Where Have I Been?

Posted By on December 13, 2010

Well, that was not an intentional blogging hiatus. In fact, I really wanted to post. But last week started off with a trip to Pittsburgh for work and then I never really recovered and basically slept the rest of the week as much as I could.

Some people probably think they are missing out on SO! MUCH! when I go a week without posting. Those people would be wrong. Here is just a sampling of what I have been up to:

  • I almost missed my flight to Pittsburgh last Monday. The security line resembled this, something I’ve NEVER seen at Midway airport.

  • This was before 7 AM, mind you. And this was just the line for the TSA person to check your ID. You still had another line to wait in to get through security.
  • I made it, barely, by running. In heels. Because of course my gate wasn’t like B3, it had to be B19 all the way at the end of the terminal. I only ran because I was PAGED! They paged me throughout the airport! “Pittsburgh passenger Kristin Johnson!” I wasn’t going to miss that flight, so I ran.
  • And then it took me the entire hour flight to recover from being winded from my 1/4 mile jog through the airport.
  • I need to go to start going to the gym again.
  • Speaking of, I re-joined Weight Watchers. For the 17th time in the last six years. BUT! It’s a new program! And I can’t guesstimate anymore since everything is new! So this should help!
  • Except I drank my week’s worth of points in beer and shots on Sunday while out watching football.
  • This is why I’m fat.
  • Other things I’ve been up to since I last posted? Not cleaning, not doing laundry and not moving from the couch.
  • Oh! And I’ve started watching True Blood. And I am now hooked. And debating upping my Netflix account so I get more than one DVD at a time.
  • I’m also reading the books. Both the show and the books are equally good.  And if you tweet about True Blood, fake True Blood characters will respond to you.

  • I have also spent an insane amount of time scraping ice off my car windows. I don’t even want to talk about how it isn’t even technically winter yet.

And now I’m off to bed. Before I get hungry and eat all my points for tomorrow on string cheese.

    YOU ARE NOT FAT!

    Amanda was telling me about the new WW program last night and she thought it was neat. I always let her join and then tell me the tips. 😉

    I may have to cave and finally watch True Blood. 🙂

    I’m so glad you’re loving the Sookie books! That was a super fun series, and because it’s a pretty LONG series, I loved having book after book after book to read. (If I’m remembering correctly books 2, 4, 5 and 9 were my favorites…)

    And ERIC. Eric on True Blood was pretty perfectly cast.

    Hey, just a non-related comment (well, I read your post and enjoyed it, as usual :)) because of BACON. I just came across this post about how bacon apparently is all the rage now (and you were a fan before it got hyped, I’d say ;)): http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/12/moxie-talk-go-to-gal-teri-anderson-is.html
    So anyhow, this above post is about how trendy bacon seems to be right now and I thought you might like it 🙂
    Best wishes from Germany!

  8. I have to say that I really hate the new WW points system. The end.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve tried ww about 4 times since they’ve been online, and I fail every time. Maybe I will try again in combo with my running in the new year.

    Scraping ice off windows sounds annoying

    True Blood is awesome, but I think I haven’t seen it since the first 2 seasons. Maybe I should add it to netflix.

  10. I’m a little weary of the “new” Weight Watchers system. I’m not sure if the new system is truly better or if it’s a marketing scheme to get more members who complained about not having fruit.

    It’s so much easier being fat. My decisions are a lot less complicated.
