just a super quick post...
 
to say my "official" weigh-in did have me at 133 lbs, for a loss of 3. :) let's hope I can keep it going this week...

Kitten War!
 
My Padm� is doing so well! :) Granted, it's not a huge lead in the battles she's won compared to those she's lost, but looking at other kitties' scores, I'd say she's doing pretty darn good!

Minnie isn't doing as well, and I can't figure out why. :( My MamaCat is such a pretty bear...these ppl obviously don't know a sexy beast when they see one. :P

since official weigh-in day will be Monday, but I got on the scale this morning and here are the results:

Must-See TV
 


If you haven't seen Weeds on Showtime yet (and you have Showtime, of course), shame on you! :) I am addicted to this show...I rewatch it on Monday, Wednesday, AND Friday if we aren't watching something else. I have even watched the replays back-to-back! It's insanely good. I get irate that I have to wait til the next Sunday to see a new episode. I was really worried about what to watch on Sunday nights after QaF was gone. While this will never replace my QaF (LOVE YOU, EMMETT!! - CALL ME!), it certainly helps to heal the wounds a bit. :)

argh...getting back into the swing of things...
 
mood: frustrated
listening to: Friends in the other room

So, I started back on Weight Watchers today. I have to get down to 125 before my bday. I am currently at 136 according to our scale. I was 138 at the doctor's office week before last, though. Either way, I need to lose about 10 lbs. I want to be a size 8 in all my clothes...right now I am a 10...and that stuff is getting snug.

Because of my current weight, I only get 20 points a day, plus my 35 flex points for the week. I have already blown through my 20 pts and used 3 flex points. *sighs* I know I can't be too hard on myself since I haven't done this in a while, but it is nonetheless frustrating.

How excited am I?
 

mood: not bad for Monday
listening to: You and I - Jason Mraz

How excited am I that The Transporter 2 is coming out on Sept. 2nd? I admit, Mom had to twist my arm to borrow the first one from her, but the movie totally kicked! Of course, I do have a wee crush on Jason Statham, but that's neither here nor there. (no worries, Ewan!) :)

Do You Remember These Movie Scenes?
 
Juli sent this to me, and I thought I would post it here for all you guys to try. I was able to get 44 of the 60 scenes without any outside help. I really thought I would do better than that...and I am sure I will feel stupid once I see what they are. :)

Right click-save this Excel file, open it with Excel, and enter the movie titles and it will tell you if you are correct or not, and it will give you a total of how many you get right at the bottom.

Comment to this post and tell me how you did! :) MTFBWY!

Site Feed!
 
mood: meh
listening to: tv in living room

I finally set up a site feed for my blog. Those of you who use livejournal to publish your blog are lucky enough to have it built in. I finally found a site that will set it all up for me. Yay for reading the Blogger help files on xml syndication! :) Anyhooooo...the link is: Ramblings of an Insane Redhead. For those using Mozilla, you can now use the handy Live Bookmark feature to keep track of updates to my blog! You can see other options for tracking it on the feed page.

Sarafina's Kitchen is published on blogger itself, so it already has a feed setup.

Finally...I have both blogs set up and easier to track. :)

darn you, Domino & Lucky!!
 
mood: relaxed and sleepy
listening to: whatever D is watching in the other room

So...I sat down tonite to a leisurely perusal of my new Domino and Lucky magazines. I have taken to window shopping in those rather than spending money I don't have. I came across three new websites that I am in love with:

  • Carrot and Stick Press
  • Flight001.com
  • CB2.com

    Of course, items from all three made it on to my newly updated wish list. I removed the clothing stuff from the list...I am more interested in home stuff right now. I did leave some of the Sephora goodies up there, well, because I am a girlie girl who likes that sort of stuff.



    A few highlights:
  • Red & White Toile Luggage Tag
  • starburst platter
  • Fern Folded Notes

    I am about to go sit down and finish Confessions of a Shopoholic. I don't have much left, and I can't seem to put it down now. I even found myself reading it at stop lights on the way homes this afternoon. I have mastered that careful "balance it on the steering wheel so you can watch traffic" manuever. :)

    we interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging...
     
    mood: dissappointed
    listening to: Friends in the other room

    for randomness:


    I am The Hermit

    The Hermit often suggests a need for time alone - a period of reflection when distractions are limited. In times of action and high energy, he stands for the still center that must be created for balance. He can also indicate that withdrawal or retreat is advised for the moment. In addition, the Hermit can represent seeking of all kinds, especially for deeper understanding or the truth of a situation. "Seek, and ye shall find," we have been told, and so the Hermit stands for guidance as well. We can receive help from wise teachers, and, in turn, help others as we progress.

    Don't Touch My Willie
     
    mood: silly
    listening to: Don't Touch My Willie - Kevin Fowler


    She showed up at my house at half past nine
    In a low-cut dress with a bottle of wine
    She said this will be a night you won't forget

    She poured us some drinks to get us into the mood
    I reached for the lights, she reached for my tunes
    She pulled out that Red Headed Stranger, I stood up and said

    Don't touch my Willie
    I don't know you that well
    Help yourself to some Haggard or some Jones
    Hell, or anybody else
    I don't know what you heard
    I ain't that kind of guy
    Yeah so don't touch my Willie,
    We'll get a long just fine

    She said she never met a man like me in her life
    Who wouldn't share his Willie on the very first night
    I said it's nothing personal, don't take it so hard

    I don't pull out my Willie for just anyone
    There's a lot of other records that you can choose from
    So let me make myself clear before you go too far

    Don't touch my Willie
    I don't know you that well
    Help yourself to some Haggard or some Jones
    Hell, or anybody else
    I don't know what you heard
    I ain't that kind of guy
    Yeah so don't touch my Willie,
    We'll get a long just fine

    Keep your hands off my Willie,
    We'll get along just fine

    this 'n' that
     
    mood: surprisingly upbeat
    listening to: Will Smith - Switch

    Considering what an absolutely stressful week it has been, I am surprisingly upbeat this morning.

    We finally got the computer fixed and running again...all I have to load onto it still is itunes, D's camera software, and the software and driver for the printer. It looks like the only things I lost were some custom paint tubes and filters for PSP, but that's only because I forgot to tell them to pull those off. I am sure I can find most of them again online somewhere.

    We had a long talk about money again last night. This month is going to be tighter than ever since I paid off both my credit cards. That means I absolutely cannot go out shopping or go near ebay (esp. since I just won a neopets happy meal toy from last year I have been wanting). The only thing I am going to budget for is a new comforter set I found for our room that I am absolutely in love with. The queen set is only $70, so D said he would help me find a way to budget it and get it this month. I will put it away til we get the rest of the stuff for that room, like curtains and new pictures to hang on the wall that will match. I also have to figure out how to kitty-proof it. :p
