I have a stye in my eye...

Of course I have a stye in my eye, I am leaving for Florida in 4 days. My vacation would not be complete without a major disfigurement. I am currently holding a hot compress to my eyelid and praying.

I had my weekly weigh-in tonight. I am .2 pounds away from 15 pounds lost. Two tenths of a pound. Sooo close. And I had no clothes I could take off to assist me. I won't be going next Thursday since I will be on vacation, but maybe the week after that I can hit the 15 pound mark.

In happier news, the Big Ten Network and Comcast reached an agreement!!! This is frickin' fantastic. Yippy for being able to watch the Gophers in my own house!!! It almost makes me feel better about having my vacation ruined by an enlarged eyelid.

Ok, it's late....

3 cool things....

Ok, first cool thing. I went over to ZarahZou's today to meet her adorable little baby girl. She did not name her rudolphtherednosedreindeerfionahonker. Zarisol is just the sweetest little thing, and made me briefly contemplate the possibility....But, no. No more.

Next cool thing - when I went to my Weight Watchers weigh-in, I wanted to lose 2 pounds to hit the 10 pound mark and get another 5 pound sticker. I not only hit the 10 pound mark, I am halfway to another 5 pound sticker. My total weight loss to date is 12.8 pounds. woo-hoo.

3rd cool thing- I am for surely going to the New Kids on the Block concert. We have our tickets. 16th row. Just close enough for Joey to hear me screaming. I listened to the Hangin' Tough cd on the way home from ZarahZou's. Since there was a detour, it took me like an hour and a half to get home, so I had plenty of time to listen. I still know all the words. I'm ready. I just can't decide what to wear.

I am having a problem with deoderant residue build-up. How in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks do I get it off my armpits. I have tried regular soap, exfoliator, shampoo, dish soap, laundry detergent, and face wash. Maybe I need to try some bleach and a bristle pad???

Ok, I am going to have my 4 point snack and then I'm going to bed. I really like that I am on a "food plan" where I am able to eat this close to bedtime guilt-free. As long as I plan right, I can save enough points for a decent snack, and I like that. I heart food. But I also think I would heart being at a healthy weight. So combining the two things I heart would be awesome!
