Okay so I basically lied. Sue me...
I said I was going to post later on the night I'd posted about my knives, but I didn't.
Yeah, I'm a bad person.
So here's the scoop. Life in general has been up and down, but I guess that's normal. Jen and I are working on getting her studio set up and getting the downstairs portion of the house cleaned (again). I got the upstairs bedroom cleaned but it needs to be steam vacuumed still, and the hallway still needs work. Computer room here is pretty messy too, but that's an easy fix. Jen's been getting lots of candle stuff the past few days. All kinds of this's and that's, scents, containers, what have you. I've just been doing the general day to day.
I'm starting work back at Rossi's again. I was going to start doing delivery for Pizza Hut, but just the other night my brother told me how dire things at Rossi's were, and I decided to pay Tami a visit. I'm going to be the morning/opening manager there. I won't make as much money at Rossi's as I could at Pizza Hut, but the other benefits make up for it. Being able to say I have managerial experience will look good on applications.
Went to the last weekend of the Felicita Park Ren Faire. Saw Julia and Laken and Sam, as well as Summer, her ex Jason, and Jessie, someone we met at Barnes & Noble. I went by myself on Saturday, and Jen came with me on Sunday. It was pretty fun. I spent some time over at Amtgard the last hour or so of the Sunday trip, talking to Sam and Julia and Mark. Dueled Mark a bit. Ended with a tie, 3 "kills" each, and a draw. Wanted to meet up with Susan and Katie, but it didn't happen, as they were gone from faire before I got there both days. I'm a bit miffed personally, i really wanted to see both of them, as I haven't seen them in a bit, esp. Susan, seeing as she's been out in Arizona and all. Oh well I guess. I can only presume meeting up with me wasn't as important to them as it was to me.
Saw a nice fully functional forged sword at one of the booths there that I really wanted, but we couldn't/can't afford. We've got their card though, and hopefully we can get our finances into shape with a month or sooner while they still have a few of them left. It was a very plain but nice sword. Everything I could want (considering what I know of swords). No flash and pomp, just a simple, elegant blade.
In other news, today starts day 1 of the diet Jen and I are finally beginning (I say finally because this is the hojillionth time we've said we were going to diet, however we actually started it this time). So far so good. My weight today after having woke up and taken a shower is 323.8 lbs. Yeah, I'm a fatty. Took various body measurements and such. My goal weight at the moment is 220. Jen says if I can maintain a loss of 3 lbs. a week I'll weigh 221 by Xmas. I'm actually kinda stoked that I could lose that much weight so fast. I hope I lose more. I hate that tying my shoes is difficult, that I can't sleep for shit, and that I'm so out of shape in general. I always told myself that if I ever got to 300 lbs. I'd do something about my weight for sure. I've failed to keep that promise until now. If I can't be honest with myself and keep promises to myself, then what kind of person can I really be?
Time to go to work.
