bright lights...

hmmm....so i managed to lose the camera on tuesday at swimming. i was so excited watching the gaffer float on his back while trying not to kick instructor in the face that i could not remember what i did with it. my heart was wrenched in sorrow as i thought i had lost it. pics of gaffer running around, pics of gaffer running around naked (ohno! child porn!) and gaffer singing solo at Christmas pageant. lo and behold when i opened his napsack to stuff in treats, there it was. duh. why would i check the bag that i took to swimming? that would just make sense.

so today i got hooked up to a 24 hour heart rate monitor thingy. so i have 7 wires going from all over my chest and one under my armpit, attached to a long gray wire (about 5' long), attached to a gray cell phone looking thing. i'm supposed to wear it on my belt (???) or in my pocket. it's so attractive. i had to put on a very loose shirt as i look like i'm a freak with all the wires crossing under my shirt. putting on bra was especially tricky. i was told to go work out, so i did. but i'm not allowed to shower. hmmm..am very very sticky and stinky. not impressed. managed to remove gaffer's hands before they pulled them all off.

am registering for guelph conference tonight. rockstar hubby, being the rockstar he is, managed to put 200$ in the guelph fund coffee can today and said, 'do it'. so, by faith, we will get the money for me to go, and by faith, i will find a publisher/editor for my fabulous book which will, in my own dream, bring at least one person to Christ. then it was all worth it.

am waiting for strange tofu lasagne thing in oven to cook, and gaffer's chicken nuggets, as i listen to loud thumping against the walls in the basement from an indoor hockey game. i sigh. if anything breaks, he'll fix it.

am on new...er, diet. except it's not a diet. am resolved to lose 15 pounds. am tired of being tired and having sore knees. so i'm on the g.i. diet which is glycemic something or other diet. so now i'm eating tofu, less calories, and sweetener, which i do not agree with at all, and it tastes like ca-ca, but i'll suck it up. i'm even going to give up ..gasp.. my venti soy no water no foam tazo chai. i'm going to start that part next week. i figured eating tofu was a shock enough to the system, i wont' hurt my poor body by force feeding some kind of decaf, soy, sucralose sweetened vanilla latte. i wish i liked hazelnut. but i don't.

am reading fabulous new book. can't stop laughing out loud. it's called 'bright lights, big a##' by jen lancaster. seriously? cannot stop laughing. laughed beside math teacher at chapters...he put in his headphones. here is an exerpt, discussing ikea.

"it has special escalators for your cart to ride down next to you. there are also giant multilanguage signs in front of it saying:
do not put your baby stroller on here you dumbass because it's a conveyor belt and you don't put your baby on a conveyor and exactly how stupid are you that we have to repeat this ten times and with a picture of a baby stoller with a slash through it and how did you not notice this same sign pointing to the safe safe elevator ten feet away?"

i almost peed.
