Root canal today. Much easier than the last one. Possibly because I popped a Vicodin in the cab on the way over. (Which caused me a little worry when she was all "I'm just going to test it to make sure we've got the right spot. Tell me when this hurts." "Ummm..")
Then I stopped at Filene's and the clerk forgot to ring up a $40 shirt. When I noticed my first thought was "Crap, what if I need to return...nevermind." If I were a better person (or thought the cashier could get jacked for this in some way) I'd take it back. I'm not.
Got home to find frantic messages flying all around about a project I'm working on. I swear, it's like the entire company is fifth graders playing telephone - people all the way up the food chain getting their panties in a twist because one guy keeps using the wrong term and sending everybody off in the wrong direction. By the time I got that settled, the project is actually in way better position than it was before I started making my fix-it calls, so that's good.
Turning out to be a whiplashy kind of day, actually.
I want to remodel the kitchen in our apartment. The cupboards and countertops all suck, and need to go.
The stove needs to go, too. We might actually make that happen in the next year or so.
Has anyone ever used a weight loss/fitness site called SparkPeople? I stumbled across it yesterday after googling for a recipe nutrition calculator and decided to register for it because it seemed to have more useful features than FitDay. So far I'm favorably impressed (though I'm avoiding the community aspect, setting my info and recipes to private, etc.), but the name is so corny and vaguely cultish that I keep expecting to be asked to accept Xenu as my personal savior or something.
I had an embarrassment of brown bananas in my freezer. So I'm now going to have 2 large loaves of banana bread. They are in the oven now. My bowls were barely big enough to mix them.
I've been getting the e-mails from SparkPeople for a while (because I signed up for them). No one has asked me to join a cult yet.
I don't use the message boards and stuff, though.
Yeah, I'm message board averse WRT that kind of thing. I know having a support group is supposed to be a huge help in losing weight, but I need to find a support group of people who can be suitably snarky and cranky enough to not make ME hit stabbity levels of crankiness.
but the name is so corny and vaguely cultish
I doubt your commitment to SparkPeople.
t /cult film allusion...
Am I tired, or is that no longer a fun game? I think I want movies which are genuinely cultish instead of quirky films that are marketed as such. From now on, only quotes from Romanian and Korean movies unreleased in the United States or Bollywood actions films from the 40s!
I was using SparkPeople for a bit. Lots of interesting emails. and eventually, they stopped after I stopped signing in.
I've used SparkPeople. I found the food tracking section to be well configured.
So I was just on the phone with my parents, and they were describing a guy they had met recently. I was like, "Stop. Right now go google the comic book guy from the Simpsons." They laughed hysterically -- said their guy was less fat and had a longer pony tail, but basically yeah.
Classic.
