I way over estimated my morning dose of cottage cheese.
I may not have gone over my target as initially calculated. I wonder if WW will let me revise my daily input.

don't know why, but i must have rubbed kitty/catness into them. and now i'm blinking. bleh. the cats are sleepy since i fed them OTC junkish food. Purina, I'm sure, can't be that good for them. But they do like it. ANd so, I brought home a peace offering. Which remindes me, I need to buy another cat carrier. They're too big to fit together in the one that I do have. Hmm.
And so folks - Irene went to the gym this morning. There's no point in going to any of the other locations. Columbus Circle Equinoex kicks. If anything, simply for the copious number of treadmills, bikes, etc. and the stunning locker room. That extra space in the morning really makes a difference. It's an extra subway stop for me, but I'm sold on it.
Just call me the queen of the HeartFit machine (or something with a big heart on it). Looking at what that effort "bought" me in Weight Watchers is kind of disheartening. (ha). But, something is better than the nothing I was doing before. No? Who cares. I mean really, the fact that I"m getting on the damn machine is a big deal for me. I need to find out where they have their rowing machines. Zee arms have been getting larely ignored in these fitness outings.
Hmnph. The beginning episode of Lost is dragging. I've seen too much of this 2 hour extravaganza already. The recap isn't working for me.

you can claim a parental excuse to not have to work
if you don"t _ then there isn"t a reason_ i"m irked_ and if you"re wondering why my punctuation is all screwy i BLAME THE keyboard_
i thought it was only the period key that wasn't working. OH! OH! there it is . whatever bad thing I did (and no, it wasn't the caps key- I checked) is gone. phew.
i just had to tell alison i'm working late tuesday. we (the dev team at the office) are working late. moving the review session has an impact to a big project deliverable so it's not an option. it's building on the irritation i have about working too much this week. yesterday I got to the gym at 5:55am. Yes, it was dark. but the goal was to be in early enough, so i could take a 7 am call in the office. i had an 8-10 am mtg with my boss and there wasn't going to be enough time to commute. i did the early stint so I could leave early. there was a huge party alison snagged a spot for me, and i couldn't go. i brought nice clothes, makeup, everything. and i was at the office. and i didn't even order dinner. i was too busy on my freaking deliverable.
ARG.
but back to the parent thing - why ? so annnoying.
my version of day care could be that bloomindales closes at a certain time. or that eye brow stylists don't work at night. or that i want to hit the beauty counter before it's a mob scene.
i am deferring my laundry for this eve. i would rather stay home. i need to call my dad and my brother. get this, my dad is 75 today.
That's huge!
Ok, I hsould call.

they keep me entertained. and don't get visibly annoyed when i over pet.
watching Dateline is making me sad. (Why shouldn't it?) They just showed a bit on animals that tread water for 5 hours. In their cages. Cats included.
We're so luck it hurts.
This is one reason why hanging out with my aunt and parents was a good thing. THere's always something to be done, so less time to sit and watch the tv. Well, we watched it, but it's hard to focus with both of my parents arguing over how incredibly inept our president is. Loudly. (They really don't like him.)
Erp. Commercial break over.

i'm going to use a different vendor's blogging utility at work. as part of my job. and it seems to be better than sliced bread. ok, slight exageration, but still. we're not very technology forward (sometimes).
enough about that. i did not work this weekend. i enjoyed the sun and birds (without an iota of stress). well, after i paid my bills there was no stress. I am now poor until i deposit a refund check. or until i get paid again.
it's a good thing, otherwise i would have been tempted to shop away.
and now that i sit here, i totally regret not buying the big red poofy pillows my Mom spotted.
not going to think about it.
(but I may ask her to stop by Target during the week. Oh! Maybe that gives me an excuse to visit the Target in Queens.)
I had a point when I started this -- right. The internet in my house is uber fast when most people are away on vacation. Seriously. It's blindingly fast. Mmm.

and it's a big deal to be able to say that. as much as i am frustrated by being a renter, i do live on the 5th floor of a building. assuming we don't ever experience a tsunmai on the east coast, I should be able to make it through a stormy wet night.
i just watched cnn report that the first bus has been turned away from the houston dome.
what do you do?
like a retard, it didn't occur to me how many people i know who are originally from the south. and you can't call people up you haven't spoken to in weeks and ask.

It started with a trip, but then ...
