Party Boy

Wednesday felt like such a long day at work, but thankfully I had some pressing stuff to do so it went faster than it probably could have.

I forgot to go walk a duplex after the tenants moved out and we had to process a security deposit, so I had to zip over to Hutto to go do that. I also had to go to the post office to get Christmas stamps, and to RadioShack to buy a battery for the alarm system. It takes me about 40 minutes just to get to Hutto, so that was a good chunk of my morning gone.

After work I went to dinner with some friends. It was an interesting experience. There were 5 of us, 3 of which were deaf or very hard of hearing, and I was the only one that couldn’t sign.

It kind of reminded me of when I started dating Paco and we would have be with his friends or his family and I was the only person that couldn’t really communicate. I had a good time though.

Thursday I got up early to start my ham cooking, and had planned on getting right back into bed to sleep some more, but once I was up I just decided to stay up… and since I was up I just decided to go ahead and drive on down to my parent’s house and just cook there.

I hadn’t planned on spending so much time there, but I ended up being there from 8:40 to almost 6. Had fun playing Jenga and Uno with the family and got to spend some quality time with my newest nephew. You know how much I like babies!

Thursday night I went out to OCH and Rain and saw a bunch of my friends from the Rusty Spur. I stayed out way too late, but I was very good about not having more than two drinks. I saw my friend Eli entering the amateur strip contest and he won. That was kind of funny/weird to see him like that.

Friday I spent most of the day sleeping. I love sleeping in! It’s even nicer when it’s chilly. I could lay in bed all day. I just need someone to bring me food and drinks to the bed and I’d be in heaven.

I weighed myself around 1pm and I was in disbelief and SUPER EXCITED when I saw the digits. I weighed in at 178! I haven’t weighed that much in a LONG LONG time. About a month ago I was at 189! I’m steadily losing weight and it’s fantastic. My goal is to be at 175, which I haven’t been at since my early twenties.

Friday night I went out again, I have to take advantage of this four day holiday weekend! I went to the Rusty Spur early to enter the Mr. Rusty Spur contest. It was quite like I expected. First of all, I found out that I didn’t have to go early, and secondly it’s kind of weird how it works. You have to get a number and then you have to go ask people to fill out a ballet to vote for you. BLEH. That is way too much work. I’m not going to walk around begging people to vote for me, and I don’t think enough people know what’s going on to just vote on their own, so NEVERMIND. I really didn’t want to win the cruise anyway, I was only in it for the Mr. Rusty Spurs belt buckle.

My new friend John came out to see the Rusty Spur because he had never been. He’s completely deaf, but is very good at reading lips. He was fun to hang out with, but the Spur wasn’t exactly happening, so we ditched at about midnight and went over to Rain.

Rain was packed and I was getting hit on like crazy. I haven’t been hit on, grabbed and groped like that since my early twenties. I’m aware that the majority of the interest is because I had a cowboy hat on. I got called Tim McGraw a ton of times, and even Tim McGraw’s little brother.

Today I had lunch with Jorge at Texas Roadhouse. I was kind of celebrating my weight loss and rewarding myself with a very unhealthy meal that I have been craving for months; the Chicken Critters, steak fries, mashed potatoes and cream gravy… with extra gravy. I could only eat half of it, so I’ll be having it again tomorrow for lunch.

Once I’m down to my ideal weight, I’ll start working more on flattening out the tummy. I’ve been doing abdominal exercises and weights, but it’ll be so much easier when there isn’t as much fat to get through. lol

I’m going out again tonight. I was having MAJOR wardrobe issues. I changed 7 or 8 times trying to figure out what to wear. I finally settled on a shirt I haven’t worn in a couple of years… cuz it was too small.

Oh I got my Christmas decorations while I was at my parent’s on Thursday! I unpacked it all today and that wore me out and seeing it all out in the living room was a little overwhelming so I stopped there. I need to put it all up, but I just couldn’t see tackling it all today. I’ll try again tomorrow. I should have just opened one box (I have 8) at a time and put that stuff up… baby steps.

Ok, I think I’ve run out of things to say now.
