How cool was that tag thing? Seems most of the blogs I read have been tagged (and if it wasn't you but I've ever commented on your blog before then I struggled with who to tag and it was nothing personal and you can consider yourself tagged again by me since I was actually tagged twice so I could do this whole thing again and officially tag you but I'm just doing this instead. So yes YOU, you're it. I read your blog and wanna know. do it)
I was just telling sheri how it's weird how so many of us have stuff in common that we think is totally unique and we're alone about. Like food aversions, to face color changes, to bad hygiene habits (yes those are all me and at least 1 other person, I'm not the only weirdo) So unless there's a link between these weirdosities and being a blogger - which you never know right? or maybe blogging causes weirdness - again i'd buy it. It's a small world after all. or something. Is that my point. Sure we'll go with that.
But at the same time some things are sooo different. Things about random fears of some of you and political views of others, and so on.
I think that can relate back to this weight loss thing. Some people are all about the exercise and don't change much in the food department. Some people are all about the small portions or veggies only or something. Other people have some messed up food issues and do the binge thing. But we're all doing it for similar reasons, and we all know the frustrations of being stuck on a plateau or seeing a gain. We all have to deal with halloween (unless you're in Australia, I guess they don't do it there? correct me) and thanksgiving (again, Australia or anywhere out of north america, uh uh) and christmas baking (unless you're not christian I guess? or a consumer) and so we all know what each other is dealing with and can sympathize and comiserate. But we can also help each other and give suggestions and work together and challenge each other right?
Frick that even bored me. Sorry folks. You know it sucks here at work when writing that is more interesting than trying to work. blah.
What's new in other fronts of my life...I'm trying to order another magazine subscription from eBay. Like $0.99 for 3 years of Marie Claire, not that that's a magazine I even read, but getting it so darn cheap for the next 3 years is something I could handle. You guys should check that out too.
I took over work for this girl who just had a baby (today!) and I'm totally in over my head. Probably why I avoid doing it. Just seems way to worky.
Got a full draft of my thesis in, so I'm just waiting for edits, totally out of my hands for a little while at least.
Hubby's car got totalled off in the little accident a few weeks back. It's seriously nothing but it's a '95 ford escort that's got millions* of miles on it (*may not be accurate) and has seen better days. Well some bozo backed into him (parked) outside a bar and then drove away, so when hubby left he saw the hood dented and the grill thing broken so he called the cops and there's a security camera on the bar so the guy confessed. So we won't have to pay our detuctable at least, plus it being totalled off means we'll probably get more for it than we would if we tried to sell it. I really have no idea how this works, but I guess this is really awesome timing considering we wanted to get rid of it soon.
So now hubby and I are trying to save some money and get by borrowing SILs car until January or so (save up a bit) and then get a truck, and I'm hoping from the states. If anybody has any info on doing this please let me know. Hubby is really nervous about this, like there must be some catch somewhere. But i've been doing my research and the only thing it looks like is there won't be any warranty and you can't buy new, (which I wouldn't do anyways, what a hose job!). But with our dollar so ridiculous we could save like $10,000 and with that you can fix a lot of things yourself so you don't need a warranty. but it's nerve wracking. (again, perhaps if I had that stress gene this might not seem so easy to me and I might worry about it, but all I see are the pros)
Anyway, it's finally the end of the day here team. So I'm off to the gym! Have a good one!

I think the face color thing is a Scottish thing.
And I'm not a hippie! Maybe just a hippie-sympathizer. I think I'm too young to be an actual hippie anyway. And they probably kick you out of being a hippie if you go to church every Sunday too.
sorry to hear about the car. I don't have any real advice, but I'm glad to hear your doing your research!
That's pretty cool about the magazine subscription thing on Ebay. I never thought you could get deals on magazines on ebay before...hum..I just learned something!
I'm pretty sure you have to pay duty tho. My parents bought a $30,000 motor home over there a couple years back and they had to pay duty on it.
oh and about the face thing, mine is sooo bad I hate it. last night at the grocery store these 2 guys in front of me didn't have a discount card so I let them use mine and I could feel my face getting so red, so I didn't even want to look at them or talk to them. I thought of you. hehe. ARggg I hate it.
I heard them talking about buying cars in the US the other day on the radio, but I only heard bits and peices. I remember thinking though that it could be that the dealers are passing on the lower prices to customers here now becaues they are the ones who have the "licenses" or whatever to buy them down there and they are getting them for less and they are trying to keep customers here. So if you check out the dealerships, you might just get a decent deal here without going through the headache of trying to do it yourself. That said, I don't know what I'm talking about either!
my bf also hates showering. i have to bribe him or take away things he wants to get him to shower. and if i go to the gym at night i won't shower before bed. once a day is enough thank you!
