*is grumpy*

So, I burned a THOUSAND CALORIES on the bike yesterday. Two hours, a little over twenty miles. I ate some jambalaya, and some peanuts.

And I stepped on the scale this morning...and hadn't lost a single stinkin' pound. Considering the fact that I was able to gain two pounds in one trip to the movie theater, you can imagine my displeasure.

After my shower, I shaved my legs and clipped my nails, and stepped back onto the scale. Oh, look. A whole pound came off.

I loathe my scale; I have no idea how accurate it really is. I loathe my body; my metabolism is shot to shit. I realize that this is the price we pay for getting older, but I don't have to like it.

Bah.

Frell, frack, dren, hezmana.

Okay, can we just start the year over?

In addition to wanting to throw my scale out the window (I'm about ready to make an executive decision on that and just BUY an actual good one with household money), I just went to pay the bills.

Understand that we were on the road last month when I paid the online bills. And I swear I paid them, at my folks' place. And the credit card bill, which is the one that incurs scary scary penalties if not paid...got paid.

However, neither the phone bill nor the power bill did. Usually the phone company sends me a little email saying "Thanks for your payment." I don't have one from last month in my inbox. It's entirely possible that I deleted it, because I'm stupid that way. But I swear I remember getting that email.

Actually, right now, I'm just doing a lot of swearing. Frell, frack, dren.

I'm debating doing the thousand calories on the bike again. And not eating a damn thing today. Words cannot express the absolute loathing I feel for that notion.

At least there's football on in a little while.

DUDE!

There's this Christian rock group called Holy Soldier that the Hubby and I really like. They did a cover of the Stones' "Gimme Shelter" that is FAR superior to the original (don't shoot me; I loathe the Stones)...and I just realized that "Prison Break" is using Holy Soldier's version in their teasers.

AWESOME.

Because I'm jealous of everyone getting to see the Dresden Files but me...

...I made a couple of icons to help me get over my angst.



Thanks to everyone today for putting up with my whining. I did eat a bit, earlier. And Da Boy has been word-building tonight. He seems to have this deep-seated fear of reading, but he loves to write. Go figure. But the word-building was cool, and he doesn't seem to realize that he is reading when he does that.

Writing? Haven't done any. In ages. Maybe I should do some editing on the GargoyleFic. Or something.
