The Long Ramble: "Straight" Florists, Dieting, Coach Leather and Pre Calculus

[guywithmonsters]

I've been on Weight Watchers for about a week and a half and have lost almost 10 lbs. The sucky thing is that I mistyped my start weight so my tracker is off by the 10 lbs. LOL

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good about myself today. I walked on the treadmill for an hour yesterday. Today I'm assembling my weight bench (the heaters are on in the basement now warming it up).

School is going OK. I seem to grasp what's going on in class but the book is terribly confusing. I'm holding off on homework until I see the tutor again on Tuesday.

Monday is our 2 year anniversary! I ordered flowers for Mr bear - he'll get them at work. I need ot find a decent gay friendly florist around here. The guy actually wanted to "make sure" I was sending flowers " to a man, RIGHT?". So to him I would like to say

"Dude, you working at a fucking FLORIST SHOP. Don't get all machismo on me, you fucking closet case homo-phobe. Forcing your girlfriend to take it from behind and not kissing the boys at the rest stop DO NOT MAKE YOU STRAIGHT."

Wow, that felt good. I'm much better now....

I want to get Mr Bear a leather checkbook cover but the Coach by us didn't have any. It's not really romantic but he's mentioned wanting one twice since I gave him the wallet for Christmas. I figure the roses make up for the lack of romance.

We looked at cars yesterday. We're both getting new ones. mine is starting to fight the long commute and I dread getting stuck on the Parkway. Part of me wants to take my bonus and tax return and put it down on the car. part of me says just pay everything else off so I have one bill. Decisions, decisions...

Anyway, I'm off to set up my weight set so I can get all buff and stuff.
