No day but today

So I went to Pittsburgh on Saturday to see RENT. I must say that this show was even better than the Cleveland show in a lot of ways. The best part is that even though it was a matinee, there was time between the shows was a few hours so some of the cast came out to sign autographs. My all time favorite character is Mark Cohen. He is played by Anthony Rapp. Anthony was the first out of the doors to sign. Yay :) He signed my program and we even spoke for a brief moment. Love that man. The man who played Benny and the woman who played Maureen also came out to sign. Sadly, that was all. But I'm so happy I got what I got.

Onto other fronts.

I am officially down a pants size and that makes me very happy. I need to start going to the gym more often but I just tend to go for a while and then slow down, and then go a ton again. I've been doing good on the diet front and to be honest, I'm glad I got the motivation to do this. I feel damn good overall.

Another week starts tomorrow... weekends never seem long enough.

I'm sure I have more to say, but at the moment I'm at a loss.

Adventures in candy making.

I decided that this year I would make chocolate covered pretzels for my co-workers. Put some in festive little bags, tie a ribbon and an ornament onto the bag and viola!

Yeah... five hours later we were done.

My mom helped me... our idea was great but we didn't use the confectioners chocolate because of price so we used Nestle morsels... they melt too thickly to make using them for twisty pretzels any good. Decided to ditch what we had and use sourdough nuggets. THAT worked well :) Sprinkled them all with pretty sprinkles and they are done.

So are the stockings for my kiddos. I got my gifts for my co-teacher - Jenna, her son - Alexander, and Mike done and wrapped up for tomorrow. I have to wrap gifts for the rest of the family, most likely on Thursday night when I may have some time.

Going to Wal-Mart in a bit to get a few last minute things (gift tags, soda, etc).

I've been working to get debts paid off. Seriously a pain in the ass but obviously needs to get done now that I can afford it. Stupid school and medical related stuff.

I think I may join Curves... with my body issues I think I'd be more comfortable at a gym just for women, and I can deal with the hours they are open even if they are a bit wonky. We'll see though once I get ahold of them and go in to see the place, etc.

For now, it's time to find my hoodie and shoes and get ready for more errands.
