Hi ho, Hi ho, it’s off to work I go
While I thought my week was wide open, I ended up taking a bunch of hours at one of the other stores and worked my butt off. Today I worked 9-7 and tomorrow 10-6. It’s tough working that much, especially nights and week ends as I don’t see the family that much, but it’s nice come payday! I have one sub job lined up for next week and a couple for the following weeks. Hopefully I’ll start getting more of those and can work less hours at SC.
As for the bite, it’s much better. They do think it was a spider bite that I had a reaction to and developed an infection as well. The treadmill stress test was because I spent last Saturday in ER with chest pains. They diagnosed it as costochondritis, but wanted a stress test to double check the rest of the tests and make sure there was no cardiac involvement. And the results so far look really good. It’s just another weird ailment that I managed to get. Go figure! Gave me some Naproxen and Vicodin for that.
In better news – I’ve lost almost 20 lbs so far! Woot. I was very pleased! Hopefully by November I’ll be at weight I’ll be happy to take some pictures. I wanted to have some family portraits taken this year. Shh… don’t tell anyone, it’s a surprise! LOL
I finally started (and finished) Breaking Dawn. It was weird, before it was released I was so anxious to get ahold of it. Then when we got it, I couldn’t get motivated to read it. Once I started though, I had to stay up late and read and then got up early to finish. It was great! A fairly anticlimactic ending, I was hoping for something a little more — I don’t EARTH SHATTERING? It was good, although I predicted most of it with her use of foreshadowing… but excellent none the less.
Along that line we FINALLY got to see Dark Knight. I have to agree with everyone else, Heath Ledger gave an AMAZING performance. I also loved the plot line. But I have to say, I wasn’t as impressed as I would have hoped to be. I think it was a case of too much build up. That often happens when I don’t see something completely amazing right away — I listen to all the hype, build my preconceived notions and then end up disappointed. I dislike that fast camera angles and dark settings. But overall –I was happy and thought it was fantastic. Didn’t like the chick who replaced Katie Holmes, and didn’t like the Rachel character in this movie, but like I said overall a great movie!
Alright, enough rambling. I need to get some shut eye, I have to work all day tomorrow —
Question of the day:What was the last movie you saw at the theater?

“Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” Because terrific58 made me go to distract myself from my baby starting kindy.
:celebrate: Way to go on your weight loss, thats great!
I can’t for the life of me remember the last movie we seen, not that it’s been that long ago, just can’t remember what it was?
I couldn’t even tell you, it’s been so long. The movies from the library are more in my price range, although I would like to see the Batman movie in a theater.
:so-cool: We finally saw Dark Knight yesterday, actually, too! OMG! I have to agree as well….Heath Ledger will get an Oscar for sure…he was absolutely amazing…what a DARK, dark character….and I just keep thinking how sad he’s gone…and how could this be the same guy from BROKEBACK?? fabulous…
oh, my…congrats on that weight loss, girlie!!! :celebrate:
*applause* on the weight loss. I am so happy for you.
I wondered if your bite was a spider bite. That’s so weird, but I’m glad your doing well despite the bite.
I think the last movie in theatres I saw was Indiana Jones. I haven’t seen Dark Knight yet but keep hearing good things about it.
I am so far behind on the blog reading. I am now reading your book club choice and doing my Bible Study work. Congra’s on your weight loss. I will see you at the zoo. If you don’t have a pass, I have a pass that will let you in for free.
