Here We Go Again
As BFF so eloquently stated, this year is halfway over. Now it's time for me to shit or get off the pot as far as my new year's resolution for a leaner, meaner me. I don't know if I have shared this information with you before but on September 20th I get to be a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding. I don't know if you recall the last time I was a bridesmaid, but it was almost exactly two years ago. That particular dress drove me to hire a trainer at the gym and go on Weight Watchers. That day was probably the least I've weighed ever since.
Since then I have put on about twenty pounds. That's ten pounds a year. I guess that is about normal for those of us that pay no mind to what we put in our mouth, but it is not acceptable. So on Monday I started another diet. I know, I know. We have been down this road before. But rather than do extreme shit, I decided to just cut about 500 calories a day from my diet and walk an hour a day. So far so good. I haven't been drinking beer at night or popping bite sized candies and junk food in my mouth every thirty seconds in the office. I walk Kiyah once in the morning and once at night. I figure eventually I will go to the gym... probably next week though. One thing at a time.
My goal is to lose 10 pounds by my brother's wedding, 25 by my own in April of '09. I will be keeping a diet blog so that this one won't turn into "All I Think About Is Weight: A Never Ending Rant by Randi." I think it's going to be the least interesting reading of all time but I think it will help me.
MORAL OF THAT STORY: Sure, the boy cried wolf more than he should have but eventually that wolf showed up didn't he? Yes he did.

TMI Tuesday: Class of '95 Edition
1. What were you known as in HS (Jock, Princess, Geek)?
Hard to say. I was smart (ASB, Speech team, Honor Roll) but I also was pretty friendly and knew people from all the cliques. Not exactly a geek but not exactly popular. If anything I guess I was known as a druggie. I mean, my nickname was Shroom for goodness sake and even though Trondela swore it was because of my bob hair-do I think he was lying.
2. What were you really?
I guess I really was an experimental drug user but I worked hard, babysat, had an after school job and participated in extracurricular activities like cheering at basketball games, etc. so I wasn't a total outcast, a geek or any particular high school cliche.
3. If you could go back and tell your 16 year old self one thing, what would it be?
Dear 16-year old self,
You really should study harder and not sell yourself short because not going away to college will be one of your biggest regrets later.
Love,
31-year old self
4. If you could erase one moment from your school days what would it be?
Dating Doug.
5. Who did you not date (or more) that you wish you did?
Travis Borneman. Good Lord. He had just drunk a beer with a chili pepper in it and kissing him made my lips tingle and burned my mouth a little bit. I wasn't giving it up back in the day so when I wouldn't let him go all the way he promised he'd marry me if I would. LOL
Bonus (as in optional): If you went to prom, describe your outfit.
I wore an ankle length dress with a sweetheart neckline, spaghetti straps and a slit up to the middle of my right thigh. It was red sequins and it was amazing. Picture a flat chested Jessica Rabbit. I wore silver shoes just to be different. I even slept in my prom dress that night. Never even took off my pantyhose. Poor Willie.
Questions are from here as always.

Skadouche.
Saturday was our Asian Fusion day. We started off with a matinee of Kung Fu Panda and then we went to the Obon Festival at the Buddhist Temple for some Udon and deliciously flavored Teriyaki chicken and beef. Too bad we couldn't manage to squeeze in a visit with Miss Kitty as she is half-Japanese and our plans were foiled to partake in a Vietnamese or Korean dinner. Oh well. Next year.Anyway, back to the flick. Buzz and I have decided this is probably one of the best movies we have seen this summer. Is anyone more hilarious than Jack Black? I just don't think so. He makes me laugh so hard I think I'll pee myself. Add to that Seth Rogen as Mantis and I'm just as pleased as punch.
This was a great story with lots of laughs. The animation is awesome. The voices are perfectly matched to the characters. It still amazes me that cartoons lately trump most real life action movies I've seen.
And Lord help me, Angelina Jolie is in this one too and I just love her. I do. I crossed over and I think she's just swell. Congrats on birthin' the twins. Good luck conquering the world.
