My weight loss efforts slowed a bit over the holidays, but I'm happy to report that I'm still down 3.5 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years! Huzzah!
I had the Wii fit balance board already, and I got the new EA Active game for Solstice. It's definitely more of an asswhip than the original wiiFit game, but the trainer voiceover is constantly stroking your ego about how good you're doing whenever you don't actually do something off the mark enough to make her tell you to straighten up and fly right. Oh yeah! You are running this track like you OWN it! I dig it.
I do not dig the industry trade show I have to attend in Ohio next week. It's even colder there than here! Not just well-digger's butt cold, but witch's tit in a brass bra cold! And no one will be covering any of my stuff when I'm gone for 3 days, and I'll come back with a MASSIVE amount of data entry in orders (uh, hopefully). We're renting a snake from a local dealer to be in our booth as a novelty (it's related to our brand name), so that should be weird, and interesting. Another upside is I'll get to see the people I work with only be phone in another state, one of whom is a real friend, and we'll be bunking together in the fancy ass convention center hotel. Pros and cons, baby.
It's my husband's birthday this monday, so I'm expecting a relaxing weekend of copious sex and a nice restaurant dinner.
I have tried some over the last year to get into facebook, because all my friends and family are on there, but I find I don't like it all that much, because all my friends and family are on there. And most of them are just posting weird little gathering and collecting games or quizzes, or "I'm on the patio" posts instead of really TALKING about anything. Just like #$@^@ MySpace. And fucking everyone is on there - people from work, people from church, my PARENTS. I don't feel like I can be open there. It makes me miss the time when I was active on message boards, with a semi cohesive group of people who kept up a continuing conversation. I often felt like I "knew" those people more than people I work or attend church with. But I gradually fell out of those groups when I lost the large blocks of internet time I once had, and it felt like my sporadic visitation was too casual to keep in the conversation.
And then I remembered livejournal, and wandered back over here.
