I finally had a big beautiful salad, loaded with lettuce, tomato, red onion, radishes and cucumbers with 3 oz of grilled chicken.  It was heaven, and the best part???   I was able to keep it down.  That is the first lettuce since my surgery that I have been able to keep down.  It was truly glorious :)  Heavenly!  Divine!  Not to mention just fookin delicious :)  

DH and I went to the show on Saturday night, actually we went to TWO shows on Sat night..OMG.  I worked a 14 hour shift on Friday, slept for about 4 hours when I got home and then we went to town to buy an air conditioning unit for the living room.   We decided since we were in town that we would take in a movie, well I wanted to see, “what happens in Vegas”   DH wanted to see Indiana Jones.   So we compromised…we saw both!  I was so tired after the first movie but WTF, I promised….And it was fun.   My diet was not so good that night thou as I did have a hot dog at the movies and popcorn, but only once.  I did not have anything at the second movie.  And the rest of my weekend was good diet wise so I really cannot complain.  

My DH and I live on the island of Kauai, we live on the west side, which is the dry hot side.  We have been here since 2005 when we moved from Oahu.   We have no a/c except in the bedroom, which is vital as I work nights and there is not a hope in hell I would sleep in the heat of the day.  We cool the rest of the house with ceiling fans, and if we are lucky good trade winds.  None of our windows are solid panes, they are all louver window, which is the norm here because of the trades being used to cool.   WELL, our fookin house is so hot, it is uncomfortable and miserable.  My damn makeup melts before I can finish putting it on when I try to get ready for work.  Not to mention my poor new fish tank almost boiled my fish!!!   So we decided to break down and buy an a/c for the living room.   The power here is very expensive and we are dreading the extra cost but we did use it for a bit today and it was great.   We are not going to use it daily but just sparingly.  Our power bill is already 400 a month and that is for just two people.  Of course DH works from home so he always has his TV on and his computers and fans etc.   So that adds to the power bill for sure.   We won’t have to use it during the day as I am sleeping and we have the small one in the bedroom and DH is out in his office, so mainly it will be for my days off or for cooling the house in the early evening while I get ready for work, we don’t need it at night at all.   I am still scared to see the power bill.  DH say it will not be any worse than running 5 fans for the entire day like we do now.   We’ll see.

As you all know I have bitched and belly ached about my hatred of exercise.  And as you all know that I walk, and I walk a lot at work.  I do wear a pedometer and that is how I know how far I walk, it doesn’t count steps thou and that would be cool.   I think if I was to exercise, I would love to jog.   But the vision of all the flab and the pouchy stomach flopping around, and my thighs whistling as a run kinda is a real turn off for me.   I can just see my stomach bouncing up and down, and my boobs flopping, and my HUGE ass causing hurricane force winds as a pass someone………….BUT……….I think I would like to learn how to jog.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start?  Remember I hate walking, but I am sure that is where I have to start.  How do I get started on jogging?  Just run, or do I start slowly, or do I push for a mile or what?  What if I have a fookin heart attack?   What if someone else does just watching me run?   WTF, I know CPR :)
