Morning Radio Shows:
Hmmmm, did I listen to the radio this morning? My brain can’t remember anything right now.
Have this massive headache. Cold is now in my head. Medicine is just not seeming to cover it. Feel sort of like I’m floating above my head wondering whats going on today.
Weekend Plans. Sigh.
I do know I’m trying not to think about everything going on this weekend. Soon I’m headed to my niece’s graduation and then running back to work. After work I’ve got to find one of those make your tummy look not as fat kind of things for my dress I’m wearing to the double wedding tomorrow. Then I’ve got to do laundry and fold the clothes from the last time I did laundry and clean the house. Thankfully Adam has volunteered to help. Then we’ve got to run to Walmart to get him some dress clothes as his are all WAY to big (so proud of him AND jealous)
After the double weddings tomorrow and working out we have my work party. We swore we would do NOTHING Sunday but now his family is having a party. Oh it just makes my head spin how there is always something going on every night and when you do the gym too its no time. I think normally I relish it, but when sick it just feels overwhelming and you run yourself ragged getting sicker and sicker. Can I call my stunt double to take over the weekend? For example cloning. Some people say its against God’s will and all that. Well and I’m not so sure. I mean cloning hearts to save people or whatever, how can that be wrong. But also, think of this………you are tired and sick. You just want to stay home. Send clone to work for you while you catch up on your sleep and get a manicure. Sounds ideal to me so whats the big problem?

11 AM. Graduation. Oh I love my niece, but I wouldn’t exactly say I love graduations, especially since I went to one last night for Joey (Adam’s brother). I teased Adam that they would be the exact same, and they almost were. One of the songs the orchestra played was the same. The top ten advice list the district leaders were the same, even though they were in different districts. Craziness. My favorite part of the graduation is when Max sighed really loud and said "When are they going to stop saying people's names?!!!" Everyone around us heard and laughed really really hard.
Gosh can’t believe Megan all grown up. Graduating and with a boyfriend. Sheesh, it was like she was 3 last week or something. I just love her so much. Can't believe she is quite grown up and quite pretty. Craziness.
There were some moments of entertainment at the graduation.
People throwing oodles of confetti (poor clean-up crew)
One girl having so many leighs around her neck that you couldn’t see her face
The grads playing with beach balls and balloons, despite one of the teachers grabbing and popping any that came her way.
Then were the comments between my dad and a security guard when he tried to go out the VIP exit (because there are less stairs). THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST ENTERTAINING:
“Um sir you can’t go this way.”
“Don’t give me that. I just went this way last week”. (Total utter lie)
“Sir, I said you can’t”
“But I’m bigger than you.”
“Maybe, but I have a whistle”
“Oh whistles don’t scare me, I’m an ex-con”
Good grief dad. He is lucky they didn’t take him away. Jen said it perfectly:
“Dad, you are getting more like Grandma McAffee each and every single day.”
3 PM. Feels like such a long day, even though I haven’t worked the whole time. Wahoo got all the soccer money I need to register our team. Gosh I love soccer! So looking forward to Real game tomorrow at work party.
11 PM. It so has to be time to go to bed! I've done like 8 loads of laundry tonight and we don't even have kids! How is this possible? Was a long night actually. I had a lot of cleaning to do. We did get some vegging in though. Then a late night trip to Walmart. We totally stole a parking spot right up front from someone who had been waiting but Adam said too bad because they were going the wrong way. They honked and honked and I wa afraid for our lives. We live in Taylorsville people. There are gangs here. Luckily the security guys were right there so nothing happened, but I have to admit I kept turning around at the store expectantly, but really at Wal-Mart you should always be on your toes. I drove Adam half crazy taking forever to find him something for his cousin's double wedding tomorrow.

Dear Diary:

347 lbs (wow, 3 pounds less from Friday. I guess the popcorn diet works lol. Actually it really must be absence of Diet Coke. Oh how I miss that drink!)

Food consumed today:
• 3 egg whites
• Cheese
• WW tortilla
• 1 cup mixed berries
• 16 oz Coffee (but only ‘for medicinal purposes’ as my Grandmother used to say)
• Fiber One Bar
• ½ cup Strawberries
• ½ cup cottage cheese
• Microwave Popcorn (at least it was light?)
• Chicken sandwhich on wheat

Morning Radio Shows:
X96:

Angry Bill is hiking with Richie (Mormon producer, closet gay)
“The worst part about this is that not only is the hike with Richie but also with all his Mormon friends.”
“Just be careful. When they get you down to the lake they may try to baptize you.”
Kinda funny I guess.
More whining about how he was not chosen as the ‘Grand Marshall’ of Ogden for the upcoming parade. Oh boo hoo get over it. Maybe they like happy people. (Like me lol)……..definitely time to switch channel…….
101.9 (KUEZ?):
“Don’t forget to watch that show Wipeout that’s on tonight”
“Court you love that show”
“I so do Chelsea. Its one of the best shows, it really is.”
“I just can’t get into that show. It’s the same thing every single episode just with different people.”
“Exactly that’s why I love it”
Hmmm, boring!............switching again……(I mean I must be entertained)

ZHT:
“What is the strangest question you’ve been asked in an interview?”
Oh! I knew it! This proves to be nice and juicy. These guys never disappoint.
“Once I was asked if I was a shape, what shape would I be? I told them I’d be a circle as I’m very well-rounded”
“Nice good one. But I would have said I’m a triangle as I’m so sharp.”
“I was once asked in an interview if I had to kill my grandmother and she was coming at me what part of her would I aim for? I told them her face and I was hired.”
Meh. That’s so made up. Nice try though.
“I was once asked to have sex with the man who interviewed me”
Hmmm, somehow I think that one could be true…….
“I did but I didn’t get the job.”
Well that’s lame. Almost as lame as the fact that I’ve arrived at work!

3:00 PM. Work. Can’t believe how many times I have to pee daily now with water as my only drink. So annoying! BTW, also found out that my poop does in fact NOT float. (I can sleep tonight)

Dear Diary:

Weight unknown (not thrilled to find out after popcorn 2 days in a row and last nights enchiladas and cake)

Food consumed today:
3 egg whites drowned in salsa (uggh these always seem to taste like rubber)
Oatmeal packet, less sugar (missing brown sugar & butter, so basically void of taste)
Strawberries (actually not bad even without sugar and milk)
Fiber One Bar (surprisingly yummy)
1 ½ cups Edamame beans (my favorite veggie ever)
4 ounces Chicken Breast (incredibly old and dry sadly)
½ cup brown rice (I miss butter)
Cheese stick
1 cup strawberries, 1 packet sugar (damn why did I bloody mention sugar)
Health Smoothie
Skinny Cow treat (funny, doesn’t taste like cow)


7:30 AM. My apartment. Uggh, I’m finally getting my butt up. Body is so bloody achy. Still limping from impending shin splint incident. (Curse to that horrible thin girl who kicked me so hard a few games ago) So do not want to go into work anymore. Hate pretending to be my boss. Horribly selfish, but I can’t wait until she comes back from maternity leave!

8:15 AM. Hugging my fiancĂ©e goodbye is so wonderful! Still in shock that I live with a man, that he loves me, and actually wants to marry me. If this is a dream, don’t wake me up! We pass on the kissing as he has an icky cold sore. So sad, because his big soft lips are incredible.
“I love you honey. Have a wonderful day.”
“Love you too. See ya tonight.”

Oh I love that man so much. I see him and it makes me smile. I'm so very happy with him. (Sheesh cheezy)
Oh well must jet to work. Aww the morning drive. Driving isn't my favorite thing to do, but actually don’t mind it as it gives me a chance to listen to my morning shows. Oh I seriously love radio! First I’ll listen to X-96 to see what Bill is yelling about. (this is the station I was on for a couple of days as like the token fat girl which was hilarious and fun. Oh I wish I could do radio seriously or journalism) When its on commercial will flip to ZHT. Sometimes they have callers who call in with really juicy stories like how they are really a prostitute. So made up but makes me giggle.Ugh commercial. Last resort, my former staple is 101.9. I go back and forth between loving and hating their morning show.
“Callers, what is the worst movie ever?”
“I think the worst movie is the Fountain”
“Yeah Hugh Jackman was on the show and even mentioned that he thought people would have a hard time following it”
(So agree, saw that movie and I still have no idea what the hell it was about)
Also 5 male votes for Twilight (typical)
“The worst movie by far is Hope Floats. Its so bad my wife calls it Poop Floats”
“By the way, its not a good thing if your poop floats.”
“Oh ick, I don’t think we should talk about…….”
“Yeah something is wrong with your diet, like too much meat if it actually floats.”
Whatever I like that movie. Hmmm, wonder if my poop floats though. I’ll have to notice today.
Love morning shows.

10:30 AM. Yikes. Long ass day already. Haven’t accomplished anything I needed to do today. Keep getting stuck doing other things. Such is life. Need to go on nice walk and get some steps in and daydream about Adam. …………………oh sheesh is it hot out here!
5:30 PM. Just about to leave work…oh crap (quite literally), I didn’t even notice if it floats or not! …Yikes this traffic is horrible! What on earth is going on? Traffic is the worst and I have absolutely no patience………hmmm stop being negative. Think Pollyanna…….well at least we are moving a little. (I know we are supposed to ask what a higher being would do, but sometimes imaging how Pollyanna would look at the bright side while driving to soccer and not being late makes more sense…..besides does Jesus even play soccer?).
Can’t believe how many compliments I’ve gotten from work this week since I got blonde highlights. I better stop being lazy and actually straighten it most of the time.

6:30 PM. Playing soccer. Nothing better in the world. Sheesh give us a break, can’t it ever stop raining??? Wow we are playing soccer bitch’s team. I’m suddenly very motivated to do even better, even if it does kills my leg. Blast I can't wait until I'm no longer 2-3 times any of them! Would really be easier to keep up with them if I wasn't girlus humungus.

7:30 PM. Wow got compliments that I was holding them off pretty well, and my leg is not totally killing me as I thought it would. Doesn’t feel wonderful, but I’ll survive.

11:05 PM. I’m exhausted. My buddy Leslie played soccer tonight and we went afterwards for a smoothie and ended up talking like old times, catching up. Stayed much later than I planned….at least I got to watch some Bleach (anime series) with my honey.
Goal for tomorrow-work out at night a lot, cardio & my weights workout which I haven’t done forever.

Diet Coke, You are dead to me!

Diet Coca-Cola, a highly addictive and wonderful sugar-free soft drink, was overly sweetened with aspartame earlier this morning. After many attempts, Dr Pepper was unable to save this sugar-free soda.
Diet Coke was born in 1982. This tragic passing took place in Taylorsville, Utah.
This nectar of the Gods was produced and distributed by the Coca-Cola Company and shortly after its release quickly overtook its cousin Tab in sales.
Diet Coke had many rivals, most notably the wicked Diet Pepsi.
She is survived by many similar varieties such as Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla, Diet Raspberry Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon (who sadly is still alive), Diet Cherry Coke, and Diet Coke with Lime.
She was full of life and bubbles and her fizz will be missed by many. Most notably, she will be missed by her #1 fan, Holly McAffee who has refused any other sodas in her stead and will stubbornly stick to water and Crystal Light. Due to her decision of a watery grave, no funeral services will take place, but a moment of silence will be observed each and every morning at precisely 9 AM, and possibly at any other times random cravings may occur.
