Some of you may or may not know.. I am an account manager at a printing & media packaging company.
This came by my e-mail this morning and I just about died.
Especially the end, where everyone is waving to the truck of printing.. It takes a part of our soul!
Hehehehehehe!
Enjoy.

I stood in line 2 hours to get my passport this morning for the Jamaica trip. I also signed on the deposit this morning. Luckily, I checked my bank account to make sure my paycheck went in.. and what do I see? NO MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sandals dinged me for the entire trip, even though the receipt and what I signed off on says the deposit amount.
I called our travel agent, and she was panicked too. She called me back and said they are closed early for good Friday so no one can reverse the charges until Monday. We have a lot of things going to hit our account this weekend that will bounce. So I'm fuming. I'm not really happy with Sandals at this point. I told the agent to let them know. Not that they care, of course.
I'm really lucky though, my dad was able to cut me a check and get it deposited immediately to cover the UNAUTHORIZED charge. I explained to the bank, they can't reverse the charge, but they would deposit the check and make the funds available immediately. Disaster averted. But was more running around today than I wanted to do. Damn Sandals.

Entertainment & Jamaica!!
This has been such a busy week for me, and instead of doing my homework which I am very behind in.. I'm going to blog. Yup, that's me.
Seems like this week everyone loaded a bunch of crap on us to do.
Tuesday night I saw Horton Hear's a Who with my friend.. I have to say, it was not bad. I was a little nervous, last kid movie I saw was Bee Movie (SUCK). Who knew Jerry Seinfeld could not be funny? But the cast in Horton was fun.. Carol Burnett, Steven Carrol, Jim Carey.. And good graphics. So if you have to see it because you have a kid, don't fret!
The best part, I hadn't eaten much that day and decided I would splurge on candy, popcorn, or martini at the movie theatre. I got there.. and had nothing.
My reward, yesterday I was 232lb. I am 100% officially down 100lbs. 101lbs actually. Broke that plateau, I've been bouncing 234-238 for almost 2 weeks! I need 233 to be down 100. And bad eating, but eh.. darn.
I made yesterday another good day. Didn't eat much (I have not been feeling hungry lately).. so I splurged on Junior Mints and was still under 1,000 calories.
I wonder if the steroids and/or antibiotics I am on are causing this non-urge to eat. Cool!
Last night I went to the Blue Man Group - How to be a Megastar v. 2.0. I was really disappointed!! We went to the show last year, I could have sworn it was a different version.. but it wasn't, even the opening act was 100% identical to what I saw last year. So, it was still neat looking but the element of surprise is important in this show I think. I yawned a lot, especially during the end. If you've never seen it though, I highly recommend it. If you've seen it before, it's not worth a 2nd unless you were blithering drunk during the 1st run and don't remember anything.
I booked me and husband's anniversary trip for this year! As it ends up, our anniversary is 7/7, and I was looking for 7/3-7/8 trips. So many things were booked, extremely expensive, etc. A co-worker recommended a travel agent and the first thing she said "Do you want to travel on 4th of July? I can get better rates if we do other dates". DOH! I completely forgot about that. Guess it's going to be like that for the rest of our lives! So, we were lenient on dates, so in August we're going to Sandals in Jamaica. FUN IN THE SUN YA'LL!!! What's really cool, is that what I could find even on those dates, with airfare, for a 'decent' room, but one far from the beach with a garden view.. was X amount. This travel agent got us a room ON THE BEACH with a patio that opens right to the beach.. mmm.. with a concierge service... for almost 40% less than what I was able to find on my own. I now recommend travel agents, who knew?
I am very excited, since Sandals is all inclusive, we eat for free, party for free, get drunk for free.. I don't like itenerary trips, my dad use to do those when we went on family vacation (and to this day). It's stressful and I like being spontaneous. I know I want to do massages, tubing, lazy river, snorkling, maybe parasailing.. but I don't know when. I'll figure it out that day!
Now, I'm really buckling down this time. I always say it, but now I have a goal. I don't want to be the fat girl on the beach in Jamaica. So time to lose at least 30 more lbs by August. I can totally do this.

Granny Moments
Does the term "Granny Moments" mean anything to other people? It's something my family says at least once a day.. "Another granny moment". It stems from our granny who is self-proclaimed as "frisky", but setting into dementia. She does things regularly that are baffling, and we chalk it up to a granny moment.
So, there's that. I went to bed around 3am last night, but was up until about 6am catching up on my TiVo. At 7:30am, my mom calls. A call this early, even on a weekday, is suspect. So as I answer the phone, I'm having a mini-panic attack in my head.. We're having horrible storms at this time, hail, wind, flooding, blah blah. Perfect time to be in bed! So mom says, she needs a key to her house. It ends up, her oldest pug (my Maddie!) is old and senile herself, and she can't see or hear... so she gets stuck in the yard sometimes when she leaves the porch. Mom heard her crying, and she was cowered in the middle of the yard in the storm. So, mom gets up and goes and saves her.
Meanwhile, the new doors she had installed (wrong ones, and she threw a fit about them), self-lock when you close them. She kept saying "One day I'll lock myself out". It had to happen when my dad was out of town. She said she was out there since about 6am, but was waiting till later to call people. My husband returned their key a few months ago, so I told her to call my sister and let me know if she has one. Sister didn't, so mom wanted me to come pick her up. She is a smoker and has been out in the rain without smokes for a while, and asked me to stop and get her some on the way.
Too early, too stormy.. not enough sleep. I go in my PJ's.. no hair fix, no bra. The lady at the gas station cards me. Nothing new. Then, something in ordinary circumstances would have made me laugh, made me want to scream. She says, "This does not look like you". For crying out loud!!! I just sighed and stared at her. Driving 30 down 55 roads due to flooding, I get to mom's house.
I'm getting rained on, she's having her cigarette. I listen to how she hates the new doors. I brought my keys just in case I had one.. I don't know what my keys are anymore. So she tries it, eureka! My key unlocks the garage door.. oh wait, there's a deadbolt too. Oh, and with all new doors around the house, my key doesn't unlock anything else. Argh.
So then she was explaining how she can't get the screens off, but has an unlocked window. We go around back, I figure out how to get them off, but it might break it... they have 3 doors in the backyard, 2 regular ones, and 1 no one ever uses. I mentioned something about the 3rd unused door, and she goes "I forgot I have that door".. mind you it's only 10ft from the other door. Not hidden, it's on the porch too. Yahtzee. It's unlocked. She spent hours outside for nothin'. I woke up so early for nothin'.
Then she's afraid I'm going to tell the family how she had a "granny moment". She really hates that, even though when anyone else has one, it's funny. So I had to blog, about my mom's granny moment.
I got home, went back to sleep.. 2 hours later, she calls to tell me a joke. I go back to sleep, 3 hours later she calls to tell me it's hailing. I finally wake up then, and decide she must be lonely and bored with dad gone. So me and Russell offer to buy lunch and bring it over. She said no.. sheesssssh!
I just finished hanging the last of our new venetian blinds. Very pretty. The Market "Fresh"(mmhm) chicken club salad from Arby's is nasty.
I'm making dinner soon.. still sick, I feel like I can't breathe, every breath is a wheeze. I wonder if it's seasonal asthma.. I had that when I was a kid.

Funny Stuff
I read Fark.com, for my news. My favorite part, is that readers submit their own headlines to the article. Today is a really funny day some reason, so I thought I'd post those headlines and make my own comments.
And now here's the lap-band part.. today I made an effort to eat at least 200c for breakfast, since my friend told me I should to jump start my metabolism. That's hard for me, but I had a kudos bar and 1 packet of fruit & cream oatmeal. For lunch I had 3 bites of guacamole salad (man it was good, wish I could have had more). I put lemon juice on it and got it to-go, but we'll see how it holds up.. if it doesn't turn disgusting by dinner, that's what I'll have.
Without further ado, laugh some!
Amsterdam gays can now legally enjoy public sex in the city's biggest park, but they'd better not let their dog off its leash. Nothing I can say will compare to the funniness already there.
Woman threatens to kill herself. Friend says he's calling her bluff and gives her his gun. Oops. Jury convicts him of killing her. Actually, glad I read this. I've had pity-party friends who say things like that, and at some point I did the same thing.. "Well, do it already". I'm a good friend, really..
Town denies "adult entertainment" license because bar is too close to cemetery. After all, who wants to work around a bunch of stiffs? Just, hehe.
Church treasurer steals $1M in mission money to buy classic cars. Church members said they always thought it was strange how it always took $2 for them to feed a hungry child when everyone else did it for $1. Ugh.
Good: Single goes out to make a living. Bad: By selling cocaine. Good: She left the kids with a friend. Bad: She left the plate she cut the cocaine out and the kids went all Tyrone the crackhead on her. People like this need to have their tubes tied.
Southwest would like you to know they've repaired four of their airplanes on which maintenance had been an afterthought. And they only had big cracks in them, so there's really nothing to worry about with all the others. Fly Southwest. Eeek, I currently have a flight booked with them for May.
Police officer acquitted on child pornography charges, because he accidentally paid the $35 access fee to the site he accidentally went to, where he accidentally downloaded 8,742 images from the site, by accident. How sad.. I think people like this should have their nonos run through a meat grinder.
Oh, and is it odd that my husband doesn't know about my blog? I have kept diaries/journals since I was a kid, I have a drawer in our spare bedroom full of them. I have pointed them out to him and said.. if I die for whatever reason, there they are to read. But, otherwise they're off limits! Just because he forgets about it, I know he never looks at them. But if I do die, he gets to read about my first kiss, my 'first time', silly things I bought when I was 8 years old (yeah, I wrote about that), movies I saw, etc. I actually turn red when I read them myself, so I don't touch them either. In fact, I don't re-read this either because my brain always switches gears by time I finish writing. Maybe that's why I like to write. Mwhahaha. Anyway.

Jeremiah Meyer Band-Check it out!
So, tonight was a lot of fun. Since I moved back to Alabama, I've been lacking friends. Ironic, since it's my hometown! But, all my friends moved off like I did.. but only I came back. Waaaah.
Well, an old friend of mine, Jeremy moved back to town recently. After high school we fell out of touch. I was also friends with his brother, who I reconnected with briefly a year or so ago. In that time, it ends up Jeremy is now a musician putting out his CD (this is a flashback montage moment). Well funny thing, I work in the music industry! So long story short, we did the printing for his CD, and this is not bias-- it rocks.
If you like John Mayer, you'll love this guy. Hell, his name even sounds the same. His voice is amazing, the arrangements beautiful, and how can you not like that? Here's a plug for him-- Jeremy's Myspace
And you can buy his CD for a steal for $4.99 at CD Baby (online). Check out Maybe Tomorrow on the myspace, and tell me that's not sexy? And the drummer? Yeah I know, he's a hottie too.
So back to my excitement, since he's back in town we went to dinner tonight. It was a lot of fun! I splurged and had a Mudslide, but in my defense I have eaten really well today!! I had a kudos bar for b'fast (100c), 3 pieces of steak tips & 2 bites of salad for lunch (???c), and then the ONE mudslide and 4 cheese wedges from O'Charleys for dinner. It's so nice to reconnect with old friends! And he likes going to the movies.. my husband hates going to the movies.. I have a new movies buddy! HOORAY!!!
Now, go check him out.

But it's the Parallel Universe, Mom!
Get excited, I'm posting regularly. I'm going to try to keep it up!! Keep commenting, it's encouraging!
Last night I went to see Rain: A Beatle Experience.. tribute band. I have to say, after seeing Love Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, nothing compares. I even saw another travelling Beatles band that came to Huntsville last year that knocked the socks off these guys. Good thing the seats were free! Then I came home to American Idol Beatles night. How ironic is that? Even more people butchering the classics. No, really.. there were a couple I liked. But the country girl.. really? Really you think Beatles done Deliverance style was good? REALLY?
Anyway, we had to park at the library, way far away. This was due to a misunderstanding that is irrelevant. If you live in Huntsville, you know this is quite a walk. Especially late at night after a show. I was with mom, dad, and Russell. We get to a dark area and this guy-who was standing at a corner-starts following us on the other side of the street. I mentioned it, and everyone said they noticed he was stalking us too. So we all had a game plan.. ultimately, my dad would beat his ass.. We get to the car, the guy stops, turns back around. We saw an 18-wheeler up the street with his yellow lights on, so it's a looney tune 18-wheeler that was debating jumping us!
When we get in the car, Leslie called(my little sister) and told our mom she had a bad feeling about us. Mom said we were fine, and told us not to tell Leslie about it. She's a little unstable and flips out easy. Then Russell says "In a parallel universe, that guy did attack us". Ahhh yes, my dear geeky husband. He explained how "Everything than can happen, does happen in parallel universes". Blah blah geeky talk blah blah.
We got to Waffle House, and it came up what a hellion child I was. She said I was the best teenager of the 3, but the absolute worst child. She used the term "Demon Child". I was too independent and stubborn. I could go on for hours with the stories she tells me.. I can deny them all, because I don't know if it's true or not! Then she brought up, how me & Russell's kids will be. If our childhoods are any indication, we're in for a trip. She played it out, and I just about died. It's going to happen too, I can feel it!!
Me-"WHY DID YOU WRITE ON THE WALL JUNIOR!!!!"
Spawn-"Mom, I didn't!! Someone in a parallel universe did it!!"
Me-"ARGHAGHRHGHGHGH"
Spawn- "Go ask dad, he knows what I'm talking about!"
And this is at 5, I wonder how exciting they will be by 10?
And then today, I was going to cut the crap.. but argh.
Any idea what this nummy looking thing is on my work desk? That's right.. LUNCH! I had 1/2 of it. Russell wanted Italian for lunch.. Italian isn't my thang. Unless it's dessert of course, you can't be racist against desserts.. Just normal food.

Sick.. Doh!
Yesterday among my monthly group.. The Shrinkin' Violets.. We decided to CUT THE CRAP.. on Monday. Tuesday & Thursdays are typically CTCT.. but I felt Monday needed to be done. Several of us have been falling off the proverbial band wagon. I did good. Yay me. As soon as I got home from work, I smelled laundry in the air. This is important, because my dear husband thought this was my 'cause'. About 15 minutes later, once inside, my nose started itching and I went into a sneezing fit! Anytime I have sneezing fits, I think about my heart stopping. That's what they say.. that's why we say "Bless you!". Yea? I blew my nose. It still itched. I took a benadryl. Russell said, it must have been the laundry. Yeah honey, the smell of laundry messed up my nose. Benadryl knocked me out around 7pm, so I laid in bed and took a Zicam (which has taken grief about being a placebo.. but if it is, it still works for me!). Throat started aching. Oh dear. WAAAAAH. By this morning, I'm full blown sick. I just got over being sick not too long ago. The weather goes from high 70 degrees.. to ice & snow.. literally overnight. I guess it's messing with my head. But once in a zombie-state, I did have a strawberry ice, a dollup of whip cream, and a 90 calorie snack bag. I didn't want to eat any of that yesterday, just to prove I could do it. Yeah I showed me! But I was still low in calorie overall yesterday, so am still happy.
I have a friend who had the RnY a long time ago.. and she gained all her weight back. She decided to get back on the horse when I had my surgery. She said she was back down -63lb since I was banded. I'm not sure how that works, honestly. If the stomach is stretched back out, I guess she's just dieting. But I talked to her about my complacency, and today we are going to weigh ourselves and get back to racing! She told me to QUIT SKIPPING BREAKFAST. She said at the minimum I need 250c for b'fast to get my metabolism going. So I thought I'd do a yogurt and some cheerios. I forgot the cheerios, but I'm eating a 170 calorie yogurt. That'll have to do. Maybe some of this cold medicine stuff has calories in it.. tastes like cinnamon, so it should!
Cut the Crap Tuesday.. that's now! If you're reading this today, join us and make an effort to cut out the crap! :o)
And here is -99lbs down. My posture changed! Perhaps, this is the mighty key to why my back stopped hurting just a few months out. Now I'm just saggy. I'll take it! 60lbs(ish) to go. Hopefully, I'll tighten up.. pleeaseee?
