Hi all!
It’s been a while since I’ve sent out a “Lbs.” update. Just wanted to let you all know that it is now available on iTunes for $9.99. You can get more info on their site here. If you get it, don’t forget to let me know what you think!
I haven’t watched it in a while…thinking it might be time to again!

Today marks my fourth day on my new schedule. Third day with getting here by 10:30am. Amazingly, I’m actually doing a bit better at getting here on time at 10:30 than I was at noon. Isn’t that strange? In fact, I was so tired, I was in bed by 12:30am last night. But, we’ll see if it lasts. So far, I’m really liking it. In fact, I actually get to go to a movie tonight! I had a heck of a time finding someone that was able to go with me, but one of my friends is incredibly [ ... ]

Hi all! I hope you had a really great weekend. Mine was really good…but busy. I seem to be in the mood lately where I feel like I constantly have to be doing something. If I’m not out and about, I still feel like there’s things I need to be doing: laundry, blog posts, etc.
Saturday dawned bright and early…ugh. But I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting EVER with my friend, Christy (a/k/a Angelchrys – who is awesome by the way, so check her out). Most of you know that I’ve only ever done Weight Watchers online. Once [ ... ]

This is one of those “omg I’m disgusting and should avoid all reflective surfaces” kinds of days for me.
BUT.
I somehow, even with all the junk I ate, lost 2.9 lbs this week. Without trying. Imagine if I did try! I tweeted about it earlier this morning and someone replied that I must have been trying without noticing. I think she may be right and it’s a cool way of looking at it.
Even though I’m still a bunch of pounds heavier than I was a few weeks ago, I’ve decided something.
I’m going to forgive myself.
Even if I can only keep up [ ... ]

Seriously, people. I started laughing hysterically when I saw this list idea.
It would be easier to just say see the following:
www.amazon.com
www.borders.com
I mean, this IS me we’re talking about.
There are a lot of books I’m wanting to read this year, but here are some of my favorite authors of whom I’m hoping to catch their latest books:
Jim Butcher
Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Charlaine Harris
Lynsay Sands
Kerrelyn Sparks
Amy Knupp (have to mention a friend that writes Harlequin romances)
There are lots of others, but am currently drawing a blank…and in looking at that list, I’m sensing a theme…

Today’s list was a fill-in-the-blank. It read: “Things I Love About ________.” So, I picked reading. Of course. I mean, it is almost my favorite thing in the world.
Being able to escape into the story and forget all the worries, cares, etc. I have in my own life.
Finding new quotes that mean something to me or that I just think are especially profound or funny (I love collecting quotes).
The chance to not have to deal with or worry about anyone else: it’s just me and the story.
The opportunity to learn something new.
The opportunity to expand my vocabulary.
Being moved by the [ ... ]

I mentioned once before that “Lbs.” is up for a Spirit Award. The awards air this coming Saturday, February 26th, at 9pm CST on IFC. I won’t be able to watch it that night, but will most likely be taping it. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for them.
If you follow me on Twitter, you may have already seen my next bit of news. I get Google alerts for “Lbs.” and received one a couple of days ago for an interview with Matthew Bonifacio. I flagged it for follow up later to add here on my [ ... ]

Hi folks! It’s me again. Can you believe it? Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on my last rambling blog post. Thank you for reading and thank you for saying such sweet things that it made me cry (in a good way). You all are awesome. I think I need to remember what a great community there is on here. Lots of support.
I thought I would share with you the really fun day I had last Saturday. A couple of new friends I met last year (through Twitter, amazingly enough) have become really good friends to me [ ... ]

I used to have a lot of downtime at work. A lot. So I was constantly looking for things to fill up my time. And there’s only so much reading and movie watching a person can do. I also really like craft projects, and stumbled across this one in a magazine. Unfortunately, I don’t still have the instruction sheet I tore out of the magazine, so couldn’t pass it along to a friend when she asked how I made them. It had been a while, so I pulled one down from the wall and took apart a piece of it [ ... ]

Not much energy after a trying day at work (complete with 1.5 hrs of overtime), so this is going to be short and sweet.
Imagine my excitement to open up my mailbox today to discover this:
Unfortunately, haven’t had a chance to pop in the DVD and check out the special features yet, but I’m looking forward to it. Expect a full review once I get around to it. And, I don’t know if it was just luck, but check it out! The autographed postcard is numbered 1 of 95! Yay!
If you’re interested in getting your own, hop on over to [ ... ]

*Gasp* *Shudder*
It’s happened.
Ms. “I don’t think I want a Kindle because I love books too much” and Ms. “I love books more than anything in the world and I love nothing more than being in a bookstore” has gone over to the dark side.
I mentioned that I had asked for a Kindle for Christmas, but was having second (and third) thoughts about whether I really wanted one. I won’t rehash my arguments for and against as you can read them here. The Kindle entry on my Christmas list was never retracted, however, because I just wasn’t sure. And [ ... ]

It’s not a secret that I’ve been having a bit of a rough time lately. Been spending a lot of time beating myself up and had a bit of a pity party last night that a good friend tried to talk me through. It helped, and was wonderful knowing someone cared, but there are still things about myself that I just really don’t like and am pretty powerless to change. Of course, my weight is one thing that I can change, and one thing I intend to start working on again soon.
God bless friends that love you for who you [ ... ]

That is the question this holiday season.
You all know that I. am. a. book. fanatic. There is probably nothing I love more in this world than books. I love to read them, hold them, look at them. I like the shape, texture, and even the smell. Almost nothing makes me happier than being in a bookstore.
And I’ve rebelled against the e-reading trend. I’ve refused. I do have the Kindle app on my cell phone and have downloaded some free classics through Amazon, but haven’t really read any of them on it. There’s just something about having the book in your [ ... ]
