Weigh-In Wednesday #14

Been a bad week. Caught two seperate viruses in the last two weeks. Not much gym action here. Weight still being maintained though. I am currently at 208.6 lbs.

I went to the doctor's office yesterday to check out my sore throat. Have you ever been tested for strep? It is not pleasant. They take a mile long Q-Tip and swab the very back of your throat. I just about threw up. It kind of caught me off guard  and I apologized for gagging. The nurse replied, "Don't worry, if you didn't gag, we didn't do it right." 

After the doctor appointment, my daughter and I headed back to the car. While we were in the elevator with a stranger, Bella announced, "I tooted." A to the W-E-S-O-M-E.  

PS
Finally listened to the entire Justin Bieber CD. Love most of the songs. Definitely a CD I would recommend purchasing. Or illegaly downloading, however you roll.

There is a lady sitting in my lobby clipping her nails right now. Not sure what she is doing with her nail clippings. Gross! Get a nail file, lady!

Creepy. Like, Old Lady Creepy

Ok, I have reached a whole nother level of inappropriateness. If you don't know, my first venture into Creepy Old Lady mode is when I realized that I have a crush on this boy young man:

But how could I not?! He is just so darn cute. And those baby blues! Don't get me started. Vanessa Hudgens is a lucky girl - have I mentioned that she is half Filipino? I already have a foot in the door - stop it! Bad, Nearly-Thirty-Year-Old! Bad! Bad! 

Like I said, I know that my crush is inappropriate because I really am too old to have a crush on Zac Efron. But my love for Zac is nothing compared to what I have recently done. A picture says a thousand words right? Ok, here you go, my iPod touch and my newest musical purchase:

I was at a store recently and I picked up Justin Bieber's CD. I like his songs "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl", but not enough to have bought those songs. Recently, I heard his song with Ludacris, "Baby", which is why I contemplated buying Justin's newest CD. Well, I put the CD back and decided to check it out on iTunes instead. I have a rule that if I like at least five songs, then I just buy the entire album rather than buying each song individually. There were a few songs that I checked out and liked, but then I listened to a bonus track, the one song on the album that you can't buy individually - either buy the album or go without the song. It was called "Kiss and Tell". I proceeded to click on the "Buy Album" option. This song is pop music at its best! It is upbeat and catchy with really cute lyrics. This song is pretty much on repeat on my iPod. The last time I got stuck on a song like this was "Confessions II" on Usher's Confessions album. (yes, I threw that Usher reference in there to try and make myself seem my age. Oh, and a little cooler. Hopefully...)I will let you know how the rest of the CD is when I get past "Kiss and Tell".

Is there a support group for people with Teeny Bopper Syndrome?

Firefly

I haven’t been listening to the radio much lately. I know it’s been out for a while, but I just got a copy of Lady Gaga’s CD, The Fame, and I effing love it! I have been playing it non-stop for the last few weeks. I mean with lyrics like “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” how could I not have the entire CD on repeat?

So, basically I have been out of the new song loop for quite a while. Yesterday, I decided to add another challenge to my weight loss goals and forced my family to take a 30 minute drive at 8 pm to go get some Krispy Kremes. On the way home, a very catchy, upbeat, electronica sounding song was playing. My brother was talking about how it is the dumbest song he has ever heard and he thought that it was a joke when he first heard it, but no, it is an actual song getting play on the radio.

It was “Firefly” by Owl City.

After listening to the song, I have to admit that the lyrics are kind of out there, but it is still catchy enough that I liked it (yes, I do have questionable taste in music). My favorite line from the song is “'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs/From ten thousand lightning bugs." I mean it is all in the delivery of the cheesy lyrics; for example, if the lyrics were, “I just got swarmed by a whole shit load of bugs” then it might not have been as appealing. And guess what - it was the number one selling single on iTunes. That’s right, I bought it. My brother was super excited.

Ok, it is time to peace out because I am freezing my ass off at the park while my daughter is climbing up the slide.
