I'm the kind of person who...

Believes that if you push the elevator button multiple times - it will arrive faster.

Will try to cook something along with a cooking show, only to throw all the food away when it tastes like crap.

Has to have all of the bottles, cans of soda, bottles of condiments, etc in the refrigerator facing the same direction.

Carries on 5+ min conversations with myself and/or my dog.

Thanks to his grandmother, is extremely superstitious, and WILL NOT put shoes on any table or a hat on the bed.

Thinks that beer, wine, or liquor just tastes better after midnight.

Balances my checkbook old-school style with a register, calculator, and bank statement once a week.

Despises voice mails.

Loves getting mail - even bills.

Won't touch raw meat, instead I wear kitchen or latex gloves when handling raw meat.

Tuesday Afternoon, "I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way..."

Anyone know where that title hails from?

Well, well, well...It's been a little over one week and get this, I've lost 4 pounds! Can you believe it? I still can't, let's hope that I have the will power to keep this up. Granted, it's not that hard, it's just time consuming trying to figure out what to eat before you actually eat it, and counting your points, other than that Weight Watchers isn't that hard to follow. I will admit it's much easier to just pick something out and eat it - not worrying about points, but I'll be happy with around 20 pounds, so I'll keep it up.

This past weekend I finally found a new computer! I have been looking since Christmas, and I wasn't able to find just the right one. Well, I finally did! I'm typing this very blog on my brand new pimped out Sony Vaio. It's awesome, though, it's going to take me some time to fully figure out Windows 7, and though I have the 64 bit version, I'm not really sure what the difference is between it and the 32 bit version. It's the perfect size, slightly over 13 inches and it couldn't be any faster! This is my second Vaio, and both receive and A+ in my book.

Since being turned on to Ina Garten (Ms. Barefoot Contessa) by Telly, I've become vexed by her and her cooking show. There is something about her and her show that I really like, her recipes are classy, delicious, yet down to earth and doable. In another [read: prebusiness school years] life I wanted to go to culinary school. Maybe when I retire I can finally do it. Oh, but I do have to say this. I HATE the Neely's who also have a show on the Food Network. Their gratuitous use of the words: honey, baby, mmmmm, Mama, Ugh weee, etc make me want to vomit all over the remote. I cannot stand their annoying asses. Food Network, can them, no pun intended.

Is it just me, or is the new Microsoft Bing restaurant/vampire commercial scary & disturbing? It gives me a rapid heart beat & chest pains every time I see it!

Couple of thoughts...

David Guetta
My latest obsession: David Guetta. You may, or may not have heard of him. I hadn’t until about three weeks ago. He is very well known music producer in France who is just now beginning to break on to the scene, so to speak, in the United State. Um, what can I say besides uber talented. His music style isn’t for everyone, but it is for me. It very techy, electronic, and catchy. You most likely have (or soon will have) heard his latest song featuring Akon – Sexy Chick. Check it out here.

Winning Points, Winning Choices
I officially started the Weight Watchers, Winning Points program at the first of the year. It was a little challenging at the beginning, but I’m pretty sure that I’ve got it now. So far, no cheating and I’ve have stayed within my daily points range. I’m being realistic, so I really like the fact that Weight Watchers still allows for eating out and some occasional fast food. I weigh in again on Monday, results to follow. 20 pounds or bust…fingers crossed.

Patience is a virtue...
So I had a bit of an impulse by the other day. I found this very cool and different cologne that was being described on TV by a celebrity. One problem, it’s pretty much only available in Europe. Not to worry, though, FedEx delivers! I can’t wait for my new colognes arrival. I am big on buying things before I even get to see, touch, or smell them, and this purchase is no different. I bought my Lexus without even seeing it, special ordered it and had it shipped in from Japan. I bought my current car without even driving it. I purchased it and the first time I drove it, was off the lot. I’m a bit of a cologne whore so this will fit nicely with my collection – I hope!

Standing before an open door never resulted in a single changed life. Walking through an open door changed the lives of many. Are you willing to walk thru it?
