I was actually expecting the answers to be a lot of bullshit porn site links. Some of these really hit the mark for myself. The ones I most relate to... 1 (freakin' yeah), 3 (even though I've still got quite a bit of mileage left before the "golden years" hit, I would love to find a home and be cherished), and 10 (dead on... creepy). My favorite, though, is 4 -- I don't know what a "monkeysicle" is exactly or what tests you would perform on him, but it sounds kinky. These are not the straight 1-10 results and a few were duplicates, but it is the order of appearance.

I need to get some shit out (a lot has happened and will be happening). Right now, though, I just felt like putting something kinda cute out.

*sigh* It is 5 days until my birthday (31 - ack!, 22 days until X-mas. I am completely broke (like in the negatives), and I cannot buy anything for anyone. Fuck, I can't even buy cards or possibly even the $10 gift for the present exchange at work. I CAN'T EVEN BUY COOKIE MAKING SUPPLIES! *sobs*

I like the holidays. I really do! I like decorating and seeing houses done up. I like the chill in the air, even though Florida doesn't get cold enough or even cool enough for longer than a few days here and there. I just wish I wasn't so down in the dumps.

It's not even the fact that I won't be getting any prezzies (though I like them much). In fact I think I will be getting stuff from some people. What sucks is that I can't give anything in return, and I feel like shit for it even though they'll say it doesn't matter.

I wanna cuddle.

So this week (well the last 3 days) I have been actively tracking what I have been eating thanks to www.fitday.com .  This site has become my new addiction as I am seriously trying to lose weight now... as opposed to every time in the past I said I would lose weight and never actually did anything about it.  I really hope this time is different.  Last month I started going to a new doc for my primary care, just for a check-up/physical since it had been a why.  The office has a new scale that with your age, height, and weight can tell you the amount of calories you need to maintain your weight.  My calorie intake should be about 1500 to maintain my weight.  I am currently around 50lbs overweight give or take.  I should only be intaking about 1000-1200 calories.  Since I am finally in the weight loss mindset I searched for a free online food journal until I found FitDay.  The first day I tracked I was uber-meticulous and found that I at just over 2200 calories.  That is almost double what I should have.  Over the last two days I've reduced to an average of 1950.  Still not great, but I know I will not be able to immediately cut calories.  I plan to slowly reduce over the course of the week until I'm at about 1500.  Then I will be on vacation and totally blow the work out of the water. *sigh*

On Monday I have an interview with a personal trainer.  The place I going to only have room for 40 clients, so it's not guaranteed  Plus they are expensive $480/month for 12 sessions.  I only have enough for one month at the moment, but I'm seriously considering selling some of my stock options to pay for a second month.  I just need someone to really point me in the right direction.  One I know how to workout properly I can guide myself (I hope).  We'll see how it goes ::crosses fingers::

Although I am not the only HP reader at work, I seem to be the only one who has finished the final book. 
Anyway.... I'm ready for the day to be over now.  I think tongiht I will start re-reading the series.  Or dl the audio.

Okay... I just finished the book after finally getting it in my hands at 12:10am July 21.  I did not read it straight through as I was tired and had to stop and do grocery shopping and make the meals.  But at 2:23pm EST the journey finally came to an end.  Without giving away any spoilers I must say it was the best book of the series.  Never a dull moment.  I cheered, I cried, I had disappointments, misgivings, and satisfaction.  I am, however, glad it's over save the movies.  I hope there are no more books to the series, not sure if I could take it... even though I did have a few questions.  But anything further would be unnecessary and could kill the magic.
