Happy Saturday!

This week had to be the most demanding week ever. Does anyone else feel that way? Work and other commitments almost drove me to the liquor store. Of course, I gave up alcohol for Lent…so I was planning to just stalk the booze and look suspicious. LOL

On a positive note, my “skinny” jeans fit again. I’m still blind on the scale, but if the SJ’s fit, then I’m fairly close to glory again. I was talking about my swim plans yesterday and a coworker (that wasn’t part of the conversation) informed me “you’re going to lose your butt”. First of all, why are you worried about MY ass? Secondly, while I adore my butt (now), I wouldn’t mind lifting it a bit more and toning up. Third, this woman is 375+ lbs…and always giving out workout/nutrition advice. WHY? I’m not trying to be catty…but you lose some credibility if you aren’t doing the ol’ practice/preach thing. I guess what they say is true…every overweight person is an expert on health/fitness. I can look at a conference table full of food and calculate point values. I’ve been brainwashed, fo’ sho…

So…what do you all have planned for the weekend? I’m doing a bit of shopping and a lot of cleaning this afternoon. We’re going to Spankee’s tonight, so I need to pick up something clubish to wear. Sunday I’m going to see Hitch with Chesty and Red…grab some dinner at OTB (their sizzlin’ fajita salad is the bomb!)…and then prepare to be the hostess with the mostess for Oscar! Oscar!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
