I'm feeling better, it's a new day and I am looking forward to the rest of the year. My sweet darling husband surprised me with an early birthday present. A year's membership at Gold's Gym. How excited do you think I was? Very excited. I don't think it's a normal reaction to a gym membership but you all know how I have been battling this unwelcomed weight so it was the best gift ever. To make it better for me, he got one for himself so we can work out together. What a thoughtful person. I think he has just gotten tired of me complaining about it for all this time. LOL. Poor thang. Starting Monday, I will be on a new path to my weight loss. I can't wait.
So my team made it into the playoffs. Go Skins! I have faith that they will make it further through. I'm not going to get all crazy and say they will make it to the Super Bowl but I'm just proud they made it thus far. We play today at 4:15 the Seahawks. I'm going to run out and buy me some Yuengling lager since this is the last 2 days before my workout I will consume beer for the game. Put on my faded Redskins tshirt and park myself in front of the Plasma. Oh how I love or HD wall mounted Plasma. It's perfect for the games and movies. This was a good buy for us.
Not sure if some of you new but my girlfriend created a book club. We had a meet today but due to certain circumstances, it has been postponed. I, however, finished the book and I have to say that as long of a novel it was, I found it to be informative, outstanding and a good choice of a read regardless of the length. In short, it's about a black man who grew up living as a white man. His daughter found out after his death and it led her unto a strong desire and determination to find out about her black roots that her father has stripped away from her. I give it an A for detail and content. I give it an B for attentiveness. At some points I felt she was rambling on with stories that I felt had no bearing really on what the book really was about but thankfully, it didn't occur often. My next read is Other People's Skin. Not a selection by the members but I figured I will get it done before they pick a new book. This book is about the self-hatred caused by intra-racial prejudice and the ongoing obsession with skin tone and hair texture among black women. I have a coupon for 30% off a book at Borders so I am going to head out and get this book I want to add to my collection.
Have a wonderful weekend friends.

Eccentric Water Bearer is a description of me in a nutshell. This will be my dwelling where I put my thoughts on paper. Not really paper but you get what I mean. It's pretty much going to be all over the place. I have too many thoughts going on in my head on a day to day basis to put in some sort of "order". There is no way of preparing you for what will lie inside but feel free to stop by anytime. There is always something for me to talk about.

Awww ... my condolences on the Redskins. My team is still in it (Go Jags!).
Ooh, a friend of mine was going to do a book club, but she just got a job too far away from us to do that.
Thank you. I appreciate the condolences, LOL. I am not going to hate and say your team won't make it to the Super Bowl just cause my team lost ;-)
Yeah it was a great idea. A good way to get folks into reading again.
