Simply me
Movie Day
I finally did it, I broke down and watched the remake of Red Dawn, ok, so it was to watch Thor in action while he is busy filming another, well Thor movie. It was not as bad as I expected it to be, if you take it for what it is, then it was enjoyable. While it did not inspire me to randomly yell Wolverines, the way the first one does, I did not hate it.
Today will be spent seeing Oz with the Irishman, very excited about that, although it will be hard going to the movies and not getting a diet coke. I am down two weeks and have not broken once. I think if I can keep this up for another 2 weeks it will become habit, after that smooth sailing.
You know, watching Thor in a different movie makes me want to watch Thor and The Avengers again, I am sensing a theme to my weekend.
Next week is my last week on my current schedule, I shall miss having three days off in a row, however, working two days on, one day off then two days of work then two days off doesn’t suck. It’s ok if you want to be jealous that I can actually have three days off in the week.
I was sick all last week, I am now feeling a little better, still kinda run down and tired, however that could be due to the fact that I have rested too much. On the other hand I don’t want to over do it and become sick again, ugh, the vicious cycle. I still don’t understand why I could have had a glamorous illness after 16 months of sick free. Upper respiratory was the best my body could come up with. Simply not cool.
Off I go to dress for my movie date with the Irishman, what to wear, what to wear. That is the question of the day.
BBFF
I have taken some time off because I have been as sick as the proverbial dog, I am doing better this morning, although now I have no voice. Good thing I don’t have to talk for this part of my life.
This is a little late in coming, however, I would like to tell you all about the Conversations show that aired last Saturday. It was part 2 of Can Men and Women be Just Friends, without the romance part getting in the way. As the majority of you know, my best friend is male, we have been best friends for 15 years now. And yes, it has always been friendship, none of the other stuff getting in the way. I knew our relationship was special, because it is a great friendship, I didn’t realize it was unique until we started talking about it to, well, all of you. To me it is a normal, healthy, friendship, early on we both realized what a special friendship we had and decided none of the other stuff was ever going to come into play.
If you want to hear his take on the friendship you can listen via mine and Shanon J’s website convosate.com, the show is up and ready for you to click.
I started thinking about the legacy he and I are leaving for our respective children, my daughter has a BBFF (boy best friend forever) as well. They have been friends for years, since high school, their friendship continues today. I feel proud that I set an example that men and women can be simply friends. She has seen this growing up and it is normal for her.
Now my BBFF has a son, and he is setting an example for his son that he can have these types of friendships without anything else going on. It is a unconscious happening, something that they just see and take as normal.
It should be the norm, not the exception, however, I am learning it is not. I was speaking with a man at work about it and he said he was interested in listening to the show. He went on to say he has tried to be friends with women and they always go off in the direction of oh he’s paying attention to me, oh he must like me.
The thing is, if you want to be friends with someone of the opposite sex, you must have the conversation, the open, honest one, where both parties agree that the friendship is more important than anything else. We have never once been inappropriate with each other, our lives are transparent, anyone can look in at any time and see what is going on. I am proud to call this man my friend, he is honest, caring, honorable (a trait that is quickly fading in this society) good-looking, incredibly intelligent (he keeps me on my toes) and funny. Oh he’s single as well ladies, his sister and I are taking applications, you have to go through both of us for approval.
So, go out, look for friendship, your lives will be richer for it.
Weight Loss
So today is Monday, after a very busy weekend, I find that I need a few days to recover, well that is not going to happen. So here I am, up, awake, ready to make the money, drinking coffee, waking up. I think being around sick people has finally infected me, I woke up stuffy with a scratchy throat, I am not happy.
I have avoided being sick for over a year, one year and 4 months to be exact, why me, why now! I put a double dose of honey in my coffee, hopefully that will help. Other than that I am doing well, cravings are gone for sugar, for now, I think by eating natural sugars that has been a huge help. I do need to go at lunch and get some fruit; I did not have time to stop on the way to work this morning. So yogurts for breakfast, at lunch go get fruit and stay on my new life changing way of eating.
I weighed this morning and I have lost 4.5 pounds, not bad, especially since I don’t exercise, so life is all good. This will be short as I am starving and must fight the hunger until I can find fruit.
