Decision to Make (and WWWW)

UGH! Went to mom's house last night to help with nieces. Stayed out too long. She sent me home with so much stuff, I didn't even bother getting it out of the car until this morning. I've got LOML*'s birthday present (it was in May) and my birthday present (it's not until October) as well as a few photo albums and some food. My present was some great new luggage that I will need in a few weeks when I go out of town. Mama decided it was on sale and I needed it 4 1/2 months early - no biggie. I do like it though.

Yesterday, I was invited to join The Food Confessional blog. It's basically a food diary to record food intake and thus help limit what you put in your mouth. I'm interested in accepting the invitation, but also quite intimidated by recording exactly what I eat on a daily basis for ALL to read. Recording calories and measuring foods seems overwhelming and bigger of a step than I am ready to take at this time. Besides, shouldn't weight loss be a personal thing. Being held accountable for my caloric intake would be helpful, but it seems like too much right now. As you can tell, I'm torn about whether to take the plunge or not. What do you think?

It is amazing the things people will publish on the internets. That's why there's "Wild Wild Web Wednesday." (that was an AWFUL transition, sorry!!)

• Check out the customizable "Do hit chair" (with sledgehammer.) Here's a video of it getting customized.
  
• Do you know your arse from your elbow? I got 11/14.
  
• spray paint art -
  
• 2-sided PB jar
• Patching walls in Italy with legos (of all things) -

That's all for now. I've got some thinking and weight losing to do. Hmmm.

Some Tee-Hee's for Tuesday

So now that all I've talked about for a week has been the ball, I'm ready to get back on track with the blog. Officially, it is "Techie Tuesday," but I am WAY behind on my "Made Me Smile" material and that list is much longer than the techie one. So...here we go:

• I was a fan of this song in high school and really haven't heard it since.
  
• If a turtle is without a shell, is he homeless or naked?
• I don't know why but this picture posted in a thrifting LiveJournal Community makes me crack up every time I look at it Nuns rollerskating, seriously funny!
• The 10 Top Funny, Odd and/or Interesting photos of 2007. Well, the first picture did NOT make me smile at all, but the rest are pretty funny.
• What do a hurricane, a tornado, and a redneck divorce have in common? Somebody's losing a trailer.
• These top 'craptions' of 2007 sure made me chuckle.
  
• J.K. Rowling may actually release another wizarding book for us Harry P fans.
  
• News reporters are people too and can even make embarrassingly naughty bloopers
• The same is true for young preachers during a sermon.
• Bob Barker even had to endure Bloopers on The Price Is Right.
  
• A sweatshirt for the Ball State Jays Wide Receiver that, because of an unfortunate graphic design read "all State B Jays Wide Receiver". . . .I tried to take a picture, but I think the person donning the shirt caught on before I could get the picture.
  
• The 2007 Darwin Awards have been announced. I haven't had time to go through them, but they are usually fairly amusing.
  
• We've all heard some pretty strange names. Here are the 20 Most Bizarre Celebrity Baby Names. I've got a few favorites, let me know what yours are.
• There is some pretty funny graffiti out there. WARNING!! second page of that link has a topless woman (why? IDK).
• You can't help but smile when you watch this kitten and two ferrets play with a paper bag. TOO CUTE!!
• Lastly, I smiled all the way through my Mardi Gras Ball as I drank, danced, and had a fabulous time.

I hope some of this made you smile too.

While I'm here, I'll go ahead with my goal weigh in...
Crafting - Haven't done any since Friday night (what can I say, the Ball consumed my weekend)
Losing Weight - Had a good dinner last night and a good lunch today, danced at ball, but no real exercise since last 'weigh in'.
Organizing - Have re-started making meal plans and cleaned kitchen last night

Goal Weigh-In

It's the third day of January. How is everyone doing on their resolutions and goals for 2008? I'm doing alright. In order to help me stay on track with my goals for the year, I will be making my progress public. Hopefully, on a weekly basis. So....

• I 've crafted everyday - Yay! On Tuesday (following a fantastic New Year's meal of fried pork chops, gravy, rice, black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes, and broccoli - Thanks Mama!), I painted and decoupaged some beads. Yesterday, I began to work on a few cards I was asked to make (by my mom) for a party on Saturday. I hope to work on them some more tonight, but I'm having some ladies from my Mardi Gras Society over to my house to work on their dance for the Ball's tableau.
• Since I am having people over, I have stayed fairly organized. Yet, have not accomplished GETTING organized.
• Sadly, though, I have not been working on losing weight as much as I should. I had a nice light lunch of Sushi, edamamme, and Miso soup yesterday. YUM! However, last night I took the easy way out and did a Stouffer's casserole for dinner. You already know what I had for New Year's lunch (bad, bad, bad) and we did pizza for dinner (worse, worse, worse.) Does that day have to count? I haven't really done any exercise since I've been cleaning, crafting, and watching Project Runway (last night.)
  

Dang, I gotta get on top of these goals. That's part of the getting organized. One day at a time, right?
