I keep writing things up in notepad as I think of them and then leaving it for days at a time without posting it, so it just keeps getting longer and longer. Bah.
-Egypt... god. It's getting really scary over there. I really don't know the ins and outs of everything, so I'll leave my commentary at that.
-This last snowstorm was nowhere near as bad here as it was in places like Chicago, thank god. The problem here though? Is that it's just snow after snow after snow and it's not melting in between, so it's just continuing to pile on. We're running out of places to PUT the stuff, seriously. They're going to have to start actually transporting it out soon. In the meantime, the other big problem is ICE. I practically need skates to get to work, it's that bad.
-My W-2's finally came in. YAY YAY YAY. Now I just have to sit down and do my taxes, probably Tuesday or Wednesday when I can just take the whole day and get them done in one shot. Ugh. Can't we skip to the part where they give me money?
-Weight loss has been going well, if we're going by the Wii scale- just over 10 pounds for January! It's not nearly as good with the other scale, but hey, either way I'm losing, so I can't really complain.
The really cool thing though? I don't know how many of you are familiar with Wii Fit, but when you weigh in, it gives you a little chart with your BMI results. Like so:
(And yes, that's my Mii. ^_^) Since I've HAD the Wii Fit, that blue line has shot straight up to the top of the "obese" section because it couldn't go any higher- I weighed more than the chart allowed for. However, I noticed the other day... it DOESN'T go all the way to the top anymore. THE BLUE LINE STOPS BEFORE IT GETS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. I'm not going to lie, it's still pretty close. Obviously. But... wow. I just stood there and gaped at the TV for a minute or two this afternoon when I realized. THAT IS SO AWESOME! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-I found this amusing...
Not surprising, of course, but amusing. This is pretty much what I've been saying for YEARS- it's not just a personality thing that I'm kind of androgynous, it's how my brain works. Some things it's more male in, some things it's more female in, but at the end of the day, the way my brain functions and the way I process and think about things is pretty middle of the road. Although in all fairness I should probably take the test again, simply because it was EXTREMELY late when I took it and I was exhausted.
(Test is here, by the way: Brain Sex Quiz! Some pretty interesting stuff.)
-Found a recipe for Black Forest Cheesecake Brownies that a coworker has since been asking for incessantly. He's not working again till Monday, so I'll probably do that Sunday night just to shut him up. Might try the cake from last time again too, maybe tonight if I feel like it, though obviously in the oven instead of the slow cooker this time. <_< I had to buy almond extract for the brownies, so I'm thinking I might try replacing the vanilla with almond for the cake as well. More of a nutty thing. Worth a shot, right? I mean god, even if it's awful, SOMEBODY at work will eat the damn thing. The benefits of having coworkers that have garbage disposal stomachs. :3
