Here and There

There is a certain website out there in the land of internet that has caught on like a wildfire. Seriously. If I didn't have to work and/or people just gave me money to sit around all day to play on this website, I probably, maybe would. Okay, maybe not all day. Anyway, Pinterest is probably one of the biggest time sucks out there. And I mean that in the kindest of ways. Basically, it's a virtual pin board for anything crafty, holiday ideas, clothes you want to try, recipes that make you salivate just thinking about them. It takes the manual labor out of the equation. No scissors. No glue. No buying poster boards. For OCD people like me, Pinterest keeps it all stored in one spot and arranges any post into the category of my choosing. 

Anyhow, the whole point of me sharing this, is that on one of my pin boards, there is a certain pin that has reached epic proportions. I mean for someone who isn't in the business of photography or doing anything creative as a full time job, it's pretty epic for me. Here is the pin from my "The Geek In Me" board:


This pin has reached 688 repins, 163 likes and  23 comments since I posted it just over a month ago. Again, for someone who has to work 40 hours a week, it amazes me that that many people have repinned such a silly thing. It makes me think 2 things: 1. wow...people don't have anything better to do? and 2. Man, I'm so cool. I can't wait to find another pin that gets that much attention. 

To add to the list of things that I'm currently in love with: 

anything and everything by Ennio Morricone including:
The Mission: Gabriel's Oboe
The Mission: The Falls
Sergio Leone Suite in it's entirety
Giuseppe Tornatore Suite in it's entirety
(look them up. I'm sure they're on youtube)

I Won't Give Up 
by Jason Mraz



I'm not entirely crazy about the video, but the sentiments are amazing.

And....

Fix You
by Coldplay 
as sung by Glee




And that, my friends, is the end. 
Until next time.

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just

Slowly but surely

The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising. I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly. I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of
