Comcast, Joe, and Harry Potter

Jon invited me to go see the new Harry Potter flick with him last night. I left work, attempted to return my DVR, for the 2nd time, and was unable to, again. I asked this time for a phone number to the office I could call and was given an 888 number. (I called this morning, it gave a different number and that number only gives a fast busy signal!) I'm getting so fed up with this whole process. As I write this post, I'm on hold to the Comcast office. I just want to know if there is a box available before I drive all the way out there again to be told they don't have them, again.

But I digress. I hit Panera (for some reason I felt I earned it) and headed home. I went directly downstairs, and attempted to nap so I'd e wide awake for the movie. No such luck. The parent's were home, which meant the big screen and all the surround sound was on directly above my bed. I had the brilliant idea of putting in my earbuds so it would block some of the noise and held my phone in my hand, close to my head so I'd still feel it vibrate, or hear it go off. Every time I would drift off to sleep, however, I would get a text msg, "you going to see HP?" "Urly going @ midnite?" etc, etc. Finally, I got one from John at about 8 asking what I was doing. I told him I was giving up on sleep and he asked me to join him at One World.

I got dressed, a little cuter than normal. I put on the nice jeans and a white top with a v-neck and collar. I met up with John and I read a couple pages of Blood Bound while he attempted to do his homework. A tallish guy with long flaming red hair sat down at the bar not far from us. I tried not to take notice of him as John and I conversed and laughed over our appetizers and drinks. I kept catching him looking at me. Every time I would look up, I'd see him out of the corner of my eye watching me talk and laugh. It was kinda cute and kinda odd, lol. He did join the conversation a couple of times. Once when we were talking about the Mystery Machine and once when we were talking about height. Finally, after several more awkward glances, I asked him to join us. He declined to sit at the table as he was almost finished w/his beer, but he did talk to us, well, me. ^_^ We talked for about an hour, I'd guess. He seems like a pretty cool dude, so we exchanged numbers as John and I left for the movie.

I'm diggin the new Harry Potter flick. Not too give anything away, but it was the closest representation of any of the novels so far. The only thing I lamented losing was the fight scene in the halls of Hogwarts. Other than that, it was a great film. I'll most likely watch it again with Sam, while it is theaters, and will definitely buy it when it comes out.


::Update on the Comcast situation:: Just got off the phone with them, after 20 minutes of "we have no phone number for them" bullshit, they are sending a technician free of charge to the house tomorrow between 10 and 12. Thank fully I already have the day off, so it's not putting me out, but DAMN!!! That man made me so angry!

Ok, Starting this diet thing again. I was supposed to start on Monday, but you know, shit happens. As much as it sucks, I do use food for comfort when I'm stressed and frustrated. This week has been a bit of both. Even as I sit here writing this I'm trying not to freak out about Grandma. I'm going to see her tonight after work. I'll have to call and see what room she's in, as she is starting to get better and according to Mom, everytime she progresses, they move her. It's a good sign that she's getting better quickly. It puts all of us at ease. I'm not ready to lose my grandmother. None of us are.

Jumping back on the diet train today. I ordered some stuff, nothing too crazy, just a cleanse and vitamins for my bottled water. They should be ready to be picked up at Mom and Dad's tonight. That means I'll be starting the diet on a Saturday...kinda odd day to start it, but I'm running out of time. Have to focus on the mundane to not freak about the overwhelming. Good Luck to me and keep praying for Grandma's quick and complete recovery.

Love always,
Jessica

A step inthe right direction

I woke up this morning feeling great. It's payday. That means I'm no longer broke, lol. It also means I could pay all my bills and do some grocery shopping.
On the way to work, I dropped off my last rent check and told my landlady I was moving out at the end of next month. She's sad to see me go, wants me to try and come back if I can, etc. She really is a sweet lady, I know I'll be getting my deposit back. Now that I've dopped it off, it seems like things are finally moving, finally advancing towards me going back to school. I still can't make peace with the fact that I'm moving back in with my parents, but it's a necessary transition, at least for now. I've got an appointment in 2 weeks to schedule classes, I've accepted my aid, and I'm still looking for grants and scholorships to help pay the way. The less I have to work while I'm going to school, the better focused I'll be. I finally feel like things are taking shape, things are starting to look up and I'm headed in the right direction. Now if only I could get my love life in order, I'l be gravy.

Frustration

Weight 176.6
Thighs 15.5 & 26.5
Stomach 39.0
Workout 30 minutes in the morning (so far)

I woke up kinda tired, so I made a deal with myself. If I got on the scale and was under 175, I’d skip the workout this morning. I stepped on the scale and wanted to scream instead. Just yesterday I was 175.8. I worked out twice yesterday, 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes when I got off work. The only change in routine from the last week was that I had pizza for lunch. Could one little please pizza have this much affect on my weight? Ugh…I guess I can’t cheat at all or I screw up all my hard work. I can’t screw this up. I’m tired of looking like this, I’ve got a goal and I’ve got to get there soon or I’m going to start getting depressed again.

I love my munchkins

How I'm spending the night.
