Coffee, comrades?

May 15, 2008

Coffee, comrades?

Comrades

Good morning, and cheers, fellow United Workers of America. I bring you wishes of peace and solidarity and caffeination.

Having recently bid adieu to my Super Mullet of Horror, and only minutes ago, canceling my membership to Weight Watchers Online, i'm feeling marginally out of control and carefree this morning. Like I'm 36 again.

Why cancel the membership? Why not? I had success. I had failure. Or rather, I have failure. I'm going to try a new thing: eat less, move more. Now who's talking about revolution, eh comrades?

But I want to focus on the positive things in life. Things like:

1. Epic Dental Gum
So I mention this gum on my blog a few weeks ago, and they must have a nice Google Alert set up, and they send me the following: a Party in a Box as a thank you for the blog mention.

Customerservice

Buried in all that adorable color is this guy, and he's full of, you guessed it, gum:

Pinata

Epic Dental, you have officially got it goin' on in the customer service department. You have made me and my teeth feel loved. (Even if the pinata was a tiny bit psychotic looking.) Bravo to you!

Seriously. Companies that do stuff like this? Hug them. They are few and far between.

2. This photo makes me happy:

Travel

I don't know why. Traveling isn't high on my list of Things I Love, especially after my recent trip to Utah where the combination of turbulence and lightning exploding just outside our plane made me never want to be higher than a second floor apartment ever again.

3. Cole's shoes and the back of his head.

Lookingdown

I just like his shoes and the back of his head a lot.

What are you feeling positive about today? Please, do tell.

    Cathy, I hesitate to post because I hate to sound like some weird stalkerish sales person waiting to jump on someone that mentions their weight (I really do read your blog every day… or at least the days you post), but I wanted to share something that is working for me. I couldn’t find an email address for you, but if you are interested in looking at my website you can email me at tonaly at gmail dot com. Have a great day!

    It’s hard to look at the positive right now because my uncle unexpected passed away on Sunday, leaving behind his wife who is dying of cancer. It just hasn’t been a good week.

    But I’m feeling VERY positive about my family and friends. My best friend not only sent me flowers on Monday to cheer me up, she also made me homemade mac-n-cheese and chocolate chip cookies.

    1. It’s been a week since I lost my graphic designer job here in the Motor City where unemployment has been rampant and leading the 50 states for some time.
    2. Paid half of $2K initial installment today to Kid #3’s orthodontist…even after having DUAL dental insurance.
    3. Kid #1 home from first year of college. I’m not looking forward to adding him back to our auto insurance where his annual premium alone is over $2K.

    Oh, you said positive things.

    1. I have a photo shoot on Saturday for a cool family!!!

    I’m (a little) better now.

    3.Organizing the kids clothes. It feels so good to make a big pile for give-away.
    4. The sun came out for our end of year Cub Scout BBQ tonight.
    5. Being ok with the fact that b/c of above cottage deal, I will not be meeting you in Buffalo at the end of the month.

    I am happy today because I ate a healthy snack after a hard workout (because I have to show my trainer my food journal tomorrow)

    I quit WW last year. For more than $500 I hadn’t lost any weight. The program is right, but I am not. I use SparkPeople now – all the great features of WW online (tracking, message boards, recipes, exercises, articles) & no co$t or gimmicks.

    I still remember you using the term “net zero” about weight loss. When I think I have had a bad eating week & the scale is not my friend, I think about the term net zero & it cushions the blow just a little.

    Hmmm. Positives.
    1. My students are all taking tests with me today (five periods worth) which means I can pretend to do important stuff on the computer, but really post messages here and check out my favorite websites. Of course, all while making sure they don’t cheat…but since I have different test versions, it is harder for them.

    2. I have a new coffee cup given to me by some students and it is so cute that it just makes me happy. Happier yet with the coffee in it.

    3. I have a shirt on that I like, even though my arms are too fat for it. I am not caring today.

    4. My three year-old daughter ate the muffin that I was planning on eating for breakfast today, which means I have a better chance of sticking to my WW points for the day. I will eat my yogurt and an apple instead. Oh….and I started WW TODAY! and while it might not be working for you all….I had to do something because in about a minute my ass will be too big to fit into any pair of pants that I own. πŸ˜‰

    I promise, promise, promise (PROMISE) this isn’t promotional spamming of any type (look, see, I have a personal blog). But…I work for an insurance company and write about dental insurance. My company offers members a discount on Epic products. something to check out and see if your dental insurance offers.

    today, i’m feeling happy, happy about my best girlfriend setting up a blog so i can see cute pictures of her kids AND, because i’m going on a beach vacation in T-minus 11 days. YAY!

    I’m feeling happy today because my obsession with Led Zeppelin, more particularly Robert Plant just seems okay after reading about your, uh, um, being a fan of Neil.

    Hey, can I help it my mother kept me in music exile and I’m first now gaining an appreciation for music I should have been exposed to much earlier in life.

    Anyway, the obsession started when you posted the Plant/Krause Raising Sand link here. Obsession still going strong.

    Thanks Cathy!

    Quick question: Still live in MN? My daughters are doing a “postcard quest” and trying to get a postcard from all 50 states (and other countries, as well) this summer. They are both (9yrs and 13yrs) having their tonsils out as soon as school is out, and we won’t be traveling. So, we were looking for fun things to do. Thus the quest. And we have no Minnesota, so we thought we’d try and see if you might be able to send us one? If not, as you are super busy, no big deal, just thought we’d ask!

    – I am almost finished with the invitations I am MAKING for my dd’s 7th birthday party. And they look pretty darn cool, if I may say so myself. They have been one of the few creative things I have been able to do lately (due to positive thing #3) and I have so enjoyed it!
    – We started our own business last year and we are totally paying our bills, not scared to death about the house payment, etc, and my husband and I are still even talking to each other after working together! WOW WEEEE! πŸ™‚
    -I have been so very blessed with awesome children, a sweet dog and of course there is that husband who is still talking to me who is an awesome person.

    I don’t know why but I feel positive this morning although I had to pull myself out of bed (had a dinner with friends last night; Japanese food so we were home rather late), when we were getting ready to go to school it was drizzling, thought a minute about going by car and then decided to go by bike (as usual) instead. The drizzle made me happy and the little boy in the back who was putting his tiny hands on my back for warmth even more. On the way back the drizzle had become rain. So I was wet when I got home. It made me happy. Silly me. And here I am reading your blog, writing this little note (my hair and clothes still a bit wet from the rain), I smell a fresh pot of coffee and I am happy.

    Hooray for you on cancelling the WW subscription! I do think WW is probably one of the best programs out there, but you’ve got the secret formula – eat less, move more! I’m dragging around a few extra pounds and keep resisting signing up for WW or buying any books. Eat less, move more. It’s simple, and you are all over the simple thing! It will happen, slowly, but it will happen!

    1. Your post about Epic gum and it being Gluten free!!! My oldest was just diagnosed with Autism and I am looking into the Gluten free diet. So thanks for adding a treat for him!

    2. Having an Uppercase Living Demo. with friends tonight and looking forward to some girl talk (I have 3 sons!)

    3. The way my 3 yr.old says fork- it comes out as F&%#. Totally inappropriate I know – but after this past week I needed a laugh.

    4. That my 3 yr. old’s test for diabetes came out negative this morning.

    5. That my 2 yr. old’s scan on his kidneys came back clean! (I told you it has been a week!)

    Today I am happy because I get to see my sister. And because I have a craving for beans. Which must mean I am now, officially, a health nut.

    Or maybe just a nut.

    Probably just a nut.

    It’s Friday… nothing better than a Friday to lift the spirits!

    What’s not so great:

    American Idol and Criminal Minds are both on TV at the same time tonight, my VCR is broken and I’m not techie enough to have anything else to record with. (in case you think i’m insane, I’m in the UK so American Idol is totally behind over here, it’s the semi-final tonight).

    If you can save me the trouble of watching AI by telling me the outcome, please feel free.

    I’m dang stinkin’ happy about the COCA COLA I bought at 8:30 this morning in the McDonald’s drive thru for $1 – it’s a large too they just have a $1 deal going on all summer! I had gotten up just moments before to drive my youngest to school after fighting with him about his spelling homework (he’s 8 – the DEVIL age!) and after dropping that little sucker off at school I promptly drove my striped pajama pants wearing arse to Mickey D’s. I had my NAVY BLUE sweatshirt on even though it was already 80 degrees – it helps to cover up the morning hair – my navy sweatshirt is comprable to your orange one in the love department.
    Yeah they gave me the funny looks and the “that’s it??” when I only ordered a large COKE but hey It made me happy and that is what matters….RIGHT!

    What am I feeling positive about…

    1) Reading Cathy Zielski’s blog

    2) Having the shortest haircut of my life right now

    3) Scrapping some last week despite the fact that if there is a problem possible with a computer, I experienced it last week. Who needs to print anything from a computer when you have a stack of 10 year old photos and an ink pen?

    Good luck on the new plan (eatig less & moving more).

    I’m positive I made the right choice to quit smoking 2+ years ago. I’m positive the 20lb. weight gain is temporary. I’m positive that my daughter will graduate from High School next month. I’m positive we survived her adolescence. Life is Good (my cellphone said so)
