Oh dear...

Mike and I went to a St. Patrick's Day party last Friday night at our friends house, we had already celebrated St. Patrick's Day on Thursday, the actual holiday but hey, whats wrong with 2 days of fun? Nothing I tell you...except for the slight body aches on Saturday when one realizes that one can not drink as much beer as one could when one was 22. (me) So I of course took lots of pictures at the party and Mike finally looked at them after a few days of them being on facebook...

Me: "Hey, wasn't that a fun party and we got to walk to it!" (and I bought us personalized beer mugs!)
Mike: "I thought your pants were pulled up too high"

Thank you.

Begin anew

I have been struggling with the same thing for, let me think about it...20 plus years, good lord. The thing is, weight or rather body image but now as I get older its about health. When I was in my early 20s I could speed eat peanut M&Ms and eat McDonald's after working all night and be okay, now if I eat sugar at work during the day, I can't stop yawning on the way home. And god help me if I eat McDonald's! Actually, god help Mike for having to be in the house with me.
And I thought I was okay, I had come close to accepting that this is how I am, but then there were several um, ass incidents. So its no secret that I have a booty, have since I was a baby, I used to lay on my stomach and my Mom could pat my butt because it suck up a lot. A few days ago at work I was standing talk to some people in a hallway near the OR and I heard a whirring noise and something hitting the floor, turned around and realize that my bum has set off the automatic candy dispenser and jelly beans are now on the floor. Fun.
Then last night, I went out with the boys to the Halfway for wings & beer, I am a token boy but I do not have a boy's metabolism. I was standing at the bar and was getting shoved quite a lot and I realized it was because of my booty, or maybe just my general mass was getting the way, lovely.
So every day is a new day and a chance to change your life and I begin again:
Weight: 210 (gasp!)
Diet: lacking structure
Will check in again next week

Fun with a scanner gun

Finally, finally we got to do one wedding thing that I have been waiting to do...we registered this past weekend. Bitchin' We went to Crate & Barrel and Target to register and they gave Mike the scanner gun right away, totally not fair! I snagged it towards the end though. The scanner gun was way more fun at Target, it was like an actually scanner thingy. The one at the Crate was little and didn't even make a fun beeping noise when you scanned something, it just vibrated. Mike thought I was a psycho because he was scanning something and I was like "NOOOOOOOO" because he would have scanned something that I didn't want and that would be the one thing someone bought us.
One of the people I work with, her son is getting married soon so we had looked at his registry, his had expensive really nice china on it, and multiple place settings, gorgeous stuff. This is what is included on our registry at Target:

• 47" flat screen LED TV
• Blu-ray player
• A deep fryer

Can you guess who had the scanner gun at that time?

I however registered for important things, like beer glasses and the Harry Potter movies.
