I know Tom’s memory isn’t as great as it used to be and that we’re just friends, but shame on him for forgetting to wish me a happy 13th anniversary before leaving for work.

At least there’s some good news. Yesterday was one of those days that really helps make up for those shittier days!

Tom won us a mini-refrigerator by entering codes found under his soda caps. It was a sweep Mountain Dew is doing, so the refrigerator is green and has their logo on it. What’s cool is that it has a digital thermostat and a see-through door. It’s a cute little thing. It’s also a warmer as well as a refrigerator and can be plugged into a car lighter so you can travel with it.

I also won a $1 certificate for KFC. Definitely a place I’ll want to go when the truck’s up and running.

Lastly, I got my tea and already I’m surprised and impressed. It’s just rather ironic that I awoke yesterday at 142 pounds, and today at 137. I never lose 5 pounds in a day! I find it hard to believe it’s all water, and especially at a time of month when I shouldn’t have 5 pounds of water to lose in the first place, and when I do have water to lose I never lose more than 3 pounds of it. The more weight you have to lose, the faster you can lose it in the beginning, so I may start off dropping easily enough to the 120s, then hit a plateau. This is where the Claritin will come in to help along with the tea. The only negatives I can see so far are that it’s got caffeine and will make you hungrier as weight loss often does. I’ll try to make sure I drink it before I go to eat and that I don’t have my second cup right before bed or else I’ll be jumping up to pee for the next couple of hours!

Later…

Tom just emailed me saying he’s sorry I expected something when I got up, and that he’d planned to see if I wanted pizza when he got home. I replied letting him know that I actually didn’t expect anything other than his writing something on the memo board or a digital gift card, so the pizza comes as a nice surprise. He also wants to get me an MP3 player so that I can have a portable music station but wants me to be there to pick it out. That’d be great! We’re gonna do this when the truck’s alive.

The 25th can’t come fast enough! Netwinner is having a 12-hour Magic Multiplier Marathon to celebrate their 1st anniversary. Every spin will be a 2, 5, 10 or 25 X! I just may end up being able to get $200 worth of Walmart cards when we get down there and get my desk and dresser in one shot. Then I can work for a Victoria’s Secret card which will give me time to see where my weight’s going. I still don’t think I’ll lose very much. I’m still in my 40s. Anyway, I’m currently at 95,510 points, so I’ll have at least $100 available to me, plus a head start on my next card, even without the anniversary party. I don’t know what my schedule will be that day, but believe me, I’ll make myself be available, although Tom’s agreed to take over when he gets home from work if I’m too tired.

Later…

Just hit 5,000 for the 6th time and am now at 100,940 points! It took me just over 15,000 plays to do it. It’s hard to believe that 40 days ago I was at 40,000 points!
