Doors in the Men

Yay for Pumkin ice cream! I didn 't occur to me that Edy's would have a season ice cream for Thanskgiving...but hello, I read all about it on Sarah's blog Living to Feel Good. No less than 10 minutes after reading about it, Chris and I were in the car on the way to the store to search for some. We found 1 container left, encased in ice and it's been downhill ever since...but downhill in the most tasty way.

I also saw another World of Warcraft reference on TV today. I was (regrettably) listening to America's Most Smartest Model while I was using my sewing machine (Listen...I need brainless background noise when I use the machine). On it they set up teams of 2 models to do fake sunscreen ads...then at the last minute, they threw each team one "nerd" who has done nothing but "play World of Warcraft for the last 4 (?) months". They were pasty beings. I'm not sure how I feel about being a "nerd"...I prefer "gamer geek".

I can't wait until Sunday when I can reveal what I've been working on. It's for a friend of mine, and I'll be giving it to her on Sunday. I will be sure to take picture of the mystery item. I can't wait! Actually, I can't wait to finish it so I can make some evil sock monkeys for fun...and possible profit. I'm considering putting some on Etsy. I'll have to see how that works out, but that's to be discussed on another day.

On an exercise note: Today was back and biceps at the gym, and tomorrow will be a nice run...I have to do that after my reading team members and I interview another candidate. Should be interesting.

World of Warcraft is taking over!

I can not believe that I just saw a World of Warcraft reference on How I Met Your Mother. How awesome is that? Makes me want to "suit up"...in plate for level 46 of course. Earlier this month it was reference on The Big Bang Theory. And who could forget South Park's "Make Love Not Warcraft" episode? Not me!

Time for some calm

I finally typed out my grad class calendar. I am quite happy. I still have to add some things and perhaps rearrange some assignments, but the skeleton is there and that is what matters the most. Phew. As a reward I allowed myself some World of Warcraft...WOOT!

I'm still on track with Core, and I'm tracking everything so I can be a good role model for my Weight Watchers meeting, but it's getting super tough. This is where things start to fall apart for me....I start to get frustrated because I'm weighing a little heavy (it's all fiber, baby) and the eating disorder in my head starts to say "screw it, eat something tasty", while the side with WW wings, say "No, it's only fiber and water... you'll weigh even less once this passes". Usually the horned eating disorder wins out. Oh, did I ever mention that I treat my WW meetings as if they were an eating disorder support group. I don't think I have bulimia or anorexia, or even body dismorphia. I just know that changing eating habits couldn't be this difficult for people without some form of an eating disorder. It could be a stress related eating disorder. Who knows?

Well, this post flew off into a tangent, didn't it? Weird. See ya'll later. I'm going to go gaze at the snow! It's finally snowing, there isn't going to be a lot, but there is finally glorious snow here in my part of NY!

Gotta make it quick

I am beat and I feel like I've been working non-stop today. Including reading things while I'm eating. All that said, I'm going to make this quick....

Update:

• My core week is going well. I've logged everything in the community tracker and it's looking good so far.
• This is TMI (in other words: Don't read any further if you're sensitive), but I've become fascinated by how my poo has changed since I stopped fudging core so much.
• I'm drowning in work. I can't even let myself play Warcraft, and I got the expansion pack in the mail yesterday...I'm dying to play it but I feel I haven't "earned" it yet. Damn sense of responsibility...
• The library is still closed because the movers are still dealing with the hundreds of thousands of materials we have. I'm happy because I get paid for not working and I have time to get other stuff done...like grad class calendars.
• The grad course I'm teaching starts on Monday and I still haven't finished typing my calendar. I keep making changes to it. It's making me nutso!

Okay, I think it might be time for me to get off my rear and slide into bed to watch TV through my eyelids. Sweet dreams everyone!
