Most people who know me KNOW I hate shopping at Wal-Mart. But one of my Christmas gifts (from my sister-in-law's parents) was a Wal-Mart gift card. They are totally forgiven, it's got penguins in a snowglobe on the front! Anywho, I just used it to buy Prince Caspian (which Mom forgot, but she is ALSO forgiven as we're going tomorrow to get my Lifestyle Gym membership) and a Dance Off the Inches: Bellydance DVD. I had a really great bellydancing VHS, but since I don't have one hooked up anymore, the DVD was necessary. And since Mom got me a MoRockin CD at EPCOT (I love those guys!), learning the skill would be helpful. But the best part is, both qualified for Site-to-Store, which is Wal-Mart's most ingenious thing ever. Shopping at Wal-Mart with none of the store!rage and none of the shipping prices.
Which reminds me, I got all angstypants after EPCOT and never posted. I honest-to-goodness got hit on TWICE. Color me stunned! But the guy in Morocco was just amazing, fawning all over me and pulling out my chair at lunch and man... He was pretty cute, too! I've figured out why the Moroccan men go for me; I'm usually with my mom. Moroccan culture typically looks up to the elders and therefore, look for women who will take care of the elders. Pushing my mom in a wheelchair is NOT supposed to be a babe magnet, but I'll take it! I also flirted with the guy at the toy shop in England (...yum, we were talking books, is there anything hotter?) and the girl who put us on the Soarin' ride was pretty smexy too. And, er, right, we went to see Abigail Breslin. So uh, as I was saying, Abigail was adorable though the sound guy should be shot in the foot. Her audio kept drifting in and out, it was awful. :(
Doctor's appointment today: DOWN ANOTHER 3 POUNDS!!! I'm stunned. I kinda gaped at her. I FEEL heavier, I've slacked on the exercise AND the eating well and the water drinking the last several days so I am more than a little surprised. But pleased! Especially since now I'm more determined than ever to get back to normal.
Christmas was good. Really good. No fighting (except finally confessing to my cousin that I think Smeyer is full of glorified fanfic-writing crap) and Mykayla and I hung out a lot. She actually came out and told me she thinks it's funny how she and I are more alike than she and either of her parents are, which is definitely true. She RPs, she reads like a mad woman, she makes soundtracks for her characters, she writes fanfic and some original fiction...and she's eleven. And no, before anyone assumes, I didn't get her into ANY of this. I discovered she did each on her own but we just click from there. Camden and I played a lot, too. Deal or No Deal AND his new VTech v.Smile Lion King game. It was awesome, overall. My chipped beef dip went over REALLY well, everyone loved it and Kim even kept the leftovers. And, despite all but falling apart on me, my jell-o cake went over really well, too.
...oh, and I just joined Columbia House. It was only 10 bucks to sign up and that was buy one DVD set, get one free. I got the Complete Jane Austen collection, which is all the BBC movies of Jane Austen (Carey, Felicity, Dan, Billie, OH MY!) AND the first season of seaQuest, DSV (Jon, may you RIP). Now I just need to buy 4 at regular club price in 2 years. Even poor I can manage that!
I've been writing this forever and replying to people and watching TV in the process. Time to walk the dogs, possibly nap, and get up and Cardio Salsa if I can manage it. Yep. Then I'll be back!
