Is it really 10:30pm? I can’t believe it. Time certainly does fly – I was for certain that I would be in bed tonight by 9:30am and well rested for the ‘photo hike’ my friend and I are going on in the morning. I am so excited, and I can’t wait to post the pictures from it tomorrow, or maybe Sunday.
Today I came home from work to Mr. B putting together my new crisp white corner unit for our TV and Wii and other essential items. I was so happy I was geared up and ready to move furniture around, hang things on the wall, etc., etc…. when he pulled out the glass doors and this is what we saw… 
My heart sunk and my dreams were shattered (too dramatic? Yeah I know). Not really but I was a little disappointed. I’m so excited to start putting this place together. With things I can take with me when and if we ever buy a house. After talking to overstock.com customer service support in a annoyed calm and impatient rational voice they were coerced agreed to mail us a replacement door – this may or may not have been after they told me I needed to ship in the whole unit (that was already put together by loving husband who wanted to surprise me when I came home from work) back to the store then they would send me a new one. I stood my ground (what? I never do that you say? ha!) and insisted that they allow me to send in the door and they send me back a door, much cheaper shipping costs on their part, and a little less hassle on mine. How am I supposed to fit this large thing in my little car? Exactly. So I swept up the mess, cooked dinner, and (using none of the restraint I have) pestered my loving husband to let me go ahead and set everything up, he has a lot more ‘standing your ground’ in his blood than I do, that’s for sure. So I have the doorless and backless stand sitting in my living room until overstock decides to send me another door. How fun!
So I cooked dinner and I was looking so forward to it – it was delicious and simple. Mr. B on the other hand, didn’t like it – I think he has an allergy to wholesome food. I bought a rather large Ahi Tuna steak the other day and was so excited to cook it up tonight with a little soy sauce, lemon, basil, and pepper – mmm mmm good! Added some Quinoa and Asparagus and had a delicious little dinner – 10 minutes after which Mr. B popped him some popcorn, that’s my cue that he really didn’t care for it – but it was yummy you can trust me on this one.
Today was my fourth first day back on The Spark and I think I did mighty well if I say so myself. 70g of Protein – 1233 calories – 30g fat – 150g carbohydrates – 24g fiber. It also helps that I won a copy of the new book by The Spark from Then Heather Said. She had a giveaway and the words that went through my head were – why not, I never win anyway – and what do you know?! I won! So I’m excited to get it and read it. I have decided that 2010 is my year for me (in case you missed the last post) I thought I would repeat it. I watch The Biggest Loser on Friday nights and as this was the first week of the show – 2 teams (Blue & Yellow) were sent home for 30 days to loose weight then they would come back – insert yadda yadda here- I decided that I would compete with them as well, so tomorrow is my first ‘weigh-in’ cause no one should weigh in at 11pm.
I’m off to have a good sleep and get ready to go in the morning tomorrow, night all. Also, let me know what you think about the new comment system.
