Since you asked for details...
OK, since I was accused of shoddy blogging, here are some details about my new puppy.
I'll be picking him up on Saturday, and he will be the ripe old age of 6 1/2 weeks. He is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and just about the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life. And, no, I'm not biased. When he gets to be full grown, if he's like his daddy, he will be around 100 - 110 pounds. He's light brown, and his fur is already starting to curl a little bit.
I got to meet him this past Saturday, but since it was a surprise, I did not have my camera with me, so I don't have any pictures just yet. But don't you all worry, I will take about a thousand pictures this weekend, when we bring him home. I can't wait!!!

I'm such a loser (hopefully)
The Y-town Community Cup is well under way, and I have joined the Biggest Loser team as an alternate. I had my first weigh-in yesterday - which wasn't as horrible as one may imagine. The woman weighing me was very discreet and professional and I wasn't as horrified by the number as I could have been considering I ate everything in sight for the 4 days preceding my weigh in. After signing up last Wednesday, I figured it was my last chance to really eat whatever I wanted.
About two years ago, in an attempt to help my eating habits, my best friend and I decided to keep food journals. Every week we e-mail each other what we ate the preceding week. Now, all kinds of weight loss gurus will tell you that this is one of the best ways to control your habits. Not for us. Perhaps because we are not judgemental of one another, we just go ahead and eat whatever the heck we want and then write it down. This method has not been very effective, so, I was thinking about food journaling on this blog. Perhaps I will be more mortified by what perfect strangers think about my eating habits and I will hesitate before putting food in my mouth that I don't want to record. Of course, my few limited readers may not care what the heck I do and may not want to read my blog if it's listing food, so I'm undecided at the moment.
I'm determined to do well with this. I always say I'm going to lose weight, but it never actually happens. But, since I don't want to let my team down, this is my motivation

I Succumb to Peer Pressure...
from Evilibrarian and went to find out what kind of nerd I am. I pretty much knew this before the quiz:
| What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Drama Nerd You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That's just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn't television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.) | |

Having fun, learning, and helping the world...
I'm throwing up a link in the sidebar to the website www.FreeRice.org. It's a vocabulary quiz, and everytime you get a word right the sponsers of the website donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program. I found out about this through People magazine of all places. It's pretty easy and a great way to kill some time. I heartily recommend checking it out. Just this morning I managed to donate over 5000 grains of rice and I learned some new words in the process!

Imagine the Twilight Zone theme in your head...
UPDATE: APRIL FOOLS!
It's official: we have ghosts in our new house. There have been some weird things happening lately - in particular stuff moving to different places that neither hubby nor I were doing. I thought with my own absentmindedness I was misplacing stuff, but apparently it's not me. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I got up last week and all the cupboard doors in the kitchen were open. It's bad enough I have to have a ghost, but he's so cliche. Anyway, a friend of mine from Cleveland is an expert in paranormal activities, and he came over the other day to check out the house and he did find the presence of at least one spirit. Apparently, this spirit is also fixated on my cat which explains some of her bizarre behavior. Since he's rather harmless at the moment, and not waking us up in the middle of the night or anything - we're just going to ignore him and see if he gets bored. Never a dull moment as they say!
