OMG you guys.

My partner spoiled me SO BAD.  I squeed for hours!  I just... I can't even process the sheer awesome that was in that box.    There were ponies in there I'd literally been after for YEARS!  :D  Partner, I can't thank you enough!!  Also, an entire packet of those candies seems to have "disappeared," and the cats were all in a treat-coma last night.  The Friskies ones are their favorites!  Mr. Skeen claimed the hard candies for himself - he said since he had to listen to the squeeing AND view the opening I owed him that much.  I grudgingly agreed, content with my chocolate and gorgeous ponies, and he popped them like Pez all evening. 

I'll start the brag thread when I have pics to share (because you better believe there are pics!!) but I can't post pics at work.

0 points for Saturday and Sunday!  I was so busy sewing I didn't track anything I ate and did no exercise, unless you count the frantic waving of whatever finger just got pricked with a needle.

Of course.  :)  My husband is very good about indulging my whims, lol!  He'll call me at work to tell me about ebay auctions, and he helped me sort through en entire box of blind bags to look for the few I wanted.  My mother supplied the vast majority of the funds for my collection in the early days (early-mid 90's, when I was too young to have a job) and she still looks for ponies for me when she's out.  Dad found me my very first Sea Pony shell at a flea market at least 15 years ago, and his boss at work sent me a lavender Dream Castle he found while cleaning out his attic (best day at the office ever!). 

Mr. Skeen recently walked into my pony room, announced that he likes Pinkie Pie the best, and could we please watch the new episode over dinner?  Then he wanted to know if such a thing as a cherry changa exists, and if not could I invent one.

I lost again at weigh-in last night!  :)  Stayed within my points and did nothing but haul boxes and heavy files all day at work, so that was my exercise.  I was exhausted and sweaty, so I'm counting it, lol!  2 points for Thursday!

I stayed well within my points yesterday and treated myself to a Coke.  Got all my fruits/veggies, lean meat, and grains.  MIGHT have been a serve under on dairy but I'm not sure how to count skyr, since it takes 3x as much milk to make it as normal yogurt.  I think I even got my oils!  So, one point for me.  Though instead of exercising I sewed all night.

RRRrrr!  Outbid on my ebay auction and now it's over the spending limit.  Back to the drawing board...

I hate auctions set on like 15-day bidding.  :(

Day two: still feeling blah.  I ate half of my Weight Watchers pizza for lunch but wasn't hungry.  Still not hungry.  Have had lots of coffee and tea though!  No juice.  I don't want to waste the points on it when I can eat an orange for 0 points later.  I'll try my workout DVD tonight.

Got one pony, but I'm STILL waiting for the other auctions to end, lol!

Day One:  Sick as a dog!  For breakfast I had a decongestant, a multivitamin, and a few sips of coffee.  I am SO not hungry.

Off Topic / Re: Craziest Cover Letter I have EVER received at my job.
« on: January 27, 2012, 01:13:39 PM »
Can you tell us which kind of job that person was looking for? If it's something creative, like journalism, I'd say well done! The person proves that they know how to write engaging pieces. I've read a few cover letters lately because we were looking for a new part-timer, and none was as interesting as that one.

Surprisingly, the person is a Heavy Equipment Operator and contractor looking for work in the local mines. 

Well then, his/er "horrible" typing skills shouldn't be a problem.  I'd interview him/her!  :)

I have one pony in the mail and on another I'm still waiting for the auction to end.  But I'm winning!  :D

Off Topic / Re: Gamers... Do you play for the trophies/achievements?

Nope.  I play to be playing the game and to be entertained.  I honestly think they're kind of annoying, popping up all the time like that.
