Cranky Day

*A little back ground info for today’s entry:
1. I went to WSU, and take great pride in being Cougar alumni and sporting my crimson & grey colors, I love my school. Every college has to have a rival to make things more fun, so we’ve got the UW huskies with their purple and gold. However, I’ve never been too big on rivalry, and even though I’ll tell every husky joke I know to other Cougar fans, I’d never start with a UW fan. (Mostly because it takes too long to explain the jokes to them… ~giggles~) Really though, I’m just not interested in arguing with anyone about it.

2. My mom’s been talking to 2 guys she met on-line, Alan and Dan, one day she was trying to tell me something one of them said, but had to pause to think of his name.  I oh-so-helpfully offered, "Steve?" And she actually almost started to say the name of the non-existant guy before she stopped herself and yelled at me for adding to her confusion. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve offered up Steve’s name every chance I get and saying he’s my favorite, becuase I’m a brat like that. 🙂

Now on with the show! 

Today I still felt pretty blah.  I didn’t get enough sleep last night, then I had a bad scale day, then mom mom went to breakfast with Alan, they came in just as I was about to leave for work.  He walks her into the house telling all these stories about how he hides a UW ornament on his Cougar friend’s Christmas tree every year.  And he once put a UW licence plate on the same guy’s car, and once this other Cougar alumni he knows lost a bet and they made him pose for a picture in UW gear. Then he notices this cross stitch my mom made me of Cougar logo and says, isn’t that supposed to be in purple and gold? It really irritated me.  I mean even though he wasn’t saying anything mean, or directly insulting me, I just got the message of, "I don’t respect the college that you have so much pride in." I was telling my friend Bill at work about it and how annoyed I was, I said, "I bet if I broke his nose he’d bleed crimson!" Bill’s like damn, taking school spirit to a whole new violent level are we? Later, mom tells me that she even told him that I didn’t think things like that were funny, yet he still did that, so she was pretty mad too. Luckily, she’s smart enough to realize that since he wasn’t worried about being nice to or impressing her daughter, he’s not worth her time. (Yeah mom!) She also told me that this guy didn’t even go to UW! In fact, he didn’t graduate from any college.  Jealous much? I think so.

As far as the bad scale day, well, I’m attributing it to the crap food and all the drinking on Friday (I drank Drop Top and Mac & Jack, both ale beers that have a lot more to them than the "lite" beers I used to drink.) I felt so dehydrated on Saturday, I was quite literally drinking water ALL day yesterday. And because I’m stubborn, and I don’t want to let this bad combination of events bring me down or discourage me, I’m not going to post an official weigh in this week.  Well, I might, I’m going to weigh myself tomorrow morning, if it’s good, then I’ll post it. ~L~ I know, I’m crazy!  I just don’t want to get discouraged, I’m not in denial and I’m not going to spiral out of control, I just want to watch my weight go down. 

Mom and I went to the gym tonight, (this is where background info #2 comes into play) and mom decides to ask the guy working there what the owner’s name is, (we’ve been going there all most a year, and we see him all the time, and he’s super nice, (and super cute!) but we’ve never got his name.) Yeah, you guessed it, his name is Steve! How funny is that? Mom and I both cracked up laughing! Later, mom was like ok, I think I like Steve the best too! I forgive you for brining him up all the time! ~LOL~  Anyway, we found out tonight that the gym closes at 7 on Sunday, so we only got a partial workout in. (Well, I had 20 minutes, but mom only did 15 because she was looking in her bag for something!) We were good though, we came home and put in the 30 minute walk away the pounds video that we have! Yeah us! It was actually a really good workout, of course with something like that you get out of it what you put into it, and we did awesome!

So I was telling mom today how I thought it was pretty cool that Jennifer and Mattie didn’t make fun of me or anything when they found out that I liked "Mr. Smith", they actually totally encouraged me. She said too that it was a really good sign that they obviously liked him and didn’t have anything bad to say about him. Even my friend Jake, who hated high school and quite a few of the teachers didn’t have anything bad to say about him and also told me to go for it. (And Jake would totally let me know if he had a problem with him!) So that’s pretty cool.

Anyway, once again it is much too late, and my throat is starting to hurt, and I do not want to get sick! (I refuse, REFUSE! to get sick!) So off to bed with me!
