Saturday Spotlight - Under The Boardwalk

Atlantic City!

Which is where I will be today!
My slot machine addiction will be fed
as will my tummy at the Borgata buffet!

Saturday Spotlight

Yesterday while I was at Walgreens, I saw a couple of teenage guys standing around the empty checkout counter - pointing and giggling. Like apes drawn to a monolith, a couple of their friends joined them and the the laughter got louder. My curiosity got the best of me and I had to see what they were so totally enthralled with. It was this.... I have to admit - it made me laugh also. While I know that it is designed for babies and diaper rash - my first thought was two cheeks stuck together.

In late July 2005, I came across an old work folder that contained a copy of the original Weight Watchers points sytem. I really needed to drop about 30 lbs and I guess that was the perfect sign that it was the right time to get started. At just about 5' 9", I'm tall, so I carried the extra weight fairly well, but definitely did not feel good about myself. By late October I had reached my goal weight and was very proud of keeping my promise to myself. I felt and looked great.

I kept all of it off for well over a year and a half - but a couple of weeks ago, I realized that slowly some of the weight crept back. Not a lot, but enough for me to start the plan again. I did just that about a week and a half ago and I have dropped 3 lbs. One of the keys is that you must write everything down. The visual is what keeps you on track.

After some great alternate food suggestions from a friend, I have incorporated some different things into my diet and expanded my circle of choices. I am now eating even healthier than I did during the initial effort.

Part of what this program instilled in me is the capability to realize when my eating habits change and why. Invaluable - and not just physically. It makes it easy to go back to it and maintain when I need to.

I have several friends that are on (and off) the program with different amounts to lose and maintain, and they have all been successful.

Dynamic Duo

QuentinTarantino &
Robert Rodriguez

Each uniquely and supremely talented in their own right.... but put these two together and you get GRINDHOUSE - a 3 hour marathon of gore, sleaze, brilliant writing and all around great visual fun. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun at the movies.

Divalicious - Love to love her baby...

Donna Summer

1978 - at her absolute best, Donna released "Live and More". It played non-stop on my stereo for years... If I had to have a voice other than my own - it would be hers. Sultry, powerful, unique, sexy, full of attitude and seriously soulful. To this day, no one compares - at least for me. I still have the album. As a matter of fact, I still have my old a stereo system with a turntable... (bought at The Wiz) finding a needle for it would be an interesting endeavor.

Speaking of The Wiz... she would be outstanding as Glinda the Good. I definitely think she could pull it off. Having her play Evillene would be incredible too :-)

Tom Everett Scott

Movies, TV and Broadway - he does it all

I, like a lot of people took notice of him after seeing him in "That Thing You Do". However, his stint on ER really showed the depth he is capable of. I was elated when he came to Broadway earler this year in "The Little Dog Laughed". He was truly outstanding as a famous closeted movie actor who develops an unexpected relationship with a rent boy and the effect it has on his life and career.

I definitely look forward to seeing more of this talented man.
