And today people commenced!

I have 2 weekends that I work, one of them. Commencement. We set up the ceremony, put out refreshments, refilled punch bowls and trays of cookies, then cleaned it all up. 5 hours on my feet.

What am I doing now? I have my feet up, am in my jammies and am watching Glee. It's 8, and I'm done for the night.

Clutter

Last night was my Wednesday Weight Watchers meeting.  I've had a few people tell me:  Why are you paying for someone to help you with weight loss?  Isn't that a waste of money?  My answer:  It works for me.

I sat in the meeting and thought about what works for me and why.  I decided that a cluttered, disorganized life isn't helping me what so ever.  I've noticed that when the house is a mess, I tend to eat out and eat poorly.

So, now in addition to the Weight Watchers, I need to get back into the FlyLady.

I've been kindasorta doing the FlyLady program for a while now.  Instead of having a room a week for my focus, I have a different part of the apartment a day.  I just can't believe it took that long for it to click.  When my life is decluttered, I am a healthier person.

Strangely enough, one of the things that is working for me is not keeping to do lists, or my points journal on my fancy iPhone.  I have a notebook that I keep in my purse for that.  I write out my week's to do lists, keep track of food and appointments in the book.  At night, I cross off everything I've done.  It's very old school, but it works for me!

GleeCap: Prom-asaurus

Well.... that was interesting...

• Blaine:  wow... that's some hair... 
• Brittany: I'm taking bets on if she graduates.
• Puck:  Again with the bets, but he was really sweet with Becky
• Quinn:  Well, now we know the extent of her injuries.  She can walk, but well or steady, but it's getting there.  I think Finn was a little hard on her.  If I was her I wouldn't debut it until it was a little more... perfected.  But if she's back to normal as of next week, I'll be disappointed!!
• Rachael:  I'm DYING to know what happens with her.  Seriously!!  DYING!!!

Wow, can I multitask or what??

I came home with a pile and a half of things to do. So I got home and I
~took out chicken and frozen cooked pasta (I always make too much, so I froze it)
~ took the dog out, and made a salad, ate it while the the chicken defrosted.
~ cut up and started cooking the chicken, while it simmered, I vacuumed the bedroom
~ combined the chicken, the pasta, and a good portion of a jar of pesto
~ I put the bedding in to wash, and remade the bed
~ then I sat down with dinner, and lazy Sangria.

Recipe: Lazy Sangria

I have a 2 quart glass bottle. I filled it 1/4 to 1/3 full of cheap red wine. The rest I filled up with fruit juice (blueberry pomegranate this time). I keep this in the fridge. When I want some, I just mix it with diet Sprite! So good!

Itchy! Again....

I usually spend the spring and summer with bug bites on my legs.  Bugs LOVE me.

Last night I realized that I rarely ever get bug bites on my thighs.  This means fleas.  *sigh*  The pup is itchy.  I don't know how, she's taken a pill AND the topical meds.  I believe she has another two weeks before she can take the pill again.

What this means is that I've been slacking.  I've been slacking on the vacuuming.  I know.  I'm a bad momma.

I got up this morning and stripped the bed.  I sprayed the bed (lightly) and the carpet with flea killer.  Tonight, I vacuum and wash the blankets.  I need to also clean up the living room floor, so I can spray and vacuum that one tomorrow.

Since there was no winter we knew that fleas and ticks would be awful this year.  Now I know what I need to do to combat that.  Clean!

Belated GleeCap!

My cousin remarked that I was late on this. I was!

Choke
~ Kurt made the right song choice, ultimately. I'm proud of his success

~ I had a feeling that Rachael would fail. She's overconfident at times. I don't think we've seen the last of her.

~ Puck. We all know that he's not a college man. But he's not that much of an idiot. I think that he's bored, and got Senioritus as a Sophomore. But he's got too much pride to keep fighting.

I'm curious about the prom next episode...

And in other news: I fell off the diet wagon. I'm working to get back on, but it's proving very difficult. The long walk today helped, unfortunately yoga was made of fail. I need bricks for one video, and the other is almost all Downward Dog, which hurts my wrists something fierce!

And now, some Sangria, and dinner. Tomorrow is Monday.

The Avengers

First, if you haven't seen it.  GO.  Go now.  It's everything a Super Hero movie should be.

Now, my thoughts:

• This is a Joss Whedon movie.  That includes all the things that we love about him (mixing humor with seriousness) and the things we hate about him (killing off characters).  Most of the humor that had the theater roaring involved the Hulk.  Especially Hulk tossing Loki around like he was a towel.
• The more I see Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, the more I want to go drinking with the man.  Hilarious!
• Thank god Cap't. America was there to formulate a plan.  Seriously.  
• 2 words: Scarlett Johansson.
• This is movie 2 of three that HEAVILY involves archery.  I want to learn to shoot now!
• What the hell is shawarma?  (Please don't tell me... it's from the movie.  And a reason to stay to the VERY end.)

Buying this one in Blu Ray FOR SURE!
