Weight Watchers Weigh In Delayed

Last week I missed my weigh in because I was at my step son’s robotics competition. Today I am missing it because of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cookies, and pretzels.

I fell of the wagon hard yesterday, but I am completely back on board today. My mission is to weigh in next Saturday and be at least level with my last weigh in.

I need to lose the equivalent of a normal sized adult human being in order to reach a healthy weight for some one my height. Progress will be made toward that goal today, my friends! Onward to the healthy goal!

Lots of Deer

I’ve been seeing deer nearly every day over the last couple of weeks. In the past it’s often been a case of seeing one means there are five or six more out there and if I look hard enough I find them. So far this year though there have never been more than two, and it’s most often just one. I wonder if something happened to the rest. I hope they are all right.

Star Wars Trailer

Finally something we can see!

The first trailer for the new Star Wars movie is out!!

I can’t believe we have to wait a whole freakin’ year for this movie.

I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT I CAN’T WAIT

Thanksgiving Two – Electric (Turkey) Boogaloo

The kids were at their dad’s yesterday so we visited with Jen’s mom and step father. Today the kids are with us, so we’re having a second Thanksgiving dinner. I have dubbed today Thanksgiving Two – Electric (Turkey) Boogaloo.

Jen, my beloved wife, is in the kitchen chopping onions to add to the stuffing. Chopping onions is a bad experience in the best of situations, but the onion she’s working with today is giving her eyes a really rough time. Stupid onion. Poor Jen.

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to wish a happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the United States. We broke with tradition this year. The kids were with their father today so my wife and I went to a restaurant with her mother and step father. We went to a place called The Breakers, which is part of a hotel called Ashworth by the Sea (is that the right name?) in Hampton Beach, NH. The turkey dinner was excellent, the stuffing was excellent, the company was excellent, and the waves crashing into the beach across the street were the biggest and meanest I’ve ever seen on the East Coast. They looked down right Californian.

Tomorrow we will have the kids so we will have Thanksgiving Part II – Electric Turkey Boogaloo, which consists of another turkey dinner. Yum, babie. Yum.

One Last Morning Commute Post

On Monday I drove to Canton and it took more than two hours.  On Tuesday I drove to Westwood and it took a smidge under two hours.  On Wednesday I drove to Westwood and it took 90 minutes on the nose.  On Thursday I worked from home and breathed a massive sigh of relief.  Today I am in Foxoborough* and it took an hour and 10 minutes.

>sigh<

Why oh why can’t our Boston area traffic just be a little bit predictable?  Why??

*When did the spelling stop being Foxboro and start being Foxborough?  I passed a sign on route 95 this morning that said, “Entering Foxboro” but if you Google Foxboro it sends you to Foxborough.  Also, all of our company documentation on this building (it’s brand new and quite swanky) says Foxborough.  What is wrong with this world?  What is happening?  I mean, I knew things were going to start falling apart after the cancelled Dead Like Me without giving us a third season.  I saw this coming miles away.

What a Let Down

Wow, was that ever disappointing.  My morning commute only took an hour and a half, falling well short of the two hour average for the week so far.  90 measly minutes to go 46 miles.  Talk about a let down.  Well, maybe Friday’s commute will be two and a half hours and bring my average back up to two hours where it belongs.

This post contains 100% unfiltered, twice distilled sarcasm.  If Friday’s commute tops two hours I might go postal.

Anticipation

My average morning commute this week is just over two hours. I am so excited to get out on the road today and see how much of my day will get pissed down the toilet while I cruise along at less than five miles per hour in the 65 miles per hour speed zone. I feel like I could break some sort of Land Slow Record or something. It’s going to be so great! I can’t wait!
