Well, thank God I didn't bother to re-set the stupid clock.

Because the power went out again this morning.  What up APS?  You trying to burn down the hood?  Or just preparing us for power loss every time a breeze comes through during mosoon season? 

Before today's black out I washed the car with the new brush.  SWEET.  It really does reach the middle of the sun roof!  And, although some of the burnt-on bird poopage was stubborn, it did a beautimous job on the basic dirt and dust all over my car.  My car looked so nice that I decided to buff out the smears I got on it by ramming into my own plant urns in the driveway.  ("Here she comes, here comes Speed Racer....")  And then I was gonna touch up the paint chips, but my ten-year old touch up auto paint was dead.  So then I had to spend like two hours tracking down more touch up paint (plus primer and clear coat, natch) and some plastic paint for the driver's door control area that's all scratched up....And 50 bucks later, I'm waiting for more sh!t to store and another project that won't get done for weeks, months, or years, depending.  Hopefully I'll hop right on this one, because I'm enjoying the new car cleaning toys -- still waiting for the new sponge, squeegees, no rinse wash, grit guard, and the replacement Mr. Clean Auto Dry system, since mine frickin' soaked me today (oh, plus I need a new hose).  So maybe I'll still be playin with the car washing stuff when the paint arrives and it will all get done.

The weight loss has been quite a struggle this week.  I've still got skin issues that make me not want to work out.  That and I'd rather watch the Crazy B!tches with a glass of champagne.  Plus I didn't totally rid myself of the bad food this week -- I had chips and dip for dinner one night.  Probably not good.  And lots of frozen yogurt (I found a really large tub of fat free, so duh).  And there was some other bad stuff in there somewhere.  My new plan is to have a glass of V8 every time I want to snack.  That's worked great for like 6 hours so far, so I figure I'm set for life with my new V8 diet.  Okay, I'ma go weigh in...115.6.  So V8 it is.  I'll be going to Safeway for like ten gallons for the weekend.  Enjoy yours.
