Well, well, well. I found in the news today that QVC is getting sued by the FTC. It seems that they broke the law by selling 'miracle' foods and supplements that they claimed made women lose weight. *GASP* Imagine that.

As if the government hasn't been handing out suger pills and charing $20.00 a pill. HAH!

In any case, I rely on the old stand-by. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. That commercial keeps coming on the tv, for those pills that are for people '50 lbs or more overweight only'. Right there in the ad they say, "You can now lose weight with no diet or excercise necessary." Dream on suckas! I guarantee in five to ten years (if not sooner) something's going to come out that says how those things ruined someone's liver or kidneys. No easy way out........

This, my friends, is what my eyes resemble today. The leftover spooge from last nights' raw bar. Bad news, no contacts for me. Good news, I've officially been given the 'oddball' title AGAIN. The Doc said he'd never seen anyone have anywhere near as much spooge as I have in my eyes. In his words, "You have so much that when I look through the machine, I actually think it's your eye. Then you blink and it all floats away." Lovely. And when do I get the trophy for having one of the ass-crappiest cases of luck in the South?

Fear not, I know it can be much worse. Trust me, the week is young.

I did receive my water workout tape today in the mail. YAHOO!! I'm looking forward to watching it. By the time the pool opens hopefully I'll have the exercises mastered. Granted I know I'm going to feel like a thrashing, water-logged hippo; but I'm going to strap on all the foamy contraptions and jog away. May the thunder thighs of doom wreak havoc and bring forth mighty waves.

In thinking of new things that I can do to become more active, especially in the outdoors; I found some pretty nifty ideas. Unfortunately they all require equipment that I don't have (if you're wanting to make a donation please feel free to drop me a comment with your email addy). hehe. There's an awesome bike out now, the KONA HOSS(made especially for elephantine riders such as myself). Regular bikes aren't able to handle someone of my size, and be damned if I'm wanting to sit on something and the tires deflate. The other thing, which isn't as active but sounds just as fun... is Geocaching. For those of you without a clue, it's a kickback from letterboxing. Sort of a high-technology treasure hunt. But, once again, in order to be involved you need a GPS system. They're not too expensive, but when you have absolutely no money.... heh you get the picture. I'm more likely to be able to snatch one of these babies first though, maybe for Xmas. (I'd much rather have the bike though. There's about a $550.00 price difference. BEJEEZUZ!!)

Perhaps I should post a paypal button on here for my kona bike fund. Hmmm would be interesting. We shall see grasshopper, we shall see.

Yes, yes I have posted one just for the hell of it. If you want to see the bike I'm trying to get, follow the Kona Bike link in this post or in the left panel where the donate button is. Laugh if you will! Snicker, snort, guffaw. Then chunk a quarter or two my way. :)
