No evil snow yet, thank God! It sure was chilly, though, when we went to Starbucks this afternoon. I needed a light jacket. Starbucks is so overpriced, though they had a lot of good stuff. We had to pay almost a buck for what I got since it went over the $10, but we’re not that broke. I ended up getting peppermint mocha twist coffee, and chocolate-covered coffee beans, since Tom didn’t want anything. I’m going to be up a long, long time, but it’ll be worth it!

The Barbies only sold for a buck which kinda sucks, and they’ll be on their way to Indiana. It was funny because the woman who won them as a Christmas present for her daughter said the kid would be so excited to know they were coming all the way from California! I said that to Tom too, when we listed them. I said we may not get much for them, but that coming from here may be a plus for us. Yes, I do love this state when it’s not shitting on its gay residents! So anyway, I told her I understood the “Cali craze” having grown up in Massachusetts myself.

The radio’s doing a lot better with 7 watchers and 3 bids. It’s up to $26.99 and ends in 20 hours. Still not sure if we’re going to list the 11-lot of Barbies as planned.

I’m a little worried about Jessie and so I sent her an email. I told her I didn’t mean to scare her, but to please let me know if she’s ok because I had a dream she fell through the ice of a frozen pond and drowned! I may not get to talk to her much and I may never see her again, but she’s still such a nice person. I’ve known her forever and I know I could trust her with everything we own, too. She hasn’t one mean bone in her body.

We got a new battery for the scale and I decided that if I was up two or more pounds I wouldn’t resume dieting. I was 136 before the last battery died. So I stepped on the scale and it said I was 138, and so I said, “Okay, no more dieting.” 

But then Tom, who insisted all along that I hadn’t gone up, reminded me that I had to calibrate the scale to reset it. That’s when it told me the truth. I’m actually down a pound! So starting tomorrow I’m going to start up the diet again, though I don’t know how successful I’ll be. I can discipline myself with the running, but not the dieting. I haven’t been going up to 1500 calories for the most part, but I haven’t been down to 1000 either. I’ve been having around 1200-1400 a day. Not today, though!

I won a bottle of Tahitian Noni Juice. It’s a monthly sweep I’ve been entering for a while now. You only drink an ounce a day, but it’s not an energy drink like I thought it was. I don’t know what’s so special about it, but hey, it’s free! I haven’t tried it yet, though, cuz it says to drink it with meals and I’ve been so busy being bad with my Starbucks goodies that I haven’t had any real food yet today.

I’m probably forgetting other odds and ends, but if I think of anything else I’ll update later on like I usually do.
