Tagged again!

I'm pretty sure that my friend who created this was drunk at the time - not the same person (Trix) who tagged me though...

1. How do you describe your job to others? I work on computers

2. How often do you re-wear your socks before washing? I only wear socks when I'm cycling or running for the most part. I don't think re-wearing those is a good idea!

3. What is the worse sound possible you're hearing right now? The sound of fat cells being generated after a full week of eating badly!

4. Did you have to eat the last thing you ate? I think I did. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

5. Can you drive a stick-shift, talk on the phone, eat, and cuss at other drivers at the same time? I can do all of that at the same time except for eating. I can also text while driving a stick, talking on the phone and cussing at other drivers!

6. Last person you saw on your caller-ID you didn't want to talk to but you answered anyway? Would it be wrong if that person was my husband? Actually I believe it was the annoying consultant who is the project manager for my project. My husband came in a close second today though!

7. Would you claw your way through broken glass to say hi to the person who sent this to you? The answer is no... no matter who sent it.

8. Do you have trouble remembering how old you are? Always!

9. Do you understand the point of football? Yes! Football rules!

10. Would you ever drink a Tang Martini even if it had Grey Goose in it? I'm with Trix on this one! (Why the fuck would anyone want to waste Grey Goose on Tang?????)

11. Have you ever attempted to dye your hair with Kool-Aid? No

12. Most disgusting favorite food? According to my in-laws it would be sushi. The real answer is probably escargot. I don't think the in-laws know that I like escargot yet.

13. Is there footage somewhere of you "doing it"? No

14. Does size really matter? Most of the time

15. Have you ever accidentally broken something in anger? Yes but not often.

16. Did your mom or dad ever decide to throw away all your toys because you had too many? I think I did that actually every time my mom had a garage sale. I was all about making some cashola!

18. Coconuts or Ugli fruit? I'm going with Coconuts

19. Do you get emails from a certain person who you'd rather not but you don't have the heart to tell them? Occasionally still but not often anymore. I think she has taken the hint!

22. Would you be happy living in a trailer if it was for the right guy? No... The real question is what happened to question 17, 20, and 21??

23. Have you ever cried before, during or after sex? Probably

24. Is your closet messy? Not too bad

25. Have you kept in touch with friends from Elementary? Many have contacted me on Facebook recently. Kinda funny!

26. Did you hook up last night? Not even with the hubby!

27. Are you afraid of wrinkles? Afraid? No! Annoyed? Hell yes!

28. Do you have a plain, cheesy, or spicy attitude? Cheesy

29. Favorite nationality of men? Caucasian

30. What day of the week do you usually get a craving for a hamburger? I'm with Trix on this one too (Whichever one I was drinking the night before)

31.How many states of confusion have you lived in? I stopped counting

32. Blood diamonds or Blood gold? Neither?

33. Do roses really smell like poo poo poo? I don't like roses.

Biggest loser?

I certainly hope so! I'm hoping that the monetary incentive and my general competitive spirit will get me back in the right direction. I'm putting up $50 towards the contest and so far there are 11 of us. If I win, it will be $330 in my pocket. There are prizes for 2nd and 3rd but I didn't bother figuring out how much those would be because I WANNA WIN!

Anyway, the weigh-in was disturbing especially since their scale weighs 5 pounds heavier than mine. But I'm motivated at the moment and day 1 of eating like the healthy girl I used to be went pretty well. I didn't get any exercise in today but I plan on tomorrow morning either running outside or on the treadmill if the weather isn't good.

This is going to mean big sacrifices for the skinny people living in my house. For instance, I will be cooking a lot healthier and the teenager doesn't much like to eat anything unless it's fried or covered in cheese, salt or butter (or a combination). I won't be making any of that for her at least for the next month because I have too much temptation to "taste" what I'm cooking which becomes a double helping of something I shouldn't be eating in the first place.

Then there is the cookies they like to bake... they are required to eat them all. I cannot be trusted alone with a cookie. It's hard enough for me to not eat the frozen cookie dough!

The hardest part for me will be giving up wine. I really enjoy a glass or two of wine with dinner but the reality is that I'm drinking about 300 calories. Then there is the issue of getting the munchies when I drink which usually adds another 300-400 calories to the day. So I'm limiting myself to only drinking wine with dinner on Saturday nights. I may not live through that part! Wish me luck!

Tagged!

I was tagged by MattDaddy so I felt like I would actually follow through this time.

For those bloggers that I’m going to inflict this on, here are the rules: You take your folder in which you keep your digital photos, choose the fourth folder, then the fourth picture. Explain. Tag four people.



This was at Ren Fest in Magnolia, TX. The teenager's best friend paid to have her picture taken with the "executioner." They give them different names for the picture taking. The teenager had hers done too and she was labeled "Potty Mouth Name Caller." That was a very fun day!

Now to tag my unsuspecting friends: Nonsense Words, The B.S. Cafe, Trix in the City, and The Crazy Bloggin Canuck. I look forward to seeing what random pics you guys pull up.
