OK, the serious dieting must begin, and the reason is threefold (as was the purpose of Chandler being in the box on Thanksgiving on "Friends," but I digress).
1. My 10-year high school reunion is this summer. I'd like to look really good, but I'll settle for decent.
2. We're going on vacation to the Outer Banks with my in-laws in June. See second sentence of No. 1.
3. I'm just tired of being fat and depressed.
In other news, I think I'm getting sick. I'm pretty sure I'm going to wake up with a full-blown cold, which makes me very unhappy. I keep hoping maybe it's just my sinuses since it was so nice and warm today after the evilness and cold, but I think it's just a pipe dream.
In news not related to me whatsoever, Johnny Cochran died, so he is now burning in hell for repeatedly getting murderers and other bad seeds acquitted.
And speaking of people going to hell, I hear Jerry Falwell's in the hospital again. They say he's clinically stable but critically ill, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Either the house is extremely hot right now, or my sinus problems are causing me to run a fever. Either way, I feel like I'm having a heat stroke and going outside doesn't help because I just get overheated as soon as I come back inside! Bleh.
I haven't been able to post because Dave keeps hogging the computer, but that's OK because I don't have much to say right now.
I discovered this morning -- yes, I'm awake waaay before noon and I'm not happy about it (thank you sinuses) -- that we only have four more payments on the car! Woo-hoo! I was planning on getting rid of the bitch as soon as it's paid off and get a shiny new used convertible, but I think we should probably hold off on that. :( If we ever want to buy a house, we've got to save some money somehow.
Ah, Rascal Flatts is on the radio. I need to get their CDs. Did you know that Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts graduated from my high school? Yeah, I didn't know that until a year or two ago, so don't feel bad if you didn't know. :)
OK, off to surf the Web.

Three products I love right now:
1. Oil of Olay's body wash with shea butter for severely dry skin. I always have such dry skin in the winter that every day after I shower I make Dave put lotion on my back, otherwise I'd be itchy all day and my skin would hurt where my bra hit. Then I got a coupon at Meijer for this body wash, so I decided to try it. Since I started using it, I haven't needed the lotion. Woo-hoo! And it smells nice, which is a bonus.
2. Pantene shampoo. I noticed my hair was, I guess you could say kind of gummy, and it was grossing me out. It was like I couldn't get the shampoo washed out, and it was hard to brush, and I could hardly even run my fingers through my hair when it was dry. I switched to Pantene, and I have my nice silky hair back. Woo-hoo!
3. Orville Redenbacher's Cinnabon popcorn. That's right, I said Cinnabon, just like you see at the mall. It's cinnamon popcorn, and then you drizzle the icing all over the popped corn. Mmmmmmmmmmm
And no, sadly, I'm not being paid to say these things. Although I wouldn't object to it.

Hey Blogger, I'm getting really fucking tired of losing a post every time I try to post! I guess I need to start copying everything before I try and post it so I can go back and paste it in when it refuses to post.
To briefly go over what I TRIED to say a few minutes ago, either I'm retarded or Ohio's government Web site sucks, because I can't find information about online business rules or vendor's licenses.
The cover of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been released. It doesn't seem to be as detailed as previous covers, but what the hell do I know.
Here we go...Oh, as soon as I copy this post.

Add Ohio to list of things that piss me off - oh wait, it's already on that list. We'll just bump it up to the top! Why is it that I can't find any information about the state's rules for online businesses on the state's Web site? I know there are online businesses based in Ohio, and I'm sure you have to have some kind of vendor's license, but I can't find a damned thing about it. Maybe I'm just too sleepy, I dunno. I just don't want to have to call down to Columbus and get put on hold for who knows how long. Bleh.
But on a cheery note, in case you haven't heard, the cover for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been released. Doesn't seem very detailed, pretty much just Dumbledore and Harry seemingly staring into a smoking pillar. As always, I'm sure it will make sense once the book has been read, which will be by the end of July 17, the day it comes out! Just over four months! Woo-hoo!
OK, I'm off to try and research online business some more.

Man oh man, do I ever hate that bitch. I was hoping she'd ... hmmm methinks I shouldn't say what I was hoping. But here's an example of why I hate her:
NEW YORK (AP) — Fighting back tears at times, Martha Stewart told cheering employees on her first day back at work Monday that prison was a life-changing experience that made her realize her company may have been out of touch with ordinary Americans. YA THINK?
Dressed in a chocolate-brown suit and pumps, Stewart addressed her employees from a stage where a simple bouquet of yellow daffodils sat in a glass vase atop a stool. Behind her were giant posters of her magazine’s April cover with a photo of daffodils and a headline appropriate for the day: "Just in time for Spring."
"I love all of you from the bottom of my heart — I’m really glad to be home," she said, choking up at the end of her speech. Afterward, she stepped off stage and embraced co-workers one by one. AW, ISN'T SHE WONDERFUL?
Stewart, 63, told the employees that she "learned a great deal about our country" in meeting a cross-section of Americans at the federal women’s prison at Alderson, W.Va. She said that her experience would lead to changes at her homemaking empire that would make it more accessible to ordinary people.
"We’re going to engage and inspire new readers and new viewers for whom these topics may have seemed alien, unfamiliar or even — believe it or not — superficial," she said. SUPERFICIAL? NO, NEVER! AND SURELY NOT UNATTAINABLE FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE JOBS OTHER THAN SITTING AROUND ALL DAY THINKING OF DOILY DESIGNS!
The company was perhaps too focused on the technical aspects of entertaining and cooking, she said, and not enough on why people need to nurture and take care of each other.
"Starting now, we must communicate not only the how-to that we’ve been so proud of, but also the why," she told the group gathered at the Manhattan offices of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, overlooking the Hudson River.
She also held up the gray and white poncho she wore when she left prison Friday. She said it did not come from a fancy store, but was crocheted by a fellow inmate, with yarn from the commissary.
"The night before I left, she handed me this ... and said, ‘Wear it in good health,’" Stewart said. "I hope she is reading the news and looking at television because I’m so proud of her."
The company’s new chief executive and president, Susan Lyne, introduced Stewart to a standing ovation as "your teacher, my inspiration, our founder." I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE, I'M GOING TO VOMIT
Yeah, there was more to the article, but I just couldn't stand it. I hate her and her stupid man hands.
On a lighter note, and seemingly contrary to the above rant, I spent much of the weekend making curtains for the living room and spare room, and for the window at the bottom of the stairs. But you know what? They're not fancy-schmancy curtains with swags and lace and all that crapola. They're rectangles of material hemmed around the edges to keep the light and neighbors out. And I'm proud of them, even if they are plain and simple. Wanna see 'em? OK, go here.
Next up, the bedroom and office curtains! And then the world! OK, maybe not.
Oh, one more thing: "Monty Python's Spamalot" on Broadway. That's all I have to say.
