Long time, no post!

Wow, am I ever lazy - blogger-wise.

Work has been keeping me really busy lately, I've been having to stay late quite a bit, just to get my work done; can't win, either I'm bored out of my skull, or I'm crazy busy. I've also been training someone for the last 6 weeks, so that's starting to get to me, I'm definitely not as productive/efficient as I normally would be.

Good news: I got my $150 prize from my girls at work - woohoo! My suit is finally paid for....

Thankfully, my suit is fitting a lot better now too; my last weigh in was a svelte 138! I haven't been 130 anything for about 4 years...THAT was a really great feeling, even better than when I hit the 140's. 138 is also 30 pounds lost for me, which feels like a pretty freakin' good too!

That's about all I have to say for now, I'm going to go and update my virtual model :).

Got Balls?

Don't want to offend anyone out in blogland, but I sure don't have any. Why, you might ask? Because we had the final weigh in for our work challenge a month ago, and I still don't have my money yet!

I have e-mailed both of the girls once, in addition to asking them once in person when they were gonna pony up. Nothing. One of the girls is always broke, and the other really doesn't have a reason for not paying, I think she's just oblivious to the fact that I actually expect to be paid.

This is starting to upset me, because if the tables were turned, they would have had their money from me as soon as they stepped off the scale for the last time; I just don't understand why people would buy into a bet that they can't buy themselves out of if they lose; you should never be too confident :).

Any ideas on how I can get these two to pay up?

Back to work...

The days leading up to my return to work were agonizing, I DID NOT want to go back; I want to retire :P. Once I got back to work, everything was fine, a couple of the girls in the branch decorated my office with streamers, wedding bells, and balloons, I've left them up all week. The girls had also planned a pot luck breakfast for the morning that I came back, which was awesome, everybody pretended that they didn't have a bazillion things to do and had breakfast together.

Everybody in the branch put in some money and got a few gifts too, it was like a wedding shower! They got us a king sized light blue serasoft blanket (sooooo soft!), some hand towels and face clothes to finish our set, and some cute Christmas candle holders. How nice is that? On the days that I hate my job and want to run away, I'll just have to remember what awesome people I work with, that was too sweet of them.

Still no professional pictures yet, but they will be posted when we get them!
