Talking Pedometer

Awhile ago, I think about 3 - 4 weeks ago I bought a talking pedometer from Publishers Clearing House and it finally arrived today. Now, I can see how many steps I take and it tells me how many calories I've burned. So it sort of gives me a bit more motivation to go walking because when I walk I can see how many calories I've burned. And it talks. Which I really don't see any really good use for that because you can barely hear it, you have to hold it up to your ear to hear it and even then it's still not great.

Doctor Who 1963/64

I am downloading Doctor Who from 1963/64. Ever since they introduced the new Doctor Who in 2005 I've been watching it on Sci-Fi channel and I got curious about what the doctor was like at the beginning because there are 26 seasons of the original Doctor Who. You can't help but be curious. I've already watched the first 13 out of 43 episodes (actually there are 42 in the first season but I'm counting the unaired pilot in that) and it's pretty good. There are so many episodes that were lost by the BBC and so this company has reconstructed the episodes with audio and some pictures that were saved from each of these episodes. I actually read that not all the episodes have "telesnaps" so I look forward to seeing what those episodes are like. I'm hoping to be able to download all 26 seasons but that will take a long time and use a lot of dvd+r's hehe. I wanted to buy them but they are rediculously expensive, about $50 for 4 episodes and each episode is only half hour so you can see why I'm downloading.

There's A Fly In My... Coffee?

YUCK I made a pot of coffee and I had a cup of coffee then I went back for a 2nd cup and decided to pour it into the carafe. I like to put it in the carafe because it doesn't use any electricity and it keeps the coffee hot. After I had filled the carafe I went to pour the rest in my cup and I noticed a fly floating in the coffee pot. OMG I had to dump out the entire pot out and then go throw up lol. Actually I didn't throw up because I had just eaten and taken my pills and I didn't want to waste them. But I wanted to lol.

I Can Blog Again

Finally I can blog again. It has been driving me crazy that I couldn't blog. I wanted to blog about this woman who was rude to me and I wanted to blog about Big Brother 10 and now I can. Although, the moment has passed for those 2 things so if I have something else to say about it now I can.

Kitchen Faucet

For the last 4 years that we've been living in this house I have been bitching about how bad the water pressure is in the kitchen. I thought it was the pipes and it was an internal thing so we just never went out and got a new faucet. So yesterday we were at the hardware store for something totally unrelated and while we were there Chip said while were here let's get a new faucet so we did. About half hour or so after we got home I went in there, too everything out from under the sink and that was a lot of stuff and changed it. It was very difficult getting the old one off because the hot and cold hoses were screwed right next to each other because the old faucet was the kind with 1 handle that you move up then right for cold then left for hot. So I finally got it all off and put the new one on and the water pressure is so much better now. I almost had a hard time doing the dishes last night because the pressure was so good, I wasn't used to it and I was trying to make it so I didn't get too much water going for fear of wasting it hehe.

Slim Fast Optima

I was very happy when I found out that Slim Fast Optima had a appetite suppressant that lasted 4 hours because I needed an appetite suppressant. I'm usually so hungry all the time and I needed something that would keep me from eating all the time so I can lose some weight. However, I was most unhappy to find that I was unable to go to sleep at night. I would take a sleeping pill and it wouldn't even take effect at all. I would end up taking another one and still nothing. I would take 4 sleeping pills and still no effect and it would keep me up until 3 or 4am and I would be laying in bed wishing I could go to sleep but I had so much energy even at 4am. This stuff is like speed lol. However I didn't put 2 and 2 together right away, I had no idea it was the slim fast until I stopped using the slim fast all day yesterday and I was able to go to sleep last night with no problems. And today around 6pm I got sleepy so I took a nap and was asleep until 9pm. Which is good because I missed dinner. Well, I wanted to because we ate Hometown Buffet for lunch and I ate more than I should have. I had a salad and then my 2nd plate I had roast beef, turkey, mashed potatos and gravy and corn. Then I had a little bowl of non fat ice cream with a little piece of mouuse which I couldn't eat all of because I was so full. I guess I will try to lay off the Slim Fast for awhile or maybe take it early in the morning for breakfast and then again for lunch then that's it for the rest of the day, see if that helps.
