My First Blog

Holey Moley! My first blog. My biggest fear when I first set up this blog was that it would be my outlet for venting all of my frustrations (which unfortunately are many). Hopefully that won't be the case.

My sister and I have started a competition where we see who can go longest without sweets. Sweets is defined as candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, soda, donuts, etc... Al tried to get away with a cookies and creme "energy" bar that was "soooo good." Um, no. If it's that enjoyable, keep it out of your mouth. That's the bottom line I believe. We've both held strong for a month now. Al asked me a week ago, "What if this goes until CHRISTMAS?!" Believe you me. That same exact thought crossed my mind. But I couldn't let her smell my fear. "So be it" was my reply. I'm a hardball like that. The winner gets a measly t-shirt of her choice from the loser, er, weaker opponent. Kind of a lame prize for the self-control required. If it does end up going until Christmas, we'll have to up the ante.

Speaking of ante, I've never understood the game of poker. Never had the desire really. Which reminds me of the dumbest, most pointless movie ever made. I don't even remember the title of it, but it had the word luck in it and Drew Barrymore was a main character. Wow. I've never wanted to demand a movie ticket refund until this movie. The whole movie was Drew Barrymore tagging along with this gambling addict who had some sort of vendetta against his dad whom is a world-reknown poker champ. Apparently the director of this movie thought that people who love poker AND chick flicks was a large target market. Boy was he/she mistaken.

There I go venting. Ugh. There's my cue to go to bed and wake up on the happier side of it.
