Lots of nothing

Well, I've been on the diet for 7 days, and haven't cheated ONE TIME!  WoooHooo for me.  I have lost 9 lbs, and am about where I was before my holiday eating binge.  Maybe my jeans fit again?  I may not know for a while.  I won't wear anything but sweats when it's cold out.  I'm a cold-weather wimp.

I'm still not used to having a whole weekend off.  Not sure what we'll do.  I think I'll get my hair all cut off tomorrow.  We're talking about renting movies...we hardly ever do that any more.  Sunday, we'll probably head to mom and dad's.  A weekend doesn't feel right if we don't go there.  I do the same thing there as I do here, sit around and watch TV, but I love it there.

That's actually quite interesting.  I started thinking of a way to escape that place (the town AND my parent's house) soon after becoming employed at 16.  When I was 18, I found my escape...jumped right into a marriage I wasn't prepared for.  That showed 'em, huh?  The older I get, though, the more that place pulls me back.  I want that place.  I wanna live in that town and in THAT house.  I'd have to make a lot of money, since I'd need to install central heat! :)  I can picture how I'd have it set up and everything.  I guess I just hate living in town that badly.

For a quick subject hop:  Why do people feel OBLIGATED to make small talk?  I mean, at least 4 people a day will say "having fun?" to me at work.  OH MY GOSH, YOU ARE SO CLEVER!  There are also a few who will say, "Hey, how ya doin'?" every time they pass me in the hall at work.  Even if they pass me 3 times in one day, they say "Hey, how ya' doin'?"  I just wanna say, "Ummm, listen idiot, I'm doin' the same as I was 5 minutes ago when you asked me!"  But I don't. 

Well, I've rambled enough.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Mine's gonna be filled with a whole lot of laziness!
