how far would you go?

i'm not one to admit that i like to read a few non-weightloss related blogs, but i do, and they're good for boring afternoons, rainy sundays, or when you are curious to see what's happening in hollywood... i came across this yesterday and then found the accompanying photo today... if you are familiar with heidi montag (who isn't?!?!), she unveiled her new & improved body to people magazine and admitted to having not 1, not 2, but 10 plastic surgeries last year (at the same time)... the photo speaks a thousand words, but the article is just as interesting... i'm rather speechless and dumbfounded, and wonder how much i would have to get paid before doing something so stupid... :-p

i am THRILLED that this will be a long-weekend for me - it has been busier than hell here and i'm exhausted after all these early morning doctor appointments... HR called me yesterday and said that i still have 6 unused vacation days from last year (we have a use/lose policy) and i had until march 31 to use them... i joking said that i wouldn't be able to take my honeymoon until after our annual meeting, and they said they'd reconsider and get back to me... my boss basically told me to use them, so i need to think about what i could do, or where i can go... it will suck if i have to have foot surgery (twice) because i would use sick-time and not vacation-time... ugh...

eric and i are going to the washington area RV show tomorrow - he thought it would be fun to go check-out what's new and exciting in the camping world (not that we have any plans to buy something)... and that's about all the plans we have, so far, and that's fine by me! :-)

food/tracking has been good... exercise - not great, but i'll get to the gym today... :-)

hope you all have a great weekend - happy friday...

why can't it be thursday?

happy hump day!

i'm so glad i only have 1 more day and then it's vacation time til after christmas... i still won't have used-up all my time, but the majority of it will be taken at least (i think)... so far the only plans i have made are: 2 doctors appointments, getting a new driver's license, opening a joint-checking account, and lunch with some old coworkers... i also plan on getting my christmas cards done, baking some cookies, finishing my shopping, and getting some R&R sans being sick... am feeling much better, thankfully, and hope to stay cold-free for the rest of the winter! :-)

i found two more really cute blogs today:

• twig and thistle 
• bakerella
• free shipping day
  

yesterday was our company holiday party - it was in-house this year when in the past, we generally go to a local hotel... to save money, they had decorated outside one our large conference rooms and had tables upon tables of sweet things like cookies, brownies, cheesecake, pudding, etc... there was only ONE bowl of fruit and a few pieces of cheese with some crackers... seriously?! that's all your giving us?! makes me so mad that they chose unhealthy over healthy when it comes to things like this... after the party, we went to grab a drink around the corner then went to another bar to celebrate someone's bday... it was fun but then it got late and i had to get home (which is a nightmare w/metro after 9:00)... my design-coworker found out that someone stole a bunch of cash from her wallet at the bar - we had thrown all our crap down on some couches and never went back until it was time to leave... so stupid! i had a bunch of cash and a blank check in mine, but luckily - nothing was taken... lesson learned! :-p

i went to the gym on monday, but not yesterday and plan on going today as well... it's been incredibly hard to get back into the swing of things esp. after the wedding, thanksgiving, and being sick... i have lost all my mojo - must be that time of year! ;-)

on a good note: the photographer has been sending me batches of wedding photos and i have to say, i think i look pretty good... yea, i hate the way my arms look but considering i didn't lose any weight beforehand, they came out really well... as soon as i go thru them all, i'll share some on here... :-)

happy wednesday...
