I’m now down to my Marine Corps weight.  Granted this is the highest I weighed while in (my lowest being 117) but it’s still a great feeling to be here again!

*holding in an explosion of expletives* I wore out my DDR pad!!! RRRRGH!

I thought that maybe I should buy a new one, but after doing a ton of research, I think I’ll just get the cheapy pad that comes with the game and do this to it. Looks to be a fun project if I can squeeze blood out of a rock make some time in my busy day to put toward personal use.

I’m also concerned with starting something like this right now when we’re going to be moving soon. Yeah, it’s just one thing, but it’s still one more thing I’ve got to carry out of my apartment, transport across town, and lug into the new house. I may as well hold off and put it all together when I have a real life garage to work in, and not so far to carry it, right?

But holding off also means a couple months without my current exercise routine.

*wembles*

Speaking of no time for personal use, I’ve learned another Mommy Lesson.  If I want a shower every morning, then I have to take the little girl in there with me.  Sure I’m giving up one more thing that I used to do privately (going to the bathroom is another one) but at least this way Shake gets bathed too.

Today’s creation: Chocobo.

It has been a long time since I’ve played Final Fantasy. (picture taken in 2001)

I went looking for a new coat the other day online, because what with the way gas prices are, and having to lug the contrary and unobliging Shake everywhere*, I haven’t the patience to hop into the truck and cruise the city in search of the things I need let alone want.

After about half an hour of m’eh after m’eh, I found the perfect coat on Overstock.com. This one. But after I got my hopes all up — got excited and squishy over what I now considered MY coat — I noted the “sold out” marker in bright red letters where the button that would allow me to buy MY coat should have been. O NOEZ!!

I had to have the goddamn coat. Just had to. I would shrivel up and DIE if I didn’t get it. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but somewhere deep inside me there was a tiny girl who had just crumpled into a ball and was screaming, “MINE MINE MINE!!” as she punctuated each cry with the smack of a chubby little fist on the floor.

My inner child is ornery, to say the least.

After a long and seemingly fruitless search all over the interwebs, I managed to find ONE of these coats on eBay. Only it’s not navy with red trim, but black on black. And it’s a large. I’m not a large, but by gosh, I’ll get the thing tailored if it’ll make my inner crybaby shut up.

And if any one of you manages to find this coat and outbids me, I will personally hunt you down and spork you to death.

* She’s really a very well behaved and happy baby until I test her with hours of In-and-Out of the Truck games.

A few posts back, I mentioned a Marine buddy of mine from back in the day and how he introduced me to Spore. Well! Look who’s got a blog now!

Everyone’s assignment is to go over there and spam his leave friendly comments, tout de suite. The tooter the sweeter.

New and improved.  Now with FLASH!

Look at me bastioning:

• The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.
• It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.
• One human hair can support 3 kg (6 lb).
• The average man’s penis is twice the length of his thumb.
• Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.
• A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s.
• There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
• Women blink twice as often as men.
• The average person’s skin weighs twice as much as the brain.
• Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.
• If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.
• Men that read this are probably still busy checking their thumbs.

I wanted a tequila sunrise, but I don’t have any grenadine.

So I used what I had in the refrigerator and what I had in the refrigerator was a pitcher of black cherry kool-aid.

I think I like it better this way.

*bored*

All right, all right. Mr. H isn’t home and the kiddo is in bed sleeping.

I’m staring at my computer monitor as if something scintillating will spontaneously pop onto the screen keeping me entertained for the rest of the evening. Times like these make for monotonous, dreary, and fairly random blog posts.

I think I’ll go take my drink to the bedroom. I just bought Pillars of the Earth. Perhaps that will prove sufficiently diverting for the time being.

*plods off*

Anyone else playing this? I was turned on to the game by my friend — I’ll call him Iceman because that’s who he looks like — anyway, I was turned on to the game by my friend, Iceman, but I’ve only just purchased the starter pack today.

He’s doing the “I’m cute” pose.

(Update!) SQUEEEEEE! I made a dragon. I gave it a baby and it was so freaking happy I swear it could have e-shit itself. I then made them laugh and just about died from the cuteness.

Ouch.
