Woohoo shopping!  Drugstore, REI, PetsMart, gas station, grocery store, and not a whole lot left in my wallet.  But all the family members have food, so it’s all good.

Stopped in at the Chipotle to grab a coke on the way out of REI, I swear, I need to go in there sometime when I am on the way home so I can actually get something to eat to take along with me - it smells SO GOOD in there.  I’ve never been a huge burrito person, but again, it smells soooooooooooooo good!

Got two things at REI, Timex Expedition watch with a countdown timer and chrono (I love Timex.  Everything I needed and not expensive.) and a pedometer - wheee for accurate times and distances.

Desperate Housewives is one of those shows I love, but scares me ’cause I can’t help but think, “Damn, is that gonna be me someday?????”

Leaving the Brick last night, Todd & I passed a couple and as we walked by, we caught this from the gal:  “Attraction and desire just create suffering!”  Being the sensitive types that we are, we at least got about 10 feet past them before busting out laughing.  I don’t know why it struck us as hilarious, but it did.  I’m sure in context it made perfect sense.  God help the folks that hear half a sentence of most of my conversations.

So, Lance and the Prez went for a bike ride this weekend.  17 miles in two hours, which gives you a pace of 8.5 miles an hour.  Now, that’s a pace I can surely deal with - doing even 12MPH is usually hard for me.  (Speed has never been my strong point when cycling.)  However, I’m honestly wondering how Lance Armstrong didn’t fall off the bike from going so slow…

Tomorrow I go on 11-8 permanently.  I’m kinda excited about it - nice to have a change that *I* initiated, rather than one dropped on me out of nowhere, LOL.  Pup and I will be out and walking right after breakfast, and there will be breakfast - last time we went out early with no snacks beforehand, guess who got a splitting headache shortly thereafter?  Yeah, none of that bullshit this time around.  Found a permanent spot for the toaster oven on the counter and picked up cream cheese for my bagels at the market today, so I am prepared.

Dear lord, they’re talking on the news about people paying over $600 for jeans.  I get pissed when I have to pay more than $40 for a pair - I can’t even imagine shelling out that kind of money for jeans.  Hell, i didn’t spend that much on my dress when I got married.

I wish they wouldn’t run the West Wing at 11:35 on a Sunday night when I really should be going to bed.  It’s the one where they introduce Ainsley Hayes, and it’s a great one, so I won’t be turning it off.

I have to send mad props out to  for an absolutely wonderful, sweet, nice, thought provoking post today.  One of those that makes you think to yourself, “Wow, I am a total schmuck, but I’m not a hopeless case!” and you’re smiling while you’re thinking it.  (Or it could have just been my own twisted reaction to it.)  But regardless, it made me think about lots of things about myself, things that are good, some things I still need to work on, and that while you can’t hit the rewind button on life, hopefully you can make amends for previous moments of schmuckitude and keep from totally fucking things up going forward.
