The Tuesday Random

It feels like all I do is ramble randomly on the ol’ blog these days, but that’s just the way she goes, I guess.

Here I go again!

• Tuesday mornings are when I do my official weigh-ins, and as of this morning, I had lost 28.2 lbs from what I weighed on my Day 1, January 7, 2013.  My initial goal of losing 30 lbs. is looming… Will I have accomplished my “30 Before 30  Project” by this time next week???  Fingers are crossed!
• I’ve been digging out my smaller-sized clothes over the past few weeks, and finally starting to feel comfortable in them again.  Phewf!
• Yesterday, I did a little shopping at Old Navy with Lindsay, and my goal was to pick up some new work-out clothing.  Aside from my uniform, I spend more time in Old Navy Activewear than anything else, and a lot of it was starting to get too big on me.  It was a real treat to buy some better-fitting yoga capris, tees, and my favourite – the compression jackets!  I also picked up a few new pairs of pants for work, since my old ones are getting pretty sloppy-looking, and I was super-excited to purchase one pair that was TWO sizes smaller than the current pants I’d been wearing!  Woop woop!!

• After hitting up Old Navy, Linds asked if I minded heading down a few doors to the Jacob Outlet store.  I said sure, of course, even though Jacob is a store I never go into because I just don’t fit into their clothing.  Yet, once we were in the store, a short-sleeved pink knit cardigan caught my eye, and so I dug out the largest size they had and tried it on… and it fit!!!  And I loved it!!!  And it was on sale!!!  :)
• OK.  So.  I’ve just gone, like, what, 5 whole minutes without mentioning Prison Break??  I didn’t think I could do it.
• There was a REAL attempted prison break in St. Jerome, Quebec, a few hours away from where I live.  Like, a serious one.  These guys hi-jacked a helicopter, flew over the prison, dropped a rope, and two inmates climbed up it and they took off.  When I heard it on the news yesterday morning, I got all excited about it.  And then I was sad to hear they got caught.  You know something’s wrong whennnn… You end up ROOTING for REAL LIFE CRIMINALS to ESCAPE FROM PRISON.  Too.much.Prison.Break.  !!!!

• I argued with my mom and my sister this morning that maybe these guys were NICE, like most of the Prison Break characters.  Lincoln was framed; Michael fired a gun in a bank to get into the prison to break his innocent brother out; Sucre was incarcerated for a minor convenience store robbery (he just needed money to buy a ring for his girlfriend); Tweener was in there because he stole a little ol’ baseball card.  They weren’t really bad guys!   So maybe these guys who tried to break out in St. Jerome were nice guys too!  My sister’s reply:  “It was a TV show, Jill.  Of course they were all innocent.”
• On the weekend, I changed the wallpaper photo on my Blackberry from a picture of my nieces and nephew to this:

• And then I got concerned for myself.  For real.
• I’m going to try to restrain myself from any further Prison Break talk today, other than to say this:  Something bad is going to happen.  I just know.  I can feel it.  I’m a few episodes into the final season now, and I’m starting to get very panicky.  This isn’t going to end well for Michael, is it, guys?  Is it???
• One of my most favourite pictures recently is this one, that our minister Nancy sent to me this morning.  She took this picture of my niece Danica and I on Saturday at the Irish Tea at our church!  Thank you, Nancy!!

• One year ago today, my mom and I had lunch on her patio because it was so beautiful out.  As I recall, the temperature was in the mid-20’s, the snow was all gone, and it was a gorgeous sunny day.  Today?  Well, I don’t think we got as much snow as they were forecasting for our area, but we have some fresh new powder on the ground, and temps are hovering around freezing.  What a difference a year can make, huh?

I seriously have nothing else to talk about other than Prison Break, and I know that nobody cares about it but me, so I’ll wrap this up before I start talking about it again. ;)

Linking up today for Talk To Us Tuesday with Impulsive Addict and Shawn.  Also joining in with Stacy Uncorked for Random Tuesday!
