Scary...

In the spirit of Halloween I've joined a gym. Doesn't comply with Halloween...not scary, you say? Well you've never whiteness my big butt on an elliptical machine have you? I finally found a 24-hour gym so I can go after work, which is usually midnight. After signing up and paying they gave me this cute little magnetic "key" which is how I get in the building after hours. It makes a pretty cool clacking sound on my car keys and helps remind me to go run.

Tonight would be my first night and I have to say if I'm by myself in the place I'll be a little put off. I've tried walking my neighbor hood at night after work but it's so dang creepy. That would be why I took a deep breath and found a gym. I used to run all the time, I miss it and I miss the way I used to feel. 

All Sorts of Craziness

The weekend is coming to quickly! (never thought I would say that) 

Saturday is the Boo & Brew and I'm not finished with our costumes. Mine is almost complete, Bunny's is almost complete but I haven't even cut out the pieces for Fox. they don't take long to put together but It's going to be a couple of long nights. 

I would probably be farther along but I've been playing around and procrastinating. About a month ago I went to amazon.com and bought a whole big bunch of vegan cookbooks and since they arrived I've just been worthless. All I can do is get up and flip through until I find what I want to fix, I truly forgot how much fun cooking is. Now, though, I'm slowly forgetting how much fun sewing is and my friends are going to kill me if their costumes are not done.

In other news, I think I may finally have found a new job but I won't hear anything for another week. There is a stray cat here at work that I'm trying to capture, have fixed and give a soft warm bed with good food. And, my littlest bird Peta is sick and quarantined. It kills me too, not only is she not feeling well but she now has to be separated from the others. She was bobbing her tail a little which is a sign of labored breathing so I had her checked out, turns out she has a slight respiratory infection and now has to be separated and take medicine regularly. She was fighting me pretty fierce at first but now I think she starting to realize she's feeling better.

I am Batman!

Since it is October and in the spirit of Halloween I implore you to please go to batworld.org and adopt a cute little devil-bird.

You don't actually get the bat, but you pick one to sponsor and make a donation so this absolutely wonderful place can continue is awesome work.

My favorite is Van Gough, and can I just say the kids who did it better hope they NEVER cross my path. Kudo's to the store owner for saving him and getting him to Bat World!!!

Even if you can't make a donation go check out their site, it's a really neat place chocked full of fun bat facts and they have cool stuff for sale too. 

Thank you and Happy Halloween!!!

Lately I've been cramming chocolate on chocolate Newman-O's and PETA approved fair trade chocolate down my gullet not to mention all the other "junk." The best part is, I've not gained weight. Since the beginning, a few weeks ago, I've lost 10 lbs. The past few days I've eaten way more than I should but still sticking to a vegan approved list and haven't  so much as gained a tenth of a pound back. All I have to do is get through this bottomless pit feeling and it's back to healthy weight loss city. 

Mac started the diet change on Monday. I talked to her last night and she's doing alright, she's not feeling well but thats nothing new so I'm waiting for the "feel good" to kick in and then maybe she'll get more enthused about giving up meat. Although, I've been having wonderful success proving to her that desserts with no egg and no dairy are still gooooood if not better than there horribly bad counter parts.
