have held me back are that it [ ... ]

First, the cat’s out of the bag! I told my mom about my blog! I know! *gasp* But Mr. Carmine Famiglietti mentioned it on my Facebook page (my fault for not telling him it was a secret!) and since I couldn’t bring myself to delete his comment, I figured I’d spill the beans since she’d probably see it anyway. And I didn’t want her to find out like that. So if y’all would give my mom a great big “Hi,” I would appreciate it!
My mom’s one of my best friends in this world, so supportive, so it shouldn’t change my [ ... ]

Hi all! Why yes, I should be sleeping! Am I? Obviously not! Maybe I’m just too excited about weigh-in today. Or maybe I’m just not looking forward to work tonight (after last night). Who knows! But since I’m up, I thought I’d share an update on the movie “Lbs.”
“Lbs.” did AWESOME this weekend in NYC! In fact, they did so great that their run at the Village East Cinema has been extended for another week through April 8th! Here are the box office results:
Truly Indie’s “Lbs.” enjoyed the greatest per-screen average of the weekend with [ ... ]

To say that my day was filled with suckage would be to quote a massive understatement. We’re talking round-trip ticket to suck city. I say “round-trip,” because I refuse to stay in this place and refuse to believe that it won’t get better. And it will…tomorrow. As Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say, “Make it so.” Ten points if you can tell me who Jean Luc Picard is without clicking on the link.
Sometimes I love my job, sometimes I love the work I do. Other nights, not so much. Tonight was a “not so much” [ ... ]

Before I get to the good stuff, I want to put out the disclaimer that every product mentioned in this post was paid for by me, with my money.
First, I’m loving that I’m still on plan. I’ve missed my treadmill night the past two nights, but am hoping to get back on it soon. Food-wise, I’m doing good. Friday, as you know, I had a bit of an unexpected situation, but I dealt with it and tracked it. Last night, I was so freaking exhausted from stress and lack of good sleep that I had a fairly good-size piece of [ ... ]

Hi all! Sorry for so many posts today, but I just wanted to let you know that I just got good news about my dad. My mom just called me and said that everything looks fine with the CT scan, his heart looks great – no signs of heart attack or anything like that, and his blood pressure is behaving itself. They sat him up and it was fine and stood him up and walked him around and it’s fine. Hallelujah.
They have no idea what caused it, but said that it may have just been a result of the fall.
So [ ... ]

Hi all! We’re still waiting to hear news about my dad – I just talked to my mom and the nurse said that the doctor is just now reviewing the CT scan from last night and then will be up to talk to them. I’m still at home as I’m still not feeling well – I feel guilty about that, but my grandma just took my mom her lunch and I don’t think there’s much I can do there anyway. Thank you all so much for your kind comments. They are much appreciated.
So while I don’t have news [ ... ]

So you all know that I’ve been pretty focused on the movie “Lbs.” lately. Again, understatement. I’ve posted so many things about it and have been finding so many reviews about it now that it has been released, that it was getting hard for me to keep track of all of the gems that I had found. So I decided that I wanted a one stop shopping spot for it all.
You can find it on my toolbar above if you’re on my actual blog, or by clicking here. It has got links to all kinds of things: all [ ... ]

So let me tell you about my Friday.
First, I was getting ready to make pancakes this morning at about 4:30 am for part of my dinner (remember my odd schedule, right?). I was getting ready to mix the batter, when I heard a sound like something dropped. But immediately after that, I heard my mom’s shower shut off. I figure maybe she just dropped something in the shower. But after thinking about it for a minute, I decided that I better check to make sure. I went up and tried my dad first – he’s been sleeping in a recliner [ ... ]

Hi all!
“Lbs.” opens up in NY tomorrow! Seriously, there aren’t words for how excited I am for the cast and crew. I feel like a little girl the night before Christmas (who really isn’t going to get to enjoy the Christmas, but doesn’t know it yet). LOL But seriously, I am truly happy for them all. I wanted to share some more great reviews that have come out today:
The Hollywood Reporter
Film Journal International
Trust Movies – this one has great interviews with Carmine Famiglietti and Matthew Bonifacio
NY Times
If you haven’t already [ ... ]

Oh the irony of it all. When I posted last night, I hadn’t actually eaten the cake yet. But I ate it, and have really had no desire to eat more. I have no desire at all to go home from work and eat the entire pan. The ironic part is, is that it wasn’t the pure bliss that I thought it would be. I barely tasted the chocolate – all I tasted was sugar. Maybe I’m too addicted to my Hershey 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzels or something (a fave of mine). But this cake, one of my old [ ... ]

About 10 minutes ago was the first time that I had stepped foot in our kitchen since I got home from work.
First, I changed clothes and threw a load of laundry in. Then I hopped on the treadmill for 55 minutes to complete day number 12 in my challenge. I’m loving the SurfShelf so far, but will write more about that later.
After the workout, I showered and caught up on some blog reading and e-mail checking and just general goofing off on the internet. I did want to note an interesting word I got for the word verification on someone’s [ ... ]

Since I’ve raved nonstop about the movie “Lbs.” for the past few months, I figured it was high time that I did some raving about one of my best friends.
Her name is Riley LaShea (I bet you couldn’t guess that from the subject line!) and you can check out her site here.
Riley and her girlfriend, Shawna, are two of the closest friends I have in this world. I met Shawna in 1996 – my freshman year in college – and I met Riley in 1997 – my sophomore year in college. Now, almost 14 years later, we’re [ ... ]

In the latest “Lbs.” news – because, seriously, did you think I could let a day go by without mentioning it – there was a fantastic article about it in the NY Daily News. (I got this image from Lbs.’s Facebook page – click on image to see it.)
You can read it on the web
