Taking It Off Together Tuesday #15

This lack of sleep is really getting to me.

Hubz has been out of town. Out of state, really. But he doesn't travel very much so when he's gone?

I can't sleep.

I stay up late, late, late - until I'm about to crash - and don't get to bed until about 2am. I already know I won't sleep thru the night, and I'm up and out of bed before 7am to get the kids off to school and start the WAHM routine, 3 year old in tow.

The problem is, I'd like to start exercising again, but I can't do it on no sleep. lol - I tried that before - it wasn't cute.

So... since Hubz will be coming home tomorrow (hurray!) - I'm hoping I can get back on track and hit the ellyptical. I hope!

Then I can get rid of the pound I gained over the last week. Did I tell you about an old friend (or foe?) who's been poppin' in lately, right around midnight? Yeah, it's the "Munchies."

All Time High: 153.5
Last Week's Weigh-In: 149.5
This Week's Weigh-In: 150.5
Variance: 1.0 GAIN
Overall Loss: 3.0
Pounds to go: 25.5

Your Friendship!

Got this one from one of my very good friends, Cathy:

We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us
when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Spread the poem of FRIENDSHIP:

1. Everyday Life 2. Words of Love 3. Sheng's Simple Thoughts 4. Me and My World 5. Real Expectation 6. Muthahood Crib 7. Yours Here!

I'd like to share this with some great friends:

• VeraBear
• Toni
• Melissa B.
• Jessie

The Dark Knight

Wow. Now I know what all the commotion was about.

I finally went to see "The Dark Knight" - and am still trippin' off the wicked performance Heath Ledger gave.

He stole the show. Straight up.

I will definitely be picking up the DVD when it comes out December 9th. I feel like there's so many more details I missed!

Twilight | Obsessive Cullen Disorder

I thought about choosing one of our recent local book club picks... but how could I deny my obsession with Bella and Edward? This OCD - Obsessive Cullen Disorder - I have. ;)

I've even joined the Lex, the official fansite, and love reading about all the background information on the entire series, via personal correspondence from Stephenie Meyer herself!

Can I just tell you... that the Hubz has been SORELY aggravating me all week. All week!

But I told him all would be forgiven if he could just nail down premiere tickets for me. *wicked giggle*

I have scoured all over the internet to try and purchase premiere tickets - no such luck, of course. You have to know someone... to get an invitation.

Damnit.

lol - I did find out, thought, that new pics from the cast of Twilight will be in the October issue of the In Style magazine - look for it come September 26th. I can't WAIT until the movie hits the big screen November 21st. :D

Are you a fan of the series as well? Add your thoughts to our Twilight discussion and let us know which one of the books was your fave. Or anything else you'd like to share!
