![]() Last night I set my alarm for 4:45am - and actually got up this morning. Whoa. I'm kinda proud of me. I've just started going back to the gym after a self imposed hiatus (fancy way to say I got real lazy). Not only did I get up, I actually went to the gym, AND worked out. Yeah, I know, it's isn't for very long...but I did it! ![]() I pretty much eat the same breakfast everyday. I like it, it's tasty, and starting my day with coffee and a breakfast taco makes me incredibly happy. Egg white omelet with spinach, mushrooms, turkey sausage crumbles, pico, and cheese on a gluten free tortilla. 4 FSP ![]() Until I started typing this, I had no idea I'm more of a creature of habit than I assumed. I keep my snack pretty simple and grab a yogurt everyday. Today I chose toasted coconut. 2 FSP ![]() Dinner needed to be quick since we were heading to Longwood Gardens tonight, so Wendy's it is. The large chili is only 4 FSP, filling, and really tasty. Not a bad choice for dinner on the run. ![]() We only spent a couple of hours at Longwood Gardens, but managed to put in some serious steps! Today wound up being a good day, even if it was a bit hectic.

Instead of online dating, could someone just email me a few inappropriate comments daily? It would save me time and energy.
Maybe it's my fault. I never did research into online dating. I talked to friends, and figured it was worth a try since I'm just not meeting anyone in my age group. Maybe I should've invested in a professional to assist me in writing a dating profile that attracts the "right" kind of guys. (Did you know that is a thing? People get paid to write dating profiles.) But what exactly does that mean? The right kind of guys? I didn't think I was that picky. I sat down with a pad of paper and listed the qualities that I was looking for in a potential partner. Then I promptly tore it up and cursed at myself for needing to make a shopping list of what I want. An hour later I sat down to make the list. What I'm looking for. Hmmm. He must be employed. That's a given. Do I care what he does for a living? No, as long as it's not illegal and pays the bills. I'd rather meet a guy that isn't living paycheck to paycheck, and isn't deeply in debt. He cannot be a smoker (I have no issues with the occasional cigar), not a heavy drinker, and cannot have a gambling problem. Okay, I'm on a roll now! Do I care about height? Not really. I never thought about it. Do I care about weight? A little. I like a "dad bod" kind of physique, but a little more on either side of the spectrum isn't a deal breaker. Dude, I'm rocking this list. Okay, now hair. I just don't care. I prefer bald, but it's not my hair so who am I to judge? Facial hair? Sure. I like a beard, and a cool mustache, but again, not a deal breaker. He should dress well, but not GQ (I cannot afford to keep up with a GQ kind of guy). He should have interests, but do I really care what they are? A little. Would like to meet a guy that likes sports, some outdoor things (kayaking, hiking) and dancing once in a while. He can't be wanted by any police, CIA, or the FBI. Um... that's about it. Now my turn. I need to tell all about me. I tried two different approaches. Why? Because the first attempt was a colossal failure, so I needed to rethink the entire thing and then tried again. First, I made a very long and detailed profile. I added the maximum amount of recent pictures of me. I spent time creating a profile that showed much about myself, likes and dislikes, and even tried to convey my personality. (As much as one can in a dating profile). I stressed I'm looking for a relationship kind of thing eventually, but want to date first. No hookups. I was raw, honest, funny, and open to meet in a public place immediately. This profile earned me more inappropriate responses than I thought humanly possible. You have no idea the amount of crazy I seem to attract. I did meet a few guys that seemed perfect on paper, but meeting them was an entirely different experience. Every single guy I met, or spoke to online, asked me for sex immediately. IMMEDIATELY. After a month of this, I shut down my profile and avoided the computer for months. After talking with friends about it, I agreed to try again. This time I made a profile with far less information. Far less. Results: the exact same. I've now come to the conclusion that online dating isn't inherently evil or bad, it's just men in my area that are over 40. The Internet straight up freaked out over this menacing satellite image of Hurricane Matthew, which looks like a human skull with a toothy grin.
On May 25, 1977, in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars premiered in theaters.
Directed by George Lucas, the sci-fi spectacle was an immediate commercial and critical success, garnering rave reviews and earning nearly $200 million at the box office in 1977. "Star Wars taps the pulp fantasies buried in our memories, and because it's done so brilliantly, it reactivates old thrills, fears, and exhilarations we thought we'd abandoned when we read our last copy of Amazing Stories," film critic Roger Ebert wrote in his review in 1977. "Here, all mixed together, were whimsy and fantasy, simple wonderment and quietly sophisticated storytelling." The success of Star Wars was unprecedented, spawning the the blockbuster sequels The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 and Return of the Jedi in 1983, as well as prequel films and the recent Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. Star Wars'popularity wasn't limited to just the silver screen, though: George Lucas' space saga expanded into TV shows, video games, toys, books and more throughout the decades, with fans' devotion to the series never slowing down.
The trailer for "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," the first spinoff film in the "Star Wars" film franchise, debuted on ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday.
With the brief teaser, Disney gave fans the first glimpse of the new "Star Wars" film starring Felicity Jones. It takes place in the universe of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. But "Rogue One" is a bit different than your average "Star Wars" film. The film is a spinoff rather than a continuation of the space saga involving the Skywalker family. It hits theaters December 16 and is set just before the plot of the 1977 "Star Wars" and follows a group of rebels trying to steal plans to the Death Star. The trailer starts with hints of John Williams' famous score, while introducing a war-weary rebellion and Jones' reckless and aggressive main character. "This is a rebellion, isn't it?" Jones' character asks. "I rebel." "Rogue One" looks to rack up a big box office, but from the looks of the trailer, it appears to be darker than what fans are used to. This would stay in line with director Gareth Edwards' description of "Rogue One" as a war film. The spinoff is the first "Star Wars" film to be released by Disney since December's hugely successful "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." A crime suspect thrown in the cells of a police station has posted a TripAdvisor-style review of his stay. Christian Willoughby was locked up in Grimsby police station, Lincolnshire for what he described as a 'misdemeanor'. But after managing to sneak his phone into the cells, he took photos and posted his thoughts of the cell on Facebook.
Friends asked Willoughby how he had managed to take photos and he replied that it was on 'an iPad'. Humberside Police are treating the incident as a security breach and say they are investigating. Chief Inspector James Glansfield said: 'The force are aware of pictures apparently of the Grimsby Custody Suite on social media. 'These appear to have be taken by a prisoner while in custody on Wednesday 9 March. 'We take any such breach of security and detainee safety extremely seriously and will be carrying out a review of our detainee management to identify any lessons learned and prevent further reoccurrences in the future. 'The forces Professional Standards Branch are investigating the circumstances of the incident.' Bella and her Brazilian jaguar buddy, Juma, bring you this morning's awww moment. ![]() Headache is worse than ever. Decided to go to the ER because I felt like ripping the damn thing off my shoulders. Young cute doctor said I'm dangerously dehydrated. I ask if he can make me feel better by pumping stuff in me. I stumble and tried again. Said I meant, can he fill me up with fluids. Nurse bursts out laughing and I said yeah, that's what she said. Poor doctor couldn't flee fast enough. Oh, I did get the IV fluids. |
