Obama continued.... and more

So this is the first thing I see when I walk through the door at work on Wednesday morning. (I took this picture on my phone when no one was watching, wouldn't want to give the wrong impression!) You can only imagine how that started my day.

I work for a company that strongly participates in the union so the support for Obama makes sense. Union workers and democrats go hand in hand. Well, mostly. I am an exception. What I hate though, is that this is being shoved down my throat and it makes me want to puke!!!

Ok, on to other subjects because I could go on and on!! 

Today, I am going to weight watchers for my first weigh in since I joined. Keep your fingers crossed that I actually lost some weight!! Then, I am going to shop. Now, I don't have a lot of money so I am bargain hunting. Not sure what i am looking for either, but I feel the need to spend some $$$! Anyone else ever get that feeling? I used to shop every weekend. Then I had to go and get a boyfriend and it all stopped. It's a new year though so I am combining all the things I did before Eric and I got together with the things I do now. So, shopping, the gym, going out with girlfriends, etc is all starting back up! 

Last night I went out for drinks with a friend. First, I have no idea what to order with this weight watchers diet. I am normally a beer drinker when I get out, but since I was going for the weigh in this morning, I didn't want to get something that would bloat me.  So I went for Grey Goose and cranberry. It is my new favorite cocktail! Of course Allison, my 100 lb friend, has beer and the sampler platter and she will have no worries about putting on a pound! But, the funny thing was that most people in this bar seemed like they had just hit 21 and we felt so old!! Up until we got hit on my the 60 something man in shorts, polo, and those black nike sandals! YUCK and why? And then, you know what he says, "can y'all talk to us? me and my friend over there (he points to a tall skinny 60 something) just want some girls to sit with us." Do we look like escorts/prostitutes??? We declined as politely as we could while we laughed directly in their face. Should I feel bad about embarrassing them?  Hell no! It was quite entertaining! we proceeded to get Eric all riled up through texting about the "hot guys" hitting on us, to the point that he was coming up there. That would have been pretty funny, but it was time to go. I mean it was 10 pm! Past the bedtime!

So maybe things won't be exactly as they used to be but I am thinking the combination could prove to work out in my favor!!
