1. I love having a phone with a camera. It’s not a great camera, but if I am out and see something photo-worthy, it is so convenient.

Take for instance, roosters. This is old as far as blog posts go, but it made the rounds of some of my friends earlier in the year. And that’s why you should learn to pick your battles. It’s hilarious, and still does not cease to crack me up. But, for the past couple of months, I have seen roosters EVERYWHERE. This one is live, and was across the road from one of the neighbors Friday evening when I got home, and yes I stopped in the road to take a picture:

Today on a shopping trip with my daughter, I finally had to stop and get her to take my picture with the big rooster.

ROOSTER DOWN!!!!

My daughter was none too happy to take the photo. I guess she was embarrassed because she claimed that she died. Anyway, that is the current big rooster. They sold the huge one that is in the below photo.

2. I have officially gone from XL to L. I celebrated by buying some new clothes since I had to buy Jamie new shorts because she outgrew most of hers. I spent a lot of money I didn’t intend to. $100 just on sports bras. eek.

3. I can no longer stand the smell of McDonald’s. Or maybe it was just the smell of Jamie’s “chicken” nuggets & bbq sauce.

4. I cannot figure out what is causing my scalp to flare up. It isn’t high fructose corn syrup. If it’s gluten, it’s a delayed reaction. Both bad cases have happened the day after drinking something from Starbucks with expresso. I guess I need to diligently keep a food diary. *sigh*

5. I’m ready to start running again. I am waiting until my follow up with the ENT tomorrow to get the official post-surgery green light. I think Jamie’s ready too, but I think she is mainly ready to get her medal. haha

6. Have failed my exercise goals for March. I know there is no way I will be able to do 10 pushups by the end of the week. 1 maybe, but not 10.

7. There is absolutely no way I will have 20 books ready by Easter. I’ve finished 8. I think I may be able to finish 12. Maybe.

8. I need a maid. I can’t pay for one. *sigh*

9. I also need someone to make me pancakes. Yes, sure, they are stupid easy to make; I just don’t feel like doing it. But I wants them.

    Camera phones are becoming more useful than regular cameras.

    OH, and #9. I’ve had that same craving, and same outlook on having to make them too. Now I know why. πŸ˜‰

      One thing I don’t like about my phone’s camera (besides the low resolution) is that I can’t silently take a photo unless I turn all the sound off on my phone. But that is what I get for getting a “not dumb” phone instead of a smart phone. πŸ˜‰

      hahaha! Seriously, I looked at the cabinet, and the stove, and it was just too much work even though it is hardly any work at all. :sigh:

    1. You need an iPhone. Then you can take those photos and play on instagram with the rest of us! πŸ™‚

    2. Way to go!! Changing sizes is definitely expensive, but still feels good! πŸ™‚

    3. Uh, yeah. Cause it’s not food. Yuck.

    4. Food diary! When I did mine, I made an excel spreadsheet – made it easier to keep track. Kept track of all food, times, symptoms, and times. Do it for a month. It’ll be worth it. πŸ™‚

    5. I can’t wait to start running again!

    6. I had no goals, so I met them.

    7. 12 is good, heck, so is 8!

    8. Ditto!

    9. Ditto!

      1. I may make that leap this summer when I can upgrade.

      2. But I still need to get some more soon. ugh.

      3. I didn’t even get one of the fru-fru drinks this time. I got a black coffee with a shot of expresso. That’s what has me puzzled. :huh:

      4. I started one and did it for like 3 or 4 days. :sigh:

      5. I am cleared Thursday. 2 more days of the sedentary life. But, funny enough, now that I am back on my diet, I am still losing, or at least losing what I gained when I fell off the wagon. πŸ˜‰

      6. haha

      7. And 2 of those were books I had already started before the challenge. πŸ˜‰
