Again?

Last night was bad enough, but tonight too? Two Bruins games in two nights, both starting at 8:00 instead of 7:00?

It’s starting to look like the Bruins will never win another game. The best we can hope for is shootout losses. Sure could use a forward like Jarome Iginla now, eh? Sure could use a defenseman like Johnny Boychuck now, eh?

At least Krejci might come back tonight. If not tonight then probably the next game.

Fail

The concept of christmas shopping online is not new. It’s something that millions of Americans have done for a few years now.

Why then would a company ship an item during the holiday season in a box that has both the name of the item and a graphical depiction of the item printed on it? Don’t they know that people buy christmas gifts for other people who live in the same house and that sometimes the receiver of the gift gets home from work before the giver of the gift?

Thanks, you grinchly schmucks.

Going to be a Tough Day

It’s going to be a rough one today, weight watchers wise.

For the first time since we jumped onto the wagon back on Labor Day weekend, I failed to go grocery shopping this weekend.  That means I had nothing to make a brown bag lunch for today.  Since I didn’t have a bag, I also failed to bring my usual tiny breakfast.  Not good.

That means breakfast became a convenience store breakfast, which means donuts.  Very bad.  Later on today lunch will be cafeteria lunch, which isn’t as bad as donuts, but it’s not even close to as good as a small sandwich on a deli thin.  Worse, we ate out last night at a Japanese restaurant and I had hibachi chicken, steak, and friend rice.  Even worser worse, on Saturday night we ate out at what might be the best steak house I’ve ever been too.  I had the single best steak dinner of my life.  Ever.  Bar none.  Not question.  I also ended up cleaning off my wife’s plate… and my step son’s… and my step daughter’s.  Remember me being happy about losing 4.6 pounds last week?  I probably put it all back at dinner on Saturday.  It was soooo good.

This just means I have to go grocery shopping tonight after work, and that I have to be extra good for the rest of the week.  I can do it.  I just want to manage things until after the new year, and then it’s back to an almost militarily disciplined diet again.  I can do it.

Lights

The living room has been decorated up the ying yang for Christmas, and after about an hour or so worth of work by me and my step daughter, we now have Christmas lights outside too.

Tis the season!

Of course I am still severely lacking in holiday spirit.
