It's just a random kinda week, I guess.

Okaaaaaay.
Who wants to see my cat?!

Next up: weight. I need to lose some. Go ahead, I hear the collective groan and the "WHAT-E-VER!" being shouted at monitors. Come now, we all have our personal body image peeves. I worked really hard to lose some of the extra leftover baby pounds last summer and dropped almost 15 pounds. Buuuuuuuut thanks to Lexapro and the holidays I've put every.single.pound.back.on. It's frustrating. Clothes aren't fitting again. I know that my summer clothes will barely fit over my knees when the weather gets warm. It's gotta come off again. It has to. So it's March 1st. The deadline has hit. Tomorrow we go back to the full Herbalife regimen with self-discipline. I will miss you my sweet cookies. Fare thee well Pilsbury cinnamon rolls . . .

So the Hubs is a member of Lions International, commonly known as "Lions Club". Yes, he is Lion Hubs for those of you familiar with the civic organization. So today the Lions International magazine The Lion arrived in the mail and THIS is what I found on the back cover. Yep, old man shoes. He is probably one of only a dozen or so Lions who are under the age of forty in his particular group. This explains the old man shoes on the back cover of the magazine. I picture old guys all over the country kicking back in loungers wearing their purple and gold Lions vest reading their issue and seeing these on the back and thinking, "Oh yeah. These would go great with my brown double-knit slacks." That's right, the Dr. Scholl's shoes don't have VELCRO, they have Magic Cling. Sweeeeeet. Yes, I just mocked old people on my blog.

Spicey and I went on a renegade outing yesterday to the post office and library where I checked out the fastest two books and DVD ever. She rode in the umbrella stroller with her back arched yelling "I wan get ooooooooouuuuuuut" over and over while people gave us dirty looks. Fun times! I grabbed two more Jane Austens and the first volume of A&E's Pride and Prejudice movie. I watched all three hours in one sitting last night. While I was really, really disappointed in the actors who played the characters I was pretty much glued. They just didn't look anything like I had pictured in the book. I imagined Mr. Darcy being more haughty and aloof rather than sulky and scowling. And Jane was just a big old mess. Not the remarkable beauty she was described as being. I was really excited to find that it followed the book nearly letter for letter.

My internet was out all morning. After an hour of troubleshooting I finally decided I should use the free time to do something productive instead of sitting in my desk chair rocking back and forth and moaning. So Spicey and I did what any smart girl would do. We went to the mall. And bought fabric. And some cute clothes for her for spring . . . pink with green turtles and flowers all over them. Spicey behaved beautifully and sat in her stroller quietly picking toe-jam after she tore off her shoes and socks. Hooray! When I came home I called the cable internet provider and he walked me through the problem. So here I am again and only x-amount of dollars poorer.

Life is glamourous.
