Thursday Things
So thanks to Knocked Up, I’ve been having earthquake nightmares for the past couple of nights. During the earthquake scene in the movie, I had to look away because I knew it would bother me–I still remember the Northridge earthquake like it was yesterday. I guess living at the epicenter during an earthquake can do that to you.

I got my blood work back earlier this week–cholesterol is super super low, iron is back in the normal range (no more iron pills, woohoo!), but now…now we must deal with my high SED rate. It’s been high for a few years, ever since that horrible migraine from hell, and I had blood work done five million times for it, but then I got Mono and had my tonsillectomy and sorta forgot about it. Hah, no more. In the past week, I’ve had blood work done twice. Enough, enough, enough.

It appears a Coffee Bean has opened (or is opening soon) at my Ralphs. Just what we need–three Coffee Beans within one mile.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Kathy Griffin profile on Jdate? She (well, her 27-year-old self?) shows up in my search. For men. I thought originally that Jdate had been hacked. But no, it’s some kind of lame marketing campaign.

In TV news: I’ve been watching The Next Food Network Star and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get into it. The Top Chef special was kinda lame. And the Reunited: Real World Vegas show is really boring. On the other hand, I’ve also been watching Big Medicine on TLC which is quite interesting.

Tuesday marked the completion of my first week counting points; I lost 2.8 pounds. I know the first week is always the biggest loss, so I’m really only expecting to lose one pound a week from now on. I want to lose 10-15 more total. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) 15 pounds is somewhat easy to hide when you’re 5′9″. And not wearing a bathing suit.
And congrats to my best friend and WW buddy Julie, who lost this week too!

Yesterday at work sucked big time because it was five million degrees in my office. Then, I got home and my wireless Internet connection decided to not work. Then, my new DirecTV receiver decided to reboot. I hope the air is working when I get into the office this morning. Unfortunately, rumor has is that it won’t be. Ugh.

This week’s question: What is your favorite word and why? I know some of you told me when I asked for your least favorite word, but feel free to share again.
